Experts in the work of checking up » on “gold brick" salesmen estimate that during the present year more than a billion dollars will be taken ’n by these men on fake stocks and “get ricb-quiek” schemes. It is said that more than a billion and a half dollars were spent on such things last year. Almost every State in the Union has adopted laws designed to check the work of the fake salesman, but just the same the people continue to bit. Til the last Analysis the people are to blame for they should not lis ten to the smooth-tongue artist. They „ certainly should not buy his stuff without an investigation. The man who fights shy of new bus - ■ incss enterprises in his home town N will often invest his money ill some stock or project sponsored by a stranger. If all of the money that :S .went from Cabarrus County into the is Fisheries Product Co. had been spent U on some local enterprise the entire community would have benefitted. As Eli- ft was. only the promoters of the com bs- pany got any benefit from the money. The News and Observer rightly eon tends that “if all the money that has :S been invested in gold bricks by North ’.fX Carolinians in ten years had been in- Sjz olina factories would be able to fur . vested in home industries, North Car ® nisb a much larger part of what its l>eople need. And incidentally the investors would be getting dividends lE' instead of lamenting that ’the fool and bis money soon part’." It 11 is always possible to learn g something about local industries bc fbre making an investment and if the S§> company is a new one the inventor m can at least learn something of the 'P.I men behind the project. The man i*J r with the out-of-State stock lias noth ing but a glib tongue and a suave , H manner. He offers big dividends but i he has nothing to back them with. WOULD ELIMINATE INHERIT ANCE TAX. ■jp? It would not be surprising if Con- Bb-j entirely eliminated the Federal RS 'inheritance tax when it takes up the | Fi mutter of tax reductions at its next. sess’on. This tax ever has been un pj popular. but during recent mouths at- X- ttifks from many quarters have been Bf, tfrtitered on it with the result that P many persous think Secretary Mellon I will suggest its elimination when he j||: J#epare* his new' tax program for ■b|.

Eq ; .This suggestion lias been indorsed fe' tty President Cootidge who declares EpfiKt it amounts to confiscation, and 6 is a druin on the public purse not jus trtied fojgqmj kg' tiU4(j?pcr ceiit.

OUR INCOME TAX. I Twenty-one States in the Union paid into the Federal Treasury more in ineome taxes during the year end j ing Juue, 1925, than did North Caro lina. The total paid by this State j was $22,426,721. | The Federal government received i from all of the States during the same period $1,761,681,641. This was a decrease of $80,075,675 as compared with the fiscal year ending June, 1924. The-' States paid amounts ranging from $4!K>.000.000 to $452,000. New York paid the largest, and Nevada | the smallest amount. The three : States, New’ York. Pennsylvania and Illinois, paid about 47.9 per cent, of the total income tax paid by all the States. North Carolina ranked at the top among the Southern States; a posi tion held by the State for several years. SOLICITOR PHILLIPS WILL FIGHT COLE ALONE Rockingham Prosecutor Not Seeking Aid in Big Murder Trial. R. E. Powell in Charlotte Observer. Raleigh. Aug. 20.—Solicitor F. Don Phillips, upon whom will fall the burden of the prosecution of his millionaire townsman for the killing of young Bill Ormond, does not ex pect to ask cither the dead man's family or the American Legion for legal assistance in the trial. He may accept help and says frankly that he would 'not object to having an older lawyer to counsel with him but he plans now to bear the brunt of a fight on the opposing side of which has been marshalled the best array of legal talent in North Carolina. Three men of as good character as can bo found in North Carolina will testify to the actual shooting as it lias been reported in the papers, Solicitor Phillips said here in the course of an interview with news papermen. That is the burden of the State’s case against Cole. It expects, of course, to anticipate the reported "aggravating” circumstances in con nection with the killing but the pros eutor can not sec that these alleged circumstances, said to be evident in the exchange of letters.:mitigates the crime. The State will ask for a verdict of first degree murder which carries with it, when the defendant is con victed by a jury, the death penalty. What the defense will offer to a Rockingham jury as justification for the shooting is still a matter of wild conjecture. So far. there has not been a rumor alloat which helps the defense in law. There have been sev eral going the rounds which might influence a jury but there have been none wbicli would reduce the crime below that of second degree murder, punishment for which is largely in the discretion of the trial judge. MORRISON STATEMENT ON DEFICIT IS DELAYED Mecklenburg Sheriff Gets Rich Haul cf Rare Liquor in Midnight Raid. Charlotte. Aug. 27.