Auotlier point the defendants stress
ed was that the officers, all being
strangers, aid not know them by
name, wluch was of course true; yet
tney arrested them in the illegal act,
. and oi course the jury knew it was
not necessary to know names. It
was only necessary to see the indivld
uai in his Illegal occupation, which ~
v -euustituted the. crime.
'lne court sentenced each of the of
fenders to from 6 to 15 days in jail,
except M. M. James, who had sick
ness in' his family, and each defend
ant was required to pay a fine rang
• iiig from SSO to $l5O, the aggregate
amount of the fines amounting to
SI,OOO, besides the costs of the trial.
The jail sentences totaled 110 days in
jail.
The" court might,, have made road
sentences against each defendant, but
considered that it would operate a
gainst their farming operations. He.
thought the costs, fines, and humilfty
of jail sentences from 6 to 15 days
would have as much moral evTect as
longer road sentences.

APPRECIATES ARTICLES ON THE
FARMERS PROBLEMS
Editor of the Enterprise:
1 have recently read with interest,
and 1 believe with profit, an article
by J. L. Holliday, now farm demon
stration agent for the Phillips Fer
tiliser Co., of Washington, and for
merly farm agept for Martin County.
The article points out the value of
lime to all crops and especially for
tobacco.
Much has been said against the fel
iow who tells others how to farm, yet
I am willing to admit that about the
only success 1 have had is when 1
loUowed the advice of others who
knew better than I. I have been
farming for many years and madt
very little success. 1 know if I had
what I have lost through ignoranc*
since 1 have been farming I would be
able to live In my old age without
so much hard labor.
