TRUCK DRIVER HELD
IN HIGHWAY DEATH
Coroner's Jury Finds Negro Killed
By Vehicle Driven By
Virginia Man.
Oxford, July 125.—Robert Bevells,
young while in an of Doydton. Va.,
was ordered held under a SnOO bond
yesterday afternoon by a coroner's
jury in connection with death of
Selnic* Boyd. 18-year-old Negro, who
was found Monday morning four
miles from Oxford on the Oxl'ord
Stovall Road. Bevel Is is scheduled to
face trail at the November term of
Granville County Superior Court.
Evidence given at the inquest was
that Bevells was driving a truck for
Henry Allgood of Boydton and was
on his way to the eastern part of the
State to get a load of watermelons
Monday morning about 4:31! o'clock
when he sighted an object about 100
yards ahead of him in the middle of
the highway, approximately four
miles north of Oxford. Bevells staled
that when "I got 30 or 40 feet from |
the object, I realized that it was a
man. I was puzzled and attempted
to straddle him in order to avoid hit
ting him. I was driving approximate
ly 30 or 35 miles per hour."
John Wells of Union Level was
riding in the truck with Bevells.
After they passed over the body,
Wells got out of the truck and saw
that the man was dead. He and Bev
ells, in their state of excitement de
cided to return to Boydton and re
port the accident to their employer.
: Mr. Allgood, who that morning, Mon
day, got in communication with B.
S. Royster, Jr.. local attorney.
1 That morning, a Negro, Eddie
Jones, while coming to work, dis
covered the mangled body on the
' highway. He came to Oxford and rc
: ported the find to Police Chief Har
i vey Jackson.
Several character witnesses for
Bevells were presented to the coro
ner's jury. The jury found that Scl
ma Boyd came to his death by being
i struck by a truck which was driven
! by Robert Bevells of Boydton and
"we recommend that he be held un
der a bond until the November term
of Granville County Superior Court."
Members of the jury were Lonnic

the carry-over is terrific and our ex

Cattle, sheep, and hogmen re
cently have not fared so well as other
"types of farmers. Heavy slaughter
ings of hogs, loss of foreign markets
for hog products, bigger shipments
of lambs, have all been keeping prices
oi meat animals lower than a year
ago. Conditions should reverse them
selves before snow flies, however, as
consumer demand increases and sup

they are now working lower as the

Government Checks Eyual 15 Percent
Farm income this 1 all will con
tinue to be heavily bulwarked with
government benefit payments. Iht
percentage of total farm income from
government payments has jumped
from 5 percent in 1938 to nearly 15
perccnt so far this year. Altogether
Secretary Wallace has spent more
than $3,000,000,000 since 1932 to put
farm prices back to where they ought
to be. Prices are higher, but are still
far below the parity figure. Mean
while, prices paid for things the farm
er must buy have gone up almost at
much as farm prices. As a nation, wc
have mightly little to show for tin
mammoth sums spent for farm relief,
Whether the war will help the
•armer or not remains to be seen. T(j
date, its chief claim to such credit is
the fact that prices are higher than
ti year ugo. At the same time, the
war has literally choked off our ex
port markets for farm products on
tie Continent. The same has happen
ed to our Continental markets for in
dustrial goods, but our trade will
South America is absorbing the in
dustrial loss. South America, how
ever. wants to export—not import
farm produce. England will buy mor<
and more foodstulfs from us as th<
war continues. Otherwise, doinestu
buying power will continue to be th<
dictator on the majority of farm pro
ducts prices.
Mid-Year Outlook Next Week
Next week, I am going to give
readers my detailed forecasts foi
workers, employers, retailers, in
vestors, and farmers in the second
hall' of 1940. Briefly, for the farmer
I predict increased demand for meat,
eggs, fruits, modelately higher prices
for most farm products, and better
times for farmers between now and
,New Year's Day. In short, the loss in
export markets should—with the ex
ception of the grains, cotton, and
tobacco—be made up by increased
domestic buying.
Ancient Runic inscriptions seem
to indicate that until the beginning
of the Viking raids, at the end of the
eighth century, all the Scandinavian
peoples spoke the same language and
considered themselves kindred pen- *!

day.
