WIiTH COMMISSION OF BLOODY
AND BRUTAL CRIME,
£d Jones, a negro tenant on the
Raines farm two miles north of Daw
con, is in jail charged with murdering
nis wife and setting fire to his home
+c cover up the crime.
At about 10:30 o’clock Sunday
morning the tenant house occupied
py Jones and his wife was discovered
on fire, and two farm hand. broke
gown the doer and attempted to rush
in. They were confronted by Jones,
who leveled a gun at them and told
tpem to get out. The negroes said
that Jones was dressed in his under
clothing, and that he was covered
with blood. A few moments later
\lr. Deck Morris, the overseer, reach
od the scene, and as the front part
of the house was falling in he met
Jones emerging from the rear with a
oun in his hand and dressed only in
his hloody underclothing. When the
negro saw Mr. Mortis he went back
into the building and threw his gun
and part of his bloody clothing into
the flames, and came out almost
nude. Mr. T. B. Raines, the owner
of the farm arrived and put Jones in
Lis automobile and brought him to
jail.
The house and all its contents were
jestroyed by the flames, and the body
of the woman was burned to a crisp.
As the woman made no outery while
the building was burning it is be
lieved that she had been killed before
the house was fired. Coroner Mar
<hall empaneled a jury and held an
inquest over the body of the woman.
The evidence pcinted so strongly to
ward the guilt of Jones that the jury
returned a verdict that the woman
came to her death at the hands of
her husband. Jones maintains his in
nocence of the crime, and to a News
reporter stated that his wife went to
4 frolic Saturday night with another
man and did not return home until
about day. He said when she came
in she was drunk and had her neck
tied up. W'hen he questioned her she
said that she had been having a “high
old time,” and some one cut her
throat at the frolic.

NEW REVOLT BREAKS
OUT IN OLD MEXICO
Vision of Peace Glimpsed for a Mo
ment Has Vanished.
The expected has happened in
Mexico. A new revolt. against Car
ranza has broken out, and the vision
of peace, glimpsed for a moment
when Carranza was recosnized as de
facto president has vanished.
The new revolt is headed by Gen.
Felix Diaz and is said to be strongly
financed. It has its seat in the west
coast state of Oaxaca, the home state
of the Diaz family, and 8,000 Indians
form the nucleus of the movement.
But it will have the support of the
Villa faction, and it is hinted that it
is favored by the clericals, who have
suffered heavily and unjustly at the
hands of Carranza.

Talk About Monopolies! 3
: Ever stopped to think what a corner on cotton production old lady
Nature gave our southern country? :
The man away over yonder in some outlandish place we never heard of may
raise or forage all the victuals his folks need. But he can’t grow their clothes.
He’s got to buy 'em. The family may get along on tapioca root, or rice, or some
thing else in place of bread. They may never have heard of wheat by any name.
But they know cotton cloth. And likely as not, the cloth their old man buysis made
from a bale raised in your neighbor’s patch across the creek. :
The world wants cotton. And it looks to us for its supply. Cotton is and
always will be our biggest asset, good as gold.
Yet we've been wasting its value like some inheritance from a rich uncle. '
How? Listen:
Baled cotton has two enemies only, weather and fire. We've been leaving thousands
of bales out in all seasons, to be damaged dollar by dollar, day by day. We've been tak- -
ing the risk that thousands more wouldn’t go up in smoke————
Pick up a paper. ‘“Warehouse Burns,” says a headline; $17,000 gone off the face
of the earth. “$30,000 Cotton Fire,” says another headline. IT GETS MONOTONOUS.
Think Providence gets any pleasure out of that? If Providence has anything at all to do
with it, it's her way of impressing on us the duty of preserving what she gives. :
We’ve got a warehouse that's going fo have something to do hereafter with
the value of a big part of the cotton crep:
Reinforced concrete, sprinkler system of fire extinguishers, electric fire
alarm—these help to make the cotton in it proof against weather and flame.
Insurance costs you two cents on one bale for one month, in this warehouse
of ours. The marine insurance companies have made a reduction of a quarter
of one per cent. in their rate on cotton to be stored with us in transit.
We might have spent about $75,000 and built a warehouse covering our
40 acres. Instead, our investment's close to a million dollars. The difference
is in a quality of warehouse buildings worthy of the south, worthy of her great
est asset.
We invite you to come and see our facilities. We want to convince
you that we're offering maximum safety at minimum cost.
