§2.00 PER YEAR
Sanity Trial
Of Hickman
In Progress
Superior Judge J. J. Tradueco
Has Been Appointed to
Preside Over Hearing of
Confessed Slayer of Marion
Parker
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.— (AP)
—Superior Judge J. J. Tradueco,
prominent veteran jurist of Cali
fornia, tonight was appointed to
preside over the sanity trial of
William E. Hickman, kidnapper and
slayer of Marian Parker.
The decision was announced a
few hours after Superior Judge
Carlos Hardy, whom the defense
attorneys accused of bias and pre
judice in the case, had removed
himself “in the interest of jus
tice and the speedy hearing of the
case."
Judge Tradueco, who comes from
Mariposa county, has been a Cal
ifornia jurist for 30 years. For
several months he has beon acting !
j. as a relief judge in Los Angeles |
■county courts.
HARDY REMOVES HIMSELF
AS HICKMAN CASE JUDGE
HALL OF JUSTICE, Los Ange- i
les, Jan. 25.— (AP)—Swift and un- |
expected moves that ended in the I
defense scoring a prime victory, j
that of obtaining a new judge by j
charging bias and prejudice to the '
jurist assigned to the case, marked j
the opening day of the sanity trial j
of William E. Hickman, kidnap
per and slayer of 12-year-old Mar-1
ian Parker. j
Superior Judge Carlo.4- "Hardy
filed an affidavit consehtir.e “in the '
interest of justice and the speedy ;
hearing of this trial” to remove j
himself from the case. The trial
judge is expected to be named by
a judicial council, headed by Wil
liam Waste, Chief Justice of the
California Supreme Court.
STRIKES SWIFTLY.
Striking swiftly after the trial j.
was called to order this morning, j'
r Jerome Walsh, Kansas City attor
ney defending Hickman, entered i
an exception to Judge Hardy. The J
defense charged bias and prejudice P
on three separate grounds and the
court denied that such were true. 1
Forty minutes after the trial open- j*
ed adjournment was taken until j1
afternoon to give the petition more
consideration.
Alter an nour s comerence witn
Superior Court Judge Victor Me- {
Lucas, Judge Hardy decided to file }
a counter affidavit. In this, al- ‘
though denying the harboring of.
any bias or prejudice, Judge Hardy }
in effect disqualified himself from (
the trial. P
District Attorney Asa Keyes, ^
chief of the State’s attorneys, vig
orously opposed the court’s action, 1
and he urged the overruling of the 1
defense’s exception. Keves refused 1
the legal opportunity of conferring 1
•with the defense counsel to select S
a judge mutually acceptable, and 1
the procedure of naming Judge
Hardy’s successor went to the ju- I
dicial council, empowered by law 1
to so act in such a situation. i

Kiwanians Hear C. T. Mat

Club; Appoint Committee
To Consider Managerial
Form of Government
Kiwanian C. T. Matthews, of
Greensboro, a representative of the
Carolina Motor Club, made a very
interesting talk to the local Ki
.vanis club at its regular weekly
meeting yesterday. Kiwanian T. C.
doling in charge of the program
'or the day introduced Mr. Mat
;hews to the club.
The figures given by Mr. Mat
hews on the accident record of
North Carolina revealed an alarm
ng situation. Last year five hun
Ired people lost their lives in this
date through automobile accidents,
besides this number killed, there
vere hundreds who received minor
njuries, and there were twenty
hree hundred accidents in which
here were no fatalities.
Last Novmber there were three
lundred and thirty-nine accidents
eported. Sixty-nine were killed in
hese accidents. A review of these
ases snowed that forty-five of the
iccidents were caused by speeding
nd that practically all of the four ;
lundred and eighty-eight drivers,
nvolved in these accidents were ,
xperienced drivers who had been j
ehind the wheel for more than
, year. Mr. Matthews remarked ,
hat one of the interesting things
withered from the review of these
ases was the. fact that only thir
y-three of the more than four.
undred drivers were women.
The Carolina Motor Club is in- i
erested in establishing a State i
ighway Patrol System, which they i
elieve will greatly reduce the reck- !
css driving on the highways of the
date and make motor transporta
ion a safer thing for the people, i
his patrol system is in vogue in |
laryland and Pennsylvania and |
as proved a great success. The i
loney for the support and equip - |
lent of such a patrol could be rais- j
d from a fee of one dollar charg- j
d for every driver’s license. The
Ciwanians heard Mr. Matthews |
nth profit and interest.
Mrs. W. J. B. Orr and Miss
tuth Brooks furnished music for
he meeting which was very much
njoyed. A committee from the
lub was appointed to look into the
natter of fostering interest in a
nanagerial form of government j
or the county. Other civic clubs j
n the county have the same mat- ;
er under consideration.

