The tragedv occurred yesterday
morning early at the Tate home but
Is at yet somewhat mysterious, al
though a four-year-old child near
by declared Tate did the shooting.
The father suffering from tubercu
losis and said to be off mentally at
times says that he was In the yard
when he heard something resem
bling an explosion and dashed in to
find his two little girls wounded.
This statement coincides with the
theory that they might have been
playing with a dynamite cap which
exploded. Still another theory is
that some passerby might have shot
into the house. However three load
ed pistols were found in a trunk in
the house, and Tate had been seen
with a pistol on the preceding day.
Both little girls were wounded
about the fact and Mildred suffer

about the a* ms. Marjorie also may
lose an eye. For a while Mildred's
life was despaired of, but later in
the day it w\*s stated at the Ruth

chance to recover.

| County To Get Farm
Agent Free Of Cost
During Fair Period
Assistant \Rcnf raid By State To
Come To County "For
Trial.
Cleveland county is to have a farm
agent, minus any county expense, to
help complete , the farm contests
started this fall and to assist in the
very important work of arranging
farm exhibits for the big county
fair next month.
This was anounccd today by A. E.
Cline, county business manager, as
the latest development in the farm
agent matter which is attracting
county-wide attention.
Following the failure of the coun
ty and stats extension department
to reach an agreement on a new
farm agent to succeed Alvin Har
c'in, resigned, Director I. O. Schaub,
head of the state farm extension
bureau, was informed what an im
portant role (he farm agent must
play in arranging for the fair. He,
too, was informed that numerous
contests had been started among
the farmers of the county in the
spring and that they might fall
through unless there be someone to
supervise them.
Considered Fair.
Mr. Scha.ib’s reply, considered by
the county farm board as an un
usually fair proposition, was that
there are several counties near
Cleveland which not only have reg
ular farm agents but also assist
ant agents, which are paid by the
state.
“In order to help you get your
fair ready," Schaub wrote County
Manager C me, and in order to keep
your agricultural contests gQing^ I
am willing to send you one of these
assistants agents, who are being
paid by the state and will cost the
county of Cleveland nothing, to
help get joj; fair exhibits ready
and to keei in touch with other
developments of the fall, the im
portant season on the farm.’’
County Mai ager Cline immedi
ately wired Mr Schaub to send the
assistant agent along as an agent
is needed here now to aid in the
fair preparations and to keep check
on cotton contests and other con
tests being carried on by $he farm
ers.
The general supposition is that
if the assistant agent sent here, to
“tide over” for the few important
months, can show himself worth
while and of beneficial aid to the
farmers he may be retained as reg
ular farm agent for the county.
However, hat angle is only prob
lematical. Yet county officials,
farmers, and others interested in
the success of the approaching fair
are pleased wiih the offer made by
Mr. Schaub. And thus, for a time,
at least, che farm agent matter Is
closed.

Governor May
Be Witness In
Strike Hearing
Will l.ikely Remain In Shelby I n
til Neat Week Await
ing Call.
Governor O. Max Garnder ra\
extend his vacation In Shelby a
few days because of the trial of the
Gastonia strikers In Charlotte,
to which he was subpoenated as a
witness.
Discussing that likelihood a dls:
patch from Raleigh says:
“It will be Tuesday or Wednes
day of next week before Governrr
Max Gardner returns from his vaca
tion In Shelby. Governor Gardner
plans to remain in Shelby until It
is decided whether or not he will
be required to appear as a defense
witness in Charlotte at the trial of
the Oastonia strikers for the n ur
dar of Police Chief Aderholt.
‘The governor is still under seb
poena. issued at, the request of de
fense counsel, to appear and produce
a letter written to him about six
weeks before the shooting, in which
a striker requested the governor to
protect the strikers’ headquarters.
The letter was written shortly rfter
an as yet unidentified mob wrecked
the first headquarters occupied by
the Gastonia striekrs.
"Oovernor Gardner, while always
expressing his willingness to make
public any information he had with
regard to the strike at the trial, -ias
always doubted whether this lpi*er.
or any other information that he
has, could be of material value to
the murder case.
“Judge Barnhill's ruling yesteidav
limiting testimony in the strikers'
trial to the alleged conspiracy on ‘. he
night of the murder, and eliminat
ing evidence concerning other as
pects of the strike, may result in a
ruling that what Governor Gard
ner could say- would be irrelevant.
In this case the governor plans to
return to Raleigh very soon. jut.
if he is to testify In Charlotte, he
does not plan to come to Raleigh
and immediately return to Char
lotte. In that case he will remain In
Shelby until he is called as a wit
ness. unless it becomes apparent
that he will not be called for some
time, If at all."

Beam Thinks Crop
Estimate Too High
John Beam who is a close observer
and somewhat of a farmer, .iV*n*
self, says the cotton crops estimates
are too high. ‘ Back when Bass
Suttle, Dr. Royster and others tv ere
so optimistic as to predict from 05,
000 to 75 000 bales this year, I
thought they were right, but since
then the crop has been sadly In
need of rain and many shapes h. ve
fallen off. There are many sections
where the drought has been rltfht
severe and I. think we will do well
now to make 00,000 bales. That
would be my top guess."
