The Lincoln County News THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1921. LINCOLNTON, N. C. HUN OFFICERS GET OFF LIGHT. Germans Given Four Years in Prison For Firing On Life Boats. Leipsk, Ger. Lieut. Dittmar and Boldt, charged with murder in the first degree for firing on life boats of the Canadian Hospital Ship, Llandovery Castle which had been torpedoed in the summer of 1918, were each sentenced to four years imprisonment. The sentence, however, did not car ry hard labor with it as demanded by the public prosecutor. The case of Ditt mar and Boldt differed from the oth ers which had been heard before the Supreme court here in connection with the trials growing out of violations of the rules of civil warface inasmuch as the two lieutenants were brought to trial by the German public prosecutor. Great Britain only had demanded the trial of Patzig of the submarine which torpedoed the Llandovery Castle. Why Not Have a "Made in Carolina Band?" Asks "Zip." Charlotte Observer. "Dear Mrs. Caldwell: "May I have a little of your most valuable time and space in your well known paper, if you please? "Just glanced at the "Made in Caro lina" page a few minutes ago and the first thing I saw was about a great big $12,000 band from New York (Pardon me if I am wrong) but does that sound like 'Made in Carolina?' Doesn't it seem a bit foolish to use as much space as the made in Carolina is using and then practically the first contract signed is for something miles and miles away from Carolina? Why not have it all from Carolina as it is to be a "Made in Carolina' show? At least 'part' of good old Carolina is being kept out. Why? I know it not because there is not any band in Carolina. "Hoping you will have time to con sider this, "I am sincerely, "Zip." July 17. home demonstration work.

THE CHILD MOTHER LOVES BEST Isn't it a wonderful thing about mothers, that they can have many children without a favorite among them? We ought to say isn't it one of the wonderful things? For pretty nearly everything about a real mother, from the time she cherryfully risks her own life to give life to the little one, thru all the years when her own welfare is second to that of each child, is wonderful. Mothers, however, are but human and subject to human frailty. Some of them show and feel a preference. This is terribly painful to the less favored one. Can you imagine any thing more sure to make a child lonely and home-sick, even in its own home, i that the knowledge that brother or is . . , , . , sister is neia aearer. Thank heaven, the large majority of mothers are blessed v.-ith such love for everyone of their children that they themselves, could not tell which comes first in their heart. They love the first born because he is the first; the latest baby because he is the youngest; the second boy for his manliness,the girl for her unselfishness, or, perhaps for her beauty or pretty ways. A mother does not need much excuse Tor loving:, but there comes a time when the most impartial of mothers realizes that there is one child whose claim on her tenderness exceeds that of all the rest. And which child is this. It is the one that needs her most. When it is sick, when it is in trouble, When it .

COTTON CROP SOMETIMES SOLD '25 TIMES OVER"- DIAL BESSEMER CITY YOUTH DIES FROM EFFECTS OF FRIENDLY BLOW. John Holland, an 18-year-old youth of Bessemer City, is dead as the result of a blow on his neck just below the ear, struck by one Dawson Hull, while the two were engaged in a friendly boxing match at nine o'clock Monday evening. The tragedy oc-. curred on the street just in front of. the motion picture theatre in BeS9em- er City. According to witnesses, the ! two voung men were engaged in a 1 friendly scuffle and boxi-"r match. There were no indications of evidences of any ill feeling. The young man fell to the ground as soon as he was) hit. He was carried into the drug store. No physicians were available in Bes- seiner City and Dr. L. N. Glenn was 1 summoned from Gastonia. The young man was dead when Dr. Glenn arrived, j Young Hull is only 16 or 17 years of age. He is a son of Mr. W. E. Hull. Later information concerning the ac cident is to the effect that the two sat down at a soda fountain for a drink after the blow was struck that sever al minutes had elapsed in friendly conversation before young Hollard collapsed, Coroner W. N. Davis was summon ed, but it is presumed that there will be no investigation as all the facts indicate that the affair was purely ac cidental. gastonia Gazette. THOSE LEGALLY DEAD, IF REVIVED, NOT SUBJECT TO LAWS OF LAND Chicago, 111., Aug. 2. A man legally executed, pronounced dead and then revived by means of a pulmotor, could commit any crime known to law, and not be liable to prosecution and legal punishment. The law couldn't recognize his ex istence. He might walk into the court room of the judge who sentenced him and kill the judge who pronounced his fate', and no hand could be laid upon him. On the other hand, he would have no protection