C. McNEELY CO. FIGHTING HIGH! FOR 14 Hi HE | HOOT GET OUT FREE Correspondent.) I Phoenix, Ariz.—Having staked” life against liberty, and lost his1 toss, with death -in the state su- J preme court, William Faltin, see-, tenced to hang 14 years ago for murder, but who has escaped the hangman to date through a series of unusual circumstances, Is once | more hopeful of winning freedom j or death, since the supreme court . of the United Stutes has just dock- I eted his appeal for the fall term of court. Faltin was convicted of murder ing J. Peterson, an invalid, and sentenced to hang. Before the day of execution arrived, the prison superintendent, on his own initia tive. obtained a'sanity hoaring for Faltin. The latter was held insane I by a jury and committed to the ’ r.UUe asylum. While in that institu tion the people of Arizona, by ini tiative petition, repealed the death penalty. Later Faltin was declar ed sane and returned to the peni tentiary. The date fixed for his execution having long since passed the war den declined to hang him on the ground that he had no warrant so to do. The courts of original jur isdiction neglected or declined to issue another warrant of death fixing a new date for execution be cause of the repeal of the death penalty. Faltin continued a pri soner. Then, again by initiative, the people restored the death penalty. Kaltin’s attorneys, arguing that their client had never been sen tenced to life imprisonment, ap pealed to the state supreme court asking that Faltin be hung or freed, holding that restoration of the dea-h penalty could not be made retroactive. The supreme court agreed that the new hanging law could not be made retroactive but by the same token held the repeal of the death penalty, after Faltin’s con viction, did not act as a full par don for him and all other convicted | murderers sentenced to death, and ordered that the,court of original jurisdiction, or the governor, issue a new death warrant. Faltin had lost the toss with death. His attorneys have now appeal ed this decision to the Federal su preme court. Faltin’s case is the only one of its kind on record in the history of Arizona criminal jurisprudence. Will Save Great Figures Criticism ' (By Ihtemationll News Service.t L Stanford University, Cal.—Li censing of historians was advanced (today by Carl R. Fish, professor Fof history at the . summer school here, as a means of checking the recent attacks on great historical figures. According to Dr. Fish who holds the chair of American history at the University of Wisconsin, there are a few good biographies of American statesmen in print. Speaking of the great men of the past who have been presented to the public by biographers, the professor said, “Many of them are present as demi-gods and much or all that is common in their lives is true that many of the statements made by the “popular’ writers are facts, but they are misinterpret ed.” Doctor Fish pointed to Rupert Hughes’ “The Life of Washington” as an example of the modern me thod of writing the life story of great men. The fact that George Washington owned a still was dis counted by the historian who said that in Washington’s day it was neither against the law nor social ly improper. If it were against the law, Professor Fish said, Wash ington would not have a still in , his possession. “That is where Mr. Hughes was in error,” the savant said, “It is in similar ways that c-ther writers err; they fail to take into consid eration the vast differences in so cial usage between this time and that v»th which they are dealing. “These men are not trained his torians, and would not know how to tell the exact truth if they were so inclined. I think that it would be very well to require all histor ians to be licensed, for I consider the "recording of history as much of a profession as that cf law, medicine, or engineering.” WOMEN DOUBLE MEN AT SUMMER SCHOOL ■ Chapel Hill—The number of women attending the first term of the University summer school, which closed last week, almost doubled the number of'men enroll ed, according to figures given out from the' office of the registrar. The total enrollment for the first term was 1.684. Of these 1,011 e«ere women and 674 men. The college division of the summer school led in registration with 876. Four hundred and seventy-one register ed in the normal school division, and 313 were in 'he graduate school. Twenty-four were enrolled as special students in music. POtKIlE BORIS MEMisicwn; Corn Cracker Commend* the Mretli orn—Revival Cnder Way— ! Elliott Reunion Four i Saturday In August Editor Star: R- No. 5. Shelby, N. C., July 23, i1 1SJ27.—As is a mutter of common, knowledge, the people of Polkviile1 and adjacent territory arc frugal, industrious and prosperous. Three! stores are in this'village and all: are doing a prosperous business. The farmers of this region are! among the best in Cleveland County and we have no citizenship] that Solomon would condemn as'.' sluggards and refer to the ant for further instruction. Plans are un der way to build a high school here, and about all her young peo ple have been beneficiaries of a high school and some of a collegiate* education. The Polkville Southern Metho dist church building is a monument and an object lesson as to what can be done by cooperation. They! were unfortunate enough to losesj the framed church edifice by fire; but as several of the men compos-! ing the membership are carpenters! and brick masons—they built the most tasty, best arranged church- i building to be found in any rural j region in Cleveland County, and] they maintain a live church organi zation, an Epworth League, a most excellent Sunduy school; besides hpving fine music and church ser vices. At present they are having a series of meetings conducted Ly Rev. Mr. Yorke, of Altus, Oklaho ma. Good audiences attend and aj lively interest is manifested. Perhaps some reader will think this is an overdrawn pen picture; of local conditions but such is not! theicase. Being an invalid I am! active in no field of human en deavor. I didn't help build this magnificent temple of worship, for I was two hundred miles feom i here teaching school while build ing was in operation. I never have been distinguished as a success ful farmer nor a mechanic, nor has my bank account been of the bulg ing order. Of course' mine has been a hand to mouth existence, and now my earning capacity has suspended payment. Such being me case, an men or sons nt men Rifted with discernment are aware that there is no open door to the moneyless man. In churches, poli tical parties, the realms of educa tion and social activities, a poor man is supposed to keep his mouth shot. But 1 don’t obey orders, and am regarded with disfavor. Every utterance of Old Man Money-bags teems with wit and wisdom, no matter if he is stupid as Simple Simon; while a poor man can ut ter pearls of humor and wisdom ^miis condemned and derived as an lipstart. We have rich men in the United States Senate that are fourth class so far as brilliancy j is concerned and rank still lower; in real patriotism.' But those of their constituents who worship the gold of the calf hold them in: high esteem; for, verily, they know how to sell out and make a dazzl- ‘ ing financial deal. When they feel; like stealing something or killing! somebody they regard that as anj attack of patriotism. Elliott Reunion Another annual event to which 11 wish to here call attention, is The| Elliott Reunion. This is an insti-j tution aged about sweet sixteen, and is featured at Elliott church,' about fourteen miles northwest of Shelby, on what is known as the! Lincolnton and Rutherford road. The exercises consist of meeting in the grove near the church, eating a four-cornered meal at tjoon, drink ing ice-Water all day, talking to your sweetheart or the sweetheart of somebody else and keeping dumb as an oyster about politics. Whoso trieth to make a political harangue on that day shall be in danger of hell fire. Young people and faded wall flowers are expected to evoke! love’s young dream, and none shall molest nor make afraid. We don’t recognise any woman as an old maid; but for consolation of hon est-to-goodness bachelor girls we suggest this quantrain: “There never was a goose so sray but some day, soon or late— An honest gander came that way and took her for his mate.” This inspiring pastoral poem, ly ric, or whatever you want to call it—is original but not with me. While known as Elliott Reunion, hundreds of people come who are not Elliotts and are welcome as flowers in May. The dinner is the appealing feature and is some thing like “The Old Ship of Zion.” “She has landed many thousands yet there’s room for thousand* more.” Be there on the fourth Saturday in August, ‘1927. —.Corn Cracker.
