North Carolina authorities are
looking for one Ben Thompson, who
10- wanted on suspicion of having
murdered John P. Peel, a coastguardsmen
near New Bern late last
Friday night. A girl who waa with
feel has positively identified a photograph
of Thompson as the killer of
Peel. Thompson has already served
time in a previous murder case.
Birmingham, Ala., police have thus
far been unable to solve the killings of
Miss Augusta Williams and wounding
of two other young women by a negro
near that city last week.' The police
are now quietly rounding up all Communists
" known to be operating in
that vicinity in the hope that this
may lead to the arrest of the negro
responsible for the shooting of the
young women.
Centralis, Wash., in preparation for
its annual Washington Pioneers picLnic,
several weeks ago placed a ban
on men shaving, in order that the
men could appear at the picnic with
full beards typical of pioneer days.
Violators of the ban were put in
stocks on the streets. Everybody
grew whiskers. There was much joy
among the male population when the
picnic was over and barbers weie
busy.
A raid on an. illicit still near the
Virginia line in the vicinity of Tazewell,
Tenn., Wednesday resulted in
the death of a deputy sheriff and an

serious 'Wounding of a second deputy
sheriff. The officers were searching
for an illicit still on the farm of one
Cline Brooks, and were fired on from
the farm house as they passed the
place. Brooks was killed by the return
fire of the officers. Brooks'
widow and daughters were arrested
as accessories in the shooting of the
officers.
"The project?of?the?fA^jyi
board that every cotton planter in 14
states plow up every third row of cotton
met with derision or anger from
some of the governors and others
to whom it was addressed. Governor
Gardner, of North Carolina, said
he is opposed to making the .Southern
farmer the goat to the benefit of
xurenant.. camera of cotton. Eugene
Talmadge, commissioner * oi ' agriculture
of Georgia, said the suggestion
is nonsense. Governor Bilbo, os Mississippi,
said his own suggestion of
leaving one-third the cotton unpicked
| waa better, as plowing it up would
make further operations in the field
difficult.
The farm board on Wednesday sent
telegrams to the governors of 14 cotIon
producing states, promising to
I hold stabilization stocks from the
market for one year, if the farmers
will destroy one-third of the crop now
under cultivation. The governors
were urged to enlist the cooperation
of every agency, cooperative associations,
bankers and farmers, in this
step. The telegrams were signed by
Chairman Stone after consultation
with directors of the Cotton Stabilization
corporation and the American
Cotton Cooperative association. He
said plowing up every third row of
cotton all over the South would mean
lessening the output by at least 1,000,000
bales and holding off the
market 8,000,000 bales more. The destruction
of growing cotton would
start September 1, and be completed
by September 15, and the governors
were asked to reply immediately what
they think of the plan.
Farmers are advised to keep their
cotton dff the market now and store
it Ifor better prices by tf. CUfton
Rivers, state warehouse commissioner
of South Carolina. (He advises build*
ing at once storehouses for the crop,
end says his office will send free to
any farmer in this state plans for
temporary warehouses which can be
built at a cost of $50 for a 10O-bale
capacity storage place.

