A flawed rumor circulates about a murder last Saturday involving Rovert N. Shirey, a local potions maker, who reportedly encountered a drunken assailant in his car. The informant offers inconsistent details and no police report confirms the event.

The report describes an altercation where Shirey avoided lethal intent, then hit by a car, and a rock thrown at the fleeing drunk who was later found by police.

The 1937–38 crop fell from 9.3 million to 5.3 million bales this year, forcing mills to rely on limited supplies and costly foreign cotton amid credit constraints and tense postwar trade.
