BOY KILLED 1.
IS JURY VERDICT
Coroner’s Jury Renders Verdict In
Negro Killing After A
Delay.
Otis Martin, the 11-year-old
negro boy in the county jail,
was the person who shot and
killed his father Bill Martin last
Sunday night according to a
verdict rendered by Coroner
Eskridge's jury today at Moores
boro.
It will be remembered that ac
cording to the story told the boy
shot his father while the lather
was choking his wife. There were
some, however who were dubious of
the Story as the father and mother
were engaged in a tussle when the
shots were fired and it was hard to
understand why the mother was not
hit by any ol the lour bullets. Every
one present contended that the boy
did the shooting, and the little ne
gro himself sticks to his story when
h" is queried each day at the coun
ty jail.
New Witnesses.
At the session of the coroner a
jury at Mooresboro this morning
three new witnesses were used, one
a brother ol the boy slayer, while
the two others’ were negroes who
were at the Martin home shortly
after the shooting.
Evidence introduced today
strengthened the first account of
the story, according to Coroner
Eskridge Just what will be done
with the youthful killer is not
known.

NEW FEATURE FOR
BIG COUNTY FAIR
Fastest Animals On Foot To Thrill j
Fair Crowds With Daily
Karrs.
There will be a daily greyhound
race at the Cleveland county fair
here this fall. Sept. 25-29, accord
ing to an announcement tdday by }
Secretary J. S. Dorton.
This will be the first appearance
of racing greyhounds in this section
and since the sport has increased
in interest in recent years the rac
ing is expected to prove one of the
best entertainment features of the
five big days. The races will not be
exactly similar to the noted grey
hound racing in Florida, .which has
drawn so much attention, but the
lithe dogs, which are the fastest
things on foot in the world, will .
give fair crowds all the speed that J
could be looked for.
Reiss Shows Back.
Another announcement of interest
is that the old Nat Reiss shows, en
larged and combined, will be back
to play the fair this fall. These j
shows have appeared here before
and are well known to thousands of
midway fans hereabouts. Since
their last Appearance here they
ha^e been combined with the Mel
ville shows and the outfit, with 28
new attractions, is now known as
the Harry G. Melville-Nat Reiss
shows.
Fair officials have the copy for
their premium list about complete
and it will not be so long before
copies are ready for distribution. It
is one of the most complete and ex
tensive premium lists ever arranged
by a county fair in the state.
Auto Sales In
July Swing To
A New Record
Raleigh -More new automobiles
were sold in North Carolina during
July than in any single month
since 1925. July sales amounting to
6.950 new cars, according to figures
released by Spraggue Silver, chief
of the automobile license bureaii
of the department of revenue. This
is almost 2,000 more cars than were
sold during June, when less than
5,000.
Although the sales of cars by
makes have not yet been tabu
lated completely, the largest sales
for any one irtake were Chevrolets,
with 2,003, with Fords coming sec
ond with 1,503. showing that the
Fcrd sales are gradually creeping
up on the Chevrolet as the Ford
output is increasing to meet de
mand.
“The new car sales for July
would certainly indicate that there
is plenty of money in the state, de
spite the reports of hard times."
said Mr. Silver, “for the sales are
getting larger every month, and this
past month were larger than for
any single month in three years.
And this despite the fact that the
automobile dealers are this year in
sisting upon larger down payments
and allowing less on trade-ins than
ever before."
In view of the brisk business that
automobile dealers have been doing
for the past several months, they
are looking forward to still better
business and larger sales, according
to indications, and August and
September should again see former
records smashed, according to Mr.
Silver. A number of automobile
manufacturers have just come out
with new models, and others sche
duled to appear soon with the re
sult that sales are expected to soar
again.

