THOMASVILLE, Oct. 7. — Local
police are still looking for a check
flasher who displayed his art here
in somew’hat unusual manner last
Thursday, and a local woman is still
a little confused about having two
unordered loads of coal dumped into
her yard.
According to the police, the man
called at two local coal dealers and
ordered half a ton at each to be
sent to 103 West Guilford street. At
each place he produced a check made
payable to J. H. Davis by Neal F.
Fuller. One check was for $12.60 and
the other for $12.50.
Each coal dealer took the check
and gave the supposed buyer the
change above the cost of the half ton
of coal.
Later in the day a woman at 103
West Guilford street was very much
surprised to see a coal truck dump
ing a load of coal in her yard.
She went out to protest that no coal
had been ordered when along came
another truck also loaded with a
half ton of coal. The whole affair
was quite mixed up until the matter
was investigated.
Police report the flasher to be
about 30 years old, height about five
feet, eight inches, and weight about
150 pounds.
GOVERNOR HOEY
ON THANKSGIVING
In spite of the President’s procla
mation and resolutions by the mer
chants calling for the observance of
Thanksgiving on the third Thursday
in November, Governor Hoey has
settled upon the last Thursday.
“I feel very strongly about
Thanksgiving Day,” he said. “For 75
years ... the last Thuj-sday . . .
traditional day ...”
Here, mates, is a funny thing.
Thanksgiving came to be celebrated
on the last Thursday without any
particular reason. There was no
significance about the day of the
month so long as it fell after the
harvest was tucked away and some
where near the finale of the football
season.
But opposition to a third term for
Presidents of the United States, an
other tradiion, has been based on the
most cog-ent of reasons and a con
siderably longer recognition. Yet
Governor Hoey, in common with most
professing Democrats, not only con
doned the flouting of that tradition
by helping to nominate Mr. Roose
velt for another term but urges the
people generally to disregard it.
Without being at all angry about
either the third term or the third
Thursday, we are bound to state that
we don’t get this distinction between
traditions.—Charlotte Observer.
