Toms and M. I> Hopper, also Loui
t ipscotnb arid Frank Soak-, Jr, both
employes of the city water and light
decartments, asking damages of .£2.
C"'0 against each of these defendants
for cutting down shade trees in front
of the property of Robert L. Mode,1
i air,ter who lives on S. Washington -
sireet. When the complaint was filed i
this week by Attorneys Peyton Me-,
Swain and Cleveland Gardner ?«,;•
Robert L. Mode, little uneasir.e- was :
created at the city hall in and out of
which these officials and employee s:
voi k. The complaint set forth several
.causes’ of action ar.d asks damages
for trespassing on Mode property
i'thI erecting “highpowered electric '
]i-if on unsightly poles to the amount
of S500 actual damage and £500 puni
tive damages. For c-uUing the trees i
front-df his property, Mode asks £2,
n actual damages and Sl.OOi) pr.ih
live damages against each of the re'
defendants mentioned in the ac
tion.
The cutting of several shade ’treis
h tween the sidewalks and curb - n
-S Washington street in front of Mr.
Mode’s property caused no little dis
cussion about ten days ago. Accor i
ii.g to city officials, the occupant of
the house north of the Mode house
v,Tilted electric current and the m-:,r
<■ t and most feasable route for eh.s
li t was across the rear of the Mode
lot. Poles were set to serve h.s
neighbor but Superintendent Toms <■

>V wires were not “mghpoWcreo
1. it carried only 110 volts, the same
strength of electricity which enters
; .1 homes for lighting and cooking'
;,-kJ there is no danger whatever. The
town sought to string the line acres.-;
the Mode property ir. order to avoid.
; : higing a line in front of' the h<;e:
along the street where it would he.
necessary to trim the shad.- trees.
The town alleges that Mr. Mode once
agreed for the line to go to the rea"
i f his Tot but later changed his mind.
Then an effort was made to get his
consent to hang the wire high in the
air across one corner of his lot in
order to avoid trimming the trees.
M,*. Mode refused even to allow a
city electric wire to pass over his h e
: ;>d when told that it would necessi
tate trimming the shade trees along
the sidewalk if the town was forced
to pursue this course he told the
employees of the water and jigi’t
deuartnient to “cut the trees down.’’
Mayor Weathers instructed I. ;
comb and Spake to trim the -m ‘T
.-ees as lightly as possible if they
found no other solution of the pro
blem to get the wires to the neigh
bor’s house and the Mayor did n .
know the trees were cut down until
the afternoon after they had been cut
that morning. Lipscomb and Spa*1
who did cut the trees declare that
they did so solely at the direction m l
i ron the authority of ihe prop' rt\
Owner, Mr. Mode who files the
plaint asking for damages.
In the complaint Mode alleges i at
hi- owns the property to 'he curb <-i
street, but in answer to this thi
town alleges that it owns and con
trols the street and sidewalks an :
trees and had a right to cut the saw
if necessary. The trees that were t at
were between the street anil s‘d<‘
v.alk and on property generall;. io
garded as belonging to the town.

Rev. Mr. Way in his complaint
.-ys that he tried to reach a
conpromise settlenunt without
! e . ri ing to legal methods,
I MU cured from the com
rlair.c infortns that the paster
row a resident of Lexington,
was i ily called and accepted the
call to the church. That the call
was for the year from November
1C, 1924, to November 1C, 1925
r.hd that he served for the pre
scribed period faithfully with
care and diligence, making pas
toral calls and discharging every
duty.
For the year set out, accord
ing to the complaint, he was to
receive a salary of $1,100 and
use of the parsonage. But so
tar, it adds, he has only receiv
ed $771.91 and that he has made
repeated demands for the re
mainder, which is to the amount
Of $1128.06 and has been refused,
in the further claim.
Forced to Outside Work
Owing to the lack of payment
nod lack of promntness in what
was paid Rev. Mr. Way adds
that ho was forced to seek out
* ide work in order to secure a
means of livelihood for himself
and his family. Although not
contained in the complain it is
said by Mr. Way the church re
fused to pay some of the remain
ing salary because the pastor
was employed on other work,
however the complaint stresses
the fact that through lack of
funds that such procedure was
necessary. Tlis outside work here
was in the newspaper, field and
he now is connected with a print
ing firm at Lexington, his forrn
et home.
In that he “served faithfully
for the entire year and carried
out his obligation" the plaintiff
believes that he is entitled to
the full amount and prays the
court that he recover judgment
for the remaining amount with in-,
ttrest since November 1C, 1925,
end that the costs of the action
be placed against the defend
ants.
State Spent $71,000,000 In
Baying Automobiles In 1925
X-■!••.!) Carolina spent 871,561,400 j
in buying automobiles during: 1925, i
which covered the purchase of 65.- (
595 new car,' valued at $54,116,700,
and 49,642 used Cars valued at $17,*
444.700, according to figures made
public bv Sprague Silver, of the auto
mobile license bureau of the depart
ment of revenue.
This br.ngs the total registration
of January 1 to 356,200 cars in the
state An additional 11,338 were regis
tered during the month oi January,
bringing the February 1 registration
to 367,598 which is an automobile to
every 6.8 persons or the two million
and a half residing in the state.
There were probably 5,000 cars
sold in December which were not
registered until January, hence these
figures represent the cars which were
actually registcred last year. Mr.
'Silver stated. It is the same with the
used car sales, the figures represent,
ism the triiu.-actions which were re
corded. ,
Guilford and Mecklenburg counties
lead the state with the greatest nuir
'0f cars, Mr. Silver stated, al
though he was not prepared to give
absolute figures on the various sec
t ons. Guilford county probably had a
slight edge on Mecklenburg, he sa.d,
while Forsvthe would fall third, and
Wake would rank about fourth in the

