minated in Miller Hitting Barrier

Coroner J. A. Hartsell held an inquest
over the head body shortly after the
} homicide, and the jury rendered a verdict

makes it impossible for Miller to be
freed on bond.
The tragedy occurred near the ('on
cord Steam Laundry, where-the two
men worked.- Just what led up to the
killing is not definitely known, but it
is alleged that it was* the result of the
eternal triangle, and that a woman was
.it the hot tom of the difficulty between
tho two men. One report reaching police
headquarters ,*.aid Barrier had been teas
ing Miller, who was married only re
cently. and another report said that the
trouble between the negroes was of a
more serious nature.
After striking Bdrrier. Miller made no
effort to run. He helped place the wound
ed man in an automobile and made no ef
fort to escape. Barrier died while be
ing rushed to the Concord Hospital. The
pipe broke bis skull, it was reported,
and he lived only about 30 minutes.

TAKING ISSUE WITH
PRESIDENT HARDING
Senator Fletcher Says Farm Legisla
tion Was Passed Over Opposition of
Administration.
Washington, June 28. —Taking issue
with President Harding’s address at
Hutchinson. Kans., Senator Fletcher,
democrat, of Florida, a member of the
agricultural bloc, said in a formal state
ment today that whatever recent legisla
tion has been enacted of real benefit to
the farmer had come from a combination
of Democrats and " Republicans, in the
face of opposition by the administration.
AA’hercvCr the administration lnifr In
tervened i "under pressure” demanding
some relief for the agricultural popula
tion. Senator Fletcher asserted "the
methods and effect of the intervention
lias been to weaken or destroy the bene
fits intended to be accomplished.
Paying tribute to the “farm bloc.” the
Florida Senator said that but for “their
energy and insistence/’ many measures
never would have been written into law
*>r put into effect, “and now we have the
spectacle of the leader of the party and
flic administration claiming credit for
that work.”
Pastures For the Pigs.
Raleigh, N. C., June 25. —“Experi-
ments have shown and experience lias
proven that no Tarheel farmer should
attempt to raise pigs, unless he first
plans a deiifiite system of pastures. This
permanent pasture should be available
for the hogs throughout the summer
mouths and where provision has not
been made for it. soybeans or eowpeas
can be used to advantage by making
plantings at different periods during the
year so that other ’ grazing fields will be
provided as fast as one is. exhausted,”
says Earl Hostettler, in charge ot swine
investigations for the State College and
Department of Agriculture.
Air. Hostetler states that to have a
good permanent pasture, it needs to be
seeded in the fall and a mixture of 14
pourtds of orchard grass. 6 pound of red
j clover. 4 pounds of white Dutch clover
■ and 6 pounds of Alsike clover per aero
will make a good mixture to use. Where
the land in' on bottoms, the Alsike clover
i may well be increased to take the place
of the red clover. A pasture mixture of
' this .kind or a seeding of alfalfa, red
clover and alsike clover can be used* with
good results over all North Carolina.
There are numerous other grasses and
legumes such as Bermuda, burr clover,
lespedeza or red top that will furnish
good grazing for hogs, but these are not
nearly so p’atatable as the legumes
mentioned and will not give as good re
sults, thinks Mr. Hostetler.
He says. “Through the fall and win
ter months oats and rye make fine graz
ing and may be sowed between rows at
last working of the crops. This nit only
economizes on the land under plow bill
serves the two-fold purpose of soil
building and grazing. During the spring
months, the sows and their litters will
thrive on oats and rape pasture and the
hogs will later harvest that grain not
consumed while the oats were being
grazed.
“Good pastures are essential in hog
raising but it must be kept in mind
that the animals also need a good grain
ration in addition.”
Rowan Cotton Mill Pay* Dividend of

