United States SAi)-|tor- Overman was elected to his fifth term on November 2. by ■ major''v of 76.043. according to the offiii-il certification of the vote which was made by . the State 1 w’r.) of elections. The Democratic majority this year was less than it has been at any time since the enfranchise ment of women .in 1920, but al though the total vote polled in the State was less than half of what it was in 1920. the first time the women voted and was little less than half of the vote in the Presi dential election of 1924. the total ; vote shows only a slight shrink age over the last "off year" elec tion in 1922. The comparative figure si ice 1920 for leading offices follow: 1920: Total vote, 539,847; Over man’s majority for Senator, 81, 101: Morrison’s majority for ■ Governor. 78,016. 1922: Total vote, 266.725; l.eo’s majority for Corporation Com missioner. 84,881. 1924: Total vote, 480,068; Sim mons’ majority for Senator, 101, 011; McLean’s majority for Gov ernor. 98.814. 1»2<>. Total vote. 261.825; Over ; man’s majority for Senator, 76,043. Not Voting Straight Tickets The shrinkage in the vote, due 1 largely to apathy in many east ern counties where there was no ' opposition to local tickets, was a no less striking feature of the •lection returns than was the failure of western counties to vote straight tickets. Senator Overman carried 86 counties, leaving only 14 for John ston J. Hayes, his Republican op ponent. while the Republicans sent 16 men to the lower! House of the legislature, together with three members of the Senate. Former .Member of Legislature, Friend of Man and I'ublir Spirited Citizen Dies. Mr. J. I'. D. Withrow, known sometimes by hi.s three initials and attain as plain Durham \\ ithrow the“merchant p; inee of Hollis,” died suddenly Thanksgiving even ing about 0 o’clock at his home, following a protracted illness with heart trouble and h'gh blood pres-i sure. The “merchant prince” was born in Duncans Creek township of Rutherford county and for .‘15 years was a merchant at Hollis,1 building that little mountain town' from a cross roads store to a thriv-! ing little village. Durham Withrow, was known far and wide, for he was a big-hearted, jovial character who radiated joy and sunshine among all with whom he came in contact. He was honest in every ; particular broad-minded and pub-1 lie-spirited, a (piick wTt and quaint philosopher who lived a life of sen - ' ice for others. Evidence that he was j a friend to man was often- shown ] in the fact that ho contributed lib-1 orally to all denominations and to all fraternal orders, promoted mary rallies and patriotic gatherings at the little town of Hollis, erected a monument to the soldiers who serv in the world war, was a staunch advocate of good roads and better schools and was happy over the' , fact that he lived to see many of: hi; dreams come tine. Mrs. Withrow was honored at one ! time ns representn--ve of Ruther-; ford county in the state legislature i which position he filled with trust and fidelity. He was prominent in church affairs, active in fraternal' nrd business organizations and held many offices too numerous to men-] tion. His Mother Hives. Mr. Withrow whs GO years of age. He was married to Miss Laura L. Hamrick who died last August a year ago, leaving two children Grady Withrow of Hollis, and Mrs. R. L. Thompson of Tate Springs, Term.

