The work being done by North Carolina for its children was stressed and parents were urged to join hands with the teachers in pushing forward the work for the children. Superintendent B. L. Smith an nounced prizes, awards, medals, etc,, to be given during the year. He outlined the work for the year, and solicited the same fine spirit of helpfulness that has al ways been manifested in the com munity. The announcement that Dr. E. C. Brooks, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, had accept ed an invitation to deliver an ad dress on the opening of the new school building was received with pleasure. People throughout the section will look forward to his coming as the occasion of the year. We are to be congratulated on this good fortune. A definite date will be given out some time soon.

MILLER LEAVES HOSPITAL Taken to Her Home Wednesday— Officers Are Charged with As sault With Intent to Kill. . Mrs. I. B. Miller, who has been in the Rutherford Hospital fight ing bravely for her life, following the shooting of Sept. 6, rallied sufficiently to be removed to her home at Caroleen yesterday. Chances for her ultimate recov ery now seem bright. That her hie may be spared is the sincer est wish of every one in the county and state. ♦ * * Solicitor Draws Indictments The Shelby Star, Sept. 19, says: Solicitor 11. L. Hoffman, who is here for the term of Superior court, yesterday drew bills of in dictment against Evon L. Houser, Deputies J. A. Wesson and Perley Hoyle and Carl Short, charging all of them with assault with in tent to kill as a 'result of the wound inflicted last week upon Mrs. I. B. Miller of Caroleen, when the car in which she was riding with her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and two children was fired upon at Casar, the officers thinking the car was filled with liquor. Solicitor Hoffman heard on the streets that Prohibition Enforcement officer Kohloss of Salisbury was here Saturday to investigate the shooting and that he reported that he would under- I take to have Houser, his deputy, | tried in the Federal Court, while Hoj'le, Wesson and Short would be ieft to take their chances in the Superior court. Solicitor Hoff man said he would resist with all possible force, the moving of Houser's case to the Federal Court and will undertake to have a true bill of indictment returned against the four men in the Su perior court of Cleveland county. Mr. Kohloss, head of the prohi bition enforcement in this part of the state, came here Saturday and went with Houser and others to Casar to investigate the shoot ing, contending that Houser did not fire a shot and that Houser did not have authority to depu tize Wesson and Hoyle to assist him in the raids. It is under stood Houser has affidavits pur porting to show that he did not shoot, so it seems there is an ef iort to place all of the blame on Deputies Hoyle and Wesson and get Houser out of court. Wesson and Hoyle had been as sisting- Houser in his raids and it is contended that they were act ing- under his leadership and dir ection in blocking the road and holding up the two families with their children. Solicitor Hoffman will also make an effort if he gets a true bill of the indictment against them from the grand jury, to have their bonds increased. They were released by Recorder Falls under bonds in the sum of SSOO each. The case cannot be tried at this term of the court but will have to await the outcome of Mrs. Miller's condition.

Flack Hardware Co. $1.50 per year, in Advance JUMPS BEFORE MOVING TRAIN Miss Jennie Belle Keeter Meets Almost Instant Death When Struck By Southern Engine Near Rutherfordton. (Special to Courier.) Rutherfordton, Sept. 20. —Miss Jennie Belle Keeter, aged 49, was run over and killed almost in stantly by Southbound Southern passenger train No. 114, Sunday morning about 6:30 o'clock, about one and one-half miles from her home near Gilkey. The engineer states that he saw the woman walking along the track, but thought nothing of it, until she sprang into the track, facing the approaching train. It was then too late to stop the train. She was struck and knock ed to one side. The train crew took Miss Keeter to the depot, but she died about 10 minutes af ter having been struck by the engine. It is said that she was mangled very slightly. Miss Keeter, who resided with her sister, Miss Delia Keeter, and a nephew, Mr. Thad Keeter, at their country home about one mile south of Gilkey, had been in declining health for some time, and it is presumed that she had wandered from home to the rail road where the fatal accident oc curred. Besides her sister and nephew, Miss Keeter is survived by a brother, Mr. G. W. Keeter, who lives in Gilkey township, and oth er relatives who live in the coun ty. Funeral service was held from Gilboa Methodist Episcopal church, South, where she held her membership, conducted by her pastor, Rev. E. N. Crowder, of Rutherfordton, this afternoon.