under the law no matter what offense might be committed against him. This is one of the phases of the le gal question that has been brought up by the attempts to resusciatate into life the bodies of Sam Cardinella and Nick Viana murderers hung here re cently.. The law is taking no chances now and the bodies are being held se seral hours by the authorities after hanging an hour before they are turn ed over to the dead man's family. Chicago jurists are divided over the status of a person who might be thus revived. Judge Hugo Friend and Judge I lav rd Brothers take the stand outlin ed above. Assistant State- Attorney Lloyd Heth declared that such a complica tion would free the man. "He could walk out of the Morgue, and the law couldn't touch him. But he couldn't marry and he couldn't vote. If he were beaten up by a citizen, the citizen couldn't be punished for anything more serious than eurelty to animals.'' "There was an old theory that if the rope broke the law was fulfilled, and the man couldn't be hung again," said Judge Harry Fisher." That idea is not according to modern law. Either he's dead or alive." South Carolina Senator Speaks tn Be half of His Bill Providing for Actual Deliveries of Cotton On Future Contracts. Washington, Aug. 4. Speaking in behalf of his bill to amend the Smith-Lever, future trading act by providing for actual deliveries of cot ton on future contracts Senator Dial, democrat, South Carolina, to day declared that the cotton crop sometimes was sold "twenty-fiva times over" by future trading thus depressing spot prices. Present practices, he said amounted to "confiscation "of cotton in some in stances. He urged Congress to pass a just law giving buyers and sellers the right to choose half of the grades for delivery, as proposed by his bill. Senator Smith, his colleague, however, opposed the bill and de nied that the present law was "un just unfair or discriminatory' if properly administered. Ruling of the federal government and cotton exchanges regarding cotton grading, he said, were largely responsible for discrimination against growers. Most unfortunate Senator Smith declared, was the government order- ngainst use of cotton below middling grade in gov ernment materials. That there were "fictitious and unwarranted" differences made now in prices between middling and low er grade cotton was asserted by Senator Smith. What is needed, he said, was an amendment to the pres ent law "taxing out of existence" future contracts which provide for an unfair difference in price between different cotton grades. Mr. Smith presented cloths and yarns tested by the government which showed, he said, that in tensil strength, bleaching and other qualities the product from "fiir ordinary" cotton was as good as that made from middling cotton. Senator Dial disclaimed any at tempt to "put the cotton exchanges out of business." "I am not prepared to say that they ought not exist," he said. "Sometimes I think they should not and sometimes I think they should. But if they cannot exist under an honest law, for God's sake let them get out of business and the quicker the better." Senator Dial said he wanted cot ton contracts which would repre sent actual cotton "an honest con track which provides that if a man sells a thing he may be forced to deliver it or something like it." That a system had grown up which should not longer be "tolerated in the differences between different grades, was asserted by Senator Dial. Present low prices, he said, were due in large measure to pressure from future trading . Senator Smith argued that the law should be changed to "fix the dif ference" between the spinning quali ties of cotton bv determning the percentage of loss in the ' grades. "Manufacturers should be quired to give the price for the tual intrinsic value of cotton," Senator Smith. low re FINED $65 FOR SMOKING A PIPE. Zioii, Ills., Aug. 4. Smoking a pipe in Zion cost Frederick Stockstill $65 todav. The city, which has ordinances regulating women's dress and how its residents shall spend Sunday, also has bang against smoking. "This thing must stop," a judge re marked when he fined Stakestill. "Stop," Stockstill replied, "I'm as stopped as my name would indicate." GIANT STILL COSTING $25,000 IS UNEARTHED Chicago, July 30. A giant still.which police said cost at' least twenty-flvos thousand dollars to build, and so large that it may be necessary to dynamite , the house in which it is located, was guarded here today by police and Federal authorities. ! The still has vats that measure 14 by 18 feet and are six feet deep, while the coils ran throught the entire house Wines, alcohol, mash and "moonshine" i worth many thousand dollars were found in the house and destroyed, The still was discovered when a passerby saw smoks, and turned in a fire alarm. One of the vats was found overheated and was smoking. 