Nicholson Held For
Murder 4 Years Ago
Arrested in Missouri, Must Face
Trial on 1st D^ree
Charge Here
John Nicholson, who last week was
brought back from a transient camp
in Missouri to face a first degree
murder charge as the result of the
alleged slaying of Ira Little four
years ago, was on Saturday In Re
corder’s Court bound to Superior
Court under bond of $5,000. The
court at first considered requiring a
$10,000 bond, but decided upon the
smaller amount. Nicholson entered a
plea of not g-uilty.
According to the evidence brought
out at the hearing, Nicholson, after
having been warned by Little to stay
off his premises, went to a house on
Little’s place. Little joined him, it Is
said, and a fight ensued in which Lit
tle was fatally stabbed with a knife.
Both men resided in the White Hill
section.
James F. Goodwin, white of High
Point and said to be an escaped con
vict, was placed under $500 bond to
await trial in Superior Court on a
charge of the larceny of a Ford V-8
coach, the property of Paul Phillips.

crease in teachers’ salaries.
A special committee on Emergen
cy in Education with W. P. Morton,
chairman, and R. L. Chandler, secre
tary, submitted the following report,
which was adopted by the club.
Seven Point Prognim
1. That any school district as now
constituted in the state be given the
right to vote taxes to supplement
County and State standards, irrespec
tive of other districts of the county.
2. That the eight months state-
w’ide, state-supported school term
should be continued as a minimum on
which to build an adequate school
system.
3. That teachers’ salaries be in
creased at least 25 per cent and that
the teacher load not be increased un
der any circumstance, and that no
school district lose any teachers as
a result of decreased attendance caus
ed from contagious diseases or other
providential hindrances.
4. That teachers be given as many
days sick leave w’ith pay as are given
other state employees.
5. That all teachers should come
under the provisions of the Work
men’s Compensation Act or any
amendments thereto.
6. That the transportation facili
ties for school children be ihiproved,
that bus drivers under the age of 17
be prohibited, and that the pay of
bus drivers be not less than $15.00 per
month.
7. That the county have the right
to provide a truant officer. That we
most heartily endorse the $22,000,000
program recommended by the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction.

this report be sent to Moore’s repre
