Morganton, Mar. 26.—Convicted of manslaughter for the slaying of | Paul Gibbs, whose body was found when the snow melted early in the j month. Pink Mull was today sen | tenced to serve nc> less than two ; and not more than three years in ! the state prison. Alone in the courtroom when the decision of the jury was an i nounced. Mull heard it and the suh 1 sequent sentence with the same lack I of emotion which has marked his ! demeanor throughout the trial. I After the verdict was returned, before sentence had been passed, N. J. Hatcher chief of counsel for the convicted man, told the court that he was confident "the right man had not been caught,” and that, later disclosures would free Mull, against whom the evidence was circumstantial. The court had j already instructed the jury that evi I f*ence submitted did not warrant first degree consideration, as had j be^n asked by the state. The body of Gibbs was found 'n Mull’s yard two days after his death during which time the heavy snow of the first of March had fal len. Mull testified at the trial that he had heard a noise the night Gibbs was slain, and had gone to door with his gun, firing in the air to scare off intruders. Gibbs had been frequent visitor at the Mull home, calling on the convicted man’s stepdaughter. Offers Remedy For Lunirs On The Feet Of Chickens, Etc. T. J. Alexander, well known in Cleveland county, now living r.t Gaffney, S. C\, has written The Star, enclosing a o'. -gram showing how to build a feed boy so fowls can get a foot bath in kerosene which will prevent lumps or knots forming on the feet. Mr. Alexan der says these knots or lumps are caused from a germ that gets un der the scales. He finds that kero sene, well applied, will kill the germs and thus prevent ,the lumps i forming. Hence he has devised a feed box, very simple and inexpen sive to make which will compel the fowls to stand on kerosene and gel a foot bath while they are eating He suggests a plain box about 24 inches wide by 36 inches long. Along one should be made a feed trough. The"aides and nack are high so the fowls must approach the trough from the open side to get to the feed trough along the back side. The kerosene vat is made of galvanized iron plate, turned up around the edges and riveted and soldered so it will not leak. It sets j on strips about the size of plaster laths. Fowls may shy for awhile on: entering the box, so don’t put in i the kerosene until you have fed them awhile from the box. Set in a dry place so rain will not fall in it. Mr. Alexander would like to see poultrymcn try out his idea and report to him the success that is bound to follow. Representatives from over forty different schools and col leges are under contract to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios.

DANCING WHILE DRUNK ON WANE IN INDIANA (By International News Service) Indianapolis, Ind.— After dancing with the Indiana col legians at several varsity par ties, George L. Winkler, In diana Federal prohibition en forcement chief, is willing to swear that the quaint custom of dancing while drunk is on the wane. “I attended dances at both Indiana and Purdue Universi ties recently and I am glad to say I didn’t even smell liquor at either dance," Winkler said. “Neither did Miss Ardery, my secretary, who also _went to the dances." Winkler said that drinking among students has decreased four-fifths within the last few years. - /IT THE MOVIES - This will be red letter week ,at j the Webb theatre, with three bixr specials booked in. One of these—! “Just Another Blonde” starring I Dorothy Mackaill, Jack Mulhall, William Collier, jr., (son of the j great comedian) and Louise Brooks —is due today. Tomorrow “Stella Dallas" withj Belle Bennett and Ronald Colman— one of the year’s big super spe-1 ciuls is coming: And Thursday the inimitable Colleen Mooro in ‘Orchids and Er mine.’ “Stella Dallas" is one of the best pictures of the year. It is what is' called a human picture—the en-; foldment of a life drama—an emo ■! tional picture filled with scenes and crises that grip the heart. If you want to “live* through an hour and a half of fine drama—don”t mist seeing this one. “Just Another Blonde” is an ex-1 cellent comedy drama, played by a group of the screen's best stars,! headed by the bright and attractive Dorothy Mackaill. Kvelyn Brent i:i a “Broadway; Lady" is a biff, spectacular and highly entertaining dramatic pic ture offered today at the Princess. Tomorrow < no of the very best of | comedies is coming—Wallace Beery in the old classic “Casey at the Bat’ The two pictures are striking in contrast. “A Broadway Lady'' is a section of life cut from old Broad way—the gay way. “Casey at the But’’ is a screaming funny farce, built around the old poem of the Babe Ruth of a former day who fanned out in a big pinch. Here’s a key paragraph describ ing “A Broadway Lady”: The Ham ing idol of old Broadway—here at last to thrill you in a mighty drama of drifting souls in New York’s far famed thoroughfare of lights and lost hopes. Ford Sterling and Zasu Pitts are in the cast of “Casey” ’ with Beery. The scene or the farce is a small town not far from New York; time about a quarter of a century ago.

