Sup
reme Court Finds No
Error In Wisemans Case
The State Supreme court filed an
opinion last week funding no error in
the case of state against Wiseman,
from Burke.
The prisoner, charged with the
murder of Dr. E. A. Henneseec, and
convicted of murder in the first de
gree, appeals to this court from the
sentence of death pronounced against
him. The crime is alleged to have
been committee at Glen Alpine after
dark on the evening of January 31,
1918, on the arrival of passenger train
No. 21 as Dr. Hennessee alighted from
it and was moving west from the door
of the coach towards the passenger
station and after he had gone dis
tance of some eight or 10 feet.
It was a dark, rainy, cloudy night,
with some fog and mist, and there
were no lights about the station save
such as were in the train, and by
reason of the fact that the train was
about an hour late it came in after
instead before dark. The deceased
was sh.ot while the passengers were
getting off the train, and while sev
eral parties were standing near the
do- of the coach waiting to get on.
Dr. Hennessee was the first passenger
who alighted from the train and he
pessed through the crowd standing
near the steps and on towards the sta
tion some 60 or 60 feet further west,
he was shot some 10 times in rapid
succession, the last shot being fired as
Eller Trexler, the last passenger to
alight, reached the last step of the
car. ; ;

apply the "Wolf, wolf" story of Ae

congressional election.
They declared there was once a shep
herd boy who much enjoyed -crying
"Wolf, wolf," to call out the populace
of. the country to help destroy a make
believe attacking animal. . When there
was no wolff ound, the youthful shep
herd laughed heartily at his friends
Then they add that the republican!
have long since established in the 9tr
district a likeness to the wolf story bj
crying "Fraud," then laughing at the
excitement created.
It was quite plain Friday that there
was no excitement in the democratic
ranks over the republicans' declara

season tried out several varieties of
cotton. The different varieties were
planted in rows side by side so that
their yield and quality of staple might
be compared. Each row was given the
same amount of fertilizer and the
same treatment through the year.
This fall each variety was picked se
parately and weighed. Samples of
eacn variety were taken tq the State
College and ginned out on a small gin
to get the per cent of lint and length
of staple. The cotton samples were
then priced on the Raleigh market and
the money value per acre of each var
iety calculated. -
Dr. R. Y. Winters of the Extension
service was in Lincolnton last week to
present the results of " the two tests
to these communities. On Tuesday
night a splendid meeting' was hefd at
Daniels in spite of the bad weather.
The test in this community was con
ducted on the farm of L. A. Yoder.
At harvest time several growers of
the community met at Mr, Yoder's to
assist m the picking of the cotton and
to study the different dualities of the
cotton as to it earliness, type of
stalksL lenght of staple, vields. free
dom from diseases, etc. : The follow

test: '