A house on the extension of
South Washington street and
owned by the Belmont Cotton
Mills was gutted by flames about
2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon.
The house, which was occupied
by Sallie Shytle, remained stand

damaged, the cold, driving wind
giving it too much headway be

The fire came as the result of
a small blaze kindled by a child,

to the report the child struck a
match and touched it to some
thing inside the house and ran.

Of much local interest is the
report received here yesterday
from Newton that Major Wade
bowman was sentenced by Judge
James L. Webb, of Shelby, f>
oiie year on the Buncombe county
n ods for the attack on a young
Hickory girl for which he was
convicted in court there last
week.
A news dispatch from Newton
continues:
He filed notice of appeal and the
tohd was flved at $4,000.
The. sentence was pronounced by
Judge Webb,after it was withheld
for further consideration since Mon
day. The judge weighed the matter
long and had been troubled greatly
by it. Bowman admitted to certain in-1
df.s>ncies with the little 12-year-old
prosecutrix. .
Tlie sentence of Wade Bowmui-,
former major in the North Carolina
Notional Gtutrd, to one year on the
chningang by Judge Webb brings to
mi end temporarily one of the out
standing criminal cases of recert
months in the State courts.
Major Bowman was indicted on a
charge of attacking a twelve-year
old Hickory girl in his unfinished
house and for three months, lan
guished in jail awaiting trial. A
Istrfhig battery of counsel was im
! ported for the trial by both the de
fense and the prosecution and wide
interest centered in Newton.
! .The State endeavored to place a
!capital crime on the Hickory raur.,
but he denied the attack, pleading
i guilty to certain indecencies with the
Little girl. After only about three
I qua! ters of an hour deliberation, the
j jury found him guilty late Satur
jday afternoon of attack on a female
! carrying with it maximum sentence of
i two years.
Judge Webb at first set Monday,
for rendering the sentence, but with
j held his decision until Tuesday to
I give more time to the various an ■

Swiped A Boat, Not
An Auto And It
Cost Him 10 Bucks
Very frequently nowadays one
hears the report: “Some one stole my
brat.’ They mean automobile, but
town on the border of No 1 and No
:! townships, where the Broad river
flows Fred Berk took a boat, accord
ing to charges, and bothered not with
substitutes.
Beck recently moved to this county
from Georgia—sooner or later, y’know
—and near his place on the river, he
told Recorder Mull he found an old
boat, cleaned it out and moved it
over td fhis side. W. H. Jones, to
whom the boat belonged told it an
other way. Judge Mull heeded both
a tit and Monday fined Beck $10 and
the costs. So now it’s easily un
derstood that it was not an automo
bile; some of them are not worth that
(much.

Dawson In Shelby,
Going To Asheville
Democratic Chairman Stops Over
While En Route to Development
Buy in Western N. C.
John G. Dawson, of Kinston, chair
man of the Democratic executive com
mittee, stopped over in Shelby Wed
nesday morning for a short visit with
O. Max Gardner and other friends
I here.
bo far as could be discerned on the
'.ui face there was nothing of political
import in the visit. Politics has not
\ chance of lowering the temperature
fever, which this section has.
In fact, Mr. Dawson is far from
! aving chills along that line himself.
He with business associates was
ir. route at the time to Asheville to
mit the 800 acre site between Aahe
pille and Hendersonville, which’ was
purchased by a syndicate of which he
is a member last week. The announce
ment Sunday of the development told
of a proposed expenditure of one
million dollars there. Mr. Gardner ac
companied the party in the role of
tendering advice to the development
program as coming from the head of
Shelby’s newly organized Gardner
Land company. \
Mr. Gardner’s advice to his politi
cal and realty friends will add a
warning to not buy too much in the
mountains and hold some for pur
chases around Shelby, he informed
friends. '
