Troutman. — Fletcher Harrington
Is nothing but a poor man. I bet
he never had a thousand dollars at
one time in his life. You can laugh
at him if you want, then read this
tattle and laugh some more. Yes,
sir. He has a half interest in a lit
tle, farm near here twifa owfls the
big half), but they didn’t heir it.
Fletcher has only one wife, two
babies, three horses, six cows, 12
pigs, 100 chickens, then there are
his truck patches together with his
orchard and garden and that’s the
source of his income. Had to cut
down his cotton acreage this year
because he was so poor.
Speaks just fairly good English
and knows what all the words mean
except just the one word "can't”
That young delegate doesn’t know
what "can’t" means and he can't
learn
Few years ago when apples were
plentiful and cheap he sorted him
out, n big load and drove to States
ville to sell them. He had his little
spiel fixed up to sell his stuff and
had his own price set. They told
him he couldn't sell apples there at
that price and that you could get.
all the apples you wanted at so and
so. Harrington told them there were
no apples on the market like he was
selling. Good size, fine flavor, no
culls, no worms, just ripe enough
but not too ripe. They were scrup
ulously clean aiid just ready for
consumption aim oy jimmtny no

•sell them all—in the shape of ap

mainder with some more through
his cider mill and endeavored a sale
under different guise. Everybody
wanted a jar of cider which had
been made from sound well ripened
fruit, so. he turned a number Of
bushels into dimes and quarters, but
didn't sell all his elder. He made up
some more elder and added to his
present stock, then barrelled it up
Into clean sterlized containers, *Hc
did some little extra things to It
and set it away for a year. By that
time his cider had transformed It
self into a sparkling hundred and

and went to selling and the greater
part of tt moved at a' good price,
but stll lthere was a portion of one
barrel left. He grew a quality of
tender little red beets and when
they reached a size sufficient to
make a good big mouthful, they
cooked the beets, steeped them in
this strong vinegar and jarred them
up into tempting packages so that
the last of the apple crop went on
the market tq a big hotel for cash
two or three years after he was
told that he couldn't sell the apples.
Same way with his pigs. One
year when pigs were plentiful and
cheap there was a very choice
bunch of pigs at Harrington's but
as usual he set the price. Sold
about half of them, but others
didn’t sell. Carried them along for
six months under high pressure,
then sold the most of them as pork
ers at his own price, but as usual
not quite all. The others were
butchered, salted down, smoked,
peppered, cured and offered to the
dear public, as breakfast strip, hams
and cubed salt pork. Sold this
product for more than ’twas selling
for elsewhere but under a guaran
tee of money back if you didn't
think it worth the price after eat
ing some of It. *
Could he have learned what
"can't”means, he could have saved
himself so much trouble by simply
throwing the apples away, and sell
ing the pigs at a loss. That is the
way many farmers would have
done.
Harrington's salary isn’t much. It
consists largely of nickels and dimes
pouring into their, pockets like shot,
rattling down into a tin pan. These
nickels and dimes run down Into a
long legged stocking and when the
stocking gets to weighing about a
pound they take it out and spend it.
Now the ordinary layman would
not think this farmer'* wife was a
farmer's wife. To see her on the
street, you'd" judge her to be a high
school girl. Nothing of that tired
drab mien so often seen in good
farm women. This woman walks
with her shoulders up and with a
quick business like elastic spring
in her every action. Wears silk
dresses, sheer stockings and French
heels which are all paid for before
they ever go on her. She’s the sec
retary of the exchequer and the
dynamic force which keeps the
nickels and dimes rattling In like
shot.
Their little old farm isn't, a show
place. Wot yet. They’ve lived* there

