Interruption of telegraphic communication by elec trical interferences, if due to the pre sence of spots on the sun as set worth in the Brashear theory, will pass away within 48 hours in the belief of offie cials at the naval observatory here. The' present spot or group of spots 'on the face of the sun, estimated by naval observatory officials as 94,000 miles long and 21,000 wide, was near est the earth last night, and today through rotation of the sun was mov ing away from the solar meridian, observatory officials said today that, leaving out of consideration the de creasing effect of the spots on electri cal currents on the earth through the usual breaking up of the spots, the regular rotation of the sun on its axis would within a few days carry the spots so far from the earth as jo make their influence neglible . The theory that the auoria borealis or northern lights, which send ''earth currents" through teleghaphic wires, interrupting communications, result from sun spots was advanced by Dr. John A. Brashear, the -late Pitts burgh astronomer. ' The theory has never been definitely accepted, naval observatory officials asserted, but the fact that spots on the sun usually are accompanied by electrical disturbanc es has resulted in almost general ac ceptance of the theory.

She said her husband had purchased it from a man nicknamed "Red' who lives in Reidsville. Police refuses to give the names of the woman or the man. The gun is a .32 automatic Colt. The woman stated that it had been found a few feet in ambush near where Tom Robertson was killed a week ago. Seeing that he was going to be caught, Robertson tossed his gun aside, the woman said was her belief. This revelation places the blame of the murder of Policeman McCuiston on either Tolley or Edwards, since the bullet which killed the policeman was a steel .38.

Mr. Aaron Sapire, Attorney for the cooperative marketing associations of California, will speak in Charlotte on Saturday," May 21, at 11:00 a. m. The meeting; will probably be held at the courthouse. If not, place may he learned by calling at office of the Farm Demonstration Agent at the court house. Mr. Sapire is one of the best in formed men in this county on the co operative marketing of farm crops, and is easily the strongest and most convincing speaker that has ever visit ed this state. A movement is" on in the South to pool a part of the cotton crop and to market same on a scientific basis. Mr. Sapire has had some fifteen years' ex perience in assisting the fruit grow ers of California in marketing their products. Every farmer who possible can should attend the meeting in Charlotte. Storage of Sweet Potatoes. Mr. J. M. Propst, of the Daniel community is planning to construct a sweet potato storage house ot 1UUU bushel capacity to be built according to the plans as furnished by the State Department of Agriculture. Mr. Propst was in the office recently and made an engagement to have the re presentative of the Department of Agriculture, who is to visit this coun ty at an early date, to make a visit to his home Mr. Noah Leatherman, one of our "live-at-home farmers, has recently cut about 45000 pounds of oats and vetch hay from one half acre of ground. Enough he says to furnish roughage for this seasons' crops. He stated further that he thought a farm er who made it a practice of buying supplies that should be grown at home ought to be run out of the county. Most of us will realize that this severe, but if it would cause those who believe that they can buy food and feed crops cheaper than they can raise them realize that it is cheaper to grow them at houie, then we would appre ciate this statement more when we be gin to enjoy the benefits of growing our food and feed crops at home Soy Beans and Cow Peas. There are probably fields laying out or fields where winter grain was grown that would furnish consider able hay it they were sown in soy beans or cow peas. Surely this will b a better system than depending upon fodder for roughage. A man can make very little roughage pulling fod der, then too pulling the fodder dam- acres anv vield of corn to such nn ev- v . " r. . . ' tent that the value of the fodder will no more than pay for damage done to the corn. Just picture the man in field of soy beans, or cowpens, or mixture ot the two, with a team and a mower, several tons ot hay could be cut, worth many times what a days' work in the fodder field. Cow peas may be planted in thr corn to give satisfactory results. The best results. The Clays are just a lit tle earlier than the Wonderful. These may be planted between the hills of corn with a corn re-planter. If the J space between the hill is wreat enouerh. a hill of peas may be put between each mil. But if you think that that would be too thick, then put a hill between every other hill of corn, or between two hills of corn, then skip a hill. The peas should he planted about the last of this month or the first of June. When the corn is harvested, cut the vines with a harrow and turn under with a turn plow. Harrow lime and harrow again. Plant m -wheat and sow in Red Clover in the Spring, (or in the rail it you prefer) Inoculate Tour Soy Beans. If you have never tried inoculation on your soy beans, try some this year. 1 believe that there will be a difference. Enough to inoculate one bushel of seed will be furnished free upon application. It will take about 10 days to get the inoculation after you apply. Put your application in now so that you will have the inoculation when you are ready to plant. You can also get inoculation for cow peas it you want to try it. FOUR NEGRO ARRESTED FOR MURDER OF KELLER Three Are In Jail At Charlotte and n Fourth H Being Held At Spartan burg. Charlotte, May 16.

