ESTABLISHED 1876 LINCOLNTON. N. C, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 21. 192J. 5 Cents Per Copy, $2.00 Per Tear. 449 HAVE REGISTERED FOR BOND ELECTION Inquiry of the registrars of the four city precincts, who are booking voters for the school bond electio'n, which is to be held March 29th, shows that a total of about 449 voters had registered for the bond election when last Saturday's days work was finish ed. The registration Saturday was quite lively. However with less than a week in ,vhich to register, there will likelv be manv who will fail to get on the books. It is estimated that there are perhaps 200 more votejs who are entitled to register, and mrny of these Will get on the books before next Sat urday noon, at which time the books close. Wards 1 and 2, are running a race It would seem, both of these wards have heavy registrations. The regis trations thus far by wards stand: Ward 1, J. L. Thompson registrar, 160 registrations. Ward 2. R. H. Bellinger registrar, 130. Ward 3, L V. Padgett, registrar, 95. Ward 4, G. L. Heavner, registrar, 64. The movement for $2Q0,00O bonds for improvement of Lincolnton schools was started at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher's Association gome weeks ago, when the school trustees stated the needs of the city schools. The auditorium, where the meeting was held, was wall filled, and a large majority of those present en dorsed the movement by standing to their feet, and those have rendered valuable service since in rousing in terest in the bond election, and they have succeeded well as in seen from the registration to date. And no doubt they will continue their efforts, each of them until all :vrc registered and cast their vote. The time is growing short. The registration books for school election close next Saturday at 12 noon. It is hoped that every voter will prepare to express themselves, and that they will vote thinking of the issue on its own merit. Other things can take their turn. The issue is whether Lin colnton indorses big school progress This town is growing rapidly and will continue to grow ii ti.e school equip ment continues adequate. At the pre sent rate of growth it is not likely that the proposed bond issue will be enough for more than 10 years at the most, and perhaps 5 years. Lincoln ton's growing. Register before Saturday next at 12 noon so you can vote "For School Bonds,'' soon. VIOLENT HAILSTORM HIT WESTERN GEORGIA Macon, Ga., March 16.

Oscar Huss spent the night in the city jail. spiring to steal express snipments from the United States government. "O. L. Smith, baggagemaster, found a trunk full of whiskey," said the wit ness. "We pushed it into my car and while we were examining it Captain J. N. Smith, conductor, came in, and remarked 'You don't catch this often.' "When we reached- Byron we had taken everything out of the trunk ex--cept a blanket. The trunk was to be put off there, so we pushed it back into the baggage car. Captain Smith told us not to put if off until the train had discharged its passengers and we were ready to ride. I put my hand on the bell cord and as Captain Smith gave the signal I pulled the cord and we pushed off the trunk. Two men were there to catch the trunk. We could hear them cursing as we pulled out, for they could tell by its weight that it was empty. When we reached Macon we had 18 quarts, which I gave to R. J. Gardner to sell for us, I never erot much money for it Attorneys for the defense attempt ed ito have this evidence ruled out, but Judge Evans permitted it to stay in.

March 17. The finding of a larce quantity of whiskey by first grade pupils of the Waughtown pub- school in this county, of which some of them imbided too freely and became intoxicated, together with other alleged bold activities of boot lejreers in the Waughtown section, brought forth a large attended mass meeting in that section tonight when a decision was reached to submit i long petition asking for road senten ces for all whiskev dealers and con demning the issuance of pardons for such offenses.

The child was at once taken in and was found to be a somewhat undernourish ed girl not over four weeks old. It was clad sparsely but- was enfolded in a heavy blanket which bore a tag showing that it had been purchased from a local drygoods store. Beside the babgy was a baby's bottle full of milk. The local Community Welfare association- was called in today, Mr. McLaughlin saying that while he would do all for the foundling he could, he and his wife could not well take charge of it permanently.

Not satisfied with stealing of oil and gas, the culprits left the spigots open and the liquid flowed out for sev eral hours. This caused the largest loss.

Mcintosh, Stanley, JN. U., in N. C. Christian Advocate. I believe now is the time for the church and newspapers es pecially religious papers to ral ly to the cause of enforcement of prohibition. Making and trans portation of whiskey can be stop ped. Whiskey -can no more be manufactured and sold and kept secret than can criminal assault or murder or larceny! Every time we see a person staggering from the influence of whiskey we know it has been unlawfully made. It is not money we need to stop it. It is citizens. A few Sundays ago I asked my Sunday school class: "Can a man be a true citi zen and not be a Christian?'' My class answered that in the nega tive. That being true, we have ma terial enough m our churches and Sunday schools to blot out every illicit distillery in our country Why wait for the government to offer us money to report these things to the officials? No. We don't expect pay. Whiskey is worse than any of the above named crimes, because it is either directly or indir ectly the cause of most crime. Some time ago two of our neighbors found a still. It had been several weeks since it had rained; there were women and children's tracks around the still, which was evidence that some of our women and children had known of this unlawful work and had kept it a se cret. This is usually where the trou ble lies. Too many people who claim to be moral citizens know of these things and keep them to themselves. We remember Christmas one of our neighbors, who is rated as one of our best men, said he knew where a quan tity of whiskey was to be sold that night. Our deputy sheriff begged him to tell, but he would not. We could recall several instances of this kind. You know of them. We ought to stand by our officers and help them in their trying times and not expect pay. They are getting no extra pay for their drive on the moonshiners, besides putting their lives at stake. If our officers were to get two or three times the salary they are now getting they could do no more than they are doing. It is public sen timent that does things. Why don't these lawbreakers put up plants to manufacture money? It would be easier made easier trans ported and harder detected than whis key. They know such a plan couldn't last. Why? Because public sentiment wouldn't allow it. Our Lincoln county sheriff and his deputies are being censured by a cer tain class of people for their efficient Work against these "bootleggers." The ought to answer like one man answered another next day after Mr. Abernethv had run down the man from-Columbia, S. C. He said: "That was a terrible thing about that fellow getting killed, wannt it?' B said: "Yes, it was bad." A said: "I would not have run a man to his death like that, had I been sheriff, for a few gallons of whiskey, would you?" B said: "Yes I would, but if I liked whiskey as well as you do, I would not have.'' It is nusually the appetite and not the man that speaks. "We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmi ties of the weak." Let us as a church get down to bu siness and create a sentiment that is so strong that whiskey can no more stay here in our fair country than it could in Bro.

BEAR IS SEEN NEAR Hickory, March 17. Six plain clothes policemen will be put to work ferreting out liquor violations here, Chief of Police Lentz said today, as a result of the action of city council at its regular week'" meeting investing this authority in the chief and City Manager Henry. Complaint is made that in the outskirts of the city, which lacks the better police protection of the business district, the retailers ply a brisk trade in contraband leaving the minute an officer starts in their direction. THE CITY OF MONROE Monroe, March 17 R. H. Gor don and family saw a good sized bear cross a field near their home two miles west of Monroe yesterday morning about 10 o'clock. The bear was going in a southerly direction and was going at pretty good speed. Mr. Gordon and his family who were in their yard got a good view of bruin. Mr. Gordon went to a sawmill near by and told the men what he had seen and they started out on a hunt for the bear, but as they had no dogs the chase had to be given up. The bear's tracks were plainly seen in plowed ground in an old field that had been iburned ovler the day .before. There have been reports about a bear being at large near town for a week or more.
