COURT BANISHES JOHN GILMORE FROM COUNTY Colored Man Convicted of Pos sessing Liquor, Must Stay Out of County For Two Years .. —Several Bad Check Cases. Banishment from the county for two years, a fine of $100 and costs, and an order froih the Recorder’s Court* requiring that fite defendant maintain his invaild daughter who is confined in a tubercular sanitarium, during the period of banishment, was the judgment rendered Tuesday in the case of the State vs. John Gil more, convicted of possession of liquor for the purpose of sale. The case against Gilmore, colored keener of the lodge room of a frater nal order in the colored quarters of the city, grew out of a recent raid - on this place by local officers who found a large quantity of whiskey and a collection of empty bottles and jars in which it was assumed the , contraband was vended. Both John Gilmore and' his brother, Dave Gil more, were tried upon the same charges, the former pleading guilty While the latter plead not guilty. Dave Gilmore, too, received a sen tence of banishment but his period of ostracism is to be only 12 months. Fremont SimrSons, driver of the Oakland coupe, into which a Ford car, driven by Preston Wicker, collided on the Lemon Springs-Swann Station road one night recently, the latter sustaining j injuries about the head, was fined $25 and costs for trans porting whiskey and the Oakland coupe belonging to him, confiscated and ordered to be sold. Jack Free man, an occupant of the Simmons car, was fined $10 and costs for posses sion, evidence of .such pointing tow ard him when it was testified that he was seen to have carried something from the Oakland car into a nearby cornfield shortly after ■ the collision. Officers being notified, soon arrived at the scene of the accident and, upon being told of Freeman's suspicious maneuvering, investigated and found some whiskey and “still” beer a short distance from the road. Wicker contended in his testimony that the Oakland coupe stopped in the middle of the road and that it bore no lights. His own car, he stated, was not making over 20 miles an hour. He was allowed to pay the costs. Others, in the party were discharg ed the- evidence tending to •how that they were only passengers. ■ Simmons was without counsel, ap pearing before the court as his own attorney, m Carl Womack, colored employe of the town, pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon. Prayer for ment of the cost. A number of bad-check cases took up the remainer of the court’s time, but no decisions were rendered as to these.

May 1st to 7th has been set aside bythe Poultry Industry of the Unitec States as a time to pay special recog nition to the American hen and hei wonderful food product—eggs. “For years eggs have been rated a superior food because of their palata bility, ease and rapidity of digestion and adaptability in cooking.The higi mineral content, the quality of th< protein and fats, and certain growtl promoting properties were also rec ognized. But it was not until oui day that researches in the field o|-bi ological chemistry and nutrition 3kis covered just why they are so nearlj a complete food and why they are sc valuable in the diet. “Our understanding of nutritior has been greatly aided by the discov ery of certain very active substalicec known. as vitamins.

This vital and yet chemi cally undetermined substance whicl the egg provided was the first vitamir discovered and is known as ‘vitamir A.’ It is essential to the growth ant also prevents certain disease of th< mucus tissues and increases the bod) resistance to colds and similar afflic tions. “A little later it was noted that when young animals were raised or apparently an adequate diet, but ir confinement, where no direct sunlight reached them, their growth was ar rested, the bone grew soft and a condi tion called ricketts developed. Egg yolk added to the diet of such ani mals restored normal growth. The substance responsible for this restora tion to health and proper mineral di gestion is known as ‘vitamin I).’ it is provided in cod liver oil, eggs ant, sunshine.” ' E. U. MeMAHAN, County Agent. ORDERS COMPENSATION TO BE PAID TO COVERT Compensation to the amount of sev en donars per week as long as his disability remains was awarded Don Covert, former deputy sheriff of this cpunty, at a hearing of the State In dustrial Commission, before which Mr. Covert’S tftftfney, K. R*. Hoyle, ap peared to present the conteiltidhs oi nis client; The Commission further orders that the Continental Casualty Company* ' ■' ' Chamberley, hela an' insurance pol icy, continue to pay the plaintiff tnat amount for 35 weeks when his disba bility shall have been removed. In his effort to take Chamberley, charged with the violation of the pro hibition law, into custody, Mr. Covert was assaulted by the former, who used a flashlight as his weapon. The injuries resulted in a diminution of his hearing faculties and such inju ries otherwise as rendered the otfi •cer unfit to do any form of labor. Mr. Covert, under the Workman's Compen sation act, appealed to the State in dustrial Corpmission and was award ed seven dollars per week, which amount, Mr. Hoyle, his attorney, states, was paid from the time the plaintiff sustained his disability up to September. At this time, he states, the company lapsed in its payments to the ofticer, and though tnreatened 'with a suspension if its license in this State or a ten per cent penalty of the amount -of compensation involved in the case, by the Industrial Commas sian, steadily refused to make furth er payments to the plaintiff. Hoyle demanded a formal hearing before the Industrial Commission and this was granted on October 30, 1930, with T. a. Wilson, presiding. The outcome of this hearing, according to Mr. Hoyle, was that the Continental Cas ualty Company was ordered to pay Mr. Covert, up to October 1, 1930, fur ther payments to be decided at a hearing to be held in January, 1931. At a later hearing it was ordered that Mr. Covert report to the Duke Uni versity Hospital, where he was ex amined by Dr. Eagles. The examin ation, as reported by Dr. Eagles, re vealed the former officer’s hearing only fifty per cent normal and his general condition such as to make it impossible for him to 'perform la bor. I The insurance company had not, prior to the last hearing, and as yet, stated Mr. Hoyle, paid the injured man any compensation covering the period since October 1st. Richard Chamberley, the assailant of Mr. .Covert, was afterward tried and convicted of assault with a dead ly weapon. axe they left the earth and that grey hounds could hardly have caught them.

