That Sidney Allen and Wesley Edwards have put hundreds of miles between them and the Hillsville court house, where on March 14 they shot down Judge Massie, Commonwealth Attor ney Foster, Sheriff Webb. and two others, is the belief of Dr. J. W. Neel. of Walnut Cove. whose practice carries him into the Hillsville section. Dr. Neel was here on Wednesday and is quoted by a relative as stating that few people of Stokes and Carroll counties believe Allen and Edwards are yet in the mountains. He said that it was positively known that Edwards was near Pine Hall several days ago, and that Sidney Allen ten days ago, was seen and talked with by a friend while making his way toward a railroad station near that place, both being small stations on the Nor folk and Western railway. He expressed the belief that by this time, both the men, either sep arately or together, had succeed ed in evading the posses. He believes friends of the outlaws aided in creating the belief that they were still in the mountains. An old Stokes county, North Carolina, negro who has worked for Sidney Allen, is reported to have told yesterday of seeing his former employer. This man says he came upon Allen in a clearing, talked with him, and that after he promised to say nothing of the meeting, Allen continued toward the rail road. The negro admits silence for five days. Wesley Edwards, it is now reported, bired a turn out from a farmer in Stokes county several days ago, and was driven to Pine H4ll. The man said to have been Edwards was well dressed and clean shaven. The negro says Sidney Allen's face was covered by a heavy beard. Allen has traveled consider eble, once making the trip to the Klondike. Mountain peo ple coming here unhesitatingly express the belief that both Allen and Edwards have put miles between themi and the scene of their bloody crime, and that they are making their way to the West. Bristol, Tenn., April 11. Judge N. P. Oglesby of this city, former circuit judge of Carroll county, and attorney for the members of the Allen gang now in jail for murder, states that he believes Sidney Allen and Wesley Edwards, w~ho have been hunted in the mountains of Carroll since the court house tragedy, have made their escape and skipped~ the country. Judge Oelesby is a native of Carroll county and has known the members of the clIan intimately for years. He has tried them in his courts and represented them as counsel. He is just back from a confer ence with Floyd Allen in the Roanoke jail and expresses the belief that the fugatives have eluded the officers and gotten out of the nmounta ins of Carroll county. Judge Oglesby be lieves from his investigations that Wesley Edwards, still a fugative, killed the sheriff and Icommonwealth attorney. Taft and Roosevelt. New York.-Victory for or ganization delegates to the Re publican national convention, who were opposed in 17 con gression al districts of New state at today's primaries by candidates named by the Roose velt supporters, was claimed an hour after the polls had closed tonight by the state and county Iorganization chairman. The primary election in this city, where most of the con tests arose, .were made chaotic by one of the worst ballot mix ups known for many years and retu~rnis from the election wvere considerably delayed. William Barnes. Jr., chair man of the Republican state committee claimed at 10 o'clock that the opposition "by the highest possible estimate' would pot win more than 7 out of the 90 seats in the national convention, which the state is entitled to.

In Memoriam. Elmina J. Cauly Barron was the oldest daughter of Mr. and !vrs. J ames F, Cauley. Elmina was born Feb. 28, 1870. In 1887, she joined the Ool mnoy Baptist church, of which 3he was a member at the time )f her death. On November 12, 1891, she was married to Mr. William F. Barron, of Hendersonville, N. C. This union was blessed with ive children, three of whom preceded her to the grave. Elmina was an obedient daugh ter, a loving sister, a flue neigh bor and friend, and a devoted wife and m~ther. She was never too tired or busy to hel p the sick and afflicted, but was always ready and willing to comfort the distressed. At the hours of midnight she was often called by her neighbors. She numbered her friends by her acquaintances. To know her was to love her. "Our dear sister has passed away; They have lain her sweetly to rest; We loved her we thought: Though indeed we did not, For Jesus alone loved her best. We are all very sad and lonely now. When all think of the one that has gone, Though it is sweet to think, She has a sweet place, In the beautiful heavenly home. 'Tis peace, love and sweet refrain." In that beautiful home far above, Where sister has gone tc dwell to sing; The Savior's blessed love. Jesus, while our hearts are saddened, O'er the spoils that death has wvon; We would at this solemn -thinking Calmly say, Thy will be done. Though we're sad, we're nol forsaken, Though we're lonely, we're nol alone. Thou didst 'give, thou has taken. Blessed Lord, thy will be done. M. C. B.

Plant cotton and corn-bul not until your land is thorouahly prepared, and not until you have secured good seed and seen to it that your planter does per e fect work. 2. Plant seed patches of both cotton and corn so as- to have good seed of your own next spring. -3. Plant some pasture lots for the hogs, rape eariy in the month, cowpeas, soy beans and peanuts after the ground be comes thoroughly warm. 4. Look after all the livestock. put them on pasture b it don't cut off the grain feed at once. See that work stock are proper ly fed, and that all young things are freed from lice. 5. Arrange for nlenty of both Irish and sweet potatoes; keep the garden going. 6. Look after the orchard spray, plow, fertilize. 7. Prepare land for hay crops, and be sure that the acreage is liberal. 8. Start the cultivation right -that is with harrows and weeders, and that at the right time-that is before the grass starts. 9. Screen the house; drain all puddles near it; see that all garb age is removed from about it. 10. Open the windows and let the sunshine in the house dur ing the day; open them at night and let the fresh air into the bed-room. Of course, Col.
