Spring Grind Federal Term Closed Today l nitcd Stater Court Moves Docket l ast. I wo Atlanta Sentences Meted Out. •Judge E. Y. Webb and his Feder al court machinery continued to move at the usual rapid rate lieie this week with the result that the local docket was completed in one and one-half days, court adjourn i ing at 11 o’clock today. The court during the short ses sion however disposed of near 59 cases, among which were numerous jail sentences and a large number of fines. The main portion of the docket was devoted to liquor law viola tions, the fines going to those mak ing their debut in the Federal court and the sentences, especially those to Atlanta, being meted out to old offenders. lwo io Al.unta. The clerk’s record shows that twc defendants were sent to the Feder al prison at Atlanta for terms of one year and a day. M. C. Cash, better known as “One Wing” Cash received the well known Atlanta to/m for his con nection with the sale of narcotics, the charge coming up from Gaston county. Max Huffman, an offender, for the third time, received a simi lar sentence for retailing. Prohibition Works Here. In discharging the juries today Judge Webb remarked that the execution of dry laws in this dis trict rated “A-l”, adding that pro hibition laws were better enforced at few places in America. Money Wr.; No Good. One defendant who drew a jail term brought enough money along to "pay out”—a term oft heard in the blockading fraternity—but for once money proved of lottle value The fellow’s original sentence was four months in jail and a fine of $500, or eight months without a fine. After calculating a bit the de fendant took the eight months, ap parently believing the four extra months of his time could not be worth $500. However, when the prisoner was sent to jail he turned SC75 over to officers to be kept fcr him, leaving the impression that he had come to Shelby with the inten tion of “paying out.” J. Y. Jordan, of Asheville, re cently appointed clerk by Judge Webb, handled the official docu ment of the two-day grind, being assisted by Deputy E. S. Williams, the veteran clerk of the Charlotte office. T. J. Harkins, named dis trict attorney recently by the Shel by jurist, acted as prosecutor as sisted by Messrs. Patton and Kind ley. Deputy Marshals W. F. Swann and E. H. Davis acted as marshals. _— Once Reported Rum Makers But Draws Term For Himself 75-Year-Old Man Caught At Still Working. Intended To Report It, He Says. A 75-year-old man who has in his day reported one or two “stills” to officers was nabbed some time back helping start a run himself and the result is that he’ll spend 30 days in the Burke county jail. The reporter turned defendant faced Federal court here yester day. Officers stated that the aged fellow had in the past reported a still or so, but evidence introduc ed did not sufficiently explain why he was working at the most rec ent plant. His statement was that lie intended hanging about until he learned the names of the other men—but the still was only a few hundred yards from the old fel low’s home and the proximity of the mountain dew plant did noi, strengthen his cause. The formal sentence of the court was a fine of $50, or a term of 30 days in his home county jail. The old fellow took the 30 days, the money being scarce. Blacksburg Mayor Has Been Acquitted Gaffney.—Shortly after the Spring term of General Sessions court opened here Solicitor I. C. Blackwood nol prosed perjury charges against Mayor Charles Baber, of Blackburg, and Dr. D. S. Ramseur, of Blacksburg. The charges were preferred a few weeks ago by John F. Cline, of Blacksburg, ope of the principal figures in the J. L Goodson as sault case tried at the November term of court. Mayor Baber and Dr. Ramseur were witnesses for Mr. Goodson. Mr. Cline chargeu them with giving false evidence. I Shopgirls Like ! Mrs. Coolidge . d. >~v.

She makes up her mind; <]ti*«Xl.v and the clerks and shop girls like to wait on her.

HIGHS EVEN GAME WITH STRONG TEAM, TWO MORE COMING] Locals Defeat Kings Mountain Here 6 to 5 in Hood (!■ me. Two (James 't his Week. Despite a cool snap that made the weather more r.ivorable for fo t! hall than baseball seperal hundred! fans witnessed the 6 to 5 victory of Shelby over Kings Mountain at the bills mill grounds Tuesday after noon. The victory by the Highs evenedj the count with the strong Kings Mountain nine, rated as about the strongest in this section of the state. To date the Highs list stands: Two victories and one defeat. The loss was to Kings Mountain anil the victories were over Kings Moun tain and Charlotte. 1 wo More uames. Thursday afternoon, tomorrow, the Highs take on Cherry ville her* according to the schedule. With the game Tuesday giving fans a taste of their major pastime the crowds for Thursday’s game are expected to be even larger. On the following Saturday Charlotte comes here for a return contest and by t\at game Coach Morris expects to have his team working smoothly and near mid season form. The game Tuesday was marred by early season misplays and fumbles, the lack of training being assisted in contributing bobbles by the weather. Both teams fielded rather loose ly, the errors running up in the teens. However, the opposing hind ers worked well and their defense tightened irf the pinches with the result that no large score resulted and the outcome was in doubt un til ‘be end of the contest. The hitting and fielding of Tom my Kerr, Snelby second sackev, and the brilliant fielding of Hord, lashy Kings Mountain shortstop, and the hitting of Falls were fea tures of the game. Hughes, a porl sider, and ‘Dutch’ Whisnant, Shel by’s old reliable cleanser, were the opposing moundsmen. Both were relieved late in the game the fa mous “Skeeter” Skates taking up the Kings Mountain burden and carrying it remarkably well, while Moore took the mound for Shelby with three on and none out ami hurled himself out of a bad hole.