1 No one was found at the ho'.ise and the proprietors have not been located NOTHING WRONG WITH BUSINESS SAYS HARDING Washingtdn, Aug. 4. Credit policies of the federal system continues under examination of a congressional com mission today in a continuously stormy athmosphere, with Governor Harding of the reserve board, as the sole witness. "The federal reserve board didn't create this financial depression,'' Gov ernor Hardin exclaimed toward the end of the day. "I saw it coming and got ready to protect things and people ought to he grateful it did so. "Now all we need is cessation of pessimism which marks good times. We all know now everybody was going cracy in the boom during the fall of 1910. "This situation is going to work out. There's no comparison between the condition a year ago and conditions to day. Take cotton with a low yield, and exports picking up Banks every where are fully justified now in car rying loans. "All we've got to do is to get out of every-lasting pessimism and quit saving everything is going to the odgs. Why, a man has to put up a good cheerful face if he wants credit. You can't talk to the banker like you do to the tax assesssor." Previously a sharp passage had tak en place in which Representative Funk republican, Illinois; Representative Mills, republican, New York, and later Governor Harding participated. HARDING DESCRIBES EBB AND FLOW OF MONEY Washington, Aug. 5. The ebb and flow of monetary credits through the Federal Reserve system was futher described today before a Congress ional committee by Governor Harding, of the reserve board. , "We have twelve reservoirs of mon ey, in the reserve banks,' he said, "and we can put a pipe-line from one to another of them, when needs becomr too great for local money supply, al ways remembering that the loans come in and are secured by local mem ber banks. "The Federal reserve board can out line a credit policy, but it is very diffi cult to enforce it because f this mem ber bank proposition. There are 30, 000 of them and take the responsibili ty in the first instance. "Some of them hold unused lending power, While others in credit stringen cy go into the Federal Reserve tank and get widely, even dangerously, ex tended.

GRANDSTAND AT BALL PARK IS BLOWN DOWN Shelby Section Damaged By Wind And Rains Court Session Adjourns Shelby Aug. 6.--Judge W. F. Hard ing, of Charlotte, who has been hold ing court in Shelby for 10 days, finish ed the court's calender and adjourned this afternoon after the transaction of more business than any court has done in several years. Fred Noblett got a $500 verdict against the Henrietta mills for the loss of a finger and five divorces were granted, four on the grounds of adultery and one on the new statute which makes five years' separation sufficient cause for divorce Most of the other-cases of the civil docket wPre the outcome of land trad es during the high prices. The wind and rainstorm which vis ited Shelby late Wednesday afternoon did considerable damage to crops, but relieved the long drought which has cu,t the farm production considerably in this county. For an hour the rain poured in torrents and the heavy wind blew the grandstand down at the base ball, park, where a game was in prog- J ress. A number of spectators were in jured, and all who failed to get away from the grandstand before the young cyclone came, were drenched with the rain. The cooling tower at the ice plant was blown down, the roof on the picker room at the Belmont cotton mill was lifted off, the smokestack at the laundry was destroyed many chimneys were blown down and trees were unrooted. The town was in dark ness Wednesday night. ROAD CHIEFS DISCUSS STATESVILLE HIGHWAY Charlotte, Aug. 5. The state high way commission probably will take over next week the six highways in Mecklenburg county that are "to bP constructed and maintained by the commission and the contract for build ing 22 miles of the State high way within the limits of Iredell coun ty will perhaps be let in 30 days. The failure of the people living along the present route of the Statesville road in Mecklenburg county to furnish a right-of-way to the hi ghway com mission may be one of the factors in a change of route for the state high way between Charlotte and Davidson. These and other facts in connection with the Statesville highway and ths state road building projects in this county were considered at a confer ence this morning between Frank A Page, chairman of the state highway commission; Charles Upham, state en gineer; W. C. Wilkinson, of Charlotte, sixth. district chairman; J. B. Pridgen, sixth district state engineer with hoadquarters here, and W. A. McGirt of Wilmington. The formal taking over of the roads by tl state highway commission means 'that anything done to the roads after that will come into the jurisdic tion of J. B. Pridgen, sixth district state engineer here. Mr. Pridgen said that there were no reasons why with in 30 days a contract should not be let for constructing 22 miles of the Statesville highway this side of Statesville, where there is no, contro versy, letting the contract for Meck lenburg end of it, either, except for the right-of-way matter.

