Mrs. Patterson Badly Hurt When
Fire Truck Crashed
Coupe.
Charlotte, N ov, 25.—Tragedy
rode with Charlotte firemen short
ly before noor. today as they were
making a run to bidaleviilo, a ne
gro section, in answer to a call.
Mrs. Bessie Alexander Patterson,
58, well known throughout the
state, was perhaps fatally injured
when the small coupe she was driv
ing was struck by the speeding
truck at the intersection of Gra
ham and Trade streets, near tin'
heart of the city.
Several .irefnen were slightly in
jured a*id the fire truck was bad
ly damaged, when, after striking
the automobile, the truck careened
across the sidewalk and crashcitTin
to the C. f. ('(aldington automobile
building on the corner.
Mrs. Patterson is the wife of the
late Samuel A. Patterson, of Roa
noke Rapids, who was former pres
ident of the American Cotton Man
ufacturers’ association, and one of
the leading business men of the
state. She is a sister of Dr. -Charles
I, Alexander, prominent dentist of
this city. ^
Mrs. Patterson was sa;d to have
been driving about the city while
y altifig for her son, Francis Pat
terson, who was coming in on a
train from Providence, R. I. He
arrived in the city shortly after
the accident and went immediately
to the hospital where he identified
hfs mother. For some time after.
the accident officials were unable to
establish her identity, there -being
nothing on her person to indicate
her name.
Mr-. Patterson is a res= lent < f

However, she has been here for
duct's a nri.ve real estu • agency
some time and planned to spend
the winter with her sister, Mrs.
George Hanna, on West Tenth
street.
After an investigation this af*
ternoon Fire Chief Wallace said
that the accident was unavoidable.
He said the firemcti took the only
course open to thorn when the driv
er of the truck swerved his ma
chine in an effort to miss the auto
mobile and crashed into the Cod
dington building.
“A cod is a funny fish. When
you pul! him out of the water he

Old Man Refuses
Easy-Going Life
San Francisco—William King, a
hcnt old figure of 73, who was
mourned as lost in- an Alaskan
snowslide, 3G years ago, renewed
old acquaintances at a cheap lodg
ing house here today after having
refused to return to a life of lux
ury offered by his sister, Mrs. Les
lie Sutherland, society matron of
Yonkers, N. Y., who recently found
him in a pauper’s home here.
Karg moved to the lodging house
yesterday as his only concession to
a new found prosperity.. He refus
ed to return to New York because
of the cold weather, and refused
to move anywhere except to that
particular lodging house because
the others were “to ritzy for mo
and I’m not used to it.”
Years ago Karg ran away from
Fordham, N. Y„ where he wV at
tending St. John’s university, to
join the army. The reunion with his
sister was brought about through a
brother of the two to whom Wil
liam wrote when in needy circum
stances. The brother died several
years ago, but his secret as to the
whereabouts of William lived, with
the result that Mrs. Sutherland re
cently learned it.
“Maybe I’ll go back next April,
but not now," Karg told his sister.
She returned home yesterday. Karg
is known here as Edward P. Karri
son.

Average Yield Per Acre This Year
180 Pounds. Hulls Home Pars
er. Picking C'oi$t $1.02.
Raleigh, Nov. 22.~lf the gov
ernment, had last summer estimated
the present forecasted l,2t!O,0oO
bales of cotton expected this year
in North Carolina, anti if the l nit
etl States crop had been estimated
at 18,3911,000 bales, which now
seems probable, congress would
have been culled it, special session
and the cotton crop reporting work
might have been severely criticized.
This big crop is not so much dec
to increased acreage over hist year
as it is to the high yield per acre
brought about by favorable cott< u
growing and harvesting weather
prevailing from Virginia to Cali
fornia. Already the ginnings have
reached 803,117 bales in North
Carolina and almost 13,000,000
bales for the country at large.
Instead of taking 1,000,000 bales
off the market and reducing the
acreage one-fourth next year, i.
looks like the reach will need to be
greater if the price is to be im
proved much during the next sea
son. The average yield per acre this
year is estimated at 180 pounds of
lint which is 20 pounds heavier
than last season when such a big
crop was made. The North Carolina
yield is now estimated at. 300
pounds and is 36 pounds per acre
higher than last year, while the
acreage is about the same as for
the preceding season. Incidentally,
this state’s per acre yield is about
double that of Texas and i-yimo-i.
three times the yield Texas made
last year.
The condition reported as of No
vember 11th was 70 per cent for
North Carolina; the per cent pick
ed at 75 and the percent ginned rt
05 per cent of the expected crop.
The size of the bolls are appreci
ably larger than a year ago and the
$1.02 average per hundred pounds
of seed cotton for picking is about
the same as last year’s price, while
the price of lint is almost half of
that of last season.
While a few told snaps have oc
curred in this state, the weather
in general has been favorable for
the harvesting of the lint aral there
has been a minimum weather dam
age to the lint exposed in the fields.
It is probable that quite a consid
erable amount of the cotton will
not be picked after it becomes dam
aged in the fields. Much now re
mains unpicked.

Shipping Turkeys.
<
Lincoln county turkeys will
adorn many a Northern banquet
table during the Thanksgiving sea
son, says the News,
One of the largest shipments of
turkeys and poultry ever made
from Lincoln county, 6,450 pounds
to he exact, was made Tuesday of
this week. The entire shipment was
mostly turkeys with a few chick
ens, and placed S1.00I1.5I into the
hands of the farmers who made
the shipment.
The Lincoln county farmers who
are shipping turkeys and chickens
are not Worried much about the
low price of cotton. Cleveland cour
ty is also shipping carloads of
poultry to Northern markets.
When we get to loading a car of
poultry and eggs every month or
so in Cast on county and hauling
in milk from the r.mns to our
creamery, we, too, shall be able to
forget about, the price of cotton.—