Smith and Hoover Must
Be Careful About Women
Woman’s Party Wants Laws Changed And
Will Knife The Candidate Who Does
Not Favor Their Vote
By RODNEY DUTCHER
(NEA Service Writer)
Washington—The average man no doubt assumes that
the question of equal rights was settled when the women’s
suffrage amendment was passed.
But Hoover and Smith hadn't
better assume that in their accept
ance speeches. The National Wo
man's party, whose existence and
activities are based solely on the
that inequality between the sexes
does exist under benighted state
laws is waiting with raised axe.
Aftr the acceptance speeches the
Woman's party will hoi da meeting
I to decide what it will do in the
I presidential campaign. If one of the
candidates as something very de
finite about obtaining equality for
women, he can have the support o!
the Woman’s party, assuming that
the other candidate doesn't do as
well or better. And While the Wo
man's party is by no means the
largest of the national women’s or
ganizations, it is certainly the most
militant.
For years the active ladies in
this organization have been running
around in various states to clean ud
little instances where women were
getting a raw' deal under the law,
but their primary objective is the
passage of a constitutional amend
ment which would say:
"Men and women shall have equal
rights throughout the United States
and every place subject to its juris
diction. Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by appropria
tion legislation.”
That would bring the states in
line.
The party’s crusaders were at
both national conventions working
to get an endorsement of the
amendment in the platform. They
didn’t get it in, but both parties did
mention "equality.” The Republi
cans "accepted whole-heartedly
equality on the part of the women."
but this made the girls a little sore
because they say such equality does
not exist. The Democrats declared
for "equality for women with men
in all political and governmental
matters and for an equal wage for
equal service” but the candidate's
interpretation is nevertheless await
ed.
Senator Curtis, the Republican
vice presidential candidate intro
duced the equal rights amendment
in the senate, describing is as of the
greatest importance to American
women. Naturally, the women wnuld
hate to turn down friend Charlie at
this juncture in case Smith should
come clean with them, but they
can't very well declare for Smith
and Curtis.
The Woman's party protests be
cause woman don’t hate equal citi
zenship rights, equal opportunities
in schools and universities, equal
pay for equal work, equal control oi
their property earnings—and even
children, equal inheritance rights,
equal opportunities in govenment
service, professions and industries,
equal right to make contracts, and
so on. It contends that in no state
do men and women live "under
equal protection of the law'.”
It cites, among others, these hor
rible examples:
Women are barred from holding
higher elective offices in Oklahoma.
Texas law is such that when Ma
Ferguson took office . as governor
! she petitioned a court to set aside
| her "legal disabilities as a married
woman,” so that state contracts she
signed wouldn't be questioned.
In many other states the right of
women to contract is limited.
COMES 10 CLOSE
Judge Cameron McRae, of Ashe
ville, adjourned the July term oi
superior court, here yesterday after
disposing of all the “rush cases" on
the civil calendar. The term was
near a two-weeks grind with the
criminal docket taking up most of
the opening week.
Very few cases of any magnitude
were cm the civil calendar with di
vorces and minor litigations playing
lead roles.
The suit of Alfred Waters against
the Southern railway ended in a
voluntary non-suit, it being the
third time the case has ended in
such a manner. Waters asked the
court for $20,000 damages as the re
sult of a collision between a car
and a Southern passenger train at
the Warren street crossing here
many months back. The railroad
says the car tried to knock the
train off the track instead of the
train trying to clear the track itself.
Dempsey Declares He, Too, Is
Through With Fighting Racket
Boston—Jack Dempsey, like the
man who knocked the crown off his
head, says he is through with prize
fighting. but he isn't quite certain.
And is what more, he isn't entirely
convinced that Gene Tunney is ser
ious in his announced retirement.
Jack left Boston Wednesday aft
er having been accorded one of the
most tumultously enthusiastic ova
tions given a prize fighter, active or
retired here in years.
A delighted mob of 5.000 was on
hand at the south station when the
train pulled in and the former
heavyweight champion of the world
arrived to act as announcei ni the
bout in which Krtue t* haif defeat

A police escon oacf ft f'lear the

crowd of the season, gave him a

Before the bout Dempsey dis

own plans. "It's a shame that Tun

at the top of his fighting career."
the manassa mauler declared. “I
can say, however, that Gene's re

plans in any way.

