Twelve Months In The Pen.
Ed Riley, alias Elijah Wagoner,
who was captured at a" blockade,
still by Deputy. Marshall vMorrisT
was tried before the Federal Court
in Raleigh last, week, convicted
and sentenced to twelve months
in the penitentiary at Atlanta, .r :
It is reported on the, streets
that, by the terms of his contract
with the real owners of the outfit,
he will draw a salary of $2 a day
while in the pen. While at work
he received one dollars .day, but
if captured and he did net squeal
he would receive two dollars while
in jail or the penitentiary. We
can not vouch for this but such is
street talk, and doubtless is the
reason these workers never belch
on the real owners.

likely to ' be. nominated, but we
could not do it. Honestly, we
have not heard a single name
mentioned, ;and still the - election
is only five months off.

summer at some fashionable sum
mer resort that they get off early,

enough at home upon your return
to rest up and recuperate to be
ready for the fall business.

Dry Weather arid Crops.

Folks who keep up with the
weather and the rainfall say that
the spring of 1911 was very much
like this spring and we made
cotton plenty that 'year. In this
section cotton did not come up on
account of the drouth until a raiu
fell on June 7th. Then it Chme
up in a jump and folks had to
hustle to get it chopped." Mon
