C. Elbert struc k Bob Lewis. I saw 1
him draw back, but turned my head. <
Elbert Todd and Henry Lewis each <
had a stick. Bob lay in the yard two i
minutes and Henry and Alva carried 1
him off. I was at home all evening. <
There was no wine brought out from 1
time boys came until they left. No 1
one drank any wine there that even- i
Ing and there was none drawn that ]
evening, none in dish pan or jug. j
Bob Lewis was hit in the lane near 1
the house. Don't know whether the <
horse was cut or not when they left. ]
Bob Lewis was hit one or one half ,
hours sun. Only one gun fired. The ^
boys started a row in the house. Ed- <
ward and Tone Todd came in the 1
house right behind Bob Lewis after i
he had been hit. Bob Lewis asked to (
Vemain all night. I did not hear my j
father call for gun or razor. Only had <
?nw? row and it lasted only two minu- i
tes. Henry pointed gun in my face ]
and I knocked it off and it fired. I
am sister to Todd boys and Jim Todd j
its my father. I don't know how many ,
times Elbert and Noah left the house ,
after the hitting was done and don't |
know when they left with the horse j
and buggy. Elbert does not live with j
!us, 'but came there to our house Sun- <
day of the fight. Elbert and Bob
was not mad at each other. Noah, j
my father and mother and me, Lueian ,
Stevens was all that was present ,
when Bob Lewis was having bad talk (
to me. Says none of the boys went (
into the house. (After this staters

the fence when they knocked Bob
down inside the lane. Henry and Bob
each had a pistol. Bob said he come
for a row and would not leave when
ordered to. Noah, Elbert, Edward,
Alva Anderson, Bob Lewis, Henry
Lewis was all that was in the row.
~My father was in bed when the rowbegan

Nellie Todd sworn says:
Bob Lewis, Henry Lewis, Alva Anderson
came to my house Sunday evening,
day of the fight, hollowing and
cursing. Anderson had Bob by his
arm, Henry ame in house first one,
went into my room and asked where
my husband was, and I said he was in
another room asleep. He went in this
room and tried to pull him up and said
1 brought you something to drink.
My husband got up and went to door
and told him to get out and be quiet
he wanted to sleep and went baek to
bed- I ordered Henry to leave, told
him he was drinking and he said he
rlid not come to be run oil' and walked
on through the house to where pump
was. I did not see anything to drink
they. had. Mob and VIr. Anderson
then came iu. Bob went in room arid
asked Jinn ti> gel- ui>. asking what we
Hp
were lying there for. Jim said he
bad and wanted to lay and sleep. I
ordered Hob out. He went on into
the house and said he would leave
when he got ready. I went in also.
I saw Henry throw pistol in front of
Ruth and she asked him if there was
any balls in it. He broke open pistol
which had five balls in it and he took
out four of them and snapped it together
and throwed it in her face
again. She slapped it out and it fired
but did not hit her. I told Bob to take
Henry away and leave himself. Bob
and Henry had a few hard words and
Henry Said go on and let him alone
and Bob cursed him for son of bitch.
I told Mr. Anderson to take them off
as he had brought them there. He
said he would take his gun away
from him. They walked out next
to garden, me, Ruth and Ida was

