WOMAN PLEADS CASE
FOR ALLEGED KILLERS
Mbs Covington Argues That Anson
Deputy Was Shot by Fellow Of
ficer.
Monroe, Jan. 20. —With the ques
tion arising as to \v'io killed George
Faulkner. An Hon county deputy, ~at
a liquor still on January 10th, wheth
er it was the negroes at the still or
his fellow officer, Herbert Lowery,
and with the appearance for the first
time of a woman to plead at the
Union county bar, the ease of State
against Tom Harrell and Jonah
Marsh, the negroes at the still, on trial
for their lives, aroused unusual in
terest in Monroe today.
Tiie evidence ns given by witnesses
in the case was that on the morning
of January 10th Deputy George
Faulkner took with him Herbert Low
ery into the woods on the Union-
Anson line to watch a liquor still.
They concealed themselves in a pine
• top some distance from the still to
watch Tom Harrell, who came and
fired up the still and then walked
around to see if any one was watch
ing. Approaching the pine top, he
saw the officers and started away.
The officers pursued. They called
halt, and Tom ran.
Tiie officers followed with Lowery
a little behind and to the left of
Faulkner, Faulkner fired his pistol,
and the fleeing negro fired back as
•he ran. Lowery fired his pistol
three times, and on finding that he
was leaving Faulkner, turned back to
find him dead from the effects of a
bullet wound, the billet entering to
the left in the back of his head and
coming out above the left eye.
At the trial the prosecution was
represented by John C. Sykes, Vann
and Millikcn and the •sft.Hqjtar. For
the defense, the court appointed Love
and Covington and Judge R. B. Red
wine. Miss Mary Covington appeared
for her first time to plead at the bar.
In language of simple words, yet easy
running and rythmieal with not the
slightest evidence of stage fright. Miss
Covington addressed the jury for 45
minutes. She set up the contention
that Faulkner died at the hands of
his fellow officers.
Statesville 43 Miles Neater Wash

Statesville Dally.
It will be noted from the review of
the old list of postoffices, already
published in this paper, that the dis
tance from Washington to States
ville 100 years ago was given as
403 miles. Today, by rail, the dis
tance is only 360 miles. In other
words we are,43 miles nearer Wash
ington than we were 100 years ago.
A few hundred years more and the
two cities will be right together.

A Little Flurry About the Name of
the New Hotel.
The Uplift.
An expression of county enterprise
and county pride is about to become
a real thing in the form of a most
splendid hotel building, which has
taken form in our midst. It’s a credit
to the town and county.
A little flurry has started, arising
over the proper naming of this hostel
ry. Some have even become alarmed
and excited. The women are assert
ing what they conceive to be their
rights and insist on naming the new
hotel in such away as to emphasize
some history connected with the coun
ty. They are right. Hotel Concord,
Concord, N. C., lacks variation and
becomes montonous.
One correspondent, meeting the ar
gument of another who insists on sav
ing the foreigner the torture of try
ing to pronounce “Cabarrus,” is cer
tain that foreigner would call it
“Konk-ord” were it named Hotel Con
cord. Were this tine new hotel named
Stephen Cabarrus, it would not be
long before everybody would learn to
pronounce it correctly and learn to
know the patriotic act, which required
some courage, of this distinguished
gentleman whom we Should be glad to
honor.
Meet me at The Stephen Cabarrus
for a conference, or better, for lunch!
Alfred Luther Brown.
The Uplift.
The Uplift takes much pleasure in
the privilege of reproducing the ap
preciation of Alfred Luther Brown,
by Mr. Wm. M. Sherrill, associate
editor of the Concord Tribune.
