Hendersonville, Oct. 16.—'Die jury in the case of state vs Bonnie Brook--, charged with the murder of former Mayor Sam Bryson, this afternoon visited the scene of the shooting, .returned to Vthe court room and lizard testimony of two witnesses and then settled down to listen to an even dozen arguments why they should or should not con vict the defendant. These arguments are expected to continue through Monday and possibly Tuesday morn ing. Defense concluded its '-testimony shortly before noon, witnesses giv ing defendant a good character, af ter which corroborative testimony of eye witesses to the shooting was supplied. Then the state brought up half a dozen or more witnesses to give eye witness versions of part of the shooting. One of these supplied abundant material for the defence and enabled the defendant to materially strengthen his self de fense plea. With this one exception- there was nothing new developed at today's hearing- ,Contrary to expectation, the procution did not attempt, to refute by testimony the contention of thp defense that Brooks had bee mental ly abnormal for some time, and that this condition was aggravated by the breaking up of his home, until at the time of the killing h:u mental -tate was. such -that, he was not con scious of doing wrong in killing Bry sou. It will rely entirely upon the testimony adduced in cross-examina tion to show that Brooks proved by his actions that he was mentally alert at nil times. Brooks appeared in court gayer than usual this morning. He liad discarded Jiis great coat for the first time since his arraignment. Show little effect from his gruelling ex amination of yesterday, he chatted freely with members of the family, and occasionally enjoyed replies of witnesses when of an amusing na ture. Virginia Colonels May Go. The Pathfinder. An oid v and time-honored institution in the# "Old Dominion" state is threatened—the large and imposing arraj- of colonels that are attached to the governor's staff. H. F. Byrd. Democratic nominee for governor of Virginia, favors abolition of the galaxq. He will sponsor a bill to that effect in the next session of the legislature. This amounts to an actual threat because a Democratic gubernatorial candidate in that state is-practically assured of election. Under the present system the Vir ginia Governor appoints 30 persons to his military staff. Mr. Byrd thinks this number entirely too great. A sinaller staff, in His opinion, would amply maintain the dignity of the commonwealth and at the same time be in keeping with the simplicity of a business administration." Besides, he favors a personnel recruited from the national guard and#officers reserve corps, instead of from civilian ranks as has frequently been the. custom. Explanation That Does Not Explain. Kaleigli News and Observer. The Monroe Journal, not disposed to criticize its neighbors, the Union county jurymen, for freeing Cole, seems to think that the yeniict of "not guilty”, was prompted by the fact that they do not believe in capital punishment. It says: And that brings us to me crux of the matter, which is, that the peo ple of this State do not believe in capital punishment except in ex treme and outrageous cases backed up by a career of lawlessness or the preslmption of lawlessness. It is no doubt true that an in creasing number of people in North Carolina hold the view attributed to them by the Mionroe Journal. If the jury had had no alternative except electrocution or letting Cole go free without, any condemnation or punish ment, the position of the Union county paper would have foundation. The situation, howeverfi was not these two- choices. The presiding judge made it very plain that the jury could find Cole guilty of crime without the death penalty by, either of these findings: I. Murder in the first degree; 2. Murder in the second degree; - 3. Mansnlughter; 4. Guilty but insane and not re sponsible. Therefore, the verdict cannot be explained or defended because of lack of belief in capital punishment. It did mot enter into the veroict directly or indirectly, certainly not after the plain exposition of the law by Judge Finley.

