GREAT INVENTION
IS POPULAR HERE
Another contribution of science
?which is being heralded as roost
"beneficial not only from nn economic
standpoint, but as a life-saver, is
a V5ry dependable means of prevent
ing serious fire at any time. This
invention is known as Shur-Stop.
the Automatic Fireman. Like most
great inventions, Shur-Stop is ex
tremely simple. At approximately
*30 F. Shur-Stop operates and re
leases its liquid, which expands to
1000 times its volume under the
influence of heat. The vapor thus
created is deadly to fire. Nothing
to fail or jam in a crisis. If you
are present when the fire starts, just
seize the Shur-Stop bulb and throw
it on the fire. If vou are absent or
?s'.eep, and your house is equipped
?w'th these fire extinguishing bulbs,
you need have no fears of a destruc
i lire. Under the protection of
Shur-Stop bulbs it is claimed, and
oynerienee has demonstrated, that
sin.' fire, originating from within.
wi!i automatically, be checked and
put out in its incipiency.
It is endorsed and approved by
juv chiefs and fire marshals in all
>'.? :t:<ins of the United States and
< '!?>. anil in a recent issue of The
l;\ va: i! News was an endorsement
I: nur own fire chief. Mr. J. S.
J'.r '??afield.
The News understands that a Bre
vur.-i firm has plans well under way
fur the establishment of a wholesale
warehouse here from which the Shur
St.oii products will be distributed
i.i?r a wide territory.

:1W OSGANiZA'fiON
Raleigh. Dec. 21. ? While farmer,
f Xi?i'th Carolina, admit that- a state'
v.i'.le fit nn organization built by -tin
?ousohdation of community ant
.county organizations will be greatly
beneficial, they are doubtful as t<
the financial support that will be
accowk-ci such an organization.
This is the general opinion of civ.
12-5 extension workers who uphove. I
.?it State College last week for their
annual conference and school. The
county agents especially appeared
reluctant to commit the farmers with
u'hem they work to this organization,
?>o:r,e. of the agents had the spectov
tf the late lamented tobacco associa
tion before them when they reported
lhat they would not want to be per
sonally responsible for the success of
the organization in their counties.
This view of the agents was up
held by the results of a survey made
of leading farmers. Replies were re
ceived from 823 men who had been
or.ixtioned by the extension service.
Most of these replies indicated a
(iced of the proposed organization
stated that the signers would
join the organization and that it
would be supported in their home
communities, but, there was a rather
sharp division when the question of
dues and financial support was ans
wered.
In discussing the matter before the
agents, Dean I. 0. Schaub, in charge
of agricultural extension work, stat
ed that the agents could not be per
mitted, under the law, to go out and
perfect such a proposed organization
of farmers. The agents can assist
the farmers to do their own organ
"ing and may heljj to get the move
mcnt started but the actual organiz
atiori must be done by the farmers
themselves.
This question of farm organiza
tion was one of the principal matters
coming before the county agents in
rheir joint conferences. Much time
was devoted to a study of all exist
ing national organizations.

KING AND WH1TMIRE I
! FAY MOST DEARLY
i
Poke King and Erskine Whitmire, j
young men of the east' section of the
county, were found guilty in court
last week on charges growing out of
an automobile ride in which liquor i
: played a part in connection with two
i young girl companions, both of whom
jwere under of age. Charges upon!
! which the young men were convicted
I were confined to the whiskey part of
the ride, they having come clear in a
previous trial upon charges in con
nection with the girls.
King was given 12 months and
Whitiriire drew a suspended sentence
of nine months, a fine of $250 and
one-half the costs, the nine months
i sentence to take effect unless the
fine was paid and the defendant
continues to show good behavior.
An unusually strong fight was
waged by the attorneys for the de
fense, and after the jury had return
! ed a verdict of guilty with recom
mendation of mercy, attorneys made
; desperate effort to have light fines
imposed.- Judge Moore held the of
i fenso too grave, and would not be
swayed by the earnest appeal of at
torneys. Special effort was made for
young Whitmire, who is only eigh
j teen years tff age and a member of a
good family.
Judge Moore expressed Ms admir
ation for the jury in returning its
' verdict of guilty, but stated his dis
. appointment that the mercy of the
! couit had been embraced in the vcr
J diet.
i ALLEN CONVICTED
! OH BIGAMY CHARGE
i
R. A. Allen, tried here last week
. on the charge of bigamy, was given
. a fine of $.r>00 by Judge Walter K.
Moore. It was brought out that
" Allen had made a practice of going
from place to placc, courting young
T girls, marrying them, and leaving
; them to their fates.
Allen married a popular Brevard
girl sometime ago. and since that
time, it was proven, had married an
oiher girl in Florida. Previous to
h's marriage to the Krevard girl,
young Allen had married another
woman, it was brought out.
Apropos of attractive and artis
