FAMILY 'FOUND GUILTY Charged with At tacking Man With Shovel A dispatch from Newton, N. C., says: Tom Spencer and his wife, Myr tle, and their two chi’dren, Dallas and Lola, were gound guilty of man slaughter by a Catawba county jury here last week. They were convicted cf killing Hay Hedrick on the morn ing «f June 7. The case went to the jury at 11:30 o’clock in the morning and the ver dict was returned an hour later. The killing, which has attracted considerable interest in this section, occurred at the home of the Spen cers, in what is known as the Catfish settlement, Catawba county. Evi dence introduced during the trial was to the effect that Hedrick went to the home of the Spencers with a club and was r.-et by the entire family, who vc;j J with fire shovels and sticks. Dr. J. H. Shuford, of Hick ory, who treated Jledrick testified that the murdered man received three blows on his head, eother of which might have caused death. The principal witness for the State, Roy Minges, who was alleged to have gone with Hedrick to the Spencer home, was unable to testify which member of the family struck the fatal Mow. He did testify, however, that Hedrick was hit after he had been l”- '•"d to the floor. Defense witnesses testified that insure! PROTECT YOURSELF AND PROPERTY, INSURE YOUR CROP AGAINST LOSS BY HAIL.

No Witness: Hedrick was not hit while on the floor, hut they testified, almost to a witness, that he, Hedrick, knocked Tom Spencer to the floor and was ready to pound him again when Lola, daughter of Spencer, struck the fatal blow on the side of Hedrick's head. The case is considered unique, in asmuch ns an entire family was tried :i d convicted. The Spencers con tended that Hedrick was killed in self defense. It was also brought out dur ing the trial that bad feeling had ex isted between Hedrick and the Spen cers for some time.

THE ZEBULON RECORD, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1925 GOVERNMENT TO TAKE HAND IF ANTHRACITE STRIKE MATERIALIZES Word comes from Swampscott, Mass., that while hoping that a str'ke n the anthra cite fields will be avert-1 od, Preadent Coolidge and Secretary Davis determined today upon a pro gram to be pursued in case of an emergency. Secretary Davis called at White Court to confer with the executive on pending development of labor prob lems prior to a visit to Europe, and the conversation centered on the an thracite coal field wage argument now in progress. Mr. Davis declared that lw< repre sentatives of the department of labor i were taking part in negotiations and if a strike developed, the government was ready to take a hand. What part the government w6uld play in the pos ! sible strike was not disclosed. The secretary made it known, how ever. that he would retifrn to this country on August 25, six days before the present wage agreement between the anthracite coal operators and the miners expired. The attitude of President Coolidge, who is following developments in the wage negotiations as well as in other business situations was not disclosed. A MOTHER’S EMERGENCY KIT As a mother of an energetic family of boys and girls, I have found it nec essary to keep some sort of emergency kit. A first aid supply need not be elaborate. If one has no medicine cabinet, a box or basket in a place of easy access will serve the purpose. A few’ necessary articles kept together will be found better than a great vari- | ety where one must search for each \ needed item. The following will be found most useful: Absorbent cotton. Torn and rolled bandages. A clean old sheet serves nicely. Adhesive tape to hold dressings in place. lodine, a strong disinfectant for cuie and scratches. Keep an air tight jar of pellets ready for applying the iodine. These are made by wrapping tightly one end of a tooth-pick with absorbent cotton. A mixture of equal parts of sweet oil and lime water is a soothing oint ment for burns. It may be applied with a pellet. Or a paste of baking soda and water is cooling to a burn. A solution of one teaspoonful of bo ric acid powder and a pint of boiled water is an excellent antiseptic as a mouth wash and eye wash. An old-fashioned but excellent rem edy for clearing the eye of a foreign object is to drop tw r o or three flax seeds into the eye. They come out readily and cause no discomfort. For the swelled bumps and bruises whicti little ones acquire, apply butter. A bottle of camphorated oil to rub on the chest in case of colds. In this connection I would suggest using an egg rather than water for mixing a mustard plaster, as it will not burn the skin. If you are using a hot foot bath for a cold, add a tablespoonful of mustard to the water. In the matter of carthartics, a mild mineral oil may be used for ordinary cases. But for illness, castor oil or an enema may be used before the doc tor arrives. Hydrogen peroxide diluted, makes a good throat gargle. Plain salt wa ter, hot, is also very efficacious. If the above articles are kept in readiness, and others as they are found useful, no mother need fear the minor accidents and emergencies as she meets them in the rearing of her children.—N. R. M. WHAT WOMEN LACK IN BUSINESS WORLD Waco, Tex., July 7.—T00 much rouge, lack of confidence in other wo men and lack of seriousness were among the nine reasons why women fail in business, listed today by Miss Florence Sands, of Dallas, national vice-president of the Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs at the annual State convention here. Other qualities which women lack, as claimed by Miss Sands include: Vision, initiative, outside interests, tolerance or co-operation and self control. She said they should pay more attention to their personal ap pearance and health. FREE—BUT NOT FREE Alcohol free was the truth, but there was a trick in it after all. A ruling has just been made by Comp troller General McCarl that prohibi tion agents may use alcohol at gov ernment expense when clearly con sumed in connection with official du ties. But the trick in it is found later on the announcement of the ruling, for it states that the alcohol to be had free is that used in automobiles of the dry sleths when the weather gets so cold as to demand alcohol for the autos.
