A. C. Funderburk, who shot

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.

Bryan Nearly Jailed.
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.

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.

Burnings in Union
Monroe Enquirer
A dwelling house in Marshville,
the property of Mr. A. C.
Penegar, of Monroe was destroyed
by fire about two o'clock yesterday
morning. 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.

Two men who last week sold

"Why do vou want that?"
"I sold a loafer of a broker

"Rut suppose, Yustin, he gives

"Then we will be quits.
