Address if" Jj her a soulless hold-diqqer but DO you remember the sensa tional breach of promise suit, a few years ago, by a humble llower-girl against her young millionaire lover and his wealthy mother? At the trial many ugly charges were hurled at the girl. She was called a “gold-digger,” a blackmailer; a shameless crea ture who loved only money and the luxury money could buy. But when, in a voice broken by sobs, she to!d her pitiful story, men hvirdened rc- rerwr wip«! their <sw» COurt-roorn a bombshell that reverber ated to the end* of the earth. Most people were stunned by the unexpected •income of the trial. Even today few suspect the true history of events behind that tremendous drama of intrigue, suffering and death less love. But now the entire story has been told by the girl who was the ceimal figure in that amazing drama. Told in words that will bring tears to your eyes—tears of joy, of sorrow, of under standing and sympathy. Oon t miss this throbbing narrative iuiuvi:iy —wujhcu Hi the court-room wept aloud.

Dc:ro(s LITTON MOTOR COMPANY SHELBY, N. C. i Nominee Asks Religious Toleration And Separation of State And Church. Little Kook .July—Making a plea ; for religious tolerance and c|>iiv j'plete'separation of church and -state i Senator Joseph T Robinson, the demcreatic vice-presidential nomi nee. In an Independence day addre ! here declared “ Hie age a: bigotry | has passed" and that “no man : should be preferred or discriminated j against in public authority because I of iiis affiliation with a particular ! church " Speaking at an American legion state-wide eelebratiftn the runmrr; ■ mate of Governor Alfred E. Smith | of New York, asserted that “the battalions that advance under the black banners of intolerance can j never undermine or destroy the ! fortress of liberty." Reviews Constitution. Reviewing first the principles | upon which the declaration of trade ' pendente was founded. Senator Ron irtsdn launched into a discussion of the religious issue in politics. “Religious liberty is now the sub ject of frequent and sometimes bit ter discussion," he. sir)&*“Indeed, co lonial history reveals disputes and persecutions in almost all the col onies wholly inconsistent with the teachings of any Christian sect. The colonial contests over religious lib erty were responsible for the pro visions in the sixth article of the first amendment to our Constitu tion intended to set at rest forever agitation respecting the subject. "The true constitutional theory upon tiie subject, and I convene it. therefore is that there should be a complete separation of church and state No m°an should be preferred or discriminated against in pubhc authority because of his affiliation with a particular church. The age of bigotry has passed. The battal ions that advance under the black banner of intolerance can never un dermine or destroy the fortress ot liberty. TCauds Legion. "Happily the great organization, the American legion, under whose auspices this celebration is held, is strong in advocacy and defense of the fundamental and social and po litical principles. "In great national emergencies our people do not waste their ener gies in fruitless controversies. They do not question the religious sect with which the citizen is allied. They call upon him as a patriot to ren der service, and thanks to the genius of our institutions there has been no distinction or discrimination on ac count of sect. Pleads for Peace. “The white crosses erected on for eign battlefields to mark the. graves of our soldiers who fell in the great World war are emblems of that char tty. and tolerance taught and ex emplified by the Christ who bore the cross of Calvary and died- upon it." Turning to the subject of peace Senator Robinson said: "Permanent peace can neve- be brought about by mere treaties of arbitration and disarmament. These are helpful, ' ne said, -'when reflec tive of the spirit of consiliation among the contracting parties. "Our country stands for peace peace at home, peace with all the peoples of the world. Let it be made clear that we covet no foot of soil possessed by any other power. "International wars are conceived in suspicion and mistrust. So long as peoples misunderstand and hate one another, there will exist the dread and danger of war." MURPHY BULL FIGHT WILL NOT BE HELD Murphy, July 3—The bull fight which was to- have been staged her3 July fourth under auspices of the American legion, has been called off following receipt of a wire from Governor Angus McLean to the tsf- i i$ in feet that such an eat violation of a state 1 Announcement tbaVdB|§i has been called off Mayor Cooper, “Thifr* _ gion has no desire to do anything that would bring discredit to our town," the mayor explained Following the announcement some days ago that two bulls would stage a contest here July 4, several citi zens protested and solicited the governor's view on the matter. The matter was referred to the attorney general. Local officers were charged with the^enforcement of that section of the consolidated statute, prohibiting bull fights in North Carolina.
