Two Tennesseeans were convicted
by a Madison County Superior Court
joiry last Thursday of the five-year-old
murder of Pritchnrd Shelton.
Buck Tarlton and Van Metcalf,
both of , Camp Creek, Tenn., were
sentenced to 25-30 years each in
State Prison following their convic
tion on charges of murder in the
second degree.
Sentence was pronounced by Judge
J. Prank Huskins who set appear
ance bond at $15,000 each for the
two defendants - who gave notice of
oppeal to the State Supreme Court.
The jury deliberated 45 minutes
before returning its verdict.
The decomposed bodies of Shelton,
Bb, and his wile, ueorgia, 38, were
found outside the couple's secluded
shack in the Shelton Laurel section
n July, 1950.
District Solicitor Robert S. Swain
did not request judgment on anoth
er indictment charging Tarlton and
Metcalf with the murder of Mrs.
Shelton. Consequently, the pair may
stall face trial on the latter charge.
Both men denied the charges
against them. Tarlton did not take
the stand during the trial, his at
torneys contending that he was -cutting
wood on July 12, I960, the date

Faifmers throughout the county
are burdened by some acreage which
returns them nothing. This acre
age is on the deed and on the tax
books. Some of it was in cropland
a few years ago but it was not very
productive or was so hard to culti
vate because of rock, its steepness,
or the location that it was left idle.
Some 'time trees will again cover it.
The volunteer trees may be pitch
pine, black gum, scrub oak, or some
other worthless species. Years pass
while this land produces nothing, the
owner grows older, another genera
tion grows up and most of them
leave the country for greater op
portunities in town or some more
progressive area.
Here in Madison County we have
i maior resources land and people.
For the land to be valuable the peo- i.Qg

are wasted resources. Wasted re
sources do not develop wealth, they
do not include industrial develop-
ment, they do not comw w
health, education and prosperous de
velopment. Most of our acres which once pro
duced crops or upland pasture, but
have now been abandoned, were, left
idle because they were not paying
their keep by Buoh use. These acres
