Negro Stages Rampage
Around Rock Quarry
Will Roseboro, colored, was fied $100
arid the costs in recorders’ court Fri
day morning for an assnult with a
deadly weapon, but ihe informal
charge was for holding target prac
tice with a big .46 in the quarry shan
ties Thursday night. Roseboro “low
ed” that a negro man and woman at
the quarry camp had ben slandering
hini to his wife and the target prac
tice was to “help them' keep their
mouths shut.” Roseboro chased tho
woman out from under the bed where
she hid find fired once through the
floor to emphasize his speech. The
other negro man sleeping in an ad
joining room heard the fleeting, lead
and came in to remonstrate, but used
his feet to his own advantage after
Roseboro decided to shoot at them. An
other bullet from Roseboro’s gun was
said to have grazed the skin rn the
shoulder of the fleeing negro. Evi
dence introduced tended to show that
Roseboro’s rampage was induced by
“dope” although he denied the fact,
with the exception of the Thursday
night outburst the superintendent
gave Roseboro a good character.

Hopper Runs Bij?
Ranch In West
Carl Hopper, Former Shelby Hoy Has
50.000 Acres Kanch and 3,800
Head of Cattle Under Control
Carl Hopper, son of Mr anti Mrs.
M. D. Hopper who is here on n visit
to his parents, bringing his wife with
him from Falfurrias, Texas, has
charge of ranch lands of 50,000 acres
stocked with 3.800 head of white faced
Hereford cattle. When his father-in
law died, Mr. Hopper took up his work
and is carrying it on with great suc
cess, although the cattle business is
more or less of a gamble because the
market on rattle is constantly cbang.
ing. When Mr. Hopper's father-in-law
died he owned about 40.000 acres and
had about 10,000 leased. All of the
ranch land is in barbed wire pasture,
the open grazing lands of the west
having passed with the growth and
development, of the country. In addi
tion to raising cattle, Mr. Hopper
says he raises enough horses for the
ranchmen and it requires about, 125 to
furnish the cowboys who look after
the cattle. A great part of the cattle
is sold at a year old but if market con
ditions are not .favorable, the cattle
is keot over till the second year.
Falfurrias is in southwest Texas
about 50 rules from the Mexican bor
der, The trass is green all the year
round and the livestock requires no
food whatever to supplement the grass
diet. This enables Mr. Hopper to grow
cattle some cheaper than other cat
tle raisers who live higher up in Tex
as and are forced to buy feed during
the winter. He says the climate is
ideal and is well suited to citrus fruits
He thinks in the course of years that
this section of Texas/'will rival Cali
fornia in the growth of citrus fruits.
Mr. Hopner and his charming wife
are here for several weeks. This is
her first visit to Shelby and she is
most favorably impressed with the
hospitality of the people, but natur
ally she prefers her native western
state for her permanent abode. Carl
has been in Texas 11 years, hut comes
back every now and then on a visit.

Forest City Courier.
Mr. Zeb Jones well known farm,
or living four miles north of Ellen
boro, near WashburnV store, com
mitted suicide at an early hour Thurs
day morning’, May 22, by drowning
himself in a shallow stream on his
farm.
His rash act was first discovered
by his wife, who found his body lying
in water about thi'bi? %et deep. She
immediately summoned help from
neighbors, who removed the -body to
his residence. The verdict of the Cor
oner’s jury was that he had commit
ted suicide.
Mr. Jones had been 81 and despon
dent for some time and often re
marked to members o# his family
that he was sick and no account and
they feared for his safety and had
kept a close watch upon Him. Thurs
day morning he had told them that he
would drive the cows to pasture. His
daughter wanted to accompany him,
but he insisted upon going by himself.
As he could have reached the stream
elsewhere in a shorter distance, it is
presumed that he picked the deepest
pool and deliberately drowned himself
It was found that he had gone
through a thicket and some distance
out of his way to reach the snot where
the body was found. Mrs. Jones fol
lowed soon after he did not put in his
appearance in a reasonable time, and
was shocked to find his body lying
in the water.
Mr. Jones was 44 years old and is
survived by his wife and four chil
dren. He was the son of Wm. Jones,
deceased, and was reared in the White
side Valley section. Other surviving
relatives are his mother and one
brother and sister. He was a member
of the Cane Run Baptist church and
had always borne the reputation of
being a good business man and Chris
tian gentleman. Ill health and despon
dency had undermined his reason,
causing him to commit the rash act.