—Forty-three quarts of rare bottled-in-bond liquor and a practically new Ford roadster were seized in the wee ema' hours last night by Sheriff W. O. Cochran and his son, Simrel. on the dark side of Caldwell street. The discovery of the liquor was an accident, according to the officers, who were looking for another car and ' stumbled on the contraband in the | roadster by a freak fortune. The ow ner of the car was not ap prehended. Former Governor Cameron Morri son's statement regarding the deficit in the state’s finances, promised upon the return to the state of Governor McLean, will not be ready for release for several days, it was announced to day at Mr. Morrison’s office. Mr. Morrison arrived here last night from Blowing Rock. He declined to dis cuss the issue upon his arrival. The former governor left during the morning for Winston-Salem for a con ference with a committee of business men of that city on the proposal to extend the Piedmont and Northern railroad lines to that city. There was no suggestion today that Mr. Morrison has abandoned his plan to issue a statement, on the other hand the impression being gives that he will go ahead with his plans for the statement predicted several days ago. Textile School at North Carolina State College. A successful summer school lias re cently been conducted at the North Carolina State College. The establishment of a summer session in which different subjects in Textiles are tahght enables this Textile School to be open for in struction practically the whole year which gives to mill men and others interested in the Textile industry an opportunity to pursue special short courses in any Textile subject, j During the past stimther, courses were given in Yarn Manufacturing. Weaving, Textile Designing and ■Fabric Analysis. 1 A class was also conducted for teachers in graded and high schools. This course was dfsigned to give teachers in cotton manufacturing communities a fundamental know ledge of the textile industry so that | they are able to understand more fully the problems of those who are w’orking in the mills. A special course was also given to uren who were taking the Cotton Grading which embraced a study of .nwjbiqes i.imed/uki tbe,«-’ a .umntw ,'fjttdure < tybrfts'tyiouijflfeSlx .V-fMftg* placed' iifijon the sttifty -.of ‘in . the various grades of ' cotton. ■’Mho the effect of foreign matter in the i cotton.

Statesville Daily. 1 1 The fact that so many newspaper* . are editorially intimating, or saying I in plain words, that justice will be under so great a handicap in the con test with the wealthy and influential Rockingham killer that there is little ground for hope that it can prevail, would be startling evidence of the prevalent opinion that equality be , | fore the law is a theory and not a ■ fact if that dpinion was not of such I common acceptance that there is noth ing starling in its expression. They , are simply saying out Joud what the average man who observes these mat j ters knows to be true, or believes to be true. The Rockingham case may turn oat differently, but justice is so often defeated in such unequal con tests that the natural expectation is to see the same thing happen again. The general expression of such an opinion is a fearful indictment of our administration of the law, but un fortunately there is so much evidence to support the indictment* that it can not be successfully resisted. In all fairness, however, it must be said that some of the criticisms are a little extreme. For instance, it is complained that Cole, who had come upon his victim, Ormond, apparently without the latter's knowledge, the first evidence of his presence being the discharge of his revolver, was per mitted. after he had shot the unarmed man to death, to return to his office and then go to his home, not being taken into custody for a half hour afterward. That was apparent favor itism or inexcusable diffdence on the part of tiie officers. But it is hard ly to be expected that in a small town like Rockingham there is a po liceman on every block. An officer may not have reached the scene until Cole had left for his home: the ter rible. startling, unexpectedness of the tragedy might have temporarily thrown officers off their base, as it did others. Or lack of haste in plac ing tile slayer under arrest may have been due to the reasonable assurance that he would make no attempt to escape. While there may be some ground for criticism it is not of suffi cient importance to count. Cole was put in jail and is a prisoner. Another complaint is that Cole fur nished his cell with a bed, that lie would install a telephone and pre sumably other comforts and conven iences. This tins since been denied and sudi plans may have been dis carded through fear of the adverse effect Prudent lawyers are very careful not to allow a client in Cole’s situation to do anything that affects public sentiment adversely. It was published abroad, and is no doubt correct, that when Cole was taken in custody his friends tried to prevail on the deputy sheriff in charge in the absence of the sheriff, to accept bond in any amount. That was a foolish procedure, no doubt due to the ex citement. The officer had no au thority whatever to accept bond, which ho found to be a fact on communi cating with a judge. But Cole's friends, in trying to prevent his being loeked up, have ground for the very criticism hereinbefore mfnttioned. They proceeded on the idea that jails were not made for men of Mole's standing. Failing in that they were going to try out a writ of habeas corpus right away, in the effort to take Cole out of jail. But fortu nately for Cole, lawyers of judgment got on the ground and stojqied that. They knew it