F. daft and Co.> Cotton was quoted on New York exchange at 11 o’clock today: March 13.78; May 13.97; July 14.16; Octoben 14.32. New York,, Mar. 23.—-Liverpool 12:15 p. m. May and July 2 Amer ican point-, better than due, October as due. Southern weather last night clear, except rain in eastern Geor gia, forecast eastern and central belt part cloudy. Memphis special to Journal >f Commerce says cotton sales have fallen off 23 per cent but there is no pressure on the part of owners or weakening of the basis except on very low grades. Seeding is be ing delayed because of heavy rain j and much of the lowlands in Ar kansas and Mississippi are under water. Fair business in Worth street, prices firm. Southern spot markets 25 down, sales 15,000 bales. Weakness yesterday appeared to be due to a let up in trade demand and not enough speculation to ab sorb Southern offerings. The gen eral situation, however, is not bear ish at this price and conservative purchases on reactions should show profits later. You will find it hard to imagine after believing everything that the French said about the Ger mans during the war, but, it is a fact, that new commercial relations between the two countries are favorable. ^AV.V.'.W.V.W^JVU%%V.SV 121 Years Congress \ Gathers In Shelby \ Vv ith Three Solons | ww.wv.w.-.vuwvw.v^ \ isitora to Federal court there Tuesday had the unusual }privilege of seeing the man "ho has represen.ed their dis trict in Congress for 21 and two thirds years—except that they saw three men instead of one. They were Judge E, Yates Webb, Attorney Clyde R. Hoey, and Congressman A. I,. Bulwinkle. The three gentle men represented this district in Congress since hack in the days of 1905. Judge Yates Webb was in the body of solons for 14 years, Mr. Hoey for 20 months and Mr. Bulwinkle for six years. The terms were con secutive. The tirst of the trio was presiding over the court, the second was one of the barris ters appearing in court, and the third was “visiting about" as congressmen some time do between sessions—that is, when they go hack for more than one session. Paper Thinks People Will Put Aus tralian Ballot Over With Gard ner Champion in Office. “Could the voters had had their ; say North Carolina would now have ! an Australian ballot,’’ is the opin I ion frequently broadcast over the I state since the recent election. Should the voters of North Car olina elect O, Max Gardner ns theii next governor will that mean thej tfavor the Australian ballot? Ap ! parently so, according to the Will I ston-Salem Journal, which remeni , bers that Gnrdnei is one of the few ■ open champions of better election laws. Whether or not Gardner will bring in the Australian ballot dur : ing his campaign is not known. However the Journal commenting on the ballot and the election of 1928 says: “If the voters could only have opportunity to settle the Austra lian ballot by popular vote, they would show the politicians how a vast majority Of our citizens feel about it,” says the Biblical Record er, and adds: ‘How long an auto cratic minority will be premitted to stifle public opinion we do not know.’ “As the Journal sees it, there is one and only one immediate hope for the Australian ballot i:i North Carolina. That hope is per sonified by O. Max Gardner. He is on record in favor of a fair ballot. The only measure he asked the legislature to enact this year the Australian ballot bill. “Mr. Gardner is going to be a candidate for governor. We take it that one of his principal issues will be the right of citizens to vote as they please without anybody to mo lest or to make them afraid at the polls. His nomination and elec tion will be tantamount to endorse ment of the Australian ballot by the voters of North Carolina. “In other words, if Mr. Gardner sticks to his guns, in 1928 the peo ple will have an opportunity to do precisely the thing the Biblical Re corder would like to see done in North Carolina—‘to settle the Australian ballot by popular vote’.” *New station In Charlotte For P & N Charlotte, Mar. 22.—The city of Charlotte sold to the Piedmont ifc Northern railway a tract of 14.07 acres of land on which to erect a new passenger station and yards The city commission today author ized Mayor Abernethy to sign the deed. The plan for a new station Is part of the plans of the road for ex tension of its electric lines from Charlotte to Lexingcon, it was said. This portion of the route has not yet been approved by interstate commerce commission Approval has been given, however, for at. extension from Spatanburg, S. C., to Gastonia, this state. New York which usually laughs at the “hick” towns, propose to padlock theatres to stop indecent plays. If a small town proposed the same remedy you would find the smart alecs in the metropolis writing about the provincialism of the inhabitants of the small towns. Changes In Auto Laws To Become Effective April 1 W ill Be Violation To Coast Downhill By Throwing Gears Into Neutral. Hard On Drunken l)ri\ ers. Shelby and Cleveland county motorists, some several thousand in number, should