W. T. Rost in Greensboro News. Raleigh, May , 13. —Supreme Court opinions today give to Martin Host, old man of Cabarrus who admitted the kill ing of Jesse Vanderburg, September 15, 1924, a new trial for errors in the charge of Judge A. M. Stack. Eight cases were decided and errors were found in five of them. This is an uncommon percentage of hard hick for the trial justices. Two opinions which came down today affect the hoards of education in the counties in which they were tried, and the lower court’s judgment stood in only one. The Bost case had no great popular inteiest because the defendant happened to be no great somebody. He was ered tied with a poor reputation locally, but he stood well for telling the truth. His own testimony was virtually all that the state had on which to base a prose cution. Bost was not tried for murder in tiie tirst, but the second degree. That shifted the burden of proof to him to show that the killing was not done with malice. His (evidence indicated jthat there was considerable of the defense element in it, but the court erred there. Circumstances Rehearsed. Chief Justice Stacy, writing the opin ion, rehearses the circumstances detailed by Bost. There had been a wine party, but there was no evidence of women and song about it.’ A crowd of animals guzzled the stuff, looking on it when it was rend. Vanderburg seemed to have lost his powers of locomotion. The de fendant offered. him a bed which he re fused ,to take, then Vanderburg took it slept in it all night. Other evidence tended to show that Vanderburg hung about the Bost house all day and Bost says that without any cause Vanderburg began to threaten the prisoner. Finally manipulating Bost into close quarters Bost shot Vanderburg twice. The dy ing statement of Vanderburg was to the effect that he knew no reason for Bost’s shooting him. Bost’s first exception grew out of the fact that Juror ,T. W. Driskill had com mitted a homicide and that the preemp tory challenges having been exhausted the defense could not make use of that circumstance. No Merit in Court’s Exception. The juror admitted killing a man and being placed in jail for it, but he was never tried and the grand jury never found a bill. Judge Stack made a re mark that he did not wish to have any body on that jury who had ever killed anybody, and the defense excepted. Judge Stack stood Driskill, of the very sugges tive name, aside, but the remark had been made. The court alone finds no merit in this exception because the record docs not show that prisoner’s counsel undertook to challenge another juror af ter Driskill was stood aside. There is something in this, however: “Before lie can set up that plea," Judge Stack says, referring to the contention of self-defense, “he must satisfy you that he did not provoke the difficulty, becaus? when a man brings on a difficulty and is forced to kill, he cannot set up the plea of self-defense, because he provoked the trouble. Another principle is that if in this ease, the defendant entered into the difficulty at the beginning wil lingly, then he can’t set up' the plea of self-defense. This is plain error to the court. It might be made to fit a state of facts, but not those of the record. Judge Stacy thinks the lower court should have charg ed that even if the defendant provoked the difficulty and subsequently retired from the combat in good faith, the right of self-defense is restored. There is very little evidence at all on this sub ject. but such as exists seems to favor i the defendant. He left Vanderburg at 1 the house and then went to the barn I to feed the horses and cows . This i would have indicated a retirement from j the fight if there had been one. i, Thrilling Sensation in “Never Say Die.” >| “One thousand dollars if you get me to the steamer in twenty minutes 1” ) | No wonder he made it a whole thou • sand I His wife was on the boat wait | ing for him to go on his honeymoon i and there was also a hired gun-man in 1 full pursuit.

Jack Wilson in Jail Charged With At tack at Criminal Assault on a Little Girl. Charlotte Observer. Jack Wilson, 20-year-old Mecklenburg ( boy. was locked in jail at fl o'clock last night with no privilege of bond, charged ( with attempted criminal assault upon j, little Virginia Knox, eiglit-yoar-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Knox, who live I in the Seversville community. The felony is alleged to have taken 1 place in an outhouse on the farm of Frank Knox, at Caldwell, four miles ( north of Hundersville, late yesterday as- ( ternoon. Wilson was an inmate of Stonewall , Jackson Training School, near Concord, until January, when he was taken to ' Mr. Knox’s farm as a probationer. He J said his home is in Mecklenburg county and has many relatives here. Virginia and her six-year-old sister ' were visiting with their uncle. Their ' story, as told to their aunt, Miss Violet : Knox, and related by her to the of- 1 ficers, was that Wilson invited the little 1 girls to do with him to pick strawber ries, which they agreed to do. When 1 they reached the outhouse in which Wil- ' son had his bed, it was said, he took the children inside and then caused the younger to lenve the house. Virginia later came to the house crying, it was said, and aftpr long hesitation recounted events which dumbfounded Mrs. Knox and her sister-in-law. They managed to conceal their con sternation from Wilson, who is supposed to have been in ignorance that the story was nut. They telephoned Mr. Knox at Huntersville, who said that he was afraid to go home on account of his rage, feel ing that he would not be able to restrain his desire to do violence to Wilson. He called the rurnl police station and Chief Fesperman and Officer R. N. Go forth and Deputy Sheriff Henry Mosley responded. Chief Fesperman said that he found Wilson sitting alone at the supper table eating. After sharp questioning, he said, Wilson admitted the girl's accusa tion. A physician was called to administer treatment to the patient who was in bed and highly nervous. He reported that she was not seriously injured and that the assault did not pass beyond the stage of attempt. Chief Fesperman says the matter will be referred to Solicitor John G. Carpen ter this morning for his disposition. ijmn Killing Power of Sun Proved by Tests. Rays of sunlight have been imitated and tested for their effect on various germs by the bureau of standards. The beams, produced in small quantities and projected into colonies of microbes, killed of the germs in less than a second after the light struck them. The dif ferent wave lengths 'of the rays Were measured and the numbers of germs killed by them in a given time figured up for comparisons ill determining the most ef fective beams. The germ killing power of' sunlight, has been known for a lojig time and is often employed by house wives in “airing out” things on bright days. The invisible rays are believed to transmit the energies that destroy some types of germ life. Get your front teeth all tightened up for eorn-on-the-cob season. 1* Your Health Slowly Slipping Away?

A good serviceable tractor, which does the work of four mules, was built by a Georgia farmer from parte costing only about *250. Os his discarded Ford_ au tomobile —which was worth about *50 — he used the engine, front wheels and steering apparatus, and purchased a pair of regular tractor wheels for $165. A homemade frame was then made and the engine shaft cut off to fit. This rac tor can turn around in a seventeen-foot circle and is useful for all kinds of heavy hauling and farm work. By jacking it up and using a special flywheel, it can also be used for belt work. The ac companying photo shows the tractor as it is used to pull a mower.

Twenty-five years from now tubercu losis will lbe as uncommon in the British dominions as leprosy is today, accord ing to Dr. C. W. Saleeby, of the Lon don medical institute. He also predicts that infant mortality will be reduced to almost nothing and that sucesssful ways will be discovered to combat cancer. Largely through preventive methods, the death rate from tuberculosis has steadily decreased in the United States. In 1916, the fatalities from this affliction of the lungs were nearly 140 for each 100,OOQ population and in 1922, less than one hundred. “Mr. Mnmpus, I fear you are ignoring our efficiency sytem.” “Maybe so, Mr. Gump,” responded the clerk addressed, “but somebody has to get the work done.” One advantage the boss has is when he is too lazy to work he can think he is thinking.
