Behind the locked doom of h)|B office,
Maxwell C. Byera, president of j
the Western Maryland railway com j
pany was shot and killed in Baltimore,
Md., Tuesday by Dudley U.
Gray, vice-president of the company
who then futally wounded himself.
Byers was shot- eight times, once
through the heart, Gray was shot
twice, a bullet near his heart causing
his death soon afterwards,
Angtfred by an unfavorable court
decision, Mro, Dolly Douthitt, eccentric
00-yuer-old widow, critically
wounded H. Z. Wedgewood, U.* S.
Commissioner and fired a wild ahot
at District Judge Arthur Sutton in
court at Knid, Okla., Wednesday.
Mrs. Douthitt, acquitted'20 yearn ago
for the murder of her husband,,
snatched a revolver from her clothing
and fired just after the judge
had announced a decision in favor of
Wedgewood, whom she had accuacd
in a<J?wsuit of "persecuting" her.
Hopest Men Pay
Their Bills Promptly
(II. W. Crouch in Balud* Standard)
Some people make debts or borrow
money to aid them in their bugincsl. j
Probably all, when they make debt*
or borrow money, mean to be honest
and pay in full.
Sometimes our plans miscarry ojf
hard luck befalls us and makerf n
impossible to Ik* prompt in ttya payment
of what we owe. But no HONEST
MAN ever becomes indifferent
to what he owes. If he is really
HONEST he will never stop doing
his best, (and that means a great
deal) to wipe out every honest and
just obligation.
Framing excuses does not satisfy
an HONEST MAN. No EXiCUSK
ever pays the debbs of such a man.
Only the c<iin of the realm, and one
hundred cents on the dollar, will satisfy
him. Others may be satisfied
with an excuse, or with dodging, or
grow indifferent, but no HONEST
man will ever be found in that category.
And then, too, can a man cpunt^
himself honest who owes money and
is not willing to work harder, live
on less, sacrifice and cut to the bone,
and do without, even until it really
hurts, in order that he may meet his
obligations ?
Some people are facing the test of
their lives. They owe money and are
trying to smother their consciences
with some excuse. They are unwilling
to-ride less, to spend less on
themselves, to quit burning gas, to
do on less in the way of clothing or
for pleasure. And then again, the
statutes of limitations never run
against the debt of an HONtEST man.
Such a man's debts are never outlawed.
He may have to make sacrifices,
many and for a long time, in order
to pay what he owes, but he is willing
to do it, and will do it, rather
than go through life with a conscience
lashing him and accusing of
being dishonest!
That there has been a "slump" in
recent years in regard to debt-paying
by a large class of our people, is
one of the'terrible revelations of the
present day.
Thexe are those who owe for their
groceries, their shoes, their clothing
now worn by the members of their
families, their obligations to some
bank, who are spending what they
make buying gas and oil and keeping
up an automobile, running about
the country, and' are apparently utterly
indifferent to these obligations.
Are such honest men? Can they
claim to be honest?
Old Pope said:
i u I i i
"An honest man is the noblest
work of Cod."
It would be a mighty timely doctrine
for our preachers to thunder
from their pulpits; for perchance it
might be that some old rascal, who
ever and anon takes his place in the
front pew, might be brought to realise
that he is as big a sinner as some
poor devil he denounces for making
or selling bootleg whiskey.
Hold Evening Classes at Blaney j
Blaney, 8. Sept. iit>.?The farmers
of the Blaney community, under
the direction of P. B. Waters, the
agricultural teacher of the Blaney
I school, have been studying small
grains for the past three weeks. The
varieties of oats, the date and the
| rate of seeding, and the treatment
for smut were studied. The appler
or some strain of the appler gave the
highest yield of any varieties in the
test and the Fulghum was the next
highest variety. The yields when the
oats were planted on October 16 were
trie greatest. In a 10 year test at
Athens, <ia., the yield on this dats
doubled the yield when the oats were
planted on November 15, From i
to 3 bushels per acre gave the highest
yield for rate of seeding. The
conclusion was drawn that there was
i
no doubt but that smut could be controlled
on oats when they were treated
with formaldehyde and ihitf' at,/#
very small cost. The cost of treat-'
ment being less than two cents per
bushel. (
i i . ?
The fact that some of the 5S|
practices could be changed
tie or no coat was one of thi|H
standing pointa in the* jjlp
Such changes aa varieties,
planting, and treating for amutlfe
be made at very little-coat snBfc
may increase the yield oati*ffi
siderably. I
