DECEMBER. 32. 1919 FIVE CENTS PER COPT $1.50 per year 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. ; ; DOEY'S MAJORITY -IS NOW 1,193 Complete .

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 ing table contains the results of this test: ' Variety, Cleveland Weight of seed cotton per ton 1216: weie-ht of xppH per acre. 769; weight of lint per acre. 447; per cent of lint 36.77 Length of staple 1 in.
