Man Shoots Wife '
And Kills Self
Kinston, Nov. 13.—Raymond Jack
son, 34 aLenoir county farm tenant,
shot and killed his young wife, then
suicided at his home a few miles from
here today. The tragedy occurred in
a bedroom in which the four small
children of the couple were sleeping.
One of these, nine years of age was
awakened by the shots. Frightened,
he lay huddled in a bed with two small
er children until hours later when day
light had come.
The three-year-old baby of the fam
ily was in a cradle by the side of the
bed on which the mother lay dead. The
back of her bead was shot entirely
away. The body of Jackson was lying
behind a trunk, across which rested
the shot gun with which he had per
petrated the double tragedy. Neigh
bors said the Jacksons had quarreled
often recently. They attributed their
differences to “unfound jealousy” on
the man's part. The oldest child of the
family said the man was drinking last
night and tried to provoke a quarrel.
He raced the engine of an automobile
outside of the house, the boy says, in
an effort to annoy the woman. When
she declined to quarrel with 1pm he
became frenzied and shot her, a mo
ment later blowing off the top of his
own head. The killing occurred about
4 o'clock.
1 he Jackson children, three, five
seven and nine years of age, were tak
en to the homeof a neighbor. Persons
first to arrive at the house found the
tiny bedroom, barely large enough for
the two beds it contained, a veritable
shamble. Blood and bits of flesh were
scattered over floor and one bed.
Hiccoughs All Over
City Of Gastonia
Gastonia.—Gastonia lias an epidemic
of hiccough, local physicians and
druggists are authority for the state
ment that within the past two weeks
there has been a large number of
eases of this si range disease. At least
one patient hiccoughed for several
days and was in a very serious condi
tion. One physician stated that prob
ably a dozen cases have come under
his observation within the past two
weeks.
Not a day passes, say local drug
gists, that people do not come in and
ask for something to give them re
lief from this disease. From informa
tion gathered from conversation with
physicians, hiccoughing is just about
as baffling a disease as they have to
contend with. It seems that medical
science knows very little about its
cause or its cure. One physician says
that practically every known remedy
to be found i na drug store has been
tried for it. Some times a remedy
works on one person and fails on an
other. The old home cure remedy of
a drink of cold water frequently re
lieves it, but seems to fail in the case
of an epidemic such as this.
Gastonia has in the past had at
least one death on record from hic
coughs. In that case the patient hic
coughed for seven o reight days and
died.
Cotton in the Swing.
Charlotte Observer.
When the stock market is healthily
active, business throughout the coun
try is good. The stock market is an un
failing index. The activities in all
kinds of stocks—railroad and indus
trial—in recent days indicate a rising
tide of business in all lines. It is to be
noted that cotton has been caught in
the upward swing and the hope might
he entertained that the rise will con
tinue to the reaching of the 30 cents
notch. Conditions developing since the
election give encouragement to the
hope, but it is not altogether home in
fluences that are operating to the tem
porary health of the cotton market.
The recently developed stiff demand
for export staple has much to do with
it. It would be a hard fate, indeed, if
cotton should fail to share in the gen
eral upward trend of commodities, and
for once the road ahead of it is appar
ently being cleared of obstructions.
NORTHERN DEMOCRAT
HIKES SOUTH ON BEf
Gastonia, Nov. 15.—That a few
staunch and loyal democrats still live
in the “north” was evidenced in an
itinerant passenger picked up Wed
nesday by a Gastonia motorist on the
outskirts of the city. The traveller
was bound for Jacksonville, Fla.,
afoot and without funds, as the result
of a unique election bet that Davis
would carry New York the loser to
reach Jacksonville, hiking or chance
rides, without money and price on or
before November 14. The loser had
struck it lucky in riding from Dan
ville, Va., to Charlotte in one night.
The Gastonian placed him near Spar
tanburg beyond the detours, where he
expressed confidence in making the
distance with a day or two to spare.
SWINDELL SENTENCED
TO SERVE 30 YEARS
Elizabeth City, Nov. 12—Joe Swin
dell, convicted of having improper re
lations with a young girl here, today
was sentenced in Superior court to
serve 30 years in the state prison.
J. D. F’arrior, of Wilson, grand
father of the girl in the case, who
made his way into the jail here re
cently and shot and wounded Swin
dell so badly he probably will be a
cripple for the remainder of his life,
was sentenced to serve one to three
years in the state prison. Farnor
pleaded guilty. Swindell was convict
ed by a jury. ^
