! Love for their mother; w& i crit-

two Crawleys and theiOmtjanion:
t,i;. cwo- Vh rYHli
last week. . "' -.. r: '
This is what the; iertnient of
Justice agent, now in Raleigh, regard
as the most important element
that figured in his trail and capture
of the three Georgia men wanted for
over a month for desertion and . mur
der. Since his arrival here S JtUrday
morning, it has been learned that
Young will receive $60.0 reward for
the arrest of the three men $600
offered by Union county, Georgia
and $300 by the, government.
His story of' hunting the three
"out-la ws" - and their subsequent
capture in a hut not so far from
where their mother was critically
illj-perhaps dying furnishes an
interesting and thrilling story of
daring anl coolness Mr. Young told
this story to the Atlanta . Journal
when he carried his three prisoners
to Atlanta. In his .narrative of bis
work, in North Carolina, he also tells
something of his life. '
Mr. Young's account of how he
followed the fugitives by their foot
prints inNthe snow, as it 'appeared
in the Atlanta Journal, is as follows:
"I have been special . agent for
thejDepartment of Justice for about
two years; My heaaqUartera are in
Asheville. l&y businesses to nhunt
down deserters and t government
outlaws " v' ! :
T started after the Crawieyslast
I knew the v th6uaiotoFber: I
first went to Fontana, N. C and
crossed Yellow Crek. WMl I was
the J caught fvvo cteserters named
Will iarhs, and sent them back unde -
agucrd.1 went 'oh byt myself,
had- my Springfield K rifle and two
pistols a 45 Colt and 45 automatict
"I always travel at ' niiht and
started out on horseback, going
about 75 miles aday; But when I go
within ten miles of where I figured
the Crawley 8 were, ; I butted into
Bal4 mountain. I could oot cross
there jo went back to Asheville
then to Kuoxville, then to Maryyille,
and finally to a point about five
miles from Alcoa." 1
"There I struck the trail of the
Crawleys ana tracked them on foot
through the mountains. The snow
was heavy, and I trailed them by
their footprtnts in the snow. I work
ed all that night, laid up next day
and came on the Crdwleys next
morning. I dould not ask anybody
for information, because they Were
all friends oj the Crawleys; I couldn't
even let myself be Seen; All I had
to folio w them by were their tracks
in the snow. , ,
"Tuesday mornihg about 40
o'clock I reached the cabin where
I knew they were hiding. I simjply
p ished open the door. BlaineStewart
was" asleep on the ffopr.. . The othe
two boys were sitting in front of the
fireplace. Rose Crawley, sister of the
two brothers, was there, too. ;

Takiug Tanlac
He Says
"This Tanlac is the first medicine
I have ever taken that did what
people said it would do," said J. F.
Holley, residing at 427 BrecKenridge
street, Lexington, Kentucky. '
1 was in an awful fix for over
two months," he continued, 4 and my
whole system seemed to be run
down and worn out. Rheumatism
was my worst trouble, my muscles
seemed to be tied in knots. I could
hardly deep at night and would feel
as tired in the morning as when I
lay down at night. My digestion
was affected, I had no appetite, my
nervous system was disordered, and
I suffered with awful headuches. The
rheumatism would draw me up so l
couldn't use my right arm at all.
"One day a friend of mine told
me about Tanlac and I got a bottle
and started taking it It has certainly
made a new man of me. I can eat
anything I want, and this is some
thing I haven't been able to do in
years, and I sleep like a log at night.
That awful rheumatism is all gone
and my strength has been restored
and built up in every way. I sure
am glad to tell others what Tanlac
has cci-e for nie"
Tanlac is sold in Sylva by the
Syiva Pharmacy,, in Erastus by M.

ROAD BILL
(Editorial
from
Raleigh
News and
Observer, Feb. 15, 1919.)
t The Stacy road bill fails in sever
al particulars of being the sort of bill
that the occasion demands at this
time.
It is not comprehensive eno ugn
in point of time and mo eVi A prj-
1 k
ject so vast, so technical and so
delicate as building a svstem of
State and National highways requir
es the assurance of sufficient funds
coupled with sufficient time to in
sure the success of the undertaking
and a square deal to every part of
the State, including the somewhat
sparsley settled counties as well as
the rich and p pulou3 c mn ties. The
Federal Government p'ans for an
expenditure covering a period of
ten years. Any less comprehensive
plan On the part of the State would
jeopardize the successful working
out of the whole scheme. A two year
program is inadequate.
The Stacy bill does not provide
sufficient funds for the proper main
tenance of the proposed State high
ways to keep the roads so designated
in a passable condition while the
building program is in progress.
The circumstance of the State high
ways being inadequately maintaind
w,ould militate against the whole
State-wide plan of development.
The Stacy bill does not provide
adequate and permanent financial
support of the Highway Commission
and the Federal Government will
not enter. info contracts with a de
partment which is not a permanent
basis. .;v
!ffie;tacy bhTdiscredits the prer

the Governor and ail the 'engineers
off the commission, but worst ofTa!i
r Would eliminate the map who has
done more rosd-huiiding jn North
Carolina, than any other one man
in the State, Colonel Joseph Hyde
Pratt now with the Thirtieth Div-
istdn, who has spent the past year
building roads and bridges in France
and who has been commended by
General Haig for his efficieacy. Col
onel Pratt is seer jtary of the Amer
ican Ass3c at 01 of State Highway
Offlcials. IU commands the atten
tion and respect of road bui'ders 0
the entire country. He is both entit
led to a place on the Highway Com
mission and he is needed there.
The road bill is the second most
important matter before Legislature.
The most important matter isx the
matter. of raising revenue, but the
road bill is a close second. It should
be solved along broad lines. The ben
of expert opinion should be availed
of. A bill should be passed that
would be certain to command the
approval and co-operation of the
Federal good roads department. The
Stacylbill enaqted into law would
imperil the whole road enterprise
Let's do this thing right while we
are about it .
THE RIGHT USE OF LIME
Some prejudice against the use
of lime has been created by an un
wise use of it in the past. It was
found in art: early day that a heavy
application of burned lime would
increase crop production on a stiff
clay soil. It flocculated the clay
particles, improved the ' physical
condition of the soil, and made the
organic matter quickly available as
plant food. The immediate result
was an increase in the crop pro
ducing power of the soil, and de
pendence by the farmer upon lim
as a fertilizer. - Within a few year
the' vegetable matter of the soii
. iiqoH im thfi more avaiiaDit
I mineral plant food was changed

STACY
INADEQUATE
into' soluble form, and partial soil
exhaustion resulted. This irrational
Use of lime in European countries
gave rise ro the proverbial expres
sion, "Lime and lime without ma
nure, will make both farm and
farmer poor.
According to Mr. N. Winters,
Extension Agronomist of the W. C.
Experiment Station, itwil usually
not pay to use lime when corn, cot-
Uon and similar crops are grown
continuously; but it will pay to ap
ply from a ton to three tons of fine
ly ground limestone, lime or marl
every four or five years when peas,
beans, clover and other legumes
are grown as much as possible in
the rotation for turning back into
the soil as greeu manure. The r;
tionai use of lime includes the lib
eral use of legume crops, green
manures and farm manures.
