THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1936 Democrats Had A Gala Time During National Meeting By J. W. Reed, Jr., Hotel Normandie Headquarters, Written special for The Mountaineer. Haywood Folks Win Watches Philadelphia, Pa., June 29, 1936. Pandemonium really broke loose in Philadelphia during this last week, but I think the city deserves a great deal of credit for the way that it handled things. I spoke to quite a number of the delegutes who said that they had never seen such hospitality nor had they seen a convention hand led so well. The city turned over the entire police force and park guard for the entertainment and protection of the visitors, and they really did them selves proud. It was amusing to see a hardshell, Republican city like Phil adelphia, extend itself so much for the heretofore hated Democrats. Every where that any of the digni taries of the party went they had a police escort with sirens wide open. It finally became such a laugh the way the cops would take these special cara around that the story got around that one dour-faced Republican would aay every time he heard a police or fiif siren that it was only Farley going to get a light for his cigar. There was plenty of excitement all during the convention, but Thursday night was the greatest speciaeii; I have ever seen. With some Irieinis, I went to Fairmont Park to .-ee the Military Parade and Mardi Gias. Ar rangements had been made for hand ling a big crowd uf people, !u;. no ene expected the mob that showed up. The papers here estimated that there were about 000,000 people there and I don't doubt it at all. I have never eeen anything like it in my lii'e. The crowd got absolutely out of hand, and nothing could be done with them at all. The police tried to move them back and disperse them with hones, but the crowd in the back was packed in so tight that they couldn't move, (tI.

One officer on a motor cycle was thrown off, and his ma chine ran wild through the crowd in juring about twenty of them. It was at this point that I left, .and glaJ to pet away. It was on this same Thursday night that the group of South Philadelphia hoodlums unfurled the banner of Al Smith in Convention Hall. I missed that, but according to reports from an onlooker, it didn't take lone; to beat them up and throw them out f the hall. It was a pleasure to have Senator Reynolds staying in the hotel, and he did a lot of good for North Caiolina in dispensing thousands of pieces of TIE w'1Lp CAT .CREEK CASE literature on me siaie irom n s cmce that he maintained here. He also brought in a lot. of people from the state. The senator al.- arranged for a purebred Chickasaw Indian princess from Ardmore, Oklahoma, t.) make her headquarters here and to sing for the convention. Her name is Lushanya Mobley, and she certainly is pretty, I had hoped that some Waynesville people would have been here, but ap parently none of them came. I re ceived a report that Roy Francis was to be here, and I Went down to the North Carolina headquarters, but could not find him. him l v Mr. Leuthcrwood. Mr. Krarnloit works ot champion r due company, and .lack Ijeather rs of the Pure Oil station in Waynesville just A AS HE SEES THE HUMAN SIDE 0T LIFE Hospital News 'Squire Woolgather stood on the court house steps, surrounded by half a dozen witnesses in the "awful im portant case that's a-goin' to b heerd purty soon." "Ye see, fellers, it's like this," he said, "I didn't want to set on the case, caze I am jist the leat bit a-kin to the prosecutin' witness . . . o'course I could a-give jestice al right, but I thought it would look better to jist remand it before anoth er magistrate, so I sent it before 'Squire Soakitt." Mrs. Creek, Hester Ledford, of Spring medical case is improving. The condition of Wood row Rowland, of Clyde, operative case, is improving. Mrs. Katherine Reagan, of Clyde, operative case is improving. The condition of Mrs, Bessie Green, of Clyde, is good following an operation. Mrs. Kennon Smathers, of Canton, is rapidly improving after an operation. Mrs. Fred Gaddis much improved. medical case is Mies Myrtle Kuykendall. of Canton, is resting well following an operation. Mr. Hance Palmer, of Balsam, -who is suffering from injuries in a wreck, is fairly comfortable. Miss Erous Davis, of Clyde, is bet ter following an operation. Mr. Dock Mills, medical case, re mains about the same. At this time Constable Short was seen coming toward the coilit house with the defendant. The constable carried a stick, and walked with nn air of importance. "Here they come now," .said 'Sqite Woolgather, as he pulled out his big watch and holding it in both hands, looked closely. "Only ten miuites by my time and she don't varv," said he. "Do you reckon they'll ax ye to set on the case with this here town mag istrate1' asked some one in the Wild Cat creek crowd. "Don't "hardly think so," Die re replied. "Ye see the defendant got Lawyer Slick to defend Mm, so I un derstand, an' Lawyer Slick never has liked me much hot since the time I ruled a-gin 'im in that truspassin' case. "Well, thar's no love lost," he