Soma of the men who felt Randolph's huh about their face decided they had had enough of combat. Others preaeed forward in an attempt to keep Jaokaon from shouting IisrtrucUcM to those stand ing in the' doorway of the Inn. One of iha mob leaders decided that the beat way to break the rmorale of the defense would be to japtrit Peggy away. Ha called a huaky colleague to hie aide, and silently the two adyanced from be-, hind as the girl stood In the shadow of the servants' lodge. With a - scream, at the last minute, she saw them and pulled back. The men reached out to seize her, as she "turned and. Unpad, :.A . ,i , I Heroio Intervention came from an unexpected source.

"I'm sorry then," said Randolph, after a barely perceptible hesita tion. . "I don't love you, Peggy." "You're a liar, John Randolph," answered Peggy, putting her arms around bis neck. By a rigid effort of will Randolph restrained himself, disengaged her arms,, draw back, Peggy turned quickly and left the room. Two nights later the tumult of the battle at the Inn. had been for gotten in plana for a gala hay ride. The only problem, so far as Peggy waa concerned, was the matter of an escort. She found herself provid ed with two, Bow Timberlake and ! Rowdy Dow, and, rather than turn down either one flatly, she sand wicfaed herself between them on the hay-rick. When the party arrived at their destination, Joab Oxenrider's Pike I House, festivities were well under way. Dancing, games, solos on the ; flute and 'harmonica, and volunteer amateur entertainment all helped to make the affair a huge success. Peggy looked - more flushed and lovely than ever in a new evening dress. She felt much more Interest ed in Bow than in Rovdy, but she tried hard to maintain an impas sive neutrality as ehe danced with ner. xwo escorts.- m I- PtgXJ Jtmmf btrnlj fnridtd wM fuw to give the same treatment to the other. , On all sides the battle still raged, but some of the Invaders who came carrying too heavy a load of liquor were beginning to feel its effects. Many of the attacking force were bunched up, struggling with one an other. Others decided they had ab sorbed enough punishment and vanished. The turning point of the fray was the appearance of Rachel Jackson at an upstairs window. Swinging a bucket of boiling water with a prac ticed hand, she brought a resound ing moan from her human targets below. General Jackson looked up in wild-eyed approval. "Cast wider, my love!" he shouted. "Wider it is, Gin'ral!" called back Rachel, registering a perfect bulls- eye w:tn tne socona Ducaet. A moment later the mob was In disorderly retreat Hands protect ing the backs of their burning necks, the attackers rushed for the front gate; Those who still lagged behind were quickly taken in hand by the home force. "I have caused a rumpus, haven't I?" Peggy asked her rescuer, bare ly conscious of the fact that his arm had bean encircling her waist for the past three minutes. "Next time you want to jjet ab ducted," smiled back Bow, "I advise you to send for a sailor." Impulsive ly he kissed her, then bade her good night When Peggy was escorted back to her room, her father making a vigorous effort to control his anger, she could think only of one thing. That was not the smiling face of Bow Timberlake: it was the re markable display of courage and strength shown by John Randolph. He, a man averse by nature to nl -ideal ccmbai. had literally blud geoned a whole crowd into submis sion, one ieu a rag ai ner win when she reflected on the ungraci ous way in which she had received hia interference that afternoon. He had been so very right about every thing, and she so misled. , . ' Acting on sudden impulse.

An exhibit of eight litters reared under the parasite-free system was a feature of a recent livestock field day at the North Florida Experi ment Station, , Quincy, Fla. Of the eight litters, three were from a pub lic school at Greensboro, where voca tional agriculture is taught. The re maining five were raised by a 16-year-old boy. About three-fourths of the 63 pigs in the eight litters brought $10.50 a hundredweight on .- a day when the top price at the nearest market was $9.50. Most, of the pigs were from 6 to 7 months old and weighed from 100 to 240 pounds. As reported to the Federal Bureau of Animal Indus try, they were exceptionally well de veloped and uniform, and gave evi dence of good breeding, feeding, and freedom from the usual internal par asites. The field day was the first of its kind in Florida, and the, pigs exhibit ed were the first in the State to 'be raised aecordinar to all nroviaions of Swine sanitation which is directed in particular against - roundworms and kldne7 worms. ? ,", - The Georgia Exneriment "' Station. at Tifton, has raised pigs under the sanitary system lor " six years and holds a field day 'each year. ' In Georria '"' a iwinMrnommmmt mm. mittee , has . developed " a " complete Droeram for better swine nroduction which, , includes the care and feeding.) oi sows, naiancea leecung, : ana con trol of cholera and internal parasites. The plan is being taken up by other Southeastern States. ( , ' Extend Time To Plant Soil-Cbhsemi Crop Winter legumes sown in October may be counted as soil-conserving crops under' the 1938 soil-improvement program, according ', to J, F. Crieswell, of .'StaUCollegeV' iy.:: 5 . The time allowed for seeding con serving crops has, been extended to October 81, since many farmers have been handicapped by dry weather, he explained. He urged growers to take advant age of the time extension and bow enough conserving crops to qualify for . the maximum payments possible for them to receive. A change in the regulations, he added, now permits growers to meet their minimum conserving crop acre age requirements by sowing winter legumes on fields where depleting crops were harvested earlier in the year. ' The minimum acreage of conserv ing crops required id equal to 20 per cent of the . base cotton, tobacco, and or peanut acreage, plus 15 per cent of the base acreage of other deplet ing crops. . This is the minimum amount oi conserving crops a farmer must grow to participate in the ; soil-improvement program. Conserving crops may also be grown' for another purpose: to make a grower eligible to receive payment for carrying out soil-building prac tices. When grown for this purpose, the conserving crop must not be placed on land where depleting crops have been raised this year. Since the work of checking grow ers' compliance with provisions ol the soil-improvement program has been completed in most counties, Criswell stated, growers who seed conserving crops in October should report it to their county agents so they will get. credit for the later seedings. . ...,.-..,,- Felton, Annette M-i ,MarkeY gt I L 1 -20 Felton, Elec ... , . 2.68 Felton, Laura Swain r..-, 12.38 Felton, James, Edenton Road St. -L-. 6.20 Felton, WUliam, Gum Alley H Felton, Laura and Annie PWJ-i : Felton, Tom : . 4.95 Felton, Lucy, Hyde Park St 8-80 Feltoni Harrison, Estate : -,. - ' 45 Felton, Wm. ; Percy, Railroad Ave. ii- Franklin, ftrentice, Estate, Barrow.