STATE OFFICIAL
DOUBTS LEGALITY
OF SPLIT TICKET
Election Board Secretary Says Can
not Vote Part One Way;
Part Another.
Raleigh, August 3.—Though he is
yet to give any such instruction to
the registrars of the state, R, C.
Maxwell, assistant secretary to the
state board of elections, stated that
in his opinion it would be illegal
for any North Carolina voter, un
less he registered as an independent
to split his ballot and vote a Repub
i lican national ticket and a Demo
| eratic state and county ticket.
With this interpretation of the
election law’ Asst, Atty.-Gen. Frank
Nash is in emphatic disagreement.
A voter in the general election can,
he says, vote for whom he pleases,
■ either by wTiting in the name of any
candidate whose name is not on the
ballot, using stickers or by using n
Republican national ticket and a
j Democratic state and county ballot.
Mr. Maxwell draws his conclu
sions from the following section of
the election law, C. S. 6027:
“The regular registration books
shall be kept open before the pri
mary election in the same manner
and for the same time as is pre
scribed by law for general election...
At the first primary held under the
provisions of this article, new regis
tration books shall be provided, in
which on each page there shall be
a column headed with the lan
guage. “With which political party
are you affiliated?” and it shall be
the duty of each registrar to tran
scribe the names of all formerly
registered voters in his precinct in
to such book, for such compensa
i tion as the state board of elections
shall indicate, to be paid by the
county; and when such voter,
w'hose name has been thus tran
scribed, appears for the first time
to vote in a primary provided for by
this article, he shall answer the
question stated above, and it shall
be the duty of the registrar and
judges of elections to write opposite
the name of each voter in such pri
mary answer to such question; and
as to all other persons not already
, registered who shall register to
vote in a party primary, it shall
be the duty of the registrar, when
such persons registers, to propound
to him the same question and to
hawe the same answered, and write
the answer of such elector on such
book in such column.”
When asked how he interprfeted
the law, Mr. Nash said: "There -is
( such a thing as political morality
and in my opinion any person who
participated in the hand primary is
not acting in good faith if he does
not vote for his party’s nominee.
The opponents of Smith bring up
the issue of morality, but in the
very beginning they besmirch them
selves by refusing to support their
party's nominee after they partici
pated in their party's primary.
However, .there is no law that can
prevent a man or woman from vot
ing as they please."
If there is any action to be taken
in regard to possible bolters from
the Democratic party next Novem
ber, it will have to be taken by the
party after the election and can
only amount to a refusal to allow
such voters to participate further.

County Dog Trial
May Be Moved Up
To Supreme Court
Notice Of Fox-Ilound Appeal Given
After Non-Suit In Court
Grind Here.
North Carolina fox-hunters
generally know that good fox
hounds are bred in Cleveland
county, but ere many months
the learned jurists who sit on |
the supreme court bench of the '
state may have that information i
presented before their august
body.
In other words, a county dog suit j
may go to supreme court.
In superior court here yesterday
Judge Cameron McRae non-suited
the case of Bate Blanton vs, Charlie
Bridges in which damages, said to
be about $50, were asked for the
death of a fox-hocnd. Once before
the case had been heard by a su
perior court session, resulting that
time in a “dog-fall,” or mistrial. The
second bout ended in the first
round with Judge McRae giving a
technical knockout, or non-suit, to
the defendant.
It wasn't a definite fact today
that the case would move on up,
but immediately following the non
suit Judge B. T. Falls, counsel for
Mr. Blanton, gave notice of appeal.
Letter Of Senator Published Sur

