FOR MURDER OF WIFE
Member Board of Commission
ers and rromineni ranua
Merchant of Chesterfield,
Held on Serious Charge
The entire county has been shocked
and horrified by tne muraer iuunuay
tvht of Mrs. Sidney Kincaid, stab
lied in the neck by her husband at
iu,.;v hnmo at Chesterfield: six miles
finm Morganton. Mr. Kincaid, who
Sv-is a member of the board of coun
f irmer and merchant, was placed in
iail shortly after the horrible deed
was committed. The death instru
ment was a short-handled knife
vhich Mrs. Kincaid kept on the back
Jporch and used to peel fruit and veg-
In former years Mr. Kincaid had
4been a drinking, reckless man, but,
idue largely, it is said, to his wife's
influence, he had apparently re
formed, and his reformation was
considered so complete that he had
won the respect" of his community,
and was elected last fall to member
ship on the county board. He was
a good business man and had accu
mulated property to the value of
'probably $30,000.
I Recently he had gone to drinking
'lffain. LUIS a. VI illUtH
inci worry to his wiie, wno was ae- i
voted to him. She worked with mm
jn the store they conducted at Ches
terfield, which is not more than .50
yards from their beautiful country
home. They had no children, but
shared the home with Mrs. Kincaid's
mother, Mrs. Bettie Davis, and an in
valid brother of Mr. Kincaid.
The neighbors and Mrs. Davis tell
that supper was prepared as -usual
Monday night and Mrs. Kincaid
went repeatedly to the store to get
Mr. Kincaid to come to the evening
meal. ''She knew he was drinking, it
is said, and for this reason wanted
to get him home. She and Mrs. Da-
vis sat on tne porcn at ine iront oi
the house waiting for him. A sales
man who wanted to demonstrate a
lighting arrangement for the house
waited for a while, but finally left.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Mr. Kin
caid came from the store. Mrs.
Davis says that he went around the
house to the back porch, and as he
did so her daughter went through the
hnll tn mppt him and cive him his
supper, saying as she went, 'un.'i
will I have to put up with drunken
ness in the home again," or words to
that effect.
Mrs. Davis heard them talking on
the back porch, and though she
could not distinguish what was said
the tones of their voices indicated
that Mrs. Kincaid was remonstrat
ing with her husband ,about drinking
again. She was attracted by' what
she describes as a gurggling sort of
noise and hurried to the porch to see
what was happening. As she reach
ed the hall door she says Mr. Kincaid
had his hands around Mrs. Kincaid's
neck, as if choking her.
She rushed to them, asking, "Sid
ney, why are you choking Lillie?"
As she pulled his hand away the I
warm Diooa gusnea on ner nana
and Mrs. Kincaid fell.
The mother cried, "You have kill
ed Lillie, Sidney."
Summoning just strength enough
to say, "No, he hasn't," Mrs. Kin
caid gasped her last.
Lvidently realizing what had hap
pened, and sobered by the realiza
tion, the unhappy man threw "him
self down beside his wife, covered
her hands and face with kisses, his
moans and screams arousing the
whole community. Neighbors were
on the scene almost immediately and
they tell that he acted like a wild
man. I hey held him to keep him
from carrying out his threats of self
destruction. He himself suggested
that the sheriff be sent for, and when
officers arrived came with them will
ingly. Tuesday he begged piteously
tor the privilege of seeing his wif e s
face just once more before she was
buried.
Solicitor Huffman is in court in
Lincolnton and is not expected home
before Saturday. The preliminary
hearing will probably not be held un
til he arrives. ' That, however, is ex
pected to be nothiner more than for
mal submission and binding over to
court.
Mrs. Kincaid's funeral was held
yesterdav morniner at Mt. Pleasant
church, Chesterfield, and in spite of
ine rain there was a large crowd
present. The services were conduct
ed by Rev. M. G. Tuttle of Lenoir.
Tuesday Mr. Kincaid had asked to
e allowed to attend the funeral but
W ednesday morning agreed . with
some of his friends that it would be
best for him hot to ero. He is said
to be in a very nervous condition.
The murderpd woman was onlv
thirty-nine, years of . age. She had
been married about seventeen years.
ir. Kincaid is fifty-three.
Tuesday morninc the knife with
which the murder " was committed
was found in the yard near the back
porcn. Ihp doctor's examination
showed the wound was not long but
(eep and that one of the main ar
teries had
I't'en cut. Tt is not-fVionalit that Mr.
Kincaid was choking his wife after
lie hflfl stri ViVinrl Vin-i. Vint tViaf a c VlP

ed, how far it is, and if there are
any detours to be made, the condi
tion of the detour.
Orders to this effect have been is
sued to the district engineers by
State Highway Engineer Charles M.
Upham. The nine district men have
been asked to submit to the chief
their notions of what the signposts
ought to look like and from among
trfe nine one design will be selected
and made standard for the whole
State. Anywhere the traveler sees
one of the signs he will know that it
is accurate and official.
With the constantly developing
streanuof automobile travel in. North
Carolina the sign posts will be of in
valuable help to the' people of the
State. No concerted effort has ever
been made to properly mark roads,
although some work in this direction
has been made' by counties. Largely

Mile posts will be added to the

be marked with a standard design of
tone markers to give the mileage. Mr.
Upham hopes to have the placing of
sign. posts well under way in the State
before the first of December. De
signs by engineers-are to be submit

GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO
CONVENE DECEMBER 6
Governor Morrison in Statement
Explains Reasons For De- -cision
to Call Session.
"The rumors abroad in the State
that there is necessity for any legis
lation with reference to the program,
of the last general assembly are ut
terly unfounded," declared Governor
Morrison in a prepared statement is
prompting himself and the council of
state in deciding upon a special ses-
sion of the legislature, to be conven
ed Tuesday, December 6, next.
"We do not want the right to sell
the bonds of this State at a higher
rate than 5 per cent," declared the
governor, ."and until the money marr
ket is such that we can sell the bonds
at this price, we will do as the gen
eral assembly ordered us to do, bor
row short-term money at ;the lowest
rate of interest obtainable J We will
have no trouble getting all the mon
ey we need in ,the meantime to car
ry out the State's program. We
have never paid over six -per cent for
any money yet, and hope we will not
have to. If it gets too high and we
cannot go. forward with our program
without paying unreasonable rates of
interest, or selling long-term bonds
at a higher , rate of interest than 5
per cent, we will stop the construc
tive program and wait until we can."
Ihe governor also took occasion m.
his statement to declare "that the
fear being expressed in a portion of
the press of the State that the gen
eral assembly will have to convene
to provide for carrying on the schools
for tl)2 coming two years is, of
course, unfounded."-
The general assembly will meet in
snecial session to provide relief for
the North Carolina municipalities
suffering from the invalidation of
the 1921 municipal finance act,
through a, clerical error, and to cure
a $700,000 deficit in the school funds
of the State.
It was the sense of the governor
and council of state that the cities,
although thrown back on the revenue
encompassed within the limits of a
10 per cent increase over that avail
able from taxes levied in 1918, can
get along very well until December
when the special session will author
ize them to bond the deficit created
or to borrow the money to meet it,
starting the slate clean again with
the" re-enacted 1921 municipal act.
The 8700,000 school fund deficit the
counties will be asked to carry by
advancing the State's share of the
fund until December, when the legis
lature can provide for' its payment.
The re-classification of the teach
ers by which North Carolina advanced
from the bottom of the list of States
to the fourteenth, is assigned by the
governor as the reason for the defi
cit, a reason for which the governor
feels no shame. The growth of the
schools and the advancement of the
teachers were just beyond the imagi
nation of the State superintendent
when he- made his estimate of ex
penses. EDITORIAL CHAIR FOR HARDING
A high backed "editorial chair,"
presented to President Harding by
more than 60,000 fellow newspaper
editors has been added to the furnish
ings of the presidential study in the

ANTI-TYPHOID CAMPAIGN
BEGAN THIS WEEK
Free Dispensaries Opened Mon
day and Will Continue Four
Weeks; Vaccination Free
Would it not appeal to the mothers '
and fathers of Burke countv if their
children between six months and six !
years of age could come to them and
say:
"Papa, we want you and mama to
save us from as much sickness as you
can because we are young and don't
know how to prevent diseases. We
want you and mama to keep your
selves well, too, for without you how
would we get along? We would have
no clothes or shoes, toys or candy.
We would be little orphans. v
"Protect our lives from diphtheria,
protect yors from typhoid fever."
The free! dispensaries which began.
m Burke county on July 18, to con
tinue for four Weeks, are made possi
ble by an arrangement between the
county commissioners and the State
Board of Health. As the protection
against these diseases are made avail
able to every person in the county,
the responsibility of sickness or death
from them is put up to the individual
and to the fathers and mothers of
the children. Central points have
been selected in every section, so
that each person, regardless of age,
race, sex or financial conditions will
be able to get what the State and
county offer to him without direct
cost.
Local physicians ask this paper to
again emphasize the fact 4hat each
treatment is harmless, causes no
sores, and very little inconvenience,
but will prevent sickness and death
from typhoid and diphtheria. Thus it
may save you, not only your life, but
also much money. In North Carolina
in the past few years, more than
three million doses of typhoid treat
ment have been administered through
co-operation with the North Carolina
State Board of Health and no ill ef
fects have been recorded. While toxin-antitoxin,
which is used to prevent
diphtheria, has not been used so ex
tensively because it was th"S last Gen
eral Assembly that made it possible
for the North Carolina State Board
of Health to offer toxin-antitoxin
treatment on the same basis that it
has been offering the typhoid treat
ment. Local physicians ask that every one
carefully bear in mind the dates, and
that you make a personal mention of.
this work to your friends. Each one
who desires the treatment should
meet the doctor DromDtlv and make

TARIFF BILL WILL BE SURE
TO AFFECT U. S. FARMERS
Proposed Duty on Imported Ni

Yearly From Them.
It appears that the farmer will be
the goat of the new tariff law. The
following news article written in
Washington, by aPrker Anderson, a
nominal Republican, and published in
the Twin City Sentinel last Saturday,
should cause the farmers of this
country to sit up and take notice:
lCongressmanBulwinkle stated this
afternoon that the proposed Fordney
tariff bill would cost the farmers of
the South Atlantic States approxi
mately twelve million dollars yearly
with the duty of $50 a ton on potash
used for fertiizer, and that this pro
tection was being made to aid the flit
tie potash mines in Utah, the freight
rate making it impracticable to ship
across the continent" .
MISS EDITH GOODWIN
IS SLOWLY IMPROVING
Miss Edith Goodwin, daughter of
Prof, and Mrs. E. McK. Goodwin, is
slowly improving from what almost
proved to 'be a' fatal accident. About
two weeks ago she was thrown .from
a horse but at the time her injuries
were thought to be of little conse
quence: Some time later she was
taken suddenly and violently ill and
for hours her life was almost despair
ed of. Dr. Long, of Statesville, was
summoned. It was found that the
fall had injured her internally and it
may take a long time for her to re
cover completely. This week "her
condition has shown steady and grat
ifying improvement, friends of the
family are glad to know.
