GOOD FOR JOHN SMITH.
Governor Smith has honored the
requisition from Governor McLean for
Hayes and Anderton, the prime mov
ers in the organization of the Fish
eries Products Company. It was this
.company that induced many farmers
to invest their all. and, in some eases
to morgage their farms, to buy stock
in that now defunct company. One
well-to-do farmer went to the poor
house and another (lied from the re
sult of* the losses sustained.
The exposure of the doings of that
fly-by-night corporation aroused the
indignation of the people of the State,
and the last Legislature directed ac
tKfn looking to protect the men who
had purchased the stock. Governor
\ McLean acted promptly ami wisely
and Attorney General Brummitt has
been diligent. It is the duty of the
State to go to every possible extent to
compel restitution and punish the
slick dealers whose glib-tongue and
rosy representation caused farmers to
x lose their savings and their farms.
Criminal prosecution will be pressed.
John Smith may yet come into his
; own.—News and Observer.
Cabarrus county people contribut
ed rather generously to the Fisheriesi
Product fompany ami anouneement
that officers of the defunct company
are to be prosecuted will come as wel
come news here.
There are two lessons to be learn
ed from this case. First. strangers ;
with promises of great dividends
should be investigated, and second,
heads of defunct companies when
i, there is apparent fraud from the be-i
£ ginning should be available to crimi
nal action. If we can convict a few:
of them iu our courts, their comrades
will become fewer in this State.

“Ol’R SUNDAY GANG” HERB.
Secretary H W. Blanks, of the €
Concord Y. M. C. A., is sponsoring the i
organisation here of “Our Sunday ’
Gang,’.’ to b ecomposed of boys be- I
tween the ages of 8 and 14 years. The 1
object of the organization is to get
the youngsters to Church and Sunday j
School at least once each Sunday. t
Mr. Blanks contends, and we agree <
with the opinion, that if he can get j
members of the organization, or even
part of them, in the habit of attending *
Church and Sunday Sobol for say. six *
months, the habit will stick and the g
city will be greatly benefitted. More c
than 75 boys were on hand for the ;
first meeting last Sunday and it is
predicted that 150 will be present Sun- l
day when the organization will be 0
perfected. **a. *
We know of nothing finer undertak- v
en by the Y. M. C. A. officials than #
this effort to get boys Into the Sun- i,
day Sehols and Churches. If they B
can be persuaded to attend Church b
it will take many from the streets n
where they spend much time on Sun- £
days now. It will take many of them b
from bad companionship and best of ’
all will lay the foundation for an
active service for the Church. H
All of the boys joining will not stick h
either to the organization or its rules, t
but if a few of them can be directed t
into the Church the movement will *
have been a success.

FOWLER WOMAN GIVES UP
FIGHT; GETS SIX MONTHS
Submits to Manslaughter After Jury
Is. Discharged—She May Be Hired
Oilt.
Monroe. Jan. 27.—Bertha Case,
alias Mrs. Bertha Fowler, charged
with the murder of Frank Fowler, her
“unwed mate." after a mistrial had
been declared and the solicitor had
announced that the woman would be
tried again at the July term of I'nion
County Superior Court, through her
counsel. John C. Sikes, entered a plea
of manslaughter, and was immediate
ly sentenced by Judge Stack to serve
six months in the Union county jail,
or to be hired out by the county
commissioners.
It is understood that her brother
in-law, a Mr. Miller, of Hamlet, will
attempt to engage her services in
order that she may be kept with her
children, of whom there are two.
Fowler’s action in feeding the baby
coffee was one of the contributing
factors and the killing, in which short
skirts, a churn dasher, a pistol, a
hammer and other household imple
ments, including a razor, played prom
inent parts. \
Judge Stack dismissed the jury at
11:40 this morning after they had
deliberated since 4:30 o’clock jester-,
day afternoon. It is understood that!
one vote was taken yesterday after- 1
noon, the result being eight for man
slaughter and four for acquittal. The
jury slept over the matter and voted
again this morning, with the result
that there were eleven for manslaught
er and one for acquittal. The jury
then reported to Judge Stuck for
further instructions, and voted again,
eight for manslaughter and four for
acquittal.
The woman told the jury that she
' shot Fowler following a quarrel in
which he had threatened her life.
A brother of Fowler, however, who
was in the home at "the time, testi
fied that the woman did not kill in
defense of her life and child, as she
had declared. Fowler before his death
■ requested that she not be prosecuted.
- and left bis estate to his son by the
woman, who is 23 years of age. I
Fowler was married to another
woman while he lived with Bearth