Dr. Long says a diet of com bread, bacon and molasses has a tendency to develop the disease and he advises the eating of more vegetables and milk and abstention from the usual food which the health department says in creases pellagra. He says there is no cause for alarm over the exaggerated reports of pella gra conditions in North Carolina. While there are no official reports for 1921 on the pellagra conditions in the State the public health service estim ates based on reports received so far is that there will not be more than 500 deaths in the state or five deaths to each county. IMPERIAL WIZARD AND OTHERS DECLARE CRAVEN NOT AN OF FICIAL OF KLAN. Raleigh, Aug. 5. The Ku Kluz Klan in North Carolina is not disbanded and will not be disbanded without the authority of Imperial Wizard William J. Simmons, of Atlanta, according to a statement to the press issued today by King Kleafde Gerrard, one of the organizers . Major Bruce Craven's assault on the order, printed in the Greensboro morn ing paper brought forth the sharp condemnation he anticipated and an avalanche of denunciation. The Thinity man has been called every kind of liar in the profane tongue. Local Ku Klux KJansmen, as they are popularly known, after reading the statement of Major Craven, at first wished to dismiss the order to disband as "another wild fulmina tion to Craven,' ' but the editorial support accorded the repudiation of the order stumped the most of them and tonight there are many pre dictions that it will be' impossible to , save anything from the wreck. Local Klansmen, or citizens sup posed to be Klansmen, deny that Craven was the supreme head of the order in North Carolina. The king kleagle, W. V. Gerrard, de clares that Graven has never been confirmed as the grand dragon of North Carol ina( and that he, there fore, is without authority to issue such a sweeping order as that print ed this morning. Mr. Gerrard adds that Major Craven knew of impend ing rejection of his name as the grand dragon for North Carolina ami that this provoked the. attack on the order. Officialdom has long since bef penetrated by the order and there was an uncommon interest in the Craven broadside this morning. Po litically the major is read with va rying degrees of entertainment about the capitol but fraternally most ev eryone agree that "he spoke a mouthful that time." The king kleagle would not make an extended statement for publica tion. He called Major Craven a liar, stateoMhat he had grossly misstated facts and left the rest of the fight to Imperial Wizard Simmons in At lanta. It was understood here that statement would be issued in At lanta tonight. INDUSTRY IN STATE SHOWS IMPROVEMENT MORE WAITING AND MORE TALKING AND MORE SPECULA-TION. G. O. P. LEADERS MUCH WORRIED OVER PROGRAM Would Legalize Beer and Wine To Keep Taxation Pledges. By H .E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Ob server.) Washington, D, C, Aug. 6., Republican leaders are greatly wor ried over their legislative program, and see but little prospect to carry ing out their pledges on taxation and other subjects to the people. Secre tary Mellori's warning that taxes would have to be increased rather than reduced caused cold chills at the capi tol today. One proposition that brings a ray of hope is that to make it possible to and 2 3-4 per cent beer under a tax manufacture and sell non-intoxicat-of ten dollars per barrel. Threatened with a big deficit and pledged to reduce taxes to the peo ple, republican leaders are looking about for new and less burdensome sources of revenue. In surveying the field of possibilities they are actually considering a provision for the new tax measure that would bring inj more than a billion dollars from beer. A serious effort has been made to get prohibitionists to agree te a tax on "non-intoxicating sereal bev erages containing not more than 2 3-4 per cent of alcohol by weight." The suggested legislation would not violate the spirit of the eighteenth Amendment, but, in effect, amend the Volstead act by killing the pro vision prohibiting the manufacture of beer with an alcohol content in excess of one-half of one per cent. This proposition has been put up to Secretary Mellon and leaders -of Congress, and a bill or an amendment to that pffect will be introduced in the house to be considered when the regular revenue bill is taken up. Ad ministration republicans are alarmed over the demand for a reduction in taxes, and havP been told by Mr. Mel lon that there is not a chance for a reduction, and real danger of an in crease unless some way out of the tax tangle is found. A &nHnnrl tmmfir ( M C. famu. In Baltimore called attention to the fact that cantaloupes which netted the Scotland county grower only 77 cents per crate, less than 2 rents each, and cost the dealer, laid down in Baltimore1 three cents, were served in restaurants at the rate of 40 cents each. This isn't a new discovery of course. It runs that WAV ahnilf nil llivn.ttrh tn,. lino farm products fruit, cotton, tobacco, potatoes, cabbage, etc. But the thing that hurt both producer and consum er is that nothing is done about it. Each end seems to be helpless. Some where along the line the rake-off takes place. Statesville Landmark. Washington Aug. 4.

