Assistant Jailor Hathaway
Gets Tip and Summon:
Sheriff and Other Officer:
| in Time To Prevent Get
Away
Tuesday evening about si>
o’clock, C. C. Hathaway, assistant
iailor, received a tip from the out
1 side of the jail that a jail deliver*
was being planned by prisoners
the time for the get-away having
been set for early Wednesday
morning. Mr. Hathaway immedi
ately summoned Sheriff Turley,
Jailor R. E. Holt and Deputy Sher
iff T. E. Talton, and a search of
the prisoners was made. Four
'lieces of pipe, parts of an iron
bedstead, were found. Investiga
tions also revealed that iron bars
over one of the windows in what
is known as the bull pen, had been
I prized loose and removed. A shirt
[had been hung* over the opening to
[conceal it. Sheets and blankets
had been tied together on which
to swing from the window to the
ground.
The men who were planning
their escape, according to the
jailor, were John Jernigan, in jail
for several offences including steal
ng cotton; James Faircloth and
jVillie Hughes, in jail on charge
rf drunkenness; J. L. Langston and
J. F. Franklinton, charged with
store breaking. These men were all
placed in solitary confinement.
There were about thirty prison
ers in jail on Tuesday.

SHOOTS GUN FOR FUN;
BARELY MISSES OFFICER
Johnston county officers had r»
thrilling adventure, to say the
least, Wednesday evening about 7
o’clock when they were carrying
an insane negro to th easylum at
Goldsboro. Deputies J. O. Elling
ton and T. E. Talton and C. C.
Hathaway, assistant jailor, were in
in automobile with the crazy ne
roh but the excitement was not
tired by their insane charge but
%Jk bullet which whizzed through
he car and came within about
right inches of T. E. Talton’s
lead. The shot was fired just as
:hey reached the overhead bridge
near Selma. They stopped the car,
and took into custody two boys
who weie on the roadside. A third
boy ran away. On their return
trip from Goldsboro, the officers
located the third boy. They were
found to be under age and, after
a severe reprimand and after re
porting the matter to their par
ents, they were turned loose by
the officers. The only excuse given
by the boys was that they were
shooting the pistol just to have
some fun.

Prominent Citizen
Kies At Clayton
Vick Austin Passes Away Af
ter Short Illness at Age of
70; Funeral Yesterday
1 CLAYTON, Dec. 1. — Vick
Austin, a prominent farmer of
Clayton township died yesterday
morning; at his residence near
Clayton after a brief illness. The
deceased had, however, been in
feeble health for some time. Mr.
Austin was 70 years old, having
been born in Johnston county in
October, 1857, the son of Elbert
and Kittic Barnes Austin. His
father was killed during the Civil
War during Mr. Austin's early
boyhood. He is survived by—Ms*
widow, four sons, Herbert, of Chi
cago, 111.;' Clifford, Ernest and
Ralph, all of Clayton; five daugh
ters, Mrs. Jesse Lamb, of Benson;
Mrs. Latta Harris, of Raleigh;
Mrs. Hubert Avery, Mrs. W. A.
Smith, Miss Veta Austin, ail of
Clayton; also two sisters, Mrs.
Dennis Gulley, and Mrs. Marceline
Rogers, of Clayton; two brothers,
Butler Austin, of Cary, and Wil
liam Austin, of Clayton.
The funeral was held this morn
ing at ten o’clock at Baptist Cen
ter church of which the deceased
was a member. The service was
conducted by Rev. R. F. Hall, pas
tor at Baptist Center, assisted by
Dr. Ira E. D. Andrews, pastor of
the Clayton Baptist church.
SWALLOWED A PIN
THREE YEARS AGO
“What would it do if I swallow
ed a pin,” little Georgia Belk ask
ed her parents one day three years
ago while she was busy dressing
and undressing her dolls.
“It might kill you,” she was told
“Why?”
“Well,” she said, “I might have
swallowed one for I had one in my
mouth and it’s gone."
After a lapse of three years the
pin was found in the child’s ap
pendix Saturday night when Dr.
Mahoney operated on her. Georgia
is now about eleven years old and
though very sick since the opera
tion she is expected to get well.
The pin had found its way into
the appendix and had grown up
around it a bulk about the size of
a lemon. Through all this the
point had worked out and was
piercing the interior walls of the
abdomen.
At the time when the child
swallowed the pin her parents were
alarmed and took her to a doc
tor. As she felt no pain it was
'concluded that she had not swal
lowed the pin at all and her moth
■er having found one on her pock
et, felt less uneasy about it. By
and by the incident of the pin was
forgotten. Some time ago the
child began to complain of pains
in her side at times and it would
soorv pass off. But they got worse
and she was brought to the hos
pital and the operation performed
Saturday night. The parents, Mr.
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Belk, now live
in North Monroe.—Monroe Jour

