NORWOOD SENTENCED TO PRISON. In the case of .1. I). Norwood, for merly of Salisbury, we find another North Carolina jury returning a ver dict of “guilty" against a prominent and wealthy man. Norwood was tried in the federal court at Greens boro and found guilty on three of the six counts in the felony indictipent against him. Judge AA’atkins, who presided at the trial, directed a ver dict of not guilty in the case agaiust J. K. I)oug4 ton. who was tried at the same time. “A debt to society was created by this bunk’s failure, and it had to be paid." said Judge AA'atkius after the verdict had been received. He sen tenced Norwood to serve one year in prison for each of the counts on which he was found guilty. Norwood and Doughtou wore trim! on charges growing out of the failure of the Peoples’ National Bank of Sal isbury. Earlier in the week a mis trial resulted in another case in which Norwood was tried. During the past several years quite a number of bank officials have been tried and convicted in North Carolina after the banks over which they held the controlling power, had failed. The time was when a wealthy banker could escape punishment but the peo ple of North Carolina have changed their minds. They arc holding respon sible the men entrusted with public money and when this money is con » trar.v to law, those responsible for such waste arc made to pay. Norwood was indicted several years ago and his trial was so long delayed that many persons expressed the opin ion that he would never be tried. “The wealthy man never goes to prison,” was the remark often heard in connec tion with the case. "Steal or waste big money and you are safe," was an other expression often quoted by the public. Before his court troubles became known Norwood was considered one of the State's rich men. He wqs con nected with cotton mills as well as banks.jp the State and generally was looked upqn as a man of wealth and outstanding character. Many of his friends still Refuse {<> believe that lie knowingly' did anything criminal. It seems to be dearly established that Doughtou is not guilty, and it la gratifying to his many friends that learn that it; was so found by the jury. TAX FIGHT NOT OVER. ' tflie House has passed the tax meas ure but the real fight Will begin when the measure comes up in the Senate. In that body it is agreed that tax re ductions should be lutfilc but the Dem «mts arernot satisfied With tie -man-' ntr in which the reductions are pro- ] pimed. ’ ! ‘Secretary Mellon will undoubtedly be heard by the Senate committee which wHI he given the bill. The •otxetary is eipected to renew, bis Y. recommendation to maintain m in come tax exemption of $2,509 for married men and SI,OOO for (tingle persons, rather than the increased ex emptions of $3,500 and $1,500 re spectively, as carried in the House measure. The Democrats favor the above but they want more. They want the man of moderate means to get the big re duction ail down the line. Senator Simmons will lead the minority in the Senate fight and the Democrats and insurgents will di rect their drive mainly against the reduction of the maximum surtaxes from 40 to 20 per cent. Senator Sim mons so far has declined to reveal the figures in the substitute bill which the Democrats wiH propose, but it is believed that it will carry a surtax rate of at least 25 per cent, and prob ably 30 per cent. Plans have been perfected for a glorious Christmas for the boys at the Stonewall Jackson Training School. Gifts for each boy at the school have been purchased from cash donations sent in by friends of the institution and Christmas Eve and Christinas Day will be very home like for the students at the school. A huge Christmas tree, loaded with the gifts, will be the center of the Yuletide exercises at the school, and the program has been arranged with the view of creating within the boys a true Christmas spirit. WILL INVESTIGATE NEW TREATMENT OF CANCER Very Remarkable Results Have Been Obtained By Englishmen With Lead Cure. , Baltimore, Dec. 18.—In order that the American medical profession may be fully informed regarding the lead treatment, for cancer recently an nounced by Dr. AA’. Blair Bell, Dr. Francis Carter AA’ood, director of the Crocker Institute of Cancer Re search, Columbia university, has sailed to London to make a first hand investigation. This announcement was made here tonight by Dr. George A Soper, man aging director of the American So ciety for the Control of Cancer, be fore a joint meeting of the Balti more City Medical society and the Maryland Cancer committee. Den tists and nurses were invited to the meeting to receive information re garding methods of preventing can cer. Dr. Soper, who returned a few weeks ago from an investigation of what European scientists are doiug in eaVef research, told for the first time the result of his