It was a Sunday afternoon and
he drove his Ford the 150 yards from
hi* father’s home to the highway.
The road had been considerably
traded down when the highway was
paved and also there was not a clear
view cf the highway because of small
trees and shrubbery growing up to
within a few feet of the paving. He
stopped his car at the edge of the
h'ghwav to see if the highway was
clear He saw a car coming tilting
toward Chapel Hill. He had partly
turned toward Pittsboro as he came
down the slant, but unfortunately
his right front wheel was a few inch
es, about eight according to the evi
dence, bn the pavement. There was
no evidence that he attempted to
back off, but the car was so
fast according to the evidence that
he would not have had time to back
off if he had tried. The approaching
Chevrolet hit the protruding fender
of Do 1 ’s car, turned it around, and
itself whirled about, turning . over

Oldham, who was driving, another
young man. and a Miss Cooper, es
caped any permanent injury. Two
ribs of one of the Oldham girls were
broken and a back tendon strained,
according to the evidence of Dr. Mc-
Bane. The Oldham car was wrecked.
There was no one passing from
the other direction and the Oldham
car had the whole road to pass the
protruding car. But the Oldham car
had just passed three young ladies
and the evidence indicated that some
of those in the Oldham car were
looking back at them. The young
man on the seat with young Oldham
said he was talking to the driver
and that the driver was hooking
straight ahead. No one ni the Old
ham car saw the Dollar car. Those
in the wrecked car declared it to be
going about 35 miles an hour, and
one of them said the old car could
not make fifty or sixty miles an hour.
When .Judge Small had heard Mr.
Dollar's own story of the happening,
oe sent the jury out and told the
defense that, according to Dollar’s
own evidence, he was guilty of the
charge. Attorney Elmer Long de

differently, and would fight it

It was estimated that 32 sacks of
sugar w r ere stolen altogther. Some
of the boys made more than one visit
to the store. Only about a dozen
sacks were recovered* The largest
crowd of colored folk heard the sen
tences that have been seen in the
court house in years. This was due
in part to the expectation of the
coming up on Tuesday of the Joe
Brooks case.
The Judge’s Charge
Judge Small’s charge to the grand
jury was oi*t of the usual order. He
did not take time to define any
crime, but took it for granted that
the intelligent grand jury was fa
miliar with the definitions. He talk
ed upon citizenship, and an excellent
talk he made, one that is conducive
to pride in the citizenship of the
State and yet provoked concern'for
the future. He defined law as a rule
of conduct and declared that the
courts are not prmarily for punish
ment, but for the construing of the
law, and that punishments are dis
tasteful to any judge, but must be
given as a token to the citizens that
they will suffer if they fail to ob
serve the rules of conduct made for
the common good. He thinks children
are allowed to go out at night too
early in life and that parents should
maintain a complete control over
them till they have passed the stage
of their natural venturesomeness.
The Grand Jury
The following good citizens were
drawn as grand jurors: W. A. Phil
lips, foreman, J. T. O’Connor, R. E.
Mclver, Newton Moore, Pete Dowdy,
C. O. Gilmore, J. W. Bland, J. D.
Jones, N. A. Wright, E. O. Dowdy,
Chas. L. Henderson, H. W. Luther,
R. E. Mclver, C. H. Marsh, W. A.
Poe, Ira Foushee, G. N. Thomas, C.
E. Griffin, G. H. Andrews.
Judge Small, whose first visit this
is to Pittsboro, has made a good im
pression upon the people. Solicitor
Williams is as usual effectively on
the job. Miss Speight is here as
stenographer. x
Full account of disposal of cases