continued, smiling. ing to it that each one kissed "The Book," 'Squire Woolgather made his way up to the judge's stand. The prosecuting witness was calk1 Judge Soakitt asked again the name of the wittness, and prepared his paper to take notes. Seeing this 'Squire Woolgather was not to be out done . . . he got an old envelope out his pocket, and with a piece of penny pencil, began to "make marks," as the Town Wag put it, on the back of the envelpoe. "If your Honor pleases, I'de like to see the warrant again," requested Lawyer Slick. As the lawyer read the warrant to himself a smile spreai over hie face . . . once he chuckled as he looked up at 'Squire Soakitt, who also smile slyly. And, to be sure this action was not lost on old 'Squire Woolgather. Mr. Robert P. Hall is improving fol lowing an operation. . Mr! Russell Fowler is resting well after undergoing an operation. Mr. Ellwood Howell, of Canton, is improving following an operation. Mrs. Stewart McCraclcen, of Lei tester, is better following an operation. The condition of Mrs. Jim Garrett, operative case, is good. Mr. Carroll Bell proved. is somewhat in DISCHARGED Miss Edith RusselL Mrs. Millard Clark. Mrs. Racheal Mann. Miss Rosalie James. They gathered in "Judge" Soakitt's office whore the room was already filled to overflowing, mostly by peo ple men, women and children, from Wild Cat creek. They, sat in the windows, stood in the corners and crowded in the doorway. Constable Short had not realised until now that they were "scrougin' too much," as he put it, so with a wave of his big stick, he loudly ordered the crowd to "give back." "Judge" Soakitt, "Squire Woolgath er and Constable Short conferred to gether for a few minutes iii low tones, after which Soakitt announced that the court was ready. "If jtur Honor Meases." beean Lawyer Fleesum, "I represent the prosecuting witness, and we're not hardy ready yet. I want to speak to my client on the outside a minute, if the court pleases," and he signaled his client to follow. "Mr. Fleesum wants to git hie $5.00 first," said the Town Guy, "and I don't blame i'm." Soon Fleesum and his client return ed, both lawyers announced their readiness, and "Judge" Soakitt rapped for order. As the long string of witnesses were being sworn, Constable Soott see- "Who wrote this warrant?" asked the attorney. "Squire Woolgather here, I reckon," Teplied the presiding magistrate. "Well, sir, 1 move that this case be dismissed," continued Slick. base my motion on the way this war rant is drawn if you would call it a warrant. Your Honor, please, would like to read it. In the first place, the date of the alleged assault is not given, neither is the place mentioned. Listen here, your Honor what it says " "That I John Dicky did git tite an' disturb the ; Peece an I ublick wur ship of Wild Cat Cr., an' did like- wize Assault I Bus with a dedly weppon, to wit, a 5 lb. Rock." Misg Edith Robinson. Mr. L. B. Bost. Mrs. Clifford Stamey. Mr. Charlie CaldwelL Mr. A. A. Arlington. Mr. Carl McElreath. Mr. J. R. Wells. BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. Lester Fore, of Way nesville, Route 1, announce the birth of a daughter on Je the 25th. Now, I understood they were going to try this defendant here for being drunk. Well, druhkness isn t charged in the warrant . . . it says something about the defendant being 'tite," and that could mean that he is merely stingy or close-fieted. Now your Honor knows that a man can be tight and not have a drop of liquor in him." 'Squire Woolgather could stand it no longer "If your Honor pleases, I wrote that warrant-an'. I'm not afeerd to say so . . . . Well Constable Short railly wrote it. I worded it." "Uh-huh! thought it sounded like some backwoods magistrate," replied Lawyer Slick. . Here Judge Soakitt had to rap for order. "And my second contention is this, your Honer, there's no indictment against my cljent for having assaulted anybody. It says that he 'did like- wize don t know what he means by that likewize 'did likewize Assault '1 Bus' Bus who? youij Honor " : "Bus Mason's who I meant, if the Mason part's not in thar ... he's the man we're tryin', aint be?" in terrupted 'Squire Woolgather. Lawyer Fleesum arose "If your Honor pleases," said he, "I object that is all out of order." "Will the court please see that I'm not interruped again," said Slick as he proceeded to argue his motion. "Besides, you can't tell by reading the warrant whether it's 1 Bus or 7 Busses that my client is charged with assaulting . . . it really looks more like a 7 than a 1. So, in the first place this man is charged with being Special Fourth Of July Program Set For High Valley The residents of Crueo and New College will have a special program for the Fourth of July at High Valley Camp, near Cruso.

'tite," stingy I. reckon, and in' the second place with "likewise assaulting 7 Busses.. Now your Honor, I re new my motion." After hearing from Lawyer Flee sum, 'Squire Soakitt allowed the mo tion of Slick, and ordered that a new warrant be drawn, but that the de fendant be held, and set the case for the following Saturday.