When Mr; Withrow's health fail ed, and the decline was more rapid after the loss of his beloved com panion, he turned the store over to his son Grady who has continued to operate it. Mr. Withrow has since been somewhat retired but he never Inst his youthful spirit, maintain ing his interest in his friends and all uplifting causes. #Ie sought the best medical attention in an effort to regain his health, but bis once strong, robust body gradually with ered under the physical rroumes with which he was afflicted. The news of his death is learned with deep sorrow in Cleveland and Rutherford counties where no was best known. The funeral and in terment takes plae* at Big Springs Baptist church this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, the services conduct ed by the pastor, Rev D. G. Wash - burn and others. A great crowd will no doubt gather to pay a tri bute of respect to the beloved “merchant prince.” Mrs. Cabaniss Died Today At 2 O’Clock Mrs. Wm. Cabaniss died this afternoon at 2 o’clock. Mrs. Cabaniss suffered a stroke of ?paralysis about tin days ago and since that time her condi tion has been very desperate, prowing worse from day to day. Mrs. Cabaniss died at her home on N. Morgan street where she lived with her daughters, Misses Georgia and Kans Cabaniss. Funeral ar rangements had not been learned. Prisone* 5 Treated So Well On Gang They Cry To Stay When Time Is Up Washington. X. C., Nov. Prisoners on the county cha; receive such fine treatment w custody of the officers thai 24.— ngang hile in : they cry with regret when their term of | confinement expires. Some of them ; actually beg to be allowed to re ! main on the gang a little while ' longer. This information was re pealed in the report made this morning by the grand jury to Judge It. A. Nunn, who is pr^fid . iug over the November tefm of su ' peri or court. The jury visited the ' chaingang- and their comment of what they found was as follows: “VVe have visited the county, | chaingang as a committe and found ^ everything in good shape. The prisoners, are in most eases, sorry to see the expiration of their sen tences. Therefore, we believe that they are being treated too good. Probably this is the first time in the history of North Carolina that a grand jury has brought it. such a report. Whether the prisoners en joy their penal servitude because of the edict recently enforced with re spect to the wearing of nigh; shirts was not brought out in the report. The fact remains, however, that many of the pr'soners are genuine ly sorry when their time is up and that in some instances they have asked to be allowed to .stay with the gang just a little longer. WYI1 Known Farmer of Lnwmlale FalFton Section Dies Shortly After Stroke. Alec A. Tony, well known farmer of the Lawndale com munity. died suddenly about 1 o’clock this afternoon while re turning to his heme front F^lls ton. His sudden death followed a stroke of paralysis just a short time before.

The deceased, who lived be tween Fallston and Lawndale, about three miles west of Fallston, was about 60 years of age, it is estimated, and is sur vived by his wife and nine chil dren, Furneral arrangements had not been made early in the aft ernoon when The Star was in communication with friends there. Yellow Bus And Car In Collision Some time between 7 and 3 o’clock Thanksgiving evening one of the big yellow passenger busses, operating between Shelby and Char lotte, and a Ford, driven by a negro man collided on the Kings Mountain highway beyond Buffalo bridge. Details of the smash were rather hard to secure this morn ing. However, it is understood, that a negro woman who occupied the Ford with two negr > men, was slightly injured and was given treatment at the hospital here, it is said. Her injuries, according to reports, are not serious. N'oiTe of the bus par-r.ence.ro or any of the others were injured, according to Officer Greet Ware, who also says that there was evidence of drink ing among the negroes. The car belonging to the negoes was badly smashed up, according to the officer, while one of the wheels on the big bus was knocked off. A Word From Ike About $100 Bill Deer Lea Wethers: We seed hit in the Star last weak whar sum feller u> Here at Casar give Sherif Logan r. one hundred do tier bill in payin’ of his taxes and I knowed everybody in the county would accuse me and Sal of being the ones who had that big bill, but we air run guilty you can tell the folks. Them thar hundred dollar bills is the kind that we generally have our pockets full of, but this year our taxes wuz jist exactly 16 1-2 cents. Our tax is mostly income tax. We do own a c-ouple of dogs and under ordinary circumstances we would have paid tax on them, but me and Sal both swore that they hadn’t treed a possum in over 14 years, so the Sheriff exempted them fur the sake of the eggs they have sucked in days that air gone; Sa, while we air all proud of the fact that the biggest bills in the county is tu be found at Casar. yit. me and Sal air in no way respon sible fur hit being that way.

