Not Necessary To Go South For Picker Walter Smiley, farmer of near Warrenton, contends that it is not necessary to go to South Carolina to get a champion cotton picker. He admits that the picking record made by a negro from our southern neighbor as reported in last week's Record by Fate Weaver was good, but not quite good enough to equal the record this week set up by a colored man born and reared in the county. He offers as evidence the record of Ruben Palmer, grandson of Aunt" Molly Mason. Reuben, according to Mr." Smiley picked 401 pounds of the staple on Monday. Not satisfied with that record, he went back Tuesday and picked 424 pounds. Last week Mr. Weaver reported! that Alex Roberts, South Carolina, negro on his farm, picked 403 [ nt nnHnrt in one day and [JVMiiUU V4 VVVVW. _ that the man's wife picked 400 pounds the same day. W.

A special act of the ltg?slature provides that the premiums on the bond of sheriff and other county officers shall be paid by the countv The office of coroner is not listed In the act and there is no law to make the county pay his premium. Mr. Petar claimed that justice demanded that the county pry his bond premium inasmuch as it was paying for other duly elected officers, and that his jefusal to pay the required premium was a matter of principal with him.
