US WIFE AND FEAR
SETS FIRE TO
George S. Nance, Said To Be
From Macon, N, C., Held in
Rockingham Jail.
HAMLET, N. C„ Aug 16.—After
striking his wife on the head with a
beer bottle fracturing her skull and
causing her death, George S. Nance,
whose home is said to be in Macon,
X. C., saturated her clothing with ker
osene and set fire to the body, in their
room at a local hotel yesterday.
Attendants, attracted by the smoke
issuing from the room, rushed in, and
found the dead body of the woman in
the middle of the room, her clothing
almost completely burned, the furni
ture blazing and the destruction of
the hotel threatened.
Nance was found in a room three
doors away on the same floor, and
after arrest admitted that he had kill
ed his wife and set Are to her cloth
ing. He said his wife had told him
he was crazy and should be in the
asylum, and that she was now as
crazy as he was. She then seized him
by. the throat and choked him, he
said and when he freed himself he
struck her with the beer bottle, frac
turing her skull. Seeing that she
was dead, he poured kerosene over
her clothing and the furniture and
fired the room.
The couple arrived in Hami^t yes
terday and registered at the hotel,
and said they would spend the day
there, leaving at night for Norfolk.
A receipted bill from a Greenville
S. C., firm, addressed to Mrs. George
S. Nance, 321 Laurens Street, was
found in a handbag. The shoes worn
by the woman were purchased in
Knoxville, Tenn.
Nance, who is about 40 years old
of medium size and clean shaven, had
on his person when arrested $563 ir*
bills and coin a Government bond
for $1,000 and a deposit slip from a
Macon bank for $1,000.
A verdict was returned by the Cor
oner’s jury to the effect that Mrs.
Nance came to her death at the hands
of her husband, George S. Nance. He
was committed to jail without bond.
The prisoner was hurried to Rocking
ham. In addition to the charge of
murder, an arson charge was made
against Nance.
The .body of Mrs. Nance was de
livered to an undertaken, who will
hold it subject to instructions.
Dried Cantaloupe Is
California's Latest
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.—With the
perfection of experiments now going
on, California will give to the world
another luscious dried fruit—the dried
cantaloupe. They will turn into profit
some of the millions of small canta
loupes left in the fields every year.
Thomas D. McCall, of El Centro,
accidentally discovered the fine qual
ities of the dried article. McCall had
dumped a great heap of cantaloupes
to one side, several breaking open.
These dried and threw out such a
fine aroma that McCall was attracted
and tasted them. They were excel
lent, and now' cantaloupe growers
are drying all of their small melons.
The dried variety is said to have a
much finer flavor than the fresh fruit.

between seven moonshiners and reve
nue officers in Moore County, near
the Alabama State line, in which

be declared over Sunday, as a num
ber of Legislators planned to leave
to-day to spend the week-end out
of town. Senator W T agner, leader in
the Senate, and Speaker A. E. Smith,
of the Assembly, went to Saratoga.
Assemblyman Aaron J. Levy, majori
ty leader in the Assembly, is hors de
combat, being confined to his bed in
the Ten Eyck Hotel with nervous
prostration brought on by the big
political row.
Monday’s conference of anti-Sulzer
leaders will take steps to reject the
nominations of James M. Lynch for
State Labor Commissioner, and
Charles J. Chase for manager of the
Public Service Commission, because
they are appointees of Governor Sul-
zer. Glynn men will be submitted,
according to present plans. The anti-
Sulzer plans also provided for Mr.
Glynn to send a message to the Legis
lature next week in the capacity of
acting Governor.
Mrs. Sulzer Has Relapse.
The strain of leading a fight against
his powerful foes is telling in marked
fashion upon the Governor. His wor
ries are increased by the illness of
Mrs. Sulzer, who has suffered a re
lapse.
Dr. Abrahams, of New York City,
reached here early to-day, and hur
ried at once to the executive mansion
to consult with other doctors.
One of the most effective weapons
in th e hands of the anti-Sulzer forces
now is the authority of the State
Comptroller’s office. With the Comp
troller lined up with the Glynn forces,
vouchers signed by Governor Sulzer
will not be honored and salaries of
State officers will be held up.
COTTON MARKET
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Reports of
half an Inch of rainfall over the Okla
homa belt lessened the strong Influence
of Liverpool cables to-day, and the cot
ton market opened only 2 to 6 points
higher than Friday's final, whereas Liv
erpool was 4 to 6 points higher. Ordi
narily such strength in Liverpool would
have caused much higher prices here.
There was some unloading on weather
reports, but prices were only lowered 2
to 4 points from the opening range.
The ring, however, were inclinod to hoU
rather freely on rains in Oklahoma and
predictions by Kofler, of New Orleans,
for more rain in Oklahoma and better
prospects for Texas. Offerings were
readily absorbed by the leaders who
bought yesterday.
A sudden short covering movement
prevailed during the last hour, based on
the Government forecast of fair weather
in Oklahoma and Texas over Sunday,
resulting in prices recovering the early
decline and advancing some 4 to 8
points higher than the initial level.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net adance of 3 to 5
points from the closing quotations of
Friday.