One of the biggest hauls was in Lincoln county in the Bethpage section where he said he destroyed a 40-gallon distillery and 100 gallons of apple pomace The still was in full operation. Seventeen quarts of home brew was taken from the home of one Stowe Hoyle in Lincointon. Assisting Mr. Houser in these raids were Deputies Tom Sweezy and Plato Ledford, of Cleveland county and, for part of the time. Chief Clay Kiser of Cherryville. Thursday the party destroyed 2,200 gallons of beer in the Van Horn Ford section of Burke coun ty. COTTON MARKETS (By Jno. F. tiaft and Co.)

Price says in reference to cotton: “The ease with which the largest crop on record has been disposed of pro vides an argument for higher prices that will be almost irresis- j tible if next seasons crop is a mod erate one and very high prices might be seen if a really small j yield is threatened.’’ COUNTY REFORM BILLS NOW BEING PLANNED Raleigh.—(INS)—Plans are go ing forward here to put the three j county government reform bills: enacted by the 1927 Legislature in operation by early April. The 100 counties of the state will be aided in putting the county fiscal control act into effect by the county advisory commission.

The accountant will be requir ed to submit estiiXtes for the maintenance of the various coun ty governmental departments. These will have to be turned in early next month. J PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE MAN OF FAITH Optimiam. Hospitality And Bene volence Were Marks In Character Editor Star: While longer and abler tributes will be offered to commemorate the experience of the recent fall en Prince in Isruel—allow me to 1 tender a sincere eulogy. Like nil other mortals, he never attained human perfection; but his failliee and foibles should be remembered against him no more. The outstanding characteristics of the late J. A. Anthony were op timism, hospitality and benevol ence. No call of distress ever went unheeded; and he never looked for the doom of disaster. His hand and heart were alike open to J every call manly, and no instanc j | was he ever unresponsive. In some i a ways, his life was a model, an In- i a spiration and ;t benediction. He * could never lie claimed by th • calamity howlers; but his voice ^ was one of cheer and encourage mont and he kept his face toward! * the land of the morning: | • While never rieh in the fruits j of Mammon, he used his means to > educate his family and his counsel J and example to stimulate and rn- t courage others. I never heard hint j complain of being sick nor sow the j: frown of discouragement on his 11 features. He rounded out his al- * lotted three score and ten. and I left a record of good works as a , school teacher, a zealous church j worker, a useful member of the i order of which the symbol is the j square, the compasses, the symbol of geometry and the trestle board. His taking was u sudden shock and surprise; but u was better to be called in possession of his fac i utilities than to hecome a pulling, j doddering spectacle of gibbering.) querulous second childhood. Let us hope that in considern-1! j tion of his good fight against the ! world, the flesh and the devil— that he is called to the realm j where the rainbow never fades and where the stars set as sentinels of radiant beauty around the Great Wfhite Throne. M. L. WHITE. Not every man that goes to church is a saint; but the batting average of the pew holders is well above that of the men on the Btreet. Oil is not peaceful in Mexico. Haiti, it seems, wants no King. Not every harmonious gather ing accomplishes anything. No, Pauline, The Star, does not please everybody.

It does not fluctuate, and it it not subject to the rise and fall of mar kets or other conditions. SECOND. It can be made an in come-producing asset, not idle, but working constantly for you. It is a reflection upon the thrift and the good sense of our people to suggest that they do not need a bank account. What they do need is to become better acquainted with this good bank and its modern banking methods. Remember that this is a strong bank with sufficient resources — that is, available money—with which to meet all demands for a helpful and satisfac tory banking service. First National Bank SHELBY, N.