pet acquainted with several new auto laws prior to the first of next month. A score or more of important changes in the state automobile laws were enacted by the last session of the General Assembly, many of which will work to make driving on North Carolina high ways faster, yet more safe, ac cording to a summary of new laws. Most of the laws become effec tive April 1, although those con cerning license plates are not ef fective until July 1. After April 1, it will be a viola tion of the law for a motorist to coast down grade hv throwing gears into neutral. Drivers con victed of reckless driving are sub ject to a fine of $26 t'o $500 or im prisonment of five to 00 days. Penalties are to be doubled for second violations. Harder on Drunks. The drunk driver is to l>e sum marily dealt with under the new law. Persons convicted of driving while intoxicated are to he pun ished by imprisonment for from 30 days to one year, or a fine of $100 to $1,000, or both. Second of fenders are punishable by impri sonment of not less than 90 days. The speed limit on State high ways is increased from 35 miles to 145 miles an hour, and hand sig ) nals must be given for stopping, starting, or turning to right or left. The law prohibits signs or stickers of any description being pasted on the windshield, or the side br rear windows of automo biles. The railroad stop law was re pealed. but the State highway corn-mission was given power to designate certain crossings where it still will be in effect. The com mission wns also given (lower to designate stops at certain inter sections or entrances to the high ways. The maximum weight of vehi cles was limited to nine tons and the width of vehicles to 03 inches and inspectors were given the right to inspect trucks or loaded automobiles at any point and to order the unloading of excess weight. Rear Lights. All vomcies are required to carry rear lights, although horse drawn vehicles may carry reflec tors which are approved by the State Automobile department. The Highway department was given the right to test lights on all cars and issue a lest certificate, which the law provides must be carried at all time*. The lights must not sho-w a glare above a height of 42 inches at 75 feet. Effective July 1. plates will be issued for six months and on Jan uary 1. 1928, plates good for one year will be issued for one year, thereby putting the license sys tem on the calendar year basis. The new tags will follow the car, instead of being issued to the owner as at present. License fees are modified, placing automobiles I of 25 horsepower or less in the $12.50 class. At present this class I embraces only cars of ?4 horse power or less. In changing the li cense year, a fee of 25 cents will be charged for the six-month li cense plate to cover the cost. The laws also provide that reg istration cards be attached to the J instrument board of each car and | that the State shall issue a spe j cial holder for these cards, for which a fee of 50 cents is charged. The state gives the motorist the card. Indiana Sassafras Farmer In 63rd Year As Herb Merchant; Business Dying Out (By International News Service) Bloomington, Ind.— Despite the fact that the younger generation does not know the taste of sassa fras tea as a blood tonic, Henry Deming, 73, a merchant in that herb since he was ten years old, is busy here with the spring trade. But sassafras is a doomed line of endeavor, it appears. When Deming was a boy, most people began taking sassafras tea about the time they took off their extra heavy underwear. It was all a part of the budding season. Now only the very old people use it and believe in its powers as a blood purifier. Nevertheless, Deming and his son, who is growing into the busi ness, strive to increase their range in drumming up customers, having added an automobile to bring the medicinal roots from the wilds of this county to the homes of cus tomers. DAIRY EXPERTS TO ELUTE ONUS Raleigh.— (INS)—North Caro- . lina dairy specialists are trying to take the onion flavor out of milk. Dairymen, according to these experts, are ruining their butter by turning their cows into onion infested pastures at this time of j year. According to John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at State College, several tubs of creamery butter were shown him recently which had to be sold cheap to renovating plants, all because the butter had an onion flavor. Wild onions, Arey declared, are the first plants to appear in the pastures at this time of year, and the onion flavor makes the butter unsalable. Here is the specialist’s remedy: Take the cow off the pasture at least six hours before milking time, place them in a lot or barn, and feed them plenty of rough age. Raleigh.—(INS)—It is up to every one of the 100 counties of the state to appoint a county ac countant on or before April 1. County commissioners of the counties were notified of this to day by Dr. E. C. Brooks, chair man of the county government advisory commission. The county gove<;jtment reform bills, enacted at the 1927 session of the General Assembly, provide for the appointment of a county account, among many other things. Five outstanding “musts” are: 1. Appointment of a county ac countant—which may be the coun ty auditor—on or before April 1. 