V h THE DAVIE RECORD. C FRANK STROUD - - Editor. OFFICE Second Story Angel Building, Main St. Entered atthePostoffice inMocks ville, N. C, as Second-class Mail matter. March 3. 1903. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance 50c Si Months, in Advance . ..25c WEDNESDAY JULY 12. 1911 The merchant who doesn't adver tise is the man who looses, and not the paper that fails to carry the ad vertisement. If Davie is such a bad county, as some would have us believe, why don't the kickers get out. Four trains daily run through the county. Some people are natural born liars and it seems impossible for them to tell the truth when it would answer their purpose better. Davie is one of the best counties in North Carolina, notwithstanding the slurs cast on her fair name by emigrants who have landed here from other sec ttons of the State. It is a sad fact, but true, neverthe less that some people cannot bear to see anyone prosper but themselves. The earth and its fulness thereof, doesn't belong to any one man, party church or corporation, and every man should have a square deal. The Record is not the largest paper in the county the Cooleemee Jour nal is twice its size, but when it comes to county news, we are right on deck. The people realize this fact, which explains why we have double the cir culation of any other paper in the county. Romus Swisher Killed. While threshing wheat at the-home of Mr. Trivette, near Sheffield, on July 3rd, June Clary and Fl yd Swisher, two young men, got into "difficulty and several blows were ex changed. In some manner Romus Swisher, a brother of Floyd, and Zol Clary, a brother of June, became mixed up in the difficulty, and Zol Clary hit Romus Swisher with a pine j su Come Remember that great Sale we had last fall thejbig values we gave, and how the people crowded our store and clamored to be waited on? The huge success of that sale giss to prove thit the people have faith in us and in our advertisements-know that we give just what we advertise, and advertise nothing but the truth. When we have a sale we give bargainsbargains which are real bargains bargains worth your time and fully worth your money. Now SUMMER TIME is here, and SUMMER TIME IS CLEAN-UP TIME. Fall is rapidly approaching and Fall Time means more room for New Fall Goods. So to Clean Up what we have left in Spring and Summer Goods and to make room for our Big Fall Stock. y ALL SPRING AND SUMMER GOODS, CLOTHING, SHOES, HATS AND FURNISHINGS, MUST Not One Cent Charged. Don't Ask for Credit. Bring the Cash. REMEMBER WHAT A FLETCHER BROS. SALE MEANS TO YOU. A FEW HINTS TO THE WISE WILL BE SUFFICIENT.

At this point, June Clary hit Swisher with a pitchfork, one or both of the blows being sufficient- to result in the death of Romus Swisher about 6 hours later. Zol Glary left imme diately after the fight and has not been apprehended up to this writing, Sheriff Sprinkle went to the scene of the crime on Tuesday morning, and finding June Clary, arrested and brought him to town and lodged him in jail. An inquest was held by Cor oner Foster, over the body of the dead man, and the jury found that he came to his death by a blow or blows delivered by the two Clary boys. A preliminary hearing was given June Clary Thursday before E. E. Hunt and J. H. Coley, J. P's., and Clary was bound over to court under a $3,000 bond. Attorneys A. T. Grant, of this city, L. C. Caldwell and W. D Turner, of Statesville, appealed for the plaintiff and Attor neys T. B. Bailey and E. L. Gaither appeared for the defendant. The Record reporter has heard so many reports that it seems almost impos sible to get the story right, and we shall not pass on the case until a Judge and jury has heard the case and passed on it. The killing is a deplorable affair and is to be regret ted by all good people. Clary is sr ill in jail, Sheriff Sprin kle having; refused to recognize the bond. It is said a reward will be of fered for the arrest of Zol Clary. Harmony, Route One News. People in this section are about through working their crops. Mr. A. L. Hodgson had cotton blooms June 29th.
