POLICEMAN BARBER ' HELD FOR ASSAULT Golds"” 1 Policeman Charged vyith Assault upon Jim Wlck er Christmas Eve — Prelimi nary Trial Held Here Friday t ~Hout the hour when Christ- Arrived Wednesday night of week hell broke loose in Gold cfn and Christmas day saw the community aligned in two factions, f r and against the town s police -1 Mr Henry L. Barber, who for twentv vears has been policeman in that little town. , i inl \vi‘*ker, a young man wno has record for occasional dnnk . ; s ,,.c t K and once was charged Sh'interfering with an officer in tV d of his duty, was the sufferer from whatever happened, nrl the testimony as to what did L" en absolutely contradictory. In short, sombody has lied and sworn to it. Young Wicker brought a face half covered with patches, and the un disputed testimony was that he had l cut on the side of his nose near one of his eyes, another on his fore head and liberal scratches elsewhere. He swore that Policeman Barber made the wounds, and Jim Wilson wore that he saw Mr. Barber hit Wicker three times with his pistol. Or the other hand, the policeman wore that he did not hit Wicker at all, but that Wicker hit him and then stumbled and fell face forward on the rocky highway. At the preliminary trial a large part of the adult citizenry of Gold ston was present as witnesses pro or con. Those for the policeman were principally as character witnesses. Unfortunately for him, he had no one who saw the occurrence to tes tify in his behalf as to what actually took place when Jim Wicker got hart. The story up to the time of the injury is, in a measure, clear. It .«as4iear midnight pja Christmas eve. Young Wicker admitted having had one drink, but no one except the policeman would swear that he was drunk. He went into the Barber case, and a little later come out of the rear, passing behind the counter, singing “Pass around the bottle and we’ll all take a drink.” Policeman Barber came in and took him by the arm and said. “You come with me.” Wicker went peacably. They passed the Stout garage, walking south on highway 60, presumably tow'ard the mayor’s house, £o whom the police man swore he was going to show Wicker that the mayor might have secular evidence of Wicker’s drunk en condition. Just between two town lights, in the gloom, the trouble oc curred. The policeman testified that Wicker said he would go no further and the officer said he would. The officer stated that Wicker then hit him on the temple, almost knocking h’-m down, and that at this time, or a moment later, Wicker fell. Tommie Rives had followed at a distance and was overtaken, or join ed. by Jim Wilson. Rives swore that he stopped at a point twenty or thir |Y yards of the officer and Wicker, hut that he saw one of them fall and t-e other get over him and appear o be hitting him. It was too dark to distinguish them, but he could clearly what was happening in the shadow as he described it. ' Jim Wilson swore that he ap proach- nearer and saw the police i' an ,.P his gun and hit Wicker, • ockmg him down.

The state as a whole showed 658,098 bales ginned this year as compared with 800,102 bales last year to same date. Several west ern counties, including Cleveland, Ca-' tawba, Cabarruss and Lincoln, show substantial gains over last year, but all of the eastern counties are short. Edgecombe and Halifax are about 10,000 bales each below last year, while a number of other big cotton counties such as Harnett, Johnson, Nash and Northampton are from five to eight thousand bales short. Richomnd county ginned 13,379 bales last year and only 8,122 this year—just about two thirds of last year’s crop, and about one-third of a ten year average crop. Scotland ginned 7,000 bales less than last year and Anson about six thousand less. The only eastern counties that rank as big cotton producers that show any gain over last year are Robeson and Sampson. Robeson ginned 40,- 174 bales compared with 38,050 last year, while the figures for Sampson are 25,151 and 22,782, respectively. Chatham county ginned only 3,756 bales this year against 6,108 last year, and an average crop of around twelve thousand bales. <*> North Carolina Death Rate is Increasing Report just issued by the depart ment of commerce shows that the death rate in North Carolina for 1928 was greater than in 1927, the in crease being nearly one in a thou sand. Increases were noted in almost every disease, but the figures on sui cide and homicide deaths are most striking. Suicides increased from 4,6 to 6.4 per 100,000 population, while homicides increased from 9.7 to 10.4 per 100,000. Tuberculosis, however, was less deadly, the number of deaths decreasing from 89.0 to 83.6 per 100,000, and typhoid fever also showed decrease from 8.1 to 6.5. These figures would indicate that public health work in the state is justifying itself by lessening the deaths attributable to contagious and infectious diseases, while from the standpoint of law enforcement the situation is getting worse. Senator Brookhart at Southern Pines Senator Brookhart of lowa will deliver the lecture at the Church of Wide Fellowship, Southern Pines, at the platform hour Sunday night, Jan uary 5, at 7:30.

He is a fluent and enter taining speaker on any subject, and Sunday night he will discuss the ques tion “Can Prohibition be Enforced?” The Church of Wide Fellowship is bringing to this section of the state some of the greatest talent in the country for tkese platform hours. Last Sunday night Maude Willis, na tionally known interpreter of plays gave the program. Senator Brook hart will be followed by others of like calibre during the winter and early spring. The public is invited and no admission is charged, although an of* sering is taken. $ DEATH OF MRS. MARSHALL Mrs. Bessie Marshall of Swepson ville, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. F.

Several were already in jail on the charge of the theft of sugar by the wholesale a few weeks ago. Talk among the accused and the knowing discovered the fact that sugar had been taken from the store on occasions previous to the whole sale theft. It is estimated now that 35 hundred-pound sacks have been stolen altogether, and maybe more. The wholesale theft seems to have been 22 sacks. Four negroes were give prelimi nary hearing Tuesday before Squire Lysander Johnson, and three of them, Sandy Rogers, Lloyd Moore and Dan Williams, were held for court, and as bond was not forthcoming were jailed. That makes six in jail on the charges of robbing the Poe and Moore store. Previous robberies had been through the same window, but at "the time of the wholesale theft the win dow had been fixed so that it re quired breaking to enter and the robbery was readily discovered. Three Are Killed in Rum Runners Chase' 9 Three liquor runners were killed a fourth was seriously wounded, and $600,000 worth of liquor was con fiscated when a coast guard patrol fired on a rum boat off the Connecti cutt coast Saturday.

The three deaths have served to renew discussion of en forcement methods, and certain Sena tors are bitterly criticizing the ad ministration policy. PASTOR DAILEY BEREAVED Pastor J. A.
