' an account oi tne misnap uy in son, John Clark. A scalp wound missed the chief justices . brain by scarcely a hair's breath, and physicians making 'an examination at Rex hospital consid- ered that its penetration far a frac tion of an inch deeper would have caused instant death.

According to the account given by friends of John Clark, the steering wheel locked, swerving the wheels and throwing the car down an em bankment . Justice Clark was thrown from the rear seat through the windshield. He sustained a number of slight bruises and cuts about the head in addition to the deeper wound. Mrs. John Clark sustained a deep cut in the tongue, making it neces cary for her to take nourishment this morning through a tube, other wise she was not seriously hurt. Her husband's injuries consisted of bruises and cuts. y Judge Clark's advanced age made his escape from more seroius insury in yesterday's accident all the more remarkable, in the opinion of friends.

"Where? inquired Bob unbeliev ingly, "you don't see a snake." But just then the snake turned an in quiring face in his direction ,and Bob lost no time in moving, for the long black runner was coiled up on the under-pinnings of the car, and was showing a peevish disposition about .having his nap disturbed. He was carefully dislodged from his comfort able resting place, however, and all his, troubles came r promptly to - an end, after which J. S. Harrell, man ager of the garage, hunted up Mr. Sturdivant and asked him what the law was in regard to mail carriers having passengers on their routes. Mr Sturdivant claims exemption from all blame as he has no idea when the snake came aboard, nor how long he had been stealing rides. , RASHES ON CHILDREN ;:- , Repeated instances when rashes on children were considered to be trivial affairs instead of scarlet fever are coming to the attention of the State' Board of Health.

Press Last Weeks at Cleveland Spring Hotel, Shelby As Host Shelby Dispensed Real Southern Hospital ity Few Editors Who could Look Back Over Fifty Year Period Pro gram. ' About once a year an editor goes away for a few days and associates with fellow editors" in 'Convention. This year the North Carolina Press Association meeting was held at Cleveland Springs Hotel as sembly room at Shelby. It was the Golden Jubilee" . Convention, and the program looked back over the past fifty years in Tarhelia. The convention was very largely attends ed, both the Shelby hotels being crowded and the overflow was taken care of by Shelby homes . The Golden Jubilee' was a big suc cess and editors from the high peaks to the rolling waves were present in large numbers, many with their fam ilies or a portion of the household, and they returned home singing the praises of Shelby's hospitality; The The extra program put on by the association itself was Out of the or dinary and very enjoyable, but the hospitality of the Shelby people was an outstanding feature of the editors meeting, and for the next 50 years a pleasant memory in the minds of Tar Heel editors will be the "Golden Jubi lee" convention at Shelby and the real Southern hospitality shown by the Shelby people. At the opening session at Cleve land Springs Hotel, the address of welcome was delivered by Clyde R. Hoey, former member of Congress. Mr. Hoey paid tribute to the editors and the newspapers, told with evi dent pleasure that some twenty years ago he had been an editor, and partrayfld swiftly the great progress made by the newspapers of North Carolina in the past twenty years, saying, too, that never the clink of the money in the till of the business fffineoIumnsI"iRe" totd, tool "hfSe big things that had happened in .Cleveland county and Shelby since the beginning of this century, that in them was a counterpart of the forg ing ahead of the state itself. Shelby gave a royal welcome through its representative, and its pitizenry made good, for the town was wide open in its hopitality. Sanford Martin, editor of the Wihston-Salem Journal, one time j Secretary to Governor Bickett and an ex-president of the press association made the response. Mr. Martin, in the course of his remarks speaking of the choice things Mr. Hoey had said of the editors, that it is always bet ter "to have taffy than epitaphy," a sentiment in which there was agree ment all round, the applause proving it. Both Mr. Hoey and Editor Martin "did themselves proud" by their clev er remarks. Business was completed by the con vention Thursday night but enter tainment by Shelby continued thru Friday when 100 automobiles were placed at the service of the Conven tibn by Shelby Citizens through Edi tor Weathers of the Star for a trip to Chimney Rock, where a sumptuous dinner was given by Shelby Kiwan is' Club. The feast of a dinner had been prepared in the dining, pavillion located high up near the chimney shaped rock. Dr. Morse turned the place over to the party. Speech mak ing occupied the dinner hour, Col T. L. Kirkpatriek of Charlotte, Dr. W. A. Smith of Hendersonville, E. E. Britton of Washington, and others being among the speakers. On the trip the writer had the very good fortune of falling into the hands of Mr. George Blanton of Shelby and traveled with him on the mountain trip and we observed that he is no stranger to that section; he knows the people, the points of interest and the highways. Great improvements continue in Cleveland and Ruther ford counties. The City of Shelby is engaged 1ri making six miles of per manent streets, building new homes and industrial plants. Rutherford ton also is growing; the Chimney Rock section is developing into a great play ground, cottages and ho tels ,and tents are becoming more numerous each year. The highway to Chimney Rock is still partly in the hands of the state road forces; it is being straightened, new concrete bridges put in and the road resur faced with soil. Un the way to Uiimney Kock, a distance of some 50 miles from were given a cordial welcome by the citizens of the : Ruthen'ord county capital.
