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?

Says Drought WUI End Soon.
Gastonia Gazette.
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.

Higher Yam Prices.
Gastonia (Jazetbe.
According to* the textile analysis
of the Textile World, higher yarn
price- are in order and the reasons
therefor are found in the following
summary:
1. Tendency of raw cotton i« to
stabilize at a somewhat lower level.
2. Price spreads are becoming more
favorable to the manufacturer.
3. Mill consumption of raw cot
ton is increasing, and will probably
continue to show greater than sea
sonal gain for several months.
4. The decline in spindle actively
has spent itself, and should turn up
within a month, if it has not already
done so.
5. Hgher yarn and gray goods prices
are delayed by declining raw quota
tions. but the trend is toward high
er levels.
The immediate tendency will prob
ably be toward increased stability at
somewhat lower levels. No long range
forecast is possible however, until
■several months ginning figures are
available.
During July the Textile World
price index of raw cotton increased
more than did either the price of
yarn or cloth. This condition of
proved to be less favorable to the
manufacturer, but was offset by tho
August reaction in raw cotton and
the increase in yarn and cloth prices.
.conclusions to be drawn Irom
the analysis are that the recent set
back in mill consumption of raw cot
ton was merely temi>orary and was
probably a minor downward reaction
in a major upward movement. *i)he
outlodk isfor greater than seasonal
increases in mill consumption.
The P-V continues up, and haA
reached a higher level than at any
time during the last two years. Al
though this barometer predicts the
turns and shows the future trend It
must be remembered that it is an
average, ami does not show the exact
levy} to which a particular item such
as cottou spindles will move. How
ever, the outlook for the rest of the
year has become still brighter than it
was a month ago.
If raw cotton remains fairly
stable, higher yarn prices are in
order. This conclusion is strengthen
ed by the decline in spindle hours.
Newspaper Falls for Trick Story.
Smyrna is having a newspaper row'.
Suspecting that a rival was steal
ing its news, one of the leading news
papers published a fake story that
Hindenburg had been assassinated.
The rival, it is said, immediately
fell for the bait; and. not wishing to
be outdone by its competitor, imme
diately published a “follow” svory giv-1
ing the names of the Englishmen who
had planned and carried out the as
sassination.

We had been reading so much

j that there is at lea-t one spot where

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

We can well imagine that in the

around the Martin cottage, one might
forget that the world is hot and
