Husband Proves Poor Guardian
of Mrs. Downing*s Pocketbook
Thief Operates Under His Very
Nose. — Other Cases in
Court in ('arthajje
Readers of a half century or more
ago contained many fables that end
ed with a “moral,” which was a state
ment of the lesson taught by that
particular story.
This story has a moral, also, which
is "Never trust your husband to look
after your pocketbook,” and it is
placed at the beginning instead of at
the close for fear that there will be
some women who should profit by
it who will not read to the end.
Mrs. J. G. Downing, well known
in the social and religious circles of
Carthage, her home town, sells a
popular brand of toilet articles in her
spare time. On a recent day she was
in Southern Pines and while she was
out, talking with a prospective cus
tomer, she left her pocketbook on the
seat of the car, which was occupied
by the husband. While friend hus
band was absorbed in his newspaper,
along came Ed Adams, a colored man,
and picked up the pocketbook, unob
served by Mr. Downing.
In court on Monday, Ed pleaded
guilty and was given four months on
the roads. The greater part of the
$5.31 contained in the pocketbook was
recovered.
Robert Morrison, colored of Tay-
lartown, was given 30 days on the
roads, this to be suspended upon pay.
ment of a fine of $25 and the costs,
for throwing a rock which struck
the side of a pas.sing automobile near
the driver's head. He was found
guilty of an assault.
Walter’s Costly Kid«*
Walter Smith, colored of Greens
boro, was sxipposed to be working for
the Pinehurst Peach Company, but
he borrowed an automobile and drove
Irom West End to Aberdeen making
such fantastic zig-zags that he was
arrested in Aberdeen on a charge of
driving while intoxicated. The court
ruled that he must serve 60 days on
the roads and refrain from driving a
car for 90 days.
John Williams, Will Jones and Her
man Stone, the last-named white and
the others colored, were caught at
Aberdeen while "tresspasaing” on a
S, A. L. train. They were given road
sentences of 30 days each, capias to
issue at the will of the court at any
time in two years if the defendants
be found in Moore county.
John Carter, white of the Camer
on sectiorf, was charged with the lar
ceny of an Elgin wrist watch from
Daisy Ayers. The case was continued.
Sam McDonald and Dolphus Hen
derson, colored of the Vass section,
were tried for their part in an af
fray which took place recently at a
ball game in Vass and the case against
Clarence and Cleveland King, which

When Clem Wrenn, Jr. left South
ern Pines five week ago for a short
stay at the Interstate Hi-Y camp
I for boys, near Chimney Rock, he did
. not know he was to have the good
! fortune to spend the greater part of
the summer up there. But Lady Luck
took a hand in the proceedings and
Clem, Jr. is still enjoying the cool
climate and activities at Camp El
liott.
It happened this' way; When school
closed here the first of June Clem
, went to work and made money enough
j to pay his expenses for two weeks at
I camp. He made his reservation and
I when the time came entered camp
. along with 107 other boys from all
1 sections of the country. Before the
j end of the two weeks the manage-
; ment called him to the office and told
I him they were so very favorably im-
I pressed with the way he had conduct
ed himself and the splendid record
; he had made in all the camp activi-
j ties that they had decided to make
i him a member of the camp staff if
! he could stay on with them. He got
I permission from home to stay and was
immediately placed in charge of one
j of the cabinfi.
1 In the capacity of councilor he has
made good and the management ad
vised his mother that in addition to
, paying him a salary and expenses
i they wished to refund what he had
I paid for his second week up there.
His spirit of true sportsmanship and
fair play in all the athletic compe
titions was especially worthy of com-
' ment, they said. Amorjg' other out
standing achievements Clem was rvm-
nerup in the tennis tournament, an
excellent swimmer and voted the most
popular boy in camp. After camp
closes next week he will retui'n to his
home here.
The diseases prevalent in the state
for the week ending July 7 were led
by whooping cough, of which 898
cases were reported. The next on the
list was measles with 142 cases. Pel
lagra came next with 16 new cases;
scarlet fever, 11 cases; chicken pox,
10 Cases; typhoid fever, 6 cases; diph
theria, 6 cases; mciiingitis and small
pox, none.
In Moore county during the same
w'eek one case of whooping cough
and one case of pellagra was report
ed; others none.
In Moore county during the same
week one case of whooping cough
and one case of pellagra was report

Public health clinics have recently
been completed at Jackson Springs
Presbyterian Church, Jackson Springs
colored school, Sheffield’s house,
Manly, and Pinehurst. Clinics are be
ing held at Shady Grove, Carthage,
Eureka. Samarcand, Roseland and
Howard’s Mill. Several other new clin
ics are being arranged.
"These clinics have been generally
well attended,” says Dr. J. Syming
ton, Public Health Officer, “and we
are especially anxious to have all pre
school children vaccinated against
diphtheria. The toxoid being supplied
free by the State at present for all
children under six years of age, this
should be taken advantage of as we
never know when the toxoid might be
charged for again.”

completed. A baseball bat, a pistol,
and dewberry stakes figured in the
fracas. Henderson and Clarence King
were given 30-day road sentences
each suspended upon the payment of
a $10 fine and the costs. Cleveland
King and Sam McDonald were sen
tenced to the roads for 60 days each.
McDonald gave notice of appeal and
I bond was fixed at $200. This is not
the elderly Sam McDonald who re-
, sides in Va.ss and is a law abiding
citizen.
Judgment was suspended upon
pfl^ment of the costs in the case of
Dewey Allred, white, who was charg
ed with striking his mother with a.

Tells Kiwanis
In an informal talk at the Kiwanis
Club meeting on Wedne.sday Charles
W. Picquet placed the blame for stw
called salacious moving pictures on
the shoulders of the public. These
slightly off-color pictures are ^ the
only ones that have paid in recent
years, he said, because the public has
demanded spice in the programs. The
only exceptions have been George Ar-
liss and Will Rogers, who have play
ed to big houses with clean pictures.
As an example he cited one in
stance when he was forced by con
tract to run a picture here which he
considered “off color.’’ He warned
the public against it, “and had the
bigfgest house of the season,’ he .said.
But the boycott has scared the pro
ducers and we may expect a clean
up for a while, Mr. Picquet stated.
He put in a good word for Will H.
Hayes, movie tsar, stating that Mr.
Hays has been unfairly criticized be
cause, despite the general opinion of
his power, he has not the final say
with the producers.
