GLENN CASE CONTINUED - FOR PRIVAiE PROSECUTION I - ?-? ? , n-*i.. t The case of Raymond Glenn, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, upon John Nance,' was con tinued until the February term of Jackson county superior court, by Judge J. H. Harwood Tuesday upon motion of Judge Thad D. Bry son for the private prosecution who stated that the physical condition of Nance is still such that it would-be dangerous to his life and health for him to be forced through the ordeal of a .trial of the case at this tjmo. The defense did not offer any resis tance to the motion to continue. Nance was shot four times, on July 30th, on the streets of Sylva by Glenn a local jeweler following a separation between Glenn and his wife, a few weeks bfore; and it was at first thought that Nance would succumb to the effect of the pistol shots, foir bullets having struck him, one tak ing effect in his face and three in his body.

C;, Oct. 12?The smnt diseases of oats can be largely con-j trolled by treating the seed before | plantiu;.; with a weak solution oft formalin. The treatment will insure' clean oats and bigger yields. There! arc nine important j>oints to observe' when treating the oats and these as! outlined by G. W. Fant, extension' plant disease specialist-at State Col lege, are as follows: 1. Sied to be treated should be placed on a hard surface floor (con crete or wood) where the moisture from the treating, solution will not be injurious.' . . 2. One half gallon of treating so-j lution is required to treat each bush el of grain. ' 3. The amount of solution needed for treating the seed is calculated from the amount of seed to be treat ed. 4. Prepare the solution in the pro portion of one pint of commercial formalin to 40 gallons of water. If, for instance, ten bushels of seed iire to be treated, five gallons of treating solution will be needed. Prepare this by adding l-8( pint of commercial1 formalin to five gallons of water (proportion the pint to 40 gallons: water.) 5. The solution should be sprink-j led on the grain as it is shoveled j from one pile to another. Use the or dinary sprinkling can and scoop shovel for this purpose. See that all the grain is wet in the sprinkling. 6. After the sprinkling is over, stir the seed with a shovel s oas to in sure &11 the graii^ being wet. 7. Cover the pil? with sacks fori one to two hours in order to hold th ij fumes. Then spread the seed out in the air to dry. 8. The treating solution grows stronger with age- because of the evap i ration, of water. Do not use a so lution which has been allowed to stand for several days. I 9. Make allowance for the swell ing of the grain by regulating the : drill so at, to sow the proper amount j per acre. SAFETY IS TOPIC OF MOTOR CLUB Motorists have too much on their minds and have difficulty in finding room for thoughts of safety because they carry their domestic and busi ness troubles with them in the opin ion of W. F. Shipman, Assistant Man ager of this District of the Carolina Motor Club. The Carolina Motor Club official; following the example of the officials of 856 other Clubs affiliated with the American Automobile Association, has been studying the behavior of motorist in an effort to discover why there is so much apparent careless ness. The preoccupation of the motor ist mind is one of the principal fea tures thus far disclosed by the inves tigation^. " Motorists carry their business and domestic troubles with them,'' says Mr. Shipman, "and the result is there is very little time arid room in their minds for thoughts of safety. The housewife does too much shop ping at the wheel. The business man; puts on too many deals while he is, dodging pedestrians. Altogether, the situation is not conductive of safety." How this conclusion, was . reached, says Mr. Shipman, is as interesting as the conclusion itself, according to those who have studied these facts. Members of the safety and accident prevention committee of the club were commissioned to accept offers to rido with local motorists to discover what the drivers were thinking about. Al-! most invariably the drivers launched into a conversation regarding their interest. The assumption was that' there has been no one in the car to j talk these matters over with the driv er he would have discussed them over with himself mentally. . FRENCH MINISTER SAYS WEL- I COME IS ASSURED LEGION! Paris, Oct. 10?"The American Le gionnaires may be assured of the most heartfelt welcome when they come to Paris for their convention in 1927," Albert Sarraut, minister <jf the in terior, told Hilton U. Brown, or the Indianapolis News, who called on him today to discuss the proposed visit of the American. /Legion to j France next year. " What the American Soldiers did j for us'', added M. Sarraut, *' lias not been forgotten, andean never be forgotten. The French will be glad to meet them again." Allusion being made to reports from the JJnited States of n feeling in FranceVagainst Americans, M. i Sarraut remarked: "Some feeling does exist in France! regarding the debts. A good many of our people think hard terms have been made. That question is entirely npart from our affection and adniiri tion for the American soldier. Poli tics lia/e nothing to do with these sentiments of ours." Mention of alleged desecration of, the tombs of American soldiers in France brought a flash to M. Sar-I raut^s eye and the spirited reply: j "abominable fables. I cannot ac-j count for them unless they are the inventions , of hostile propagandists. | The tombs of American soldiers in France may be visited by thousands;! they will see how they are respected."! LITTLE GIRL FALLS ) THROUGH A TRESTLE I Ruth, the little daughter of Mr. rnd Mrs. J. M. Leatherwood, was only slightly injured when she fell througn the trestle on the Southern Railway, just east of Dillsboro, Saturday.