Textile mills in Virginia, the Car olinas and Georgia report 367 more persons employed on July 15 than on June 15. Specifically covering North Carolina the government report first gives a survey of general conditions and then of the situation in Charlotte, Gastonia, and Winston-Salem, the central repre sentative points. This survey follows: "General There is no serious unem ployment, though iron and steel work ers as a rule are idle. Eighty-three textile mills employing 26,095 on July 15 show a decrease of 182 less than the previous month; operators expect gradual improvement. Thirty-five saw mills and lumber companies, employ ing 2,241 on July 15, show a decrease of 16 as compared with the month of June; owners report outlook favorable. A few textile mills are still affected by labor controversies. "Charlotte Existing unemployment is found chiefly in textile mills, iron foundries, and stone and sand mines. There is still a shortage of properties for rent, with no likelihood of imme diate relief. "Gastonia Textile mills, the prin cipal industry, are operating on a nor mal basis. Operators say the outlook is not particularly bright, but alj hope to avoid curtailment of operating force. Building projects are expected to relieve the housing shortage. "Winston-Salem Textile and furni ture companies and a large tobacco concern has resumed operations, re lieving the general unemployment. Housing is easier. Manufacturers are optimistic as to fall prospects.'" CRAVEN DENOUNCES STATE KU KLUZ KLAN Raleigh, Aug. 5. "The new organi zation of the Ku Klux Klan as at pres ent conducted in North Carolina, is an organization engaged exclusively in collecting initiation fees under false pretenses, without any legal standing in the state, and is of my opinion a failure and a fraud." This is the" keynote of an interview given to the Daily News in Greensboro yesterday by Major Bruce Craven, lawyer, financier, and writer, of Trini ty, and until noon today the grand dragon of the realm supreme head of the klan in North Carolina. Major Craven's connection with the move ment has for some time been an open secret in this city, where the alleged secrecy has been a joke even to the ones inside. He was influential in the organization in Greensboro and in High Point, and a considerable number of good citizens went in on his promis or state organization. The pro- has done no good, a bill passed to fool the farmers, and had at once act ed upon a suitable revenue measure, submitted a tariff bill and then had ad journed Congress and gone home, the country would be in far better shape. That the Republicans have botched things up for the country and at the same time have gotten themselves into a mess with the country, is his view. THE TAX THAT COMES CLOSE. (Charlotte Observer.) A few days ago when Republican leaders in the Senate were talking of the proposed tax bill and the modifica tions in existing corporate and income schedules, they jauntily proclaimed, when asked as to where they would find the tax to make Up for the deficit thus established, there were "plenty of other sources." These "other sourc es" are now being divulged and to the consternation of the people. In the Open Forum one citizen, who does not hesitate to confess that he was one of the great number of Americans who voted the Republican ticket "iust for a change " is making vigorous protest against the proposition to tax bank checks, to put an extra $10 on every automobile in the country and to re quire the people to add one cent to every letter they write and one cent to every postal card they mail. It ap pears that it is the serious purpose of these Republicans to make good the dehcit in this manner. lhe Kepubncan Congress seems cramming its hand deeper into the pockets of "the common people" than any Congress has heretofore attempt ed. The man who is writing in today's paper is spokesman for thousands of other American people who are like minded. The putting through of this proposed tax measure would give us a Democratic Congress at the coming election and a Democratic President in 1924, sure pop. CONTRACT IS LET FOR BRIDGE OVER CATAWBA Mccklenburg-York Bridge Will Be 1, 375 Feet Long And Cost $96,644. Charlotte, August 5.

The bridge is to be compieted within 250 working days, the contract price $96,644. The bridge will bp 1,375 feet long, contain ten spans, the piers and abutments to be of concreate masonry, the floor three-inch creosote material with a two inch wearing sur face and a three inch oak floor.

The Cleveland county commissioners last week made a tax levy of 58 cents for county purposes, an increase of 15 cents over the 1920 rate. The increase was occasioned by the 15 per cent re duction in the valuation of real estate from values under the re-valuation act and by the increase in cost of schools. Thirty-five cents is raised for teachers' salaries and school ex penses, while three cents of the 38 cents for schools will be used for the repair and improvements of school buildings. There was a five-cent in crease in the rate over last year for county purposes. Total valuation of all real and personal nronertv in Cleveland is estimated at $34,000,000 as compared with $42,000,000 last year. Winston-Salem, Aug. 4.
