Cotton Farmers In South Turn
> To Grain, Poultry and Peanuts
By International News Service.
Atlanta. May 26. —Up to a few years
v ago, Cotton was king in the South
and millions of people depended upon
it for their livelihood
But dreadful experiences such as
cotton going down to ten cents a
pound when It costs more than 15 to
grow it has convinced a great many
farmers that they cannot rely upon
it exclusively and still rear their fam
ilies with some degree of comfort.
Thousands of farmers are diver
sifying this year more than ever.
They are growing wheat, grain, oats
0 and poultry, in addition to a variety
of vegetables. .Some have found pecan I
and peanut growing very profitable,
especially the latter.
ji*/ To Grow Peanuts.
For instance, farmers learned they
can grow a crop of peanuts that
will bring twice the amount of money
that cottqn will. The peanut crop
besides being one that ie in great de
mand and. one that brings a good
price, is an easy one to grow. Almost
any good cotton land wKt produce a
good crop. The preparation of the
soil requires little care and the gath
ering is easy, the peanuts being pulled
up in hunches.

Thousands of Yale Alumni to Aid
In Dedicating World War Memorial
By R. T. BI I.KKI.EY
(International News Service Staff
Correspondent)
New Haven. Conn., May 26.
Yale's memorial to her dead in the
World War, now being hurried to
completion, will be dedicated with im:
posing ceremonies in June when thou
• sands of alumni are gathered for re
unions here, and will form a central
point in the new Yale plant that is
going up about the old campus.
A blank wall extending hundreds
of feet along the south side of the
huge Y'ale dining hall was adopted as
the background for the memorial.
Along this wall have been set pilas
ters terminating in caps that bear
the names of spots in France where
Yale men gave their lives. Along the
foot of this blank wall has run a
wide stone terrace with steps leading
up, and at intervals along the wall
are doors leading into the vast hall.
The men who designed the dining hall,
back in 1001, seem to have had such
, a memorial in mind. They furnished
a perfect setting.
. Altar at liberty ,
Directly In the Center of the plat
form is rising an Altar of Liberty,
now encased in canvas. The inscrip-;
tion on the altar, and the author of
that inscription are not to be known '
hntil the day of dedication. But
Yale men look to the noted Professor
Lyon Phelps to furnish that Inscrip
tion.
Grub street, of officially Blount,
avenue after a noted English bene
factor of Yale, runs from Elm street j
to the dining hall. The last section,
from Wall street into the bill, is
being converted into a sunken garden,

the Spanish war and the Philippine
insurreetion which is in the same plot.
The new war memorial lies within
the angle formed by the dining hall
and Woolsey Hall. Those two build
ings already are connected by Memo

of the Yale men who died in the Civil
war.

When the ultimate plan is consum
mated an archway will have been cut
through Durfee Hall, where Yale
sports tickets are on sale. Then
the passerby on Chapel street may
look into the archway in Vanderbilt
Hall straight across a tree lined vita
to the new war memorial. This plan
is being carried out little by little,
as vast, new buildings arise, and years
must elapse before the scheme is com
pleted. In fact, the architects’ per
spective showing this view is labelled
“Yale One Hundred Years Hence.”
But the war memorial will be done

Girl. Completing Testimony. Involves
Six Directly, Several Indirectly.
Hickory, May 24.—After pretty
Margaret Jane Carpenter, 20-year-old
prosecutrix in the. abortion case
against prominent Charlotte and Hick
ory men, finished her 10 hour examin
ation at 4:15 o'clock here this after
noon before Judge W. B. Council, in
recorder’s court, she had involved six
men directly and several others indir
ectly. Court adjourned at 6 o'clock
this afternoon after the defense had
put two witnesses on the stand.
The preliminary hearing will likely
last air tomorrow and perhaps longer.
The battery of 17 attorneys is fight
ing a desperate battle.
Ev ; donce developed from Miss Car
penter’s cross-examinations today by,
counsel for the IV. F. Fo
gle, money broker, of . Hickory, and
Dr. Charles L. Hunsucker, prominent
physician, took several new turns.
Besides admitting an illegal oi>eration
on April 4 of last year, which was not
connected with' the alleged one now
under investigation, she admitted un
der cross-examination that she had
accepted money.
“What was the difference of this
4rom the other case?” asked W. A.
Self, counsel for Dr. Hunsucker in
regard to the previous illegal opera
tion which she had admitted.
‘‘The other was fixed up without
going to court;” she replied.
■ “What did it cost them to fix it?”
asked Mr. Self.
“I am not going to -say.”
“They paid up before any suit was
started?”
“They certainly did, and these fel
lows would not come across.”
“That is the very thing I am asking
you : Why didn’t you fellows
a chance like you did the others?”
"Because they had caused me so
much more trouble than the other
one had.”
."You didn’t get $40,000 for the
other one, did you? (that was the
amount asked in the civil action which
was brought prior to the criminal
cause.)
“I didn’t say I got $40,000, but I
got some, all right.”
“Was your misfortune that time the
' first of that kind you had ever had?”
1 “Absolutely.”
1 On redirect examination by L. A.
1 Whiteiier, counsel for the private
' prosecution, she testified that W. L.
i Massey, of Asheville, had paid her
1 sllO “to get fixed up.”
| Defense counsel were making a ter
i rifle attack on the /character of the
1 witness today and were attempting to
| break down her credibility as a wit
i ness. After the state closed its testi

beneath the weight after 100 years'