Among the hundreds whom this
writer had the privilege of numbering
among his pupils, in the long ago,
none stand out more conspicuously in
that mental picture than A. Luther
Brown. The little eight-year-old fel
low in knee pante sometime barefoot
ed, was always prompt and tidy—just
an expression of an ideal home train
ing, not the miserably faulty modern
delegated training now so much in
vogue—and he gave promise of suc
cess by the manner in which lie ap
plied himself to his duties. We can
see young Luther yet as he wrestled
with (he multiplication table—but the
ginger and pep then revealed what
his attitude would be In .wrestling
with manhood’s problems.
The Uplift reproduces this appre
ciation of Mr. Brown, richly deserved
as it is and pleasing to a longstand
ing friendship, for the chief reason to
point to the efficacy of fine ' home
training, the wisdom and profit in be
ginning at the bottom,- the necessity
of a courage to tackle hard problems,
the disposition to accept the advice
of superiors and the quality of depen
dability—these were Luther Brown’s
hand maidens.
Stanley Ketchel was one boxer
who often found it difficult to get
bouts as promoters and managers
feared he would kill opponents in
Dm ring.
ROW OVER READING
BIBLE IN SCHOOLS
Board’s Hearing in Uproar When
Rabbi Declares Christian God Is
Not Jews’ God.
New York World.
Tiie Ten Commandments were the
subjects of lien ted debate yesterday at
a public hearing held by n special
commmittee of the board of education
on the proposition submitted by repre
sentatives of the Protestant, Jewish
and Catholic faiths that the Decalogue
be rend to t'.ie pupils of the public
schools once a week by the principal
or designated tencher.
The resolution was introduced, they
said, with the idea that the proper
ground of the child in the Alosaic law
will help to check the crime wave and
do aWay with brigandage.
Wliat was started by Aliss Helen
AlcCbrmick, president of the Catholic
Big Sisters of Brooklyn, was carried
to an almost riotous height by Rabbi
Emeritus Joseph Silverman, of Tem
ple Emnmi-El, who appeared in oppo
sition to the resolution. The meeting,
which had started with a mere hand
ful, ended with the chamber packed
to the doors and the session ended
only when caretakers of the building
implored the arguing, gesticulating
groups to depart.
Pastor Boeder Protests.
Rabbi Silverman took his listeners
entirely by surprise. When he de
clared ‘ that to teach the decalogue
was to inaugurate teaching of Juda
ism in the schools, because “the Com
mandments are part of the Jewish
creed,” there was immediate opposi
tion to his continuing his speech, and
when he said, “We have the Alessiah
and you have other gods and the
Christian God is not the Jewish God,”
the heated argument started. When
he added “you can’t teach Jesus, if
you teach Jehovah,” up jumped Dr.
Charles W. Roeder, pastor of the
Flatlands Reformed Church, declar
ing, “I protest; this in an insult to
us.” ,
Arthur S. Somers, one of the four
menjbers of the board on the commit
tee, heatedly backed up Dr. Roeder
with a similar declaration, adding:
“I hope Rabbi Silverman will not
say again we worship other gods. I
worship but one God and recognize the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.”
Then followed a general argument
participated in by Catholics, Protest
ants, Jews, Atheists, Freethinkers,
Ethical Culturists, Security Leaguers
and others. Aliss McCormick insisted
the rabbi should sit down because he
had “said enough.” Rabbi Silverman
said he wanted "fair play.” He Bhout
edl
“You won’t put an end to erbrii ly
teaching little children the Ten Com
mandments. They are not gunmen
or hold-up men. The crime wave
needs a Theodore Roosevelt at the
head of the city police. The mailed
fist is the only thing the gunmen un
derstand.”
Rabbi Continues Speech.
Aliss McCormick asked that the
rabbi be not permitted to continue,
but he went on:
“If you teach Judaism in the
schools you must also teach Moham
medism, atheism, Christianity, Budd
hism and all other religions. This is
a dangerous proceeding, to teach a
code of ethics based on theology.”
Then he started to read the Com
mqmlments.
“We know the decalogue,” Dr.
Roeder yelled at the rabbi.
“That’s it, you don’t know them,”
the rabbi shot back. “What you all
here want to do is to drive the teach
ing of evolution out of the schools.”