Austin, known to liis friends a “Red’ Austin. Inst night. “And that man is mvself. The guards at the State prison may he afraid of Otto, hut. besides not being afraid of him, 1 am Hurting for hint. I want to see him.” Austin is the roan who married Mrs. Wood after she had secured a divorce from Otto, the “had man of Western Carolina,” when he was seat .to the penitentiary for killing A. W. Kaplan. the Greeted-to pawnbroker, in 1023. Austin lives with his parents at 414 Monmouth ; street, this city, hut is working at Pine Hall. 25 miles from the city,! being employed by the 1.. L. Tin dall Paving company. He is 25 years of age and looks- every inch ' a man. Wife Granted Divorce After Otto had gone to State j pVison Mrs. Wood sued for divorce land was granted it by Forsyth j Superior court. On December (1 two years ago Austin and Mrs. Wood were married and they now have! one child 11 months old. Austin met Mrs. Wood at the coal store; of Otto’s brother, J. A Wood, on Coal street, he living nearby and doing his trading there. The two; children from the union of Otto] 'and Mrs. Wood are living at the | home of J. A. Wood. Mrs. Austin is now critically ill with typhoid fever at Lawrence! | hospital in this city, having been, ] there for the past 20 days. She was living with Mr. Austin at I Pine Hall when taken ill and was taken to the hospital. Mr. Am tin I coming in every few day? to see' I her. But yesterday he read in the: ; papers that Otto was out again; land so he came in not only to see f Mrs. Austin but to rce Otto if he { I happened to be about here. Threats Alleged About a year ago Otto made ! one of hist numerous escapes from ' prison and came here obviously j hunting his former wife and Mr. Austin, who were at the time in Danville where Mr. Austin was ! employed w4h a construction com pany. It is understood that Otto | stated freely that his former wife ; and her husband were hiding out ' from him and made numerous threats what he would do if he ! found them. And knowing that, ! Mr. Austin made a point to come j into the city last night as soon as 1 he learned Otto was out again, i But the courtship of Otto and ■ Miss Rusjiey Ilayes in Wilke county reads like a page out of the I book of fiction. At that time Otto I was weaving the threads of life as j automobile thief, holder-Up of fill ing stations, and general desper ado. He was spreading all over Northwestern Carolina a mortal fear of him as did Jesse Janies in the years of long ago.' Otto must have read the books on the manner of life led by the famous James brothers for he, like them, loved to ride up and down Boone trail cast ing fear in the hearts of officers and others alike. It is said that in some places people looked at t be setting sun with fear and trembl ing because Otto Wood might nass that way. Drove ( ost ly C ars But in his travels he met Miss ! Rushey Hayes, a member of one of Wilkes county’s most highly re spected families, one young wo man loved by all who knew her and known for her kindness of heart. A typical honest Wilkes county country girl. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Decatur | Hayes, of the Bella Plains section, i But just as natural as could be ! when the young dashing Otto, I this young Lothario who went ibftut in the height of fashion, ilrivir.tr the cars of the costliest molf, m his battle fur the hand of Miss Hayes she fell in love. It is said Otto made it a habit to ride all over the Della Plains section of Wilkes county every Sunday afternoon in every t vpe of ear known. When Mi s Hayes did not like the value of the car she was riding in Otto went out the following week and stole a black ©he. When she grew tired of the black car Otto would go out and steal a red one. When she did not like the runabout he would please the woman of his heart by stealing a big closed car. He saw to it that she rode in the finest cars that could be had in all Christendom. He never allowed her wishes to go unnoticed. He al ways saw to it that she got just what she desired along the matter of cars to ride in. “Traveling Salesman” And all this time be was tell ing her he was n "traveling sales man” seHinp the beat-known make of automobiles, and just as natural she believed what be told her. She never allowed the tear to trickle down her pillow fiver mortal fear of her lover. She listened to his fairy stories of his life and work and believed every word of them. Never for a moment did she doubt that Otto was the prince he paint ed himself to be. And never for a moment did she hear of his wild escapades for he managed warily to keep it all from her. In some manlier she never learned her sweetheart was the desperado he was; she never fount] out that the man she put her faith in was rid ing up and down the countryside stealing, holding up, robbing and keep other sections of the moun tain country in mortal fear of his presence. Came Here To Live The courtship went or until she finally married him and came to this city to live with him in the home of his people down on Coal street. And even then he was so shrewd and clever in his criminal manipulations that he kept it all from her. She was the last to hunt the truth. She kept faith burning always in her heart and soul for the man she had given her all for. She had gone down through the shadows for him the exper iences that made a woman love the man she calls her husband anil her all. Two little children graced the home and her life was wrapped up in them. She never knew what took Otto away from home so oft en. Little did she know he was on expedition of theft. Hut one day the storm that had been brewing broke in all its fury over her head. Otto had slain his fellow man. He had taken the life of a Greensboro pawnbroker, and the State demand ed his in return. He was tried and convicted and sent to the State Prison and after he had gone to pay the State for the crime she began to learn the whole truth of his past life. She soon asked the courts to free her of this bondage and it gave her a complete di vorce. She's Happy Now In the course of time she met "Red” Austin, who treated her kindly. A warm friendship grew up and in a short time it ripened into a love affair that has not ended yet. They were married two years ago and have one little baby. They live happily together Now that Otto is again away from the penitentiary he is ex pected by many to come back to his old haunts and Austin is not running away from him; is not fearing the presence of this des perado but calmly awaits his coming.