POISON TAKEN FROM 24.000
REPTILES FOR SCIENTISTS
Sent to Scientists Who Are Trying to
Find Remedy for Snakebite
Brownsville. Texas. June
glass jars, hermetically s«
filled with yellowish crystals. ~.<-e on
a shelf in the office of \A\ A. i"Snake”)
King, at “Snnkeville/* on the outskirts
of Brownsville. The crystals in each
jar- represent the collection of poison
from approximately 8,000 rattlesnakes,
and, according to Air. King, there is
enough poison in the jars to kill several
regiments, if it were properly applied.
King annually buys and sells thous
ands of rattlesnakes, and at "Snakeville”
there are at all times hundreds of rat
tlers of all sizes and descriptions. For
several years he lias been collecting pri
son from the reptiles, crystalizing it in
a small ki’n and sending the crystals to
scientists in all parts of the world who
are endeavoring to find a remedy for
snake bite.
Few people in Brownsville realize the
volume of business which flows through
‘'Snakeville.” They daily see scores of
boxes labeled “Dangerous Reptiles:
Handle AVitli Care," leave and enter the
express office., but it is an accustomed
grown sight. Dozens of Alexiean snake
catchers are required to keep the stream
of reptiles moving Into King’s pens.
“1 have never charged a cent for the
poison crystals, nor do 1 ever expect to*
charge any one for the antitoxin.” King
states. “I have saved the poison and
crystalized it foT the benefit of science,
and 1 have the antitoxin for the benefit
of any one bitten by a rattlesnake.
“Scientists throughout the world have
asked me for crystals*, and I have never
failed to respond, provided I was as- •
sured they were to be used for legitimate
scientific purposes only.”
It is a erious fact. King points out,
that the poison used to produce the an
titoxin works well only when it comes
from the family of snakes from which
the bite has come. In the case of a
ratt,lenskae bite. King asserts, the serum
used is made from the b’ood of a horse
'inoculated with rattlensake poison in
jected into the blood as near and as
I soon after the bite as possible.
AVhen the snake farm at Sao Paulo,
Brazil, wgs established by -theßrazilian
government and placed in charge of ad
vanced scientists. King was asked by
them for some crystals and antitoxin.
King supplied several quarts of the crys
tals, representing the collection from
about 20.0000 rattlesnakes.
King lias branched out his business to
include birds and animp’s of diversified
variety. Parrots, iguanas, ant-eaters,
horned toads, wildcats, Alexiean lions,
eopards and scores of other specie of

Y’ears.
San Francisco, .June 28.—Two meals
a day as a regular diet for men over
middle age. especially those whose oc
cupations do not require great physical

diets of a* large number of families in

grows feebler for the first meal of the

about August 1 ; eastern North Carolina
about Septemtier Ist; and the Old Belt

JOHN PARK DOESN’T THINK
“JUNKET” VERY COSTLY
Says Cost of Feeding Passengers
Practically Only F.xpenses Involved
rim Leviathan Trip.
Raleigh, June 27. —As the “actual
food chut* was ftss thaii u tiny per
passenger” and the cost of food was
“about the only expense of having
guests aboard” during the recent trial
trip of the John Fark, pub
lisher of The Raleigh Times, on his re
turn from New York today declared “I
didn’t feel it so. much like an imposition
at that rate, although regular pas
sengers pay $340 for the accommoda
tions assigned to me."
Enthusiasm over the performance of
the leviathan was expressed by the
publisher, who was the only North
Carolina passenger on the trip.
“I had enough curiosity to find out
how much Chairman . Lasker and the
shipping board ‘wasted’ on men as an
invited guest on the trip,” he asserted.
“The chief steward told, me that the
cost of food was about the only expense
of having guests aboard as the entire
crew is paid on a monthly basis. Buying
food in quantities keitys down expense
so low that the actual cost was much
less than $2 a day i>er passenger. I
didn’t feel it so much like an imposi
tion at that rate although regular pas
sengers pay $340 for the accommoda
tions assigneed to me.”
