THE COLE CASE Associated Press Installs a Special I Wire in Five Feet of the Judge. I Isaac S. London in Raleigh News and Observer. j Rockingham, Sept. 27.—The instal -1 lation of a special Associated Press : wire in the court room today, and Che j arrival of a group of staff men from i various dailies, has brought into an J even keener realization the all-state I interest in the Ccle-Ormond murder j cuse that will be called for trial to j morrow. Address Grand Jury First. i The decision as to a special venire ; from this or some other county will | not be made until tomorrow after i noon. Upon the convening of court ; at 10 o'clock Judge Finley will ad j dress the six months grand jury for ! a few moments and then that body will retire with the usual batch of bills from Che solicitor. Very prob ably the grand jury will take up the Cole murder bill first. Upon the reporting of a true bill the prisoner, W. B. (’ole. will be arraigned. After this will come the question of- a spe cial venire. Will It Be a Richmond Jury? It seems to be a foregon conclu sion that the defense will be content with a jury from Richmond county but rumor persists that the State will certainly ask for a jury from some other county. Hotels Filling Up. The hotels here are already filling up rapidly with press men, lawyers. ] friends and even onlookers moved only j bycuriosity. The lobbies were spotted j with groups tonight with the ap ; proaching trial the center of interest. I In fact this case has been tried many ; times over in almost every home in i this community since that memorable i afternoon of August 15th when W. B. Cole shot out the life of W. W. Or mond on the streets of Rockingham. Arriving here tonight from Nash ville were Rev. A. L. Ormond and three cf his children. Allison and M isses Myra and Ophelia. His other daughter. Miss Edith, remained at I home with the stricken mother who since the killing of her son six weeks ago has been practically prostrated, in fact that Og;year-old minister-husband has filled but few of his pnlpit ap pointments since that tragic after noon. Allison had intended entering Jefferson Medical College at Phila delphia but the homicide necessitated a change in his plans. Since the homicide he has remained at Nash ville. coming here today in the Ford in which his brother was killed. And so the stage figuratively speak ing is all set for what is generally considered will be the greatest legal battle in the criminal annals of t’lie State, even eclipsing the now famous Peacock and Means trials. Even the wallfs of the county jail were not immune today against curi osity seekers with scores of people filtering by at intervals merely to get i a morbid vi«w of the iron barred * window from which Mr. Cole is per i mitted to talk to friends who come into the fenced enclosure. And such ! still is the morbid sense that the local photographer has sold numbers of pic tures at one dollar each of the flower covered grave of young Ormond taken on the afternoon of his burial. And a thrifty young man at Roberdel Mill has placed an order for 500 additional copies of a leading state daily with all other dailies figuring largely in increased sales. With the Associated Press having a wire directly into the court room within five feet of where Judge Fin ley sits with the other big news gath ering agences well protected and every leading state daily having a special staff man here, the case will be fully covered and the public can be assured in advance that they will have an abundance of sensational reading.

THE COTTON MARKET Opened Easy Today at Decline of 13 to 2 OPoints Under Selling and Liquidation. New York, Sept 28. — (A 3 )—The cotton market opened easy today at a decline of 13 to 20 points under hedge selling and liquidation by some of Sat urday’s buyers who were evidently disapopinted by the failure of the offi cial weather advices to mention a trop ical storm. There had probably been some buying on rumors of such a dis turbance toward the end of the last week, and the situation in this re spect appeared to offset relatively steady Liverpool cables. After selling off to 23.63 for De cember. the price rallied to 23.76 but offerings increased on the upturn and the market sagged off again, showing net losses of about 8 to 25 points at the end of the first hour. Cotton futures opened easv. Oct. 23.50; Dec. 23.70; Jan. 23.00; March 23.25; May 23.45. Sues Herb Doctor For $30,000 Dam ages. Charlotte, Sept. 24.- —A suit was on file Wednesday in Mecklenburg Coun ty Superior Court, in w’hich J. B. Grooms, of Charlotte, seeks $30,000 alleged damages from J. H. Nanzetta, who describes himself as an Indian herb doctor. Mr. Grooms, in his com plaint. alleged that the defendant made a false and unlawful diagnosis of a disease, from which the plaintiff said he was suffering, and, as a re sult of “wrongful and careless treat ment” the disease was aggravated. The complaint stated that the plain tiff was suffering from a disease called “weeping eczema” and that about April 20th. after reading advertise ments and testimonials of the defend ant, who claimed to have cured such diseases, plaintiff went to Nanzetta's office, then at Wolilford’s Drug Store, here, and asked for a diagnosis and treatment. The complaint also said the plain tiff also paid $7.50 for treatment and remedies, and that instead of ex periencing relief he experienced an aggravation of his disease by reason of the treatment. The plaintiff declared he continued the treatment, however, until he paid SB9 for remedies and treatment, but experienced no relief. Instead, ac cording to the complaint, he suffered extreme discomfort because of the nature cf the treatment, was forced to live several days in a dark room, and that as a result of the treat ment his eyes became highly inflamed and were injured. The complaint also stated the de fendant is not a duly licensed physi cian under the laws of the State and is not registered as such in Meck lenburg county, where he practices. Squirrels Eating Cotton in Rowan. Mrs. A. L.

The nuts! and acorns are very scarce in the woods and the little fellows are forced | to forage in the open for whatever j they can find. So if there is no i corn field handy, they make them- j selves at home in the cotton fields.” ' Vote For Unification. Redwing.

Although three weeks have elapsed in The Concord Tribune and Times’ generous SIO,OOO free gift distribu tion, so far what is gone is mostly in time only, and not in accomplishment.

Morefield, chairman of the j police committee of the city alder-1 men, issued an appeal for co-operation in an effort to avoid accidents in the neighborhood of the city high school where automobile traffic had increas ed on account of the opening of the school. The school children w’ere ad monished to be careful and their par ents were asked to help prevent acci dents by instructions to the children about driving. By a strange whim of fate Mr. Morefield’s own daughter, Miss May, ! was the first high school student to be hurt in an accident. She was thrown i through a windshield when a car in | which she and several other high | school students were going to school; | today was in collision with a car I driven by J. W. Gardner, of Faith. Fortunately Miss May’s injuries con- j sisted only of severe bruises and shock and none of the others were hurt. j Stay Away From Florida. The Florida real estate boom has i made money for a few people and j lost it for nobody knows how many. The Statesville Landmark, as usual, hits the bull’s eye when it advises its readers to stay away from Florida— “unless you have a big bunch of money—a very big bunch. Even then, you might play safe by leaving about all the money at home and tying it up so you can't draw a check.” During the pant year dust ex plosions in mills and factories in the! United States resulted in the loss of | forty-five lives and the destruction of j property to the amount of $3,000,- ■ 000.

OPPOSES CANCELLATION OF ANY WAR DEBTS Senator Fletcher Also Makes Plea, for Less Centralization of Government- “ ai Powers. St. Petersburg. Fla., Sept. 28.—(>P) —A plea for lesß centralization of governmental powers and opposition to cancellation of foreign debt* to this country were expressed by Sena tor Fletcher, of Florida, in addressing the United Spanish War veterans in national encampment hove today. Asserting that already there are approximately 200 different bureaus and like bodies on the executive side i of the government, the senator re marked efforts are being made for an ; i increased number. The policy of the government now appears to be that of collecting what can be obtained on foreign indebted ness and applying it to the bonded obligations of the United States. The funds collected, in his opinion should be placed in the treasury so that cur rent taxes could be reduced. Referring to the permanent court of international justice, he said the United States must decide between now and next December whether it shall participate with other nations in its maintenance.