REVALUATION IS LEFT UNTOUCHED Raleigh, May 16. The meeting today of the state board of equaliza tion, which was expected to ratify the drastic county assaults upon revalua tion, adjourned without any positive action until June 15. It appears certain now that the general policy of the board is to be one of local self-determination and that except in extreme cases county action will not be interfered with by state authorities. In a letter sent to the chairman of every board of county comniissin- ers, today Colonel Watts says: At a meeting ol the state board of equalization held today, it ap peared that a few counties had not reported their action as required by law. some ol the counties had re ported a horizontal reduction in land values; others had reported a re valuation of all real estate in those counties. Une county which report ed its horizontal reduction has re quested the commission to be per mitted to consider its action, and others mr desire to do so. So in view of fnis situation, the board de cided to hold a meeting on the 15th day of June to consider the actien of all those counties makine a hori zontal reduction in the value of real and the request that the final action of such counties be certified to it by that date. Under the law those counties hav ing a revaluation of the property have until the 15th of July to make their, reports. It is the wish of the board that all counties making a horizontal reduction or those mak ing no general reduction, will certi fy their final action to the board by the 15th day of June, and, unless further action is taken by the coun ties and notice given the board, the board will act upon actions already reported." POSTOFFICE EMPLOYES ARMED WITH REVOLVERS Greensboro News, 14th. A. Wayland Cooke, local postmas ter, received yesterday from the post office department a number of army revolvers, scabbards and belts, along with a sufficient amount of ammuni tion to defend a position for quite a while. Owing to the unusually large number of robberies taking place throughout the country the postoffice decided to equip postal employes, ac tually handling mail, with side-arms. Employes on duty here will have a revolver lying close at hand in case of j trouble. An intruder who may have any intention of molesting Uncle Sam's mails had better make a con tract with an undertaker before launching his attack, according to. Mr. Cooke. Local employes, while perhaps not decorated with expert pistol shot badges, are able to shoot accurately. A few days ago Mr. Cooke received a letter from the postoffice depart ment that an order had been issued that employes handling valuable mails should be armed iu order to protect the valuables from robbers. The em ployes will be permitted to carry the weaPons only when on duty handling mail. MISS ALICE M. ROBERTSON BLUSHINGLY MAKES SPEECH Washington, May 16 Blushing like a bashful school girl Miss Alice M. Robertson, of Oklahoma, today made her first speech in the house. She engaged in debate after Repre sentative Mondell, the Republican leader had declared the federal govern-, ment had a "little pari: down in Okla homa" which it had been trying to get rid of for several years. It had been offered, he said, that so long as they may utilize the property and Uncle Sam pay the upkeep that that is a very satisfactory arrangement." Miss Robertson asked the name of the tract and when told it was Piatt National Park, inquired of Mr. Mon dell if he knew how it had been named. He admitted he didn't so she told him it was named for the late Senator Piatt of Connecticut, one of the best friends if not the very best the In dians of Oklahoma ever had."
