Comes Clear. Greensboro News. J. D. Norwood, former chairman of the board of directors of the People's National Bank of Salisbury, was last night in western • North Carolina fed eral district eourt here found guilty on a chnrge of violating the national banking laws. He was setiteneed by Judge H, H. Watkins to serve three years in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. Hia .j agwujpjw indicated £wt 4bry 1 to the federal circuit court ofappeals, the seat of Which is at Richmond. Va. \ Appeal bond was fixed by Judge M atkins at *315,000. and cost bond at $250. Bond was signed by John Mc ('unless, of Salisbury. Doughton Cleared. Earlier in the day. at 1:15 in the afternoon. Judge Watkins stated that he would direct .a verdict of not guilty in the case of J. I\, Doughton, fOrtiicr president of the bnnk, which failed on J«ne 8. 1023. This was done and Doughton goes clear of the six couuts m tire indictment upon which he and Norwood were tried separately. The judge said the evidence was not suf ficient to cpnvict Doughton. . Although Doughton is .ndictod sep arately in another ease, and with M. L. Jackson, a former director of the bank, jointly in another, Frank A. Liuney, district attorney; stated that the over until the next term of court for trial of criminal cases, which will be' held here in June, 1026! It appear* probable, from what was sa:d, that if the appeal of Norwood fails the other cases will not .come to* trial. The jury was out two hours, re turning its verdict at 10:15 o'clock last night. In that time the jurors ate supper, too. They deliberated about one hour and one-half and took one general ballot., but voting' tix times, one time on each count in the indictment. The vote was 12 to p for conviction (m the first three counts and 12 to 0 for not, guilty on the last three couuts. The first three were snf er "^^g :ilriSlll^ f ■ EVERYTHING if if To Give j|| !|! .

The Mooresyiue Enterprise call at tention to the fact that the arrest of Otto YY T ood was accomplished by Chief of Police YVoodsides, of. that, town, single handed. He had no as sistance and. asked for none. lte hM&L Umt Officer YVoodsides was ac-. rontffa riled Cy a yhsSe are not trfie. Wbotber -the reports (especially the one sent from Statesville to the Charlotte Observer) that Officer YVoodsidtts was accompanied by a i posse was based on surmise, the sum moning of posses being usual on such occasions, or whether somebody was trying to deprive the Moores ville.officer of credit that is his due, we don’t know. But it is a fact that Officer YVoodsides did make the ar rest unaided, and. he should have the full credit. He is the more entitled to the credit for the reason that YVood had been at large for quite a spell. He had traveled in three States, according to his story. On Sunday before his arrest he flaunted himself in YViikes county before the eyes of all beholders. The next day he drove in the open, on highway and city streets,' and nobody stood out in front of him and invited him to ‘'put ’em up" until he came within the domain of Chief YVoodsides at Mooresville. Maybe the numerous other officers through whose territory YVood passed didn't get a chance. But YVoodsides did get., a chance and took the -chance without assistance. He took puins to stage the hold-up at a point where others would not be endangered by the gun battle that was expected- biifc there was no shobting. either because YVood is overrated as a desperado or because he knew when he faced a mail. Ire dell people do not have to be told that Officer Y\ oinlsides fears not the face of mail Even the super-despera does, which YVood isn’t recogniz# a man when they see one. But the credit to Mr. YY’oodsides"isn't, los.son- ed by Wood's tame submission. The Mooresville officer accomplished at first ehance what no other officer had found a chance to do. Two Men. Monroe Enquirer. “He’s the richest man in our township.” I was told by his neigh bors. “He has between 1.200 and 1,- 500 acres of land, has money in the bank, and a lot out on interest.” “That's fine,” was my comment. “Guess you would miss him should he pass out?” “Not much,” said one of the neigli -bojjj, *''He doesn’t belong to the mwch,; taken little part in noigh bOiD'Ood affairs, and has- always been opposed to being taxed for schools” "Suppose he wants everything for his own family?” I surmised. "You’re wrong. He works hard, and so does his family. The only pleastfre the old man gets is in knowing that he has a iot of prop erty, But when he dies his children will soon spend the money it took him a life-time to accumulate.” Ikv another side of the county I one day last fall stopped at a home like cottage, There were several bright-eyed boys and girls in the family. I was surprised to see a radio wire sf tying from tile house top to a pole some distance away- They told me they heard wonderful music, lectures and sermons over their radio. I heard a piano, the player evidently having talent for music. There was ail automobile ill the garage at this home. Everybody, too, worked at this little farm, and they were happy. The head of the house is proud of his family. He is the rich man. The miser is the poor mam Houghton's Acquittal. ('ha rlotte Observer. Ir is the the ca%e of .7. Iv. Doughton, who was president of the broken I’eople’s National bank in Salisbury, that he was ineorporat <l into defensive position in the case on “inferential evidence, and the "inference” was of so eague a char artor that the president judge order ed a verdict of not gaily. The case against Doughton was so weak that tlic judge made declaration that if the jury had returned a verdict of guilty, he would have set the verdict aside. The prosecution; itself, admit ted ts weakness, but was inclined to dispute the disposition of the case on the case on the ground that while the alleged falser entries were on bona fide transactions, the defendant was aware of them. But Doughton’s vecerd. was straight and the court has so made record. The result of the trial must prove gratifying to the friends of Mr. Doughon, who had. it might be stated, the confidence of the people who knew him and their sympathy in the circumstances which involved him ill court proceedings. join Davidsonian Reporters Club.

Is North Carolina Too Poor to Edu cate Her Children? AVinston-Salem Journal. When confronted with the eig'.it montbs school issue Governor McLean promptly shifted the discussion to tnxes. It is well that he did. One of the cold, hard facts that all of us who favor increasing the school term from six to eight months in this commonwealth must fpce is the fact that it will take more money. And the only source of revenue for public schools in North Carolina is the tax levy. “I favor doing everything possible for the educational advancement of the state but I have not yet studied this proposition sufficiently to be ready to take a position on it,” stated the governor. "This proposal in volves questions of taxation and the ability of the state»and the counties to pay that must be given.serious con sideration,” he added. The governor was talking to the executive eommitte of the North Car olina Education Association, whose lpembers had asked for a conference on the eight-months school term. Ed uactional leaders of the state and the teachers on the firing line have long since learned that the six-months term is a failure. They know that the only hope of further educational prog ress in this commonwealth lies in the longer term. We shall not pause here to give any of the many arguments that can be made in favor of the eight-months term. We merely desire in this connection to call attention to the importnat question raised by Governor McLean. Is North Carolina too poor to give her children educational advantages equal to those enjoyed by children in other progressive states of the union? North Carolina too poverty-strick en to give the children of the rural sections a school term that means only justice for them? Is North Carolina willing to say that she is satisfied to let half of her children have an eight-months school and the other half have only six months? As Governor McLean proceeds with the study of this vital problem, other thoughtful men and women who have the best interests of their state at heart should put their heads to work on it, too. Is it not up to the peo ple of North Carolina to find away to raise money for a better public school system? Can North Carolina afford not to strain a point, if neces sary, to make an investment in the lives of her children? Will Participate in Junior Speaking Contest.