Colors Sway City's '
Morals, Says Judge
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—Solors have
a psychological Effect on the morals
of a community, asserts Municipal
Judge Mahoney. He declares that
light colors, tend toward godliness and
that dark colors promote crime.
“Brightness leads to right think
ing,” says Judge Mahoney. “Darkness
and uncleanliness lead to crooked
thinking. This is an axiom as old as
the Bible. I am glad to see so many
white buildings going up in Chicago
They reflect the light and have a
stronger psychological effect on the
population than Is usually imagined.
The smoke nuisance which covers the
building with dark soot is an aid to
crime.”

West Texas reports generally fine
crops and south and central Texas show
cotton as good as last year.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
has the following from Oklahoma City:
“A drouth of over a month’s duration
during which time the temperature
throughout the State hovered at the
100 degree mark, was broken to-day by
scattered rains, which to-night threat
ened to be general. The fall In tem
perature is from 10 to 20 degrees. The
central and east central part of the
State reported rain, while cloudiness
was reported from all of the western
half of the State, with the exception of
the extreme southwestern counties.
Oklahoma, Cleveland, Potawatomle,
Tulsa, Muskogee. Payne. Creek and Ok
mulgee Counties each reported a half
inch of rain. Light showers fell at
Cleveland.’’
• • •
Times-Democrat has following from
Dallas: “Crops have not been injured
seriously by dry weather, but rains
within the next week in most sections of
the State to prevent crop losses, accord
ing to reports 4o-day from every section
of Texas. The weather has played a
trick this year by an unusual amount
of local rains, which has given one
farmer an abundance of. rain and his
i lew mi’es away scarcely a
drop. Many localities In north and
northeast Texas and along Oklahoma
border predict 20 per cent deterioration
in cotton unless rains come quickly.”

MEMPHIS, TENN.. Aug. 16— J. B.
Turner crop summary for week ending
August 16: “Quite favorable weather
for cotton prevailed In the two Caro-
linas and Georgia during the week and
excellent results were secured In field
growth and general development. Show-
er« the end of the week were help
ful. and another favorable week Is fore
casted from the present moisture sup
ply.
In Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee
and Louisiana ome small deterioration
is noted, though it Is doubtful If the
losses are any greater, if, indeed, as
great as those usually occurring at
this period when the plant approaches
maturity. Shedding is reported, due in
most instances to lack of moisture anfi
in Louisiana considerably increased boll
weevil damage. Tn Texas and Okla
homa and over about one-half of Arkan
sas heavy losses occurred, and the plant
is fast running Into a state of decline
that can not be recovered ever with fa
vorable weather and abundant rainfall.
Permanent and irreparable loss has,
however, just begun, except in un
favored localities, and if rain comes
during next week, in general and heavy
fall, great good will be done. Greatest
loss has occurred in Oklahoma, but over
a large area in these three States the
plant shows arrested development and
is rapidly losing vitality, and thus can
not properly mature the fruit that has
been set.”
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “Again the Government reported
only a very few light showers in the
western cotton belt, and shorts began
to admit to themselves that the drouth
has assumed serious proportions. With
such admission came a yearning for
safety, a demand for contracts and a
sharp advance. Dallas reported heavy
sales and a spot price gain of >4 of a
cent Liverpool’s action indicated some
uneasiness among foreign consumers.
The local forecaster promised continued
fair weather In the west. Under the
oiroumstances a higher market was log
ical enough.
“New crop cotton has begun to swell
the movement a little. Nevertheless, the
world’s visible snvmlv of- American cot
ton decreased 105.000 bales to 1,050,000
hales, as against 1.330,000 on the same
datf last year. Galveston expects to re
ceive 7 000 hales to-day, which will
compare with 7,000 bales last year and
12.325 in 1911. The Times-Democrat
will publish in its editions of Monday
next, the special reports of its corre
spondents covering the condition of the
cotton crop up to and including August
12.”