Human Fiends
Sent To Prison
Ann Arbor, Mich., Aug, 14.?Three
torch Mayers, called "fiends in hu- 1
man form" by the judge who sentenced
them, were in solitary confine- 1
nient today in Jackson prison, serving
the first day of a life-long penalty
for killing and burning two young 1
couples on a lonely country road near *
here early last Tuesday. 1
They confessed, were sentenced to
life imprisonment and placed in the (
Jackson institution within six hours
last night, after telling in detail how |
they killed Thomas Wheatley and
Harry Lore, local youths and Anna j
May Harrison and Vivian Gold, of !
Cleveland.
A new angle to the affair not men- ,
Honed by the men in their confes- j
sions, was revealed early today with
the arrest of Catherine Keller, 26,
at her home in Ypsilanti. i
Deputies said she was the sweet- ^
heart of h red Smith, 22, ex-convict, 1
who with David Blackstone, 32, itinerant
negro, and Frank Oliver, IB- '
year-old painter confessed to the
slayings. <
Officers began an investigation of
reports that the Keller woman accompanied
the killers early Tuesday .
when they robbed the young couples,
twice attacked one of the girls,' killed
them and burned their bodies. She .
admitted being with the men Monday
night but said she left the party
before the holdup and killing occurred.
The closing of the doors of the
prison at Jackson, 38 miles atoay, a
few minutes before midnight, ended
the most riotous day in the history
of this university community.
Four times angry crowds attempted
to snatch the prisoners. Their
clothing was torn, their faces and
hands scratched and their bodies
mauled as the mob fought to take
them from the officers.
The wind-up of the most sensational
crime in 'Michigan in many
fyears came with breath-taking rapidity.
The clue /that provided the key
for the solution of the case was the
finding of the gun used to slay the
victims.
The weapon was turned over to
the Washtenaw county deputies by
an undercover man for the Ypsilanti
police department. It was
established that the gun had been
in the possession of Smith as late
as Tuesday morning.
The arrest of Smith and Blackstone
followed Thursday morning.
Then came several hours of grilling.
Finally Blackstone gave in. He
admitted that he, Smith and another
white man killed the couples after
robbing them, carried the bodies in
the rear of the automobile of Thomas
Wheatley, one of the victims, drove
past the home of Harry Lore, the
other boy, and then, seeking to dispose
of the evidences of their crime,
soaked the bodies and the automobile
with gnniiliiif Hrmnrri from the tnnk
of the machine, and applied a match.
Soon Smith, who was being questioned
in another room, also confessed.
Blackstone had named Oliver as
the other member of the murder
party. He waa^arrested while painting
a house in Ypsilanti. A few
wl*uitea_ after being taken to the
Ypsilanti city hall, where the quesj
tioning was being conducted, he cried
out, "I did it, I did it," and then gave
a full confession of his part in the
brutal affair.
Oliver said the negro twice attacked
one of the grils. Smith made
no mention of the assault.
An hour and five minutes after
the confessions had been given at
Ypsilanti, the prisoners were arraigned
before Justice of the Peace
Jay Payne, waived arraignment and
pleaded guilty.
The prisoners were taken into the
court room of Judge George W.
Sample, who pronounced sentence?
life imprisonment in Marquette
branch prison on each of four counts,
the terms not to run concurrently.
The passing of the sentence in this
manner practically removed all possibility
of parole. J
Comptroller General Beattie in a
statement issued this week, says that
former County Treasurer John R. C.
Griffin, of Anderson county, is short
$21,319 in his delinquent tax collections
for 1924-26-26 and $9,097 more
in the collections for 1926 to 1930.
Griffin was removed from office in
May, 1980, by Governor Richards, after
he was indicted, and the suit
of the ceunty against him and his
bondsmen for $60,000 is now in the
supreme court. The figures of the
comptroller general apply only to delinquent
taxes, as other parts of the
office were not audited by the state
department.

Current Events and Prognostications
....Uncle Joe dropj>ed in to see me
today. Ke has been kinder under
iHe weather since work time set in.
He has had to depend almost entirely
on Aunt Minervy and the chilIren
to look after the cultivation of
lis crops.
....'Long about plow-time, something
got wrong with his right
shoulder blade, and he put his arm
in a sling. You know a fellow can't
plow with only one hand. When
lotton and corn got large enough to'
t>e hoed and thinned out, his spinal
solium Kot out of whack and he
soulddent stoop over a-tall or talk
above a whisper.
....Crops are all laid-by now, so he
bays, and his back and shoulder blades
have ull healed up and his stummick
misery has also disappeared. He has
been able to fish and louf and cuss
high taxes all year, and he is still
very fond of talking about the world
crisis which he saw in the paper the
other day. '
....Uncle Joe fcbinks the moratorium
will hurt the United iStates and
won't help Kurope. He wants to
know how Kurope can pay next year
if she can't pay this year. He seems
to be afeared that France and Germany
will have another fight about
"Alice and Lorain"?which France
took away from Germany.
....In case of war, Uncle Joe thinks
that "them Italy-ans under Musseleeny
would join the Ballsbevieks and
help Germanny to whip Europe and
France both, but if Cuby waster enter
this war, it might fetch Great
Britain and mebbe England in, and
then the United States would no
doubt hufter lint* up with the Alleys
again like they done before, if much
of our money hud been loaned to the
nation* that had already got in."
. . . eUncle Joe continued: "This t
yearV cotton crop is goner be verry
short. ?Some of my neighbors planted
enduring the light of the moon, f
The time to plant cotton seed is m
the full moon just before it quarters.
1 mind once that 1 planted i
my crop at the right time back in'
IK and t>2, nnd 1 made nearly '& bales *
to each aker, but the guy just acrost I
the road from me waited for the lignt
moon, and he lacked 3 bushels getting
his seed back. The moon haster
be watched if a farmer ever gets his
debts paid." After getting 3 of my j
cigars nnd borrowing half a plug of j
tobacco off one of our truck-drivers,,
he lit out for home.
