Union Republican, August 1st the Winston-Salem leaf tobacco uarket opened its New Tobac co Year. Since that time some 10,000 pounds of primings have been sold, at an average of $9.50 per hundred pounds. This is looked upon as a very gratifying beginning, so far as prices are concerned for primings are the trimmings of the tobacco plant, and is of very ordinary quality. Let us hope that a 14c average can be maintained this year. Those who raise tobacco deserve every penny received for it. Bunch of Keys Found.

By Dr. Cyrus TIi,iii,)m.ii, Kx-Sivivittrv I Mali" una r.H-.-in Iv Wiii.d iiiriiilii.'r of Nttilt- I.omi.I of In tilth. A hot summer day; two small voices conversing; two Typhoid germs, (Mutt and Jeff) separated for a time, are renewing their broken acquain tance. What were thy saying? It is worth your knowing. For the infi nitely small are more destructive than the visible great; and these minute forms of life are destructive through your ignorance and carelessness. Let us hear, then, what they said. Mutt: Hello, Jeff! I haven't seen you in a coon's age. Where have you been and what have" you been doing? You're looking fine fat as dead rat! Jeff: I've been in clover, as the fools say, since I saw you last. You remember how we first came to meet here? Mutt: Sure! We met as Brownies. That is, that fellow Brown, who had Typhoid, fever, deposited us here, when he was visiting his friend Smith. Though he recovered, we had hid in his in'ards, and he carried us around until we were finally dislodged into this sweet-scented old insanitarium. Jeff: Oh, I'll never forget the time. It was the first day of the blue skied June. The next day it rained, and I was fortunately washed away from you. I was sluiced into a neglected well, into which I tumbled heels over hoad- -into a watery grave. I thought I was passing in my checks. But it wasn't long before a bucket came down. I got in and went out and somebody carried me to the house. Mrs. Smith took a cool drink of water, and gave me a better home. Mutt: What did you do then? Jeff: I raised a family of course, gave the old lady fever, andsent her to the grave yard. But before she went, she cast me out. The Smiths believe only what they see. They couldn't see me; and so they didn't believe what the doctor told them about me. I was set in a jar n the back porch set there not dis infected, as the doctors say, until our airship, the house fly, came for his dinner. I clung to his foot and he carried me to a glass of milk at Jone's. Jone's little daughter drank me along with th.e milk. Mutt: That was fine! "Home again, jiggety jog." What did you do then? Go on. Jeff: Same old story. She was taken with fever July 12th; and three weeks later the preacher said, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away: blessed be the name of the Lord !" Mutt: That's good. But what else? Jeff: Before the girl died, they fetched hf;r aunt, a dairyman's wife. She didn't believe in disinfection either, One day she changed the sheets from under the girl and bathed her. I got on her hand and hid. When she ate her lunch, I went in on her bread. Mutt: Fine again that's luck! How did you manage her? Jeff; Oh, the same old day! They hauled her back to the country, and I rusticated with her; I raised a family, put her out of commission, and let her friends find consolation in what they call religion. The dairyman and his daughter were attentively kind to the good mother; but every, time they went from their ministrations they carried some of our kind on their hands. The dairyman carried me. Without disinfecting his hands, he filled his milk bottles for delivery. I got into a bottle oi miiK unit came to Smith's house I and scores of my children. The old man himself swal lowed me, and passed me out here a few minutes ago. Mutt: Is the old man sick yet? Jeff: Not yet: I'm trusting the kids to do the work for him. But I hear the good news of an epidemic of Typhoid in the city Mutt: You're a honey, Jeff. Let's pray for a rain or a fly, or both above all, for the continued reign of ignorance, unbelief and uncleanliness. Mr. L. F. Tillery, of Rocky Mount, arrived last night to visit at Mr. L. Vyne's. Lightning Kills Horses, Tears Up a Residence and Shocks Mrs. Shepherd. In Traphill township last Saturday evening and other parts uf Wilkes the rainstorm carried some terrible lightning with it. A horse belonging to Mr. A. C. Phillips in Traphill was killed and in the same township a mule owned by a Mr. Crabb was also struck and killed. In North Wilkesboro township near Fairplains Mr. Rufus Shepherd's resi dence was torn up and Mrs. Shep herd fearfully shocked. The lightning tore a chimney to pieces from top to the hip, ripped off the ceiling of one side of the room in which the family was, split the iron which barr the brick over the fireplace, tore out a window sill and knocked it across a bed in which members of the family were, landing it in another part of the room. Frank Atlanta Murder Trial. Atlnntn Constitution, 14th. When Monday's session of the Leo M. Frank trial came to an end, it was generally conceded that it had been the best day the defense had thus far had. True there was no sensational de velopements and there was nothing particularly startling in the testimony, It was merely the drip, drip of the water on the stone which eventually wares it away the stone in this case being the story told by Jim Conley and the statement made by Dr. H. F. Harris that Mary Phagan must have met her death within three quarters of an hour she had eaten her breakfast of cabbage and bread. The damage to Conley's story came in the testimony of Herbert Schiff, assistant superintendent of the Na tional Pencil factory, as related in Tuesdays tri-weekly. Joel Hunter, an expert accountant, who verified the mathematical work entering into the financial statement made by Fr-ink the day of the murder, said it would have taken him fully that length of time. Defense Trains (tans on Harris. The big guns of the defense were trained on the expert .testimony of Dr. Harris, who made a post-mortem examination of Mary Phagan's body and who testified with a finality which was startling that Mary Phagan's death must have occurred within a half to three quarters of an hour aft er eating. The consensus of expert opinion testifying for the defense was that Dr. Harris was hazarding the wildest sort of a guess. Speaking of the conclusion of Dr. Harris that Mary Phagan had been violated the question was again stat ed hypothetical Dr. Westmoreland said: it is about the wildest guess I ever heard of." Call Many Witnesses. Calling upon a total of twenty-two witnesses on Tuesday a.id making a record for the Leo M. Frank case, and possibly for any other in Georgia, the defense Tuesday made attacks on a number of points made by the pro secution earlier in the trial of the man charged with the mnrder of Mary Phagan. The day was spent in all but one or two instances in a steady stammer ing at the prosecution, or, to chan ge the sinvle, in a ceaseless stirring up of new points, so as to muddy the en tire case and make the points of the State unrecognizable. When Solicitor Hugh Dorsey,-on cross-examination, asked Philip Cham bers, Frenk's former office boy, if the superintendent had not made improp er advances to him and threatened to fire him if lie did not yield, a bitter fight was started. Attorneys Luther Rosser and Reu ben Arnold declared that such evi dence was grossly prejudicial and ir revelant, and that if the solicitor ever tried to introduce it again the de fense w juld at once make a motion for a mistrial. Attorney Squires, of Caldwell, was attending legal business here again this week. . News from Counties Near. The famous old wooden-covered bridge between Elkin and Jonesville is being tore away for a new steel structure. Lawyers H. P. Grier, Z. V.

The corporation commission Wed nesday approved the plans of the Southern Railroad Company for a com bination freight and passenger station at Shoals, says a Raleigh dispatch in yesterday's papers. The people of East Bend and Yadkin county and those who go there will be glad to hear this after all these years with a very small station house. Yadkin court will convene at Yad kinville next Monday with only 18 cases on the docket. The Yadkin ville papor says the jail has only been occupied one time since the last court there and this tin e Judge Carter is expected to finish in two days, Cashier Norman was to have been given a hearing there Wednesday aft ernoon.
