BLACK MOUNTAIN LEMONS This is no reference to any person in the vicinity, but rather to an unusual new orna ment for the home. Nancy Boone showed up at the polls last Saturday with the pictur ed lemon plant which caused considerable comment. The plant is about 18 inches tall with 24 small lemons spaced in the branches; the manu facturers also produce orange plants of the same size. The material is plastic; and don’t make the mistake I did and call it an “artificial” arrange ment. Florists say it should be called “permanent”. Nancy says much larger ones are made for offices and public buildings, and they are at tractive ornaments. They are for sale at Seawright’s Florist shop. CERAMIC FANS You now have an opportun ity to make ceramics of your own. With the opening of the newest shop in town by Dick Tarbert, Jr., many persons are stopping to observe the inter esting things going on in the Mar-Ric showroom. $1500 worth of moulds have been installed to produce the green articles which are to be finished by the worker according to his taste and imagination. For the beginner and for the per son who wishes to make some thing within a few hours, the prepared moulds are the answer. Once the articles are painted they are fired to pre serve the finish and the maker has in his possession a vase, plaque, lamp base, or statue worth many times the original cost. “North Carolina’s Most Uni que Ceramic Shop”, as it will be advertised in the trade magazine, is providing two classes for your convenience, one in the afternoons and one in the evenings. The shop is located in one of the newly renovated sections formerly _ occupied by Black Mountain grocery and feed store on State street.

Bar Association) CRIMES PUNISHABLE BY DEATH What crimes are punishable by death in North Carolina? Murder in the first degree, burglary in the first degree, rape, and arson. If at the time of rendering its verdict in open court, the jury shall so recommend, the punishment for any of these crimes may be imprisonment for life in the state’s prison. Crimes punishable by death are frequently called “capital crimes”. How is the death penalty administered in North Caro lina? Death sentences for crimes committed subsequent to July 1, 1935, are carried out by the administration of lethal gas. If a person should be ar rested and convicted today for a capital crime committed prior to July 1, 1935, the death sentence would be car ried out by electrocution. Why are the crimes or arson and burglary punishable by death? Both of these crimes are against the habitation of hu man beings and have always been regarded as of the most serious or aggravated offenses. The law has been zealous in [he protection of a man’s home. What is burglary? Burglary is the breaking and entering of a dwelling house, or in any room used as a sleeping apartment in any building, of another, in the nighttime, with the intent to commit a felony therein. Burglary is generally com -nitted with an intent to steal, out there are frequent cases vhere the intent is to rape or commit other crimes. The particular crime in 'forth Carolina is divided into wo degrees, first and second, lepending upon the actual oc lupancy of the dwelling or deeping apartment at the time >f the commission of the crime. Tf the habitation is actually >ccupied at the time of the commission of the crime, it s burglary in the first degree ind punishable by either death >r life imprisonment. If the Tabitation is not actually oc cupied at the time of the commission of the crime, it is ourglary in the second degree and punishable by either life imprisonment or for a term of years in the discretion of [he judge. *_*_* Capital punishment has been abolished in only six of the states of this country. In nine other states capital pun ishment has been abolished but later restored. • RENT IT - CLASSIFIEDS!
