Negress Mas Fleeced by Salisbury
Pair.
Lexington, Dispatch.
How aif unnamed Lexington Negro
woman was Aim slammed out of SBOO
by two smart mulatto men is told by
yesterday’s Salisbury Post. The trick
was worked in the Walines building,
of that city, according to the Salis
bury paper.
Two negro men whose identity was
not learned found out that the visiting
negress had a considerable amohut
of money so they made themselves
friendly and “generously” agreed to
take the money and add to it great
ly. In fact, (be newspaper story says,
they promised her that within a few
minutes they could make the SBOO of
real money into $1,600 no Tc-s real
cash.
Thereupon it was agreed that one
of the men should wait with the wom
an at the Wallace building while the
other wcnf“tb'get the money increas
ed. As time passed into more time
the man remained with the Lexing
ton woman began to express alarm
that the other did not return and this
alarm grew into indignation express
ed in the bitterest terms. The situa
tion became “unbearable" to the said
male companion and he decided there
was nothing left for him but to go
and find the other fellow.
And that seems to be about the end
of the story, except that sundry citi
zens of color here have been racking
their brains to identify some local wo
man of their race who might be like
ly to be running around with SBOO on
the hip.
It was through the sale of oil stock
the Lexington Negress doubled her
money.

WASHINGTON —What politi
cians ky and what they
really think often are two
quite different things.
For instance, Republican politi
cians say they expect their party
to gain control of the Senate at
the next Congressional election.
Also for instance. Democratic
politicians predict that their crowd
will gain control of the house.
It isn't a bit likely that either
group actually thinks any such
thing.
• • •
WHEN the Republicans speak
of controlling the Senate,
they mean genuine control,
tthey control It on paper now, but
they cant depend on all their own
votes—that is, the votes of inde
pendents only nominally classed as
Republicans.
/ ) The way they tell it, the agricul
tural states are so much more
prosperous than they were that
radical sentiment has subsided and
they're confident that these states
will choose “regular" Republican
In place of “insurgent” Republi
can senators in 1926.

THE point the Republicans neg
lect to stress Is that all the
chances favor their loss of at

Boy Dies After Living Six
* Years With Spinal Cord Cut
Lexington Dispatch.
Six years after a rtle bullet fired in

spinal eord, Howard (Volts, son of

three 1 miles east of Lexington.
The ease of young Crotts is said by
local physicians to be without a
known parallel in medical records of
this country. Persons who have had
their spinal cords cut have been known
to live sixty days and some even long
er'thnn that, but so far as local doc
tors remember having read there is no
fecord of one living for six years.
When Howard was six years old he
was playing with a neighbor boy, who
secured a 22 rifle in the thought it
was .unloaded and pointed -it at young
('rods playfully, laughingly saying.
"I'm, going to shoot you." To the
horror of this lad the gun fired. The
bullet entered young Crotts’ neel; just
,the collar bone and came out
hfglrin the back, l’aralysfs'-ffrffni the
neck downward followed almost Im
mediately.
Tiie injured boy was taken to Char
lotte and X-Ray pictures made there
showed the spinal eord had been cut
in two. It was said to have been pos
sible: that a little of the tissue of the
eord remained.
From that day until h : s death Sun

but rested much of the time in a
