C., FRI Five Old Soldiers Present At Dinner Given By U. D. C. Only five of the many who composed the valiant army that marched out to fife and drum for battle in the defense of State's rights and the land they loved in 1861-65, met in the quiet and peace of the Parish house of Emmanuel church here on Wednesday for the annual dinner given by the Daughters of the Confederacy. They were welcomed by the Rev. Dr. J. T. Gibbs, their pulse quickened by martial music played by Mrs. Hannah B. Arrington and Miss Ida Allen, and their physical comforts well looked to by the members of the chapter who served an excellent dinner in the basement of the parish house. Then they commenced reminiscing. Veteran Mustian called the t roil of his company from memory, * and he was the only one to answer 2 present. He told, after the ladies 5 urgea mm to iurtner remarKS, 01 - a Yankee shell landing in the midst 01 a trench with the fuse burning. "A fellow hopped up, grabbed :t and threw it out." There was a pause of appreciation for the story, well told. Uncle Charlie Riggan of Vaughan, seated between two ladies, com3 mented aloud, "That was a brave trick." r Veteran John W. Williams in v answer to the request from the '' toastmistress, Mrs. Paul B. Bell, gave a story or two from the pages of the past. t "I was in a trench one day when one of these shells came over. It g was fired by the Yankees and came over in an arch?which he indicated with his hands and arms?and it had a tail of fire two feet long. . I knew it was going to hit me and g I couldn't move. It missed me by 1 about two feet, tore down the paray pet, covered me in dirt, and I fin. ally dug out. Here I stand today B as a moument to God's mercy." Veteran Joe Shearin of Sixpound e after repeated urging took the floor. Charlie Riggan wouldn't, i He told of .the Crate^ about ; Petersburg. The Yankees had fine - machinery and a branch to take ; away their dirt, he remarked. We ; had the top of the hill, giving us ; control, but we had to trundle our -1 dirt out with wheelbarrows. "We i, knew that they were mining and - they knew that we were," he said. I Their mine didn't go off as they had planned, but went off later '? while we were changing the men in ' the front trenches. It blew a hole in the ground 90 by 60 feet and 30 feet deep. "I was one who escaped," he commented," and while I didn't get buried in the dirt," he r commented to Brother Mustian, "I had 24,000 pounds of powder un. der me." s He won general applause. John s W. Allen, veteran of the calvary, _ commented that he had never failr ed to carry out an order while in s the army and told briefly of get?, ting water for the men during a hot engagement when the bullets were .1 breezing by like hornets. "I don't , know how they missed me," he re marked. "The water came from the bottom of a gulley where I e knew that hogs had been but it - was clear on top and all the boys 0 were glad when I got back with s their canteens." Pour of the six surviving veterans were present. Austen Allen and J. R. Falkener of Sandy Creek were not there. In welcoming the veterans, wives and widows, the Rev. Dr. Gibbs said that "character, intelligence t and valor tell in war as in peace j and our peace loving boys have alt ( Continued On Page 12 ) 1 Boy, 6, Kills Baby J Brother When He 0 Picks Up Shotgun r. il Picking up a shot gun which his 1 father had left for a few minutes _ leaning against a well, Arthur B.

