FRANK STONE
KILLED, JIM JOHN
SON WOUNDED
Shooting Affray in Western Part of
bounty Results Fatally for One
Other Combatant fit Hospital.
In a shooting match which took
Place at the house of a certain wo
man in the western portion of the
county Saturday night, Frank Stone
.received bullet wounds from which
he died almost instantly, while Jim
Johnson was badly wounded and had
to be taken to a hospital in Fayette
ville for treatment. He was brought
to Lillington Monday by Sheriff Mc
.Artan'and placed in Central Harnett
Hospital. Johnson is suffering from
a terrible wound in the groin.
At the coroner's inquest, the jury
rendered a verdict that Stone came
to his death from a gunshot wound
at the hands of Jim Johnson. John
son will be held without bail. All
parties are said to have been drink
ing. The affair occurred in a quar
ter unsavory in reputation.
Johnson is married and has a wife
tmd three or four children. Stone
was a widower, his wife having died
some time ago.
Details of the shooting are hard to
get fixed, there being some conten
tion that Stone could not have fired,
the bullet that wounded Johnson.
Other parties state, however, that
beyond doubt the shooting was by
and between Stone and Johnson ex
clusively. It . is not known as yet
whether other arrests will be made.
Drs. Halford and Riddle of Cen
tral Harnett Hospital state that
Johnson has splendid chances of re
covery. If he gets well, he will be
placed in jail to await trial.
The following story of the affair
was sent to the News and Observer
from Fayetteville:
James Johnson, 36, who shot and
instantly killed Frank Stone, 52,
near Overhills in Harnett county Sat
urday night, and was himself shot in
the thigh, was taken to Lillington by
the sheriff of Harnett yesterday af
ternoon from the Pittman hospital
in this city, where he was brought
following the double shooting. John
son's father, J. S. Johnson, had statr
. ed that he would oppose the remov
al of his son in his injured condition,
but Dr. R. L. Pittman of the local
hospital stated today that the wound
ed man was getting on as well as
could be expected when he left the
hospital. Johnson's leg was broken
- by the pistol ball that entered his
thigh.
Stone was shot twice through the
heart and his death was instant. The
tragedy occurred near the home of
Mrs. Fannie Woodall, where the two!
men met in the public road. Mrs.
Woodall was the principal witness
before the coroner's inquest held by
the Harnett coroner. She testified
that Stone was standing in or beside
the road near her home when John
son drove by and stopped. She heard
loud talking and quarreling. She
went to the door and asked them to
stop, which they did for a time, after
which the dispute was resumed, and
she heard four or five shots.
Both men used pistols. It is said
that Stone's revolver was found ly
ing by his side with every chamber
emptied. Johnson, it is said, sur
rendered his pistol to a cousin who
came up immediately after the shoot
ing and asked him to summon the
sheriff and coroner.
Stone leaves a wife, who, it is said,
secured a divorce from him several
years ago. Johnson has a wife and
five children.

POLL TAX NOT
APPLIED TO ROADS
Supreme Court Says Constitution
Forbids Levy on Poll for Road
Purposes.
Raleigh, Nov. 30. Poll tax can
not be applied to road building, holds
Chief Justice Walter Clark of the
North Carolina Supreme Court, in a
concurring opinion in the case of
Ballou vs. Road Commissioners from
Ashe, decided against the validity of
bonds for road building.
The opinion of the court makes,
also, the following important rail
ings :-
"As we now have a declared legis
lative policy of incurring an indebt
edness of $50,000,000 for the con
struction and maintenance of roads,
it is well to note that however laud
able such purpose may be, the legis
lautre is .explicitly forbidden by the
Constitution to derive any funds for
that purpose from the collection of
a poll tax.
"There were formerly conflicting
decisions owing to the requirement
of an 'equation of taxation' between
the poll and property tax whether
when the tax exceeded 66 2-3 cents
on $100 property the poll tax could
be collected to an amount in excess
of $2, and whether such excess could
then be applied to other purposes
than 'education and the support of
the poor. These conflicting deci
sions have now ceased to have any
bearing because under the Constitu
tion as now amended the 'equation
of taxation' between the poll and
property, has been stricken out and
the Constitution (Art. V, sec. 1) now
reads: 'The general assembly may
levy a capitation tax on every male
.inhabitant of the state over 21 and
under 50 years of age, which said
tax shall not exceed $2, and cities
and towns may levy a capitation tax
which shall not exceed $1. No other
capitation tax shall be levied.
