BI'SINESS AND INDUSTRIAL
CONDITIONS PICKING UP
With the Breaking of the Drought
Things WM Improve Rapidly, Says
Mr. Grist.
Raleigh, N. 0., Sept. 18. —CP)—
With the breaking of the long-cOntin
ued drought throughout this state,
business and industrial conditions will
improve rapidly. Frank D. Grist, com
missioner of labor tpnd printing, de
clared today.
Conditions in North Carolina are
already improving, in fact, Mr. Grist
stated. Cotton mills, in numbers/of!
cases, for example, he pointed out,
that were closed a month ugo, are now
running full time. He mentioned
those in Rockingham county, as an
illustration. ‘’Those mills were either
closed or running part time a short
time ago," said Mr. Gristfi "but
when I sent over there a few days ago
to get some cotton pickers, from among
the mill workers. I found every mill
but one running full blast.”
Mills that have been closed in
other parts of the state are now re
opening and running, many of them,
full time, Mr. Grist said.
The marketing of the cotton and
tobacco crops, too, will materially in
crease’ prosperity throughout the
State, Mr. Grist believes-. While the
price of tobacco is low, he said, the
quantity of the crop is going to turn
loose lots of money,
And the cotton crop, it appears,
he said, is going to bring a good price.
So far, too, the farmers are getting it
picked at-a rea-ouable price, the com
missioner stated.
Business and industrial conditions
all over the fitate are “picking up,”
said Mr. Grist, and nil indications
point to increased activity in indus
trial and business enterprises through
out the state for the fall and winter.
4. B. SOI-OMON FOUND
TO HAVE BEEN POISONED
Warrant. Issued for 4. A. Holmes and
Wife. Who W’as Solomon’s Widow.
Rockingha 111. Sept. 17. — Coroner A.
M. Smith today filed with the clerk
of court the report of his jury in the
J. B. Solomon cane. This report
says that "Solomon came to hk) death
by poison administered by party or
parties unknown? to us, according tu
itkasMU/wt. oLOko-Mtate chemist;’’
Immediately upon this report, Sher
iff Baldwin swore out a Warrant for
the arrest of John Archie Holmes and
wife, who was the widow of the dead
man. , The last heard from, the pair
were near Darlington, S. C., and es- *
forts are now being made to appre
hend them and bring them here for
trial.
J. B. Solomon, aged 50, died in Pee
Dee Mill village on June 23rd un
der t-nusual circumstances. It was
claimed that lie ate fish on a Satur
day night, followed by milk and cu
cumbers the next morning. Death
resulted two days latter. Some of
the children and relatives of Solomon
were not satisfied with the manner
of his death, anjl finally George Solo
mon, a brother, filed an’affidavit yvith
Solicitor Phillips stating hie belief
that hie brother had been poisoned,
and asking an investigation.
Solicitor Phillips issued the proper
papers, and on August 20th Coroner
Smith had the body exhumed. Coun
ty Health Officer A. B. McCreary re
moved the stomach, duodenum and
some other parts, and prepared them
for shipment'. But then canie the 1
rab. The State chemist wired that
there were no funds or authority for
such examination. The package re
mained in the expres office here
nearly a week until the solicitor could
get permission from the governor for
the State chemist to handle the jnnt
ter, and on August 25th the parts
were shipped to him at Raleigh.
"he examination or analysis re
quired nearly three weeks, but on
September 14th, State Chemist IV. Mr-
Alien wrote Solicitor Phillips a re
port of his findings, which in effect
was that in his opinion enough ar
senic and copper compound were ,
found in the stomach to have caused
death. Acting upon this report to
day. the coroner empanelled a jury
which returned a verdict that Solo
mon came to his death by poison ad
ministered by parties unknown.
From general hearsays, it is under
stood that the Solomon family have
lctteis that passed between Holmes
and Mrs. Solomon before her hus
band’* death, and one letter in which
a reference xvas made to “supper ana
I try it again.”
| Somb time in July a woman in this
seel icn swore out a warrant for J
jA. Holmes, charging him with iin-
I moral relations. The local officers
! heard that Mrs. Solution had collect
ed several hundred dollars insurance
money, and was going to Charlotte
'to meet Holmes to marry him, and
so the Charlotte officers were phoned
to meet the train and arreat what
ever man met Mrs. Solomon. Sure
enough, it was Holmes who met her,
and he was arrested and brought to
Rockingham. „ The eqae against him
was squelched upon his paying the
other woman $l5O, of which Mrs.
Solomon is said to have donated SIOO.
A few weeks later Mrs. Solomon apd
Tolnies journeyed to Bennettsvftle
and were married.

American Red Cross Launches
Campaign For 30,000 Sweaters
For Ex-Service Men in Hospitals
The American ' Red Cross has
launched a campaign for 30,000 sweat
ers for ex-service men who ore nqv
in government hospitals or soou will
ce. In making this appeal, Mr. J.
Arthur Jeffers, Asistant to the Vico
Chairman, snvs that ‘"The men nrrih
I Sir for hospHalizaeion apply for
fhission witli only 'the few clother that
they are wearing. With the first
pinch of cold wentl'gr, they will suf
fer unless adequately dad. It is
’l*esc sick men. many of whom wear
‘the decorations of (ur own and for
eign governments for distinguished
conduct, who will rt reive and appre
ciate this help."
The Calie-rn? County Chapter of
the American Red Cross is asked to
furnish four sweaters with sleeve*,
and two sleeveuess sweaters—six
sweaters in all. This quota is, of
course, tentative. We may furnish
more if we like, and I mn sure' we
shall be glad to do more.
This call is made at tiiis time on ac
count of the fact tha t tde supply of
sweaters left over from the war pe
ried is almost completely exhausted,
the (led Cross authorities state.
This call to service is in many re
spects like one of the oid war time
requests. It should bring into action
the old war time workers, and we be
lieve that they will respond in the
same spirit.