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
“Selling pressure in wheat yesterday
was larger than expected, but they
believe that with .corn and oats ad
vancing It will be difficult to keep wheat
down, and that ultimately, when the ad
vance does start, it will be rapid.
There are very few' bears around, and
commission houses are mostly bearish.
All of the largest bulls in corn appear
confident of their position, and are said
to be buying in outside markets as well
as in Chicago.
“It is the general belief of traders
here that the continued drouth and ex
cessive heat In Kansas and Oklahoma
has practically eliminated their corn
crop as a factor, and unless Nebraska
gets relief at once the crop north of the
Platte will be greatly damaged on top
of that already done, which is estimated
at more than 25 per cent.”
Mistrial in Fourth
Feud Slaying Case
WINCHESTER, KY., Aug. 16.—
For the first time since the trial of
the assassins of former Sheriff Ed
Callahan, of Breathitt County began,
a jury has failed to reach a verdict.
Three of the defendants have been
given life imprisonment, but In the
case of “Red - Tom” Davidson the jury
reported di.iagreemcnt and was dis
charged. Eight were for acquittal
and four for conviction.
Fourteen defendants remain to be
tried. The assassination was the re
sult of a mountain feud.

Life’s Worth
Living in Georgia
If you prefer city life, there
are no better cities in the
world than those in Georgia.
If you prefer village life, the
smaller towns in Georgia
offer every inducement.
If you prefer country or farm
life, Georgia offers greater
inducements than any State
in the Union. Georgia lands
work the year round, from
two to five crops being gath
ered off of the same land
each year—crops that are
profitable.
Climate and Soil
Analysis Tags on
Fertilizer Required
Failure of a shlper to affix tax tags to
fertilizer would not vitiate the sale,
while the absence of a tag showing the
analysis would, according to a decision
of the Court of Appeals in the case of
Hillis vs Comer.
The Court said: “Under the terms of
the Code, a sale of commercial fertilizer
which has not been analyzed is illegal,
and no contract made in pursuance of
such a sale is valid, but a sale of fer
tilizer without tax tags is not necessar
ily illegal.”

Likely to Recover

resentative Joshua W. Ashley, who
was stricken with paralvsis yesterday,
is much better to-day and there is
hardly any doubt but that he will
recover, according to Dr. Shirley, hip
physician. He is able to articulate
slightly.
Dr. Shirley says the fact that he
has the use of his affected leg and

hope for recovery.

The climate is such that far
mers do not have to house
stock during the winter, there
being good grazingtheentire
year. For raising cattle and
stock Georgia offers greater
inducements than can be
found elsewhere.
The soil is suited for almost
anything that grows and can
be utilized the entire year.
The prices at which good
farm land can be purchased
at present in Georgia are so
low that it is a matter of
comment—some thinking
that the land is not so good
as stated. The land is good,
but there are thousands of
acres that are now lying idle
and the good people of
Georgia are anxious for good
farmers to come among them.
Consequently the land is
cheaper here than elsewhere.
