i Lexington Dispatch. <
\ That Charlie Gilliam, ‘aigh deputy
sheriff (a little over six feet) of Dav
i idson county, has a persuasive way
I about him has long ago been learned
I by those who have been around the
; courts of this county and seen the re
i suits of his work. It is related that
j he has been known to make arrests
i upon invitation. Thursday night he j
| went to arrest a man erarged with I
j stealing chickens and actually found |
jthe accused practically in the fact of'
; paying back the money he received!
j from the man he is alleged to have j
! sold the chickens to, while the owner j
stood by to receive his property back!
from the purchaser, an innocent party !
in the whole business. Luck was just
naturally breaking with the county’s
higeat deputy. But that's nothing.
Listen to this:
On his way back along the road
about six miles south of Thomasville.
Deputy Gillnm. who was accompanied j
by Deputy John .Moore, drove by a!
man lugging a towsack across his I
shoulder.
“How far are you going?" cordially
inquired the deputy.
“Oh, just a litttle ways yp the
road," replied the sack carrier,
j “Well, come and get in and I'll
| take yon as far as you're going," in-
I sisted Air. Gillam.
j “Oh, I'm just going a litttle piece
and I’d just as soon walk,” came the
reply.
The deputy opened the door of hie:
car and repeated his hospitable offer
and the wayworn traveler dumped his
burden down near the officer’s feet.
t.;t There was a rather strong perfume
(j coming away from that sack. Xow.
ill '' had been even ttie slightest odor
j.] it would perhaps have been all the
H same, for when Charlie Gillam gets
il) 011 he windward side of liquor he is
M getting ready to make a prisoner. ,
I After riding along for a short while
the .farmer, as he appeared to be,
declared he was ready to get out. Air.
Gilliam redoubled his courtesy, opened
the door and dismounted and offered
to assist the passenger in getting his .
burden out. "What have you got in
that sack?" inquired Air. Gilliam.
“That’s just a little stuff I saw a '
fellow hide awhile ago. so I picked
it up."
Asked to repeat his story, the man ■
said that he saw a woman hide the j
sack.
“Well, brother, you surely did get •
it in the wrong man's car," said the i
deputy. , I
“Who'in the thunder are you?” in- i
quired the now alarmed burden bear- I
er, and when he got the information £
sought it is related he was speechless |
for a space of time. (j
“Why not tell the truth about (
where you got this stuff?" demanded ,
Mr. Gillam. fe
"The truth even wouldn't do me. f
any good now,” was the dejected re- I
sponse. I
Examination disclosed seven pints
of corn whiskey in the sack, and the |
next morning the deputy secured an
other pint in the vicinity that he be
!' lieves was a mate to the seven.
The. guest who became the prisoner
i" of Mr. Gillam was Tom Emmons, of
r Conrad Hill township, aged about 45
|. years. The ride was concluded at
|" the Davidson county jail. A hearing
jl! will be given Thursday.
;■ Folks who go about the country in
[ automobile have gotton to be a little
jji careful about who they pick up on
Is the roads, at nights especially. And
| now some folks may become even
|ii more careful about being picked up.

|i GREENSBORO VOTES TO
SUPPORT JAMES B. DUKE
'ft ” I
- Resolutions Adopted By Chamber of■
Commerce and Ordered Forwarded
to Philanthropist
l Greensboro, Sept. 12.—The, local
] chamber of commerce directors in a
meeting last night, declared support
for James B. Duke in cases he wants
£* to extend the Piedmont and North
ern electric line from Charlotte here.
This plane was not approasned like
l Lerington, Thomasville and Wineton
, Salem were, but the lorul business
men would like very much to see Mr.
Duke run the line by 'here. They say
. they would be glad to give a con- i
i siderable part of their traffic to the
electric line and thus •■get competitive
railroad service here.
A formal resolution was passed
asking that the line be extended
through here and forwarded to Mr.
Duke.
The directors also passed a reso
lution thanking B. N. Duke for his "
recent gift of SIO,OOO to Greensboro |
college and his gift of-$50,000 to 1
Guilford college.

The Tramp Printer.
Monroe Enquirer.
A fellow blew into The Enquirer £
office one day last week. He need d
not have told me that he was a print- £
er, for I knew it by the time he had -
gotten over the doorsill. He borrowed ‘
a dollar of me and it is to be pre
sumed he also borrowed a dollar of
- Beasley over at The Journal |
office.
I always did have a kindly feeling d
toward tramp printers. They are |
such cheerful liars. I never loaned |
one a dollar in my life but that it ’
would be returned. They are great £
; promisers—but not so greatly differ- !|
, ent from other folks—they’re almost
human. '
I sometimes wonder if a tramp
printer ever had on a clean shirt and £
collar in his life. Once I became "
sorry for a knight of the road and d
gave him a clean shirt because the £
one he bad on was so dirty. The ■
feHow took off his coat and put it *
on over the one he was.wearing.
“Sorely,” I protested, “you will not d
put that one on over your soiled 1
shirt?” |
“Why not?” said he. “This makes tj
only the sixth shirt I am wearing.”
Farmer’s advertisement:
“Anybody wanting to buy a big fat a
hog, come out and see me.”
Catherine: “Isn’t this a horrible . |
photo of me?” 3
.Clara: “Yes, but a very good like- -
ness.”
