Willing To Marry But Did Not Have Necessary Money They both had the same notion as to marriage, but neither of them had any money, so a young chap and his would-be bride went away from the court house last Saturday without the little slip of paper so necessary to wedded bliss. Register of Deeds Jess Galloway tells that the young coupie came into his office, shyly, as many of them do, and "er-ah-uh” asked_ if they might get a license. Certainly, they were told, and the register started filling out the blank spaces on the certificate. All questions were answered with a little hesitancy, as the couple evi dently were not of the Hollywood Reno type that go about getting mar ried every so often and then divorced and married again all in the short span of a few months. After the blanks were a!! filled, the girl signed the name of her swain and her own name, and seemed to be very happy indeed that this ordeal was over . . . but “Thst wiil be five dollars, please.” said Mr. Galloway in his suave man ner. “Huh! Five dollars! Why we didn't know we had to pay anybody but the preacher, and we just barely got enough to pay hirn ... Is that right'.’ Five dollars'?” And the statement was reiterated—three dolars. to the state and two dollars to the county, making a total of five of Uncle Sam’s one dollar bills. So, like the young man that hRd many possessions, “they went away sorrowful” with the happiness gone from their faces.

MASTERS MURDER TAKES QUEER TURN Louie Whitmire and Arthur Petit Each Serve Terms On Separate Counts Louie Whitmire, of Rosman, is now in the state prison serving a sen tence of from fifteen to twenty-five years for the murder of Jess Mas ters. ! Arthur Petit, of Rosman, returned to his home Sept. 19th after serv ing a littie over four years of a five to fifteen year sentence for th<. murder of Jess Masters. Masters was slain on August 15, 1926, and his badly decomposer! body found nineteen days later. Louie Whitmire, Tal W. Petit anil Arthur Petit were arrested follow ing finding of the body of Masters in September, 1926, and a coroner's jury released the two Petits, hold ing Whitmire to the December term of Superior court at which time he was tried and convicted without going on the stnnd and sentenced to serve from fifteen to twenty-five years for the crime. After serving four years of his sentence, Whitmire was paroled by Governor 0. Max Gardner and al lowed to return to his home. How ever, Whitmire did not stay clear of the law very long and was soon ar rested on a charge ef larceny. Faced with the problem of going back to the penitentiary to complete his sentence, Louie told Sheriff '!' E. Patton and Jailer Tom Wood thu* it was Arthur Petit who slew Mas ters and that he (Whitmire) should not be returned to the pen. His stoiy ■was checked and sounded plausible. Investigation of the matter was made and Arthur Petit ami hr uncle, Tal Petit, were arrested am! and held to court. Tal Petit was released, and Arthur tried on the charge, with Whitmire appearing as chief witness for the state. Judge Hoyle Sink, presiding at the term of court, sentenced young Petit to the pen for a term of from five to fifteen years.

Legislative Session Still Problematical An extra session of ihc- state Jog islatuie may be called, according to Wade Lucas, city ed'.Mr of Tlte Raleigh Times, afternoon paper of the Capitol City and commentator on things political in The E 'inlay Char lotte Observer. And the:. there very probably will be no < xt .: session o. the legislature, Mr. Lu : s says. In his Sunday column 'n The Ob server last Sunday .Mr. Lucas ans wers a query from Tht Transylva nia Times as follows: C. M. Douglas, of Brevard, writes to ask if we know who or if Gov ernor Eliringhlius will call a special session of the legislature. The gov ernor hardiy is likely to call any special session if lie can possibly Rot around it. When lie deems the occasion ripe he may cut loose with something anant the serial securitv act s;nd how it affects tris state, and at the same time don’t be surprised if he says there will not be any special session. At the risk of fretting out on a limb and having His Excellency saw off said limb, we will say, Mr. Doug las, that, if a special session should, be called around the first of the year, don’t be surprised. So also don’t be surprised if later on yon learn that the sales tax is bringing in so much money that if may not be necessary to have the lawmakers and laugh-provokers, if the legislators may be called that, back in Ruhigh this winter. Of course, there may bo a ques tion of using the sales tax money for such things as an old age pension as sistance, but former Gov. 0. Max Gardner will hardly be surprised to learn that the. state revenue stream he once saw dry almost completely I up now looks like a river cutl ing | great big capers. !
