K's Warners Classics of the Screen—America’s Finest Photoplays SHATTERING THE DEFENSE. lickory Rccoril. It is a breech of good judgement, in we see it, on the part, of some body iresumably the defense lawyers, in lUowing so much shaky publicity to jet out regarding the trial of W. B. j Jole which w : ll soon be heard in ik'hmond county. One could hardly | ■redit the ridiculous statement email- ! iting from Secretary of State Everet 1 o the effect that Cole should be given i vote of thanks for not Killing Or nund sooner to the attorneys on the iefense, but certainly it was their >oor judgement that allowed the dory of the bidden pistol to leak out: hey sponsored the proposed possibi ity of pleading emotional insanity (the nerve suggestion of which wenk ■ens the case from the public view- Riint); and it was they who permit led the statement ro go out today from James A. I.ockhart. We do not be teve that it is the Imposition of the North Carolina trees to try cases of such seriousness prior to the taking of evidence in apeu court, hpt when a defense bass n1 on t ijcyrics and suppositions isl given to public under such a nloml of ojytllowness one cannot re sist the impulse to attempt a wreck age. We do not sec how Cole and his daughter's reputation can both be saved, The sacrifice of one. as we have digested the evidence, will mean the salvation of the other. But if ('ole is the sort of man we believe he is, he will be concerned so deep ly over the good name of his daugh ter that nothing (and the life of a Eli compared with the honor of a man is no balance at all) will e-track his efforts and the effort of his attorneys to protect her icpu tation. And after ail, that seems to be the current flowing beneath the whole affair. That is the current, and the at torneys for defense give added evi dence of it when they talk of secret ed pistols, of emotional insanity, of self-defense, and the like. It is rumor ed now, as coming from -the detense lawyers, that a boy friend of Ormond slipped a pinto’ out of his ear immedi iately after the tragedy and gave '« a girl to keep. Picture this scene: A man shot on the main thorough fare of a city, a Saturday afternoon crowd: police and n-iintic spectators; doctors and ambulances and wild ex citement; and a young man breaks his way trough the mob to the car in which the man was killed; he finds a pistol there and slips it away with out being seen. That is a picture for your imagination. Not ono man out of a hundred would think of the im portance. at. such a time, a pistol would play if found in his murdered friend's car. Not one out of twice that number would attempt to buck the frenzied crowd in order to slip it away. And what would be bis motive in stealing the only evidence of self defense his friend might have?

The weather is daily topic of in terest now and discussions and pro gnostications as to be the probable end of the present drought are in teresting. One man's guess is as good ns another's. A Chester man. J. Mar tin Grant, who is credited with being a right smart weather prophet, is quoted as saying that the best chanc es for relief from the drought will be from the 7th to the 12th of Sept ember, central about the Btu, !)th and 10th, followed by cooler weather on the 10th, 11th, and 12th. Prophet Grant looks for very warm days, with local thunder showers preceed ing this period. This is the best chance, he thinks, for any rain dur ing the first half of September. Mr. Grant does not look for much rain during September, but after October 10th there will be plenty of ' ! rain. There have been many discussions by scientists relative to the causes of tujs intense and destrutive drought, but. Prophet Grant, who has given the subject much study r.nd thought still contends, as he has done all along for many months, that the mo-1 jor disturbances of the planet Jupi ter causes weatehr conditions that | will be commented on by impartial | records the world over. Jupiter's ma jor disturboinees was ceil trp 1 on April 2, lust, to which he attributes I the present destrutive drought. It J was notably bad this year since it came during the summer, when crops had to be made. Twelve years ago, he remarked, during Jupiter's major disturbance—tho disturbances com ing every 12 years—ther were heavy floods. “No Matter What You’ve Been Doing, Quit It.” St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "What have you been doing? No matter what it was—quit it!” The common citizen is so menaced and ter rified by the innumerable laws and rules that he no longer has the cour age to call his soul his own. If an officer of the law grabbed him and said: “You are to be hung in an hour for wearing gold-rimmed spectacles when the rules call for bone-rimmed,” he would go along to the scaffold with out a protest and apologive to the of ficer and the hangman for making them so much trouble. Alaska now has a club of business and professional women.

Charlotte Observer We had been reading so much about the drought in the mountains |of burned crops and parched lawns, | that we had concluded all had been • pretty much abandoned to the deso jlution of the season. But it appears j that there is at lea-t one spot where | Nature smiles in beauty and spread.; her fragrance around. It is at Blow ing Bock and the particular spot is the flower -garden of Mrs. H. C. Mar tin. a woman famed in good season for the attractiveness of her sur roundings ami who has proved that even in a year of famine in the plant world she can keep the brigntess and freshness in evidence. There comes to The Observer it great mass of tailor and fragrance in the shape of dahlias, tulips, marigolds, poppies, asters and other flowers of the scar son, which would seem to contradict reports of dry weather around the Bock. Tlte dahlias are of mammoth size and in brilliant colorings sug gesting surroundings of rain and shade, dew* ami ti'(-ndly We can well imagine that in the gorgeous ness of the flower gardens around the Martin cottage, one might forget that the world is hot and dry.
