TO
Everyone Will Have Opportunity To
See Or Hear Him Over
Radio.
New York.—Although Governor
Alfred E. Smith probably will make
comparatively few speeches in his
campaign for the presidency. he
will “thoroughly cover the country.”
so that everyone “will have ample
opportunity of either seeing him or
hearing him over the radio,” John
J. Raskob. chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee, said
The chairman said he believed
the governor's “personality is a very
important item.” in the campaign
"It is my belief that a campaign
of that kind, conducted by the gov
ernor," he said. “would be verv
much more effective than just
stumping the country from the
back platform of a train."
Raskob asserted it too difficult to
say anything except a few catch
phrases in such five minute
speeches.
A meeting of the Democratic ex
ecutive committee was held at
which the budget system and ex
penses were discussed. Mr. Raskob
said that as soon as the heads of I
the various committees are selected,
each will prepare an estimate of
what his department will need. In
that way the amount needed for the
campaign will be decided.
The chairman expected no diffi
culty in obtaining the amount of
money needed. The only large ex
pense. he said, will be for educa
tional work and in getting the vot
ers registered.

JURY DISPELS POISON
THEORY IN ODD DEATH
High Point—A coroner’s jury he-e
has decided that Mrs: George Pen- I
dergrast, whose body was exhumed
here June 22 for an examination bv
chemists, did not come To her death
by poison as had been believed by
members of her family.
The decision was based upon the ;
chemists’ report that no trace of
poison of any kind was found in the j
woman’s stomach. Death was as
cribed to causes impossible to ac
curately determine at this late.
time. Mrs. Pendenrrast died in a
local hospital last December.

HIT BY AlITO HEN LAYS
EGG ON THE WING
Kinston.—An egg was laid on the
running board of a speeding auto
mobile on the Central highway, near
here, a story brought to the city
said. The locale for the laying was
not the hen's choice.
The car was making 45. The hen
ran out of a group of chickens and
flew up from the road in an effort
to escape the wheels. A fender
struck her. She slid down the fen
I der to the running board. A frao
| tion of a second later she had been
I thrown to one side, clear of the car
and apparently uninjured.
The driver noticed something
bouncing on the running board. It
was an extra-fresh egg, cracked but
not broken.

Gaffney.—Pleading' guilty to
the charge but in-i.ting that he
was unaware of the relation hip
Jeff Carroll was sentenced in
court at Spartanburg Tuesday
by Judge T. S. Sense to serve
one year on the ehaingaug,
the minimum allow* d hy law,
for marrying Nettie Carrol!, his
half sister, of Blacksburg, Fight
months of the sentence were
suspended. The charge against
the bride was ivd pras-ed.
Jeff and Nettie were arrested at
Henderson; N\ G , on n. warrant
! sworn out here before Magistral'
: Rowan Gibson by;the mother oi the
girl Sheriff J. G, V/dght r.roufpu
; the couple back to Gaf ncy the I:i f
of last week. Since the marriage
j took place at Spartanburg, however,
; the case had to be 'transferred to'
the Spartanburg court,
i A report of the trial, as published
! by the Spartanburg jptirnal foi
l-lows':
Reared two hundred mile, from
I his half sister whom he had never
i seen until recently, and :h n not
j knowing they were related in • any
way, Jeff Carroll married Mattie
j Carroll of Blacksburg and the pair
: lived together for -about two month .
"Tuesday morning Carroll enter-.
| rd a plea in tlie court of gi-nerd
! sessions to a charge of incest fol
lowing the illegal manage aiul
subsequent cohabitation, nd. was
sentenced to four month.
"Carroll and the unman ware
brought. into court from (lie co un
ty jail where they have been in
carcerated, when the plea was en
tered. J F It ham e attorney, of
Blacksburg, appeared lor the cou
ple and advised the pic :
"Carroll stated to Judge T. P.
Sease that he was reared at Hen
derson, N. C.. and married his sis
ter. Nettie the. third tune he saw
her. He never saw iter until seven
months ago when he came to
Blacksburg section from eastern
North Carolina.
“As a child seven yea"s old Car
roll had been give n away and had
been reared by others than his par
ents. He was not even aware, he
said, that he had a sister.
Judge Sease advised him to let
the case go to a jury, but after con
sideration, said he thought it might
be best to detain him and let the
girl go her way.
;The law fixes the penahv at not
' lesfc than one year, and that sen
tence was imposed with all but four
months suspended. The case igainst
Nettie was nol pressed. She left to
return to Blacksburg
"Carroll was taken back to the
jail to be sent to the chaingang *o
serve his sentence and forget his
bride of two months who turned out
to be his sister
The position of the attorney
who advised the plea of guilty was
that they could have ascertained
that they were kin if they had made
any effort, and that a plea was the
best solution of the case."
Scotch Millionaire
Leaves $5 To Wife
New York.—The last paragraph in
the history of" an interesting
Scotchman’s career was written
when the will of Alexander Roland
Peacock, who rose Jrom a depart
ment store clerkship to the vice
presidency of the Carnegie Steel
company, was filed for probate.
Peacock, once reputed to be worth
$15,000,000 left his widow, Irene M
Peacock, a five dollar bill. His sec
retary gets 150 shares of Gulf Oil
corporation stock or $10 000 in cash
in case the securities do not realize
that amount. His valet receives $2.
500, which four children get $100
each.
In explanation of his bequest to
his widow, Peacock wrote in his
will:
“It is intended by me to be in full
and in lieu and bar of her dower
and all and every right or interest
in and to my estate. I make only
this provision for reasons well
known to her, Including the fact
that I have amply and liberally pro
vided for her during my lifetime.”
The Driver And the Bee.
From The Montgomery Advertiser.
The Abbeville Herald tells of a
motorist who struck at & bee fly
ing near his face, and losing con
trol of his steering wheel, had an
accident which did considerable
damage to his car. A dispatch from
Omaha relates how a driver was
killed when he struck at a bee that
had lighted on his arm. The auto
mobile driver should be so well dis-'
ciplined that even a bee sting will
not cause him to lose control of his
car.
