Lee Superior Court Adjourns Aftef Two —^ Weeks’ Tour • After a two weeks’ term Lee Superior poort adjourned last Saturday morning without having finished the civil dock et. This was, we believe, the first time n the history of Lee county that it re quired a week to dispose of the criminal locket. It generally takes about two la/B to try the criminal cases. As so nnch of the time of the court was taken ip in handling the criminal cases it was mpoasible to reach all the civil cases in >he limited time. Only one civil case of much impor tance came up for a hearing, the Susie McKay will case. The oourt was two or 'hree days in hearing the evidence in -his case, and after deliberating for 18 lours the jury failed to agree. Under ■he circumstances there was nothing -hat the judge could do but order a mis rail and have the case heard again. Judge 0. C. Lyon, who presided, was air and impartial in his rulings and nade many friends among our people. -Virile he is a judge of a deliberative uind, yet he succeeds in dispatching a aft of business in a given time. Judge ■•yon will hold a one-week civil term of ourt here beginning May 9th. Ibeiiff Rosier Brings in Two More Stilis, Making Twenty-Two in Afl Sheriff Rosser continues to let the ilockaders know that he Is still o the job and doing business at the same old stand.** Accompanied by deputy Sheriff Groce he went into the t.

The still as in operation the day before, but : o one was present when the officers • lade the raid. They poured out 300 allons of beer and brought the outfit ) the court house. The nest day, Tutsday* Sheriff Rob >r and Deputy Sheriff MoBryde, while < a a raid captured a still of about 40 j allons capacity two mlleBeast of Cam j ron near the home of Mr. J. D. Mo 1 surin. The still had been removed 1 om the furnaoe and the officers found < >e owner away on other business. A ' number of parrels were destroyed ad when the biockader returned be 1 tund that the still had disappeared e uring hla absence. If Sheriff Rosser 1 ere to permit him to "take a look’* in £ te jail he would no doubt recognize It < aaong other outfits of a. similar kind, t This makes 22 stills that Sheriff Ros if and his deputies have oaptured noe he anumed the duties of that of >e. All except the last four or five 1 iptured have been reduced to junk. 1 ad this not been done, and at the rata • aertff Rosser and his deputies are t m capturing mils, It would soon be* I me neoessary to enlarge the jail to t ake room for them. t Miss Pauline Allred, of Ramseur, me down this week-to see Mr. J.

' -Destructive Fun at Southern Pines i. , .?Koothern Pines, April 18 —A fire, originating about 2 o clock tbit morning, supposedly from the heat-, jog plant of'the Perkins hotel or Windham’s land office, wiped olit the major,portion of the main busi ness biock of the town. Nine build ings, owned by R, E. Wiley, L. W Perkins, H. A. Lewis ; andJ. 8. was partially covered by insurance. There was little saved. The tele phone operator, Miss Eva Payne, stayed by the phone, sending oat warnings, while, the rear bnilding! burned. She was removed at last by force. The Southern Pines, Pine hurst and Carthage fire departments rendered heroic service. Dr. W. P. 8watt, a well known physician, died of heart failure while arousing inmates of the Southland hotel. Mr. Ferguson, of Pinefanrst, was injured while fight ing the flames. Uowe’B jewelry store, Lewis' mar ket, Home Famishing Company, Perkins hotel, Windham’s land office, Eddy’s art studio and Thomas Cameron’s clothes shop were the principal business concerns destroy ed. A Traveling Legion Post Maintaining contact with the main body of the American Le gion by native runners, a travel ing post of the Legion is today moving through the jungles of Portugese West Africa. The post is the first on the Dark Con tinent and its establishment leaves Australia as the only con tinent which has not been pene trated by the Legion. Twenty three explorers for oil. headed by Robert H. Wamsley, fell to discussing the war on the trail out of Loar.da, Angola and it was discovered that 11 of the number were ex-service men. Wamsley communicated with ikron, O. Post of the Legion, which arranged to obtain tbe: lecessary papers from National Headquarters to establish the Vfrica post. The explorers will emain in the wilds for three rears. Meeting of Nunes A meeting of tbe Seventh District ulreee’ Association was held in the fommerical Club rooms in this place on .pnl 5th.

Pe was from Columbia township, a <hi of one of the best citizens of hat township, J. A. StoUt. He worked then at tho customary lalary paid for such work about What an ordinary clerk now a-days pastes and burns up in high priced "igarg like some of our young fel bwa, smoke who do not try to meet hmr bills when due. Toung Stout *aa not afraid of work and he saw |ip money for him working in the hade at a small salary when he jlould learn to lay brick and earn lore in two days than keeping tore for a week, ^ So to brick laying he devoted -himself and took advantage of every Opportunity. It was not long until he had learned so much about build 4»g he not only could build any -*W of a brick building, but could bUiid any kind of house or building that any body could build. % Stout became a contractor, and read the following which recently appeared in the Sanford Express about one young man who was pot afraid to work, who went to Sdn f$rd, N; C., several years ago and is one of the most if not the most in fluential busmeea man in that sec tion of the state: £The stockholderh of J.

The work of repairing the church was discussed and committees appointed to solicit funds to car ry on this work. During the social hour delicious refresh ments were served. The frost Monday night did much damage to the dewberry crop in and around Jonesboro. On account of the unusual warm spring weather the berries are blooming ten to fifteen days earlier which caused the damage to be greater. The New York Glee Club gave an entertainment in the graded school auditorium last Thursday night to a full house. This was the last number of the Lyceum course which the people have been enjoying during the past winter. The hearty applause that greeted the rendeiing of every number on the program showed the appreciation of the audience. In fact, every enter’ tainment of the entire course has been highly pleasing and the citizens hope that another series of entertainments will be secured for another year. Republican Tax Plan. The revenue bill to be adopted as early in the Harding administration as it can be put through will repeal the excess profits tax; reduce the sur tax maximum from 73 to 40 cents; repeal the transportation tax and that part of the luxury tax known as the “soda water” tax. These changes in the revenue law will lose to the Federal treasury, it is estimated, about $50,000,000 annually < To go about making up this deficit— * because it must be made up in some ^ manner—it is proposed to increase the normal corporation earnings tax by 5 per cent., making it 15 instead of 10 per cent; also to eliminate the $2,000 exemption now allowed corporations _ It is estimated that these will bring in revenue approximating $450,000,000 ind the remainder of the defiecit, it is igured, will be made up of increased duties to be lived at the customs Frost Damages Fruit and Berries It seems that the heavy frost Monday light did considerable damage In this lection. Vegetables, such, as beans, rleh potatoes and other thlng9 that vere up were badly damaged. Grapei vhlch were in bloom were killed.
