THE CONCORD TIMES
SB.OO a Year, Strictly in Advance.
'j THE cotton conference
j Decides TI uU the Salvation 0 f the
Farmer Depends on Three Things.
llahigh, Nov. lo.—OP)—The cotton'
conference in Raleigh last week de
cided that the salvation of the cotton 1
[ farmer depended upon three things:
Immediate financial re ief for carry
ing over this year's surplus crop; in:
sum nee that acreage will be reduced
i:cx: year sufficiently to avoid any
danger of another surplus, ami t'he
ado]ftion of a plan of diversification
,of crops to take up tin* abandoned
• cotton acreage.
The immediate necessity of speed
ing tip application of the first two)
remedies is universally recognized. The
Tim first, that is financial aid, is al
ready prepared for application. The
second, which takes in plans for
acreage reduction has already been
discussed at a general meeting, and
i is s’ated to be placed in the shape of;
a definite proposal when the commit- J
tee lnaded by Dr. K. C. Brooks meets
Mere on November 10th.
The importance of the third provi
sion of the scheme of salvation hasn’t
come in for so much attention. It
has been overshadowed by current ne
cessity, but here and there agricul
tural experts have put their heads to
gether and decided that without it the
emergency provisions of finance and
reduction will not amount to the pro
verbial hill of beans.
Unless the farmers are taught “good
fanning” and definitely educated away
from staking their all on one crop, all |
the present efforts will go for naught, j
they say. They admit, however, that :
"good farming” cannot be put into 1
effect by the mere passing of a reso- j
lution or the signing of a note at a
bank. That requires education, and]
education requires time.
For years the extension services of
the agricultural branches of state de
partments have been dinning their
tune of “diversification.” The pres
ent cotton debacle indicates that their
job is a hard one. It is admitted
that there are few tasks harder than
to wean away a farmer definitely
wedded to cotton.
Tais year, with a horrible example
to argue, greater success is expected, |
and greater efforts are to be made,
according to extension chiefs. Pub
licity and personal education is to
be the rule, they d«?*are.
The campaign pi-wfa-i-t/ waVstaneiT
with a booklet issued by the agricul
tural extension division of State col
lege working in conjunction with the
United States department of agricul
ture. The booklet Was entitled “Farm
Program for Xoith Carolina in 1927. I
It outlines the present over-produc- j
tion situation, stresses the danger of I
a general shift to any other “money |
crop” such as tobacco, and gives a
comprehensive p!an for diversification.
The plan was divided into eight parts,
each of which, it was said, “are sub
stantiated by actual demonstrations
with successful farmers and by expe
rience of groups! of farmers in these
counties where such programs have
been followed.”
The eight points fire:
Fi lf ,t—Each farmer should grow
sufficient grain and roughage to sup
ply the needs of his work stock.
Second —Grow an all-year garden
for the purpose of supplying the needs
of his family with the necessary veg
etables, and in most eases have a
surplus for the market.
Third —Keep at least fifty laying
hens to supply needs of his own fam
ily and have a surplus of both poultry
and eggs for sale.
p our t —Keep at least one family
cow to supply the family with milk,
and butter, and wherever sufficient
feeds are available, additional cows
to produce milk and butter to be sold
on the market. ,
Fisth —Produce sufficient pork for
the family’s needs. If surplus corn
is available increase the supply of
hogs so as to be able to sell on the
local market or to be able to take
part in co-operative earlot shipments
to the larger markets, thus increasing
the family income.
! Sixth—Plant cotton only on the
.best cotton lands, and restrict the
acreage to those lands that wi pro
duce at least a half a bale during a
normal season.
Seventh—Have at least two so
called money crops. ' ,
Eigth—Begin definite rotation • ot
! crops, which should include a legume
crop grown on at least one-fourth o
the cultivated acreage each year so
as to improve the fertility of the soi
and ultimately to be able to reduce
the cost of production.