Five Killed in Auto
Crash Near Dillon
One of the worst automobile ac
cidents ever occurring in this part
of the country was that near Dillon
Sunday whelp an entire family,—
father, mother and three children—
was wiped out and a relatives so bad
ly injured that he died later. The
dead in the Dillon wreck are J. G.
McDonald and his family and Oscar
Horne, brother of Mrs. McDonald.
The McDonalds formerly lived at
Laurinburg where he was head of
a large cotton mill. Lately they
have lived at Hamer, S. C. Burial
was at Laurinburg yesterday.
Other accidents over the week-end
cost several lives. Ralph Gibson, a
Marine from Parris Island, was kill
ed when his automobile struck a cow

man was killed near Fuquay Springs,
and a negro at Varma, N. C.
Political Row Closes'
Transylvania Schools
Public schools in Brevard and
Transylvania are open again after
being closed a week due to a row
row between a Democratic school
board and the Republican county
commissioners. The argument was
over which should buy the coal.
Pending settlement of the matter
through mandamus proceedings in
the courts the schools closed for.lack
of fuel. The last of the week two
wealthy men of Brevard bought a
car of coal and had it delivered at
the school houses and they opened
Monday. These men said they were
not interested in the row but they
: were concerned that the children
were suffering while politicians ar
i gued and they wanted the schools
! opened.

Simmons Announces
Candidacy for Senate
The expected announcement of
Senator Simmons’ candidacy for re
nomination for the United States
senate in the Democratic primary
next June came Saturday afternoon.
The senator’s statement was short
and to the point. He says that his
duties in Washington while congress
is in session will prevent him from
makng any canvass of the State, and
that he is not financially able to make
such a canvass even if he had the
time. He hopes that nothing will be
done during the campaign to “dis
rupt the party.”
The announcement came as no sur
prise, but there was an element of
surprise in the method of campaign
outlined. It had been expected, also,
that the senator might defend his
1928 position in failing to support
the Democratic ticket. His only ref
erence to that instance was in the
opening sentence of his statement
wherein he called attention to the
fact that he said then he would be a
candidate.
Mr. Bailey has said that he does
not expect to make many speeches
and if Senator Simmons doesn’t make
any there may be little bitterness
developed. Then if the new ballot
ing law, the first approach to a re
cent method of voting the State has
ever undertaken, is really enforced
• the result of the primary election
may be more nearly a true expres
sion of the will of the people than
any recent election has been.

Federal Reserve Bank
Handles Lots of Money
(From The Hamlet News-Messenger)
The federal reserve bank of Rich
mond has just issued its annual re
port to stockholders. Much of the
information contained in that report
is “Greek” to the average layman,
but some interesting facts are culled
from it. i-
During the year 1929 the bank
?eceived and counted 148,126,049
coins having a value of $16,394,275;
it counted and prdd out 148.474.516
coins with a value of $10,392,833.
Just how fast a good bank clerk can
count money we do not know, but
figuring at the rate of a hundred
minute, for eight hours a day,
1 ii; required 22 clerks working full
tijne all the 392 days that the
bank was open just to count the
coins.
Then the bank received and count
ed 174,518,171 currency notes with
a value of $757,850,615;. it counted
and paid out 175,069,783 notes val
ued at $752,158,859. On the same
basis as above, 100 notes to the
minute, eight hours a day for the
302 days, 25 clerks were kept busy
counting paper money. That is a
total of 47 clerks working all year
not doing a thing but counting actual
money.
But while this was going on the
bank was also handling an average
of 184,536 checks a day represent
ing a daily average value of nearly
forty-seven millio ndollars.
Now what most of us want to know
is what has become of all this money
since the bank clerks counted it.
Increase in State
High School Pupils
——
According to a table recently is
sued by the Journal of the National
Education Association, North Caro
lina ranks second among all the
spates in percentage of increase in
high school pupils from 1920 to
1926, the last year for which full
statistics are available. The increase
for the six year period was 174 per
cent, while Florida showed 176 per
cent. North Carolina, however, leads
Florida in the number of high school
pupils compared to population.
There were 943 pupils enrolled in
public high schools in this state in
1900; 8,500 in 1910; 30,868 in
1920, and 84,569 in 1926. The same
table shows that in 1900 there was
one high school pupil for every
2,008 persons, whereas in 1926 there
was one for every 34 persons.
Greatly increased interest in Trade
and Industrial Education is noted in
the state. This department began
in 1919 with 128 pupils in five
classes; at the close of 1929 term
there were 5,689 pupils in 344
classes. There were 150 evening
classes in textile subjects, 38 classes
in building trades, and the others
divided among numerous subjects
and trades.