would prejudice the cause of their client. All that helped to provoke the allegations of favor itism. Cole, the critics—editorials in leading newspapers of the state —say should nor have comforts and con veniences in jail; should be com pelled to put up with the accommoda tions furnished other prisoners. In all fairness has it ever been the cus tom to deny a prisoner any reason able comforts lie could provide at his own expense? We think not We are unable at this moment to see why a prisoner should not be allowed, while under detention awaiting trial, to furnish his own bed, his own food, even have a telephone unless there is good reason to believe that he would make improper use of it, so long as the prisoner or his friends foot the bill. One held in jail awaiting trial is presumed to be innocent until lie is legally pronounced guilty. He is held for safety, or because the law re quires it, nor as punishment. While there may be just ground of complaint about some of the matters mentioned, they are of no consequence compared with the real danger, which is outside. A prominent and influ ential citizen cf great wealth, going on trial in his home community, is Usually to well fortified that his influ ence is overwhelming: and when his reserve powers are exerted to the limit in a life and death struggle, the force is almost irresistible. Whether the case will be tried in Richmond county is a matter for the court, if the prosecution asks for a removal. The power of wealth and influence would be felt anywhere in sue’r a con test. but under ordinary circum stances it is of far greater importance to the cause of justice whether the Cole ease is to be tried in the home county of the defendant, or far great er concern whether a jury may not at least be summoned from another county, as nearly as possible outside the zone of influence and feeling, than I whether the prisoner is allowed to | make himself comfortable in jail. He | may sleep on the floor, eat jail fare and in all respects fare as tV hum- 1 blest prisoner, but if his money and I influence work for him on the outside | as only such i>ouerful factors eau j work, and the state in handicapped j in the contest as it may be handi capped under the circumstances Cole will have cause to take comfort for his safety, even though his jail life be as hard as the hardest.

When he ’ insists there, is something in his past life about vohich he should tell her, \ Caroline declares she is nutßilling to hear any confession. Suddenly the . tvoo are startled by the blast of an automobile horn, blovon evidently as an edarm signal. CHAPTER Vll—Continued Caroline, in terror, shrank into the arms of Bob, who said excitedly: “That’s the police patrol from town or I miss my guess! You know, they’re transferring prisoners at the rate of a single carload a day from the old state jail to the new penitentiary up the line. There’s been a prison coach attached to the westbound Limited each night for several nights past. One was laid up in the Yards this morning. I wonder—•” They exchanged significant looks, while the siren continued to draw closer and despoil the quiet moun tain glen with its raucous warning. Caroline clung even closer to Bob. an unaware claim for a mate’s pro tection; and Bob, thrilling to the warm contact of her young body, which quivered against him as a captive bird might in a man's clenched fist, felt a vast possessive ness—felt that he could successfully fight off a whole carload of escaped desperadoes, if necessary, to save her. He shot an arm around her shoulder and stood alertly with his other fist doubled and ready when there came a crashing in the bushes nearby, and loud voices. Three ur.i “Hide ma, Wilson—or I’ll tall de Udy friend about d&t poster —” formed policemen, with sawed off shotguns, broke through and con* fronted them breathlessly. “Seen anyone—a man in convict stripes?” “No!” said Bob calmly. “Why what’s the matter?” “Matter enough if you stumbled into him!” said one cop in tones that denoted respect for the reputa tion of his quarry. “The most dan gerous and vicious criminal who's ever been in the State bullpen es caped from the transfer car. We've traced him to this vicinity. I'd ad vise you. my friend, first of all to clear out of this neighborhood, and secondly to hold your peace if von should bump into him. He’s bad medicine at any time—but by now he’s hungry, desperate—and a damn sight more dangerous than a dozen catamounts 1” The police officers scoured on., Caroline, upset and with nerves overwrought from the incessant shrieking of the siren, insisted on starting down from the hill at onefc; the picnic mood was gone from her for the time being. Bob, though assuring her that it was silly to be alarmed, humored her. They had gone but a short dis tance down the shrub-massed cliff path, though the siren and the shouting of the skirmishing police men were already fainter as they searched out a new section on the , wooded summit above, when like a | weird and menacing jack-in-the-box a striped and shackled figure ap rose from a bush and stood leering j in their path. j “Bob Wilson, take me oath if it , ain’t— an’ quite respectable looking!” j Bob could not restrain a horrified recoil from the shock of recognition. “Spike!” “Ain't you clever to guess it!” Caroline, meanwhile, a stifled! j .li- I LAURA JEAN LIBBEY CUTS I HUSBAND' OFF WITH KM) NgUtesJate Os *QL. . ;Vi.

