M'ARTHURS LOSE CASE Jury Finds Signatures of Mrs. McAr. thur and Adam McArthur Genuine Decision Makes Good About $73, 000 in Notes and Checks Also Re moves Possibility of Indictment for Forgery. Raleigh Special, 14th, to Wilmington Star. - This morning at 10 o'clock the jury in the noted case of Citizens Bank of Norfolk vs. the Newton-McArthur Lumber Company, Adam McArthur and Mrs..M. E. McArthur, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, holding that the signatures of Mrs.' McArthur and Adam McArthur on the note for $25,000, held by the Norfolk bank, are genuine. The jury had been out all night and there was much appre. hension that there would 'be a sec ond mistrial . The first hearing of the case last February resulted in a mis. trial, eleven of the jurors holding that the signatures were genuine, and one that they were not. At the former hearing and again in the hearing just concluded, Adam McArthur admitted 'the genuineness of his signatures on secured bonds of the Newton-McArthur Company, held by the Bank of Richmond, so that these signatures were not in question at this trial. Mr. McArthur's posi tion was that while he did not re. member signing these bonds and thought that in signing such papers for the Newton McArthur Company he was signing them merely as an officer of the company, and not as making himself personally liable, that he.wotdd."iitt..Sst$iJude.Qtrs . tpUhe man agreed op. hei;e ,fxc.lgresi. them . ' The outcome of this- nanus-- raeW'r :""7-": ' A J sion and the verdict in the other case of the Norfolk bank make the pa pers in the hands of the banks perfect ly good. ; . Furthermore, tne verdict oi tne ju ry removes the possibility of indict ments being taken against J. Sprunt Newton, or anyone else, on the -charge of having forged the signatures of the McArthurs to the notes and other papers. Also it practically makes perfectly good probably $75,000 of notes and checks held by other banks, including over $50,000 in the hands of the Raleigh banks. , Messrs. A. W. McLean and L. R. Varser, of the law firm of McLean, Varser & McLean of Lumberton, were of counsel for the defense in this case. Mr. McLean returned home Saturday and Mr. Varser returned home last evening. Mr. C. V. Brown, cashier of the Bank of Lum. berton, and Mr. Frank Gough, of the firm of White & Gough, were wit nesses at both trials and testified, as did other handwriting experts, that they did not believe the signatures genuine. CROP PROSPECTS PROMISING Good Rains Prospects - Good for a Bumper Crop Melons Galore. Mr. W. I. Stone of Mt. Eliam was among the visitors in town Saturday. Mr. Stone told a Kobesonian reporter that he never saw better cotton and corn crops on the "Mount' at this season of the year, and as for water melons they are there. Good rains fell here Friday aner. noon and night and reports from al. most every section of the county are to the same effect. Since the rains have come the farmers are all wear ing smiles and say things look prom ising for a bumper crop. Mr. Oscar Helgran of Globe swamp was in town Saturday. Mr. Helgranm reports crops coming on une in ma section and says he will have ripe watermelons in less than two weens. Mr. W. M. Bridgers of blrod, route 1, was among the visitors in town this morning. Mr. Bridgers reports a . lot of rain in his section and good crops', except tobacco, which he says it not there. Mr. Bridgers says The Robesonian has been good enough all the while, but is growing better with each issue. This renorter spent yesterday in South Robeson and saw lots of tobac co that was set out Saturday. The farmers seem to think it will pay bet. ter put out now than cotton . Mr. C. W. Britt, wno was in town today, says that in the Purvis section, where he lives, crops are simply beau tiful and as fine as he ever saw. Mr. Britt says he is getting squashes out of his earden. which puts him ahead of the man who was reported in a re cent issue of The Robesonian as say ing that he would be getting squash es soon. Tobacco from Last Year's Stalk. Mr. J. M. Sullers of route 1 from Orrum says he has two large stalks of tobacco that sprouted up from last- vear's stalk. The stalks were out in the cold all last winter but early in the sonne the old stubbles sprout. ed and now two nice hills of tobacco are the results. 1 Recorder's Court.

FIRST PEACE PROTOCOL SIGNED First of Series Through Which it is Hoped to Restore Peace in Mexico Embodiment of What United States Has Been Striving For. Niagara Falls, Ont., Dispatch. 12th. Delegates from the United State and the Huerta Government in the presence of the mediating representa tives of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, today formally signed the first pro. tocol of the series through which it is hoped to restore peace in Mexico. The agreement as to the manner of trans, ferring executive power from Huerta to the new provisional government, reduced to writing, provides: "A government is to be constituted in Mexico of a character to be later provided, which shall be recognized by the United States on (date to be fixed) and which from that day forward shall exercise public functions until there shall be inau gurated a constitutional president Protocol Significant. The brief protocol was significant of two things: It makes no mention of General Huerta as the provisional president, and as stated in Associated Press dis patches last -night, it omits the meth ods of transfer which the Mexican delegates and mediators suggested, and to which the United States ob. jected, on the ground that its reten. tion would be tantamount to recogni tion of the existing regime. The Mex ican plan provided that Huerta should name as minister of foreien affairs The Mexican delegates, while aban doning the constitutional "form of sue cession as a part of the protocol, are satisfied because it does not specifi cally deny Huerta's right to name as minister of foreign affairs the man chosen here for provisional President if the latter sees fit to accept desig nation from him. It is now consider ed probable, however, that the new provisional President, who is likely to be a Constitutionaliset, would take the executive power direct from Huerta, but he might to do so from some other individual whom Huerta might leave in authority. All parties now are concentrating on the second part of the peace plan which relates to the name of the pro. visional President, and possibly will include his cabinet of four. Though the protocol is of comparatively few words, it is the embodiment of that for which the United States has been striving for more than a year elimi nation of Huerta . With Huerta's for mal statement of his intention to withdraw when Mexico was political ly pacified, today's protocol takes for granted that such a pacification will occur and arranges for the trans ition.

Why Does Not the Town Maintain a Slop and Garbage Cart? To the Editor of The Robesonian: Why has not Lumberton town a slop or garbage cart? We are not allowed hogs to eat op the slops -and waste from the table and kitchen. Which is worse for the health, a well kept hog-pen or to throw out such for the attraction of both flies and dogs. Why not feed hogs at the county home that has to be supported by the town and country to be used by the inmates of that home. Yes. we have some few slop pots placed by a few white people for darkies to carry off the slops. They don't come for them often enough, if they come at all. It sets and sours and flies worn around there all day. At night the hungry hounds and yard dogs take the round to quarrel, fight, bark and bite to our annoyance and wake the cross babies that are sick and disturb the sleep and rest of the over-tired moth, er, then overturn the tubs, leaving it on the ground for that tired mother or servant or the man of the house to clean up. Maybe a nice boy gets a spanking for refusing to attend to such. He is cross then and the break fast spoiled too. Why can't Lumberton have a slop wagon as well as a trash wagon. What is the use of a yard inspector and health officer and doctors if we have then no way to prevent the un healthful condition that we housewives can't prevent. Can't someone help us? Is there not a way' What will our mayor and chief do ? Will they rather clean the street mud off of our men's and children's boots and wash the wagon wheels than clean up the slops from the overturned pails. HOUSEKEEPER. Fred N.