MORRISON IS WAITING

Former Governor Declares He is
Paying No Attention to Politics

Charlotte, Jan. 26.—Former Gov

run for the United States senate
while Senator Overman want* the
place: will not use his influence to
defeat Max Gardner, of She.by, for
the Democratic gubernatorial nomi
nation in 1928, aud has not aligned
himself with the faction said to be
trying to persuade A. M. Scgles, of
Greensboro, to enter the race for the
nomination in 1925.
Such is the gist of the facts car
ried in an editorial in the Chnriotte
News and these fkets or statements
apparently are based on direct as
sertions by the former governor in.
conversation ywith the editor of the
News. x
Mr. Morrison wants to go to the
Unted States Senate but wiH not
oppose Mr. Overman, but will run
for the Senate "if life is spared him,
when the way is opened.” /
"Mr. Morrison,’’ according to the
article “moreover, is not interesting
himself in trying to defeat Mr. Gard
ner, is not responsible for what ha*
been said to Mr. Scales/about run
ning against Mr. Gardner, tins not
even aligned himself with his Greens

announces his aspirations for the
governor’s post.
"Mr. Morrison.” it was pointed out
"is friendly to Mr. Garduer. as is
his former campaign manage-, Jus
tice Clarkson, as is also Senator
Simmons with whom Mr. Morrison
has traditionally taken political
counsel, and he understands quite
well that to array himself ngainst

be bad personal faith after wnat Mr.
Gardner has done for his administra

anything that he might attempt now

Republicans and Democrats Uniting

New York. Jan. 27. —Republicans
and Democrats marching arm-in-arm
to the polls in 1928 and voting a non
partisan ticket, with Calvin Coolidge
for President and Governor A1 Smith
for vicp president. - was pictured as
a possibility by Chauncey M. Depew
in an address today before the Pil
grims Society. He described the
present as the “most wonderful age
of non-partisanship in polities in his
70 years of experience."
“I was born in a day of party poli
tics," Mr. Depew said, "and as a lad
I I learned to shout for my ptuPy.
I march for my party, fight for 'my
. party and starve for my party, if
t necessary. What do we find today J
“A tax bill always the subject for
acute controversy and party feeling,
being passed unanimously by the
, Honse of Representatives and slated
to pass the Senate with comparative
’ ly little agitation. I think Cal Cool
idge must have studied old Ben
Franklin, for he has decided not to
go up in an airplane and view the
affairs of the nation from some God-
II like position on high, but to come
down to earth and meet the response
of the people for economy and thrift.
“And if the present general pros-'
: perity continues, if the people con
- tinue to devote themselves to busi
ness, if employment continues plenti
ful. there will be another miracle in
" 1928.”

And Michael? What would he
think when he found out that the
little Columbine, the "premiere
danaeuee of the Rue Chalgrin," aa
she had crowned herself, was noth

ions of 'Michael’s i reproachfully ar
ousing face, of Billy's sundered en
vironment, rose like red stoplights
before her inward eyes.
“The good God knows that K I
took it, it would not be for my

Whirling around, Colette found

“It’s just a little stone that a
riend of mine lost,” Colette an
jwered, nervousness making * djs
tnal failure of her attempt to be
bouchalant, “and I am taking It
back to him tonight."
“Taking It back? Oho! Well, If

I will be the messenger! But oome
bow, let me see it!”
“No, no, Emile, there is no need
to look at it.” She turned to slip
the emerald Into her stocking for
latekeeping; but Emile caught *hold
bf her with a .grip of stedl.
“You little fool!” he cried,
“When we haven't any too much
food in the house, and I'ye* been
needing money for weeks! Give

