town, known as Petersburg, by
Bax Doster, who emptied a
breach loading shot gun into
Smith's abdomen from the right
side. Trouble was brewing and
Doster felt the need of his trustv
shot gun, so he went home and
got it, returning to the scene
ready to hold the fort. When
he returned words passed between
him and Smith, and the
reports differ as to who shot
first. One side claims Dostei
shot first, and that Smith shot
twice with his pistol after he had
been wounded. The other side
says Smith fired first. Lige was
brought to town, and soon car
ried to the Good Samaritan hos
pital at Charlotte where Dr. Brenizer
operated and found his in
festines badly punctured. His
chances of recovery were
thought to be very slim at first,

lodged in jail to await the outcome

Birds Can Help Cotton Farmers 1
Washington,?At least 66 species
of birds found in southeastern
United States are of service
in destroying the cotton boll
weevil, according to ornitholo
gists of the United States department
of agriculture. A much
larger number of the 460 different
species found in the south
east also render important service
to agriculture by feeding on
various insects which attack
field crops, garden truck, forage
plants and fruit throughout the
region. These facts have been
determined by extensive field
and laboratory studies made by
the biological survey, the results
of which have just been published
by the department of agriculture
as farmers' bulletin 755,
"Common Birds of Southeastern
United States in Relation to Agriculture."
The most active of the 66
feathered enemies of the holt ,
weevil, it was found, are the
orioles, which' are among the
few birds actually taking the in- >
sects from the squares of the cotton
plant, and the swallows, 1
which feed on the weevil while J
the latter are in flight seeking to
extend their range. In winter 1
the most efficient enemies of the
boll weevils are black birds, J
meadow larks, tit larks and Car <
olina wrens. The cotton worm I
is eaten by 41 species of birds of '
which the cuckoos are the most
effective. These birds frequent
ly consume from 100 to 150 of 1
the worms at a meal. Twelve
Southern birds attack the boll t
worm and seven feed on the
cotton cut worm.
White grubs, which are a se- s
rious pest not only to corn but j
to strawberries, garden crops
and CTflSSPS flrp paton hu ^7 eno.
r, , g
cies of southeastern birds. Wire
worms and their adult forms, click
beetles, another pest of 1
com, are consumed by 128 kinds t
of birds, while S5 species feed on
bill bugs, which also attack 1
corn. Cut worms, which often ^
oocut in the Southeast in sum r"
mer ftnd fall and attack practically
all vegetation, are eaten by ,
88 species of birds. (
Chinch bugs, which are ex- J
tremely destructive to corn and j
wheat and which are supposed
to have bpt few natural enemies, 1
the biological survey found, are i
eaten by 24 species of birds. Of <
the other insects attacking corn, .
the Southern corn root worm, or
spotted cucumber beetle, is eat- i
en by 26 birds, and the brown (
root chafer by 21. The South- ;
ern fig eater, which feeds as
well on other fruit, is destroyed
by 14 species of birds, the crow 1
leading in efficiency. (
Of the insect pests feeding on
forage crops, practically all I
kinds are eaten by some group I
of Southeastern birds. One of I
-? _ . - '
ine most important ol these pests
?leafhoppers?are consumed by
100 different kinds oi feathered
enemies in the Southeastern
States and a score of more spe
cies of birds feed on the various
kinds of clover weevils.