Took Taxi Here. Some years ago a young woman, not so hard to look at in- street par lance, approached a taxi driver here and employed a car for a mo tor jaunt in the Boiling Springs section. Somewhero along the way the young lady asked the driver.to get out and get her a drink of j water. The driver complied nrtdi about the time h > got to the ground j his passenger threw the car into! high gear and departed in a cloud of dust, leaving the driver to find his way afoot to Shelby. Several hours later officers here were told of the episode on3*\tie search be gan. home weeks, or months later, the i bobbed-haired passenger was foui.il at a tourist camp in Tennessee with several friends—and according to allegations, several cars. In the court proceedings that followed the young woman was also connected with a car missing from Charlotte. A man from Gaston county was al so brought into the affair. After furnishing several amusements in the local court room the town’s re presentative of the bobbed-haired bandit—at a time when such were popular—a lengthy sentence in prison was passed. The parole—one of the State's Thanksgiving gifts—is the conclu sion of that chapter. bheiby Girl Marries A New York Boxer Gaffney Ledger. Dr. Cecil V. Cook, pastor of the. First Baptist church, is building a with' reputation among the pugi listic fraternity as a “marrying pardon,” it seems. Not long ago he performed the ceremony that united Phil! Kaolin, a heavyweight, of Richmond, Ya mal a Shelby girl. Monday he was called on to tie the knot for John Seoni, oT' New York, and Miss Lena Mode, of Shelby. Scofli is a N> .cr also. Mr. and Mrs. Kaplin accompan ied the bride and groom, the party being en route from Miami to New York. Gin Cut Cotton v Worth Much Less A well known cotton buyer of ' Shelby says it is astonishing to know the amount of gin-cut cotton which is being offered on the mar ; ket. This kind of cotton has a very ! low value ami sometimes it is hard | to find a buyer at any price be | cause when it is opened in tisc ! picker room of a mill, all of it goes j into the moat heap and is wasted Farmers should guard against hav i ing cotton ginned while it is wet. j It is all right to pick wet cotton, [but it should be put in a dry place and allowed to dry completely be r fore it is ginned. Stained cotton does have a market, but buyers shun gin cut cotton and hardly want it at any price. This important matter should be remembered by farmers at this sea son of the year when weather is bad. Keep wet-cotton away from the gin and remember that stained : staple is worth much more than 1 cotton. Misses Katherine and Margaret Shelby of Gastonia were guests of Misses Evelyn and Sara Jane Adams on Monday evening. Mr- Plea-ant Foster, farm-.] er living in the Beulah see-: tion of Cleveland county near Kings Alot-nta-n, died in the Shelby Hospital Thursday morning about 10 o'clock as a result of an injury sustained when he.was kicked in the ab domen by a plow handle. Mr. hosier was plowing in his field last Tuesday whan the plow point caught under a stubborn root from a tree, causing the jjlow handle to lift and kick him in the abdomen. For awhile it was thought t&e injury was not serious, but se vere pain and dangerous symptoms developed and he was rushed to the Shelby Hospital Wednesday. An oper ation was found imperative and this revealed that his in testines had been perforated by the injury. Mr. Foster died about If o’clock Thanksgiving day an< his remains were taken to his home near Kings Mountain, He is a man 65 years of age and owns his own farm. He was well liked in his commun ity. A wife and tv o or three children survive. His remains were huriec this Friday afternoon at the Hullender grave yard in No. i township.
