v = VOL XXVII ilK III' Puts an End to the Moving Picture 5how StVtfUL BILLS OF SUE E Haggci, the Arabian Moving: Picture Man Gets in Debt and is ^Closed out, ?His Friend the Syrian Joseph Hnbil has Bill of Sale,?Later a Landlady Conies in and Helps Play the Game,?Losing Business it Seems. E. Haggei, the Arabian who ran a movirg picturo show in one of the Quattlebatm buildings on Main street for the past several months, was put out of business last Saturday by means of a distress warrant issued against him by his landlord for the sum ol $250.00. I* developed that Haggel last February had irade a Bill of Sale or chattel mortgage on the moving picture machine to J. F. Rabil, the Syrian storekeep /in an '.1 >?/l A tr/in n r\ /I T?o Kl 1 f aaI/ ci v/u til u nvcuuC) uiiw ??wu ?ci"? the picture machine under this bill of sale, some time during the mornirg of Saturday and this was at his store when the distress warrant was served by constable J II AlcCaaklll, It seems that for scmo time llaggei had been playing a losing ^ame in the picture business owing to slim attendance of spectators, and he had not paid his rent promptly and when it got behind his thingj were attach, ed, It developed later thai when the store was rented to Ifaggei by Col. Quattlebaum, he bad him to sign a joint contract, which wasnotonlv a lease for a year of the building, but contained a mortgage clause giving the landlord security on all of the equipment, including the pioture machine to secure the pvyment of the rent, and further provided that in case he fell down in his payments of rent, the full amount of the year's rent should at once become due This lease and contract was dated on Feb 1st, 1913. It was on Feb ruary 25th, 1913, that Haggei gave a bill of sale to J. F. Rabil for $85. The constable took the moving pcture machine away from Rabil under the papers of Col. Qaattlebaum late on Saturday evening Itf appears that extensive changes aud improvements had been made in the store building to make it suitable for the picture show, and the con tract signed by Haggei provided idak no should place lbs building | back in its original condition at the end of his lease. On Monday morning E. Haggei was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Vereen, who runs a boarding house. It was sbated thai he had engaged board there, and was owing to the extent of $3 BO which he would not pay. He was placed in jail under this charge, but later some adjustment was made and he was released. ?. 9 Denies Recent Articlo I am asking for space in your columns to reply to what claimed to be a bit of history in your issue of May 29th, relative to the life of my moth er, Mrs. Alice Benton. I know not who wrote it, neither do I care, for evidently, the author was too ignorant of the facts to regard the truth, and failed entirely to give anything like a true story. He would imply that she married just after the war between the States which is untrue, for her first marriage never occurred until ten years after the close of the war. Among the other mistakes, or mis statements, was his reference to her edk?tfumenii bo a Mr. uux, who lived several months after he paid court to her and was rejected. The Mr. Singleton No. 2, he so impolitely rcferie 1 t; 1 s still living nsar where he was fifteen years ago and not many miles from here either. So I would ask the public to coneider that ' bit of history" as chafT, it having been written in a spirit of mischief and is untrue. W. Jesse Young. Crops Looking Fine Zoan, S.

Advice to Tomato Girls After tomato plants are 8 or 10 Inohes high they should be cultiva ted shallow and often, simply cutting tho woods with a hue and makiug a good surface mulch. Apply one teaspoonful nitrate soda to each hill. Deep cultivation disturbs the roots. Pruning increases the s'z} and Improyes the quality of tho fruit, Pinch out all small limbs that coma out at tho fork of tho leaves below the first Mower cluster, continue to do this as often as tho plant forks. Remove all inferior specimens from tomato clusters. Do not permit the plants to trail upon tho ground, fresh air and sunshine must reach all parts. Staking will prevent many of tho common plant diseases, especially tomato rot and facilitates cultivation and githorine. Driyo a single stake with cross pieces to each plant and tio the vino to it. Where plants have not been closely pruned the trellis is better. Tho great cure for all tomato diseases is bordeaux mixture. Begin spraying when plants are small and spray every ten days or oftener. Wilt is combutted by rotation of crops. Rap id cultivation, stirring the soil often and adding a small quanity nitrate soda every ton days. Destroy all infected plants, sprinkle lime on soil around the plants. Conway Methodist Church. Services for Sunday, June 15th: Sunday School at 9 45 a. m.
