FIFTEEN CENT SHAVE
HAS A SUDDEN DEMISE
Claiming They Were Unable In Make
a Profit. Local Barber Go Bark
to 20-Cent Price.
Unable to make expenses at the
reduced prices that recently went
Into effect, it is claimed, most of the
Monroe barber on Wednesday went
hack to the 20 cent shave. Fifteen
cents, the old pre-war price, was the
charge at all of tr.o shops before
Wednesday. "Too much competi
tion," is assigned by one barber as
i he reason for the short lire ot the
fifteen cent shave. 'To make any
money at this price ,"' he added, "the
chairs must be full. With four shops
this is manifestly impossible."
Mr. E. G. Faut. Monroe's oldest
barber, was plainly chagrined at the
recent reduction he felt forced to
make under the circumstances, and
he was ready to uo buck to the old
price after a trial convinced him that
here was no profit in fifteen cent
shaves. Asked when he was going
back to the lfl-cenl shave, he re
marked. In his characteristic manner,
m follows: "When eggs sell three
dozen for a quarter, thickens at to
cents each, fat-back at foiir and a
half rents a pound, and rent Is reduc
ed to $10 a month."
PRESIDENT WILL WALK
HONOR UNKNOWN DEAD
Plans for the solemn ceremonies of
Armistice Day, when the nation will
pav the highest honors to its un
known dead of the World War, were
practically completed when President
Harding and his Cabinet decided to
walk up Pennsylvania Avenue in the
funeral cortege. By Presidential
nroelamation the business and plens
ure of the nation will be suspended
for two minutes on that day in trib
ute to the dead as the body from a
nameless grave in some great strug
gle is carreid to its last rest in the
peaceful Virginia hills that look down
acres tr.e Potomac on the nations
capitul. ,
Not since president Wilson led a
preparedness inarch up the great av
enue in 1916" has the Chief Executive
appeared on foot in any parade in the
' capital, and never previously has any
President set for himself so long a
trip of the kind as President Hard
ing will undertake.
' The War Department has announc
ed the make-up of the military escort
which will precede the gun carriage
on which the coffin is carried. In ad
dition to the regulars, sailors and rna
rin.s, a provisional battalion of New
S'nrk and Pennsylvania Natonal
Guardsmen will share in the honors
to their dead comrade. Under army
regulations the escort will be that
provided for the highest military of
ficer of the service, a General.
War and Navy Department officials
said that the body of the unknown
soldier would be brought directly to
Washington on Admiral Dewey's old
flagship the Olympia, instead of be
ing landed at New York, as announc
ed in Paris. The Olympia, according
to the plans formulated, will enter
Hampton Roads and proceed up the
Potomac, arriving at Washington
about Nov. J.
INCURABLE OPTIMIST
(From the Legion Weekly.)
While the rest of the passengers In
the day coach smoking car were
knocking the road, the service, and
everything, one man remained cheer
ful. Everything, he declared, might
be worse. As he was completing his
defense of the flack and Ruin Rail
road Company, there came, a mighty
cranh and all were thrown bodily
from their seats. As they crawled to
their feet and raw behind them the
wreck of another train which had
collided with their rear car. a self
satisfied voire was heard to say:
"Weil, they couldnt get by us anyway."
THE HORSE IS SLOWLY
COMING BACK LN USE
(F rom the Charlotte Observer.)
Well, well! The way they read the
paper is a wonder. Under date of
September 1", The Observer printed
a story by F. W. Fenn, secretary of
the Natinoul Motor Truck Commit
tee, giving figures upon which he
based contention that the horse "must
soon leave the stage." Yesterday the
clipped article came back to use' in a
letter from Wayne Dinsmor. secre
tary of the National Horse Associa
tion, at t hicago, m which he made
claim that "the proiriin.'iue of the
article is contra-wise in the facts."
He therefore wrote a st:iry for the
Observer in which he plays up the
situation from the standpoint of the
horse. Mr. Dinsmor says the facts
do not square with the predictions of
the prophets that "the horse is doom
ed to total extinction." He points
ti the census reports of last Janu
ary to prove that the horse and
muL'.s are not decreasing in numbers,
that on the contrary, and in spite
of the fact that more than a million
and a half were exported during the
war, they scored an increase in the
last decade, ihis increase, he claims,
is due to a gain in the country, for
there was a decrease in cities from
3..;i.-),!00 to 2,0S.'1,SG1 or .'111 per cent;
but the trend is now in trie other
direction, owing to the fact that men
have discovered, by costly experience,
that horses furnish more economical
service on hauls within thoir work
ing radius, than any substitutes. 1 he
committee on local deliveries for the
American meat packers inst.t'iU'.Mif
ter a year's work on th problem,
reported as follows: "Thy horse has
he.-n and will continue t- be, our
most faithf'tl and economic servant.
Under twenty miles per tliy, ihj
h.)'se is mo.t economical."
I!ec;:use of this fact, now becom
ing generally known, horses are in
eieasng in our c'ties. On January
I, U' , Chicago had a total of 30,388
ho:se. and mules; by June 1, l'.t-l,
t!.!s lv.mbe" had increased to 33,'IO
head a gu'.n of more than ten per
cent i:i 18 month ?. Philadelphia, n
January 1, 19:20, had a total of 11,4"2
h , se.J and mules: by August, W21,
til's l umber had increased to 24,538
head, a gain of more than twenty
live per cent in the last twenty
months. New York City, on Janu
ary 1, 1020. had a total of 50,539
horses and mules, and while more
recent figures are not available, Fiss,
Doerr. Carroll Company report they
sold 14,2;S!l horses in New York City
during the first five months of 11)21,
ns compared with 1 1 .60.1 during the
corresponding period in 1H20, or a
train of twenty-two per cent. fcucn
a gain in the number of horses sold
during the period when sales in vir
tually all other lines 01 business wire
trreatly depressed, is significant evi
dence that horses are still far from
curiosities even in the city of New
York.

