o’clock.
He had been in failing health tor1
nearly four years, although suffer- i
ing much he bore his affliction ;

According to statistics from the
State board of health there were

1926.
The death rate in adjoining coun
ties was as follows: ,Catawba,

Buncombe county had the high

the high death rate there, it is said '
Bonded Debt Of State More
Than 500 Million Dollars
i
| Chapel Hill.—(INS)—The bond*
etl debt of North Carolina—state,
I county, municipal, and special tax
| districts—is more than $500,000,000
; according to an article by A. J.
Maxwell, chairman or ine newly
I appointed State tax commission, i:
I the current number of the Univer
I sity News Letter.
According to Maxwell, the
I weighted average interest rate on
the county, municipal and local
! district debt is 5.320 percent. This,
he said, was too high considering
the safety of the investment and
the fact that the bonds are tax
free, or partially so.
Maxwell pointed out that a large
part of the public debt has been
incurred by officials with little or
no experience in handling bond
sales.and notes a number of weax-:
nesses in the existing order, con
sidering as the worst the fact that
many counties and munteipalities
are not accumulating funds wit;*
which to retire the bonds when they
shall come due.
As a remedy for these weak
nesses, Maxwell suggested the
adoption by the state of a State
bond and sinking fund commission
as the clearing house and controll
ing body to pass upon ail bond is
sues, to negotiate sales, and to
look after interest payments, sink
ing funds and other essential mat
ters.
The State tax commission, ot
which Maxwell is chairman, was
created by the 1927 legislature to
make a sweeping investigation of
tar systems in the State.
Gazette Editor Says All Facts
Were Presented. Says Webb
Version Was Robinson
Side.
The Gastonia Gazette which
was attacked this week by
Judge J. L. Webb for its criti
cism of him over the Conley
Robinson case, has “no ap
ology to offer” for its criti
cism according to an editorial
appearing in Tuesday’s Gaz.
ette following Judge Webb’s
denunciation of the paper.
“We have stated our opnion of
the affair and it still stands,” the
Gazette editor writes.
The editorial reply is headed
“The Facts Were Given” and reads
as follows:
With all due regpect to Judge
Webb and the courts. The Gazette
feels called on to enter a vigorous
denial of the charge of nvsropro
sentation of the facts in the Rob
inson case.
Judge Webb is quoted as saving,
with reference to a recent editor
ial in The Gazette relative to the
case:
“The editor of a newspaper
ought to be careful how he writes
about or criticizes the workings of
a court without having ip his pos-1
session all the facts of the case ”
said Judge Webb. “The editor
should have all the facts and should
lay them before the people so they
may judge whether justice has
been done or not.”
The Gazette maintains that all
the facts in the case had been
faithfullv and fullv presented >n
news articles in this pappr, both
before, during and after the trial.
It is admitted, of course that the j
whole thing was not rehearsed in
the course of the hundred-word
editorial referred to; that was]
man''fe<-Gv impossible. Besides!
od'.*orial comment is not supposed,
to be news. It is based on news ac
counts.
If we wprp rt'snosen fo argue the I
case with His Honor, Judge Web*’ |
might, rpsr)pr*f'il]v lnnuire of
him how much of the McGinn evi
dence was eited and rehearsed hv
him in his charge to the grand
jury here. His version and recital
of the “facts” were simply a re
hashing of the Robinson side of
the trial, as we see it.
Both the Associated Press and
the two Charlotte papers carried
full accounts of the Robinson af-!
fair from the night it happened,'
through the many delays and post- j
ponements, of the trial itself
which lasted two or three days and |
all the many and detailed side
lights. Nearly all this was car- i
ried in the news columns of The
Gazette and the facts were thor- 1
oughly familiar to Gazette read-1
ers. This paper did not suppress i
any of the facts and it is here and
now enters a denial of such.
That is as far as this paper ‘
cares to go with the case. We ,
have stated our opinion of the af
fair and it still stands, backed by
many expressions of commenda- ,
tion and approval from many
sources. We have no apology to
affer.