John Faison
Grand Jury Takes Action In
the Killing of Mrs. Elsie
Holt Snipes
Richmond, Nov. 28.—Among the
witnesses who testified before the
grand jury today, before an indict
ment of first degree murder was
returned against John Wesley Fai
son, charged with slaying Mrs. El
sie Holt Snipes, was Miss Bessie
Wright, a young woman who oc
cupied a flat just above that of
Mrs. Snipes.
Mrs. Snipes was a pretty and ac
complished musician, formerly of
Princeton N. C. She was killed in
her apartments, 3131 Hanover
j November IB. Faison is a former
secretary and tresaurer of the Her
mitage Country Club. He was in
the Snipes apartment when Mrs.
Snipes was killed.
To Prove Delay.
While the nature of the testi- i
mony Miss Wright gave before
the inquisitors was not disclosed, j
it is understood that the prosecu- !
tion hopes to establish by her the
time at which the fatal shot was
fired. In their investigation of the
case police asserted that they had
learned that Mrs. Snipes was shot
nearly one hour before Faison
rushed her to a hospital in an un
conscious condition.
Another witness examined by the
in quisitors today was Mason
Smith, prominent in local banking
circles, who is said to have been
one of the guests at the party
given by Mrs. Snipes in her apart
ment the night of the tragedy.
Dr. Robert Bybee, 'well known
I chiropracter of this city, was list
ed as a witness in the case but
was not called before the grand
; jury.
He was also at the party. Fai
| son’s trial was set for December
| 3. His defense is that Mrs. Snipes
committed suicide.
OFFERS PRIZE FOR
UNUSUAL CORN EAR
Raleigh, Nov. 28.—It is as hard
jto find an car of corn with the <
rows of grains in odd numbers as
it is to find a human being born
with an unusual number of fingers,
i “In fact so unusual is it to find
| such corn that'I will give a prize1
of $50 to the first farmer in North
Carolina who sends me in a normal
ear with the grains in an odd num
ber of rows,” says Dr. B. W. Wells,
head of the department of botany
at State College. “‘Any normal
ear of corn of any variety always
has it grains in an even number
of rows. If one does not believe
this, let him get some ears and
count the rows. After he has check
ed up a few thousand, he will be
come convinced.”
The reason for this, states Dr.
Wells, goea back to the young far.
When it is not as big as one’s fin
get anu uiuy u mass 01 grow
ing tissue, carefully tucked away
in the green shucks, one may see
a number of small ridges forming,
each of these ridges splits into
two parts to form two rows of
corn. This is an inherited habit.
The primary prominences develop
two spikelets with the two resul
tant grains all along the ear. This
is the secret of the whole matter,
declares the botanist.
The habit of developing these
even rows of grain is as fixed as
that habit in the. human species
I to bud five fingers on the primary
arm extension and: it is as easy to
find corn with an odd number of
grains as it is to find a human
(being with 9 or eleven fingers.
! Dr. Wells believes that farmers
(will find many other interesting
j facts about the crops which they
grow or the plants and trees on the
farm if they will observe some of
the habits of these plants. Some
of the information will of course
have no practical value in solving
| farm problems but the study is in
teresting and entertaining and
j adds greatly to one’s store of
| knowledge which may eventually
! be of service in the farming enter
' prise.

