Raleigh, Sept. 13.—The state-owned
rock quarry on the eastern
edge of the' city of Raleigh, which

of times as a depository for evidence
of crime since it was abandoned
about 15 years ago, yesterday yield-ed
up another victim wften the body
of TruemHla Washington, a 25-year-old

almost totally blind, is believed to
have stumbled into the quarry last
Wedaesday afternoon, when she was
last seen. " v
Lee Jackson, the Surry county-man
by comparison with whom so-called
slippery eels must appear ig-nominiously
inactive, is still in Ui
land of the living, having been
placed in the Gullford county jail
last night following another period
of extended and personally directed
absence.
At the next term of court Jackson
is scheduled to appear in answer to
a charge of making whisky. For
some time and for several times hv
has been a fugitive from justice, bui
the proverbial long arm of the law
would not be denied this time. On
Tuesday night Sheriff D. B. Stafford
was advised that the man wanted
was being held by the authorities in
Mount Airy, Surry's capitaly so yes-terday
the fellow was brought back
to Greensboro to await trial.
•Following Jackson's arrest many
month3 ago on the charge of making
liquor in Oak Ridge township, $500
bond was raised and he was released
pending trial. When the case was
called for trial Jackson was among
those absent. Later affidavits were
produced to show that he had died
in a logging camp near Greenville,
S. C. Subsequently Jackson was lo-ated,
apparently in excellent heajth,
-n Surry county, and again he was
p.aced in the Guilford county jail.
A ain, however, he was released on
$5JO bond, which because, of his
continued disappearance later was
ordered forfeited.
'I ne rambling Mr. Jackson now in-dicates
his readiness, to stand trial,
making no further efforts to secure
bond.

MRS. PATTERSON HERE
WITH PARTY LEADERS

Salem, Republican candidate for
Congress in the Fifth district, con-ferred
here Tuesday with a nuvn-j.
ber of Jeadlifg representatives of h«*!
party ia this section, discussing
plans for the campaign and talking
of the outlook generally.

the Republicans for enabling her to
enjoy the campaign as a candidate.

disposed, it appeared. She declared
she had found flaws in the league
plan. She thought, however, that

|-for the discussion or momentous
world problems. The league or na-tions
should not be a political ques-tion,
she asserted.
Plans for the campaign of Mrs.
Patterson and that or E. C. Jerome,
of Greensboro, Republican candidate
for solicitor of the 12th judicial dis-trict,
were discussed at the confer-ence
here* It was agreed that a

Postmasters' School
Held In Greensboro
North Carolina's wheat yield this
year was "very, low, it being only 50
per cent, in the eastern counties and
but little higher in the piedmont,"
Frank Parker, of Raleigh, agricul-tural
statistician, reports. The corn
crop condition shows 81 per cent,
of a full crop, dry weather having
caused extensive damage. Very vari-able
conditions are found as to to-baaco.
In the piedmont belt the
or<|p is described as "quite satisfac-tory,"
while in the east variable
conditions prevail.
The following "weekly farm
notes" were furnished The Patriot
by ,the Crop Reporting service of the
State Department of Agriculture tor
the period September 2-9:
Weather.—The weather daring
August was remarkably eooi, being
about the lowest on record for that
mouth. The past two weeks have,
been very hot and dry, especially- In
the piedmont area. The eastern,
part of the state has had occasional
showers, which have hardly had any
appreciable effect on crops. The ho
and dry weather has affected Uie
mountain area also, being too dry
for plowing in that section.
Grains.—With threshing complet-ed,
the wheat yield was very low, it
being only 50 per cent, in the east"
era counties and but little higher ir
the piedmont.
■ The condition of the corn cron,
shows 81 per cent, of a full crop,
and the yield of 49,105,000 bushels
at this date Indicates that there
will be a lower production than
usual. The price of 96 cents per
bushel is aibout the same as last
year. Dry weather has been harm-ful
to late corn.
Oats are comparatively good, with
* harvest of 8-1 per cent: of a full
crop condition. The fall sowa crop
is much better this season.
Cotton.—The dry weather has
besn favorable to the opening aad
plcfciBg of cottoa. It Is opening re-markably
fast in the southern and
^odtheastern counties. The boll
' yu has done the heaviest damage
nese sections. The condition is
low in the east, where the weed Is
large aad poorly fruited.
Hay aud Grasses.—The hay har-vest
has showo good results, with a
100 per cent, condition in most sec-tions,
due to the favorable rain
season. Pastures are becoming dry
with slow growth on account of tho
dry weather of the past two week
Tobacco.—With the weather fa-vorable
for the curing ot tobacco,
much has been marketed. The con
dition of the state's tobacco is very
variable. In the old, or piedmont
be't, the crop is quite satisfactory,
while in the new, or aestern belt, il
varies widely. Some of the Eastern
Carolina deliveries are in high or-der,
yhe thin and light, weight con-ditions
meant too much wet weather.
Greene county is the center of the
poorest and worst condition.
Fruit.:—The apple crop is gener-ally
good east of the Blue Ridge
mountains and the Equality is good,
while west of the mountains, Indi-cations
show from 40 to &5 per
cent, ot a normal crop. North Car-olina
pear sand grapes are beaig
marketed aad are bringing only> a
fair price, due to the poor quality.
•Livestock.—Hogs seem to be oa
the iacreaee with indication of a/
heavy marketing season. Cattle
show a good condition, as does most
stock.
Peanuts.—The outlook for pea-nuts
is unsatisfactory. Poor yields
are anticipated. Reports of poorly
nutted plants have been received.
'Farm activities.—Some cottoa is
being picked, tobacco marketed, aad
hay is being cut aad.all crops sowa.
Maay sweet potatoes are being dug
in the east.

FEAR POWER SHORTAGE
Charlotte, Sept. 13.—Settle-ment
of the rail strike, with the
resultant resumption of traffic
movement approaching normal, is
expected to relieve the situation
for the Southern Power company,
which sent our notices today to
Industrial users of power that It
might be necessary to shut off
their power one day a week, to
conserve coal. While the power
company has coal sufficient to last
only about a week, due to irregu-lar
deliveries duriug the last few
weeks, during which it was neces-sary
to use '.he four steam plants
to produce current to supplement
ths water-produced power, be-cause
of unusually low water ia
the streams ia this territory, spor-adic
reports of coal may be suf-ficient
to tide over until coal be-gins
to move over the roads io
normal-amounts.
