J $1.50 PER YEAR AMERICAN LEGION CONDEMNS OLIVE APPOINTMENT Robeson Post Adopts Resolu tion Censuring Clyde Hoey For Naming Him In a resolution adopted Thursday by the American Legion Post, of Rowland, Robeson county, the ap pointment of a World War veteran ss manager for campaign for office | was condemned. While his name was not mentioned in the resolution, it was understood that the resolution was aimed at Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, who has secured Hubert E. j Olive, of Lexington, former state i commander of the American Legion, as his campaign manager. The resolution said in part: “We, the Rowland post of the American Legion, do hereby go on record as condemning the action of any candidate or candidates, who, lucking worthy record of service in the army, navy, marine corps or other servise branch of our coun try in the war, now seeks to sup ply such deficiency by securing some member of the American Le gion to manage or assist in the management of such candidate’s campaign, and after securing the services of such legionnaire does ex ploit or attempt to exploit the ser vice record of such legionnaire, in an attempt to secure the confidence and support of the American Le gion for such candidate - and does thus attempt to indirectly place the legion in politics as the tool of such candidate. “We extend our sympaty to any member of the American Le gion, who so far forgets himself and the high purposes of the le gion as to assume the management of the political of any candidate and then allows such candidate to exploit or attempt to exploit the service record of such legionnaire in an attempt to se cure the confidence and support of the legion and thus indirectly place the American Legion in politics as the tool of such candidate.” jNEWS—;'j j --;-----BRIEFS ] Boy, 12, Kills Father Quitman, Ga., March 21.

Back row: Manager Finals Were Played On Lin colnton High School Court Last Friday Night The Iron Station girls and Triangle boys earned off honors in the fourth j annual elementary basketball tourna-1 ment reeled off on the Lincolnton j High School court last week. In the j boys’ finals, staged Thursday night, Triangle nosed out the highly favor ed Crouse quint in one of the hardest fought, most nervs-streininjy battles waged since the present system of hard-court elemiratkir has be n re sorted to in determining the cham pions of Lincoln County. After the dust and uncertainty had cleared at the close of the game Triangle was the victor by a 15-14 count. Iron Station, presenting one of the smoothest, fastest-clicking combina tions seen in local competition play, found the cleverly tutored Crouse girls easy in the last half of a fast match by a verdict of 35-21. The girls’ finals were played Friday night. The Crouse-Triangle tangle was leatured by the all-round passing and floor-work of the two teams, flanked with unusually close guarding. The defensive play of the two contesting teams was such as to inflict severe penalties on the contestants, with a total of 21 personal fouls being called on the various players—Tri angle led in committing fouls by 13 to 8. Helton, Black and Grice com bined to give Triangle its margin of victory by leading the scoring col umn. Heafner, Black and Same led the offensive play for Crouse, their contributions falling only one short of a tie. Saine and Avery did a neat piece of guarding for Crouse, while Hager and Sherrill were best on de fense for the winners. Iron Station’s celebrated trium virate of forwards, E. Ewing, Porter and Benfield, aided and abetted by the trio of stalwart guards, M. Schronce, M. Ewing and McClure, worked in near perfect unison during the final half of the girls’ exhibition to smother the best efforts the Crouse lassies were able to muster in their gallant stand for the county’s honors. The passing and accurate shooting.of the Iron Station offense was easily the outstanding feature of the fracas, while the handling of the ball by the winners’ guards was a thing of beauty. The latter fed the ball to their forwards with consistent regu larity, and held down the scoring threats of Crouse’s stellar forwards to a minimum. E. Ewing, with 17 (Continued on page two) :; C. M.

ED HESTER DIES IN ELECTRIC CHAIR FRIDAYMORNING Twice-Convicted Killier Joins Catholic Church In Cell; Goes to Death Quietly Raleigh, March 20.—Ed Hester, 19-year-old Gaston county twice-con victed killer, was electrocuted at State’s prison today. Hester died for the slaying of a lellow-prisoner, Paul Hunnicutt, at the Camp Polk prison farm last year while he was serving a term for the slaying of John C. Abernethy, of High Shoals, his brother-in-law. The execution marked the first time since the electric chair was installed in 1910 it had been used on successive days. Jake Johnson, negro convicted of criminal assault in Rockingham county, was elec trocuted Thursday. 164th To Die In Chair Hester was the 164th victim of the electric chair. He was first sen tenced to be asphyxiated but his crime was committed before the gas law became effective last July and he was re-sentenced to be elec trocuted. Yesterday Hester told Coroner L. M. Waring of Wake county and Warden H. H. Honeycutt he killed Hunnicutt without provocation while he was “mad.” He reiterated the story to newsmen this morn ing, denying his earlier statements he and Hunnicutt had trouble before the slaying. Entering the death chamber at 10:31 with Father McMillan of the Catholic Apostlate, Hester said he had told the truth about what happened and thanked Warden Honeycutt and the priest for their -kindnesses to him. At 10:34 the switch was thrown and current flowed two minutes and five seconds. A second shock of 55 seconds was given, being stopped as an electrode on Hester’s leg (Continued on page three) A ROOSEVELT HABIT The President wants a “housing program” this session, Senator Wag ner says, and is not particular what kind of a program it is.

NORTH BROOK HIGH SCHOOL HAS FINE TEAM Picked to Represent Lincoln County in Tournament For Fifth Consecutive Time The above pictured North Brook basketball team for the fifth con secutive time represented Lincoln county in the Charlotte News fifth annual Tournament of Champions meet that ended in Charlotte a few nights ago. The Lincoln entry made a splendid showing in the tournament, defeat ing the pre-tournament favored Falls ton team of Cleveland county, 37 to 28, in the opening round of play; lomped on the crack Celeste-Henkel quint of Iredell county in the second round, 33 to 19, but dropped out of the running in their semi-final match with Union high of Union county, 34 to 31 in a hotly contested game. The Union team then went on to bag the championship in the finals from Winnsboro, S. C., high, 25 to 17. The North Brook team, however, did win a title, licking the Rockwell high team, 30 to 23, in the consola tion runnersup title match. Block Smith, coach of Lincolnton high ath letics, is Lincoln county’s commis sioner for selecting a local represen tative in the annual tournament, and his appointment this year of the Ken neth Beam coached team for the fifth straight time was well received by sports fans all over the county. Much praise was accorded the North Brook team by Charlotte officials for their splendid conduct and sports manship exhibited in the mammoth cage extravaganza.
