: c IN AND ABOUT THE CITY
> DAVIDSON DIFFICULTIES
i END IN SEPARATION PACT
Popular Physician and His Wife Di
vide Property and Drop Divorce Ae
tieos.
Charlotte Observer.
The marital difficulties between Dr.,
and Mrs. J. E. 8. Davidson, for some
1 months the subject of more or less
regretful interest in Charlotte, came
1 to a bead in superior court yesterday
afternoon. A strong array of law
yers on either side proceeded with the
task of selecting a jury, and conclud
-1 ing that, read the pleadings. The
‘ case would probably have consumed
two days.
Judge C. C. Lyon, grown gray in
a life time of adjusting ojher people's
affairs, looked at the husband and the
1 wife, and said to them:
“You two could agree on some mu
tually satisfactory basis of settlement
if you would. Why don't you try
it?” ,
The suggestion threw a little flurry
into both camps, hut it was sufficient:
to start a conference that ended iu a
1 signed agreement of separation.
By the agreement Mrs. Davidson
gets the custody of their little daugh
ter. $4,000 in money and most of the
family furniture. Dr. Davidsou gets
1 the Nortli College street resident- * —rhe
right to sell it.* at least—the David
son heirlooms which had been in bis
wife's possession and his wife’s waiv
er cf all marital claims oil his prop
erty.
The divorce actions were dropped,
all parties agreeing on the articles of
separation. T. A. Adams and D. E.
Henderson represented . Mi—. itavid
son and Walter Clark and Plipnnier
! Stewart represrtrfed Dr. Davidson.
. Mrs. Davidson's allegations were
1 that her husband has been drunken
and abusive. His counter charges
were that the visits of bis wife's sis
ter, Mrs. Kyle Miller, had disrupted
the agreeable hoint life and had caused
his wife to become far from her for
mer self. Dr. Davidson's friends say
' that whatever his former habits may
liave been, his life is now one of com
! pleto sobriety. Mrs. Davidson, it is
1 said. . will return with her sister to
Florida, where she has been living re
’ cently.
The Funny Dd.Vctives in “The Go
rilla.”
Even Mr. Mulligan and Mr. Gar
l'ity—they are the funny detectives j
in “The Gorilla." which will he pre
sented at Charlotte Auditorium
Theater—one night only December
15. would dismiss as “very elemen
tary" the proposiiou that before a
play can be produced it must be
written. Therefore. before relating
how “The Gorilla" came to be pro
duced, mention should he made of
how it came to be written- And
therein lies a tale.
As is well known, Ralph Spence.
, the author of “The Gorilla," has
- been for a long time a successful
writer of motisn picture scenarios.
Dramatists who have emtfiyed their
efforts to writing for the speaking j
stage are opendly contemptuous of
the scenario writing guild. The mem
bers of the latter are impressed very I
; little b.v the superior airs effected
‘ by the playwrights.
This situation was never so well
exemplified as it was one night sev
, oral years ago when Mr. Spence, as
a self-respecting scenario writer, was
engaged iu an argument with the
authors of a successful mystery play
then current, as to the difficulty Os
( writing a good mystery play. Spence
expressed the opinion that it was no
trick at all. The usual outcome of a
violent difference of opinion is the
making of a bet. and this particular
argument proved to be no exception
to tile rule. After listening to a long
‘ diatribe on how ridiculous his ut
terance was, Spence offered to bet
that he rtmhl write a good mystery
play in three days. The playwrights
I made the bet with alacrity.
Meanwhile, the argument, which
. was being conducted rather vocifer
i ously in a Broadway restaurant, had !
attracted an interested listener. This |
gentleman proved to be A1 H. j
Woods, the producer. Woods was so j
taken with Spence's sporting spirit. '
[ that he offered to produce the play |
when written. Thar offer won the lad !
for Spence, if he was able to finish
\ his play within tho require three
days, for a promise of production
covered the other condition of the
bet. that rhe result of Spence's ef
forts be a "good" play.
Mill Shares Again Resume Upward
Trend.
Tiie improvement in earnings of
textile mills through the Carolina*
continues to stimulate interest. |
[ Stocks arc being closely held for the
\ usual January dividends although
| there was enough tending during the
: week to cause an advance of 48 cents
per share in bid price according to fig
ures just released b.v R. 8. Dickson
& Company. The average for the
* week is 119.04 as compared with
118.56- for the previous Wk'ek. South
Carolina led in actual trading through
out the week ami it is noted that a
t mnjbrity of the stocks showed a small
| advunce in bid price.
) Why Crop , Prices Drop.
| Baltimore Sun. j
| Farmers soniet fines act incompre-
I hensibly. Potato growers, for in-
L stance, got wind of the tremendous
I Shortage iu the jsitato crop. The re
| suit was thut potatoes poured into
| N>w Y’ork in such numbers as to
I knock from $1 to $1.50 off the price
| and incidentally force the railroads
I to declare an embargo. Perhaps the
| embargo will save the agriculturists
| from themselves, but, even ho, it is
| difficult to understand why those
| who had a comer on potatoes should
I insist on selling them immediate!*.
I Don’t the farmers know that pota-
I toes cannot be grown in winter? Or
I are they philanthropists wh want to
K sell cheaply?