Ruth and told her lets go in kitchen
and ho asked her a question and she
said "you can kill me, but you can't
me do what you want me to." He tried
to carry her in the door and she called
me and he told mc if 1 didn't leave
and let me and my business alone he
would shoot me. I wet my face and
went in room to lay down, I saw I
was going to faint. When I came to
my mind Ida and Ruth was in room
with me. I got up and looked out at
window and saw Henry Lewis throwing
his gun up and said he was going
to shoot in window. I went back to
door and ordered them olf and told
Noah, Elbert and Edward to put
them away from there. Mr. Anderson
took hold of me and I told him to
keep his hands off of me. He had
some very ugly talk and I told him
I would see if I could not make him
pay for it. The boys commenced
begging the two Lewis boys and Anderson
to leave saying they did not
want to hurt them. Henry hollowed
and cursed and woke Jim up. I went
in house to tell Jim to go out there,
but he went and I went with him,
Ruth went with us. Bob throwed
pistol on Ruth and Elbert knocked
him with a stick. Says she cannot
say stick present is one used, did not
say she did not want this stick to
Court House. After Bob was knocked
:iown Alva Anderson started to draw
[jun, Edward told him not to draw
the gun, he had a stick but did not
iraw it and Anderson did not draw
his gun. No one had hold of Bob
when Elbert struck him and Jim did
not call for gun or razor, as I heard.
1 had Jim by the arm, after the lick
they left. Jim Todd did not take
Bob by hand and lead him out. Jim
iid not have hold of Bob when he was
hit. Jim had made me some wine.
Jim had Tone Todd to draw out some
wine two hours before Lewis boys
:ame. 4 There was no wine drawn or
jrought in after the boys pame. The
A'ine was in old throw away house. I
irew out balance of wine, one galon
jug and fruit jar. I only saw the one
stick Elbert hit Bob with drawn, one
more picked up but it was not drawn.
Row lasted only minute or two.
There had been no drunken row at
ionic before this. Jim gets drunk
some times. If Tone Todd swears he

if Anderson or any one else says they
lrank wine at my house from a dish
pan or jug on that Sunday of the
fight after the Lewis boys and Anderson
came. There was no wine got
out of the house after dinner. I had
dinner at two o'clock or later on Sunday.
I saw Elbert knock Lob, he hit
him on the head. Bob spent the night
with us and we put him in room..
Tone stayed to get him to go home
with him, but he would not go. He
left next morning. I saw only little
blood on his nose. He said he was not
hurt bad; but his head hurt. No one
washed Bob's face before ho left.
There was no blood on bed, but saw
where he trowed up, looked like whiskey
or water. Elbert Todd looked
like he might be drinking some. I
did not see any wine in buggy. Bob
came back by himself, Edward and
Tone came back behind him. Sol
Todd says no one sent him after Tone
Todd. I did not say I did not see why
the balls did not make a sign in the
house. Bob was struck in the lane.
Bob was net struck while going down
steps, did not see anybody strike

Joe Doyal sworn says:
I was there when Tone and Edward
brought Bob back to the house. 1 was
with Tone when boy came up and told
Tone they had killed one at his house
and it was Bob Lewis. I went on up
there to house and they showed me
club present and a stave which they
said Elbert knocked Bob with club
and Jim beat Henry with stave. I
don't know which one told me this.

-Ps . .
All eyes are turned on the devoted

&arfied as important out of all proportion
to the number of men engag

tuj must not only keep an open door into

j(j Essen, a most important German milH
itary center, in case the long and stub

mander of the German right wing, is
}1C ended in disaster.
r(l The war lias presented no picture
n_ of greater desolation than that of the
hosts of refugees fleeing ?-om the last
ar llclgian stronghold. Throngs of citi,.
v zens of Antwerp, dumb with terror
[V,. as the huge G? rman shells hurtle ovt0
or their heads with the roar of an exr0>
press train, are fleeing toward Eng,}n
land in Holland in such numbers
(IS that the hospitality of those countries
>}. is likely to be taxed to the utmost.
The flight of these refugees has been
accelerated by the appearance over
the city of Zeppelin airships, dropping
destruction and death.
The only ray of hope from the allies'
standpoint is found in the news

fr- destroyers of Liege and Namur are

SUBSCRIBERS PLEASE HEED
This is the time of the- year when
the tobacco crop is being harvested /C|
and placed on the market. It is the
time of the year when this paper expects
the farmers who read it and
have the funds from the year's crop
to come in and pay us up for the past
dues. It is not even necessary that
they call, if they do not feel so dis- 1 I
. posed. It is easy to write a check or
get a postoflice money order and mail
us the money. For each and every
remittance received through the mail
. a receipt made out in proper form
, will be mailed back. We have spent
a good deal and spared no effort this
year to give the news to the people
. just as it is without fear or favor.
. The fact has been called to the. at ton
tion of our readers time and time
L again that we needed what is coming
to us for past due subscriptions.
While many have heeded the rail and
sent, in the money or called and paid
it at the oflico, there are many others
who have so far neglected it. A3
above indicated, we have patiently
waited until now the marketing of
' the crops of 1914 has begun, and we
? must now ask again those who owe