Wash Women Pay

life and dispensing of jus
tice as viewed in the mirror
' of the county court
This week a colored man
took on too much caned heat
and was really ‘“canned" by
' the officers. At the hearing
Judge Mull spoke as he us
ually speaks: “$10 and the
costs.” The witness didn’t
have the price, but from up
in the colored gallery came
a sound as a hefty colored
woman wended her way
down stairs and up the aisle,
, where she asked the solicitor
? “How much is dem costs?"
[ Getting the exact amount
j she extracted a hefty roll of
bills from somewhere in No
J Man’s land, paid up and took
’ the man home.
Several family washings
were no doubt represented in
the roll that dwindled to get
the canned heat drinker back
to freedom.
Often, court officials say.
the washer women foot the
bills of their more sprightly
and reckless lovers. Still, it
is said, gentlemen prefer
blondes.
GETS THREE CARS
IN DAY TO LAND
j IN COUNTY JAIL
I Man In Jr'l Charged With Triple
Larceny Cars. One r'ellow Leav
es Car In Hoad.
Kings Mountain this week has
been experiencing some visitations
from alleged ear thieves.
Chief Irvin Allen last night,
brought a young man to the jail
here for lodging while officers
continued the hunt for his pal.
Preliminary reports are that the
young fellow and his missing pal
will be connected with the theft of
three cars in a day and night if
the state can work up its case.
As the officers tell it a car was
stolen in Spartanburg Mor day.
Later in the day it was left at a
Gastonia garage. At that place the
thief took up with a Gastonia car,
and the second car was in turn
abandoned at Kings Mountain,
where the third car was picked up.
The Kings Mountain car, it is al- ,
leged, was abandoned back in
Spartanburg, where the first car
was taken. Spartanburg officers
are credited writh the arrest and j
the Kings Mountain officers j
brought the prisoner here for a
hearing in connection with the lar
ceny of the Kings Mountain car.
The preliminary will he held, it
is said, after a searen is made for
the fellow who accompanied the
man row in jail.
Had tiuilty l onsrience.
One auto driver roust have been
labor.eg under a guilty conscience
about midnight last night at Kings
Mountain, according to Deputy
Creel Ware. The officer says he
was riding up Railroad avenue
near midnight when he met u car
coming toward him, but upon sight
of the officer the driver suddenly
stopped the car, jumped from it
and “skiddoed,” as the officer put
H. The car was abandoned in the
middle of the street. After looking
about for a t me the officer push
ed the car over to the curb and
waited for the driver to show up.
As yet he is still missing. The re
sult is that Officer Ware has a
fairly good Chevrolet coupe on his
hands and the owner had not ap
plied for it this morning. It is sup
posed by the conduct of the miss
ing driver that the car was slolen.
An investigation, the officer says,
i wealed that the car had been
started without a key. One fender
was bent down over the wheel.