I In olden days it used to be tbe
I custom for all homes to be bled and
I thoroughly washed on the day after
I .Christmas. Thi* was supposed to
I preserve them from harm through the
| ensuing year. v

THE CONCORD DAILY.TRIBUNE'
ANOTHER TRAFFIC SIGN
NEEDED FOR CONCORD
.Traffic Officer Suggests That Sign Be
Installed at Intersection of Spring
and Franklin.
Traffic in Concord has benefitted ’
from the new traffic signs just in
stalled in the city and auto drivers
feel mucti safer in approaching those
corners where the signs are operat
ing.
This is the report of a traffic of
ficer of the 'city who has talked with
auto drivers and who has learned from
personal observation that the signs
have facilitated travel over the streets
of the city.
This officer was especially pleased
Chat a sign was installed at the inter
section of Grove and Spring streets
and this sign has already proved such
a help to .the school children that he
suggested that another be installed
at the intersection cl Franklin Ave- ,
nue and Spring street.
"More school children cross the
■ street n.t the Franklin Avenue-Spring
street crossing tfian at the Grove
street-Spring street crossing," the of
ficer stated, "and in addition the
crossing is a more dangerous one.
If the city could get a signal, for
this corner, it would have present
needs cared for adequately.”
It was printed cut by the officer
that the motor for the signal at Grove
and Spring streets could operate a
signal at tho other corner, thus mak
ing it necessary for the city to pur
chase only the lights.
In Cl is connection it was explained
that in addition to the children from
Central School, quite a number of
high school students cross at Franklin
Avenue and Spring street and the pro- I
posed sign would be of great benefit
to them.

VU TIM MAKES A PL&A
TO GOVERNOR iTLKAft
Affix ville Mob Members Bring Pres
sure on Wsmnn.—Alas Pleads Far
Them.
Raleigh. Dec. 11.*—Asheville’ niob
ists. who find joils aud penitentiaries
unplrosant, have brought pressure
enough on the victim of Alvin Man
seUv to move her to passionate plea
,t® Governor to save Mansell
and especially the mob members.
The letter was writtten La-centner
8, but not until Asheville let it fly
today nobody here save the officials
knew of it. Governor McLean said
this afternoon that he is not called
on to act now because the Mansell
appeal i« before the Supreme court.
IBs execution is automatically stay
ed uutil the spring.
Governor McLean ip, of course,
moved b.v considerations of mercy if
there is greater doubt of Mansell’s
guilt The White woman who mode
his conviction possible reiterates
her o. .drive statement as to his guilt.
But Buncombe people bring forward
eircumstanci-H *wbich give some
doubt At any rate, the pressure pf
the mob on the woman must be
heavy. She begs a page for the black
man and fonr pages for the mob.
She -coins to understand its chival
ry. She speaks through another wo
man. .Mrs. Luther Townsend, mother
of om- of the mob members.
Tim letter was made public today
by Governor Mcla-nn, will give
n heating to this request if the Su
preme court affirms the death judg
ment and the case comes to Raleigh.
The governor turns the letter over
with a reply of Hoyle Sink, pardon
commissioner.
The Woman’s Iwriter.
Asheville, December $. lOSfl
"1 >ar Governor: I want to write
Ts" a few lines to try in my weak
■way to tell my worries that I am
haying to emlnre. I was the unfor
tunate white woman that was crimin
aHv insulted in Asheville. N. (\, on
[the morning of September 19, 1925,1
and 1 feel that I can never see any
l more peace through life unlet** I
] can beg for the boys that thought
they were doing the right thing when
they went to the jail after the negro
Who insulted me.
‘“N ov what I want to do is to
plead for the life of the negro. Give
hhn any kind of punishment besides
death He is the right one as sure
as there is a God. but do please let
me plead for his life. PI rave don't
kill him. Give hint a life sentence —
anything but death.
“Ami. dear governor. spare the
boys who stood by for my sake.
There was so many who \yeiit into
the mob not knowing what it would
end n. so many who had never been
in anything before, and men whe
have- got families to think of. Please
do lei me, if I may. plead for these
lexir men. Let them come back
home let them come back where the
families will be complete, where
their weary hearts can be at rest
and he as they were when this all
took place.
“Please do answer the plea of one
who would be willing to fall on their
knees for the poor men who were,
some ta-ho, gone front*
limitosso long.all foe my sake. ■
"And then, too. think of, the good
motlirrs and fathers whose hearts
arc almost bowed down with grief
taking their boys away from home.
Si inf may never live to come* back,
orliefs may lose their lAved ones.
Let me plead, beg, or anything, to
bring them back. If it will do the
least bit of good I will come to your
office if I have to walk, to plead for
the boys. Is-! me iiear that my plead
ing will not be in vain. Give our
men another chance and 1 know they
will be better men and we all hope
there will never be another thing
happen in this town again. We earn
estly hope Mich will never happen
here again, so the poor boys wont
want to feel that they would like to
do anybody harm.
“Think yourself how great was
the temptation to see any woman
mistreated. They thought they did
right in taking up for me. If I can
only do anything to help them in
coming back home, as I know I
will never know any peace until I
can «jo as much for them- lad me
hear that you will do all you ran for
these poor boys. Please do let me
be*?
