Walnut Cove, July 3.
Mr. Editor: '
f
The Prestonville local of the
Farmers' Union had a meeting
at Prestonville on Saturday, July '
Ist. There was at least 600 peo- '
pie present, and ice cream and
cake were served by the ladies. ■
Speeches were made by the 1
writer and P. W. Giidewell on
the purposes of the Union and
on the pooling system. This was 1
one of the most enthusiastic j
meetings ever held in the county j
and at the conclusion of the |
speeches pledges were signed by j
the members pooling at least:
seventy-five thousand pounds of
tobacco. Many others in that
community have promised to
pool. The battle is won if the
people continue to pledge as they
have done so far. I find the peo
ple of the county are thoroughly
aroused to action and we are go
ing to pool the majority of the;
"'best farmers.
Please call the attention of the
farmers through your paper to
the following appointments. I
will meet the farmers at these
places with pledges to sign:

Oak Grove, July 3.—The
farmers of this and the sur
rounding community are in
much better spirit at this writ
ing, owing to the recent showers
that have been so badly needed,

a deaf ear to their wants and
petitions that have been so
earnestly manifested.
The writer had the pleasure
of conversing with several of;
the most prominent citizens of
Stokes and Surry counties and
it is estimated that the tobacco
crop will be fully 35 per cent, j
short The corn cr- pof Stokes
looks promisirsr the i
recent droutl.. while Surry can
boast' of a bumper crop, the
best in many years. The wheat
crop is not as «ood as was
thought to be in early spring.
It is estimated that it will be
25 per cent, shbrt owing to so
much smut.

The Case of John Joyce, Alias Caleb
Hues. ' I
Greensboro, June 24. The'
trial of John Joyce, alias Caleb j
Hanes. a white man, charged
with criminal aasultupon Maggie :
Faucette, a white girl, near'
Brown Smmit, will likely be given,
to the jury about 6 o'clock this |
afternoon. A conviction is pre-!
dieted. |
In the hearing this morning it
developed that the true name of!
Hanes is John Joyce and that he!
|is from Stokes county, where he 1
has a wife living. It was also
proven that the defendant fled]
from Stokes county because of!
a difficulty in which he assaulted
a neighbor with a deadly weapon.
1 A, warrant came to Sheriff Jones
from Stokes several months ago;
requesting that a person by the
name of John Joyce be arrested
on the charge as above stated.
The county officers could not find |
such a person and the warrant
was returned. Caleb Hanes and
John Joyce is therefore the same
• person and it seems after fleeing
from Stokes he changed his
name and that this was the reas
on he refused to tell the officers;
where he was from after his:
arrest.
I Maggie Faucette, the victim
of the crime, was the first wit
ness called. She told of first
meeting the defendant and see
ing him frequently at the home
of Mr. Shaw, a neighbor, whom
she visited frequently. She then
told of their friendship ripening
into love and an agreement to!
run away to Danville and get
married, of the plans for the
elopement on Tuesday night of
last week, of their leaving home j
i and proceeding a portion of the
! way to Brown Summit, where j
i they were to board a train for;
I Danville, of Hanes stopping sud- j
i denly in the density of the woods j
and compelling her to remain
with him over night and submit-1
ting to his brutish passions,
of his promise to marry her on
Sunday if she would return to
Mr. Shaw's and tell them that
they were married, of their liv
ing together at the Shaw home
|as man and wife for two days,
I of the developments that led to
the arrest of Hanes and her
divulging to Mrs. Shaw and
I Justice Moore the horrors of the
j night in the woods.
On cross-examination the wit
i ness told the same story, despite
i the efforts of the defense to
j weaken her testimony. The only
' points brought out that would
| weaken Jthe contentions of the
' prosecution were that she was
not afraid of Hanes and that
after his diabolic crime had been.
: committed she made no attempt
to release herself from his em
brace until he voluntarily releas
ed her. She admitted going to
the jail yesterday morning at the
I request of Hanes and making to.
! him the statement that she was :
'still willing to marry him.

see it, and Phin was given an
ovation, and proclaimed tfie
hero of the season.

cidents of the week was a foot i
i l
race between Miss Anna Bux-j
• ton, of Winston,Salem, and Big,
I Tom Fleshman. the fat and j
jolly drummer boy, of Kemers
! ville. It was a 100-yard dash,
and Messrs. Coleman and Pep
i per were the distance-markers,
| and the butt end of the joke.

j very gay this summer, large
j crowds attending the hotel,