'Sal THE AUTO RACES Eighteen Cars Will Enter the Con test at Charlotte November 11th. Charlotte. N. C., Oct. 16.—Eighteen kings of the roaring road, in the fast est cars on the automobile race tracks of the world, have applied for en trance to the third world's clmmpioiK ship grind on November lltb on the Charlotte Speedway. The entries include: Pete DePaolo. winner of the Indianapolis race; Tom my Milton, conqueror of the daring Earl Cooper in the inaugural race last October; Bob McDonough, the youngster who finished first at Altoona last month, Leon Duray, the dashing Frenchman ; Jeerry Wonderlich ; Fred Comer, Fresno winner; Cooper, one of the ifiost. popular of the drivers ;1 Frank Elliott, Phil Shafer, Dr. Wil liam E. Shatturk ; Harry Hartz, Ben nie Hi^l; and half a dozen others; a number of new faces. That some speed records may„fnll even before Fred Wagner, the grizzled starter, signals the start of the .main event, is indicated by the competition which will have to be exhibited by the speed kings in the trials for the 250- mile grind. With more drivers applying than for either of the two previous races, there is assurance that the trial runs will be ‘‘wide, open,” to leave no un certainty of participation in the clas sic. Only a few weeks of the 1925 au tomobile racing season remains after the lacal race, November 11. This fact is cited ns an added factor in the heightening of competition in the clas sic here. With fewer opportunities for gaining points toward the annual championship the speed demons will be pressing eacli other all the harder to make their place in the champion ship contest the more certain. Weekly Cotton Review. New York, Oct. 16—Ralliis from the low prices reached on the break of last bureau day have not been fully maintained in the cotton mar ket, but trade buying or covering has been in evjdence on the declines with prices showing a tendency to steady below the 21 1-2 cent level for De cember. The bearish sentiment cre ated by the increased estimate of the crop and lienvy ginning figures has remained a factor and doubtless lias accounted for increased offerings on the advances. Selling on tlie decline, however, lias been held in check by reports of'Heavy rains or low temperatures in the soutii and according to local brokers a good many contracts have been taken out of the market by trade buying on scale down orders. The heavy rains in the south have been accompanied by reports of damage to open cotton and killing frosts have been reported at a number of points in the northern part of the belt. Freezing tempera tures Have not been general enough to cause much alarm apparently and the impression here appears to be that the reports of rain damage have referred chiefly to the grade of open cotton. On the whole, consequently, there does not appear to have been much disposition to shade down estimates of the crop, but it is expected that the unfavorable weather may show in rather lighter ginning returns to Oc tober 18th, than previously antici pated. Ideas as to the showing of the next government crop report October 26th, have not yet been definitely formulat ed. but private reports are expected next week which will probably create sentiment as to its showing. A report issued by a prominent eastern belt spot firm today estimated the yield at 14,887,000 bales or a shade over the last government re port, but appeared to be without much effect on the market, which was re garded by some brokers as indicating that trades were pretty well prepared for an official forecast of between PAGE THREE VOCATIONAL, CLASSES. - ,j More Than 3.300 Tar Heieas Pre- | paring For Larger Opportunities. o Raleigh, Oct. 16.—< JP ) —More than -3.300 earnest Tar Heels, meet of them , 4 young men and women, but a eonsid erable number who have reached ma- - turer years, are preparing themselvwr for larger opportunities'and increased i,-m usefulness through study in vocation- . 1 al classes that are being conducted ill. !|X various centers in the state under the - supervision of the division of voca tional education of the State depart rnent of public instruction. This work, says George L. Coggin, J state superintendent of industrial edu- ' e cation, and a member of the staff of the vocational education division, has 1 been underway in North Carolina for ,~j the past seven years and the number i of these vocational classes has in creased from five in 1918-19 to 220. During the same period, says Mr. Cog- :.M gin. the number of pupils Has jumped . j ; from 128 to the present enrollment q's i of more than 3.300. i Practically all the pupils enrolled' . are wage earners already and are . studying for the purpose of making u themselves more proficient in their T£ trades, increasing their earning pow 'ers, and better their chances for ad- > : vancement in their chosen fields of . work, according to Mr. Coggin. And .i . he added that they are securing their : * goal—that “there are literally bun- || dreds of instances of promotions, in creased remuneration, and more pro- Si : ficient work as a result of the train , ing received in these vocational class- jjj es.” Most of tlie classes arc held t at night, says Mr. Coggin. Os the total of 229 trade and in dustrial classes. 60 per cent are tex tile school. Next in popularity are % the building trades classes, with 24 ' tier cent, while all others, including business courses and general educa tion, constitute 16 per cent. N 0.., 4 class is held where fewer than eight-* pupils are enrolled, or where the at-’; i: tendance, for three successive nights,'' t falls below 6 Oper cent of the enrqll-' ment.- Thc increasing diversification in the textile industry, says Mr. Cog- 3 gin. with new fabrics and yarns and with a definite trend toward finish-,. ing goods at home, has created a defM t» Ip 1 liito need for increased study and ■ greater skill among textile employees..- Hence tiie popularity of classes in ,1 textile subjects, he states. The division of vocational educa tion is receiving the earnest and cn- [i thusiastic backing of the cotton man- i nfacturers in North Carolina, Mr. % Coggtn says. 'The manufacturers, he j says, “visioning agreater industry .1; ami seeing tiie need of better trained and more skillful workers in many V1 department of the industry,” are pro viding class room sj>ace, lights, heat, h? and access to machinery, in addittA 1 to paying one-quarter pf the salaries M of the teachers. While perhaps the most effective | work is being done in the textile M classes, Mr. Coggin points out that remarkably good work, with satis- its factory results are being done indthkr +1 lines. Carpenters are being trained, i in the business classes, young mem ?| and women are being given thairing q that enables them, through greater efficiency; to materially increase their "-IS earning power, and to put them in line for promotion.
