-1 tie Conspiracy.'*
“I can’t seo that the result of the
public trial today has left me any
thing to say in addition,” Stoddard
said in a statement after the trial.
“The evidence of Chief Beavers him
self disclosed the details of the miser
able conspiracy which is back of this
while prose :utim. The court’s judg
ment comnlereiy cleared Mrs Ca .Jler,
Mr. I^eei'ng and myself of even any
Suspicion of misconduct of any kind
whatever. ’
Thhe police chief testified that “less
than a month ago” before the raid a
complaint came f»om the aged million
aire, Asa C. C.mdiei. Sr. On cross-ex
amination he testified that Foirrst
Adair, well known realtor, asked him
to take personal ehrrfe of the rail
“The chief has testified,’ defense
counsel told the court, “that Mr. Cand
ler made this complaint to him. We
have let that go in as evidence, al
though it was hearsay. And, now we
have the right to know who asked the
chief to make this arrest in person.”
- Was Forrest Adair.
.“Well,” Chief Beavers replied, “it
was Mr. Forrest Adair, whom I knew
to he <a confidential adviser of Mr.
Candler. I will tell it all. Mr. Adair
culled me and said that I would get a
[ telephone call and I would hear the
name ‘Howell’ and that when I heard
that name 1 would know that they
were in an apartment together I was
to investigate and make the arrest.”
The chief also testified that Mrs.
Candler had been "shadowed” by
Thomas H. Pitt, an employe of Adair

F demanded that she be treated “like the
rest of them.”

no witnesses were put up in their be
half.
Police Captain A. J. Holcombe, who
assisted in the raid, testified that he
had been unable to locate “Mrs. Kib
Icr, the landlady of the apartment.

Itaia water is ideal for use in auto

of the scale-forming chemicals and salts
present in well and hydrant water. Two
convenient methods of storing rain water
in readiness for use are shown in the draw

the "arage. at a height that will permit
the water to flow into the radiator. A

A. short, length of pipe, fitted,with a valve,
is fitted through the side near the bottom
and a length of rubber hose is attached as
shown. An overflow pipe is also provided.
In garages where there is not enough
space to permit *he installation described

Drying Clothes in Cold Weather
During cold weather clothes hung out
on the line tr, dry become stiff, due to the
frozen moisture in them, and in attempt
ing to remove them they are frequently
tom at the comers. This danger can be
eliminated by hanging the clothes ot
wire coat-hangers of tlie kind o^ed ex
(■ naively by cleaners. The clotiiha ar>
hung on the hungers, which are hong ot
the line. To keep them separated evenly
a number of old yardsticks or laths an
used, hcles being drilled in them abotl
3 in. apart, and the hooks of the, hanger
passed t hrouph the holes before they ai
hung on the line. The clothes arc hrough
in on the hangers and allowed to thaw on
Ixtfore taken off. This method al - obvi

Don’t Think the Cold
Weather Killed ’em All
North Carolina Cotton Grower.
We hear that the cold weather of
‘he pkst few weeks has killed all the
boll weevil and that we can therefore
raise a big crop of cotton without hin
drance from that pest. Don’t fool your
self! There may be more truth than
fiction in the story that went the
rounds of the cotton belt some time
ago. A South Carolina farmer decid
ed to find out just how much heat and
-old the boll weevil could stand. He
oaught one and froze it in a cake of
'ce, left it twenty-four hours, thaw
'd the ice from around the weevil
and the bug proceeded to stretch his
'vings and walk off.
The farmer caught him again and
out him under a pan on the top of
the cook stove. He built a fire in the
stove. Presently the top of the stove
?ot red hot. Then the pan got red hot
and finally the weevil got red hot.
The farmer lifted the pan to see how
the experiment was coming along and
’he weevil flew out the window and
aet fire to the barn. Don’t plant a big
'■otton cron on the supposition that
the weevil has been frozen out. May
be he has. but again maybe he has
not. And remember that there is more
nrofit in a small crop sold at a rea
sonably high price than in a big crop
sold at an dbsurdly low price.

A Tail-less Calf.
Hickory Record.
Mr. Lewis R. Fry of West Hickory
reports that he has on his farm a calf
about two weeks old that is quite a
curiosity, ss it has no tail. In every
other wav the calf is well developed
and is doing well, just minus a tail
from its birth. Mr. Fry says over
100 people visited his farm to see this
strange animal, and they all agree
with him that .thev have never seen
aqvthing like it before. I suppose that
all agree this is a freak of nature

0. (i. Wilson, president of the Vir

were named receivers of the company
in a creditors’ suit filed in the United

The company has requested its
bankers to formulate a plan of read

receivers will carry out all sales con

The receivership was foreshadowed
by a collapse in the prices of the com

Dairying is Much to
Advantage of South
The Manufacturers Record says:
*• The advantages of the South for
dairying, and the value of auch an in
dustry for the South were probably
cever before so clearly presented as in
the article in this issue by Craddock
Goins of Milwaukee. The South has
greater advantages for dairying than
any other part of the United States
^nd nowhere else is there greater need
for the development of this industry
than the South.
’ One of Mr. Goins’ striking sentenc.es
worthy to be iterated and reiterated
throughout the South is that “where
the dairy cow enters poverty departs.’’
In many parts of the South dairy
ing on a large scale has long been an
important and.profitable industry but
Ithere are considerable arears, especial
ly in the cotton regions, where dairy
ing has been very backward. Southern
i bankers and business men generally
n these regions can aid the farmers
in developing this industry by moral
and financial co-operation.
And Craddock Goins is quoted as
follows:
“Where the dairy cow enters, pove»
ty departs.”
“The South is naturally favored for
the upbuilding of a great farm pros
perity through dairying.”
Even though these are ticklish tim
es for the politicians very few of them,
seem to be tickled. ,