BAILEY PLEADS FOR
REDUCED LAND TAXES
LOWER FREIGHT RATES
AND SECRET BALLOT
JUNE 7TH IS THE TIME TO DE
CIDE THESE GREAT QUES
TIONS OF PUBLIC POLICY.
TOO LATE AFTER JUNE TTH
Mr. Bailey Aska the Voters to Mako
Their Approval of Cause* Repres
ented By Him Overwhelmingly Em
hatic by Getting Every Democrat to
Vote in the Primary Saturday, Jurw
7th.
To the Democratic Voters of NOFth j
Carolina:
This is a campaign of Issues. The
Primary June 7th will settle certain
questions of public policy—questions
of real importance.
1 The first of these Is the question
of taxes.
Land taxes have been steadily rla*
ing In this State for ten yeari. The
invease amounts to thirty per cent a
year every year for eleven ^years.
And under the present system there
is certainty that they will continue to
rise. I hold that land is bearing more
than Its just share of the burden of
taxes, and that we must so change the
system as to shift the burden. My
opponent frankly defends the present
system.
I am opposed to any taxes on land,
or property for State purposes.
I hold that when the State exenipted
from taxation more than fllt.OOU.OOO
worth of stocks in foreign corpora*
tions it did a great wrong. On this
subject my opponent says nothing.
this one act ADDED MORE
THAN A MILLION AND A HALF OF
DOLLARS TO TAXES ON LANDS.
It took that much from the taxes of
the wealthy and put it on property—
mainly land.
The election June 7th will determine
whether or not land taxes will con*
Unue to increase.
2. The second big question before
us is the question of political control.
So long as We have mac'nine control,
we will have control by and tor spec
ially favored Interests.
The people can manage the Demo
cratic Party, and they can take cars
of it.
Ail the progress that ever was mads
was made in spite of the rnling pow
ers.
Machines operate in politics by
means of money; and they pay tha
money back at the public expense.
Machines are maintained for the
benoflt of a few. They give the peo
ple only what they dare not refuse.
We must put an end to this sort of
thing or the people will lose confi
dence in the Democratic Party. Offibe
holders have no right to dictate to
voters of the State by secretly nomi
nating candidates for office for two,
three and four terms In advance.
I am in favor of the Australian Bal
lot and of court review of election re.
turns. The Australian Ballot will give
the voters secrecy in voting and will
make the purchase of votes difficult
and will tend to put an end to the
power of money in politics.
My opponent la defending our pres
ent election primary lawa.
This question also will be settled
June 7th.
3. The third big question before ua
is the question of freight-rates.
I propose to-resist to the fullest ex
tent the discriminations against
North Carolina in faeor of Virginia,
and also to resist the proposed in
crease of freight rates. I hold that
' since the ATLANTIC COA8T LINE is
now making more than twenty per
cent on its capital, and the SOUTH
ERN RAILWAY Is paying dividends
at the rate of five per cent a year on
$120,000*000 of watered common
stock, there Is no necessity for In
creasing freight rates; and I remind
all ot our people that Increased freight
charges will increase the cost of liv
ing. My opponent is silent on the
question of lower freight rates.
t It Is the Primary, June 7th, vote that
will decide all of these Issues. Vote
early and then stand by and see the
votes counted and certified. *
JOSIAH W. BAILEY, j
Raleigh, May U. 1»24. A
A LAST WORD TO THK VOTERS.
er taxes on land and small homes;
lower freight rates, and the secret
ballot, Saturday, June 7th, is the day
to get them.
We are depending on you. We have
no money to pay hired workars, and
would not employ them If we had. It
is your fight. Go to the polls Sathr
day, June 7th, and pee that yoar
friends go also.
Remember, if you get relief any
time within the next four yeara, you
will get it in the Primary June Ttk.
Make it overwhelming for Joslah W.

The Snow.
(By Emma Hogue.)
Th# clouds took on an ashen hue,
The cold north winds now fiercely ,,
blew,
It pinched the little snow birds toes,,
Till they grew stiff and nearly froze.
Tired of the cruel wanton play,
It plumed its wings and flew away
To shelter in some friendly house
And be as snug as any mouse.
At length the snow came softly down
And covered where the earth was
brown, ,w
It played around the lady’s cheek,
And tapped in glee the parson meek;
Where all alone the busy street,
The crowd with shout and laughter
greet,
And hail the snow flake® falling fast
.Too pure to stay, too bright to last. l" •
Over Ninety Percent of -
Childish Ailments
Come From Indigestion
—'W. L. Hand.
Indigestion, in children, should fan
but a very temporary condition. Yet,
while it lasts, it congests the liver and
bowels, breeds germs and fills the blood
with poisons that are the cause of many
troubles. . ...
Children’s ailments develop suddenly,
without much warning, but yield just
as quickly to proper treatment. By si
multaneous cleansing action of stomach,
liver and bowels, my Liv-o-lax, a pless
en t-tasting liquid remedy, gives the
quick relief that mothers seat, and it •
saves the use of calomel and castor oil.
Just one trial will convince. Get a
30c bottle. Children love Liv-o-lax and....
mothers will be delighted with its quick
action.
