Pole, of Rockingham, was re cently acquit Ad, tedaj fill'd suit hero for $150,000 agaiist Cole. The father of the dead man asked $75,000 compensatory damages for the killing and $75,000 punitive damages for “wrongful death.’* The suit was filed in Wake County Superior Court. Ormond was killed on a principal street of Rockingham on August 15th by Cole. The young man fur h num ber of years hajl been a suitor of Cole's daughter but tor some time jirior to the killing had remained away from the Cole home by request. Cole was tried in Rockingham throe weeks ago and after entering a plea of insanity, and, self-defense, was ac quitted. Having pleaded insanity. Judge T. B.

Humber. Then the two children were turned over to the eare of Miss Lueile Eifort, the coutpy welfare of ficer. Although the warrant charged cruel and excessive punishment, and the verbal' evidence was horrifying, the brutality of Wallace was more strik ingly exposed by his various instru ments of torture which were intro duced into, the record* ns exhibit A. They included hickory switches, of va rious lengths and thicknesses, a large mallet, a chair rung, a half dozen boards, also of different sizes and weights, and an Iron poker. Another exhibit, alone sufficient to convict Wallace, was the photograph made of little Margaret's body on the evening of the day on which she received her last and worst whipping. Tl»y showed more than 60 stripes, several deep blue spots, and two little toes almost mashed off, it is accused, by the crushing heel of her father's shoe. Visible, too, was a bruised spot on her forehead where she had been struck. No one, it is said, will ever know the cruelty those two little girls hive suffered since their mother and father parted eight years ago. He would beat them on the slightest prevoca tion fancied.

The only defense of the father was bio allegation that the girls were hard to manage, that they had a, habit of going to the spring as an excuse to flip off from home. Wallace's indictment and arrest came the early part of the week, thp day after the distressing plight of little Margaret was called to the at tention nf Miss Eifort by her teacher, who in turn had been tofcl of the se vere whipping, by Margaret's cousin. It was on this occasion that the little girl had been whipped because the father thought she tarried on her way to the spring to get him a bucket of water Margayet said that she went strnight to the spring, but find ing the surface of the water covered with leaves, she was forced to pick them. out. She was engaged in this task when her father, enraged by the delay, came upon her with a hickory switch in his hand. Seizing her roughly by the hair, he is declared I to have literally blistered her bare legs. Then he led her screaming un der the terrific pain of sixty lashes to the house where he strung her up to a joist. He refused to give her dinner nor would lie grant her plea for water as she hung helplessly from the joist for several hours. F’or mistreating Margaret, Wallace received two years on the roads. In the other case, cruelty to his older daughter, he received one year, this sentence to commence at the time when the first expires. bluffs were called. The result is— an understanding.

I Raleigh, N: C., Oct. 31.—0P>—Good | rains are largely responsible for im- 1 proving crops in all sections of North ; Carolina, except those counties in the 1 southern Piedmont, from Rutherford [ to Richmond, says the fifth district Federal Reserve Bank, through its Monthly’ Review, released for publica- j tion in today's papers. In this southern piedmont section,! however, says the bank publication, I the drought of the summer has con tinued. the occasional rains that have fallen being insufficient to relieve the . situation. “In other sections." it says, “rain i Has put the soil in shape for flowing and seeding, and farm work for win- j ter crops is not expected to be much later than usual. The coastal farmers ■, report ideal weather for harvesting. A good crop of corn is in prospect, and yields are fair in spite of the drought, in Some cases being much better thau had been expected “Hay yields," continues the Review, “are very poor. Hays that should have matured during the summer wore practically a failure, but late hay crops have been much improved by recent rains. Yields from cultivated hay crops will barely average half of last year's yield. “Sweet potatoes are very good in the east, but very short thr ugh *hr western counties. Rains came too late to do this Trop much good. Some ; development may take place in the ’ very late crop, but the yield will fall far short of normal. “Prospects for peanuts are fair. The condition of fall gardens is much be-, low normal.” Turning to the tobacco crop the Re-! I view points out that tobacco in North I Carolina has been selling this year at ( approximately $2 per hundred pounds less than it did last year. The figures it quotes as averages being $17.40 for I September of this year, as compared with .$19.00 during Sen ember ot 1924. But it adds that “since Otto- 1 her 1 there has been some improvement 1 in price.” “Grades of tobacco,” says the Re view, “in September averaged from very poor to rntuinm, and the quality of the crop is generally be.ow earlier i , season expectations.” “Seventy-seven auction warehouses •ii North Carolina sold 1,000.329 pounds and 11,129,690 pounds, re spectively, while Enfield, with an av erage of .$19.41 per hundred pounds led in price paid. Indications are for a tota 1 production of 310.903,000 pounds this year, compared with 278,- 320,000 pounds grown in 1924. Turning to the textile industry, the Review asserts that: “Iji spite of re-1 strietions in running time forced on the mills using electric power by low water in the streams, textile mills in the Carolina; and Virginia wore more active in September than during eith er August this year or September last year. During the past month, North Carolina mills consumed 90,23.7 bales compared with 92,045 bates in Sep-. timber last year.” UNIFICATION YET UNDER MAJORITY Proposal Lacks 764 Votes in The South of The Necessary Three- Fourths.