: Public Reception
At Ford Dealers
-*
! Young Motor Company Is
Showing Today and To
morrow Models of the New
| Line of Cars In Photo
graphs and Charts
; The Young Motor company, Ford
dealers, are holding a public re
jception today and tomorrow show
1 ing models of the new line of cars
; in photographs and charts.
After six months of “saying
i nothing but sawing wood-,” Henry !
i Ford today announced the speeifi- I
cations of the new Ford car which i
| succeeds his famous Model T. 1
; There are six models of the new
car. They are the phaeton, roads
ter, sport coupe, coupe, Tudor se
I dan and Fordor sedan.
1 Unusual speed and acceleration
are among the outstanding fea
tures of the new car. It is an
nounced as being- able to make 55
to 60 miles an hour with ease.
In recent tests it has made even
•inure wunouc aimcuity. vvnat is.
more important, it is stated that
when traveling at such speeds, it
holds the road easily, and with
comfort to driver and passengers. !
It is also stated with equal posi- !
tiveness, however, that it performs
in an equally spectacular manner
on bad roads. In its design, Mr.
Tord has held to his original idea
f a car which can meet*all con- i
ditions and types of roads.
Appreciating the constantly in
creasing importance of accelera- J
tion, the Ford Motor company has 1
given a great deal of study to this ’
feature of the new car. In high >
gear tests with two passengers in
a Tudor sedan it has shown an
acceleration of from five to 25 .
miles an hour in 8^2 seconds.
The new Ford car also intro
duces a new type of four-wheel
brakes. An exclusive Ford devel
opment, they are of the mechani
cal, shoe-expanding type, and are (
self-centering. The brake pedal and *
the hand brake each operates all ^
four brakes. It is stated that this .
is the most reliable and simplest *
type of four-wheel brake, and also *
the easiest to adjust, all adjust- *
ments being made from the out
side without removing any parts, j
An engine that is practically vi
brationless develops 40 horse
power at 2200 revolutions per min
ute. This low revolution speed in
ratio to the high horsepower is
illustrative of the unusual efficien
cy of the engine. Also, it means *
longer life, the lower engine speed
insuring* less wear on engine parts.
The low revolution speed is also a
substantial factor in lessening vi
bration. The bore is 3 7-8 inches,
stroke AM inches. The unusually .
large crankshaft, which is both
statically and dynamically balanc
ed, weighs 28 pounds. This bal
ancing, combined with the light
ness of aluminum alloy pistons,
further combine to reduce vibra
tion and increase riding and driv
ing comfort and safety.
In addition to freedom from vi
bration, it is announced that the
car is unusually quiet, a great deal
of attention having* been paid to
this feature by the Ford engineers.
In the engine, the timing gears
I which is much quieter than metal.
I The cams on the camshaft have
been so designed as to prevent
valve clicking.
The coachwork of the car is as
(distinctive as its performance.
There is a noticeable European
. 'touch in line and contour. It is not
(only designed for exterior beauty,
but has as well the interior room
iness, convenience and luxurious
appointments to be found in much
higher priced automobiles. On an
instrument board of satin-finished
nickel are mounted the speedom- '
eter, gasoline gauge, ammeter and
j ignition lock, with a dash light in
the center. The new military type
sun visor with crown roof and
round corners, are features of the
t closed models. Unusually narrow
I pillars and very wide doors and
iwindows give maximum vision.
) Nickeled radiator shell and head- j
. lamps further accentuate the ex
t terior attractiveness, while choices
!of four colors in pyroxylin finish
are offered.
t Simplicity in design has also
r been carried to the ignition. There

I ing was an address by Mrs. B. A.
Hocutt of Clayton who is chair
j man of the Thirteenth district of
the State Federation of Women1*

Mrs. Hocutt, in her charming
manner, clearly discussed the
ideals and aspirations for the
club work. She emphasized the im
portance of high ideals for every

for and reached, where possible, in
all departments of our work. Civics,
education American citizenship,
home, literature, art, music, health
I and public welfare. To have ideals
and to reach them we must aspire
and seek to attain something high

.strong wish and high desire and
implies as its object the striving
after that which is uplifting and
I high.

cutt, “for the Kenly Woman’s club
and all the clubs of the thirteenth
district is that we may carry on
worthily the great honor which is
ours, of having* our beloved Mrs.

tainly our very best is the least
we can do in appreciation of }iev

greatest amount of good.
Mrs. Hocutt emphasized the im
portance of preserving toward n
definite purpose in our club life,,
jto throw into our work such
strength of mind and muscle as
God has given us. She quoted from
Gladstone, these words: “In nil,
God’s creation, there is no place
for the idle man.” She challenged
the club women to have high as
pirations and ideals for the com
munity and not to be idlers.
