WBIGHT MAKES STATEMENT In an article appearing In last week’s News-Joamal it was stated that a hearing would be held Tuesday on the beer election, also that this hearing was the result of a petition made to the court to have the election not held. This petition was read by the editor of the News-Journal and bore the signatures of W. O. Wright, J. C. Wright and J. A. Farmer. As a result of the appearance of this article, J. C. Wright has written the following letter to the editor of The News-Journal. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS-JOURNAL AND TO THE PEOPLE OF HOKE COUNTY. There has arisen some mis understanding as to my position in the controversy about the sale of wine and beer in Hoke County and I wish to take this method in trying to state my correct position in the matter. I have not and do not in tend to sign any petition to keep the voiters of Hoke County from voting on the subject in controversy or any other matter that they may desire to vote. Personally, I do not approve of Wine or beer, but think that the people of Hoke County should have the say as to what should be sold In Hoke CMmty. J. Crawford Wright Addle Mae ■ Kershaw, color^ woman pf the Sanatorium, Was found ^ot guilty by the Jury on a charge of stealing money. Levi Allen, whita of Little River, who was charged in two cases of assault with a deadly weapon, gun and stick, on S. H Coe pleaded nolo contendere. He was sentenced by the court to 6 months on the roads on one, charge. In the other he was sen tenced to two years on the roads suspended on the condition of good behavior for 5 years. He was told by the judge that he would serve the 2 years for any offense. James Leach, colored man who broke into the home of Mrs. Julian Johnson, was charged with breaking and entering. He was found guilty and sentenced to two yeare on the roads. The Army will probably pick him up after this as he is a deserter. Walter Lee McKinnon, colored, charged •with assault with a dead ly weapon was found guilty by the jury. Judgement had not been passed as the paper went to press. One day of the court was taken up with the- beer and wine petition a^ing for a restraining «d«r to step ttie election Saturday. This was denied by the judge.

He made inquiries of the personnel in there, and then got in touch with officers, and a vigor ous search was started to locate the car. About an hopr later Mrs. Mitchell Epstein walked into the same store and asked if they’c. seen anybody looking for a car. She said that two hours before when she went out of the Ladies Shop she got into this car that W21S parked there; that her car key fitt^ perfectly so she drove away making a social visit scme- where and didn’t realize until she got home that she had somebody else’s car.

The building has been con siderably enlarged, and the new machinery is being installed unaer the supervision of factoty trained men from Continental Gin Com- pamy. A new cotton house has also been added, bringing the storage capacity up to 92 bales. Of imuch interest in the new machinery are the Unt cleaners. Unt cleaneM are said to be the best development of gin engineers to date for cleaning Unt cottm— cotton* after it has been ginned. TQiere are very few lint-cleaner equipped'gins east of the Mississi ppi, and only two other such equipped gins in North Casblina, both of which are in the western part of the State. The two driers are heated by two oil fired furnaces. One drier is a tower type and the other a conveyor-distributor type, thus the advantages of two different drying methods are afforded.
