* 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 ! ' 1 -'A
uuiuioi/ii ui ui\i; uuwil clllll WCJJL UJL"
terly as ho told the story of how he
* was implicated in the affair and said
he did not want his folks to know
about it . He is about 21 years old.
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.

HOW TO STOP THE ADVANCE
OF THE ARMY WORM PEST.
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.

DEATH
OF A CHILD.
?Infant
of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Booth
Passes Away at Tabor.
I
Little Hilda May Booth, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Booth, of
I Tabor, N. 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.

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.

ARRESTED IN FLIGHT t
V FTP.R I.RAVIVf. 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.