"Sec. 2 of that article of the Con
stitution, which provides that the
proceeds of the state and county cap
itation tax shall be applied to the
purposes of education and the sup
port of the poor remains unaltered,
and there can be no possible- mis
understanding of the language of the
Constitution which, as above stated,
says: 'No other capitation tax shall
be levied.' It is also clear from this
language that no capitation tax can
be levied upon women, or upon men
except from 21 to 50 years of age,
and that so much of this or any stat
ute as provides for the levy of any
capitation tax for the maintenance
and construction of roads is invalid
and must be disregarded."
Lower Rates Ordered.
In an order of the corporation
commission railroads in North Caro
lina were instructed to abide by a
'uniform freight rate on crushed!
stone, gravel and sand in carload lots
between points in the state.
The order was drawn in the case
of a number of granite, sand and
gravel companies against the Atlan
tic Coast Line, Carolina & Northwest
ern, C. C. & O., Norfolk Western,
Norfolk Southern, Seaboard, South
ern and Winston-Salem Southbound.
In this decision the railroads were
ordered to put into effect on and
after Dec. 15 "the scale of rates for
single and joint application between
points ' in this state located on de
fendant carriers' lines as set forth
in appendix circular 224."
Hotel Rates Reduced.
At a meeting in Raleigh of many
traveling salesmen in connection
with Post E, Raleigh T. P. A., Bur
rell H. Marsh of Winston-Salem, na
tional hotel chairman, wa3 present
and made an address on hotel condi
tions in North Carolina and the pro
posed 2 1-2 cent mileage bill now
before congress.
He reported reduction in the rates
of a large number of hotels in the
state and urged his hearers to givej
him more cooperation in his efforts
to get further concessions from the
hotels.
Mr. Marsh in discussing the pro
posed' 2 1-2 cent railroad mileage
book bill called attention to the fact
that if the railroads could afford to
haul theatrical people all over the
country at a 2 1-2 cent rate, it cer
tainly seemed that some concession
could be made to the traveling men
who created the business for the
railroads to handle. He also said
that the railroads gave special rates
to tourists from New York to south
ern Pines and other resorts in this
and other states, and they could not
justify the exorbitant rates the trav
eling men were required to pay.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to thank each and every
one of our many friends for their
great kindness during the illness and
at the death of our little daughter,
Mabel.
Be assured, good friends, that
your thoughtfulness will be appre
ciated and remembered by us.

early MORNING RAID
BRINGS 50O QUARTS
FIXE BOOZE IX SAXFORD
Saniord police made an early raid
Tuesday morning at Brown Bulck
Service Station, taking a BoJck road
ster and about 500 quarts of flnfe
whiskey. The compartment of the
car was packed full of the liquor,
also a box and trunk by the side of
the car were full.
The booze was of the imported va
rietyScotch, Irish and other high
toned European brands of allied es
sencenone of the ordinary popkull
stuff.
The story is told that a traveler
drove in and requested repairs on his
car, that the car was taken In and
"stored" together with some luggage
appertaining thereto, no one con
nected with the garage, however,
having any knowledge that whiskey
was the cargo.
Some people from Lillington were
in Sanford Tuesday and took advan
tage of an opportunity to view the
whiskey in police station. They say
it was packed in "overseas'
Jacket
to prevent breakage and that every
bottle was of foreign vintage.
It is also reported that the mouths
of the "morally stunted" did water
some therefor.
CORRESPOXDENT POINTS OUT
XEED OF COXSOLIDATIOX
OF THE COUNTY'S SCHOOLS
Mr. Editor:
Will you allow me space enough
in your paper to say just a few words
to the parents of Harnett county?
To Mothers and Fathers:
What about the education of that
child of yours? Are you satisfied
with the present and past system of
educational facilities in Harnett
county? I will answer that for you.
You are not.
The time has come when It is ab
solutely essential that your child be
educated, to be able to encounter the
phases of life's activity. So what are
you going to do?
You will say: "Well, we don't have
teachers now as we did when I was
growing up." I will retaliate with
this statement, to show you that
there has been something wrong all
the while:
In 1917 when the "Selective Draft
Bill" was passed, that required all
men between the ages of 18 and 45
to register, one out of every three
that registered couldn't even sign his
name. In Company "M' 119th In
fantry, in which I was company clerk
(and happened to be in position to
know) there were at the most 256
on roll 76 of this number couldn't
even sign their name, and only 17
had finished high school. Only 38
had reached the high school grades.
The above statement includes men
from North Carolina. Harnett coun
ty, and even the vicinity of Lilling-
ton- So tnat is Proof enough that
there has been something wrong with
the school system heretofore. And.
too, we are living on a different plane
now from that of our forefathers, for
the business world is growing bigger
every day, and without education the
individual is at an entire loss.