Lee Memorial School of Journalism
Lexington. Va., Sept. 18. — (A 1 ) ,
What is said to have been the first
school of journalism in the country (
will begin to function again today,
when the Lee , Memorial School of
Journalism opens classes in its new
plant and surroundings.
Founded here at Washington and '
Lee University under the direction of 1
General Robert E. Lee in 1889, the
school has been reorganized and pro
vided with the equipment necessary
for the practical as well as the ideal
istic instruction of aspiring young
journalists. ,
The re-establishment of the school
has been made (possible largely
through the efforts of President Henry
Louis Smith, the Southern Newspaper
, Publishers" Association, and Mrs. L.
Richardson, of Greensboro. N. C.
The publishers have pledged $20,000
to the development of the school and
Mts. Richardson, the widow of a
prominent North Carolina manufac
turer, contributed SIO,OOO toward the
immediate-, expenses for instruction.
She recently added $1,500 to her
original/ gift in order that necessary
equipment, might be provided for the
laboratories.
Professor Roscoe B. Ellard will be
in charge of the school He has been
brought to Washington nnd Lee
from Beloit College, where be was*

“For the convenience of those who
cannot secure wool locally at a fair
price. National Headquarter? has ar
ranged for the purchase of wool in
bulk. Chapters may secure this wool
at SL4S per pound postpaid,’ says Mr.
J[*ffers. Please communicate with the
Fhairman of yew chapter, Rev. W. A-
Jenkins, phone 53, and state the num
ber of sweaters you wRI volunteer to
make, and after a few days the order
for wool will be sent in. It requires
approximately one pound of medium
weight, 4-ply yarn to make a sleeve
less sweater, and approximately one
and three-quarter pounds to make a
sweater with sleeves.
It may be that there are those in
the city who would like to give the
price of a sweater and let some other
person make the sweater. That will
be very acceptable. I am sure. In
that case $1.45 will buy the wool for
the sleeveless sweater, and $2.55 will
buy enough for the sweater with
sleeves.
Please call The Tribune Office and
state the number of sweaters you will
make, or the number you will pay for
and let some other do the making.
The Tribune will state from time to
time the progress of the campaign
both locally and otherwise, and will
publish the names of local subscrib

Sanity Question Which:
Has Been Raised by the j
Counsel for the Slayer, i
NOEL SHOWS NO
CONCERN NOW
His Lawyer Argues That
Technically His Client Is!
Still In Custody of Asyl
um Where He Escaped.
Newark. N. J., Sept. 18.—(A I)—Ar
gument of counsel of Harrison Noel
that the youthful slayer and kidnap-I
per was not sane and legally could 1
not plead cither guilty or not guilty ;
today resulted in Judge Caffrey's re
serving decision on this question until
Monday.
Handcuffed to two other murder
suspects, Noel was taken to court to
plead to indictments charging him
with the murder of Raymond Pierce,
a negro chauffeur, and the klduapping 1
of 0 year old Mary Daly.
Noel showed no interest in the pro
ceedings. His upper lip twitched
nervously. His gaze rested momen
tarily on Merritt Lane, his attorney, -
and then strayed about the crowd.
• Lane contended that technically
Noel still was in the custody of the j
Overbrook Instane Asylum as lie nev-:
er had been legally freed from that I
institution. For this reason he said '
Noel was not able to plead for him
self.
Assistant Prosecutor D'Alois said
the State contends that Noel was sane
on September 3rd when the crimes
were committed and now is fully able
to plead to the indictment. Noel's
counsel had said that the defendant
was not sane enough to give any aid
j to his attorney in preparing the de
fense.
GIRL CONFESSES
TO WRONG DOING
Motive For Mutilation of Blanchard
is Believed Revealed.
Monroe, Sept. 17.—Sheriff Clifford
Fowler announced today that Marie
Griffin, 18-year-old stepdaughter of
Turner Blanchard, had told him
that for three years she and her
stepfather have had improper rela
tions, and that recently there had
been much bitterness in the family
because of these relations.
The eonfessioin of the girl threw
considerable light on the mystery
surrounding the mntilation of
Blanchard, who. according to the
story told by him and corroborated
in part fay his wife, was kidnaped
from his home before daybreak last
Sunday morning by a “hooded band,”
taken some distance from the house,
mutilated and returned to his home,
located about three miles west of
Monroe, on highway 20. In her con
fession the sheriff believes the motive
for the criminal operation has been
revealed, but who performed the op
eration remains a mystery.
“Don't worry. Cliff Fowler . will
get ‘em.i’ is what many Union eoun
typeople are saying, with respect to
the Blanchard ease. Bit by bit, and
inch by inch, the sheriff and his
deputitis are closing in on the mys
teries, that have shrouded the crim
inal operation.
Prompted by reports by Blanch
ard and his wife of a "hooded band.”
officers for two days sought the trail
of such a band, hut no trace has been
found.
Blanchard now advances the
theory that the band probably was
after the man that lived in the bouse
on the (’root farm before he moved
to it. more than a month ago.
With no other motive found, the
public mind in Union county has set
tled down on the matter as a family
affair, originating from (he relations
between stepfather and stepdaughter.
The public conviction is more firmly
I ostablished by the fact that the
Blanchards have no one to accuse and
no motive to offer. They deny the
relationship with the stepdaughter,
even after she herself admits it.
