County Officers
Are Sworn In
GASTONIA, Dec. 4.—Five Gas
ton county officers elected or re
elected in the November 7 elec
tion took the oath of office today
and began serving their new terms
Special ceremonies which had
been planned for a public instal
lation of these officers were can
elled when it was learned that
Superior Court Judge Allen H.
Gwynn of Reidsville, who was to
install them, would not lie present
here until Tuesday, Originially' it
was planned, when this informa
tion came, to postpone the cere
monies until Tuesday. But it was
learned upon investigation of the
election law that the officials had
to take the oath and begin their
new duties today in order to make
their actions in office legal.
Consequently the county offi
cers were sworn today by local
officials without ceremony. They
are Superior Court Clerk Paul E.
Monroe, filling out an unexpired
two years, and Register of Deeds
Howard Thompson, and County
Commissioners R. L. Stowe, M.
Fred Ormand and Roy Eaker, all
starting new four-year terms.

in the morning. All jurors, liti
gants, witnesses, attorneys, and
court officers are asked to be
present in the superior courtroom
at that time. Tomorrow’s initial
court session is expected to be
taken up principally with trial of

Bus Accident
Was Unavoidable
Says Prof. Helton
The bus accident which occur
red near Ti-yon high school last
week was altogether unavoidable,
declared S. H. Helton, principal
of the school, and was caused by
the shoulder of the road caving
in, he said, when the two drivers
who were meeting each other pull
ed over with a wide margin to
avoid hitting each other.
“The two drivers, Norman Ki
ser, son of Clay 'Kiser, and Bain
Kiser, son of Fate Kiser, were
two of the most dependable driv
ers we had,” said Mr. Helton. “No
blame attaches to them, They
were meeting, going in opposite
directions,” he said.
The accident happened about a
half mile north of Tryon school
on the short stretch of soil road
connecting the Tryon highway
with the Dallas-Cherry ville load
known as No. 277. It was near the
home of Walter Ford. Robert
Rutledge, in charge of the main
tenance of the school buses, who
was on the scene a few minutes
after it happened, declared that
the accident was unavoidable.