Bob, looking at her in that tense, soul-stripping moment, read the concrete suspicions and distrust dawning in her eyes, and felt a rush of stubbornness at the injustice of Fate that was robbing him of the carefully hoarded strength of his ex ile. First Jane —now Spike. Spike, who had read—that poster! Bob stared at Spike again, dully curious. "I want yuh to help me, see!” growled Spike. “Hide me till thuh lousey bulls git outen here— ’’ The sounds of the pursuing party seem ed to be growing nearer again. This fact, coupled with Bob’s hesitation, inflamed Spike, who shook his steel claw threateningly under Bob’s white face. “Hide me, Wilson—or I’ll tell de lady friend about dat poster—/’ Further hesitation on Bob’s part; then, wetting his lips, he said even ly: “Tell and be damned to you!” The beast in Spike raged at this defiance. He leaped close to Caro line before Bob, taken off his guard, could interfere—tore her dress from her shoulder with his human hand and set the rapier point of his steel hand against her white breast. “Promise you’ll help me, or I’ll rip her open 1” he shrieked red-eyed, at Bob. Caroline was frozen with terror in her tracks—mouth open and eyes starting as she looked at and shrank from the prick of the deadly claw Bob, paralyzed, looked on in terror not less than her own. But his return to fulj possession! of his facilities, under the lash ol tragic necessity, was lightning fast He leaped forward and struck oul simultaneously. His left fist reached its mark on Spike's jaw at almost the precise instant that his righi hand, with athletic continuity ol motion, pushed Caroline backward) out of harmful contact with the fail ing desperado's spike. Spike was not knocked out. H* had barely touched the ground be fore with a tigerish squirm he flung his muscular leg around in suet | away that it snipped Bob's leg! from under him, crumpling him tc the ground beside Spike, who cami to instant grips with him. Bob knew Spike’s method of old He remembered the horror that he had been filled with upon the oc casion of his first meeting will Spike, when he had reflected upoj the possibilities of that steel clau as a weapon. Now, therefore, he in stinctively grabbed for the spike And not a moment too soon, for it came within a hair of slithering his throat. The fight became a thrashing me lee. Spike fought with the insane courage and cruelty of a maddened dog; Bob remained chiefly on the defensive, guarding his eyes, his throat, his heart from frantic jab bings of the steel hand. Now and again, Bob was able to get in a tell ing smash against Spike’s face. But Spike met Bob on terms of equal strength, and had the advantages of his frightful claw and of experience in the dirtier points of rough and tumbling fighting, gained in many a low barroom and rough trackside camp. Bob soon realized that he was face to face with a fight for his life. Caroline, with a suddenly discover ed courage standing her in good stead as she witnessed the fight of her man for his very life, moved back and forth with the thrashing bodies as they rolled and tumbled around, gouging up the rocky turf. At every chance she seized Spike, disregarding the back lashes of his flailing steel hand, and tried to pull him away from Bob—giving Bob every aid and advantage possible to enable him to get in a vital blow. She was so engaged when several members of (he police posse rushed into the scene and made short work of jerking Spike to his feet, hand cuffing him, and punching him into subjection under the threat of their murderously shortened shotguns. Bob got to his feet unsteadily. - “You win, bo—but it’s my turn next timef’ snarled Spike over his shoulder.