A. D. Brabble, popular proprie
tor of the Central hotel here and
one of the best known hotel man

THE TWINKLES.
Mr. B. T. Falls was a Gastonia
visitor on Wednesday on legal
business
(By Clem Whitaker, INS Staff
Correspondent.)
. Willows, Cal.—Sam Iieid, star
: boarder at the Glenn county jail,
world's champion “alimony mar
I tyr,” and a red-haired young man
j "ho has had quite a disturbing in
fluence on politics hereabout, is at
it again.
Not content with costing county
officials several thousand votes
and many sleepless night, Reid has
determined to reopen his crusade
for “freedom without concession”
1 by appealing to Governor Young.
Linking with his clemency pl< a
a request that the state make a
thorough investigation into the
reasons for his martyrdom, the 32
' year-old apostle of “equal rights
for men will petition the governor
for a full pardon.
j “Someone is acting loony in this
case, and I’m not the man,” Reid
told International News Service to
day. “A jury of alienists has ad
judged me perfectly sane. I can
and 1 won t pay. I can be free and
I won’t be free What’s the reason?
Surely it is time the state makes
an investigation before my board
bill mounts to the size of the war
: debt.”
Third Year In Jail
Reid, now entered on the third
year of his self-imposed impris
onment, is adamant in his resolu
tion not to contribute to the sup
port of his child while she is left
in the custody of his former wife,
who has re-married. He also stands
pat on his original challege of “Not
one cent for alimony,” but that
| feature of the celebrated case hns
| been solved by his ex-wife’s re
marriage.
i In this letter to Governor Young
I tht* “alimony martyr” declared he
j will present a complete review of
the famous case, which began in
February. ]‘I25, when Reid was
ordered by Superior Judge Claude
h. Purkitt to pay his former mate
for the maintenance of their child,
and refused. He will submit his
record as a Soldier overseas and
his record at home as a prosper
ous farmer. He will present evid
ence which he claims proves his
contention that his former wife
should not be entrusted with the
care of their daughter.
As further evidyce of his good
faith nem declared he will agree
to pay more than four times the
amount for the support of little
Zada May Reid required by the
court. But he will pay it only “on
condition that my daughter is
placed in a good Christian home.”
Mrs. Anna L. Saylor, newly ap
pointed chief of the State depart
ment of social welfare, will he
asked to investigate the case.
Political Issue
_ Reid today is the biggest poli
tical issue in Glenn county, accord
ing to his friends here. One eour
tv official went down to defeat at
the polls recently as a result of his
imprisonment, they say, and Judge
Purkitt is declared to be facing
almost certain defeat at next
year’s election unless 'the white
elephant in the county jail” is re
leased.
While county officials argue the
matter and seek vainly for a solu
tion ( Reid is working for the over
throw of “unjust alimony laws.”
He has joined the Alimony Pay
ers’ Protective association, a na
tional organization composed of
those who believe that “It is the
man who pays and pays,’ and 's
working through the association
to break down the present system.
DUBS TO FROLIC
DURING TUSH
1 GOLF COURSE
I'nique Tournament On Tomorrow
Afternoon At Cleveland
Springs. Free ray.
Bobby Jones wasn't any cham
pion when he played his fust
round of golf. Perhaps that will he
some consolation to the numerous
beginners who are expected to
trek around the Cleveland Springs
course tomorrow, Thursday afteri
noon, in a unique golf tournament.
1 he oddness of the tourney to
morrow is'that no one will be per
mitted to play for the prizes who
has ever played before. It is to be
a real dub entertainment. Thurs
day afternoon is the last half holi
day of the summer season with
the business houses of town, and
the golf club and hotel are co-op
erating in putting on a gara after
noon. The dub golfers are not ex
pected to get all the fun of the
afternoon. Other golfers, who think
they are not dubs but perhaps are,
will be out to watch the beginners
play. Caddies are expecting to find
many balls in places w-iere balls
have never been found before. The
Cleveland Springs course Is In gooa
condition but the unofficial guess
is that most of Thursday after
noon’s tournament will be played
in the woods and corn fields in
stead of down the fairways. Colt
bulls have a habit of getting out
of the fairway easier than money
out of young fellow’s pocket.
Doctors may play doctors, and
! business men may borrow a set of
clubs and take on the professional
men. v . |
Incidentally, the afternoon’s en
tertainment is to be at the expense
! of the golf club. All those who wish
| to enter the dub tourney and have
a half day of fun and exercise are
urged to be at the club bouse short
ly after noon. As far as Is possible
clubs will be furnished all those
who enter and the caddies will act
as coaches about the course.
Charles I,. Eskridge, glof club
president was out yesterday ai.tt
today rounding up entrants for the
contest. But those he fails to see
are invited to play. It’s an open
event to every one that hasn’t play
ed golf.
Yes, of course, there will he
prizes. A couple of them are nice
enough to make Bobby Jones him
self break into a grin—that is, if
he could win one. One of the prizes
is on exhibit in the window at T.
W. Hamrick’s and another at
George Alexander’s. And there will
be still others. Prizes for the best
scores and the worst scores will