Colette struggled with desperate
•courage. But, of course, to no
iwwil. A heavy hand stifled her
attempts to scream, brute force
tore her angers apart, snatdhdd
the emerald from her. The wly
of the wildcat. was futile in the
shaggy graap of the gorilla. W
oally, with a shove and an oath,
threw Colette to the floor,
Where she lay breathless, ex

Colette felt crushed—beaten. ,
She knew that Emile's threat was I
no idle one, for once before he had j
started to take BiHy out of Paris, (
to, put him in the care of some 1
woman in the country. Colette’s j
pleading won that time. But— j
would it the next time? Emile i
realised that the boy meant every
thing to Colette; that the surest ,
way to strike at her was through i
him. Consequently 'he never ’
failed to make the most of his ace. .
But In Michael’s eyes she would j
be a thief! Undoubtedly he would ]
think that she had stolen the em- i
erald, and bestead of having • <
kindly memory of the little Colum j
bine, he would always recall hei
as a criminal —as one who had
oome into his house to dance,
laugh, and —rob him. Indeed, he |
would even', suspect that her faint- J
ing spell-fa genuine sign of her ]
undernourishment —was part of a ,
well-schemed ruse, conceived be- i
forehand and cleverly carried out
It was intolerable! Rebellious
at the injustice of it, she deter
mined to face the issue; yes, if it
eves meant losing the most prec
ious thing in her life —little Billy.
Better, that than to be branded a
common thief in the eyes of the ’
world. Why.-rirhat if Michael had i
reported ftls loss to the police aud' ]
a search dms being made for her ,
this very minute?
Creeping to the door leadir/r to j
Emile's room, she knelt down and (
pfeered through the keyhole. Her i
scoundrelly brother-in-law was J
standing by the window examining
the emerald with evident satisfac
tion. After a moment, he wrapped
it IP an old handkerchief, then
tucked it away In a drawer of hls
bureau. Carefully locking the
drawer and putting the key in his
pockot, he lay down upon the bed
and composed himself like a well
contented alley dog.
After watching him for a few l
moments, Colette crept away from J
the door and sat down to think {
: How to get the stone away from

I undoubtedly go to sleep now. Late
j in the evening he would sneak out.

“I slept some more, Aunty - —1
slept some mcjre! And now you
said that 1 could have my bon
bons,” So cried, "and then you
promised to take me in the park to
watch the funny bird 3 with the
long necks, that stand on' their
heads in the water!”
“Very well, Billy; here are the
candies I premised you—though
perhaps you'd rather them
but save them for your frifeuda, th6
Bols de Boulogne swans?”
V’Bnt can’t we take them some
bread instead?" Billy asked so anx
is|»sly that Cojette laughed and re
assured him:
“True! Eat the bonbons your
self. and I will get a bag for tbe
bread."
Looking the keyhole
once more, Colette saw that Emile
was last asleep. She inwardly
prayed that he Would remain so—
And that same means might be
given her to get into his room and
secure the emerald beforo he re
moved It.
Then she took, Billy and de
parted.
“What a glorious afternoon,'
Colette .exclaimed as they were
walking along. “Sec, the grass is
freshly green and the buds are
starting. Soon everything will be
mellow and blooming and then
what fun we'Jl have with picnics,
and. vlaHs tp the country, and whe
knows what else?"
“The real country, where the
cows live?" BiHy asked, hi 3 Httle
tape all aglow at such a prospect
"The really, truly -country where
tfce ; cow« Bve!” Colette laughingly
assured him. "One day, -Billy boy,
If tnf dree mo cone true and my
aft-castles are not tumbled tp the
ground, we will live mere Ml the
time. Then we will be awakened
in the morning by the birds, and
lulled tp sleep at night by the
wind in tbe trees.”
“Billy's pond,” as •he proudly
termed it. was duly reached and
great was Ids enjoyment as the
swans were fed. This turned out
tp h# Aired letter afternoon in his
life because for the fleet rime hls
favorite swan, a particularly large
one, h«d actually pome right up
and takdn a piece of bread out ot
hi* tiny fingers. It was an ordeal
that required herculean courage,
faht BUlr rose to the occasion lie
a man even though for a moment
he was la doubt m to whether to
ence at hla elbow.