rax Collector Is
\fter More Money
’alls on Tax Payers Who
Have Not Paid Not To
Make It Necessary To Levy
A Cost
Johnston county’s tax collectoi
has been keeping quiet. He ha<
been staying in his office and look
ing strictly after the matters per
taining to his job, getting thing
in readiness to write receipts for
the taxpapers when they shpuld
pay their tax; and since tnq books
have been turned over to him he
has been receiving tax funds ev
ery day. But after these days of
steady work, the tax collector has
a message for the taxpayers of
the county, and this is what he
has to say:
“To the taxpayers of Johnston
lounty: First, to you who have
paid your tax, we want to thank
you. Also we want to commend you
3n having done your duty. To you
>vho have not yet paid, we hope
y-ou are getting ready to pay soon.
We are here waiting and looking
’or you every day.
“The law regarding the collee
:ion of tax has been amended ro
hat it makes an early collection
lecessary. As your collector, it be
comes my duty to carry into ef
fect this law, and I am sure it will
>e your desire for me to do so, and
I that you will give me your hearty
cooperation in carrying this law
|into effect. We know from exper
ience that when the law is obeyed,
we have better times.
“Now' it is my aim and desire
I to give you all the benefit the law
will allow, but will suggest that
jyou make your arrangements to
xome and pay early. If you don t,
the law will force me to levy a
!cost and force a collection, which
1 hope will not be necessary.
I “The law makes tax due each
year on the first of October, so up
to the present time you have had
about four months in which to pay.
Many of the good citizens of this
county have paid their tax, and
they think it is none the less your
duty to pay yours, and they are
requesting me to see that everyone
pays soon. By so doing you save a
great deal in the amount of pen
alty and cost. Several thousand dol
lars in penalties and cost was paid
in this county last year. You, the
taxpayers, pay it. So come early
and avoid it—keep that penalty
and cost in your own pocket. When
you wait long to pay your tax, you
cause those in charge- of your coun
ty government to borrow a lot
of money to run the expenses un
til you do pay, thereby causing you
as taxpayers to pay lots of inter
est. Let us stop that by paying
early and thereby lower our tax
for the next year.
“W. F. GRIMES,
“Tax Collector for Johnston Co."
continued upon payment of cost.
An appeal was taken to Superior
court.

Makes Good Showing
-
Dr. Massey Makes Report of
dear’s Work to Health Hoard
—Shows Varied Activities
i The annua] report of Dr. C. C.
Massey, county health officer, was
the feature of the special meeting:
of the county Board of Health held
here recently. J. D. Underwood
presided over the meeting and
called for the report which Dr.
Massey read as follows:
* ‘‘Johnston county shared its part
with the state in the contagious i
diseases, which reached epidemic
proportions in places. Measles and
whooping cough were far more1
prevalent. The records in the local
health department show a total
of 678 cases of measles, whooping
cough, scarlet fever, typhoid fever,
smallpox, chicken pox, meningitis,
etc., and this figure represents only j]
a part of the cases actually occurr
ing, since a small percentage was
reported from the rural parts of |
the county.
“There were vaccinated against i
smallpox, 1721, typhoid fever, 8101,
and diphtheria, 928.
“The report shows much time
?pent in schools, 95 schools having j
aeen visited, with 2803 children
laving been examined and atten
tion called to ordinary defects, (
vith the correction of 424. Much i
jffort was made in the schools to
lorrect malnutrition.
i wo luoercuiosis clinics were
held during; the past year, one for
adults and one for children, con
ducted by a specialist from the
i State Sanatorium. In these clinics
many adults and children were ex
amined, resulting; in the discovery
of 24 incipient cases, a part of
|whom institutional treatment was
f provided while the others were
given proper instructions for home
j treatment.
I “Special examinations for mar
riage. 180, teachers certificated, 18,
children certificated for industry,
45.
“Sanitation, all hotels, cafes, and
restaurants were inspected and
properly rated, with the assistance
of a State inspector. The servants,
or food handlers were given a phy
sical examination as required by
law.
‘ “Visits to jail, 124, convict camp,
G8, county home, 84, with appro
priate treatment as the case re
quired, autopsies 5, conferences,
individual and group, 1930, car—

“Th,e earning by the department
was $2.90 for every dollar expend
ed, this calculation being made by
a plan laid down by the State
Board of Health.”
The report of Dr. Massey was
unanimously adopted and the year’s
work was commended.
The County Health Board is

