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.
Milk good fattener especially for I
local markets but buyers who are going
to ship the birds frequently do
Ie to have them milk fattened,

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.

MODERN JEAN VAL JRAN.
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

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."

a game, especially during hot

Clark pitched the Dodgers to a i)

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

him back to his original weight the
following day.,
