that the condition of rural people \

. Dental Parlors Are e
Robbed of Valuables t
Dr. J. M. Gaither, local dentist, o
has posted a rewaid in the sum of a
$50 for the delivery and conviction u
of the man who on last Thursday si
robbed his office of bridge work, tl
gold and platinum to the galne of
perhaps $800. Dr. Gaither has a tl
complete description of the person o
who stole his supplies, but thus far b
has been unable to apprehend him. It
The man had been to the office) o
A ?;.... .1.- A..,. i 1 ; '
tuc uov niiM uau an autim- '
nation and asked for estimates on
different items of dental work. He tl
was given an appointment for the o
next day. and Dr. Gnither went, to t>
supper. While he was gone, however, j ti
the nurse returned to the office ami j A
called him up to extract a tooth for' w
a youth who lives in the neighbor- V
hood- Before toe doctor arrived, how- st
ever, Miss Cryder left the office for ci
a few minutes, and the boy with the h
toothache was the only witness to tl
the reappearance of the earlier vis-1 o
iter. Before Dr. Gaither arrived the) g
stranger told the young patient that! T
he was going to look for some work p
he was having done theve. and pro- j ci
ceeded to go through the dental C
equipment in the next room. The I
Doctor missed his valuables soon aft- f
er he returned and the local boy told h
him of the occurrences. 1 :>
Because Dr. Gaither happens to
ha> e a thorough description of the f;
jfjt man in question, he has more than a
banal hopes of bringing him to the si
bar of justice. f'

"Poss" Foster Climbs i j
POn the Water Wagon j'
J. M. "Poss" Foster, of Blowing J
Bock, charged with public drunkenness^
was placed on good behavior
for two years hy Judge A. M.
fttsrlr in Superior Court Tuesday.
-Poss" came directly to The Dem- J"
oorat office, and asked the local j!
news editor to announce that from h
now on "old 'Poss' is through with "
' -all intoxicants from 'home bureau' '
to liquov, for 'yea, verily, it biteth *
like a serpent and stingeth like an i,
adder.'" *
"Poss" Foster in days gone bv ?!
bap, by his own acknowledgement, J.
imbibed freely of the forbidden
fluid. He has been in the toils of I "
the law at various limes (always ,
on account of drink), but this is J
the first time that "Poss" ever '
signed the pledge or reserved a ?
seat on the water wagon. But
from now on, if you would be- ?
lieve his words, he intends to close- '
ly observe divine law, turn a deaf
ear to the wooings of Satan and
to shun the very appearance of evil. ;
i The "village wag" of Blowing j

decision, but. he did intimate that

With Judge A. M. Stack presiding

viui cornered Monday morning al
o'Clpck. The criminal dhckel
is exceptionally light. and was dis
sod of Tuesday evening, lienor!
Ikes, illicit liquor a n d affray
avyes principally composed the cal
dar, no major cases being tip f<>i
al a? this term.
Judge Stuck in his charge to th<
and Jury stressed impartiality, del
uing that the purpose of the law
is to give justice alike to "the rich
d the poor, the Mack and th:
lite, the weak and the otropgt" H(
iled attention to the prevailing
imam that a rich man is favored h\
' statutes, and expressed the he
f that this vein of thought haused
great many to lose then
-ncet for the courts.
The jurist presented statistics tc
pv that- North Carolina has <

the fact that sympathy for you ny
fenders, and pity tor men of rep
ation has caused a laxity in tin
forcemeat of the law as it is writ
ii. He advised a speedy trial foi
fenders, as is guaranteed by th(
institution, and suggested that the
xl Genera! Assembly enact a law
oviding for an officer in each
unty whose duty it would he tu
thor evidence and assist the State
prosecutions. The salary of this
ficer, he stated, could be charged
offenders, a part of the Solicitor's
being converted to this use.
' A youth who can commit a man's
rnc should be subjected to a man'c
nishment," Judge Stack continued
d warned the jurymen to considei
ill the evidence against the juvee
offender. It is his belief thai
3 much consideration has beer
own young men who have fallen
:o the toils of the law, and hor
ten them a wrong impression of tht
iouancss of their offenses.
The first hour of the session wa:
ten over to report cases- The cast
ainst Otis Watson, charged with
> brutal murder of Andy Johnson
ar Deep Gap more than two vearr
o, was brought to the Judge's atotion,
and he advised the county
offer a suitable reward for his
prehension, which would be douid
by the State, and that Watson
outiaw-ed. "When you offer a re
ird for a man, dead or alive, you
nerally get results," stated Judge
ack.
The principal civil case to come
at this term is the retrial of the
se of linaka and City National
ok of Johnson City vs. John f.owis
a wife, Madge Lewis. The case
tolves the possession of two autocides,
city property in Bljwinc

Mrs. Z. T. Greene of the Poplar

and told of the unusual damages resulting
from the heavy hail storm of
last Tuesday in her settlement. The
I stones fell in such quantities, says
Mrs. Greene, that she froze ice cream
with them on the following Thursday,
and it would have been possible
to have shoveled up a wagon load oi
the ice. The stones were said to have
been almost as large as hen eggs anci
| cabbage, corn, beans and other grow
vr scnuusiy damaged
The scope of the storm, however, was
not so widespread, but the destruc
Hon in its path Was almost complete
in so far as small crops were con
|cerned.

; "I sent one of these beets to ;

1 "and this is the report they Rave j
me: 'Sugar content A3 per cent.;

Mi. Gragg concluded his scien- !

Fox Hunters Must
Procure Licenses
.;Jff
Warden H. Grady Farthing asks
the Democrat to state that fox
hunters who wish to follow the sport
this fall and winter will have to procure
licenses just the same as those
who hunt with guns. Mr. Farthing
also desires to correct a false rumor
lhat has been going the rounds to
the effect that he has given permission
for the ruthless destruction of
foxes. The State Came Department
has given permission to farmers
whose chicken roosts have been molested
by the sly creatures to kill
them, but Mr, Farthing believes this
rule should be restricted as much as
possible;?
