PROHIBITION HELPS HERE. The United States Department of Commerce has recently compiled sta ' tistics on crime in North Carolina, 1 the figures showing, it is our conten tion, that prohibition has been a blessing to the State. At any rate j there have been fewer persons in pris on since he prohibition law has become effective and this law has been re sponsible for the change, it seems. Our jails are not filled as they once were and our prisons have fewer inmates, i According to the preliminary re- j port there are fewer persons in pris- [ ons. according to population in North j Carolina than any other State except f Mississippi. In 1910 the prison per centage for North Carolina was 122 l>er 100.000 whereas it was only 102 1 per 100,000 in 1923. This decrease, \ it would seem, is directly attributable | to the effect of Prohibition in the State where the dry sentiment is rec ognized Us being especially strong, ev en by the wets. The Winston-Salem Journal ac cepts the figures as abundant evidence as to the influence of prohibition, re- ] marking in this connection that “the j vital relationship exist ng between the ( sale of whisky and crime was clearly established before the passage of the Volstead Act ami the change of the j country from wet to dry iu the in- j terim of the two sets of figures, in the absence of any other apparent and j adequate cause, seems to be undenia- 1 ble evidence that Prohibition has brought\ about the 10. S per cent, do- , ’ crease in crime in North Carolina j which the report indicates.” The Committee of One Hundred I , like Vance’s fish, seems to have • “sWunk” somewhat. PREPARING NORWOOD’S APPEAL FROM PENALTY x . Attorneys Making Up Bulky Docu ment for Man Sentenced to Serve Three Years. Greensboro News. Exception to the appeal of attor neys for J. D. Norwood from a three vear sentence in the federal prison at Atlanta 'has been made by Frank A. Linney. district attorney, United States court, western North Caro lina district, and attorneys here for Norwood . are inow' engaged in per fecting life appeal. It is a laborious task. Some time ago attorneys for Mr. Norwood, who was ' convicted on charge of violating the national bank ing law at the December term of federal district court here, filed ex ceptions as part of the appeal and the document was a voluminous one. However, the district attorney ob jected that all the testimony was not in the hill of 'exceptions. The trial lasted for about a week airtl testimony was in large amount, j However, the district attorney’s call for all of it. and that means copying the exhibits offered as evidence. It will be a bulky document that will go to the United States circuit court of appeals, which will pass upon the appeal. Norwood, who formerly lived in Salisbury, was chairman of the board of directors of the People’s National Bank when it failed on June 8, 1923. He was also president of the Meck lenburg Mills Company, which also went broke that year. The bank was found with a large amount of Meck lenburg mills’ paper and Norwood was tried on charge of violating the national banking law. He was tried alone first and a mistrial was the re sult. Then he was tried jointly with J. K. Doughton. who was president of the bank when it failed. Dough ton won a directed verdict of ac quittal. while Norwood was convict ed and sentenced by Judge H. H. Wat kins, of the western district of South Carolina. United States court, to serve three years in the federal pris on at Atlanta. Judge Watkins was presiding over the trial, having ex changed terms with the regular judge of the district, E. Yates 'Webb, of She’, by. Norwood now lives m Birmingham. Ala., where he is a business man. Mastodoas in Arizona. Two new mastodons and a new glyptodont. the fossil bones of which were found in rocks in Arizona, are described in a report jflst fesued by the I . s. geological survey. Several l years ago numerous vertebrate fos «ils were discovered in Kan Pedro I valley near Benson. Ariz.. by Kiik I Bryan. Later J. W. Gidlcy ~f t |„, j national museum co-operated with I Bryan in making a large collection |of thme fassi’e. Among the large imi- I mats iu this fauna are two elephant like mastodons and a peculiar iarmored mammal, a glyptodont, re lated to the modern armadillo. The skeleton of one of the mastodous has been mounted after the restoration of the missing parts and forms a striking exhibit in the national museum at Washington. The total length of the mounted skeleton is about 14 feet. A very effective mount has ulxo been made of the glyptodont by using parts of three individtin’s. Its huge carapace, wlpch resembles u turtle shell, is over five feet long. Takes Her Husband Bark to Chain- gang. ! Greensboro, May C.—The wife of Jake May.

Marie, tasting suc cess, puts him off. Three years she lives with Bally, her chum, a gay life. She invites Clifford to her ■ birthday party and revenges her self by making a fool of Mm in front of the guests. John, an un announced visitor, blunders unseen Within earshot, but mistakes Marie's kidding of Clifford for realism. CHAPTER Xl—(Continued) A few steps away was the dark window to the alcove. The group was already surging through the other window, onto the landing and etalrs, surrounding Clifford, who was trying to make his way down. Marie took a tew steps along the balcony to the other window, flung I herself through it and sank Into a chair, burying her taco In her hands. For a full minute she sat thus, ; heavy at heart over her poor little revenge, ashamed, nauseated by the loud voices and heated faces. Some quality in the darkness made ] her feel at last that she was not I alone. She raised her face to a ghostly form In the chair opposite, tvith white face watching her. She opened her mouth for a scream, and it failed to come. She could only breathe: “What Is It? Who?" No answer. She rose, half expecting ghostly hands to pull her back, feeling for the switch on the wall. There was light. And she saw John, motion less, with grim lips, staring at her. She fell into her chair. It was enough for her just to look at him, ft Her father had dragged her in side. John, Just as she remembered him. And how he had come there, and why he had come there, she did not even question. A little smile trembled about her lips. She took a full and hap py breath, recovering herself. “So, It’s you, John I Why didn’t you tell me—write me—oh, there ire a million things I want to ask. John, dearl You had to come to me, didn’t you? It’s a dream. Come he:-e, I want to feel If It’s a dream.” ‘'Dreams!" she smrted at the harshness of his voice. "What do you know about them? You’re a great actress!” Marie gave him a clear glance. There was a little amusement in it, too, and rising excitement To think that John had come out of the air, like this, was sitting before her, and had still the power, /wfllch (he had half suspected, to rouse this excitement In her. "Oh, no,” she said gently, Tm not a great actresn. You know better than that I’m Just Marie. I've had a rotten time, John; It’s been fun too, but It’s been mostly tot ten. 1 never knew how jnuch I wanted to tell everything to you— Just as I used to ” "I don't want to hear your—your secrets,” cried John, rising. "I can guess. I've seen.” "You’ve seen. What do you mean by that?” "You and Clifford Dudley—these drunken people ” "Oh, poor Clifford Dudley—that’s nothing " “No, I suppose It's nothing to yon. You’ve kissed so many men and laughed at them that one snore ” “Look hete, John, you don't know anything about that ft was a Joke —a—oh, don’t be silly and foolish and Jealous, dear.