SEVEN HUNDRED SEE BIG
HOG TURNED INTO PORK
W. T. Kirby of Kenly Practices “Living At
Home’’ During His Farmer’s Ca
reer of 46 Years.
Ho(f killing is always a great
event on the farm, but not many
hog killings create the interest
hog killings create the interest as
the one staged by W. Thompson
Kirby who lives on the outskirts of
Kenly, did when he killed his !i7i
pound Poland China last Tuesday.
Fully seven hundred persons were
01 hand to see the porker strung
ip. and according to Mr. Thomp
son's own statement, around ten
thousand have been to his house
luring the past two months,to see
he big hog. The fame of the hog
spread and people from seven dif
erent states have stopped by to
tee this tinest specimen! of swine
hat this section has seen.
The hog, which was a full-blood
id big-boned I olanri China, was
wenty-eight months old the day
before he- was killed. The weight
of the hog dressed was 924 pounds.
The liver and chitterlings tipped
the scales at fifty pounds.
Besides the big hog, Mr. Kirby
has killed about 700 pounds oft
pork, but this is not as much as
he usually kills. Last July he had
the misfortune to lose sixteen head
of hogs with the cholera.
\\ hile this is the biggest hog }
Mr. Kirby has ever raised, he rais- 1
ed one four years ago that was
of pretty good size, weighing 875 '
pounds gross and which dressed 1
gut 815 pounds. Mr. Kiiby attrib- i
utes the popularity of the porker i
just killed to the fact that he now i
lives right on Highway No. 22, s
whereas, four years ago he was ?

James to Raleigh Documents
Dating From Formation of
County to About 1800 For
Reconditioning
Col. Fred A. Olds, secretary of!
the State Historical Commission, I
spent two days here this week in
the interest of preserving some of
the old rcords of Johnston county.
Filed in the basement room of the
clerk of the court’s office in the
courthouse were numerous old ree-,
ord books and old documents, but
age was beginning to tell, and Col. ^
Olds selected those dating from,
the formation of Johnston county!'
until about 1800, and on Wednes-j
day they were placed on a truck ;
and under the personal care of
Col. Olds were taken to the Su
preme court building in Raleigh, :
where each record will be careful- 1
ly leconditioned as to binding and <
working up margins of pages 1
which have been worn. The old and 1
faded handwriting will be treated <
py a process that will render the 1
penmanship legible. This is done i
under the direction of the Histor- ]
ical Commission of which Col. ]
Olds is secretary. i
When the reconditioning is com- 1
pleted, all of the documents will t
re catalogued so that in a very (
few minutes, information may be 1
ocated. i
Col. Olds has just completed a »
umilar work in Craven county. In r
fact, the old records of practically !
ill of the counties now have been 1

Tree Nursery Near
Town Of Clayton
State Acquires Nine Acre
Tract Fronting on North
Carolina’s Main Street To
Further Reforestation
RALF.IGH, Jan. 2fi.—Acquisition
if a nine and a quarter acre tract
or a forest tree nursery by the
Jivision of Forestry of tile De
tainment of Conservation ami De
•elopmcnt on State Highway .No.
0 between Raleigh and Clayton
vhich was announced today, in
ures tile prosecution of a great I y
iroadonod program of leforestra
ion in North Carolina.
Tim new nursery site fronts di
ectly Oil the “main stret t” of
Jorth Carolina, being about one
tile west of ( layton. Improve
lents have already been started
nd will be completed within a very
hort time. These will consist of
house, slat structures, hods, and
tiler improvements.
With the acquisition of the new
tract, the plans of the department
are to increase materially the out
put of forest seedlings for planting
forest lands that have become so
denuded that there is no natural
jreproduction. It has been estimat
ed that there are approximately
14,000,000 acres of forest lands in
North Carolina not in use at pres
ent that can be made to produce a
! revenue by artificial reforestratio-n
and by adequate protection from
fire. The state has been working
on forest fire protection for some
years, and reforestration by means
iof nursery-grown seedlings had
been a part of the Forestry Divis
ion’s program for a shorter time,
i This year the output from the oil
nursery will be about 237,000 seed
lings, and next year it is planned
to increase this number to a half
a million in order to supply the
growing demand. Greater facili
ties from the production of forest
seedlings will make provisions for
building up the output to several
millions annually. In some states
where this method of reforestra
tion has been in vogue over a long
er period, the forest nurseries are
producing from twenty to thirty
millions of seedlings annually.
The new nursery’s location was
selected especially because of the
suitability of the land for tree cul- ,
ture- and -for the educational ad
vantages which its situation will
afford.—Raleigh Times.

tle Dorothy Mae. Though she had
only been with them for a short

picture of health until about two
weeks before her death when she
was taken with pneumonia.
The funeral was held at the
home by Dr. R. L. Shirley of Selma
in the midst of many relatives and
friends, after which the remains
were taken to the Oliver ceme

A precious jewel from us is gone.
Her baby prattle all is still.
But in our hearts we chrish yet
The sweet thought that Dorothy