State Prison Shows
Another Big Deficit
The North Carolina state prison
will show a deficit of $150,000 to
$175,000 for last year, and faees
one of nearly twice that amount for
this year, according to a statement
issued a few days ago by Supt. Geo.
Ross Pou. Rapidly increasing popu
lation of the prison with inadequate
facilities for self support is given as
the reason for the deficit. At the
same tjme it is contended by Mr.
Pou that the per capita maintenance
cost at state prison is much less
than in most other states.

I JUDGE BELL ACQUITS
POLICEMAN BARM
@
Large Crowd of Goldston Citi
zens Hear Trial of Town
Officers on Assault Charge;
No Argument by Counsel*
—®
Goldston must have been almost
depopulated of its male citizens last
Thursday afternoon when the case
against Policeman Henry L. Barber
for assault upon James Wicker on
Christmas eve night was heard before
Recorder Bell.
Solicitor Wade Barber took no
part in the trial, the state and the
private prosecution being represent
ed by Attorney W. P. Horton and
the defense by Ray and Upchurch.
The evidence as developed differed
very little from that brought out
on the preliminary trial and report
ed in the Record two weeks ago.
Jim Wilson still stuck to his story
that he saw Policeman Barber hit
ting Wicker with his pistol. Wicker
still insisted that his wounds were
made by Barber’s blows. Barber, on
the other hand, still declared that
he did not hit Wicker at all, but
that the wounds were made when
Wicker fell upon the edge of tb*
highway, where stones protruded
from the tar of the highway sur
facing.
A bit of new evidence by Mr.
Dowd, the Goldston blacksmith and
a man of character, possibly came
nearer indicating what really happen
ed than all the other evidence. Mr.
Dowd swore that on Christmas morn
ing after the occurrence the pre
vious night, he was walking down
town when Barber took him up to
ride in his car. Barber mentioned
the episode and Dowd told his that
he had heard only one side of it. .
Barber then said, “I’ll tell you just
how it happened. Wicker said he
would not go and I told him he
would. He undertook to trip me up
and I did fall in the ditch
on me. I rolled him over ancf when
we got up, Wicker started to hit
hie with a rock and I hit him.”
This testimony pleased Attorney
Ray of the defense, who did not
even cross examine the. witness. *Rut- :
if that was the way of it, a lie was
absolutely unnecessary on the part
of the policeman, as even a non
officer would have been justified in
hitting a man threatening him with
a rock. ’
But Judge Bell cut the gordiort
knot without having to decide which
side had lied. At the close of the
testimony, he read a decision of the
supreme court which declared that
an officer having a man under arrest
must be allowed to use largely his
own judgment as to the amount of
force necessary to effect an arrest
an arrest or to hold his man, and
forthwith acquitted the officr. And
thus ended the case with possibly the
greatest degree of satisfaction to all
concerned. The real question upon
which the division of sentiment rest
ed was left undecided, and every
fellow can still have his own opinion
about who did the lying without in
volving any criticism of Judge Bell’s
decision.
Brer Rabbit Wanted
to See New Ford
The Weeks Motor Company is less
hospital to visitors than one would
have thought. Friday night, as Mr.
J. A. Thomas stood by his desk with
the front door of the garage open,
Brer Rabbit came hopping in. He
didn t mean a bit of harm—merely
wanted to see one o£ the new Fords.
But instead of a hospital reception,
that man Thomas closed the door
and he and the other fellows ran his
rabbitship down and penned him in a
show case till closing time and then
that same Thomas man took him
home and ate him up the next day.
Now, if one left hind foot of a rab
bit left in the Record office ten days
ago has wrought so favorably, what
might not have happened to that
Ford shop if Brer Rabbit had been
taken in and treated hospitably. Unh,
glad it wasn’t the Record that treat
ed him so harshly!
