C., where they were prohibited the use of cigarettes. Wo say We most heart ily endorse the action of the school board in this respect. No school teach er should be employed who smokes cigarettes and now since the feminine gender has become addicted to the above habit it is time to act wisely. Fortunately the principal of our home town institution does not smoke, neither is hp accused of much court ing; but since he is now rushing a fired new car, a change may take place.

Phone 38 Recorder s Court Gaorga HuHard Gata $25 Fine and Coats For Making fnspropar Pro pOaa! tv Lumbarton Giri-—!n Da fatdt of Fina Mast Saraa 60 Days on Roadrt-SaM Ha Thought His Wife Waa At Home. George Bullard, young white man, was fined $25 and costs in Recorder P. S. Komegay's court yesterday morning when he was found guiity of making improper proposals to a young iady who lives in the eastern part of town near Bullard's home. It was in evidence at the hearing that Bullard went to the home of the young lady's aunt and asked the young lady to go over to his home and s{*end the night with his wife, claiming that he was going to leave at once for Winston-Salem. The young lady had previously spent some nights at the home with Mrs. Bullard and was preparing to carry out Bul lard's request when the aunt inter vened and told her that Bullard's wife was out of town. The young lady claimed she was terribly frightened by the proposals of the young man and witnesses testified that she cried over the affair. The young lady's mother went on the stand when asked by the defendant, who did not have counsel, some pointed questions she in return asked him, "What was it ygu could tell her in ten minutes that it* would take some men an hour to tell?" Bullard did not go on the stand, and when court was dismissed told the recorder that he was a poor hard working man and that he did not in tend making improper proposals to the lady, and did not know his wife was not at home at the time he asked her to go spend the night. In default of the fine and costs the defendant will serve 60 days on the roads. Whiskey Case. Names of practically everyone who has ever been indicted, or witnesses in cases where others had been in dicted, for violations of the liquor law, in the section of the county near Pope's crossing, for the past several years were heard in court yesterday when two of the inhabitants of that section were tried for possessing whiskey for the purpose of sale. Henry Carter and Walter Britt were the men charged with crime and Recorder Kornegay failed to find enough evidence for conviction. It was in evidence that nearly a gallon of whiskey in a glass jug was found Tuesday night under the front steps of the house occupied by Carter and Britt, county officers finding the liquor and making the arrest. It was shown that the liquor could have been seen from the public road during the daytime, and it was the contention of the defendants that the liquor had been placed there by someone who has an ill feeling toward the men. On direct examination the defendants admitted that they had told officers of certain men operating a still in that vicinity, and that they believed the liquor was placed under the steps by one of these men, who notified the officers that liquor could be found there if they would make a search. Attorney for the defense stated that it could be proven by the officers who did not go on the stand that cer tain parties had notified them of the liquor being there and that he be lieved these men put the whiskey un der the steps.

Lumberton Draw* Four On AH State Quint* Gams Four Piaees Out of a PosaiMo Five—Runner-Up in State Tourna ment Drew Only Three—Second Time Geo. Bryan and BM! Joaea Have Been Given State Mention an Stars. (By George B. Lay) Lumberton highs gained four piaees out of a posaibie five on mythical ali state N. C. State tournament quipts as picked by P. B. Poiiock, principal of the Atkinson high school and pub lished in the Raleigh News and Ob server Wednesday morning. The only Lumberton reguiar, who played on the State coiicge court and who was not listed as one of the stars, was Biii Pope, who probsbly was so fast and low in stature that he wasnt seen by Mr. Poiiock and was entire- ^ f . . iy unobserved. Both first and second string teams in each, class were picked. In Class "B", first team, Mr. Pollock picked the following: Bryan, rf, Lumberton; Gamer, If, Weldon; L. Edmonson, c, Roanoke Rapids; Ritter, rg. Lumber ton; and Anderson, If, Roapoke Rap ids. The selections for the second team in class "B" were as follows: Allen, rf, Lumberton; Dregson, If. Sanford; Jones, c, Lumberton; J. Edmondson, rg. Roanoke Rapids; Proctor, If, Lin colnton. Lumberton drew four places, while Roanoke Rapids, runner-up, drew only three. In Class "A" Leaksville drew three places; Wiim'ngton. two. and Charlotte, three. Most evidently "fast, little team", as the News and Observer termed it, made a lasting impression at Raleigh and the soort writers are fully aware of Lumber ton's excelient athietic stars. This is the second time George Bryan and Biii Jones have obtained ' state mention as ali-stars.