To Decide.
The anticipated conference be
tween Senator Simmons and State
Chairman O. M. Mull, in regards to
the Simmons’ resignation as na
tional committeeman,. the back
ground and future thereof, will
likely be held in New Bern some
time next Wednesday.
There is some likelihood that the
meeting of the two Democratic lead
ers, the outcome of which will be
awaited with interest on the part of
the entire state, will be held Tues
day, but the odds point to Wednes
day.
New Bern, Aug. 2.—Senator Sim
mons tonight confirmed the text ot
a letter, purported to have been
written by him and made public in
Wilmington today, in which he de
clared that Governor Alfred E.
Smith is allied with interests and
groups “hostile and antagonistic to
the fundamental prihciples of demo
cracy."
The letter also quoted the sena
tor as expressing the opinion that
“all Democratic voters should be
free from coercion or restrain in
the exercise of their conscience and
judgment with respect to the na
tional ticket."
Published.
The message was made public in
Wilmington by A. B. Groom, an in
surance agent, and was published
in a newspaper there.
Although admitting the text of
the letter as his, Senator Simmons
did not say definitely that he had
sent Mr. Groom such a letter.
He said that it would be neces
sary to refer to his files before ne
could confirm this particular letter.
He added that all his correspondence
had been personal and private and
that he was surprised that any cor
respondent had seen fit to give
quotations from him to the press.
Awaits Mull.
In fact,. Senator Simmons em
phasized that he preferred to give
his own statements for publication.
He repeated that he would not be
ready to give out any public state
ment until he had conferred with
in the next few days with Chair
man Mull, of the state Democratic
executive committee.
Until then, he refuses to ac
knowledge any statement as an au
thentic pronouncement of his poli
tical view's and Intentions.
The letter from Senator Simmons
that was published in Wilmington
read in part as follows:
The Letter.
“I am deeply Interested in the
election of the Democratic state, dis
trict and local tickets, and I earn
estly hope they may receive the un
divided support of the Democracy of
the state, but I feel that because o<
Governor Smith’s action since his
nomination with reference to the
platform, his organization of the
national Democratic executive com
mittee and his and its alliance with
interests and groups hostile and an
tagonistic to the fundamental prin
ciples of democracy, all Democra
tic voters should be free from coer
cion or restraint in the exercise of
their conscientious conviction and
judgment with respect to the na
tional tickets.”

“You can hear more poli

capitol in Raleigh in two ses
sions of the legislature,’’ said
Needham Manguni of Wake
Forest Wednesday. "I had