The Hinsdale .so-called luxury tax bill, which em bodies a tax upon all tobacco pro ducts, soft drinks, confections, amuse ments, ammunition, playing Cards, documents anud automobiles in sup port of the public schools, passed the House by a vote of 61 to 31 and the Senate by a vote of 27 to 22. Spirited oposition from the mer chants of the State and others avertr ed the general sales tax bill and id this battle the local merchants asso ciation took a prominent part. Only Tuesday thirty-eight telegrams ’were dispatened to State Democratic lead ers in Raleigh vigorously protesting the enactment of a general sales tax and reminding these leaders that the association in the future expected to take a part in politics. Telegrams were sent Governor O. Max Gardner, Josephus Daniels, Senator W. P. Horton, Union L. Spence and others. A telegram directed to R. J. Reyn olds Tobacco Company by the local body expressed surprise that this Company had taken a stand in favor of the Day general sales tax provis ion which meant destruction for the smaller merchants of the state upon whom the tobacco cmcem is so dependent.

BAIN BRINGS ] SUIT AGAINST , DOCTOR NORMAn Damages For the Sum of $50,* 000 For Alienation of Wife’s Affections—Dr. Norman, in Filing Answer, Denies Every j Charge, t A few weeks ago a story appeared in some of tfye daily papers to the effect that J. W. Bain, formerly of Sanford, hut who for the past few years, has made his home in Fayf ( etteville, had brought suit against Dr. J. H. Norman, physician of the North Carolina State prison at Ra-! leigh, for lamage to the amount of j , $50,000 for alleged alienation of the affections of the plaintiff’s wife, j The defendant, in filing answer, j through his attorney*, Briggs and : Broughton, of Raleigh, to the charg-j esl contends that any and ail rela- j , ti'ons between him and the plaintiff’s , wife were proper, respectful, and free 1 from any wrongful intent, purpose or Talked of Father’s Condition. i The answer admits that the defend ant carrien on long-distance telephone I conversations, with Mrs. Bain but claims they were entirely proper and | related solely to the condition of the | latter’s father, who is an inmate of the State Prison and in ill health, i Mrs. Bain was very solicitous about her father and made frequent trips to the prison to see him, it is stated, and the meetings between her and the defendant hinged solely on the fact it is stated in the answer. | The answer makes one other ad mission which it endeavors to turn' to the account of the defendant. “It > is not denied that the plaintiff’s wife has been forced on account of the j plaintiff’s mistreatment to separate herself from the plaintiff with her ( two children and make her home in ' Sanford/’ is the language of the . attorneys. The allegation is then made that Mrs. Bain has been forced tp leave her husband three or four times during their eight years of ' married life by his “wrongful, bru tal and vicious” treatment.

B. Gunter, of Greensboro, and Chardles W. Gunter, of Gastonia. Mr. Gunter was never happier than when teaching the thirty odd mem bers of the young men’s class of the Sunday school of the Christian church. He was personally inter ested in each member and kept in touch with them. He manifested an interest in church affairs and from year to year served his -church in va rious capacities.

BAGBY ADDRESSES THE KIWANIS CLUB Appeals to the Oub to Use Its Influence to Improve the Mor al and Religious Condition of the Community and Not Be “An Innocent Bystander,” Like Irvin Cobb—Expressions of Sympathy For Frank An drews, Who Was Called Away on Account of the Death of His Wife’s Mother. Rev. Frank C. Hawkins and Dr. A 3aul Bagby, of Wilson, who has been inducting a meeting at the First Baptist church, and a tourist, D. J. foung, of Keepworth, N. J., were the quests of the Kiwanis Club at its neeting at the Carolina Hotel last Friday night. Dr. Bagby, the speaker of the occasion, ‘was introduc 'd by Mr. Hawkins. Dr. Bagby is lot only a preacher of great ability, jut expresses himself well on any subject with which he is familiar. After a few wholesome jokes he dis cussed the question of religion in con lection with civic work, and appealed to the Kiwanis Club to use its influ ence to improve the moral and religi ous condition of the town and commu nity. He quoted Irvin Oobb as having said that in religious matters he was an “innocent bystander.” He could not understand why Irvin Cobb should take this position in religious matters unless it was due to a lack of courage and bravery in taking a stand for the higher things in life. Sympathy was expressed for Mr. and Mrs. E. Frank Andrews, who were called away to attend the funeral of Mrs. Andrew's mother. President J. A. Overton read a let ter from Perry R.

HAS RAINED ON TEN CONSECUTIVE SATURDAYS “Rain, rain, .go away,come again an other day,” might well be the ditty locally. For it has rained on ten consecutive Saturdays, those who keep tab on the weather antics tell us. Folks are beginning to feel that tCn wet Saturdays furnish just too much dampness for comfort, and knocks up too many week end plans. On many of these Saturdays the rain has con tinued over into Sunday, or has left the weather too’ chilly for comfort. In fact, there has been little let up in wet .Saturdays and Sundays since Easter, and that occasion was one of the Wettest on record here, with rain on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, in terfering with the Sunday promenade and Sunday services to say nothing of the egg hunts it nipped in the mak ing.
