Church St. NEGRO ACCUSED OF KILLING GRAY FOX DUBLIN, March 3.—An accusa tion has been sworn out in the city Court against a negro, Willie Moore, for killing a gray fox out of season, it being that he killed this fox after the season for this kind of game had closed on February first. It seems that several fox hunters in the count, who enjoy the sport of hunting foxes, had placed several foxes in the swamp below Cedar Grove, or in that section making ar rangements with the people living in the neighborhood to settle for all damages, if any, the foxes did to chickens or other stock. For some reason the negro, Moore, shot one of these foxes, and it is alleged by the fox hunters, who endeavored ing to stock the swamp again, for the sport involved, that is was shot after the season closed.

BELL’S Pine-Tar Honey STATE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING IH JTUNTA Final Details For March 19th Primary Will Be Decided At Today’s Meeting ATLANTA, March 3.—The sub committee of the state democratic executive committe met here this mroning to make final ar rangements for the presidential primary. This committee, appoint edjjecently by Chairman E. G. Mad dox, will handle the details of the primary, ibut it has no authority to change the rules already fixed, if> was stated. One of the points expected to be decided by the sub-committee at its meeting is the question of supplying printed ballots to counties which are not holding county primaries on the day set for the presidential primary. A number of cqunties have al ready held county primaries and some are planning to |iold local primaries on a date other tiiar. March 19. It is pointed out that it is customary for the state com mittee to furnish counties with the form of the presidential primary ballot and the county prints the ballot with the local ballot. It is likely that in cases where the counties have not provided for local primaries on March 19, the state committee will furnish a suf ficient number of printed ballots for the presidential primary, if it so requested, members of the -com mittee state. In order to determine just how many counties will or will not hold local primaries on the date of the presidential primary, Mrs.. Bessie Anderson, secretary of the state committee, has sent, -inquiries to every county in the state. Mts. Anderson, in behalf of the committee, has called upon the chairman of the Democratic com mittee in each county, to make an i effort to hold the presidential pri mary in as many precincts as pos sible’ on March 19, even though the county primary is not held. In the case of Twiggs county, which held its presidential primary some time ago, the vote will not be TODAYtDAY. / The First Showing D. W.

Mr. Maddox pointed out that the primary was held- before the ex- ■ piration of the date when candi dates may qualify and enter the state primary, and it is possible for other candidates to qualify before March 4. To recognize the primary would be unfair to other candidates and contrary to the rules and regu lations adopted by the state com mittee, he explained. It is expected that Twiggs coun ty will vote again March 19 for presidential candidates. MORE CAROLINA MILLS CURTAIL PRODUCTION CHARLOTTE, N. C., March 3. There was further spread of the curtailment program by the textile mills on this section last week, al though no drastic action was taken Those mills that have been curtail ing for two or three weeks can give no indication as to when tjte order will be lifted. There has been no improvement in the general situa tion, but rather the reverse. At the. offices of one of the local mills it was said these is nothing in sight that would lead to full-time opera tion. Several mills at Rock Hill S. C., joined in the curtailment movement last week and others there are ex pressing concern over the situa tion. The three mills at Newberry S. C., also have cut production-to four days a week. Goods are moving sluggishly, the slump in prices slowng down, rath er than accelerating the movement.
