Doing His Best Wants Evidence of . . Violations of Law." To the Editor of The, Star. In your issue, oi September 14, on front "page appears an article on law enlorcement, which article is a direct thrust at me. I would not reply but id' the prominence given it, and the particular charge that the officers, meaning me, were "winking at crime1. This charge is a serious one and is without foundation in fact, and I cannot think thai the lady who wrote the article really meant to charge me with encouraging, coun selling and abetting and protecting criminals in me ccir..;.ission or crime. Yet this is the force of her charges. Since I have beert policeman here I havp tried, to enforce the laws with out tear or. favor and do my duty as best I can and refer those interested to the records in the recorder's office uhich will show that the fines col looted fronn arrest made by me are we than twice what they were in any two years previous to my ap- lointment as chief of police. Already in this month more than $1,200 have xbeen collected in fines from arrests which I have made, and I have as sisted the sheriff outside the corpor r te limit3 where and whenever I cr.:!d do so. As to violations of 'the speed law ir.il cut outs, etc.? I make arrests for such gross violations as come under r.v observation but I cannot be very v herc at the same time. If the good sister who wrote that article would a.-k other who want the automobile laws pnforced report those who vio- hte them to me and testify against them I could stop it, but it does not help any to complain in one breath and refuse to testify in the next one. I challenge her now to give me any information which she has of her own knowledge of the violation of any law, ?nd I will see to iff that such parties re brought before the court and let her testify against them, and I would like especially to have (he name of the man who offered the minor liquor. I do not thmk T am to Warns for the growth of the weed in, a few places in the streets. Perhans weeds did not grow n the street where this lndy has been for the rait twenty years, and if this town is half as bad as she seems to think it is. were I in lier place, I would go back where the weeds don't grow in the streets, I am not the spiritual adviser of the poor husband who has been drunk for two weeks, and if the author would make her suggestions direct to him doubtless he would be"&sham ed of himself. If she has plenty oi time to meddle in folks' affairs she might begin with "some of her un fortunate friends who persist in being drunk. I invite all people who believe in law enforcement to cooperate with me and the other officers, and reoort the violations to me, and I will do my duty in the oremises. At times people bring liquor in here and sell it and slip out without being oaucht. I have caught a few, hut un. assisted and alone I cannot apprehend tnem all, and there is no lawjto make man tell where he. got his liquor. I have had a number of traveling men o ten me that there was less drink ")e in Shelby than in any town they t. and that whiskey is harder to r nere. I here are always some'1)esimistp " every town, and others who are re. and fear that everything and everybody are going' tohe bow-wows 1 bt if they persist in taking it out on i want them to keep the fact straight.

Wonderful Corn Crop ) . -According to the cooperative crop reporting service, the condition ot 97 per cent of a full crop is indicative of ' about the best corn crop we have ' ever had. It is about 16 per cent bet ter than the ten-year average. The in- ' dications are for 62,464,000 bushel crop, this bting an increase of i cent in the last monthand about 14 per cent more than produced - last year., The average price reported is $2.19 compared with $1.97 a year ago. uooa wheat Yield. The wheat crop is harvested unA practically all threshed. . irivinv an average yield of toward eleven bush- , , els per acre, which Indicates a crop of something ov?r eight million bushels.

The prcent swflet.cotato outlook indicated by the 25 per cent of a full crop condition, which forecasts over .ten million bushels, which is about two per cent more than last year, bpt the commercial interest is growing. Due to continuel wet soil Conditions the keeping qualities of the potatoes may be inferior, although a dry fall -will correct this tendency. ' Hay Harvest Looks Good. The state has increased its hav nro- duction considerably during the last two or three years 'and this yearV average of 1.4 tons per acre witir high' quality is indicative of a good oat turn, or about one million , pounds forecasted production. Clover hay has yielded almost 1.5 tons or about 280 000 tons production for the state, this being the same as last year. Fine Pastures, . - , Livstock have done well this year;v due to the goo4 grass growing weath er, which hai saved the farmers much cost for feed. The present, condition of 95 per cent tells the same story.

The condition of 83 per cent of normal is the same for the state and' nation. Of the national crop of 38,880 000 bushels, North Carolina , grows about 11' per cent.