Attorneys for the defendant said
he had moved to Florida in order to
get away from bad associates and
had come back voluntarily to stand

The report of the secretary and

that the association is doinu a very

further staled, "the amount of busi

KILLED HIMSELF AFTER
SHOOTING THREE OTHERS
Sheriff Charles Culpepper, of
Tombs county, Ga., Frank George and
Edward Driggers, farmers, were shot
and seriously wounded by Adams
I triggers, brother of Ldward. who
then shot and kiilled himself when
an effort was made to place him
under arrest at the request of his
family.
Sheriff Culnenner was struck with
a load of buckshot as he advanced
on Driggers home accompanied by
George and Edward Driggers. The
officer was hit in the right leg and
riirht shoulder. Adams Driggers
then reloaded his gun with birdshot
and shot down George and his
brother.
Adams Driggers did the shooting
from a front window of his home.
After scattering the arresting party,
ashot was neara in.iiue me nouse
Members of the family entering the
room found Driggers dead. He had,
it is said, blown the top ot his head
off with his shotgun.
. Temporary insanity is gifen as the
cause of the shooting. Driggers, who
is said to be member of one of
the most prominent families in south
Georgia, had been acting strangely
during the morning, and due to the
injuries to his father, confined in the
same house, Sheriff Culpepper was
r?quested to take, Driggers into cus
tody, i
fended the accused and District At
torney Frank A. Linney prosecuted
the case against him. The jury re
tired at 12..'I0 o clock to deliberate,
after Judge Webb had charged that
body as to its duty in the case.
The evidence in the case was very
similar to evidence presented yes
terday in the rase of another Union
county farmer, Joit: W. Brigman,
who was fined fw ; hi .irred dollar:
for having liquor in his possession.
Simpson, according to the testimony,
manitained a still ner his hog-pen,
where eleven barrels were fofad, to
gether with a quantity of liquor bu
ried underground nearby. Several
new-made paths led from the house
to the hog-pen and down to t' e still,
according to Sheriff Fowler, r f Union
county, and other witnesses for the
government. When. the officers raid
ed the place, they found ma.-h and
a considerable quantity of materials
used in making liquor. The defend
ant had gone to Marshville, at the
hour of the raid, to get barrel of
flour and sixteen fruit jars, it was
testified. The government claims the
jars were to be used to contain the
IiqOor. Simpson said the barrels were
vessels he had borrowed from his
neighbors to scald hogs in and that
he knew nothing of the presence of
the still, which had embers of fire un
der it when the officer arrived.
Sam Laney, a farmer neighbor ef (
cape. It is scheduled to convene De
cember I).
The primary reason for the special
session is the necessity for arrang
ing to care for the $700.00(1 deficit for
last year in the school fund, though
the cities of the state are also de
manding correction of the municipal
finance act to enable them to obtain
more revenue for the operation of
city governments, and this must be
corrected.
There are four vacancies in the
general assembly as the result of res
ignations, but it is not known what
the governor will do nbout calling
special elections to fill these vacan
cies. Senator M. W. Nash, of Uam
let, resigned following his appoint
ment by the governor as solicitor.
Representative George Mumford, of
Wake, democrat, Senator J. E. Kan
ipe, of Marion, republican, and Dr.
C. A. Bryant, of Yadkin, republican,
also have resigned.
The necessity for legislation to
cart for the $700,000 deficit in last
year's school fund is the result of the
failure of the 13 cents tax on the
$100 property valuation to raise
enough money to pay the state part
of the six months' school term, The
law contains no provision under
which money can be borrowed, and
it is absolutely necessary to meet this
deficit.
There is no trouble with the finnn-

