A coroner's jury last night freed Charles Dry of responsibility for the death of Mabel Hinson, seven* who died in the Concord Hospital yester day morning of injuries received Mon day when struck by Dry’s car. Dry was called to the stand after being advised that he did not have to testify unless he wanted to. “I want to tell the truth, God knows I do,” the man sobbed as he took the stand. “I would not have done it for all the world if it could have been helped.” Five witnesses in addition to Dry were called before the jury, the evi dence of the eye witnesses indicating the child ran from behind a truck di rectly into the path of Dry’s car. Ernest Shaw, the first witness, said he saw the Dry car coming, running about 15 miles an 4iour, saw the child run out of the store and tried to stop her. “I was standing beside a truck parked in front of the store,” Shaw said. “The girl came running out of the store, with her little brother walking. I saw the car and darted around the truck to try to hold the girl back. Just as I got around the truck, Dry’s car struck her. If the boy had been running like the girl was, he would have been killed too.’ ; Reece Hatley said he was driving east and Dry west and their cars met near the store. He said lie saw the girl step from behind the truck into the path of Dry’s car. C. C. Sloop and C. G. Ridfnhour, patrolmen, and G. H. Humphreys said they measured the Dry car’s tracks to see how far the car moved after strik ing the girl. In all the car moved about 30 feet, they said. It did not move that far, Shaw and Hatley said, after the child dropped from the bumper. Shaw said Dry did not wait to stop the car before jumping out and rushing to the injured chi d. Dry was crying when he was called to the stand and he testified between sobs. “God knows I wouldn’t have hurt that child for anything.” he said. “She was over at my house every day. and I don’t think I’ll ever get over this. If her little brother had been running I would hav& hit him too. I couldn’t help it. She ran right into my car as I got to the truck. I couldn’t see her for the truck.” Dry said he worked in the store from which the child ran out, and in tended to stop just beyond the truck. He Raid he thought he was travelling 10 or 15 miles an hour. “I haven’t eaten or slept since the accident,” Dry said as sobs shook his body. “The little girl’s left hand caught on the bumper of the car and as soon as I saw it I put on all my brakes. She was carried with the car a few feet and then fell off. “After I pulled on the brakes I lumped from the car,before it stopped and ran to her. The car ran off to the side of the road. I thing I got out about the time she fell from the bumper, and I have done every thing I could for her.” The accident occurred on the Sun derland Hall road Monday morning. The child had been to the store to get some beans, and these were scat tered about the road after she was struck. She never regained conscious ness. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ollie Hinßon. The Drys and Hin sons are next-door neighbors and the tragic ending of the accident has cast a pall of g’oom over the entire com munity. Funeral services were held this af ternoon at 2 :30 at the home and inter ment made in Union cemetery. MAN ARRESTED IN CHARLOTTE IS NOW IN CABARRUS JAIL — / J. R.

A1 Smith ta not the man for presi dent . This is the opinion of mem bers of the Mecklenburg-Cabarrus Baptist Association which closed its 42nd annual convention at Pritchard Memorial Church in Charlotte Wed nesday. Disfavor for the New Yotk governor arises because of his anti temperance proclivities. Politics, and A1 Smith drew the at tention of the association shortly be fore adjournment. “We should never vote for a man who wants liquor back,” said C. E. Mason, aged lay man, in the course of a talk follow ing the report on temperance by Rev. S. F. Conrad. A chorus of “amens” echoed the auditorium. “If you e.ect a man who wants liquor,” said Mr. Mason, “you will see him appointing some week-kneed fellow as secretary of the treasury who will not have the 18th amend ment enforced.” Mr. Conrad in commenting upon his report on temperance stated: “There is to be a meeting here starting an A1 Smith-for-presidcnt movement. I want to tell you now that the people of Cabarrus and Meck lenburg Association are not going to support a man who votes for liquor.” Another chorus of “Amens” 6wept over the convention floor. Elect Officers. D. W. Fink, of Charlotte, was re e’ected as moderator at the closing hour of the meeting. Rev. W. L. Griggs was made vice moderator and Luther Earnhardt, of Concord, was reelected clerk and treasurer. The 43rd annual meeting of the organiza tion will be held next year at Ar lington Church in Clear Creek town ship, Mecklenburg. The high spot of the association meeting came in Mr. Conrad s report. In part, it was as follows: “The question of alcohol and what to do with it has been one of many years of agitation and discussion. Many expedients have been resorted to and tried. Licensed saloons wer* tried and failed. Local option was tried and failed, and now the devil is raising a great howl in the news papers in seeking to make the con stitutional amendment a failure. “There can be no question at all that its abolishment is an article of merchandise and restricting it to its proper and necessary uses, is the on ly proper method with which to deal with it. “The thing now to be done is to enforce the laws. The Christian world and the people who stand for good morals and good citizenship should stand as a unit against all who are clamoring for its return to public and unrestricted use. If the moral and religious forces will stand together and vote for men who are for the constitution and enforcemerjl of the laws, putting it under tHe ban, it will never return again to public and unrestricted use.” Later, Mr. Conrad declared that a ehunch member who would deal with a “blind tiger” should be turned out of the church. Mr. Mason declared that, although be had read of the large number of liquor dealers on Tryon street, he 'hnd never been able to find any of them.

When the property of these corporations is listed the to tal for the county will pass the $45,- 000,000 mark. The abstract shows more mules than horses listed in the county, rrv-re hogs than cows and a scarcity of sheep. It also shows that many dog owners place a high value on their canine pets. Listed with the supervisor are 6,- 959 town lots valued at $9,696,094. this total allowing $3,987 for the con stitutional exemption. It is inter esting to note that the approximately 7.000 town lots are listed for more than the 221,058 acres of farm land. Manufacturing property adds much to the total, this property, outside and inside incorporated towns, being listed at a value of $16,969,094. Other items in the abstract follow: No. polls, 5,693. 1,868 horses valued at $77,753. 3.096 mules valued at $183,303.

Doughton, while in Concord yesterday. Mr. Doughton spent several hours here with friends, - and went to Albemarle from this city. He \ land to go to Washington the latter part ot he week to look after details incident to the opening of Congress. He will return home before going to the capi tal for the regular session. As a member of the ways and means committee, one of the most im portant in Congress, Mr. uougnton feels that he will be of more benefit to his party than ever before. “My appointment to the committee I ac cept as a tribute to my district,” Mr. Doughton said. In hits committee will ogirinate many of the important ques tions Congress must decide. Mr. Doughton said it was probaole that tax reductions would be affected by flood relief legislation- It wi 1 take millions to make the Mississippi safe, in his opinion, and the amount appropriated for this work may de termine the extent of the tax reduc tions. In his opinion corporation taxes will get first consideration, since theee "have been increased ’n some instances. It Is also possible, he said, that the tax on automobile will be en tirely abolished .since the automobile is now a necessity almost. The ways and means committee has been called to meet October 31st, uno Mr. Doughton will be in Washington permanently after that date. He ex pects the approaching meeting of h’ s committee to be an unusually im portant one.