Air*. Margaret McAleenan, chair
man of the committee, interrupted the
remainder of the speech by telling the
rabbi hi* time was up, and while still
protesting his right to read the Com
mandments, he sat down. Later,
however, he was allowed to read both
versions of the decalogue, one from
Exodus and the other from Deuteron
omy. Order had been about restored
when Frederick Boyd Stevenson, of
the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, got up to
speak. He threw the meeting again
into confusion when he declared:
“There should be no objection to
this resolution except by pagans and
infidel*.” •
Deny They Are Pagans.
"We object; we’re neither pagans,
nor infidels,” was shouted from all {
over the room, and Joseph Griffin, i
principal of public school No. 114, on
Olive Street, rose and objected to the .
remark. He also said he was against
the reading of the Commandments in
school— that it should be done in the |
homes of the children.
Mr*. Granllla Black, of the Nation-!
al Security League, objected to the 1
resolution because of the command
ment. “Thou Shalt Not Kill,”
"When your country is invaded.”
she said, “the invader must be killed.”
ESTATE OF JAMES B. DUKE
ESTIMATED AT $75,000,000
Announcement Made on the Senate
Floor by Senator Smoot.
Jonathan Daniels in Raleigh News
and Observer.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The estate
of the late James R. Duke, tobacco
and power magnate and creater of
the Duke Foundation, is estimated at
$75,000,000 by his executors, accord
ing to an announcement made on the
floor of the Senate by Senator Smoot,
chairman of the finance committee.
The question of the Duke estate
was brought up in the Senate by Sen
ator Howell, of Nebraska, in the
course of debate on he repeal of the
federal estate tax. Senator Howell
said that he understood the estate
was valued at around $150,000,000
and that it would net $100,000,000.
Senator Smoot stated that newspaper
reports of the value of the estate were
inaccurate.
Senator F. M. Simmons stated in
the course of the debate that under
th> 1024 law the federal government
would collect an estate tax from the
Duke estate of around nine million
dollars and that the inheritance taxes
in the seven states in which he had
property would be about $3,000,000.
North Carolina, Senator Simmons
said, will not get as much as $300,-
000 in taxes from the estate.
l ? nder the credit clause of the pres
ent federal law, the amount paid by
the Duke estate to the several states
could be deducted from the federal
tax, making the net collection by the
government $0,000,000.
The federal tax on the Duke es
tate under the finance committee com
promise would be just half what it
is under existing law.
A Bad Hold Condition.
Hickory Record.
One of the most astounding stories
we have heard in a long time came
from Mr. Lowery, lessee of the new
Hickory Hotel gnd part owner of the
Hotely Huffry, when he spoke before
the meeting of the stockholders of the
new concern last night He said that
several days ago the Huffry filled
every room and the manager got in
his car and ppaced nbout 20 travel
ing men in various boarding houses
in the city. He then sent a porter
to meet the midnight train and' tell
all travelers who happened to get off
that there was not room in Hickory
for them. The porter met five men,
and urged them all to get back on the
train and go to some other city for a
few hours sleep.
This is not what one might call
desirable publicity, but since the new
hotel will be completed within a few
months we may brood over the condi
tion a while. Think of actually not
having room to accommodate five
traveling salesmen in Hickory 1 Turn
ing them away, driving them from
the city! We have never heard the
equal of that story. If Hickory needs
anythings worse than it needs that
new hotel we would like to know what
it is.
And in this connection let us urge
every one to settle their unpaid stock
as soon as possible.

the last issue of State School Facts.
This table covers the large type rural
elementary school having seven
teachers or more during 1924-1925.
With nine schools and 93 teachers,
there was an average of 32.7 pupils
per teacher, and a day cost of a lit

the schools in the county, 690 per
cent are rural elementary and the
attendance shows 74 per cent of the
enrollment.
These figures show how rnpidly