observations. In his comment upon the work of Dr. Bell, he said that it was clear that "some very remarkable results had been obtaiued in some in stances." He emphasized the fiu't that Dr. Bell himself cautioned against the use of the lead treat ment by any but skillful hands.' AVhile in England, Dr. Soper visit ed the laboratories of Gye and Bar nard. who last summer announce*! the discovery of a special organism which they believed to be the cause of cancer. AA’hile Dr. Soper would not commit himself as convinced un til the work of the English scientists had been more thoroughly checked, he said that under their ultra microscope colonies, of organisms, presumably isolated from cancer les ions, were observable. A very nvvorabie impression had been made upon him. Dr. Soper said, by the approch which Dr. AA'illium E. Gye and Dr. James E. Barnard were making. Shutting off Source of Wet supply. According to the report given out from the office of B. C. Sharpe, pro hibition enforcement commissioner for the western district of North Carolina the past week, for the month of November, violators of the A'olscad law suffered heavily, the 40 deputies operating from the Char lotte office having carried oil a vigor ous warfare in an attempt to shut off the source of supply of Christmas booze. There are 50 counties in the west ern district and during tile month, according to 'report. 58 persons were arrested and 39 additional warrants were issued for alleged violators. Property appraised at $35,805.50 was seized and destroyed by raiders dicing the month, this including 92 distilleries, 12 stills and 51 worn*. The report explains that distilleries are whisky-making plants in opera tion while stills are plant nol in use and generally are found partially dismantled. The agents captured 1,055 gallons of spirits, 87.082 gallons of beer, 56 gallons of wine and much mash used in making liquor. Seventeen automo biles. carrying contraband were seiz ed in the course of the month, while one motorcycle being used in carry ing whisky to market was taken. Dcmbey G. Thompson is Dead at Norwood.

The (soviet government of Riassia has is sued the fiat. Three years of grace are allowed the gipsies, then tßere Inust be noNnore wandering through ail the Russias. The covered wagon, the swarthy soothsayer in brilliant yags, wild gipsy music at the road side cauyg fire, must take up the trial to limbo. “Os the many new decrees and programs of the soviet republic, set tling the gipsy on the land probably has as little hope as any <>f ac complishment.” says the National Geographic Society. “Many nations in many ages have tried to control that strange figure, the gipsy— and have failed.” Since the early part of the 19th century studeuts and scholars have tried to understand the gipsy. They have compared the gipsy of Russia to the gipsy of Hungary, Spain, England and America. They have charted his westward advance. They have examined ' his language and linked it with Sanskrit and tongues of India. They have set down his customs. They have accounted for nearly every characteristic of the gipsy race except one that sets the gipsy apart from all other races. AA’hy has the flame of nomadism lived in the gip y? Why can't he deny tiie call of the open roads? That is the real mystery. It stands unexplained. Gipsies have had inducements to settle on the land in nearly every nation they have invaded. In Scot land they paid for vagrancy with their necks in the time of James A'. A few countries can report perman ent commuuities of gipsies, but gen erally the law glides over their black heads and fails to mold them into "good, solid citizens-’- Sons and daughters of Romany are inveterate nomads. "Another mystery of gipsydom, I the capacity for keeping the race strain pure although they wander the world over and mix with men of all nations, is easier to explain,” the Geographic asserts. "Strict obedience to three precepts of gipsy law has saved their individuality from the METHODIST YOUNG PEOPLE TO CONFERENCE Will Attend Interdenominational Stu dent Conference at Evanston. 111. •Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 19.—OP)—In addition to attending their own de nominational , convention of young people at Memphis. Tenn., December "Ist to January 3rd, Southern Metho dists will participate in the inter denominational student conference to be lipid at Evanston, 111., Declunber 29th to January Ist, it is announced by Mrs, H. H. Steele, of the board of missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. South. The purpose of the conference, ac cording to Mrs. Steele, who will pre side ever the Southern Methodist sec tion of the group' meetings, is to find out how tile youth of America may. through* the church, make a start Co ward realizing the ideals that have only been discussed at former student gatherings.

