An Egrjr Story Of A Wandering Hen Hen's Mind Must Have Been Wan dering When She Laid This One. Draws Flies Here is a story about an egg. Not a hard boiled egg. but an egg laid hy a Mooresboro hen, who had her mind on other things when she was engaged in the enterprise of I lav’ng the egg. There is an old story about two ! eggs. One was a good egg and got in an angel cake, and the other was a bad egg and got struck on an actor. You’ve probably heard ! thut. And then there's the story about j the hard boiled egg that young | Vanderbilt named his speed boat after, because he said it couldn’t be beaten. Hut this ogz wo arc* wriiinf*' about is different. It is a freak, i and shows how the state of n hen’s mind will react when she is laying an egg. The thing is the usual size of a Rhode Island Red egg, to which genus it belonjrs, being per haps n trifle larger than average. But it is covered HI over with a thick substance like brown su gar. The fact that it is a sweet coat ing. is attested by the fact that it draws flies. As this is being written, with the egg on the desk here, it is covered with an animated and apparently hungry bunch of flies. The texture of the shell is soft land flexible like that of n turtle egg. i All told it is a curiosity. It was i brought to The Star office by Mrs. W> W. Bridges, of Mooresboro, ; who is authority for the statement It hat one of her Rhode Island hen® laid it. Which brings us to the thought that maybe Mrs. Bridges would \ find it profitable to take that hen and set up a candy shop; or, if she keeps the bird until next Easter it may prove that hens lay golden eggs as well ns geese. At any rate if you are curious come in the Star office and see the unusual specimen. Clover Man Had Unique Experience (Yorkville Enquirer, 12th) C. N. Alexander, Clover mill man, returned to his home Wed nesday after a hurried trip to ! New England points. Discussing ' the situation in New York and 1 New England due to the Sacco. ! Vanzetti case in Massachusetts, I Mr. Alexander said that things jure very skittish in New York and j elsewhere in the north. He said that on many previous visits to the I metropolis he saw very few Doliee i men other than on street crossings, and not on many of these; but this ; week, following the bombings in ! the subway stations last Friday night, policemen are to be seen everywhere, and everyone of them seems to be keenly alive and on tiptoes. Over in Providence, R. I. he had some business with a com pany which builds cotton machin ery. Stopping off there he check ed his handbag, after taking out a small box of spindles and small j machine parts that he wanted to I get estimates on as to repairs. Carrying this small package un der his arm, he noticed that he was | very closely watched as he passed out of the station and also on the streets as he went toward the plant of the machine builders. It was a unique experience and not a very pleasant one, at that Mr. Alexander went on further to say that the south is the place for him. We jhave no foreign element to deal with and in fact that we have the jbest people in the world.

I WILLIS TRIAL TO ATTRACT CRQWOS TO COURT ROOM Greenville.—With the opening of the term of court at which it is expected that Mrs. Ethel Willis and Henry Townsend will be tried on a charge of murder in connec tion with the death of the for mer's husband on the night of June 11 only a few days ahead, in terest •« ii creasing in the case, not only in Greenville but also throughout the state and surround ing territory. Two international telegraph news services have already made arrangements to have representa tives at the trial is expected to make arrangements for accommo dations in the courtroom within the next few (lavs. Several news papers in the state are planning to have special representatives at the trial. Conferences with attorneys have been frequent during the past few days. Attorneys and witnesses ami interested parties have bpen going in and out of respective head quarters of both sides. Among the conferences was one this morning between Walter Willis, brother of the slain sheriff. Solicitor J. G. Leatherwond and Former Solici tor David W. Smoak. Can Seat But Few Only about 200 persons who have no connection with the trial will be able to see the trial as a result of the limited capacity of the court room. Judge M. L. Bonham, Depu ty Clerk of Court Frank Epps, Court Stenographer J. Frank An derson, jurors, attorneys, defen dants. newspaner men and membeis of the Greenville bar will be seated within the bar. It may be possible to seat some of the witnesses also within the bar. With VKO chairs on the main floor and 115 seats in the balconv, the capacity of the courtroom out side of the bar is 21)5. It. is ex pected that it will be necessary to reserve about 8/> seats outside of the bar for witnesses, in which ease only 200 persons not connect ed with the trial can be accommo dated. Willis Car Not Moved The clothes worn bv the sheriff at the time he was killed and the bidlets which caused his almost in stant death will he nresented as evidence in the trial, it was learn ed yesterday. The car which the late sheriff Sam D. Willis drove into his gar age near midnight just a few mo ments before he met his death has not been moved from the place where he stopped it. Killed Snake With Rifle After Night Daniel Tedder killed a snake. It was a small snake, and a harmless one, and if he had com mitted the act in davlieht th^re would be nothing to it. But he kill ed it at night, by flashlight, and so the episode is dignified as news. Tneidentally it nwv <hc remarked Tedder is very proud of the feat. He shot the reptile with a rifle. At night, now, mind you. he killed n snake With a rifle. Not having heard of Tedder’s being addicted to hootch the statement is taken at its face value. The snake was located in the back yard of the house about eight o’clock, which was long after sun down and be.-jie moon-up. Char lotte Tedder, Mr. Tedder’s daugh ter, held the flashlight and Tedder handles! the rifle. Somebody made the statement that sometime after eight o’clock Wednesday night, Tedder sent up -town for a hundred rounds of am munition, having shot away all there was on the premises. But you never can tell about these stories. Tedder says he killed the reptile the first shot.

HOEY, Trustee I COLORED PEOPLE GET OIL WEALTH A number of colored families; who went West about twenty years ago have “struck oil” and are con sequently enjoying good incomes, according to Rev. Burt Harbison, formerly Shelby citizen, who is here on a visit with friends. Preacher Burt who was one of Shelby’s most respected colored ciUzens before going to Seminole, j Oklahoma twenty years ago Has | been back on four different oc- j casions, but his wife is here for j 1 the first time since she left. About j the time the Harbisons went west, ; Uncle Perry Eaves, weighted down j with the snows of eighty winters upon his head, Forrest Anderson and Cicero Homesly planted them selves on fertile farms on Okla homa. All of them bought laifd in. the Seminole district which is the largest oil producing district in ith»t state just now. Forrest Anderson has a monthly income of. approximately ten thou sand dollurs, according to Preaeh ! c Harbison, This comes from his eighth interest in the rich liquid that flows from the wells on his 1,000 acre plantation. Companies have bored some ninety wells on the Anderson farm. Some are pro ducing 2,000 barrels a day; some are dry. But Anderson is inde pendently wealthy. “What does 1 Forrest do with his money ?” Har j bison was asked. “Why he is buy ' ing more farms,” came the reply Harbison has leased the oil J rights on his farm which seems to be in the heart of the newly dis ' covered district, but boring has 1 not started there yet. Oil pro j duction is so great, the n-iro •< low and very few new wells are being drilled at present. The tired families who went west from Shetbv took to cotton farming, but Harbison says very little atten tion is given to cotton now. Every body thinks and talks about oil. Seminole was a town with only a thousand population ten years ago. Now the oil boom haj brought it up to 10,000, and “she’s growing dav and night.” “I tried to get some of my wh;te friends in Shelbv to invest in that Oklahoma land” says Harbison, but they seemed scared of it. Har bison shows no disposition to brag or boast. He is as friendly and po lite as his white friends in Shelby remembered him twenty years ago when he preached and farmed over in Freedmon.
