MURDERFR OF CRAIG
FAMILY CAUGHT IN TEXAS
Henry Lowry, negro, slayer of O.
T. Craig, .prominent planter of No
dena, Ark., near Wilson, and the lat
ter's daughter, Mrs. C. O. William
son, on December 25, has been cap
tured by the police at El Paso, Tex.,
and will be returned to Wilson at
once, states a dispatch from Wilson
Wednesday. Lowry also seriously
wounded Hugh and Richard Craig,
sons of O. T. Craig. Richard Craig
is still lingering pear death in a
Memphis hospital.
Lowry was traced through letters
written back to Nodena to negro
friends. These were intercepted and
police in the Texas city were notified
to arrest Lowry 'vh"n he called for
mail in answer to his betters.
The negro who received the letters
has been captured and is in jail "t
Wilson. He is declared to have ad
mitted that Lowrv Spent the night
after the murder-pt the home of t
negro tenant nefti the scene of the
killing. This m ""While several
posses were searching the entire
section. .
Officers have left to bring Lowry
back to Nodena. It is declared that
in event of Jhis being placed in jail
at the small town that it will be
only a question of hours before he is
lynched. Feeling over the affair
has subsided but little, and many say
that others implicated may be
lynched at the: same time.
The negro became violently hys
terical after his arrest. When he had
calmed down, he said to the de
tectives: "If they ever get me hack to Tur
rell, they'll bum me and never give
me a trial, i know it, doss, nor
God's snke shoot me now or give me
razor and 111 do the job myself,
I'll never be a day in jail at Tnr
rell before I am burned at the
stake." '
-According to information received
at Wilson, Lowry killed the two dur
ing a Christmas Eve celebration. A
Eosse was hurridly formed, but
owry made his escape. He declares,
however, " that he did not fire until
he had been wounded by the white
man. He claims e doesn't know how
many he killed or who they were,
but admits he emptied an automatic
pistol into the crowd that was pur
suing him, Lowry told the following
story: . - " i-
"When the mob formed and took
afer me I ran and hid in the brush
till after dark. Then I began crawl
ing and crawled till morning. Lots
of time men in the posse were near
me and once they nearly stepped on
me. It was cold and much of the
time Thad to crawl through mud
and water."
Succeeding in eluding the mob,
Lowry says he made his way to a
railroad and went to Dallas. Texas,
and from there went to F,l Paso.
Arrived in El Paso, he says, he wrote
home to find out how manv and who
re had shot. It was that letter, 'au
thorities sav, that, revealed his pres
ence in El Paso. Lowry said he would
not figM extradition, but declared
h'd rather be sent bi"k dead than
liv as he is certain he will be
Ivnched. The negro still carries a
wound in the arm. which he insVs
is from a bullet fired at him .before
he fired M the crowd.

AN OLD LETTER FROM
ALF TAYLOR'S FATHER
The Rev. W. S. Neighbors, of Chat
tanooga, has sent to Gov. Alf Taylor
a copy of the letter his father sent
Gov. Bob Taylor on the occasion of
his first inauguration as governor of
Tennessee. The letter follows:
"My dear Son:
"As you enter today upon your
official career as governor of Ten
nessee, I want to say a few things
by way of encouragement. As a
public officer you will meet success
or failure just in proportion to your
observance or non-observance of cer
tain simple rules.' Learn all your
duties and then promptly and fear
lessly discharge them. In every
transaction be governed bv the law,
by the demand of an enlightened.
conscience by the demand of the Su
preme Divine code. Let no tempta
tion induce you to ignore the re
quirements of your self-respect. Let
your promises be few and strictly
performed. , Don't forget that the
eyes and the ears of enemies are
open to all you say and do; therefore,
think much, and let vour words be
well chosen. See all questionable
cses, say and do those things that
are clearly right and never doubtful.
"Place vour hands in the hands 6f
your Lord "nd bee- His guidance in
every condition of life.
"And av the love and peace of
God be with you always.
"Affectionatelv your father.
"N. G. .TAYLOR."

