Mr, B. P. Sprinkle is spending some time In Jacksonville, Fla. MR. GR-EN ON THE. HIGH COST OF LIVING. J. Z. Green, of Union county, State organizer of the Farmers Union, says: "The high cost of distribution tg largely responsible for the high cost of living. In the larger cities the high speculative value :f property, especially real estate, has an important .bearing upon Che 20st ot distribution. The shop-keepers must first . charge up to consumers cost of house rents, and the price of rents mmst be high in proportion to excessive specultive land values. "The delivery service that is main tained by grocers in response to a demand for such service by the con sumers is very expensive. It Is mighty convenient to stand at your 'phone and order 20 cents worth of groceries seut out to your city homes, but that kind of service :osts money and it must be charged up to consumers. The system of city de livery is indeed costly and some practical people go so far as to call tt extravagant. In; maintinlng the delivery system the grocers are not to be justly censured. They are .only meeting the demlands made upon them iby consumfers, . and if the sys tem is extravagant the folks are responsible for it. "It is true that in our distributing system there is inexcusable duplica tion of service. In the multplicity of distributing agents there is duplica tion of house rents, duplication of clerk hire, duplication of salaries, and with it all an uneconomic multi plicity of delivery wagons. Distribu ting agents are not getting: rich. Some of them are hardly making ends meet. But wtoat is the reason? There are too many of them. Combi nation, consolidation, and elimination of unnecessary duplication of service would be a fine .thing for consumers. "After all, w niuat admit that it tsn't quite so truch the high cost of living as it is the cost of high llv Ilnig, or rather th cost of a higher standard of living, that is making it self when we fort, up our expenses of living. "The arnwr Isn't resjiontihle for It. Mr. Yoakum th well known railroad n.un of .tin West, says one hundred tnouttijd car loads, of food products rot in t ie fields of the "United States e vry tar for want of profitable markt'tiMf. I was told lait year up in Mitchell county that a million bushels of apples would rot in the orchards of that county because the farmters could not get (prices that would pay them for gathering them1. In the Eastern part! of the State the other day I learned that Irish potatoes were being sold by farmers at 75 cents a bushel and in towns in the same vi cinity, Irish potatoes were being sold to consumers by retailers at SO cents a peck, or at the rate of two dollars and ninety cents a barrel. "This problem of a more direct and economic system of distribution is the one vital question that the Farmers' Union is most interested in and it is a problem that consum ers in twns and cities should be eon corned about. "I am frank to say that while we are evolving our plans for co-operative selling associations, consumers In towns and cities would not go wrong in attemuting to form.1 their co-operative distributing associa tions, to form the connecting link. If co-operation is a good economic principle for the farmers it has equally as good economic value for consumers in the cities if they will apply the principle. "While town and city people have raised their standard! of living the country people have kepjt pretty good pace. The cost of living in the country has kept pace with the ru ral life, and we have nobody but ourselves i blame. If we set our standards -high we. must. pay the costs. But after all I believe there are many useless extravagances and wastes, both in town and " rsountry, that might he eliminated in the in terest of economy, and at the same time not interfere with our progress and enjoyment of the best things In life." v,Alfred Hunter Roberts, the negro who was wounded in a pistol duel by Officer Mitchell in the Reldsvllle Grocery Co., several weeks ago, was given a hearing on'" -'va separate charges by Recorder Humphreys and on two charges of housebreaking he was bound over to the Superior court in bonds of five hundred dol lars each. For assault with deadly weapon he was given six months on the county roads. Also for assault with a deadly weapon on Mr. Frvin he was given the same sentence ftnd for resisting officers he was sen tenced to six months on the roads. Mr. John B.

