Published Monday, Wednesday and Friday Afternoons. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANGK JVo Sentence Yet In Jones Assault Case—Other Cases Found Guilty by Jury of Assault on Female. Spectators Barred. Ellis Will Issue Practically all of the criminal dock et facing the present term of Super :,.r court was completed yesterday. However, a number of cases will be laken up Friday with the return of Solicitor Huffman, who was called to Newton today in connection with the recent Brookford homicide. The civil docket was tak«n up Wed nesday morning and will have an uninterrupted grind with the exception of the disposal of a few criminal cases Friday. The most important case on the criminal docket, that of Jim Jones lound guilty of an assault on a fe male—an 8-year-old girl—is st;ll hanging fire as regards the sentence. The case came up before the court yes terday afternoon and th" defendant through his attorney, O. Max Gard ner. plead not guilty to the more se rous charge and the jury returned a verdict of guilty of assault on a fe rtile. It will be remembered that Jones was arrested after parents of the little girl charged an attack on her at a spring near the home at Flat ( Iiock. When the case was called and the main prosecuting witness, the little girl was called to the stand, Judge Shaw ordered the court room cleared of all spectators leavine only court i officials. At the end of the testimony spectators were permitted to return tc the court room. The case, according to the court, was unusual by evidence in several instances and following the return of the verdict Judge Shaw ordered that the defendant be taken back to jail uhile he considered the matter. The maximum sentence on the. charge Jones was found guilty of is two years imprisonment, and it Is thought likely that sentence will be passed sometime Friday. There is con siderable interest in the case and many spectators are still attending court waiting to hear the judge’s decision A number of other defendants, plead ing guilty and found guilty by jury, are in jail awaiting sentences, which will probably be passed at the snm* time. Cases disposed of include the fol lowing: State vs. McClure York, manufac turing liquor, defendant plead guilry. 12 months on roads without stripes. State vs. Charlie Canipe, manufac turing liquor; defendant plead guilty One year on roads without stripes. State vs. Scott H .Hendricks, f. and A,, guilty by jury with years sentence. State vs. James Elam, manufac turing liquor; 90 days in jail, to pay costs and ?35 jail fees. State vs. Robert Carpenter, Guy Clark and Carl Blackwood, breaking and entering and larceny; the jury found Clark not guilty, Carpenter under 1G years of age and Blackwood puflty on both counts. The case was in connection with store breaking In the county. State vs. Eugene Wood, assault on female; defendant plead guilty and was sentenced to 12 months on roads. The assault, according to evidence took place at the fair grounds when the colored girl was passing “Thru the Clouds”, a show wherein the r.egro Wood was employed. Wood’s home is , in Georgia and he fias been in jail here since the fair. 1 he criminal docket was ieatureci by minor liquor cases, trespass, forg ery and such. One defendant awaiting sentence was charged with the larceny j of a bale of cotton, otherwise the tbe docket was of the usual run and interest. The civil docket opened this morn ing with a suit by the Plonk estate "f Kings Mountain against Steam Brothers company, the construction f'rm that completed the paving work on Highway No. 20 this county. At torney J. Roan Davis represented the plaintiff and O. Max Gardner the de fendant. The issue of more interest than any other on the civil calendar is perhaps |he Ellis will matter. In this issue, it >s understood that Waynesville rela tives of the first wife of Dr. R. C. Er lis are contesting her will. The will fjled left all of her property to Dn. Tllis. The exact nature of the plain tiff’s action is not known. The issue, it is thought, will come up before' the court Thursday.

Will Survey Old I'ump Station. An electric ‘‘stop and go” traf ficc signal system was ordered j last night by the mayor and board of aldermen in regular session, | s;x of these systems to be install* ed at the six most congested stre« corners in Shelby. One will be at each of the four corners of the court square while the others wilt be placed at the corner of Sumter and N. La Payette and another at the corner of Graham and S. La Fay ette street. The signals will occupy the center of the street at those crossings and wired un derground. A bell will sound an alarm at intervals and lights will flash in periods, indicating when tlie traffic, both vehicular and pe destrian can move north and south cast and west, the signals being so timed that going east and west must stop for a period of time while traffic is moving north and south and vice versa. There “stop and go" signals arc preventing lots of accidents in the cities where they are used and it is felt will so systematize the traffic in Shelby that accident* will be averted. The 6 signals will cost about 5? 11250. To Survey Pump Station.

Sites closer to Shelby which have been under con sideration, are thought by the city officials to.be too high to buy, hence the enlargement of the present station is being considered now. Dr. Royster and son-; who are erecting eight 2-story store rooms were granted permission to pave that part of the alley to the rear of S. LaFayette building and advance the entire cost of same, the town’s part to be refunded when another paving program is inaugurated.
