H. L. Liner, formerly connected with

entire time in one of the most unique

This novelty has created sucb in

more workmen to increase the output
in order to meet the demands for the
products.
The novelties are made of six or
seven different woods, worked togeth-

pieces of these woods in all shapes
are fitted together by a special pro
cess and instead of painting the finish
ed products the different colored woods
furnish the contrasting colors. The
accuracy in which the many little
pieces tire fitted together require the
best of workmanship.
The greatest demand is for book
ends, small boxes, trays, bowls and
some checkerboards.
The past week, Mr. Liner received
a large order for candy boxes. Be

the rest pay rent.
Most of our people own their own

run a hotel.

A RETIRED BUSI
NESS MAN, PASSES
Former Vice President Of
Standard Oil Company
Resident of Waynesville
Sin(e Retiring
News of the death of Mr. Hampton
Gould Wescott, which occurred at his
home on Walnut Street early Sunday
morning .January 17, was received
with profound sorrow by friends in
Waynesville.
Mr. Wescott, a brother of Mrs.
Caroline deNeergard, has been a resi
dent of Waynesville for many years.
He came to this city following a
serious illness and has since lived here
with his sister in retirement.
Hampton Gould Wescott, member
of an old and prominent family of
New York, was born in Trenton, New
.Jersey, January 5, 1K07. He received
his education at the Episcopal School
in Philadelphia, from which school he
was graduated.- In early manhood he
bctlinic connected with the Standard
Oil Conupany, was later one of its
vice presidents, ami at the age of 32
was made president of the New York
branch of that company.
The funeral service was hold at the
home Wednesday afternoon at 1 :30
o'clock, the Rev!' Albert New officiat
ing, after which 'interment was made
at Greenhill Cemetery.

H. Bushnell, 1). A.' Baker, C. II.' Ray,
J. N. Shoolbred, E. Ii Camp and Dr.
Thomas Sti ingtield.
Out of town relatives and friends

SYLVA TAKES A
DOUBLEHEADER
FROM II. S. TEAMS
Visiting Cirls Win 16 to 21,
While Sylva Boys Take
Score of 29 to 19
Coaches Messer and Dills from Sylva
brought over two last, 'harmonious
basket ball teams Tuesday rn'ight to
meet the two local teams. Both Sylva
teams proved to be too much of a
problem for the lads and lassies of
Waynesville.
The visitors seemed to have the
ability to drop the ball in the basket
at will, even their long shots usually
found the goal. The local players
were unable to get together and miss,
ed many short shuts, especially the
boys.
The girl's game ended with the score
21 and If!, while the boys lost by a
heavier score of 2U to 10.
Reeves for the Waynesville girls
led the . onslaught and was credited
with 10 points, while Williams, Sylva
center was outstanding player for the
visitors. She was credited with i2 tal
lies, although she didn't play the last
quarter.
Reeves and Bramlett were outstand
ing for the local boys. Reeves seemed
to have the ability to place the ball
in the basket when ever the opportuni
ty arose but he insisted in giving his
teammates the ball which accounted
for a low score.
Reagan and Allman were steady
players for the Sylva aggregation and
made several beautiful and difficult
shots..
Coach Weatherby used few substi
tutes in either of the games.

EVIDENCE SHOWS
SUTTON THREAT
ENED L. SMITH'S
LIFE YEAR AGO'l
Smith's Mother Tells Of
Threats Made By David
Sutton
LARGE CROWDS AT
BOTH OF HEARINGS
David Sutton was bound over 4
to the February term of Super-
ior court, which convenes Febru
ary 8, late Wednesday, charged
with the murder of Lawrence i
Smith, 21, who was found shot
through the breast in the region J
of the heart on December 26, j
alter a nearing wlore Maffia-t
trate Frank Ferguson.'
Today s hearing was a con
tinuance of the first hearing set
for last Monday. A few of the
states' witnesses failed to ap
pear Monday and the hearing
was continued until Wednesday,
although a half dozen or more
witnesses testified Monday.
The evidence brought out so far in
the case reveals that Sutton made
threats of killing Smith. Sutton claims
that Smith committed suicide.
The greater part of the evidence
presented at Monday's hearing was
mostly technical and only Smith's
parents brought to light any threats
or statements made by Sutton against
their son, Lawerence. , l
Monday Mr. Smith testified that
Sutton told him a day or two after
the shooting that, he (Sutton) "would
give anything in the world if he and
Lawerence.. had not had those hard
words."
On the stand Wednesday, Mrs. Smith
testified that Sutton told her about
a year ago that he (Sutton) was going
to kill her son, Lawerence, if it took
him several years m do it.
When Sheriff J. A. Lowe and other
officers investigated the scene of tbe
shooting last December, they did not
make any arrests, as Sutton has pre-
sistently claimed that it was suicide,
and evidence then produced did not
warrant an arrest.
Detective J. J, O'Malley and deputy
sheriff Will Carver, began an investi
gation soon after the shooting and
about ten days ago arrested Sutton
and charged him with killing Law
rence Smith.
The state was represented by Doyle
Alley, in the absence of Solicitor John
M. Queen and (J rover Davis represent
ed David Sutton.
The court room was 'filled to capa
city for Monday's hearing, while the
crowd was a little smaller at Wednes
day's hearing.