successfully operate.
There will be a meeting of the Gar

VICTIMS IMMUNE
FROM INFLUENZA
STRAWBERRIES TO TAKE
PLACE OF OTHER CROPS
Every time the bottom drops out of
cotton and tobacco markets our
l farmers turn to their old-time friend,
the strawberry.
I And that is what they are doing in
this community right now talking
strawberries. Some of them are go
j ing to more than merely talk, too
they are making plans right now to
put our several acres each. But the
j trouble has been heretofore that most
j of our growers did not - put out a
j large enough acreage to justify the
i time atul attention required to make
the industry protitabie. .
No grower ought to put out less
than five acres.
Almost as much time will be re
quired to pack and market one-acre
as five. An overseer is required in
the patch most of the time, a packer
and receiver must be constantly on
the joh ad a team, must be on the
read deliveringthe products of an
acre to lvarket, when the same ef
forts would take care of five or more
acres.
There can be no doubt as to the
profit in growing berries, if tihe
trover will but stay with it for a
periori of years, while, upon the
ether hand, it does not pay, perhaps,
to prow bprries for one or two years.
There ought to be concert of action
upon the part of every banker, every
merchant, everv lawver. doctor and
every business man of this commun
ity to encourage this profitable in
dustry. And now is the accented
time to start. The farmers are in a
rHehtv good mood to eo in for ber
ries unon a hig scale, and since the
is no doubt as to it beinw a profit
able industry, no one need Vsitate
urging berrv Trowing bv our farmers.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Influenza attacks carry with them
"a definite immunity to subsequent
attacks lasting several years," ac
cording to the public health service,
which has studied the disease since
the 1918-19 epidemic.
"Inasmuch as the epidemic of 1918
and 1919 affected so very large a
portion of the population," the state
ment added, "there would seem to be
reasonable grounds that the 'flu"
would not again assume the epidemic
proportions of the past two years."

HE PAID $175,000
BEFORE HE LEARNED
A Western farmer, 65 years old,
went into court recently and asked
the judge to appoint a guardian for
him. He explained that he owned
ICO acres of good land, on which was
first-class modern improvements. He
had farmed for more than, 40 years.
He had made it pay. . He had started
with nothing and was now worth any
where from $40,000 to $50,000, all
clear.
Why did he ask the court to ap
point a guardian for him?
Because he had listened to the be
guiling talk 'of various stock sales
men, had been carried away by theit
promises of big and prompt profits,
and had bought stock to the amount
of $175,000.' He had signed notes
for almost the entire amount four
times what he was worth as a result
of a lifetime of hard work.
The court appointed a guardian,
who has prevailed upon several com
panies to return notes given ' for
stock to the amount of $85,000.
Other notes will be contested on the
s-round that they-, were obtained
through fraud. Had not the court
stepped in, that farmer would have
been ruined.
Whether it is farming, carpenter
ing or what, one of the first things to
learn is to say "No" to th "get-rich-quick"
temnter,who comes under
various disguises nowadays. It is
far better to earn a good steady liv
ing and 10 por cent, on a well cul
tivated farm than to go to tin noor
house clucthimr a million dollars'
wo-th of worthless promises. Selected.
America has emerged from the
world war with:
Six per cent, of the world's popu
lation, y
Seven per cent, of the world's land.
Seventy per cent, of the world's
copper. .
Sixty-six per cent, of the world's
oil.
Seventy-five per cent, of all corn
grown.
Sixty per cent, of all cotton grown.
1 hhty-tiiree per cent, of the world's

Twenty-five per cent of all wheat

Forty per cent, of the world's rail
roads. Previous to 1914 we owed England
so much money that the annual in-tti-est
was 300 million dollars. Now
England is paying us 150 million dol
lars a year interest. Before the war
we owed about four billion dollars
abroad. Today the net indebtedness
of Europe to America is 10 billion
dol'ars. ' We possess about one-third
or more of the total wealth of the
world. America is now the richest
nation and the financial center of the
world. Before tho war England was
the greatest ship-owning nation.

SILVER SPRING, FLORIDA
"'
If the "fountain of eternal youth"
should ever be found it is likely to be
found in Florida, the state of many
springs. The great natural develop
ment of underground drainage in
the state has . given rise to a large
number of springs at places where
streams emerge from subterranean
channels, according to the United
States Geological survey, - Depart
ment of the Interior, They range in
size from mere seeps to huge
springs that are the sources of
enough to float good-sized passenger
and fruicht, stpnmprs.
Silver Spring, in Marion county,
the "best known as well as the larg
est spring in Florida, is appropri
ately named. The water emerges
from a basin over 35 feet deep and
is so clear that objects lying on the
bottam t)f this huce finger bowl are
distinctly visible. The source of thi
spriner is the porus and cavernous
Vicksburgian limestone. Much of
the water enters the ground within
a few miles of the spring and as it
has not traveled far through the
soluble limestone .' it is only slightly
hard. The flow is about 385,000
gallons a minute, sufficient to form
Silver Snring Run, a stream eight or
nine feet deep in the middle and
nearly 10 miles long from its source
to its junction with Oklawaha river.