I ideas The Journal is badly mis taken in both the man and the job. Major AA’ade H. Phillips as Director of Conservation and Development in North Carolina ‘will prove a genuine force for Commonwealth progress. There is no doubt but that an extraordinary opportunity to serve the State awaits the man who fills this position. The job is a big one. Governor McLean recognized that fact and took considerable time to find a man who he though would be able to tackle it with reasonable as surance of success. Major Phillips is in the prime of manhood. He has ability and vision. He is a progressive. He knows North Carolina. As Commander of the American Legion in this State he demonstrat ed a capacity for leadership. He is aggressive. He possesses that in definable something which, for lack of a-better name, we call "pqp." He puts things over. And if he doesu’t put over this new job he has agreed to tackle, there will be a multitude of disappointed people, uot only in his home town of Lexington, but all over North Carolina. Governor McLean has not made an appointment that inspired higher confident than this one has in the continued success of his Administra tion as an exponent%aad agent of sound progress. fn Memory of Unknown AVorM War Dead.

It seems to me that the first foovc is to have a talk with that desk sergeant at police headquarters. I’ll j take one of jrour cars, if I may, and go right over.” „ M?; 5 But Aput Cclimena had herself ■ ip hand once more. “I am going with you,” she atfc ' nounced with determination. i Bing looked doubtful. “If I have \ anything to report, I’ll telephone 1 you at once, of course,” he demur- ] red. “But I really don’t think ” 1 “It’s not necessary that you should ! —” Aunt Celimena was recovering j rapidly as may be seen. “I wish to i talk to tha.t policeman myself.” j “In that case, Miss Moore;” Mr. i Brewster put in nervously, “I feel 1 sure I had better accompany you.” i Aunt Celimena nodded absently, ] fixing an inquiring eye on Salton- i stall Adams, who had as yet taken \ no tie five part in the discussion. The latter roused himself hur riedly from the dazed abstraction .which had enveloped hinjevgr since that soft and shining reacuH of Connemara’s had slipped out of its 'tissue paper package into his aston ished palm. “Naturally I’m going, too,” he said simply. “Shall we keep to gether, Carrington, pr divide our forced?” Better keep at first,” Bing decided. “Later we’ll see.” It was Eing, with his usual cock sure assertiveness, who fell natural ly into command of the situation,- and none of th other three cared, apparently, to dispute him. Even Aunt Celimena seemed rather re-, lieved than otherwise, in spite of her ' earlier suappishness, to rely ou his judgment now.. Therefore, ten minutes later, with Bing at the wheel, the search party of four was heading by motor for the Greenwich police headquarters. Here, to their relief, news awaited them. The stolen car had been traced to the ferry. .“At least we’ll know we’re not travelling in the opposite direction, as we might easily have done,” Aunt Celimena sighed. She had lost a good deal of her ustfal belligerency during the short -run from Moore lands, as Bing noticed with appre ciation. She had become further depressed, too, after a few words ex changed with a very noncommittal and unimpressed desk sergeant in the Greenwich police station. The fact that the heiress presumptive to Moorelands had disappeared with out explanation, and under decided ly questionable circumstances, ap peared to mean little or nothing in Sergeant Flynn’s existence. But He did exhibit % lively curiosity as to why two of the searchers should wear fancy dress tinder their lpng polo coats. He seemed, too, to en tertain w.holly unreasonable suspic ions of a slight'Somewhere, aimed at his official dignity.. Before proceeding further, Bing set to work to raise Bayville by telephone, and after much exasper ating delay succeeded in rousing a sleepy Central, but the ferry office wouldn’t answer, and apparently no police station existed. So, after a brief consultation with the other searchers, Bing headed the car back to Stamford.