MACON TO DIE IN CHAIR ON NOV. 1 Judge Small Pronounces Sentence Of Death On The Slayer Of Sam Pinnell DELIVERED IN RALEIGH Death is the penalty that the State of North Carolina is to exact from John Macon, slayer of Sam Pinnell, and unless there is a stay of execution, the switch is to be thrown on All Saints Day, Friday, November 1. The jury returned a verdict of first degree last Satur day just before 1 ociock alter an hour and a half deliberation. Judge Small passed sentence when court reconvened at 2 o'clock, and the negro was given into the custody of the sherifi with instructions to deliver him to the warden of the State Penitentiary. A few minutes later, the papers all complete, Macon moved from the court room with Deputies Thomas Ellington and R. O. Snipes. They were joined by Faulk Alston and the trio moved away for a rapid and uneventful trip to Raleigh. "It is hard for the court to pass sentence upon you and it was hard for the jury to place this penalty upon you," Judge Small said, "but the evidence has been heard and you are found guilty." In closing the commitment of John Macon to the warden of the State Penitentiary, the Judge said, "May God give you just deliverance." The crowd, sua tense, reiaxea when the prisoner left the court room. Solicitor Parker arose to pay his respects to Coroner E. Hunter Pinnell, brother of the slain man, and Walter Mustian, both of whom were present at the fatal shooting and who captured the negro. The fine restraint and respect for law shown on this occasion was commended by both the solicitor and Judge. Joseph Pippen, attorney with Gilmer Overby, appointed by the court, had previously commended the fairness of the trial and the general demeanor of the principals and the people of the county. "Without respect for the law and officers we can have no government," the Judge said. "I want to commend the officers of the court and the citizens for their attitude cf restraint toward the defendant." He also thanked Macon's attorneys for the manner in which they had looked to his interests. Macon, a negro of about 38, was arrested in Warren county on the mcrning of May 3rd after he had fatally wounded Sam Pinnell and shot Robert Pinnell, a brother. Officers had gone to the home of Baldy Mitchell near Afton-Elberon to make the arrest. Macon was wanted in Franklin county for killing a citizen there about 17 years ago. When they arrived Sam Pinnell and Robert Pinnell went to the back of the Mitchell house. Hunter Pinnell and Walter Mustian to the front. Bessie Mitchell denied that the negro was there, but in a few minutes he ran from the home, shooting Sam Pinnell through the stomach and dropping Robert Pinnell with another shot. Hunter Pinnell ran around the house at the sound of the gun and shot Macon as he turned upon him. He and Walter Mustian then handcuffed him and rushed with Sam Pinnell and Robert Pinnell to Henderson where Sam died that night. Macon was carried there too for treatment. The last murder case from the county was the one against W. L. Ross several years ago. Macon, if the appeal is not perfected, will be the first person to be executed from this county in 18 or 19 years. Ross after second trial was said to be insane.

BOY ROBBERS IN VANCE JAIL Davis Garvins And Robert Marchbanks Confess To Several Robberies UNABLE TO RAISE BOND HENDERSON, Sept. 26.?Davis Garvins, 19, who said his home was near Fayetteville, and Robert Marchbanks, 18, who gave Texas as his home, both white men. were in the Vance County jail today in default of $2,000 bond each to await trial at Vance Superior court next week on charges of store-breaking. They confessed robberies here, and at Franklinton, Norlina, Rich Square, Ahoskie and at Jackson, having been captured in the act at the last-named town, and Marchbanks slightly injured when he was shot by the chief of police as he was kt^ping watch while his pal did the plundering inside. They pleaded guilty to the charges in recorder's court here yesterday. The robbery here occurred last Sunday night, as did also those at Franklinton and Norlina, while tne others are understood to have been done since that time. The boys were riding in an automobile they j admitted they stole in Darlington, S. C. They had robbed two stores at Norlina and at Jackson, and already were under $500 bond each at Jackson before being brought here for trial. Practically all of the goods stolen by them at all of these places was recovered, according to Deputy Sheriff J. L. Cash, who with S. B. Rogers went to Jackson and brought them back to Henderson. The store robbed here is owned by Mr. Rogers, who is chairman of the Vance Board of County Commissioners. Both men talked freely of their exploits, Deputy Cash said. They denied, however, that they were the pair who bought gasoline at the American Tourist Camp, two miles south of the city on Route 50, Sunday night, and paid for it, then bought two quarts of oil and sped away without paying for it. They explained that they always paid for their gas and oil so as to keep down suspicion. Garvins is said to have related that he picked up Marchbanks on the highway and persuaded the latter to accompany him in his robberies. SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY POSTPONED TWO WEEKS The Rev. B.
