that time, but the governor will name
. M» emergency Judge to take his place
there.
The Wilkesboro jurist, who has
been on the bench since 1918, pre
sided at the trial of Dr. J. W. Pea
cock,-in Davidson county, in the
spring of 1921. when the jury
brought iti n verdict, of not guilty on
grounds of insanity. Judge Finley
sentenced the physician, who had
shot down the Thoroasville chief of
police in cold biood, to life in the
msune ward of the state prison a
place from which I’eacock escaped
two yenrx later.
The Cole trial promisee to be one
of the greatest murder trials in the
history of the state, and much in
terest has centered on the choice of
jthe governor for presiding judge.

He was fond of philosophizing. One
day at tile eint>. it was about the
beauties of natuVe. “Seems to me that
,o'.d Mother Nature has provided for ■
every contingency," he said. “What

those who hhd the misfortune to be
near him. “Why,” answered Mug

our ears. Yet a million years ago she
.didn t know that we were going to
hook spectacles iofrters them.”

.Gastonia Gazette.
The bootlegger brings his family,
wife and children, of all ages, rang
ing from the oldest down to the babe
in arms into the courtroom when he
is arraigned for trial.
Os course, all this is a grandstand
play and is designed solely and wholly
to create sympathy for the defendant
in the eye? thfe game tfnd is gen
erally worked for all it is worth.
Suppose the prosecution could ar
ray all the wrecked home the blasted
lives, the worthless careers, the mur
ders. the widows and orphans, the
hungry homes and deserted firesides
that whiskey causes. Such au array
of desolation death and tragedy might
counterbalance the bootlegger’s fam
ily.
Suppose the bleeding, lacerated
gnashed body of one of the recent
* virtifiH of Bootleg whiskey in Gtstcn
county, with its 500 stitches, the vic
tim’s face slashed from ear to throat,
his cheek and chin laid open to the
gum, his body gashed aud slashed, and
■the Heart exposed, the-flesh and car
tiluge cut from the ribs, a lung punc
tured, the leader muscles im his ankle
severed —suppose the victim in his
hospital habiliments could be brought
into the court room as an exhibit to
offset the exhibition of the prisoner’s
family, where would the sympathy
go?
Mills Running at Night.
Monroe Enquirer.
It's difficult for a layman to under
stand how' cotton mill men w'ill con
tend that they are losing money or
only breaking about even when their
mills are running night and day. or
day and night as the case may be.
On a recent night trip through
Mecklenburg, Gaston, and Rutherford
: counties I could scarcely get out of
sight of mills brilliantly lighted and
that were running full tilt. A day
and night khift made 24-liour continu-
ous performance.
Now, I would ask, if these mills
' are not making money for their own
ers, why do they wear out the ma
chinery for no"purpose?
No one knows who discovered thnt
the world is round, but it was after
the time of Thales and before the

as a means of utilizing the paper col
lected nightly after tearing down
