Raleigh, Oct. 18.—Two ounces
of copper carbonate dust, to one
bushel of wheat, thoroughly
mixed so that each grain is cov

As William Bell, colored, was
driving along the Fayetteville
highway at the Russell McNeill
Place last Wednesday night, as
he was meeting a car, a Hudson
car occupied by three soldiers
from Fort Bragg struck his bug
gy from the rear, smashed the
buggy, killed the man in it and
so injured the horse, a good one,
that he died. The lights on the
car the soldiers were meeting so
blinded them that they never
saw the buggy until they hit it.
Dr. Brown summoned a jury
and held an inquest Thudsday
and they rendered a verdict ihat
it was an unayoidable accident'
Bell farmed for Mr. Ed. Mc
Nair, bad .been on the same farm
for 18 years,, dnd had the name
of being n good, honest, and in
dustrious man.

October 8th
^ Dear Editor;
Knowing your interest in the
Raeford boys who are in college,
lam voluntarily caking it upon
myself to send you the following:
Robert Covington, Davidson
(.* senior, gave an excellent account
of himself in the Davidson Elon
football game of October the 6th.
Covington was sent in as a sub
stitute at left half early in the
game. He played in jiarts of
three quarters. Carrying the
ball eight times, he gained more
'than ten yards on three occa
sions and on others made plunges
of from three to five yards, nev
er lositig ground. He also made
a successful drop-kick after a
V touchdown. All of his gains
were through the center of the
line.
I know the home folks will be
interested in this
With best wishes, I remain
Very truly yours,
BROWNE McQUEEN

times complaints have been
heard of poor management at

and an investigation by a grand
'jury brought things to a head.

Corn Cultivation Demonstration.
Ye editor acknowledges an in’
vitation to attend a meeting held
on the farm of J. D. Mason last
Wednesday, where corn cultiva’
tion and fertilization has been
demonstration this year under
the supervision of the State Agri
cultural Department, and last
Wednesday was gathering day
The editor was sorry he could
not be there.
But we are informed that this
was a bad season to demonstrate
good farming, the seasons were
too wet to succeed in farming
very successfully. The 5 acres
of coru on Mr. Mason’s farm
produced only 38 bushels per
acre, and we consider that good
for the season; however a hun
dred bushels per acre would have
been produced, perhaps, had the
seasons been favorable.

After a long arid^earing^ iMw

Mrs. J. W. Johnson passed away,
Tuesday morning at’6f?307feio0k
Although her death' had bieen

were scarcely less poignant. , j ,
Before marriage Mrs, Johnson
was a Mi^ Seawelf of Carthage^

this week, and conclude the story
next week. It’s a good one.
Mr. Neill Cole and family
have moved to Sanford, where
he holds a good position. We
hate for them to leave Raeford,
but we are glad they are doing
well.
It is now shown that Dixon
L. Poole, Jr , of Spartanburg, S.
C , who was shot by the watch
man, as Poole and other students
were attempting to raid the
State College apple orchard, was
not the first student to be shot
for the same offense.
J. A. Greer, of Greenwood, S
C., was shot as he attempted to
escape from The Robeson chain-
gang last Wednesday afternoon,
and he died in a Lumberton hos
pital Wednesdav night. Greer
was serving a Recorder’s court
sentence for larceny.
Mrs. Mary B. McLean o^’ Rae
ford, 85 years old, recently wrote
a paper on the ConfeJerate Cav
alry that won her a SlO prize
offered by the State Convention
of the U. D. C., which met in
Greensboro last week. The Jour
nal congratulates Mrs. McLean,
and adds that the prize was
meritoriouly won.
Neill Barnes, Register of Deeds
in Johnson county, and a candi
date for re-election, resigned,
effective Oct. 1st, which was
accepted. Leham Barnes, Deputy
Register of Deeds, was appoint
ed to fill the unexpired term,
but J. Dobbin Bailey was put in
Domination as the Democratic
nominee for election.
The News and Observer last
Friday morning says Cam Mor
rison made a powerful speech at
Laarinburg Thursday night, and
plead for a 10 per cent, vote for
Smith at the November election.
That was a typographical error
I overlooked by a proof reader, im
tended for a 100 per cent, votes
I but it shows how easy things get
I wrong in type.
It now appears that the Sher
iff has had no tax receipts for
1928 taxes, as the County Ac
countant had ordered them from
Edwards & Broughton of Ral
eigh, and they did not come
until Saturday, although Mr Me
Gougan says they had been order
d two months. Had the order
for tax receipts for this year
been given to The Jouinal the
receipts would have been here
ahead of the tax books, and the
bill for them would have been
long passed due, and Hoke Coun
ty would have saved lo per cent,
