Og>-^ J THE MM- BERT REE SB
rtf" ' Q iv3o FAMOUS PSYCHIC
Takes Lespedeza
To Sunday School
I
That John B. Davis, prominent
fanner of Shocco, is sold on lespedeza
is well known to his friends.
This year he has gone into the production
of this new crop on a large
scale. Not only is Mr. Davis interested
in farming, but is also an active
Sunday school worker. Recently
he combined the two interests
when he attended a group Sunday
school meeting and offered members
free seed as a means of raising
money for Sunday school purposes.
The North Carolina Christian Advocate
carried an account of Mr.
Davis' offer. The account follows:
At an all-day meeting of the Warren
circuit at Sarepta church the
fifth Sunday in June the woman's
work was given prominence. A large
congregation from Bethlehem, Providence,
Prospect, Shady Grove and
Sarepta assembled to spend a day
considering Christian work. The
pastor, Rev. S. E. Wright and his
assistant, Rev. A. M. Williams, divinity
student from Duke University,
were both present.
Some of our leaders in the
woman's work representing these
five churches are: Mrs. M. M. Person,
Mrs. C. E. Skillman, Mrs. J.
C. Davis, Mrs. D. P. Limer and
Miss Nannie Harris. After the worship
service at 11 a. m., conducted
by the pastor, Mrs. M. T. Plyer
spoke on Woman s Achievement in
Missions.
The afternoon session was given
over to a program from the churches
of the circuit. Each church conA

while and interesting. The part
taken by the children was unusually
well done. But the climax of the
occasion was reached when Mr. J.
B. Davis arose and said that he
would donate to the women as much
as $200 worth of lespedeza seed to
be planted and the income from
the harvest used in their missionary
work. An estimated return from
this $200 should amount to $2000.
This proposition suits the women,
since their husbands can sow the
seed even before another crop is
harvested. Soon a fine crop of hay
is standing ready to develop and to
be used. Now this is an ideal plan
for the women?they get the seed
free (usually sold for 40 cents per
pound), their husbands can pow
the seed, nature produces the harvest
and the revenue goes toward
Christianizing humanity. And what
about the hay? That is just what
the farmer needs as feedstuff.
In the history of woman's work
for missions there have been gifts
brought to the altar and these have
-- J a him
been biessea auu 111 Ul w ..
dredfold. This gift will also be magnified
and future generations will
receive its blessing.
Mr. J. B. Davis is a son of an
honored member of the N. C. Conference
who has long since gone to
his eternal reward and also a
brother of Elizabeth Davis who went
a\ a missionary to Brazil from our
Woman's conference in 1900 and
married Rev. W. B. Borches. Both
are doing missionary service in Brazil
at the present time.

