of High Point,’from a five-year term on
the Guilford county roads, Lester Pell,
young white man, convicted of breaking
j into the plant of thfc Consolidated Hos
|iery Alills. High Point, this afternoon
j went on the stand and confessed to per
| jury, so far as his testimony implicating
Shipton was concerned. i
’ I couldn't go there and make my time
and see au innocent man making his,”
said Pell. He was under sentence for
four years, as was Wade McDowell,
young white man implicated in the break
ing case. Judge J. T. Shaw said that
he would hear a motion to set aside the
verdict concerning Shipton at. next term
of Guilford criminal court, Shipton to
give SI,OOOO bond which he did. Ship
ton was night watchman of the plant.
Judge Shaw told Solicitor J. S. Spruill

LLOYD GEORGE’S
i PASSION FOR READING
‘Speds Great Part of Each Day Reading
j Newspapers ami Books.
! London, Sept. 29.—N0 inconsiderable
Part of the luggage which Air. Lloyd
(George is taking with him when he sails
today to begin his long-anticipated visit
to the 1 nited States'and Canada consists
of several large parcels of books and the
latest issues of British and Continental
j magazines, with which the former Pre
mier expects to beguile the time during
the voyage across, the Atlantic. Without
; something to read. Lloyd George would
be a miserable man. '
Throughout his career he has been an
inveterate reader. No matter what the
crisis—and his life has been full of cri
ses—he seldom has failed to spend sev
eral hours of each day in reading official
papers, newspapers, or books.
Unlike Earl Balfour, who once confess
ed that he did not read newspapers. Mr.
Lloyd George has a passion for them. He
is always anxious to buy papers. If he
hears a newsboy crying out the headlines
in the streets lie must buy a paper. News
papers of all classes and of all shades of
political opinion appear to be of equal
J interest to him. Indeed, he is as avari
! cions for news as some men are for mo
ling results.
During his long tenure in the premier
jship, 7 o'clock in the interning found him
I looking thrtmgh the newspapers, while
the evening —papers lie read almost as
soon as they arrive. He delights in a
celebrated court trial just as much as
the ordinary individual, taking the keen
est interest in the manner in which the
cases are conducted by the opposing coun
sel. He likes to point out what the
counsel might have said and what he did
not say. or how well the counsel put his
case, or how skillfully the witues evaded
the searching question. He has an add
ed interest iu such matters, no doubt,
from the fact that the law was his own
profession.
Whether in or out of office, lie has
made it a practice to read all important
political speeches. He likes to criticise
the speaker's methods aud. discriminate
between the good and ban passages.
Papers of all sorts —religious, secular,
and literary—interest him. except the
technical press. He has never yet been
seen studying the pages of a\i automobile
journal or any other of tlie so-called class
publications.
With regard to bonks. Lloyd George
always has several at hand —nowadays
usually novels. Historical novels are
his favorites, and he has almost the pas
sion of a schoolboy for tales of adven
ture and daring, his tuvorite character
in fiction being Alan Breck, the hero
of •’Kidnapped," which he has read many
• times.
As to novels. “The Uloister and t*he
Hearth." lie admits to having read six
or eight times in the course of his life.
He thinks it one of the most wondeKul
novels ever written. His favorite novel
ists are Dickens. Scott. Dumas. Uonau
Doyle. Ruberf Louie Stevenson, Bulwer
Lyttou, .May me Reid. Charles Reade,
Fenimore Cooper, Mary Johnston. Jack
London. Kipling. Stanley We.vman. and
other similarly vivid writers.
Apart from novels he has no favorite
books, except perhaps Macauley s "Es
says”—one of the first books he read as
a hoy. Stories of great battles, history,
travel, and biography interest him large
ly. while, although generally speaking,
lie takes no delight in English verse, he
still loves to read Shakespeare.
His knowledge of the Bible is far more
detailed than that of any other book,
which is no doubt due to his early train
ing and environment. .A real lover of
sermons, he likes to read them as well
as hear them, and is said to have re
marked that lie would rather have Seen n
great preacher than prime minister.
Goff. Taken at Hickory', is Carried to
Raleigh.
Hickory. Sept. 29.—John G. Goff,
state convict trusty accused of attack
ing an aged white woman near Spruce
Pine, was arrested by Burke county of
ficers near Hickory late this afternoon
and on orders of Superintendent Busbee,
was sent tonight to Raleigh in charge of
City Alanager Ballew and Assistant
Police Chief Sigmon.
Goff was eating crackers and cheese
when the Burke officers found him about
two miles east of town.

Lentz, denied attempting to assault the
white woman, but admitted luring her
from the house in order to steal a pair
of shoes.
The convict had ridden into Hickory
on a local freight tram, lie said, and was
making his way eastward.
News of the arrest and start to Ra
leigh was not generally known here until

CHAPEL HILL POSTOFFICE
' Crowded Condition .Makes Securing of
Mail By Studets a Steady Occupa
tion.
Chapel Hill. Sept. 28.—Relief fur the
present crowded conditions at the post
office is uncertain and impossible for
sometime to come, according to the latest
information received from Postmaster
Herndon and the universities. Govern
ment regulations, and shortage of help
all combines to cause the serious icon
fusion now existing.
The Chapel Hill pnxtoffice provides
for 881 boes. 350 of which are used by
the township people and faculty, leaving
approximately 530 boxes for 2.200
students. The postoffice regulations nl
!ow only one family to a box. but the
local station is obliged to violate this
by crowding three and sometimes four
in a bix under the excuse of an emer
gency. yiie general deliery numbers 1,-
000, mostly students, who wait in long
lines stretching to the sidewalk all hours
of the day.
Shortage of help has added tq the
trouble of the postoffice staff. Five
regular clerks are working overtime,
contrary to the official S-liour day. in an
effort to meet the situation. They ' re
ceive no pay for overtime work- In ad
dition to tlie regulars there are two
sub-clerks, one of whom is now in the
infirmary: the assistant postmaster has
been ill for a year.
A petition protesting the situation and
demanding relief is being circulated
I among the faculltly. students and town-
I people.

EXPLODES ANCIENT THEORY
THAT RED ENRAGES BULLS
Bulls Act Same Against Any Other Color
as They Do Against Red.
San Francisco. Sept. 29. —Waving a
red flag before a bull has no more sig
nifleance than waving a pink, green, pnr
p e. or white flag because bulls, in keep
ing with other aiimals, are color blind,
according to Or. G. M. Stratton, head
of the department of peychologly. Uni
versity of California. Berkeley, Calif.,
who has just completed a six months'
investigation of the subject.
' Dr. Stratton and his assistants waved
red flags in the faces of bulls and other
animal's, and the reaction was one of
curiosity and not anger, he says. Black,
white, green, and yellow colors were
tried, with the same effect. After try
ing cows, calves, steers and bulls. Dr.
Stratton says he is sure that the entire
i bovine family is devoid of color 'sight.
His conclusions, Dr. Stratton says,
lead him to believe that:
1. Bulls show no strong excitement
over any color. ft
2. Interest, hesitation and mild mis
trust were shown* in a banner or any
strange thing.
3. ' There wag no reaction that could
be discerned toward any particular color,
but the brightness of the color and the
flutter of the banner were more effective
than the color.
4. There was no special reaction to
ward red as against green, or toward
red and green as against black and
white.
o. There was greater reaction and in
terest toward white than any other col
or, but the reaction in the wild animals
was no greater than in the tame.
The investigators. Dr. Stratton (raid,
interviewed <i<s persons familiar with cat
tle. and r>3 denied the popular theory
that red ringers bulls.