2. That a county budget be made before July 1. 3. That an estimate of the needs of each governmental de partment be made on or before June 1. 4. That the budget must be adopted by the fourth Monday in July. 5. That taxes sufficient to pro duce the amount of revenue nec essary to meet the budget must be levied by the first Wednesday after the third Monday in August. EMERGENCY JUDGES IN ACTION BY LATE FALL Raleigh, (INS.)—North Caro lina’s four newly-appointed emerg ency judges may not see action un til late in the fall, according to Governor McLean. The emergency judge act, passed by the 1927 legislature does not go into effect until May 1, the gover nor pointed out, and then 20 days' notice is required to be given be fore a special term is held. About all that remains of the Irish Free State is the suit going on in Newr York to see who can get the $2,000,000 on deposit in its name there. How Many Steps Up To Your Mail? When you journeyed to the postoffice this morning how many steps did you go up from the street level to reach the postoffice door? You've, likely been walking r up those steps daily for sev eral years now—surely you know. The question is one of the 10 asked in Around Our Town’s question box today. Perhaps some of the others will be harder, or maybe eas ier. They’re worth taking a trial at anyway. Look them up and see what grade you are able to make before con sulting the answers. TRAIN LOAD OF COTTON SEED OIL Largest Single Shipment of Oil Made from Cleveland County Cotton Seed. 22 Cars. A train load of 22 tank cars of cotton seed oil, made from Cleve land county cotton seed, was ship ped from the local plant of the Southern Cotton Oil company a few days ago to Bayonne, New Jer sey, where it will be manufactur ed into Snowdrift lard and Wesson Cooking oil for the use of house wives throughout «7ie country. J. F. Jenkins, local manager says each car contained 00,000 pounds and brought eight and a half cents per pound or a total of $112,200.00 for the twenty-two tank cars full. This was the lurgest shipment ever made from tht> local plant but represents only a part of a sea son’s output. The large shipment was occasioned by a lack of stor age space at Bayonne, New Jersey. The oil company owns its own tank cars and these were placed on the siding here where they were filled and kept in storage until ample storage room was available at Bay onne, N. J. Since the oil from cotton seed has been put to the commercial use of shortening cotton seed represents a very valuable part of the cottoi crop. Raw seed this year have com manded a much better price than cotton in proportion. FROM PRISON TO PRIZE BING HOPE OF H BUTLER Charlev Mnngum Has Ambition To Rice From Obscurity To Fame. (By Henry Lesesne, INS Staff Correspondent Raleigh.—From obscurity to fame, from prison cell to the prize ring. That’s the ambition of CharW Mangum, State Prison’s pride and champion mauler. And it isn’t altogether a day dream. The fact is. the vouthful orison fighter is going to be put through a training program shortly with just this as an aim. Mangum. Tust turned 21. has de monstrated bfeyond all doubt that he can hit. He has knocked out one budding Carolina champion, and has fought to a draw with two others. The fights were held out nt State Prison for the bene fit of the institution’s variegated population. Already ne nas ariraeiea me attention of ‘local Tex Rickards and nlans are now under way to nut him under the tutelage of none other than Bob Martin, for mer Allies champion and now box ing instructor down at Ft. Bragg. However. Mangum just now is suffering from a very bad hand. It was broken recent’f when be fought ten gruelling rounds with Kid Hauser, Carolina boxer, to a draw. Jimmy Briggs, III, of Raleigh, Mangum’s trainer-manager, does not think it will be advisable for Mangum to get into action for several weeks yet and Ms train ing under the Army instructor nrobablv will not begin until late in April. Martin will put the prison legal assaulter through two Aill weeks of stiff training. This, Briggs believes, will put Mangum in A-l shape for a clash soon with some formidable opponent, pos sibly a whack at the middleweight crown. Mangum’s next opponent has not been selected yet, and Mana ger Briggs is keeping an eye peeled for some real fighter to come down and give the prison population its fourth fistic exhibi tion. Mangum, who hails from Wake Forest, has been punching a bag for a year or so. He was some thing of an amateur wrestler be fore he was sent un for two vears and a half on a highway robbery charge. But when someone thought up the idea of staging boxing ex hibitions at the prison, Mangum was the first to volunteer tu un dergo the punishment. It did not take him long to annex the name of the gamest man in the prison, and he has been the Stella at traction ever since.
