SUI1 IS FILED
Father of Ormond Sue
For $150,000; Sum
mons Issued To Rich
mond County.
LARGE LEGAL ARRAY
Suit for $150,000 against W. B.
Cole, rich Rockingham mill owner
and killer of W. W. Ormond, ex
serviceman and former sweetheart
of Cole’s daughter, was begun Sat
urday in the Wake county Super
ior Court, by Rev. A. L. Ormond,
of Nashville, father and adminis
trator of the slain youth.
Cole was acquitted of the murder
of Ormond by a Union county jury
in the Richmond county Superior
court three weeks ago. Cole plead
insanity and self defense but the
jurors admitted that they free him
because they believed Ormond
slandered Cole’s daughter. They
declared that they would have done
what Cole did. Two days after the
verict Cole was set fre efollowing
an insanity hearing before Judge
T. 13. Finley, who tried the case, in
North Wilkesboro.
Cole has left the State to take
an indefinite rest in Arkansas,
whree relatives of his wife live.
Summons in the ease were is
sued to Richmond county and is
returnable November 12. but if
service on Cole cannot be secured
there, the plaintiff is expected to
proceed by publication and attach
ment.
Young Ormond’s father r< ks
$75,000 compensatory damages and
$75,000 punitive damages for the
alleged wrongful death.
Rev. Mr. Ormond qualified on
September 3, as administrator to
his son’s -estate in Wake county,
where young Ormond lived. Young
Ormond left an estate of around
$2,000 made up of insurance. The
suit is brought in this county as
the home county of the dead man.
The suit is brought by Douglass
and Douglass of Raleigh; Larry
Moore, of New Bern; W. R. Jones,
of Rockingham; and Harold Cooley,
of Nashville; all of whom appear
ed for the prosecution in the crim
inal action; and also by R. N.
Simms, of Raleigh. A bond of $200
to Cole for costs is signed by Rev.
A. L- Ormond as administrator, and
his son.
The comppiaint sets iuhu me
facts regarding the killing on the
main streets of Rockingham on
August 15, alleging that Cole
“stealthily crept up behind him
(Ormond) and wantonly, wickedly,
cruelly and with malice afore
thought, assassinated plaintiff’s
intestate by firing three bullets
into his body ”
With regard to the alleged “slan
der letter” which Ormond wrote
saying that he had lived as man
and wife with Miss Elizabeth
Cole for more than a year, the
complaint says as follows:
“That the defendant falsely pre
tended and claimed that he killed
the plaintiff’s intestate because, as
he alleged, the plaintiff's intestate
had, in February, 1025, and more
than six months prior to said kill
ing written to the defendant an
alleged letter and it was claimed
by the defendant that in the al
leged letter, the plaintiff's intes
tate had slandered the defendant s
daughter, but the plaintiff avers
on information and belief that the
defendant killed a’nd murdered his
intestate to prevent his marriage
to the defendant’s daughter, or for
some other reason growing out
of the defendant’s anger, hatred,
malice and ill-will towards the de
ceased, and his premeditated and
deliberate purpose and this plain
tiff alleges that for whatever rea
son, the defendant’s said action
was without justification or ex
cuse.”—News & Observer.

PRESENTS HERALD WITH
FINE SWEET POTATOES
We were reminded last week
when Mr. A. E. Peedin of Pine
Level, Route 1, presented The
Herald with a half bushel of fine
sweet potatoes, of “ye old times”
when it was the custom for the
editor of the village paper to re
ceive various kinds of produce from
turnip's to chikens and eggs as legal
tenure for service rendered. In
this instance Mr. Peedin made the
gift purely in the spirit of good
will, which we greatly appreciate.
!The potatoes were of four varie
ties, Porto Rico, Nancy Hall, Yel
low Bahama, and “Negro Choker.”
Mr. Peedin had about half an acre
in potatoes from which he h;p
dug and banked up about 200
bushels- All that Mr. Peedin now
needs is a good ’possum year to
round out what many consider a
j most delectable menu for the win
ter season.

