* ARCH JOHNSON IS THE MANJ THE CASE CONFESSES HIS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE KILLING OF HIS OWN BROTHER. MAN AND WOMAN BOTH * HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT This is the Most Shocking Thing in Criminal Annals in Tar Heel State * in Many Years.?As Parties Tell Mora on J ? A ? * ?>v.v anu iuuic muTt'si increases in Case. Last week in Williamston, N. C., j* Archie Johnson, charged with being an accessory before the fact in the murder of Joe Johnson in Martin County on the evening of July 4th, was given a preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Wynn and the mayor of Williamston, who is also ^ a justice of the peace, with the result that he was bound over to the September term of the Superior Court under a justified bond of $(>,000. He stated that he could not give the bond and was remanded to jail. During the trial he made a statement, which was taken down and lat'j^<?r signed by Johnson, that was practically the same as the one he made Monday afternoon. "I am willing o take all the blame for the death of my brother if that will help her any,and if either of us have to die for the crime 1 want to be the one." Johnson further stated ^that he would not deny any statement W.. VI I I? uy iu rs. uonnson relative to the killing and the part he played in it. Prior to last Monday Arch Johnson had refused to make any statement other than that he knew nothing of the matter and that he had ^{lothing to do with it. "I loved my brother but I loved his wife more and it was because of this fact that I allowed myself to get into this scrape. 1 bought the pistol with which the killing was done and gave it to Mrs. Johnson on Saturday morning before ^the killing that night. I knew what * she was going to do with it," he said at another time. Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson also testirfied at the preliminary and numerous other facts were brought out when she was cross-examined by the defendant. J* Mrs. Johnson said that she and vlrch Johnson planned the crime and to the side of the road so that he could get it the next morning. She said that he told her he would stick to her through it all and when told of his confession, had said that she was ^satisfied with it and that he was dotting as he said he would. "There is no use in our telling any more stories," she said, "For God knows the truth anyhow, and that's what counts. All that 1 can say is that it was love that brought us to . this for I loved Arch Johnson." A .1 !

The court room was crowed with people from all over the county during the trial and Solicitor R. G. Alls^kfbrook conducted the case for the State. Sheriff Crawford and Mr.. Nabers related the story of the confession and the defendants verified their statements, saying there was nothing he wished to ask either of them. His first question to Mrs. Johnson was as . to whether or not she still loved him and when this was answered in the firmative, he seemed content. Roth of them showed the strain under which they had been laboring, and Mrs. Johnson, who had been in jail the longest hardly looked the same as when she was arrested. She genJN erally wears a little house dress and I* apparently cares very little about her personal appearance. They contin11 1 i i ii i * uauy asK to De allowed to be together where they can talk and theii greatest concern is apparently not about themselves, but about each other. It is the worst affair that ever ^ took place in Martin County and everyone there who heard about it is discussing it. The whole county was shocked at the news and each new development has fed the talk untilit became the main topic of conversation. Both of the people are in jail and Jjwill remain there until the Superior /P Court in September. / In many portions of Horry County, the weather is still very dry and the . crops are much the worse for showjd ers, though the cotton and tobacco crops are looking remarkably weil considering these conditions.

Here is a Description of the Pest That is Threatening Many Places North The army worm is a smooth, striped catapillar about an inch and a quarter long and a quarter of an inch in diameter. It is rather dark in appearence. While normally it feeds by night and hides by day, not being generally noticed, as soon as it has increased to such a number that its food supply falls short, it starts to travel and becoming bolder, feeds both night and day. The moth from which this worm hatches is brown with a white spot on the center of each fore wing. It measures about an inch and one-half from wing to wing. If the worms have not yet attack eu a nem tne most practical way to keep them out is to plow furrows in the direction toward which they are traveling. The worms will fall into the furrow and when this is full they may be killed by dragging a log back and forth in the furrow or by destroying the worms in holes previously dug | at intervals of 20 feet in the bottom of the furrow. Kerosene poured on them in the holes will destroy them. If the worms are already in the field the following mixture which will attract the worms and destroy them should be sprayed about: 1 pound of paris green (poisonous) r>0 pounds of wheat bran. Juice of one-half dozen oranges. Bring this mixture to a stiff dough by the use of dilute molasses and scat j tor it amongst the worms. Care should be taken to keep this dough from children or domestic animals. Prompt action to prevent the j worms from infesting a field is much better than later efforts to attempt to kill them in the grain. Once the catapillcrs have infested a field, the measures necessary to destroy them may seriously hurt or even destroy the crop. The worms at first are almost always localized in some definite breeding place in the field and immediate efforts should be taken to eradicate them in these small areas before they have had time to spread. The normal breeding place of the armv worm is in rank grass, such as is usually found along the edges of swamps or in spots of pasture land that have boon over-f^rti^ed. Thoy are practically never found in swamps, Y cause the worm needs a reasonably dry place in which to breed. Clean cultivation, rotation of crops, cleaning up of fence corners, closr pasturage, and turning the over of waste grass land in the spring or fall are good measures to prevent a reoccurance of the army worm. j * ~ ?? 5 or f? doses GOG wil break any case of Fever or Chills.

O., died an June 27th at the ago of seven months and four days, and after an illness that lasted for live mnoths. Everything possible to save this young life for maturity and usefulness. Doctors both in Tabor and Wilmington were employed in ? her case. Also loving friends lent a helping hand to try and save the child. The Lord saw fit to take her away. Far from a world of sin and strife to the joys of Heaven. Could we but hear its little tongue so sweetly sing the Heavenly songs, and see its smiling face, delighted with that happy place, we could not wish to have it back again. Let us strive to gain the prize, and come to Christ and with him remain, and then shall we share in Jesus love and meet the little babe above. Belle Booth. Sour Skim Milk for Calves. That in summer time calves do as well on sour skim milk as they do on sweet will be interesting news to many farmers who have hitherto been kept from raising calves by the expense of keeping the milk sweet in hot weather. This expense experiments carried out by the department indicate to be quite unnecessary. The. calves will make as rapid gain on sour skim milk. In winter, it is true, this is not quite so satisfactory. It chills the calves and some of them will not drink it. Very young calves have even been known to refuse it I altogether. On the other hand, of I course, it is much easier to keep the milk sweet in winter. Elected President.

HARY I Nice LookinK Young Lady Left Eaby With Negro Woman in Columbia. A woman young in years and pretty was arrested by the police of Savnnah on the charge of deserting her infant child, a girl about five weeks old, in Columbia. The woman was arrested as the result of a telegram sent there by Chief of Police Cathcart of Columbia, the alleged desert- ( ion having taken place last Thursday ^ morning. The police expected the wo- g man to arrive in the company of a ^ Savannah officer. It was understood at police headquarters that she had stated in Savannah that she would go with out requisition papers. In the meantime the child is being cared for by a colored girl named Martha Washington in one of the officer's rooms at the Lincoln Street police station. The woman was a stranger in Columbia when she went to a boarding (| house in the 1600 block of Main street C several days ago. In fact, she is r known simply as "Mrs. Broughton," ? and this is the name that appears in the warrant which was issued at the instance of Chief Cathcart. While in Columbia at the boarding house the girl claimed that she was i the wife of a traveling man and was 1 going to Savannah to meet him. In the mean time she wanted to leave the baby with the colored nurse TV?e - negro nurse became suspicious when the girl failed to return.
