GOFORTH, Shelby, N. C. [ New York Herald-Tribune. Andrew Freedman will have been dead nine years. Born poor, he left up ward of four millions. He was lonely when he died—-lone- ! ly and haunted by a fear of poverty. ! He never married. A short time after his funeral law yers read his will. A brother got 850,000 and a sister was cared for. But the bulk of the estate went to establish the Andrew Freedman home This institution, said the will, is to be “operated as a home for the free and gratituious reception, shelter, care, maintenance of aped and indi gent persons of both sexes and with out regard to race or creed.” A little further on the will says the trustees “shall be confined in thR selection of aged and indigent persons ns in mates of said home tothose who hnve been in good circumstances, but by reason of adverse fortune have be come poor and dependent. In case of husband and wife being received into the institution provision shall be made so that they shall dwell together therein. There shall nlso be no re strictions as to the form of worship to be observed on the part of the in mates of the home.” .At Breakfast. , . j The Andrew Freedman home stands at One Hundred and Sixty-sixth St., and Grand concourse, the Bronx. It i is a splendid place—four stories of i gray limestone, with forty-eight bed rooms, each with an individual color scheme. The first guests have moved in. There are about twenty of them— ■ eight couples and four or five single men and women. Their ages range from GO to 80. They have a home that is better than any of the costly apart ment houses that line the concourse. The best time to observe those who live there now' is at breakfast. The j dining room has tables for couples and for parties of four. As the ex rich come down from their rooms ! there is no hurrying. They are shown ; to tables and attended by waiters. At one table is a F renen couple. Years ago, this man and his wife pre sided over an establishment of their own. Long: ago he was a jeweler. He was wealthy. Later he opened an ex clusive restaurant—and lost his money Now he is too old to work. He sits at breakfast, twirling his pointed white mustaehios, chatting gavly with his wife. And she is as cheerful as he. > Next is a table for four. The stout little old lady with the kepn, flashing eyes used to be a physician, they say. ' One of the first women phvsieians in , New York. But she gradually lost her practice, then bad a long period of ill health, and found her self broke. I She is talking over the grapefruit to the leather-skinned, but white-haired old gentleman to her left. He, they say, used to be a mining engineer. Ho had an office in New York and he went to Arizona, Peru, the Klondike and South Africa in search of precious metals. He found thorn and lost them, j Tie’s getting a hit feeble now, and he ! says he’s tired. The Guests. With them is another couple, an ( aged clergyman and his wife. Years ' ago they were fairly well known in \ Philadelohia. Thousands went to hear him. But he lost his voice forVa time and never fully got it bade. His sav ings went, too. The conversation?; Well, now and then the clergyman leads a discussion of modernism and fundanieltalism. The woman phvsician i gives her view on “woman in the pro fessions.’’ The mining engineer re counts tales of his adventures in strange corners of the world. They are not garrulous. Thev are merely a group of new-found friends, refined old people, carrying on a well-restrain ed but animated conversation. At another table is a woman who once lived on Park avenue and whose husband left her a fortune—which vanished in a bucket-shop. For several years she had been living, in a fur nished room. Tt is probable Andy Freedman gave a thought to just such women when he made his will. Also, iney say, living mere is an admiral’s widow; n former merchant who once held a high position in the busines life of New York: a learned professor of history and his wife; a lawyer and his wife. All are poor, as Andrew Freedman specified, through (he turns of “an adverse fortune.” Wildcat investments, bad business ad visers, scheming partners. faulty judgment, illness, disaster—these are some of-the reasons they are there. The interior of the Freedman home is unlike that of any other institu tion of likq. nature in the world. There are private baths. The big library and living room have some of Freedman’s own furniture in them. The dining room is Chinese. There also is a card room with movable partition palls to insure privacy. For those who are not too shSky with the cue there is bil liards. Built Fortune With Croker. There are men in New York who think it curious that Freedman should have specified that only “people of refinement” should live in his home. Freedman dressed well and his table manners were above reproach, but he engaged in a number of fist fights, particularly in the few years follow ing 1895, when he became owner of the New York Giants. He was one of the first to see the possibilities of the subway. He was close to Richard Croker, and he and Croker built their fortunes to DU. A. PITT BEAM Dentist Shelby. N. C.