Charity Gets
Huge Fortune
WJpndel Pile. Made By Eccentric
* Family, Is
Divided
New York—A fortune in reel
estate estimated at upwards of
$100,000,000 which three generations
of Wendels have spent their lives
amassing, is to go to charity when
a frail little old lady, last of the
Wendel line, dies.
The will of Mrs. Rebecca Wen
del Swope, who died July 30, was
filed today and provides for that
disposition of the Wendel holdings
after the death 'of her sister, Miss
Ella, now 80.
Mrs. Swope, at the request of
her sisters, had held all the Wendel
properties in her name after the
death of their brother, John, 15
years ago. She was the only one
that married.
Her personal property, Mrs. Swope
left to her nephew by marriage,
George Stanley Shirk of Dobbs Per
ry, N. Y. She also made bequests
of over $90,000 to relatives, servants
and charities.
The residue, after the death' of
Miss Ella, who was left the entire
estate, most of it in trust, is to
be divided among fourteen charities.
Tire Wendel family for years has
been an enigma to the rest of Hew
York. Living in an old brown stone
mansion at Fifth avenue and 39th
street, they resisted all progress,
lived in almost monastic simplicity
and refused to sell any of their real
estate holdings.
The family fortune was founded
in the nineteenth century by John
Wendel, a fur trader and contem
porary of the first Astors. With
the turn of the present century
there remained" only seven grand
children, six sisters and one brother.
The brother, who also bore the
Christian name John,, forbade his
sisters to marry, saying that no
man was good enough for them.
One, Georgiana, tiring of the re
stricted life, fled to Europe and
showed herself publicly In hotels
and other pubjic places. On her re
turn her brduler had her declared
insane, a verdict later over-ruled,
and committed to an asylum. She
finally won her freedom and sued
her brother for $50,000 but dropped
the suit and returned to the old
Fifth avenue home, there to live out
her life behind closed shutters. She
died In 1929.
<_me Dy one uie sisters passed
away, until now only Miss Ella is
left. As did her sisters, she dresses
only in black satin, cut in the mode
of 40 years ago and sewed by her
own hands. She never leaves the
house so far as is known, except to
walk her aged, fat poodle in the
yard behind the house, known as
the “million dollar dog run” because
of the value of the property and the
fact that it is used for no other
purpose.
Some day she too will die, the
public will learn of it days, weeks,
perhaps months later, and the old
house, last stronghold of an old tra
dition that surrendered only to
death, will give way perhaps to a
new building, taller than all the
rest.

Bodies Of Negroes In Lynching

ple Body. Use Their
Finger Nails
| Marion, Ind.,—A frenzied mob
of 1,000 persons which stormed
the Grant county jail late
Thursday night snatched two
negroes from their cells and
hung them on the courthouse
square.
The victims of the mob's fury
were Thomas Shipp, 18, accused of
fatally shooting Claude Deetcr, 23,
of Fairmont, Ind., and Abe Smith,
19, who police said admitted attack
ing Deeter’s girl companion after
the shotting on a lonely country
road east of here. Using sledge
hammers after they were driven off
once by use of tear gas bombs,
members of the mob smashed a
hole in the masonery beside the
jail door and broke their way
through two steel doors to reach the
cells of the negroes.
Shipp’s clothing was torn from
his body by the maddened men and
he was borne in a blanket to the
courthouse yard and hanged from
the bars of a window in the build
ing.
Women Tear Flesh
smun, oorne irom me jail oy
a group of men after they had
knocked him unconscious with their
fists and hammers, was thrown on
the ground where a horde of
screaming women trampled on him
and tore his body with their finger
nails. He then was hung on a tree
in the courthouse yard.
The mob dispersed after it had
taken from the jail and severely
beaten Herbert Cameron. 16. To
day 5 state policemen and police
officers from surrounding towns,
armed with submachine guns main
tained order, while Governor Harry
G. Leslie said he stood ready to
recall the national guard from its
training quarters at Camp Knox,
Ky., if further trouble developed.
Wrong Youth
The vengeance of the mob was
appeased after Cameron wag re
turned to the jail. It was discov
ered the men had intended taking
Robert Sullivan. 19. who was im
plicated in the killing of Deeter,
instead of Cameron, whose connec
tion with the other negroes was
only that of an accomplice in sev
eral recent robberies.
A move toward Sullivan, after the
mistake was discovered and Cam
eron returned, was thwated by a
man who sffid he was an uncle of
the Girt attacked. He harangued
the mob, saying the two men di
rectly involved had been punished,
and advised against further viol
ence. Boon after (ha crowd broke
up into small groups, and the dang
er ot another outbreak was con
sidered slight.
The bodies of Shipp and Smith
still swing from the places where
they were hanged, the lynchers an
nouncing they would be left thei^
until noon as a warning to oth< r
negroes.
Shot in Parked Car
Deeter was fatally shot Wednes
day night as he sat in his parked
automobile with Miss Mary Ball,
19, of Marion. Four negroes ap
peared and after ordering him to
