L, funderburk Denied Bail. Monroe Enquirer A. C. Funderburk, who shot and killed Luther Tray wick on December 19th on Funderburk's farm in east Monroe township, had a preliminary hearing yesterday before Sub-Recorder W. O. Lemmond. Mrs. Dora Tray wick, widow of the deceased, testified that her husband was hauling corn from the field, that Funderburk went to the field and demanded the load of corn on the wagon, claiming that her husband owed him, and that Tray wick had sold cotton on which Funderburk had landlord's lien. The two men engaged in a hot dispute and she went out to where they were and told them that she was going to Vann Cuthbertson's and 'phone for the sheriff. Her husband, who was sitting on the ^corn in the wagon, said, "I'll sit right here until you get back." Funderburk said, "He has got a certain length of time to sit there." Mrs. Traywick further testified that she went to Mr. Cuthbertson's and just as she got to the house she heard three pistol shots down in the field where the men were. She re turned to the field and found her husband dead. Vann Cuthbertson testified that he went to the field where the homicide took place immediately after the shots were fired and found the deceased lying on the ground, that he did not see a knife in the dead man's hand, thai Ik? went aM to get help and McDonald, cHored, leaning over the body. McDonald left and when he and Mrs. Traywick, who had just come up, got to the body there was a knife in the right hand of the dead man. Dr. S. A. Stevens and Dr. H. D. Stewart testified that they ex amined the body of Luther Traywick some days after the homi cide and they found that a bullet had entered the left ear and had ranged upward at an angle of 3f or 40 degrees and forward. A bullet had entered the back, three or four inches to the left ol the back bone and ranged downward and slightly to the righl passing through the lung tissues and lodging in the heart. Preston Griffin testified thai he saw the body at the samt time Bill McDonald was by ii and that he Heft McDonald anc ran to W. E. Funderburk's, fath er of A. C. Funderburk, and 'ohoned for tho shpriff tirul ihai when he first saw the body then, was a knife tightly clinched ir the right hand. The defendant did not testify.

Dispatch to New York Sun Secretary Bryan discovered that he was lucky to have missed spending Christmas day in a Virginia jail for a violation of the game laws. Having a day off from the grind at the state department, Mr. Bryan put up his plough shares and took down his gun. The colonel is a great huntsman. He hunts rabbits. Down in Virginia Mr. Bryan has a cousin, and early Christ mas morning, with the snow glistening on the ground, Mr. Bryan drove to this cousin's house and the two went rabbit hunting. It happens that Vir umiii nas a g?me law wnicn ior bids rabbit bunting when snow is oirthe ground, bui ignorant of this law the hunters plodded up hill and down dale all day. Fortunately for Mr. Bryan not a rabbit could be found which would stand still long enough for him to hit it. It was only this fact that kept Mr. Bryan from breaking the game laws to smithereens. Secretary Bryan, however, tound comfort in the thought today that he went on this illegal hunt in ignorance of the law and that there was no more* wrong involved.

M. TUCKER, Treas. Don't Sell tke Horses and Mules. We believe the farmers of Georgia are making a mistake in selling their mules and horses to agents who are buying for the warring nations in Europe. Everyone knows that for several years after a great war mules and horses always are higher in price than ever- For the past 15 years now mules ' and horss have been steadily abvancing in price, and the reason for this demand is the excessive demand for livestock. The farmers are not only selling mules and horses that they are going to need, but they are selling them for a little more than half what they will have to pay for them when they go to buy them back." The above, from the Telfair, Ga. Enterprise, is sound advice. The South has too few horses and mules in proportion to men i_ e - - ? aireauy lor economically producing our crops and to sell those needed is poor economy. It is a well know fact that the earnings of the farmers of any section are usually in proportion to the number of horses and mules they use. It is not economy to keep more horses and mules than are used to good advantages, for they are expensive animals to keep in idleness; but it is quite certain that the number of farm workers in the South might greatly increase their net profits by the proper use of more horses and mules. Therefore, we regret to see these animals going out of the country. It is almost certain that they will be bought back again at higher prices, just as I soon as the present money strinr nt ton goes back to a fair price. This has always been our mis take as to livestock. We have bought on a high market and sold on a low, which is always disastrous. Of course, it is largely the need for money and the prospect for low prices of cotton and curtailed acreage, chiefly the former, that are causing these horses and mules to be sold, but our people need to use all of them and to use them to the best advantage* in the production of other crops.?Progressive Farmer. Other Nations May Enter War. London, Jan. 9.?Should Koumania, now that the Russians are on the border if not actually in Transylvania, decide to join the allies, her army will provide the missing link in the chain of troops 1,300 miles long, winding from the Baltic to the Adriatic. This battle line would be com posed of Russians, Roumanians, Servians and Montenegrins on the one side and Germans and Austro-Hungarians on the other. The allies believe Roumania soon will take the plunge. Other developments are exoected. Relations between Greece and Turkey have reached the breaking point over the alleged ill treatment of Greeks in Asia Minor. Italy is growing restless over Turkey's delay in giving satisfaction for the violation of the Italian consulate at Hodeida, from which the British consul, who sought refuge, was forcibly removed.

The house had not been occupied for about two weeks. It was an eight room building and was a good one. Mr. Penegar carried about $2,000 insurance on the building. The origin of the fire is not known. The Piedmont Buggy Company's warehouse and its contents were destroyed by fire between ten and eleven o'clock last Frida) morning. The warehouse was in the rear of the factory building and it was packed with material, mostly wood material for carnages and buggies. There were hundreds of wheels, rims, spokes, shafts, tongues, axles and other wooden parts of running gear in the warehouse, about fifteen thousand dollars' worth. Since financial depression has been on and work has been slack the material had hppn Ifpnt in ll-m 111 mi- naicuuusc ill* stead of in the factory. The loss is covered by insurance. The origion of the fire is not known.