The best plan by which every boy
and girl can obtain a high school
education is now on foot, or at least
is being advocated, and I can think
of no other plan better than the con
solidation of the schools, in order
that every body and girl can get this.
I hope that this will reach, and
sink deep into the minds of every
mother and father in Harnett county
I am, yours very truly.
Cam Faucette.

CARVED WITH A
RAZOR. BUT GETS
-
WELL TO DIE
Fannie Strickland Kurvlved Rasor
Wounds Inflicted, by Jealous Wo
man, Rut Answers to Call of Pneu
monia, "t
Some thirty or more days ago the
husband of Fannie Strickland took a
sweet fancy to a younger and sleeker
colored damsel by the name of Bessie
Bell. Fannie didn't1' like that sort of
thing and made her disapproval man
ifest by remonstrating some with the
husband and more with the other
"nigger wummun'.'. Bessie had be
come infatuated with Strickland. It
seems, to such an exlent that she was
willing to "flght. bleed and die for
him." But not without, of course,
doing some fighting, on her own ac
count. And so, arming herself with a ra
or (unsafety) she proceeded to take
sculpture practice on Mrs. Strickland.
During which phrslolectomy (or
whatever' proper) the 'Strickland
woman received incisions that open
ed her breast and Impaired her life's
chances. J
Happening down in the Dunn dls-
Jxict. the Bell woman was haled be
fore Recorder and glvea'thlrty days
in which to repent. 1 The Sfrickland
woman received medical and surgi
cal aid which made her whole, again.
The Bell woman served her time.
Monday night of this week 'there
came a can to s&eriir McArtan to
hurry to Dunn to hold Inquest over
Fannie .Strickland,. It seems that she
had gone out to preaching or some
where and upon returning, dropped
over dead. Dr. HaJford aceompan
iedthe Sheriff to Dunn and held the
inquest, made an autopsy, and found
that the Strickland woman bad con
tracted pneumonia and had died
from natural causes and not from the
wounds Inflicted a month ago by the
Bell woman.
AMERICAN RED CUONH
SEES TRIUMPH IX DIXIE
Atlanta, Nov. It. Southern Divi
sion headquarters of the American
Red Cross sees a verUable triumph of
the Red Cross cause In Dixie as a re
sult of reports from every sec' Ion of
the division on the result of early
roll call activity.
The South, these reportr indicate.
ts keenly alive to the Importance of
the peace time program of the or
ganization and the response o the
appeal of the "Greatest Mother' is
believed ample assurance that . the
work now being attempted will be
carried on throughout the o uiig
year and possibly extended so that
every community In the division will
feel and know its benefits.
This has been made .possible sole
ly through the whole-hearted co
operation of people In every walk of
life throughout the section. Big
(business has recognlxed the benefits
that accrue to It from participation
In Red Cross activity and the re
sponse has been generous, and or
ganized labor has been no less quick
(to grasp the opportunity to aid a
cause that Is one of the prime fac
tors in our national life in adding
strength and force to the masses.
In fact, practically every labor
leader in the South has not only en
rolled himself as a Red member, but!
has given his enthusiastic endorse
ment of the Red Cross program.
The doctrine of Red Cross service
,has been preached from hundreds of
evangelical pulp'ts in the South and
,at the same time It has been made
the subject of endorsement from
prlate and priest, in church and In
synagogue.
In fact, the cooperation has been
as widespread as the cause to which
it Is given. As a result division
headquarters officials predict that de
spite the uncertainties, of the time,
the South will smash all Its records
for response to the annual appeal of
this great national organisation.

SOME UNFAIR METHODS
AT SANDHILLS FAIItj
Noticing In The News that a sale
of Ayrshire cattle would be held on
Thursday at the Sandhills Fair.
Messrs. Henry T. Spears and C. P.
Kelly of Lillington went over to Car
thage to attend the sale. The Fair
wa a most splendid exposition of
that thriving section's prod acts, and
the cattle and other livestock from
far and near was the subject of great
admiration on the parf of the visi
tors. Especially were Messrs. Spears and
Kelly Interested in the beautiful
Ayrshire cattle, the purpose of their
visit being to Invest at the sale. But
they were much disappointed, to say
the least, when htey were told that,
contrary to the program mailed out
over the State by the Fair official,
the cattle sale would not be held till
Friday.
The Sandhills Fair authorities
amlled out programs to the press
announcing the cattle sale on Thurs
day. The announcement appeared la
this paper and In several other week
lies and the dailies. It would seem
that the Sandhills Fair people should
make some apology for their error
