Charles Craig Kennedy, four-years old"son of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Ken nedy. of Salisbury, was instantly killed Thursday when struck by a truck driven by Mr. R. P. Lookadoo, of Bostic. The child's father was in Bel mont on business at that time. White there Wednesday night he dreamed tha: one of his children had been tilled. He immediately wired the mother in Salisbury, asking if the children were in good health. The mother at once wrote a card, stating that they were all well and safe, and gave it to Charles to mail. As he was crossing the street to a mail box he was run over by the truck and tilled. Mr. Luck'adoo, whose home is at Bostic. was hauling material for a construction company building the Salisbury-.Alooresville highway. He said the child ran across the street into the truck and was run over by the rear wheels An investigation was ordered to be held later in the day. After hearing the facts in the case, the coroner's jury returned a ver dict that Mr. Luckadoo was entirely blameless, and that the accident was vnavoidable. RUTHERFORD COUNTY JAIL HAS ONLY FIVE PRISONERS Rutherfordton, Jane I.—The Ruth erford county jail is the nearest empty that it has been in a year, according to Jailer A. A. McFarlani. Th?re are only five prisoners in it tow, three white and two negroes. The jail has had as high as 50 pris oners. Mr. McFarland attributes the ca?h and carry system" of the re • c rd-r's court as one reason why {l >roe is being checked in Ruther ford county.

CORNCRAQKER DISCUSSES SUPERSTITION AND ILLNESS Shelby, R-5, May 27.—The read ers of The Courier will be glad to learn that I have been smitten with the scourge of sickness when t as sign that as an excuse for being re miss in my contributions. Yet such lis the case; and most of the people | regard an apology as- worse tkan the ' original offense. Most of contribu tions are an account of recent dis?- J pensations of weather with a fore- I cast of metrology for the future. Nearly all predictions for weather are based upon the changes of the mcon, and that I regard as arrant j superstition. The same as to dreams i and various other signs and portents. The moon devotees have signs gov erning every action of life, and at tach significance to every dream caus ed by dyspepsia-, I have been a vic tim of high blood pressure and hy i pertrophy of the heart for many years. My health became so serious that I underwent an operation for prostate at a Charlotte hospital. The operation was a success, but my heart and blood pressure still lin gered, and as a result I am a con firmed invalid. I was under care and treatment of one of the most skill ful and reliable doctors in Western North Carolina, but friends of var- j ious quacks, charlatans and worth-1 less nostrums and .decoctions told j me of various unfailing cures. The j foundation of them all wafe whiskey, "because it cured Uncle Silas who complained jest like you do." Upon j thorough investigation, it was learn- | ed that Uncle Silas had been trans ported to fields elysian, but thank God, he died happy and full of pop skull whiskey. Speaking of infallible signs for dreams, the night before I submitted to my operation, I had a dream that always presaged early death. I dream ed of seeing myself. Next morning the surgeons, five in number, a couple of stalwart negroes and two nurses came to put my "remains" on the infernal death cart, and con vey me to the quarters where he who enters there leaves all hope be hind. I believe not o word of tho signs and portents and expected to emerge therefrom alive and full of hope, and such was the case. Those who know anything of severity of that operation can imagine what I bad to suffer. While I recovered from my operation, a year was re quired. While at home, some three months after my hospital experience, my wife told me a big snake was in the kitchen. By the rule of all necrom ancers and dream interpreters, that was "a shore sign" of a death in the family. As I was in the most feeble condition, of course the omen would apply to me. But I resolved that if it required a death to meet the de mands of dismal prophecy, I'd see that there was another, and got my shotgun. He glided away, but as he went through a rat hole for imagin ary safety, I opened fire. I think he paid the penalty, but despite dreams and omens, I still survive. Owing to my skepticism as to plant ing corn and cotton, killing hogs, cutting timber and making soap in the moon, I am regarded as one that hath denied the faith and is worsa than an infidel. / My interpretations of the Sunday school lesson are by no means ortho dox. Who so uses accurate English hath not the fear of the Lord before his face. The language of the Sun day school must partake of the na ture of the purlieus and the livery stable, and must be delivered with a sanctimonious snuffle. We are assur ed that poor schools and ignorance both have a sweet savor in the nos- THE FOREST CITY (N, C.) CoUtiER Specializing ,n Body Building and Rebuilding—Manufacturers ot Holler Coverings, for Better Yarns; Trimming, Up holstenng, Glass Fitting; Painting i n the Various Colors. The Hewitt Auto Works, of Forest City, North Carolina, are distinctive, inasmuch as they cover a large ex panse of territory in their field of endeavor. Not only do they do all kinds of auto work, such as body building and re-building, painting, trimming, upholstering and glass fitting, but in addition they are man ufacturers of roller coverings, which produces a higher grade of yarns, a patent process, which yields much to the manufacturer of these pro ducts and has been successfully in stalled in the finest yarn mills of the South. For thirty years they have been improving on these devices until today they are an indispensible and an absolute essential adjunct to the yarn mills of