Shipman CASE IS rSnDED FOR NEW SENTENCE RALEIGH, Oct. 19.—The state supreme court today al lowed the state’s motion to docket and dismiss the appeals from denial of a new trial in the cases of Thomas Shipman, J. H. Pickelsimer, C. R. Mc- Neeley and Ralph Fisher in the Transylvania county banking cases, growing out of the close of the Brevard Banking com pany. It also allowed the state’s motions dismissing appeals of Wallace B. Davis, of Asheville, and of Luke Lea and Luke Lea, Jr., in the conspiracy case in connection with the affairs of the Central Bank and Trust company, and also that of Davis in which he is under conviction for the issuance of a false re port on the condition of the Central Bank and Trust com pany.

Under these circumstances, it will be necessary for the lower court to reimoose sentence, the court ruled. The state’s motion was also allowed for the docketing- and dismissal of the appeal of the J. Mack Rhodes case, from Hen derson county, which had also been taken from the denial of a new trial.

Cherry, prom inent attorney of (iastonia, leader of many of the Transylvania county soldiers who volunteered for service in the World War, spoke to a large crowd at the courthouse Saturday .night, and flayed President Hoo- and the Republican leaders for their “mismanagement of govern mental affairs for the past eleven years. Captain Cherry, talked inter estingly of his adventures and comradeship with the Transylva- county men who' served with him in the World war, and recited several amusing incidents in con nection with his association with the local soldiery. Launchin.g into his speech the speaker pointed to the policies pursued by the Republican lead- since 1920, and charged the leaders of that party with unfaith fulness. He derided the promises made in 1028 of “a chicken for every pot, a car for every garage, and the total abolishment of pov erty from the land,” and pointed to 11,000,000 men which he said are now out of work and are beg ging for a chance to earn bread by the sweat of their brow. Captain Cherry charged that the n.ational government under Republican leadership had loaned billions of dollars in gold to for eign countries for which they re ceived worthless paper in return that by so doing they had encour aged United States investors to follow suit, and that. the same leadership was granting a mora torium to these foreign debtors, while the farmer who had borrow ed from Federal Land banks, Joint Stock Land banks were be ing sold out of their homes with out any show of leniency. High tariff walls, which have been builded under the Republi can regime are responsible to a ■great extent for the general con ditions, the speaker asserted. Re taliation of debtor nations has all but paralyzed international com merce, the speaker said. He flayed President Hoover no uncertain terms for treatment accorded the ex-ser^iice men who were assembled in Washington during the last days of Congress, asking for payment of the adjust ed ■ compensation certificates. “These veterans had every right under the constitution to present their petition to the federal gov ernment,” the captain declared, “and they did it in an orderly manner; twenty thousand of them from every corner of the country (Continued on page two) full, Dpter F.

The game will start at three-thirty. Coach Tilson has been putting his boys through the paces all this week in effort to round out an offensive attack that will carry the local light aggregation to vic tory. Passing, which proved very effective in the game last Friday against Sylva is being improved upon and line plays being per fected. Tickets will be on sale at the game, and while there is no real “fence” around the high school field, it is urged by football en thusiasts that all those who at tend the game be willing to con tribute something for the main tenance of equipment and other necessary expense that is incurred in producing a football gamo. Over one hundred fifty dollars has been spent by Coach Tilson for playing equipment this season, the uniforms used for the past three years being a total wreck. It is pointed out that it is np to the fans here who enjoy the game to help take care of this expense inasmuch as there is no fund pro vided for athletic equipment in the regular school budget.