MAN KILLS WIFE AND
THEN COMMITS SUICIDE | ,
John Keeline Also Shot Wife’s Sister |,
But She is Still Alive. i |
Council Bluffs, la., Nov. 15.—(A 3 ) —
John Keeline today shot and killed his ]
wife and probably fatally wounded ,
her sister-in-law, Mrs. Henry Ander- •
son. He then committed suicide. s
The shooting occurred at the Keeline
home. ]
Keeline was a member of one of the ,
oldest and best known families of this (
city. He was known as a financier
and sportsman, and at one time was
connected with Council Bluffs Sav
ings Bank, v of which he was a stock- (
’holder.
Mrs. Anderson had been staying at
the Keeline home during the absence ,
of Keeline on a business trip..
To Hold 57-Year-Okl Cotton as
Heirloom.
Oiiip'.ey, Ga., Nov. 15. —(A 3 )—A bale
of cotton almost 57 years old, is owned t
here by heirs of Christopher Columbus
.Tones, who in September, 1870, had
the bale ginned and then held it year
after year for the price he had re- j
solved to get for it—22 1-2 cents j
per pound.
Planter Jones sold his other cotton I
but obdurately held to his bale on
which he placed a price or $132.07 1-2
for its original 587 pounds.- Even
tually the “resolution/ bale” became a
family pet, so to speak, and its senti
mental value was that in recent
years when cotton soared to its 45
cents per pound peak, no offers were
entertained.
Ginned in the old-fashioned way,
the cotton remains in what is left of
the original bagging and ties and its
quality has not deteriorated. Ex
perts have graded the lint as “No.
2” and reported that the fibre pulls
one and one-sibeteenth inches.
The heirs.have agreed that the bale
j never should be sold.

i MCCARTER EXPLAINS
CONVERSATION WITH
JUROR ON SATURDAY
(Defense Counsel in Hall-j
Mills Case Says the Jur- j
■ or Started the Conversa-)
! tion in Court.
OFFICER PRESENT
AT THE TIME
Lawyer Says Juror Only
Told Him Brother Was
I Dead and He Wanted to
See the Judge.
Somerville. N. J., Nov. 15. — UP) —
Robert H. McCarter, of defense coun
sel in the Hall-Mills case today said
that conversation he was reported an
(having had with a juuor in the case
was in fact a conversation the juror
had with him. At the opening of court
today there were rumors that a mis
trial might be ordered, that Charlotte!
Mill*? had seen Mr. McCarter talking i
to a juror and that something would j
be done about it officially.
McCarter said to the Associated
Press:
“In the court room Saturday morn
ing before court opened I was sitting
at counsel’s table talking to Mr. Stu*
dor. one of my associates. Mr. Till
man, one of the jurors, w : th a court
official came up to our tabic and said
he was the juror whose brother had
died, and that he wanted to speak to
one of the presiding judges, and asked
if we knew where the judges were.
“Both Studer and I expressed re
gret at his trouble, and I said I had
not yet seen Justice Parker, but that
Judge Cleary had just gone out of the
room. This was the entire incident, j
and it was overheard by the court of-!
ficial in charge of the juror.”
Edward F. Tillman yesterday, ac- j
companied by ba’liffs, attended the i
funeral of his brother, Ulysses Till- i
man. at Raritan.
Sister of Dead Women Testifies.
Courthouse, Summerville, N. .T.,
Nov. 15.— UP) —Mrs. Elsie Barnhardt.
sister of Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, slain
with the Rev. Edward W. Hall, said
on the witness stand today that h p r
sister told her that she loved Mr.
Hall’s little finger more than her hus
band’s whole body. Testifying
slates witness at the trial of Mrs. 1
Frances Stevens Hall and her broth
ers, Henry and Willie Stevens, charg-j
ed with Mrs. Mills murder/ Mrs.
Barnhardt said that Mrs. Mills had
taken her into her confidence in tell
ing of her love for the' rector of the
church where Mrs. Mills was a mem
ber of the choir.
"Eleanor told me she loved Mr.
Hall’s little finger more than Jim’s
whole whole body,” the Witness said.
“Jim” is James Mills, husband of the
slain woman.
Later Mrs. Barnhardt added that |
her sister repeated the statement ,5n I
the presence of Mills and their two
children, Charlotte and Daniel.
“She said it several times,” Mrs.
Barnhardt testified.
Her sister met her warning that her
friendship with the minister was un-1
wise with the reply, “I don’t care who!
knows I love Mr. Hall,” said the wit- j
ness.
The witness told of the “last bench
in Bucoleueh Park” as a place her sis
ter told of meeting Mr. Hall “and
helping him with his sermons.”
“Somewhere on Easton Avenue was
another meeting place,” she said, “and
another was in New York.”
THINKS COAL PRICES
WILL DECREASE SOON
With British Strike Over Demand
For American Coal Will Fall Off.
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 15. — UP) —A
decided reaction in the bituminous
coal market in this country will fol
low the return to work of striking J
British miners, in the opinion of Chas.
J. Goodyear, spokesman. for the Pitts
burg Coal Producers Association. De
mand for American coal from foreign
countries sent the product as high as
$11.50 a ton to householders within
the past month, but with the English
strike settled Goodyear said prices
should drop at least to the level pre
vailing before the rise.
Most of the coal sold to European
buyers was bought on short time con
tracts, he said, adding that these con-1
tracts would now be cancelled and
surplus coal intended for shipment to
foreign ports would be thrown on the
American market with a consequent
drop in quotations.
J. J. McNeill, vice president of the
Consolidated Caol & Coke Company,
said run of mine coal had dropped
on Saturday to $1.85 a ton, after
having sold a week ago at $2.25. He
said, however, he did not expect the
bottom to drop out of the market as
a result of the strike settlement. The
domestic demand usually is heavy at
thisi time, he said, would serve to stiff
en prices. He added that large in
dustrial consumers would be quick
to take advantage of any drop in
prices, a fact that would aid in keep
ing prices steady.

