Justice Lacked Jurisdiction
In Dealing With Child
Concealment Case
NUMBER OF CHARGES
Alleged Offenses Did Not
Occur in Wilkes County,
Evidence Shows
Concealing childbirth and oth
er charges against Gladstone Car
ter and Mrs. Flake Brown, both
of Elkin, were dismissed In a pre
liminary hearing here Thursday
before Magistrate A. S. Cassel.
The charges grew out of the
discovery of the body of a newly
born baby In an old abandoned
well in eastern Wilkes several
months ago. The dismissal before
the magistrate was on the
grounds that the offense. If any,
charged In the warrant were com
mitted outside of Wilkes county
and therefore outside of the Jur
isdiction of the presiding Justice.
Carter and Mrs. Brown were
arrested In Elkin Saturday and
placed under bonds of $500 each
pending the hearing here Thurs
day. Ca’ter is alleged to have
been one of the men who was
seen to throw a package Into the
old well the night prior to the
discovery of the tiny body the
following morning. Mrs. Brown,
who had been separated from her
husband for several months pri
or to the birth of the child, is ad
mittedly the mother of the child.
Officers learned a short time
after the baby’s lifeless body was
found that Mrs. Brown was the
mother, the child havlsg
born fe*if^^yf6rsvIllo hoepitikl.
Mrs. Brown claimed at the time
that she turned the body over to
her sister, Mrs. John Hudspeth,
of Elkin, for burial in the family
plot there and that she did not
know the baby had been disposed
of by being tossed Into the aban
doned well. Mrs. Hudspeth was
arrested at that time, but declin
ed to throw any further light up
on the case, which was nol press
ed following a hearing in Wil-
kesboro.

Jr., (above), are going to be married next June. Their engagement

ents of the bride-to-be. The President’s son and the du Pont heiress
good-humoredly posed for news photographers, striding up and down
the sun room and seated side by side before the fireplace. They
laughed each time they were told to look at^each but re
fused to hold hands. “It is to be a small church wddding,’’ she says.

OUT OF THE DEPRESSION
(An Editorial)
Factories humming day and night, smoke from every
smokestack, far behind orders, payrolls increased by
larger numbers of workers and constant wage boosts,
bumper crops being harvested to fill a growing demand
at higher prices—that in part is the .picture of Amenca
today emerging resourcefuT-y from a depression of six
years duration—a tribute to a great nation of people
who may be down but never out.
To bring the subject closer home, let us look at Noi^
Carolina: cash crops bringing prices comparable to the
prices of 1929, industries growing, payrol s on the iip-
ward trend, progress being made in every line of in
dustry. ...... J
Btill closer home: local indnstnes ‘fmding orders
plcntififi to maintain a full payroll with a growing
need for using two or three shifts of workers dauy, re
tail trade increasing every week with prospects for an
unprecedented holiday business, farmers harvesting
the best corn crop in sweral years with othei crops
proportionately good, a market for all surp-us above
home consumption at good prices.*
To bring the subject all the way home: Do th^
definite indications of a rapidly returning prosperity
not inspire cortfidenoa in our nation, onr state, our
county, our city or comiminity and ourselves.
m' 4rlii» ikU ; lueky twwty-m»,
winneM will be.
Hero is another offer given the
willing workers In the campaign
to further enhance their possibil
ities of winning one of the bigger
awards. It will, no doubt, be a
pleasant surprise to each and
everyone who Is in the race to
succeed, to know they will have
another opportunity to further In
crease their vote totals this week.
This new offer Is a very liberal
one Indeed, and can be made the
means of securing enough votes
to carry one to victory.
It follows: 282,000 Extra
Votes will be credited on each
and every $30 “club" In subscrip
tion payments turned in this
week. New subscriptions and old
subscriptions wlH count. It is the
very best extra vote offer that
will be made from now on -and
Is almost as good an offer as the
one which closed last Saturday
night.
This extra vote offer will last
just one week and will end Sat
urday night, November 2Sth. It
is “.short and sweet’’ and too
much Importance cannot "be
placed upon It. The workers now
will be the winners when the
campaign ends, and there Is no
time for hesitation on the part
of anyone who desires to win one
of the biggest awards.
The nllef 111*® week la a gold
en opportunity for new membera
to enter the race and win. Yon
can put your spare time on a
revenue basis. If you will but
grasp the opportunity offered
you under this week’s offer. Get
them In this week and don’t wait
until Saturday to do th© entire
week’s work. The wise ones will
start out early with determina
