McConnell, World War Ace,
Once Lived in Carthage
Judge Samuel P. McConnell, fa
mous figure of the Illinois bar and
politics more than a generation ago
and once a candidate for the United
States Supreme Court, died last week
in Los Angeles, California.
Judge McConnell lived for a num
ber of years at Carthage where he
had large interests, including the
Randolph and Cumberland Railroad
and the development of the territory
up in the Deep River section. He did
much to advance the fortunes of the
country up about McConnell, High
Falls and Hallison.
He was a man of prominence and
great popularity in Moore county.
He was the father of James Rogers
McConnell who joined the Lafayette
Escadrille in the war against Ger
many and was one of the first Amer
icans to be killed. A monument to
Jajnes McConnell stands in front of
the Moore County Hospital and in
the Courthouse yard in Carthage.
Judge McConnell, 85 years of age,
had learned his law in the office of
Abraham Lincoln in Springfield. Illi
nois, and was the last of five per
sons who identified the body of the
martyred President when it was re
moved to the Lincoln Memorial.
Tried Famed Cases
During his career on the bench,
Judge McConnell heard several world-
famous trials, including the Cronin
murder trial and he incurred the ire
of President Theodore Roosevelt by
obtaining pardons for participants in
the famous Haymarket street riots.
Later, he went to New York and
became executive head of the Fuller
Company, one of the largest build
ing concerns in the world. He W’as
clo.sely associated with the late Judge
Gary, Frank Vanderlip, James Still
man, Andrew Carnegie and other
noted figures of industry.
Judge McConnell was suggested for
vice-president on the Democratic
platform with William Jennings Bry
an.
He leaves his widow, four daught
ers, Mrs. Mitchell Follansbee, Mrs.
R. P. Truitt, Mrs. F. G. Albright and
Elizabeth McConnell, and a son, John

For the past several years the

ciples of building and loan and the

different phases of life, and this year
the contest is being sponsored in con
nection with the February new stock

Christmas Saving Club.
J. Talbot Johnson, a director in
the association, met with the pupils

a great deal of enthusiasm.

ONLY TWO CASES HEARD IN
RECORDER’S COURT MONDAY
Only two defendants were tried in
Recorder’s Court on Monday of this
week, which goes to show that day
by day in every way we’re growing
better and better, or that we are
learning how to more successfully
evade “the law.”
Willie Hampton, colored, was found
guilty of a simple assault. His 90-
day sentence was to be suspended
upon the payment of the costs and
upon condition that he behave him
self and not violate any law for six
nionths.
W. G. Smith, white, was given thir
ty days on the roads for drunken
driving, this to be suspended upon

split even this week, each winning
and losing one game. The girls lost
to Elise Monday night with a score
of 24 to 14. Eleanor Eddy was high
scorer with nine points while Mary
Elizabeth Cameron was right behind
her chalking up eight. Again Virgin
ia Stevick kept the score down by ex
cellent guarding. In the Carthage
game, which the girls won 14 to 7,
considerable improvement in the team
work w'as noticed. Southern Pines
holding Carthage to one single point
until the half. It looks like the girls
have at last found their strength and
will be going places.
The boys won a thriller from
Elise by the hair raising score of 23
to 21. It was nip and tuck all the
way but in the last thirty seconds
of play George Pottle sank a pretty
shot to win the game and relieve the
tension. George also had high score
but Bob Beck was right behind. Bill
Winters floor work was very good and
had the other team bewildered. In the
Carthage game the boys did not
show' their usual strength but they
will doubtless snap out of this lethar
gy. The final score was 21 to 3.

