Town Band Hails Acquitted Sheriff Metropolis, 111.—When the sheriff and chief deputy of Massac county, and 13 other residents, returned here after being acquitted at East St. Louis, 111., of Federal liquor conspiracy charges, the town band turned out. The demonstration, which occurred recently, lasted four hours. GIRL, NINETEEN, FIGHTS BANDIT Fresno, Calif.-—In a furious battle with a "chloroform bandit,” Miss Katharine Mose, 19 years old, student at .Fresno State College, was drugged into unconsciousness here. Miss. Mose was found on the floor of the home of H. W. Elder, grocer, several minutes after the bandit had fled. Revived, she declared that the bur glar entered the home through a ; ear door, thrust a revolver at her and de manded the keys. When she declared they were not in her possession, she said, the burglar at tempted to place a chloroform satu rated cloth over her face. During the struggle, she -fainted from the fumes, she said. The bandit ransacked the cm ire house in a futile search for the keys, which were in possession of Elder, w ho •had left home a few minutes earlier. Nothing was taken from the house. ¥RE£-9RLWH0 SLEW HUSBAND Chicago—Bernice O’Connor, 24, night club cigaret girl, who shot and killed her divorced husband, Edward, last July 31 in her apartment at 4330 Lake Parke Ave., was acquitted of murder by a jury in Judge Sullivan’s court. The jurors were out two hours. The girl, defended by Harold Levy and Emmet Byrne, claimed self-de fense. Her attorneys produced several witnesses to support the assertion. Mrs. O’Connor was exonerated by the coroner’s jury in the case, but the State’s attorney called the coroner’s verdict a "miscarriage of justice.” SEARCH ON FOR COLLEGE SLUGGER New York—Major league baseball scouts, having given up hope of find ing another Babe Ruth on the semi pro sandlots, this year will spend their time looking over the campuses of the various colleges in the hope of finding a heavy collegian, according to John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants. "It is the general belief of baseball officials that a good share of the stars of the future will come from college teams, although it is my opinion that they will never overshadow the smd lotters,” quoth McGraw. "Many of the scouts this year are on the lookout for collegians. No doubt there will be a great amount of college material on the diamond in 1933. It will be up to them to make the grade, but in any case they should produce new interest in the game.” Portland Wars On Gaming Dens Portland, Me.—Following protests from clergymen, police have started a round-up of shopkeepers who keep slot machines in their places of business for gambling purposes. It is claimed that school boys and girls are patronizing the slot machines with the result that many are late for school while others are "playing hook ey.” In the first wave of the round-up five shopkeepers have been fined. They are Popkin Zakarian, Louis Melconian, Alphonse Mangino, Felice Petruzzi and Morris Jacobson. They were fined $50 each by Superior Court Judge Arthur Chapman. JURIST DECLINES KISS FROM BRIDE Gilroy, Calif.—Because there is nothing in the penal code requiring him to do so, Judge Leon Thomas re fused the proferred lips of Mrs. Mar garet Hill, after he had married her to Walter Lee Hill. "There are too many osculating justices already,” he said. "I want to be different.” BAPTISTS RESPONDING Raleigh—Members of the Baptist :hurch in North Carolina are respond ng "very well” to the appeal of the state Baptist convention for $86,000 vith which to retire bonds of Meredith :ollege maturing next month, Dr. Charles E. Maddry, secretary of the invention, said. PRISONER FREED; WITNESSES HELD Charlottesville.—In one of the most unusual cases on court records here, the prisoner went free and nine wit nesses went to jail. Judge L. E. Smith sentenced each of the witnesses to a day in jail for tardiness, and the defendant, Mollie Barber, negro girl, charged with grand larceny, was acquitted. All The Wine You Can Drink For Five Cents Bucharest—"All the wine you can drink in one hour, five cents.” The above sign appears on windows of wine shops in Bucharest. The signs represent the latest attempt by the wine merchants to stimulate business. SALS. PRODUCE CO. IS ONE OF LARGEST SHIPPERS IN STATE Farmers In Rowan Com ty And Vicinity Are Al ways Assured Of vi Ready Poultry Marked With The Highest Pric es Paid. The Salisbury Produce company, un der the management of L. H. Heck, located at'121 West Fisher street, is one of the largest poultry shippers in North Carolina. On an average the company ships about 20,000 pounds of birds purchased from poultry raisers in Salisbury and vicinity. This industry has done much to make poultry farming profitable in this county. Farmers are always as sured of a ready market with the high est prices paid for their fowls. The company has no regular time for loading, but as soon as enough chickens are on hand they are loaded on one of the special built trucks and shipped to New York. The company operates 3 of these trucks, which are furnished by the New York buyers and about 2 days are required fbr the trip. In addition to being the main ship per of poultry in Salisbury and Row an county, the Salisbury Produce company deals in fresh eggs and dress ed chickens for the home market. MANY LUNATICS FLEE ASYLUMS Paris—The French are becoming very nervous about the extent to which the insane get out of the asy lums in which they are lodged. Offi cial figures list 4,202 as the number let out last year. They escaped, or were cured, or died. The number treat ed in France for mental trouble dur ing the past year reached the impos ing total of 19,984. Each year the total increases, mount ing 149 in 1928, 314 in 1929, 519 in 1930. The "most popular” French in sane asylum—the adjectives are from the official report—is the Maison Blanche, or White House, reserved en tirely for women. The afflicted in res idence there number 1,744. The interest and excitement shown throughout France in these figures is due to the fact that nothing has been made clear officially as to how many among those "let out” of confinement died, escaped or were cured. The total figure is given, nothing more. It is considered probable that some member of the Chamber of Deputies will ask that the total be subdivided into the three categories mentioned with a view to determining how many insane persons escape yearly. — POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS (Political announcements under this caption until the primary at $3 each, cash with order).

' Q New York City,—Most Ameri- . can musicians should come from 'c the South, and why they do not is s a mystery to Tal Henry who took }, personal precautions in that direc- ] tion by being born in South Caro lina. “I can’t understand why tnere } are so many famous Yankee play- \ ers of Southern tunes,”, he pro- e tests. “In the North, people like j music but frequently not passion ately enough to take the time r either to listen or to play. While ( in the South, melody is so much a c part of our lives that it has actu- s ally slowed up life for us. A soft t Negro lullaby floating up from the j kitchen in the morning is as wel come and natural to us as the same lullaby crooned at night—and we are very willing to have it post pone our breakfast and the day’s affairs.” Henry doesn’t, however, claim i1 unqualified credit for the South in ! 1 the origin of modern popular I music. 1 c ious southern tempo that is the jundation of the popular music of Linerica comes from the African egro,” he says. “While we have volved something that may be ailed pure American music, the asis of it is the old songs of the outhern darkies which they had anded doyin to them by their fore ears who were brought over in lave ships from their homeland. “These songs were either luila ies or war calls, and it is amazing ow many motifs used today are laborations of these very simple rimitive tunes. “Many songs have even taken egro themes and dialect like ‘I’m lettin’ Superstitious About Deli ious You’ the ever-heard fox trot ong which is not distinctly .irican in music but shows negro ifluence in lyrics: ‘I’m gonna wear a luck charm—• A rabbits foot or two I wanna four leaf clover so I can wear that too’.” Tal Henry can speak with au iority as to origins since his band as traveled the ccmntrv over, and 9 has had ample opportunity to Lady the sources of American ance music. Street Fighting in Shanghai Looks Like Real War This is how the Japanese built up barricades of sandbags from behind which they shot down Chinese irreg ulars and civilians while the residents of the Foreign Colonv looked on heloless to interfere.