In Federal court Tuesday, Judge
Yates Webb faced the dilemma either
of thwarting his sense of duty toward
his own distinguished office or pun
ishing a young fellow in whom he had
a deep personal interest and he vig
orously seized the latter horn of the
equation and sent Sidney Lee, a form
er postmaster at Boiling Springs in
Cleveland county, to the Atlanta pris
on for two years, says the Charlotte
News.
Judge Webb not only was personal
ly interested in the defendant, whom
he has known for years as a good cit
en prior to an irregularity in con
nection with the Boiling Springs of
fice, but the defendant's foster-father,
the late Squire loveless, of
Cleveland, was one of the jurist's
most powerful and intimate friends.
The mother of Sidney Lee died
when he was two weeks old and his
father died when he was ihree weeks
old, both passing away within a week
of each other. And the late Squire
Loveless adopted little Sidney Lee
and raised him until he came to man
hood. After that, the late Cleveland
county citizen, one of the most emi
!Kit in that entire section, maintain
ed personal oversight of the young
man, directing ami guiding him and
looking out for his business ventures.
Squire Loveless tlied some months
ago and immediately, according to the
evidence, Sidney Lee began to drink
heavily. Shortly thereafter govern
ment authorities discovered a short
age in the accounts at the Boiling
Springs office and, checking up the
books, found that Lee, the postmas
ter, was short to the extent of ijtf.iUH).
It was aiso ineveitlence, presented
by Sheriff Logan of Cleveland and
other prominent citizens of that coun
ty, that the defendant had only an
undeveloped sense of the value of
money and no concepitoii of business
principles, that he ran a little service
station ut Boiling Springs and that
he gave gasoline away, let the school
boys there have as much as they want
ed", never collecting for it, sold auto
mobile tires promiscuously for much
less than he paid for them and other
wise conducted his business in a way
that indicated an abnormality as to
business acumen.
Clyde Hoey, attorney for the form
er tMwtmaster, made un eloquent plea
to the court to show as great con
sideration as possible. Only evidence
hud been offered for the defendant to
show his abnormal business capacity
and the attorney declared to the court
that the man had ,in Cleveland coun
ty, a wife ami six children absolutely
w'thout funds for their future sup
port, that the late Squire Loveless
had left Lee several jriecea of prop
erty at Boiling Springs which he had
mortgaged for $2,00 und spent every
cent of the money and that this prop
erty would now not more than sat
isfy the mortgage debt.
Judge Webb wns patently puzzled
as to what to do with the defendant
whom he knew and the foster son of
one of the most intimate friends in
the county in which he was raised.
"He was a trusted officer of the gov
ernment," said Judge Webb to Mr.
lloev. "and he violated his trust. As
. ... I...,-.. minwn
tmicll as ll pains me hi ini.i- .
him, I shall be forced to sentence him
to two years in the Atlanta penitent-
''".futlge Webb expressed the hope
that Lee would nuiKe sucn u .'
prisoner that he would be paroled
peetlily ami returned to his wife and
'i small children now at the home of
lrs. Loveless in Cleveland county.
"Dr. mnvbe," the judge said, "the
merit of that great and good man and
friend of mine. Squire Loveless, will
ri;ie hack and possess him again and
direct him in after yeais into better
ways of living."

flourishing a pistol at the fair

appeal to (ej erior court, and his bond
was fixed at $150. Later he return

The officers making the arrest tes
tified that they found a pint bottle

state of affairs is created when the

to the case of Deputy Sheriff Wat
son Joyce of Stokes, who was con

porting whiskey to Winston-Salem.
He also called attention to Judge
Long's action in the superior court
requiring Joyce to surrender his
badge.
In reply to an appeal from Sheriff
Shelton 's lawyer not to impose a fine.
Judge Hartman replied that he had
no idea of imposing sentences on
poor unfortunates as long as he sat
on the bench, and then permit an
important officer to go unpunished.
IK' folt like the offense justified a road
sentence, he said, but he was willing
to give any man a chance.