A vigorous championing of prohi bition as being one of the chief con tributing factors in North Carolina’s unparalleled progress and absolute confidence in the citizenship of this 'tate to uphold the laws of state and erftton were outstanding points in the charge of Judge Edwin Yates Webb to the incoming grand jury Monday morning at the convening ,erm of Federal court for the Western Morth Carolina district in Charlotte. Judge Webb, who arrived Monday morning from Washington, in his op *ning remarks to the new grand jury leclared that he had no fear of North Carolina jurors doing their duty. He explained that in this state as long as i law is upon the statute books, it is "espected by our citizens and that in lis experience with juries in this state le has at almost nil times found them ■onscientious in their efforts to up hold the law. The court opened for a two-weeks’ run, during which time it is expected :hat many scores of cases will be cleared from the doekeC In_lhe.Jieigh lorbbod of 300 cases are scheduled for learing and of this number, a large majority are for alleged violations of [he Volstead law. Prohibition and Progress. Judge Webb declared that he was not arguing the case for prohibition. "No state has made more progress during the past 15 years than North Carolina. There is no need to argue prohibition religiously, financially, educationally we have made wonder ful progress. We are the talk of the nation. There is no more ideal placo in the world to live. Although we are not given in North Carolina to boast ing, we have a wonderful state. We believe in "Esse quam videre"—-"to be rather than to seem.” It’s the way with our folks. And we may depend uuon North Carolina juries to respect the laws on our statute books.” /vmvougn tree judge uiiiii t oner pro hibition as the sole agent responsible for our material progress during the past few years, he did maintain that prohibition is back of a great deal of it and without prohibition, he declar ed, our great development would be without value. “I wouldn’t give fifteen cents for these great North Carolina roads if the saloons were to come back. We j wouldn't be safe and our families and friends wouldn’t be safe on them with some man who had been drinking li quor turned loose in an automobile.” the judge said. 18 Dowers Delegated. There are 18 powers delegated to. the Federal government, the judge ex plained, and among- these are the op eration of the postoffice and post roads system, which does an annual business of $400,000,000; the coinage and issuance of money, the declara-1 tion of war, the control of interstate commerce, etc. There has been a grad ual falling off of cams in which defen dants are charged with dodging the draft and other offenses connected with the prosecution of war, the judge explained. He devoted a short time to th» discussion of the various offenses that may be charged by the Federal government. The Volstead Act. The major part of the charge, how. ever, had to do wth adiscussion of the Volstead act, so designated, he ex plained, because Representative Vol stead was chairman of the house ju diciary committee that offered the bill. Judge Webb for many years held the same position in congress as repre sentative from the ninth North Caro lina district. The \ olstead act, passed by con gress and ratified in 1920 by a ma jority of the 9tates of the union, pro vides penalties for its violation and the severity of these are based upon whether or not the defendant is a first off* nder or whether he has fac ed the court before and been found guilty upon a charge of its violation. First offenses charging manufac ture. selling, transporting, and pos sessing liquor are punishable by small prison sentences or fines. Manufactur ing and selling liquor may be punish able by a sentence of six months and transporting is punishable by a $500 fine. Upon conviction the second time, however, the defendant may be given a term of 5 years in the penitentiary for making or selling liquor. Evehything Against Liquor. } The judge declared that he has no patience with -the man who argues against prohibition “because it does not prohibit." The same argument may be advanced against the law against stealing or murder, he said, and it is simply silly talk. “Liquor will go out as did dueling and the lotteries,” the judge said. “Ev erything is against it. The churches, the schools, the insurance companies, the citizens, everything. The prohibi tion law is a very youthful law. It has only been upon the national statute books four years and in some of the states not much longer. North Car olina is a pioneer in prohibition. We adopted it in 1908.” The judge declared that he is not Ian advocate of the extremity of pun ishment. Only a knowledge of fact that the courts will surely punish violation of the law will keep down crime, he declared. __ ■ '::■■■ TRY STAR WANT ADS, jVo.I7* pencil \\ “j ^s^’ioith tha RED BAND \T 'AGLFPENCIL CO.