MAN JAILED ON1
MURDER
s^e
Bennie Clayton Dies A{ Durham
Hospijtal; Francis
Slaughter Re-arrested
SELE-DEEEJNSE CLAIMED
Francis Slaughter was re-arrested
on Monday afternoon and placed in
Warren county jail to await trial
at September term of Superior court
upon a charge of murder. A wire to
Sheriff Williams that morning announced
that Bennie Clayton, white,
alleged rum runner, died in a Durham
hospital as results of wounds
inflicted with a shotgun by Slaughter
on the night of June 6.
Slaughter was placed in jail last
week when news from the hospital
indicated that Clayton's condition
was worse, but was released on
Monday morning. He was re-arrested
in the afternoon by Constable
Snipes after a few hours freedom.
Following the shooting on June 6,
Clayton was brought to Warrenton
where he was given surgical treatment
by Dr. F. P. Hunter and rushed
to the Henderson hospital. Later he
was transferred to a Durham hospital.
Slaughter came to town and
surrendered to the officers.
A preliminary hearing was held
before Magistrate W. C. Fagg. Evidence
in the case was that Bennie
Clayton and Jesse Stevenson had
been to the Slaughter home late
Tuesday night, assaulted Francis
Slaughter's father, mother, sister
and himself and driven the family
from home. The evidence further
was that on the night of the shooting
Clayton, accompanied by Stevenson
came again to the Slaughter
home, charged that Francis Slaughter
had his pistol and told by the
young man's mother not to enter the
house, and as he was entering the
home Francis fired upon him with
a shot gun.
Magistrate Fagg released Slaughter
upon his own recognizance and
told him to report to his court each
day until the extent of Clayton's
wounds could hs determined.
The trouble is said to have arisen
over the fact that the Slaughter
family objected to Clayton's paying
attention to Margaret Slaughter,
over a pistol said to have been stolen
and over a charge that James
Slaughter had reported Clayton's
still. Both Clayton and Stevenson
were wanted by Warren officers.
Stevenson fled and has not been
taptured.
Corn Growers May
Build Soil Fertility
Returning from a field trip in
eastern Carolina where he inspected
1,033 corn fields in seven counties,
E. C. Blair .extension agronomist
at State College, reports that 55 per
cent of these fields had soybeans,
cowpeas or some other summer
growing legume interplanted with
the corn.
"This is a wonderful showing
and indicates that our best corn
growers are realizing the import
ance of keeping up the fertility ol
their land through the use of legume
crops," says Mr. Blair. "My
trip was made through Wayne,
Duplin, New Hanover, Brunswick,
Columbus, Robeson, and Cumberland
counties. This is not generally
accepted as soybean territory; yet,
565 of the 1,033 fields of corn inspected
were planted with either
soybeans, cowpeas, velvet beans or
snap beans with the soybeans being
far in the lead of all other combined."
New Hanover county had the
highest proportion of legumes in
corn, or 64 per cent, while Duplin
came second with 60 per cent.
Mr. Blair said as a general thing,
the best and most thrifty looking
fields of corn had legumes in them,
while most of those on poor land,
and these showing evidence of poor
farming did not have the legumes
interplanted. It was also worthy of
note, he said, that the most fields
without legumes were found in the
remote sections of the counties
visited.
Some farmers argue, says Mr.
Blair, that planting legumes in corn
j will cut the yield but results of
'f "',J ^f?vi/"incfraHnns fines not bear
11C1U UUliUiiUMwv*w..w ?
this out. As a usual thing the yield
of corn is maintained and the land
made more fertile when the crop
residue is thoroughly plowed under.
Mr. Blair has some demonstrations
which show an increased crop yield
the following year. Planting legumes
in corn is a good practice and
should be more generally followed
throughout the State, he recommends.

Scientists Find New
Use For Corn Cobs
Maizolith, a substance hard as
stone and stronger than most kinds
of wood, is one of the newest products
of chemical magic, working on
cornfield wastes. Says Science Service's
Daily Science News Bulletin,
Washington:
"It can be made from many parts
of the corn plant, but most advantageously
from corn-cobs. It is one
of the things that has been made
by the chemists of Iowa State College
at Ames and has recently been
undergoing tests on a semicommercial
scale at the U. S. Bureau of
Standards.
"It is prepared by chemically digesting
the corn-cobs, reducing
them to a uniform jellylike pulp in
certain standard paper-mill machinery,
and pressing the jelly in a
mold. The resulting solid material
is a dense, hard, bonelike substance,
ranging in color from a golden tan
to a deep ebony. It is somewhat
stronger than the hardwoods, and
is a good electrical insulator. It can
be machined and polished into nonmetallic
gears, washers, panels, and
other objects such as are now made
from hard rubber and bakelite.
"It is estimated that a commercial
plant with a production capacity
of five tons per day could
manufacture it at a cost of about
$240 a ton. The cost might be cut
if it is manufactured as a byproduct
in other cornstalk industries.
"Its trade name, maizolith, Englishes
into 'corn-stone.'"

Camp." Capt. Bowers also pointed
cut that this was the first encampment
for four of the new men
to qualify with high scores and that
one of these Pvt. Roy A. Cameron
led the company. The three others
were Pvts. Harvey E. Weldon, 216;

Cameron was sick and could not
shoot. Sgt. Pittard and Corp. Loyd
did not qualify. Sergt. Benjamin P.
Terrell qualified as- a member of
the Camp Perry team. Although
Pvt. Cameron did not qualify on account
of illness, Capt Bowers said
that he might be placed on the team
in view of his record in the regiment
rifle match. There were twenty
companies in amp and as there
are only twelve from the regiment
on the rifle team. Capt. Bowers said
that he was naturally gratified that
Company B qualified one and possibly
two men out of the twelve.