the country, and es pecially so in the fields where they are best known! Mr. M. H. Hewitt, the proprietor of the Hewitt Auto Works and the roller covering plant,, ranks among our wide-awake, progressive and en ergetic citizens, always taking a prominent part in any move that will tend to help the community on to better things commercially and otherwise. The building occupied by the Hewitt Auto Works, situated im mediately across from the postoffice in Forest City, North Carolina, is a distinct credit to the city and much credit is due those responsible for its erection. This plant is the best equipped and j most centrally located auto service in this section, and possesses a repu tation for doing high-class work. Body building and re-building are a chief part of their daily routine; wreck ing service, upholstering, glass fit ting, topping, painting, ducoing, washing and polishing, are all in cluded in the daily missions of the Hewitt Auto Work force. Mr. He witt, practical and efficient in every phase of auto construction, realizing that not the first cost, but the ser vice charges make an automobile an extravagance, this concern has gain ed its popularity because it keeps trils of omnipotence. What compen sation the North Carolina teacher gets in comparison with fees of doc tors, lawyers is a very meagre stip end. But now the teacher is asked to unload in the name of economy and sweet charity. As I served on the firing line about 46 years, I know his state of opulence and grandeur. Now:, my age and infirmities pre clude my earning money, and North Carolina has no teacher pensions. But in justice to all soldiers of all wars, provision is made to provide against destitution. But the vocal patriots did not fight, but by reason of his rabid eloquence was permit ted to feather his nest. But he is a preacher of economy for the poor devils who met the Germans on the bloody fields of France and are shy an arm, a leg, or an eye. It should be ten years in the pen for any man to open his mouth about the World War who didn't serve nor offer to defend Old Glory. Now, every man who is not willing to unload half his spoils to promote good times should / T\ A She I \A/( )C7in&ffS Jlpt ' The World's Greatest and Most Successful mmnNIK JM The Goodyear Double Eagle con- The Goodyear Heavy Duty All* l U^ Ch ; a$ is further mcr^ea^d rogrooving when original design users as THE cuistandmg value ir» Who Bur the l,t T " M V#a H ° V ' LiU ' a y ° U :1 -- C " ? ~" Tc ® 3 ' 1 DOGGETT MOTOR CO * ~ FOREST CITY, N. C. HEWITT AUTO WORKS the service charge for auto owners in this community at the lowest minimum. "Let us keep your auto 111 repair and it ceases "to be an extrav agance," is the slogan of this mod ern concern. The Hewitt Auto Works has every equipment for -the care of your car, and regardless of what your car may need you will find it both feasible and financially advan tageous to consult them when your car demands attention along almost any line. They give you free exam ination and this in no wise obligates you to the company. Your car is looked over and you are told just what is needed. Their service in cludes everything from making the smallest repair to the complete re building of your car. As said before the Hewitt Auto Works have specialized in roller cov ering products for a period of thirty years, and their business along ' these lines have expanded as the ; yarn mills have come more familiar ■ with the wonderful advantages at i tained through the use of their ; "Better Yarn Equipment." If you are operating a yarn mill it will pay i you to get in direct touch with this concern and learn all about this ■ j extraordinary achievement which has ; become so popular with those who 'are now using it. Mr. M. H. Hewitt, owner and head of this enterprising firm, is a man of high standing in this community; his interest in the community, aside from his aggressiveness, has mark ed him as a public-spirited gentle man, and you can rely upon his word and advice in every business trans action. Prompt attention to business and high quality workmanship are necessary attributes to such a policy, as adapted by this firm, and is car ried out to the letter, and the writer feels sure that the public is glad t.j respond to such aggressivness as if, • daily portrayed in the business life |of the Hewitt Auto Works, one of • our industries which is a distinct I credit to the city and county and ! state. be caused to unload by the publican.

The petitions read as follows: "We, the undersigned patrons of the following post offices: Forest City, Spindale, and Rutherfordton. i desiring an earlier morning mail, we hereby petition the Post Office De partment to extend the present Star Route making connection with train No. 29 at Gastonia, N. C., at 3:45 a. m., to Shelby, N. C., to be ex tended to Forest City, Spindale and Rutherfordton, arriving at Ruther fordton about 6:30 a. m., returning with mail from these points to Kings Mountain making connection with trains going north. "We also suggest if this service is established, the present. Star Route from Spartanburg to Rutherfordton be discontinued from Caroleen to Rutherfordton which will cut that route about half. "If this service is established it will give to Rutherford County the best mail service it has ever enjoyed, giving the patrons of -the various of fices their mail at an early hour a chance to make replies on the morn ing Southern train. It will also allow the R. F. D. carriers throughout the county to leave at 7:30 or 8 a. m., instead of 9:30 a. m., giving the peo ple in the rural districts the early morning papers with a return of mails for an" earlier outgoing train at Kings Mountain or Gastonia. It will also make the proposed free de livery for Forest City, more attrac tive with the receipt of this mail at an early hour."