Chicago, Nov. 15.—(A 3 )—Christmas
day the Christian holiday that brings
thoughts of home to millions, from
queens to the humblest commoner,
will find Queen Marie under her own
roof in Bucharest, instead of on the
Atlantic.
At the request of King Ferdinand
iof Roumania, his royal consort has
; cancelled a portion of her American
trip so that she and her children,
Princess Ilenna a\id Prince Nicholas,
may be with their own people on De
cember 25th.
They will sail from New York on
December II th instead of December
24th as originally planned. Part of
a contemplated southern trip will be
! abandoned to meet the earlier sailing
date.
“Her Majesty received word from
His Majesty that lie wanted to have
her home for Christmas,” explained a
member of the royal enourage. He
said too that the people throughout ;
Rumania were so anxious for their be-1
loved queen to be back at the holiday j

“And Her Majesty was touched at j

j ward to a brief southern trip, but she
j wants most of all to obey the wishes

The revised itinerary for Queen
Marie cancels a Florida trip and calls
for a two days stop at Washington,
beginning November 24th, and a visit
to Atlantic City on November 27th,

1 BARBARA TOUGH IS
AGAIN ON THE STAND
Asked About Girls Who Had Gossip
ped About the Mtnister and Choir
Singer.
Court House. Somerville, N. J.,
Nov. 12. — UP) —Barbara Tough,
Scotch, and with a conscience, was
sorely troubled when she was recalled
today as a witness in the Hall-Mills
j case. The former maid in the Hall
| home was made to “feel mean" when
she was asked to give the names of
“girls of the Guild” who gossiped
About the “friendliness” between the
Rev. Edward W. Hall and Mrs. Elea
nor Mills several years before they
were slain together. Instructed by the
! court to give the names of the gossip
! ers after she had protested, riie declar
ed with manifest emotion that she felt
“like a sneak.” At that, the Scotch
lassy’s revelation of gossipping girls
did not hurt their reputation as of to
day to any extent, for she knew few
of their married names, she declared
after adding that most of them “have
married well.”
Their maiden names were given in
a disgusted tone, and with so much of
the “bonnie brogue” of old Scotland,
that only the few fellow countrymen
of the witness present could identify
them. The description “friendliness”
used by tlie defense counsel on cross
examination referring to Mr. Hall and
Mrs. Mills drew a protest from the
State’s representatives that the word
• did not fit the case. It remained cn
the record when -previous testimony
showed the witness had used it.
The Scotch woman said that while
she was not a member of the church
of which. Mr. Hall was reetdr. she was
a member of the Guild. She heard
the Guild members “mostly girls” gos
sipping of the “friendliness.”
SAY RUSSIANS WOULD
BUY CROWN JEWELS^
Jewels Being Brought to America For
Sale by Norman C. Weiss. Jeweler.
New York. Nov. 15.—OP)—Report
has it that a group of Russians here
has been organized to attempt to ob
tain by legal process jewels of the for
mer Imperial household in Russia
which Norman C. Weiss, a jeweler, is
bringing from Moscow to sell. Anti-(
soviet Russians desire to obtain con
trol of these jewels, which are valued
at a fabulous sum, to satisfy claims
against Red Russia.
The jewels run the gamut from the
famous nuptial crown of Catharine
the Great which contains 1,529 dia
monds and is valued at $52,000,000, to
a gegaw in the shape of a baby’s rat
tle of solid gold and ivory, upon which
the late Czar Nicholas cut his teeth.
Included in the purchase is the his
toric diamond-studded three-edged
sword of the “Mad Monarch” Paul I,
which he carried in the military re
views of his day, and the pointing of
which at a regiment which had gained
his displeasure through poor maneu
vers meant that the entire regumment
was to be sent to bleak Siberia in ex-,

BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION
Will Meet in Wilmington Tuesday
Afternoon at 2:30 O r cloek. 1
Wilmington, Nov. 15.—0 P) —The]
ninety-sixth annual session of the
Baptist state convention opens here]
next Tuesday at 2:30 o’clock and.
continues through Thursday evening. |
i The sessions will be held in the First i
I Baptist Church. The pastor’ con
i forenee begins Monday evening at
| 7 :30 and continues through Tuesday
[ morning.
A' number of prominent out-of-state
speakers are on the program and sev
eral questions on which there is known
to be a division of opinion are ex
pected to come up, which make the
conference of great interest, not only
to Baptists, "but to the public gen
erally.
For the past several years Wake
Forest college has furnished the storm
center of dissension. Fireworks have
been furnished in fight on qpllege fra
ternities at-the .institution -and upon
the religious attitude of the college’s
: liberal president, Dr. W. L. Po-
[ teat..... ■, ....
| The rank and file of Baptists ap
] pear to have become pretty well recon
t ciled to the Greek letter fraternity,
! now that it has been out in the open
for two years and has brought on
none of the dire evils its opponents
charged up to it. The question is
not expected to create any disturb
ance at the conference.
The Poteat question is also believed
to be settled. After weathering op
position for years, the president an
nounced last summer that he intended
to resign next year when he reached
his seventieth anniversary. The fight
on Dr. Poteat was due to his leaning
toward scientific theories of biology
rather than strict adherence to the
teachings of fundamentalism demand
ed by straight-faced Baptist church
men.
“While there is nothing spectacular
or sensational scheduled, yet "no seer
is wise enough to forecast what may
happen in a Baptist meeting. Sev
eral important questions, about which
there is a division of opinion, will be
presented and it would be easy enough
for some one to ‘start something’ if
he had a mind to do so, but usually
the conservative element prevails in
these meetings,” declared Walter M.
Gilmore, of Raleigh, secretary to the
convention.” _

I dum is an announcement by Senator
I Royal S. Copeland that-he regards the
j vote in that referendum as a mandate
to him to do all he can to bring about
modification of the Volstead act.
This is the first time since he was
elected to the Senate in 1922 -that
Senator Copeland lias indicated his
position on the liquor question. In
that election, Ue defeated-* Senator
Calder, a wet Republican, and in do
ing so received the support of many
dry Republicans. By many persons
it was assumed that Senator Copeland
was inclined to be dry, if he was not
actually dry.
During liis service in the Senate
he :ias not been called upon to vote
wet or dry. But he has not hitherto
joined with the wet group in > the
Senate demanding modification of the
Volstead acL Ilia preseat statement,
’however, shows that hi fcbe-coining
session of Congress he will be aligned
with the senators who have been lead
ing the fight for a revision of the
Volstead act.
Aside from that, Senator Copeland
announced that one of his main tasks
in the next two years will be to bring
about the nomination on the Demo
cratic ticket and election of Governor
Alfred E. Smith as President of the
United States. The senator says the
result of the gubernatorial vote in
the state puts Smith into the preferred
position for this office and Ms claims
cannot be denied.
