There are three shaving chairs In the Edmunds shop; Edmunds used the beck one. 1 was in the b&zber hop the night of the cutting. 1 have seen Ormond several times, but did not know his name until that night He and Joe came into the I shop together. He was a heavy, strong looking man. They were both drinking. When they came Ormond polled off his coat'and collar and he aal^, "By O?d d?n, I want. a shave; I want to shave right now. who in the h?I Is next." Nobody replied. He walked up to UopwAdant and said, 'Mf yon are next 1 wilt take your plaoe, and If anyone else wants * to shave I will pay ior their shave." The barber said: "Too have had your ehave thla evening." Ormond replied. "I want another.one right now." He aid: "1 bet Jones that lie .had tome monkey rum." Joneraaid: "You have mot gotOrmond replied: "I will ^ take it out of your pocket and drink it" Ormond walked ap to Jones and palled fee bottle out o( his pocket and took a drink. I do not know what be did .*fth the beCtUt Jul* , came in about that time. I reckon ' that he ?u eating. I did not pay pedal attention to what he waa doing. He looked normal, much like 1 have alwaya seen him. Ormond aatd: "Hello, Joak Mills." Mills did not make aay answer and came along looking through the crowd When he got to Ormond he said: "What is that yon have been saying about my tablet." Ormond replied: "1 hare eald so G?d . d?n much X don't know what 1 have aald." They wero standing fact to face. Mills was standing back to Edmund between Ormond and Edmund's chair. I did not notice any further conversation between them. The next thing that I heard was two or three licks passed. Jones waa standing between me and I looked around him and they (Ormond and Mills) ware both hitched together. Something "Wrack aay coat. 1 found that It was *v'. ZvMlOOd and saw that there waa blood ? ? .. .? ? i _ .. They came out ot the door together "behind me. Hills was backed towards Sdmund. I saw Ormond when he oame off the street and backed up against the sidewalk there. He went up the street towards the drug store. Mills was going back to get his hat. Blood was dropping from his clothes when he went up the street with Mr. Hoyt. X went back, in the barbet shop after they had cleaned up the blood and water, and got my shave. Cross-examined ,by Mr. Kitchln?I had been in the shop 16 or 20 mlnutes when Ormond came In. His face did not look as If It was flushed; be did not show -that hs had bean drinking. He was cool and quiet. I did not see Ormoad break the glasa. The glass was brokea ss l ^was coming out. I tried tp catch Ormond'a mule. 1 saw Mills go track and set his hat. 1 did not hear Mills eay anything then. 1 can't say that I heard Ormond aay he has fixed me or that he has eut me to death. I will aot say that Mills was eating anything. I heard Mills aay after the cutting (hat he would tike to know what the damage was. It was probably thirty or forty minutes sifter the cutting when Mills came back In the shop. The wltnees was handed a document aad asked If that was hla signature. He replied yea. I remember signing the Utement. Mr. Kugler was pres-j ent aad Mr. Daniels. It was read over to me. It was made early thai week after the cutting. 1 don't remember having made the addition which atatad that Mill, TO sllfhilr drinking and that hta faca waa floah ad. 1 atgmad both autamoota. 1 don't recall tana tha facta aa thajr appear bar*).

The g meeting in the city on the Cape Fear F was a delightful one and Fayette- bi tile royally entertained th& dele- fc 1 gates. Mrs. Carter is the chairman p . of the Home Economics Department u c and the report of this department, t< B which she read is as follows: y, ??? v Madam President and Members of i| the Federation: tl It Is with great pleasure and sal- a e lefaction that I present to you at a - this time the report of the work t done by the Home Economics Depart - 8 f ment during the past year. P i The object of this department, as 0 !- you all know, is Twofold; first, to jj arouse among the women of this h it 8tate an lntereet in modern methods y of home-making and give' them a a practical working knowledge of the a i- various phases of Home Economics; j [. and second, to bring about the ex- <] tension of Domestic Science courses t if into the curriculum of every school t i. and college In thev8tate that Is not e i already so provided, so that our t e daughters may receive proper educa- v A Hon and training in this all-Import- t it ant subject. To accomplish the first of theso l- two alms, the department has adopti cd a vigorous and extensive news>1 paper campaign by publishing ar - tides calculated to show the necesc slty and the general scope of the im proved methods of providing more economically and satisfactorily for I- the care of the home, and following I- these up with more technical and detailed accounts of the particular means to be employed fn accomplish-1 d ing the desired results. It Is. of rr. course, impossible for the Home Ecol noxnics Department, either in this n way or in any other way; to reach dill rectly every home in the 8fl?te, but t- we do feel that we can reach at iy least all the women's clubs and that m through them the Information can be dlsstmlnated In the outlying districts ?r In the vicinity of each club. These x- articles are being published from time to time In the Charlotte Daily Observer and In the Raleigh News end Observer, and we would suggest . that each club make a^jint looking them over with, a view to taking h- from them sueh material as they ke think may be of use for publication in their own local papers. We would also ask thM the various cltibs keep In touch with the department by communicating with t- us as often as poslsble You may have at something that can be used in court nectlon with a newspaper srft<41e. ry suoh as a photograph of the new dobe aeetlc science class room and equip is ment with the class hard at work, or som*?bl?g novel la the way of domestic science methods or appliance#.

V J tion Is Submitted tome Economics page in the Char>tte Obaerver, and would appreciate i K we might hare some material e> draw from in the way of a pararaph or two from every club In the ederatlon that is interested in this irtject, showing the best thing they five done or the most progressive lan they have undertaken along this ne. If any of you have attempted o run a littie garden to supply egctables for home consumption, re would be glad to hear from you 3 that respect. The chairman of he department has been conducting demonstration garden of this character, fifty feet by six in size, for he past eight months, with the reult that from an actual cash exense of $3.75 for seeds, work, etc., ver $55.00 worth of vegetables have een produced?enough to supply >er own table, can sufficient for the rinter, sell a few to the neighbors md provide green stuff for the horse md chickens. The garden is still troducing and will continue to proluce for some time yet without furher outlay. This should convince he most skeptical how vastly mor< conomieal It is. or ouaht to be. foi he housekeeper to grow her owr egetahles, rather than to depend ipon the market*. The second aim of the department ixtension work. Is far more Import int than the first, as It seeks to pro Luce better conditions for the com ng generations. The only way bj rhtch the principles and practlct if Domestic Science can ever be mad< prevalent -among our homes Is b: laving them taught in the school. k> that our children may lmbtb< hem at an early age along with theii >ther studies; and the Home E5eo lomics Department, realising this, li mtttng forth every effort to encour ige and foster the growth of pub ie sentiment In this direction kmong other things we are contlnu ng and enlarging upon the progran ilready established of having lec nrers sent out* by various Instltu Lions of the State, such as the Unl rerslty of North Carolina, the 8tat formal School, the Greenville Train Ing School, the Washington Colle Elate Institute and others, to gjv practical talks on Domestic Science lardenlng, sanitation, etc. These lec turers, together with the chairman o the department have been visltlni snd giving talks at the rural school ?f various counties during the pas year, and we hope in time to cove the whole State. Tn the meantime, we would urg the clubs to use their beet tnflueac with the oosnty authorities towar having an assistant lady supervise appointed for each county, who wfl make a business of visiting the dti trlct schools for the purpose of e< tsfttlisblng and Instructing classes i Domestic Science and Installing kit chenettes for the practical appUci uon of It* ^rtootplw.