Johnston Baptist
Meeting Is Held at The
Thanksgiving Church
Near Selma.
The Johnston Baptists met in
their annual association at Thanks
giving church Wednesday and
Thursday of last week. The attend
ance was large, beyond the capac
ity of the church to accommodate,
and the program was full and of
unusual interest. Prominent visi
tors on the program included Dr.
C’has. K. Maddry, state correspond
ing secretary of the denomination,
Mr. Gilbert T. Stephenson, of Ral
eigh, Dr. B. W. Spilman, noted as
a Sunday school specialist. Dr.
Bryan, representing Wake Forest
college, Mr. Gardner, pastor of the
Orphanage church at Thomasville,
and Messrs. Walter M. Gilmore and
Perry Morgan, of Raleigh. Rf II.
Gower of Clayton, was ^o-elected
moderator of the body, with S. L.
Morgan of Smithfield, as clerk, who
also was continued as chairman of
the executive committee. Mr. John
A. Smith of Four Oaksvwap re
elected treasure? of the association.
The body will meet next year with
Baptist Center church, the time of
meeting being changed to the first
week in November in order to
avoid the conflict with, the John
ston county fair amt. the Rakf.gh
association, both of which meet
the last week in October.
The step of outstanding import
ance taken by the association was
the'decision to employ Miss Gladys
II. Beck for all her time as )s
trained specialist in the field of
Sunday school and B. ^ • P. IT.
work among the 47 churches of
the association, and to secure a
specialist also for half her time
in developing the work of the Wo
man’s Missionary Union. The Sun
day school board pays half the
salary of the former, and it is un
derstood that half the salary of the
other worker will come from an
other fund of the denomination.
Reports from the churches in-1
dicated that the past year has been
the most remarkable in the his
tory of this body for the grea’t
number of conversions and addi
tions to the churches, the number
of baptisms reported being ap \
proximately 650, one rural pastor
reporting 138. The body now num
bers considerably more than 6,000.

TAG DRIVE TOG
Opportunity Given For
Every Citizen of Johns
ton County To Help
Cause.
SCHOOLS TO HELP
At least one phase of the hos
pital drive to raise the necessary
funds to complete the new hospit
al, which will be ready for occu-<
paney by Janaury i, is well under
way. The sale of hospital tags,
whit!| offers an opportunity to
fricpds of the hospital movement
to help the cause, began in this
city Saturday, October 21 Tags
were put on sale on the streets
anti in spite of the rainy weather
a goodly amount was turned into
the treasury. The sale of tags
was continued during fair week at
the fair grounds, and while the re
sult was not what it should have
been, the committee is not dis
couraged.
Mr. W. I). Avera, the originator
of the tag idea, is placing tags as
fas'^ as possible in the various
towns and schools of the county,
and he expects when the drive is
completed that practically every
man, woman and child will have
had an opportunity to contribute
to the Johnston County Hospital
fund.
The negro rural supervisor, Mrs.
Laura J. A. King, will have charge
of the tag sales among the col
ored people and the amount raised
by them will be used for equipping
a negro ward in the hospital
At a meeting of the hospital
committee some time ago. it was
stated that about $20,000 was
n«-*^d to, complete the drive. Ki
wanians at a recent meeting sub
scribed $1,700 of this, and solic
itors were named to further sup
plement the subscription. Johnston
county is a prosperous eoulnty.
Johnston county needs a hospital.
Johnston county, it is believed,
will not let a debt hang over the,1
new hospii at buildin/r but will
come up with the amount needed

who grew the prettiest, flowers and
kept the cleanest premises.
The evening’s entertainment

most ludicrous. Four boys were

him a closij second. They wer ■ giv
en appropriate prizes.
Several musical selections were
given by Mr. Oscar Creech with
mandolin and Mr. Wiley Guiee

llightful features.
Mr. Gordon Whitaker, in charge
of the stunts, announced that
Prince Dulisky who was slated to
give a “mind reading” entertain
ment', had wired that it would be
impossible for him to reach Selma
in time, and suggested that Mr.
Matt Ransom Wall he asked to
substitute which he did, to the sat
isfaction and breathless amazement
of all. The eighteen questions ask
ed were all read and answered.
At this juncture, Mr. Brietz in
vited the prize winners in the con

early spring to come on the stage.
They were Mrs. W. J. Hunt, first ]

Biggs, third on flowers. On the j
tidiest premises. Mrs. Walter Eas
on, first; Mrs. J. M. Adcock, sec
ond; and Mrs, J. V. Turner, third.

the stage, Mrs. T. M. Benoy, Mrs. I
W. T. Woodard and Mrs. W. H.
Poole, Jr., along with Rev. A. M.
Mitchell, pastor of Selma Presby
terian church. Rev. Mr. Mitchell
was asked to make the presenta
tion speeches. First prizes were
§10 each in gold; second prizes each
$5.00 in gold-and $1.00 bill; third,
four crisp one dollar bills each.
Forty dollars in all.
Rev. Mr. Mitchell assured the
winners that the material reward
was well worth while, but that
they had won a finer thing still
in the approbation of their neigh
bors and friends, and the pleas
ure and -joy that neat and beaur
t’lful homes would bring to them.
Mr. Brietz said that the giving
of the prizes had been a great,
pleasure to him but the contests
had been so close and the judging
hard to do that he wanted to read
a list of names deserving honorable
mention: Mesdames W. G. Hunt,
O. E. Edwards, E. M. Griffin, H.
M. Moore, W. K. Beddingfield, W.
T. Daughtry, P. C. Pierce, J. J.