that the half had not been

Mr, Mangum is supporting

to treat them kindly. “Most

Got Smith Plate
On The Wrong Car
Agent W’ith Smith-Hoover Car
Tags Has Prank Played On
A Sale.
A1 Smith and Herbert Hoover au
tomobile tags are appearing on
numerous automobiles in this sec
tion, and so far the Smith tags seem
to lead the Hoover tags, but lest
there be some misunderstanding it
should be stated that there are
quite a number of Hoover tags to be
seen.
The tags are being sold by a
young fellow, who charges one dol
lar per tag for the white plates
bearing the name of the favored
presidential candidate.
A story going the rounds tell of a
near costly prank for the young
agent. It seems, so the story has it
that a group decided to have some
fun and purchased a Smith tag
which one of them told the young
fellow to place an a car just across
the street. The car did not belong
to either one of the/i but to an anti
Smith man with decided convic
tions. The car owner happened to
! come by and the young agent, it is
said, was fortunate to get away with
all of his clothing much less the
tag he was trying to put on the
car.
Still another presidential-car-tag
story has it that a Smith tag was
torn off a Shelby auto one night
recently. Naturally the rumor after
being juggled about by several con
versations had it that the tag was
removed by a K. K. K.
Prefers Jail Here
To Life Elsewhere
Young Woman Takes Four Months
Jail Sentence Rather Than
Leave 2 Years.
Shelby is a good town—such a
good town that one woman prefers
living in jail here to freedom else
where.
In a recent court trial Dorothy
Townsend, sister of Bonnie Sutton,
who was known as Shelby's first
“bobbed-hair bandit,” was given the
privilege of leaving town and stay
ing away two years or serving a
four-months jail sentence as the
result of an immorality charge.
Yesterday the young white woman
walked to the jail and let it be
known that she would take the jail
sentence.
Only Small Percent Of Divorces
Granted Are To Natives
Of County.
Is Shelby a miniature Reno
for turbulent matrimonial seas
in South Carolina where the
mrrriage bond cannot be servered
legally? Are the numerous di
vorces granted in Cleveland
county courts a fair represen
tation of matrimonial life in
the county?
“Very near that,” say local bar
risters in answering question No.
One, and "not hardly” they echo m
replying to question No. Two.
Small Percent Local.
A very small percentage of di
vorces granted in superior court
j sessions here in recent years were
to native citizens of Shelby and the
county, or so say local lawyers and
court officials. Of course, many of
those who have figured in divorce
suits lived here, or near here, at
the time, but were not in reality na
tive citizens, not having been bom
here, or having lived here for any
great length of time.
Which doesn’t mean, the lawyer”
, say, that any superior court in
! Cleveland county could be called a
divorce mill. So far as is known a
divocce is no easier to secure before
a Cleveland county jury than before
any jury in the state. But Cleveland
county is so near South Carolina
that it joins that state, where there
is no such things as a legal divorce.
There may be other reasons for the
numerous divorces granted in this
county, but this one seems to rank
foremost in the opinion of the law
years who prepare the cases.
| Wonder At It.
During a lull in the present court
session several Shelby barristers and
court officials dropped into a dis
cussion of the rather large list of
divorces on the court calendar. In
cidentally they began checking over
them to see how many of the par
ticipants were what is known as
native citizens, and the revelation
I was that, vety few are real "home
folks."
It isn’t possible, of course, to
, move into Cleveland county and
! North Carolina, live a few days or
weeks, as in Reno and Mexico, and
then get a divorce, but as far as re
sidence is considered all a person
seeking a divorce in this state need
prove is that he or she has been liv
ing in North Carolina two years
prior to the inception of the divorce
action. That makes them a citizen
of the state insofar as divorce is
concerned. Perhaps many other
North Carolina counties find that I
quite a number of their divorces !
are granted to migratory, or two
year citizens, but the nearness of
Cleveland to South Carolina is
quite an asset to a growing divorce
business here. A man, or woman,
may have business interests to
watch over in South Carolina while
passing away two years in this state
and it is only a few hours drive
from Shelby to most any South
Carolina point. A matter of conven
ience, mayhaps. But South Caro
lina, it is said, does not recognize
marriages after divorces and some
how there must be several South
! Carolinians who are not legally
; married there, following a divorce
| from the first wife or husband here,
j Another reason for the numer
ous divorces that the lawyers did
! not bring forward in their talk,
perhaps because of modesty, is that
Shelby has a goodly collection of
i lawyers, rather expert in divorce,
1 as well as other lines,
i Be that as it may, court specta
tors here in recent years have heard
many prosecuting witnesses in di
vorce suits reply to a query by say

Are You Lazy? Well, Don’t Gorge
Yourself-—South Overeats, Says
Southern Diet Is Blamed For Lazi
ness By Odum. Eat Too Often
And Too Much.
Chapel Hill —Southern diet and
home hygiene came in for a sound
scorching at the hands of Dr. How
ard W, Odum, director of the uni
versity school of public welfare, ad

“Diet has a direct and all import

pointed out, “and health has a di
rect influence on the work and
productiveness of a people.
Eat Too Much.
“The people of the south eat too
much at meals and between meals.
They eat exactly what they want
and do not follow' a balanced diet,
and frequently they pay no atten
tion at all to the'most, fundamental
health rules," he declared.
Dr. Odum is delivering a series of
lectures before the combined school
of citizenship and parent teacher
institute on the place of the south
erner in the development of Amer- |
ica in which he has been stressing
j the importance of elimination of
waste to make possible the expioi- |
tation of the south's great natural
resources.
Stop Waste.
"Waste of health is a fundamental |
defect which must be eliminated,”
Dr. Odum declared, ‘‘if southern
people are to use their great re
sources to make the maximum con
tribution to the nation’s develop
ment. People are coming to see the
importance of a balanced diet
of following definite rules of
cal health, and there is hope for i
future” he said.
