Author of "Row to Win Frienda and Influence People PACIFYING AN ENEMY Not long ago Cameron Shipp, an editor of "The Charlotte News," Charlotte, North Carolina, tobk his vacation back in the mountains of Macon County, North Carolina. It was his first visit among the mountain peo ple, and he didn't realize they had a code of ethics all their own. He saw a mountaineer brought in for trial. The state claimed that this mountaineer had set fire to the woods. With him came his friends and relatives ready to fight at the drop of the hat. Some had walked 20 miles over the mountains. The evidence heard, the moun taineer was found guilty; sen tenced to the chain gang. His fiery daughter was present. Shej bristled. So these city slickers! were going to put her pappy in the chain gang, were they? Well, nobody was going to touch her daddy without a fight. Two deputy sheriffs brought the old man out of jail and started him toward the car which was to haul him off to the chain gang. The girl rushed up to the sheriffs and pleaded with them to turn her father loose. Of course the sheriffs couldn't! She saw red. Her father going to the chain gang! The bullies! She implored'them to free her father. Again they refused. Then she went into action. She pounded the men.

Then she proudly marched the old man down thb road to freedom. Cameron Shipp saw this dra matic bit of mountain chivalry and wrote a piece about it for the newspaper. A few days later the town was full of mountaineers. Somebody had found the piece and read it to them. And marching at the heard of the mountaineers was the indignant daughter. 'So the newspaper had made fun of her pappy, had it? Cameron Shipp heard her de mand the name of the man who wrote the article. She meant business. And so did her rela tives. Shipp was frightened for a moment. Should he run? No, he decided to go out and face the girl and make her see his point of view. A tough assignment! "I am the man who wrote that piece," he said to her. "I wrote it because I admire you. We need more girls like you—girls who will fight for their parents. lam proud of you and I wanted to tell everybody about your fighting spirit. You've got backbone — and courage; and that is what this country needs today." The lighting look passed from the girl's eyes. Here was some body who appreciated her point of view. "I want to tell the whole state THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA ItV Spring In Philadelphia 74 Ip| . - ¥' ' sEk 1 ' ■EI ll|§'"/ & |g||PP|||g|jjMp||^ PHILADELPHIA, Pa. ... A quartet of dancers makes a pretty picture as thoy went through their routine on the broad steps of the Phila delphia Museum of Art. of North Carolina about you," said Shipp. "I want to write an article about you for Asheville and fealeigh papers." This girl who came in to fight him and scratch out his eyes, was beaming now. "If you put it in them papers, could you git me copies? she asked. Shipp had won the good will of an enemy by giving her appre ciation. In almost any situation, if you tell another something you like about him, it will do more for you than almost anything else. Was a Pity The elderly English lady was talking over matters and express ing her approval of the League of Nations. "I think,' she said, "it is a pity to have so many for eigners in it!" In 1939, 64,978 letters reached the dead letter office and they contained $84,407.18. YADKIN WINNER OF POWER SUIT (Continued from Page One) demn private property for public uses," Justice Stacy wrote. "It is for the General Assembly to say whether, in the particular case or under certain conditions, the power shall be enlarged to em brace public property and prop erty devoted to a public use . . ." The chief justice also held that the Yadkin, or Pee Dee river "ap peared to be" a non-navigable stream, and that High Point ex ceeded its authority in agreeing to abide by conditions imposed in a federal power commission li cense to construct the dam. "The federal power commis sion is not a party to the pro ceeding, and the validity of its license is not an issue," he wrote. "The inquiry goes only to the. au thority of the city of High Point to agree to abide by its terms and conditions." Total of $760 Taken As Safe Is Drilled (Continued from Page One) checks,and two notes, one for SIOO and the other for $60.00 An immediate investigation was made by Policeman Corbett Wall and State Highway Patrolman Lee Phillips, who summoned a fingerprint expert from Raleigh. Numerous fingerprints were ob tained from the safe, but insofar as is known have revealed no clue as to the identity of the thieves. An examination of the safe door revealed that it had not been blown with nitroglycerin, as was first supposed. The examination also revealed that the robbers had first attempted to drill into the safe at a point to the right of the combination dial. However, the hole was on the left side, be tween the dial and the safe handle. The hole was drilled exactly where it would do the most good. Entry to the store was through the rear door, a pipe wrench or some other tool having been used, it is believed, to twist the lock of the door sufficiently for it to be opened. This door, of a type which opens upward through use of springs and counter-bal ancing weights, was open about four inches when the robbery was discovered, it was said. Officers declined to state whether they expected a break in the case any time soon. DUNCAN TO PREACH ON SPECIAL SUBJECT Sunday at the 11 o'clock hour of worship at the Methodist church the pastor, Rev. Herman P. Duncan, will preach on "Home Furnishings in Morality." The topic is in' keeping with a youth movement which is being spon sored through the local Kiwanis club, with a special emphasis on boys and girls in the home. F*v. L. B. Abernethy, a former pastor of the church, will preach at the evening service at 7:30. At the mid-week service on Wednesday of next week stereop ticon slides on the Mission Work of the Methodist church in Brazil will be shown. The church extends a cordial invitation to the public to at tend. TWO SUFFERING FROM GUNSHOT WOUNDS Mrs. Gertie Key, 26, wife of Howard Key, of near Dobson, is in the Elkin hospital for treat ment of gunshot wounds in her left leg between the knee and ankle, and Arnold Key, 20, of the same neighborhood, is being treated for wounds in his arm 1 and side, alleged to have been ih» flicted by Howard Key, said to be the woman's husband, Sunday afternoon at their home. The wounds were said not to be serious. So far as is known no ' action against Howard Key has | been taken. HONOR YADKIN WOMAN ON HER 74th BIRTHDAY The children and a number of relatives of Mrs. A.

Probe in Death Of Negro Ended Investigation into the instant death of Alien Glover, 24, who was killed near Reavis filling station two miles south of Brooks Cross Roads Wednesday morning, has come to a halt, after both re maining negroes who occupied the liquor laden car said Glover was driving the car when it went out of control and threw him against a "tobacco pack house while the car was being chased by Darwin Hayes, an Iredell county deputy sheriff, and Ralph Albea, his companion. Roosevelt Allridge, also of Win ston, was seriously injured and Sylvester Grant, the third occu pant of the car, was arrested Thursday in Winston-Salem by Sheriff A. L. Inscore and placed in Yadkin jail. Coroner R. V. Long said if Glover, the dead negro, was driv ing the car his investigation was at an end. Coroner Long and Sheriff In score said they, did not know why the Iredell county deputy was Thursday, chasing cars in Yadkin county. Early arrivals at the scene said 10 of the five-gallon cans con taining liquor were burst. It was not learned what went with the other two cans. Good of Drivers.
