Killing For Market. As soon as you have summer-culled your growing and laying flocks your next thought will be for "marketing the culls. Unless feed costs are up and market and broiler prices are down you will probably want to fatten the culls before killing them. For this purpose in general you want to confine them so that they can get but little exercise, and precede the fattening by a starvation period of about a day. This will whet their appetite so that they will eat and futten more during the ensuing week or two weeks. A ration heavy on corn is best for fattening. Wet mashes are better than dry.

Negroes Ordered Out Of Nebraska Town North Platte, Nob., July 18.?Negroes hero began leaving North Platte by automobile, train and other conveyances this afternoon as * ro ult of threats by a mob, which formed after Edward Green, a policeman, had been shot and killed by Louis Seelman, a negro. ? Seelman later shot and killed himself, but the mob that formed at his home retained its formation despite efforts of police to break it up. Threats of violence were heard after members of the mob had shouted orders to Negroes to leave town at once. Some of them left on foot. The shooting grew out of an attempt by Green to arrest the Negro, who had previously been ordered to leave town in lieu of paying a $100 fine for beating Ada Miller, a negress with whom he lived. Whut aroused the populace was the suspicion that' spme of the Negroes had aided Seelman in hiding himself under the trap door leading to the hasnmswt. _ When he returned this morning just before the Mailer woman notified the police, he was supposed to be alone in th?'house. A carpet and several newspapers, however, were found to have been placed over the trap-door. Police dis-! covered this when they placed gasoline around the door, in the second attempt to drive Seelman out of hidinl The information leaked out rapidly and soon there came shouts: "Lynch them all," and "Get them out of town, quick." Subsequently the Negro colony was told to clear out by 3 p. m. The outward trek was orderly but was accomplished cautiously. Police guarded nearly every road the Negroes tpok and assigned men to the railroad stations. In some instances police had to threaten members of the mob, to protect the Negroes. All the colony were given time to get what personal belongings they had. A few owned their own houses. The Negroes, gathering up whg| belongings they could carry, "hit the road." Others walked the railroad tracks, while the more fortunate left in their automobiles, and some bought railroad tickets. Soon there was a general movement of all Negroes outward bound and the North Platte populace looked on with watchfulness, lest Borne go a short distance and then turn back, seeking to return to their homes. Police were assigned to watch the depopulated negro ^ol_ony through the night and members of the mob said they were determined to watch the roads and railroads for any returning negroes.

North Carolina Governor To Have Unusual Ca,* Before Him, (Lexington Dispatch) Members of the family pf the late J . C. Oakes, chief of police of Raeford, native of Yadkin College, this county, will not oppose parole for John D. Cameron, slayer of Oakes, when application for mercy ig heard before Judge N. A. Townsend, executive counsel, at Raleigh, tomorrow, according to The Robcrsonian, of Lumberton. Recent press dispatches from Raleigh had indicated the contrary. Cameron has made what restitution he could says The Robersonian. 1 he arrest of Cameron, who had lived fourteen years in Alabama under the name of Davis, following his escape from prison, revived interest throughout the state in the killing that sent him to prison. A number of relatives of the dead man still reside in this county and a son is a well known citizen of High Point. Oakes was buried at Yadkin College. An editorial review of the case given by the Lumberton paper, refleets a sympathetic attitude toward ( ameron, but it ulso contains matters that will probably interest many in the home county of the slain man. It is entitled "Strange Case of John D. Cameron, and reads as follows: "John D. Cameron, at 40 years of age a drunkard and sorry white man who had thrown himself away, shot and killed P. C. Oakes, policeman, at Rneford, in 1013. He submitted to murder in tj^je second degree and was sentenced to serve 20 years in the state penitentiary. After serving a yeat and a half he escaped from prison, and 14 years later, on information supplied by some person who hoped to get a small Toward, he waa found by pi ison authorities in Sylacauga, Ala., a highly respected, prosperous and useful citizen, a man widely known in that immediate section for his upright character and good deeds. Three sheriffs to whom the officer who went after him applied, positively declined to serve the papers. They said the man was above reproach and they would have nothing to do with his arrest. He was brought back to North Carolina and is now in the penitentiary at Raleigh. With these facts the public is now fairly familiar. They were given wide publicity at the time Cameron was rearrested some months ago. It is a strange case strikingly similar to the story of Jean val Jean in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. If youVe read that story, don't you hate and loath that French officer who hounded val Jean down after he had atoned for his I early crimes and was a blessing to an entire community which he had caused to prosper by his ^ industry and genius and character? ? ?^-"On June 25 Governor Gardner will bo asked to let Cameron walk out of the penitentiary a free man. Lawrence of Lumberton, who has interested himself in this case, will go before MASTER'S SALE. State of South Carolina, County of Kershaw. Court of Common Fleas. H. S.

W. L. DsRASS, Master Kershaw County. ?July 18? 1989. ?, iii .1 caa??HWWBBBBI the governor armed with a suitcase full of letters recommending this .man's pardon. There are numerous letter* from men of high station in Alabama, men who knew Cameron and the life he led there. All with one accord write of him in the highest terms of praise. Ho was known far and wide under another name. He led, these letters state, during his sojourn there, & life above reproach. There are numerous letters also from men of standing all over Hoke county where the crime was committed from the udjoining counties of Scotland, Cumberland, Robeson. Judge Ferguson, who presided at the trial, is dead. Judge N. A. Sinclair who prosecuted as solicitor in behalf of the prisoner. Members of the family of the man who was killed will not oppose grant tug the pardon. "There was und is no excuse for the crime; hut Cameron has made what restitution he could, both to the family of the dead man, for whom he has provided liberally, it is understood, and to society at large. In the swamp where he lay exhausted on the night C.f his escape from prison there came to him a realization, he says, of the horrrible mess he had made of his life, and he resolved to atone for it as he might. He went from that swamp a changed man. He has since led a useful life, arid has been a useful member of society. He conquered himpelf; and it is greater than he who conquers a city. , "Perhaps he should have gone back. Voluntarily surrendered, served his term as an exemplary prisoner. If he had done that perhaps he would have earned enough time to be at the end of his term now. He chose another way, and proved that he had learned how to use his freedom. "What the governor will do we do . not know. The man seems to have done all in his power to atone for his crime. It is a most unusual case." Pilots Roy L. Mitchell and Byron K.

' Why They Weaken New York, July 12.?William Watson Clark, young southpaw of the Brooklyn' Robins, knows why. pitchers weaken in the closing innings of a game, especially during hot weather. Clark pitched the Dodgers to a i) to 6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals the other day but was lucky to last out the game. He explained it this way: "Before the game I got on the scales and weighed 167 pounds. After the game I weighed 156 pounds, a loss of eleven pounds." Clark, however, draws some satis V- ' WJ faction out of the fact that a big Elinor, plenty of water, a good night's sleep and a heavy breakfast brought him back to his original weight the following day., Ying Kao and his wife Susie Kao, [Chinese, who were arrested in San 'Francisco when they attempted to : smuggle $600,000 worth of opium into this country, have posted bonds in the sum of $10,000 for their appearance in Federal court.