SCOn USED DECEIT But His Wives Discovered His Duplicity. . It seems that a.nunnber of the statements that have been given out for publication by T. J. Scott, who i)'a under arrest in Danville on the dharge of ibigamy, have been far from the true conditions of affairs as they are said to have existed 'n Georgia. In one of the first state ments niade by Scott in the - pre sence of a newspaper representa tive, Jf a said be was born in Con necticut and had been traveling Iflor a St. Louis firm for ten years. The following stattraent of his wtffe No. 1 will better epxlaki the true condition of affairs as they are known to exist In Georgia: ' "Scott was born and reared in or near P , S. 'C and came to Li- thtonia in 1903. We were married on May 21, 1905. Scott was a tool slhjarpener iby trade and followed that tnade for twto years after, we were inarried. He has been traveling out of St. Louis for the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Company for the past year and was with the Buster-Brown Company for two years before going with the Ilamtilton-Brown Company last Jan uary, 1913. He has made an average of sending one about twenty dollars per month since January, 1913." The above statement was made b" the woman wiom; Scott deserted for Mrs. Chandler, wflio is now In Relds vllle at the Hotel Rockingham. 'Early In September Mrs. Scott had reason to suspect the double role I her husband was playing and1 wrote hjm to that effect, and under the date of Septetmlber 14th, he wrote her from Burlington, N. C. In this let ter) hei made the following state ment: "As to ime having another 'wife this ia a He and can be pro ven." He further Bald that there was another iman by the same name and initials traveling for the same house and that the two Scotts were frequently confused. In this et ter he promised to send some mon ey to his wife in Georgia thfl last of that week. Upon receipt of this letter from her husibarfd Mrs Scott No 1 wrote J bo Mrs. Scott o. 2 and the reply is published in full. " -"Your letter of the fifteenth re ceived this morning i id It certaini' wais a surprise to me. My husband travels for a St. Louia shoe houdO. We were married in Chattanooga, Tenn. I would come down to see I'ou about : thte mattei , but I am I expecting a baby in tvo months and, 'as you know, I am in no condition to travel. There are sd many Sc'otts llet us hope and pray there is some I mistake about this, although It looks ! mighty suspicious If you will send Ime your husband's picture I will I answer at once whether or not it is jthe man I married. As my husband opens my mail please address your inext letter to Mrs. C. S. Reams, I care Hotel Dan. then I will be 1 sure to get it. Please send the pic iture at once, as you can imagine i how anxious I am." : " Scott Is still In jail in Danvlllo, and at this time there is no as suranee that he will be able to fur- Indsfo. the bond of two thousand flol liars that has been required. Mrs. I Scott, who lives in Lithonia, Ga., instituted a suit for divorce wlthi alimony, and the notice has been served on Scott. . Scott told the lawyer tliat he knew he had done wrong, but that he Intended to support his young children in Georgia. It hi stated thai so far as was known in the Georgia ci'y in which Scott and his first wife lived that they were hap pily married people and that they had the respect of the entpire com munity. The little son of Mrs. Scott No. 2 Is in Danville now and is attending school.. The Royal Month and the Royal Dl- .-. :. sease. ... Sudden changes of weather are Specially trying, and probacy to none m.ore so than to the scrofulous and consumtlye. The progress ' of scrofula during a nornitfl October Is commonly great. We never think of scrofula its bunches, , cutaneous eruptions, and wasting of the bodily substance without thinking of the great good many sufferers from! It bave derived . from Hood's Sarsapa rilla. whose radical and permanent cures of this one disease are Tvmis'li' tA ltinke it the most fa mous nwidicine in the world. There Is probably not a city or town where Hood's Sarsaparilla has not broved its merit in more homes Hirm ono. .In arreKtins: f.nd pletely eradicating scrofula, is almost as serious and as much to be feared as Its near relative, con sumption. ' SCriMIDT IS FRENZIED But District Attorney Whit man Says He's Sane. Hans( Scbmtdt, the priest ho murdered Anna Aumuller, became frenzied at the colon er's Inquest in to the dath of his victim, rose from his seat, snatched from his neck tljo rosary he had worn ever since his Incarceration, tore it Into many bits, and hurled them at newspaper re porters sitting half a dozen steps away. ' . The juiT found him responsible tori the girl's death. District Attorney Whitman 9x pressed the positive conviction that Schmidt is sane and consequently will be placed on trial for the mur der of Anna Aumuller, whom Schmidt killed as slhia slept, dismemibered and sank in the Hudson, river Sep tember 2nd. Mtr. Whitman's opinion, it is un derstood, is based on the finding reached by four alienists who have examined Schmidt in "the Tombs at Whltmlan's behest. Their formal re port will be made in a few days. Coroner Teinberg emipannelled hia Jury of millionaires and began an Inquest into the slain girl's death. Only tlhree portions of the body, jp per and lower parts of the torso and leg, have been recovered from the river. These were viewed by the Jury. Schmidt's outburst of temper oc curred tn1 the presence of the jury of millionaires empannelled to con duct the inquest. The verdict was quickly found. It was: "We, the Jury, believe Anna Aumuller came to her death September 2, 1913, at 68 Bradhurst Avenue, A the hands of Hans Schmidt." Schmidt immediately was remand to to the Tombs to await the action of the grand jury. Great crowds were at the building where the hearing was held, but comjparatively few persons were ad mitted. A number of seats were obtained by women. MR. BURTON TO MANUFACTURE TOBACCO IN MOTLEY'S PLANT. The recent sale of Motley's fac tory and considerable real estate lias-been -confirmed, and Air. J. II.
