Former Police Chief Suicides
Harold M. Brunson, 65, was found 1
dead in bed at bis home on the out- !
skirts of the city last night. There \
was a pistol of high powered calibre I
in the bend of his left arm and a J
wound clear through the head.
According to Coroner R. F. Cole,
man who with Dr. N. W. Hicks made
an investigation, all the evidence
I pointed to suicide and no inquest was
deemed necessary. Funeral arrangements
had not been completed last
night.
Mr. Brunson suffered an automobile
accident some six months ago of
a serious nature in which his skull
was slightly fractured, and his friends
and relatives say that he had not been
himself since that time. Recently ho
had been in a depressed state of mind.
For a number of year Mr. Brunson
was chief of police of Florence, serving
under several administrations.
More recently he had been acting a*
game warden for Florence county.

What "It" Caused
Bristol, Tenn.-Va., Feb. 14.?Eleven
children and a widow remained tonight
as the wreckage of two families
at Black Ford, Va., where jealousy
bursted into flames yesterday
and caused the death of three parents.
J. D. Howard, father of seven children
came home from his work iu a
store across the line in West Virginia,
quarreled with his wife and accused
her of infidelity. In high anger, according
to the reports of officers,
Howard fired a pistol at her, but
missed. "Shoot again," Mrs. Howard
cried, resident of the community reported.
A second bullet pierced her
brain. The enraged man then killed
himself. Two hours later, Henry
Grant, whose reported attentions to
Mrs. Howard had aroused her husband's
fury, ended his own life with
a pistol shot. Grant is survived by
his widow and four children. Brought
into court last week on a charge of
his relations with Mrs. Howard, Grant
was acquitted by a jury. Officers
said today that Grant was at the
Howard home when the husband returned
unexpectedly from his work
yesterday, but left the house before
Howard discovered his presence.

Miry'i Lamb Return*
Sudbury, Mum., Feb. 14.?A nursery
rhyme prattled by four geiteration*
of children, but half forgotten
by adults, has been revived by the
opening here of the century-old school
Mary attended with her famous lamb.
The building was turned into a bam
seventy year* ago. Later it was converted
into a church garage. Henry
Ford discovered it last year in Sterling
Center, had it moved here recently
and repainted jred with white
trimmings.
The Sudbury school committee authorised
Mr. Ford reopen theschool
in his colo;rM>l , village, when
he offered to employ a teacher and
furnish transportation to the pupils.
Sixteen are enrolled. One .teacher
presides over the six classes in the
one room building just as in 1H14,
when, tradition relates, Mary Sawyer's
lamb followed her to school.
Otto Wood, one-armed, ana notorious
jail breaker from North Carolina
prisons, had been arrested in
Terre Haute, Ind., and will probably
be returned to the North Carolina'
prison, although he is wanted Jn several
other states. ^ ,

[1 Coker's Pedigreed Cotton Seed Are Unsurpassed in the Production of i'l

}(j COKER'S PEDIGREED SEEDS are the product of twenty-five

J J continuous personal direction of David R. Coker.
[ 1 COKER'S PEDIGREED SEEDS have made good in producing

I m state of the South as well as in many foreign countries.
[l You Cannot Argue With a Proved
i j Scientific Fact
J | COKER'S PEDIGREED SEEDS are scientifically bred by the
I * plant-to-row method and only the prepotent, productive strains
f ] making a product of highest money value are used as parent
S"** strains. COKER'S PEDIGREED SEEDS must yield extra quality
and quantity?otherwise the strain is discarded. It is no surprise,
therefore, that among the five prize winners in the cotton contest,
-5 1 FniTP nivti'fhFN:t aiming r>f thp Coker breeding were
UZ represented.
J j From Regular Sales Stocks
J The seed sold contestants laat season were from regular sales
1 stocks. There was no special selection, grading or handling of

I j Place Your Orders Now
J | COKER'S PEDIGREED SEEDS are being offered for 1927
I f the lowest prices ever offered. Our stocks are the most complete

crease the yield and value of his crops at the small outlay nec|
J essary for the best purebred productive seed he can buy.

There is much (but not enough) interest among farmers, cotton "fil
buyers and cotton mills in improving the staple as well as the QjH |S
production of the cotton crpp. Coker's Pedigreed Cleveland Strain Hi
6 is an ideal cotton for this purpose. It has been widely tested 91
during the past year with the result that it has almost invariably U9
beaten all competing cottons in yield and has generally made an 09
*xtra staple commanding one to two cents premium. Heretofore, 21
the maximum yields in most tests have been made with varieties
of less than one inch staple, but Coker's Pedigreed Seed Company
have now perfected varieties (including Cleveland Strain 6) which
not only make maximum lint yields but make a premium staple jfjl
under average conditions. '::

season all of excellent character. Not one bale was under one inch j,
staple and much was 1 1-16 inch, though all cottons stapled slightly 9
shorter than normal this season due to very dry weather."
Can the farmer afford not to plant a cotton which holds out . I 9
the prospect of maximum lint.yjela and in addition a price 6ne or I
two cents over short cotton?
Can the cotton buyer afford not to encourage the planting of I
a cotton which is in excellent demand by the mills and with which I
he can earn a reputation for excellent merchandise? ' 9
Can the mills afford not to help introduce into their local terri- ,r I
