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.