“Devil Dogs of the Air,” a m.ghty
romance of the flying marines, the
attraction at the Pinehurst Theatre
Monday, February 11th, matinee and
night, is based on a story by John
Monk Saunders dealing with the avia
tion corps of the U. S. Marines. It
again brings together the inimitable
trio who appeared in ‘‘Here Comes
the Navy,” James Cagney, Pat
O'Brien and Frank McHugh. Margar
et Lindsay has the leading feminine
role. Included in the supporting cast
are 1,000 Marines who take part as
extras or in bit parts. There are any
number of dare-devil flying stunts
with planes crashing and men leap
ing from their blazing ships in para
chutes. Spectacular maneuvers of the
Marine Corps, with the U. S. S. Ma
con, as well as scores of airplanes
in battle formation and a dozen war
ships participating add to the many
thrills in the picture. Running through
it all is a fascinating romance in
which one pretty girl holds a whole
corps of marines to heel.
Barbara Stanwyck’s latest starring
picture, "The Woman in Red,” the
attraction at Pinehurst Wednesday,
February 13th, matinee and night, is
based on Wallace Irwin’s best selling
novel, "North Shore,’ ’and is filled
with thrills and intensely dynamic
situations as well as a glowing ro
mance. A Mciety hot'se ahow, staged
at the famWs Los Angeles Break
fast Club, aod with some of the fin
est and bluest blooded horses of the
West Coast taking: part, adds to the
interest of the production. There also
are exciting polo matches in which
Gene Raymond, Miss Stanwyck's ro
mantic lead, and one of tlie best
horsemen In Hollywood, takes active
part. This is the first time Miss
Stanwyck and Raymond have been
caat together and the couple are said
to make an ideal pair of screen lov
ers. Genevieve Tobin has the role of
a wealthy but vixenish society wo
man, Miss Stanwyck’s rival for the
love of Raymond.
Drama, comedy and romance are
the essentials of the production, ‘‘One
More Spring," the attraction at Pine
hurst, Friday, February 15th, mati
nee and night, which once again
unites the popular stars of ‘‘Paddy
the Next Best Thing,” and “Daddy
Long Legs,” Warner Baxter and Jan
et Gaynor. Fundamentally the ele
ments of the story are those that hit
right home to practically everybody.
It is a yarn of today, told in a de
lightful and somewhat *ronic strain
with vivid contrasting comedy and ap
pealing romance, a note of human
ness being continually evident in
every phase of the picture’s enter
tainment. Baxter and Miss Gaynor
are ably supported.
At Southern Pines
"The Winning Ticket,” the attrac
tion at the Southern Pines Theatre
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Febru
ary 11, 12, 13th with a Tuesday mat
inee, deals with the recent craze for
sweepstake lotteries, and is made for
laughs and a touch of homely senti
ment. With down-to-earth comedy
that borders on the nonsensical and
a light romance accompanying, "The
Winning Ticket” is the story of an
Italian barber and his family. Holder
of a ticket that wins one of the cap
ital prizes in the Grand National
Sweepstakes, it is packed with po
tential fun in action, dialogue, gags
and situations. Leo Carrillo is starred j
as the barber and in a character sim
ilar to that which was his in the-
stage play, “Lambardi, Ltd.” In sup
port will be seen Louise Fazenda, Ted
Healy, Irene Hervey and James Elli
son.
The attraction at Southern Pines
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
February 14, 15, 16, with a Satur
day matinee, is a return engagement
of the long awaited production, ‘‘The
Lives of a Bengal Lancer,” adapted
from the famous novel of the same
name. Here is flavorous, human en
tertainment, gallantly and glamorous
ly told, fashioned of British fron
tier courage and spanning the ele
ments of laughter, spectacle, melo
drama, beauty and tender heart in
terest. As replacements to the Ben
gal Lancers, in Ihdia, assigned to
Captain Gary Cooper, come Franchot
Tone, experienced Lieutenant and
Richard Cromwell, fresh from Sand
hurst, England’s (West Point. The
situation of Cromwell, as the some of
Sir Guy Standing, Colonel in com
mand, but with no favors aakcd,
flings Cooper, Tone and Cromwell to
gether in a soldierly comaraderle, a
relationship fraught with rare feel
ing and high comedy. The supporting
cast includes MOnte Blue, Kathleen
Burke, Lumsden Hare and others.
