Young- Mourur Hoy Come Out lilamclc4 Fur KillhiK .Man Ij" May General Grutificmi. n at Verdict. Charlotte Observer, Thursday. "Gentlemen of the jury, have you arrived at & verdict!" -We have." "Justifiable homicide." "You mean by that I suppose," said Judge T. J. Shaw, "that the prisoner Is not guilty." "Yes, sir," agreed Foreman V. M. Tye. And so said they all. After deliberating for an hour and 40 minutes the jury In the case of Willie B. Stevens, charged with the killing of tieorge Smith on May 25, returned a verdict of "Not Guilty," at 7:50 o'clock last night. Court had adjourned nearly two hours earlier, but a dozen feminine relatives and friends of the accused had wailed patiently for the return of the deliberations. As soon as the jury announced that it had arrived hi a decision, a messenger was sent for Judge Thomas J. Shaw, who came immediately and received the decision. The verdict was anticipated by th general opinion of those who had heard the trial, and who believ ed that the case put up by the de fense was by far stronger than that of the State. The prosecution la bored under a complete handicap, since thore were only two eye wit nesses to what actually occurred. One of thoso was dead and hence un available for purpos-8 cf testimony, and the other was the defendant I, iti) Kelt'. WAS GOOD WITNESS. Th-v d 'feiulant, a popular young man of good cliai-ncii r ami good family collections, offered a plea of s-Mf-ilefettte and srslnlmd ll well.

A special attorney to prosecute the case wr.s retained by the dead man's nalt brother, a prosperous railroad man of Virginia. All of yesterday was devoted to trgument.' Speeches for the prose cution were made by .Messrs. Geo. W. Wilson, the solicitor, and Mr. F. It. Redd. For tho defense Messrs. Hummer Stewart. John A. McRae and ex-Judge Frank I . Osborne spoke.

Secreta ry Danlev pr suited the target prac tice pennant to the battleship Ida ho the crack ship of the navy, here today, and read her officers and crew a lesson In preparedness. "There never is time to 'make ready' In any truly great crisis In life." said the Secretary, commenc ing the crack gunners for their skill. "What is a growing navy worth to us unless manned by men who live In a state of preparedness? "You may not know It. but It will add to your appreciation when I tell you tli'iit as a boy, it was the high est ambition of Woodrow Wilson to enter the Naval Academy and be come a naval officer. If his father had not led him into other lines, the probability la that today he would lie with u a captain or an ad miral commanding the New Jersey, lei us say rejoicing with the offi cers and sailers of the Idaho in stead of wrestling with the big prob lems that have krpt him In Wash ington all summer while you have had the good fortune to be refresh ed by the breczrs from Old Ocean."

Mr. Hitch feared no 111 results from the slight wound and consequently paid no attention to it but in a few days the deadly germs began their work on hU sys tem ami despite heroie treatment by his physicians, he died yester day morning. No signs of tetanus were manifest ed from the wound until last Mon day, one week after the accident, when blood poison and consequent lockjaw set in. lie made a brave fight for life but the disease with such a lengthy start was beyond medical skill..

Fur the Year Clotted Yesterday lon rot llougtit More Cotton Than Kvrr llefore, and Probably More Cotton Than Any Town in the State. For the cotton year 1912-13, clos ing yesterday, Monroe bought more wagon cottton than was ever soid beit before in one year, and prob ably more than any single other town In North Carolina. The num ber of bales bought Horn wagons aud weighed on this market by Cot ton Weigher Harden for the year was 18,750. This la nearly 4.000 in excess of any other year except the big year of 1890, when over 1,700 bales were weighed here. The year before the number bought here was i. bout 15,000, and the highest num ber In preceding years ran about 12.000. The figures for the coun ty are as follows: Monroe 18,750 Marshville 7.46S Waxlinw 5.670 WIngute 1.484 Indian Trail 1,011 Total 34.383 A great deal of the cotton sold in Monroe came by wagon from adjoin ing counties In South Carolina, but this was little more than enough to balance off the amount of Union county cotton which was sold on markets outside of the county. In this county last year there were ginned 3,l03 bales, the preceding year being 29,843. Monroe has become one of the best If not the best cotton market in North Carolina. ISesldes t he amount bought from wagons the sev eral dealers here handled thousands of bales bought at wholesale from other towns. The l.tr.;e consump tion of the mills here ni.d the de mand of the brokers h; supply mills in other s"ctioas always keep the market here at the wry top. a ad cf .;kcki.k.I!:":::.

President Wilson, with the aid and complete sympathy of forceful On Saturday the co-operaiive cream ery company of Hickory held a cel ebration at which a thousand peo ple were present. A press dispatch says that the occasion was an un usual one. The company has just moved into Us new brick building on one of the principal streets of the city. Here tofore it has rented a small place in one of the suburbs. The new building Is thoroughly equipped with all the modern machinery untl con veniences suitable for the carrying on of an up-to-daffe creamery. The machinery is driven by electricity and. connections are made with the city sewer line for all waste materi al. It has a capacity of 3.000 lbs. a day. At present the company is turning out 1,000 lbs. daily, and has a membership among ttbe farmers of the county of 217, having grown to this number In three years from the original shareholders of only 38.

Nobody should, ever be allowed to speak in public who doesn't know better than to speak of "relieving the barrenness and monotony of farm life." The average country woman has no such colorless or tragic ex istence as the average city workinc man's wife, shut in in crowded quar ters and often forctd to take i:i s-w-ing or carry on other work besides looking after her household.
