Admiral Aberle, chief of the naval

of any policy for use of dirigibles on

He added that the navy does not .

clouds reflected in the water mirror
and causes the crystal mirror to re

HOLMES-POISSON BID
STRIKES TECHNICALITY
Cheek for Fisheries Prodwets Cob*-

Filed With Receivers.
Wilmington. Aug. 15.—The Holmes-
Poisson ten per cent increase qver the
Keith-Scott* hid for Hilton plant of
the Fisheries Products Company has
struck a snag, according to a letter
from former Judge W. P. Neal, of
Laurinburg, a receiver of the defunct
concern, to Owen D. Holmes and
Louis J. Poisson, the latter of Roun
tree and Carr, attorneys, and to H.
Ford, deputy clerk of the United
States court here.
The technicality is that the check
for $4,876.30, given by Holmes and
Poisson, was made payable and de
posited -to the credit of the UhSted
States district court of East Carolina
when it should have been deposited
with the Fisheries receivers, Judge
Neal and Judge J. E.' Weskett.
As the matter now stands, it is
stated that Holmes and Poisson, in
order to make their 10 per cent in
crease over the bid of B. F. Keith
and David Scott, would be required
to make a new check payable to the
receivers as th£ deputy clerk here is
not authorized to draw this money
from the bank without an order signed
by Judge Issac M. Meekins, of Eliza

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Firm at Advance of 13 to 17
Points, December Selling Up to
23.85.
New York, Aug. 17. — i/P) —The cot
ton market opened firm today at an
advance of 13 to 17 points. Failure
of over-Sunday weather reports to
show anticipated rains in the south- .
west evidently disappointed some of .
Saturday's sellers. This combined with
relatively steady Liverpool cables led
to considerable covering or rebuying
and the market sold up to 23.85 for
December after the call, or about 23
to 24 points net higher ou active po
sitions.
These figures appeared fd attract*
southern or local selling, however, and
there were reactions of several points,
although prices held fairly steady at
the end of the first hour.
Cotton futures opened firm. Oct.

W. W. Ormond Fatally Shot
By W. B. Cole, of Rockingham
Rockingham, Aug. 16. —A con
ference of the attorneys of W. B. i
Cole, charged with killing Bill Or
mond here on the streets Saturday
afternoon, was held—here tliis after
noon and it is understood that it '
was decided to abandon the proposed
plan of going to Carthage Monday
aud seeking by means of habeas
corpus proceedings the liberation of
Mr, Cole under bond.
The attorneys who so far are said
to have been retained for Mr. Cole’s
defense are Bynum and Henry J.
Chesley Sedberry and IL 8. Bog
gan, all of Rockingham, and James
H. Pou, of Raleigh, and James A.
Lockhart, of Charlotte. Mr. Pou
was in Rockingham today in consul
tation.
It is scarcely likely Mr. Cole will
seek his liberty under bond at all,
but await the October sth term of
court to present his defense.
No statement has been made by
either Mr. Cole or his attorneys as to
why he took the life of young Or
mond, though his friends insist that
he was justified and that all will
be explained in due time.
i It is generally reported that young

Miss Elizabeth Cole, who is about

County Solicitor Haselton &aid that
he had not been informed of the de

Farm demonstration agents at

there were 9.152 folks. These agents

Ormond and his brother, Allison,
came from Raleigh to Rockingham
Saturday morning, on their way to
Byrfle Beach, S. C., and stopped off
for the day. It is not alleged that
Ormond attempted to Ree Miss Cole;
in fact, he was out at Ledbetter’s i*>nd
during much of the afternoon where
a number of friends were in swim

Returning to the city Portly before
5 o’clock, he phoned another young
lady that be would be up to see her
in a few minutes, and then stepped
out to his Ford Toadster, which wan

just fifty feet east of the Manufac

Mr. "Cole was standing on the steps
or porch of the building and saw
Ormond get into the car a few feet

unseen by Ormond, he walked rapidly
to the car, the occupant of which is
said to have had his back to the-ap

of Ormond, be began firing. No
struggle took place, other than when
Ormond seized the pißtol with his
