No Poison Found In Stomach (Continued from page one.) stomach and elsewhere in the body, were found In the portion ol the stomach of Mrs , Faye Wilson King analyzed at Clemson college. The iesult of the' analysis was given ;r. a letter received tonight by Coroner Paul G. McCorkie from Dr R. N. Brackett, chief chemist at Clemson er,iege. Traces were found of carbolic acid derivatives, which are con tained in the embalming fluid used on the body and also in lysol, the disinfect an' that King said his wife had threatened to take to end her life. The letter of Dr. Brackett to Cor- j •ner McCorkie is as follows: “Am enclosing herewith a certifi cate ol analysis of a specimen said to be a portion of the stomach of Mrs. Faye Wilson King, which was delivered to me in person on your ajtnority February 9 by Dr. J. H. Saye, Sharon, S. C.. you will note that we were not able to find any metallic or alkaloidal poisons. Furthermore you will note that no substances were found in the specimen other than those present in t lie embalming fluid, a portion of which was sent to us upon my re quest as shown by your letter of February 14 and also the letter of H. T. Fulton, jr., of Fulton’s mor tuary, Kings Mountain, N. C„ of February 15. I may say that the term carbolic acid derivatives usee! in the certificate of analysis would include lysol.” The analysis, signed by R. N. Brackett, chief chemist, and B. F. Robertson, analyst. Is as follows: ‘ Mineral poisons, negative, alkal oidal poisons, negative carbolic acid derivatives, positive, but embalming fluid, said to be same as that used for embalming the body, gave the same reactions for carbolic acid de rivatives."

Mull Maying Fight On G. O. P. Bills (Continued ffom page one.) Representative McGee of Stokes. This bill would have abolished, the county highway commission in Stokes and put the duties in the hands of the board of county com missioners. The house had just passed a similar bill for Robeson county without debate or dissent, since it was a Democratic county. But Mull scented partisan politics in the Stokes county bill, and Nash came to the defense of the Repub lican member from Stokes. That many other Democrats agreed with Nash rather than Mull was indi cated when the final vote was tak en on Mull's motion to refer the bill back to the roads committee, in which Mull's motion was defeated 53 to 47. Some are beginning to fear that if Mull continues his present tac- j tics, and further offends the Re- j publicans in the house by his in tensely partisan speeches and at- ; tacks despite the fact that all agree ; that Mull is sincere and fighting for what he thinks is right, that he may alienate a number of the Re publicans that have been sticking by the administration so far and thus lose some valuable support. This is thought to apply especially , to the Australian ballot bill which coir.es up in the house in a few days, and which will require every vote possible. Republican as well as Democratic, in order to pass the bill. i Says Star Deserves Leadership Claim “In our opinion. The Cleve-.. land Star well deserves the little line you carry at the top of your letterhead," writes J Leigh Edwin Gill, advertising specialist of Asheville. This line reads "The Star Is Carolina's leading newspaper outside the daily field" Cir culation also exceeds 18 of the 38 dailies In North Carolina. When Mr. Gill placed some ad vertising in The Star and scan ned a copy of the paper, he was moved to write a letter of congratulation. There is not a single weekly newspaper in North Carolina ihat exceeds The Star in circul ■ tion and only 20 of the 38 dallies top The Star's list, rank ing this paper 21st in circula tion among the 150 or more newspapers in North Carolina.

(Special to The Star.' Belwood, Feb. 21. Behvood troop No. 1 has been organized one year, having organized February 22. 1928 On George Washington's birthday we started our troop with twelve tenderfoot scouts, ending the year with the whole troop. 26 scouts, having attained the first class rank, and no scout having received less than five merit badges. Some of the boys have attained sixteen merit badges each The troop has to its credit 265 merit badges. Among this number are several highly prized badges. namely, dairying, reptile study, chemistry, salesman ship. bird study and many others. Our troop committeemen are al ways ready to do anything for us they can. The chairman of our troop committee, who Is principal of our school is always willing to lend us a helping hand in anything we undertake to do. Soon after school ended last year we secured a truck and went to Blowing Rock. Here we were given the use of a summer cottage and it was in this cottage during our stay that the boys had to satisfy their hunger with their own "cook ing." With Blowing Rock as our headquarters, wc spent several days visiting many interesting places within our reach. One of the most interesting things during our stay there was a hike to the top of Grandfather Mountain. During the month of July we spent- one week at the Piedmont council Boy Scout camp at Lake Lanier, Tryon, where our boys re ceived many scout inspirations and ideals, which shall never be forgot ten. It was not until after we had spent this week in camp that our boys become so enthusiastic about advancing in scout rank. Up until this week we had not advanced in rank, nor did we possess a sin gle merit badge. Since then we have not let a single court of honor pass without having almost one hundred per cent present at each meeting, and every boy present went before the court for advance ment each tim^. Our troop quali fied for 102 merit badges at the last court of honor, which was held the second Monday night of February, During last week, which was an niversary week for Boy Scouts throughout America, wo gave sev eral special programs Rev. Rush Padget, of the Second Baptist Church ol Shelby, delivered to u* our annual scout sermon on Feb ruary 10, which was enjoyed and appreciated by all Boy Scouts and their parents. During anniversary week we made a special effort to do com munity good turns, and through these Rood turns much was Accom plished for our troop Is strictly rural, being scattered all over the upper end of Cleveland and Lin coln counties. In our troop you will find our members receiving (heir mull from four or five different post offices, giving you an idea of how the boys are separated, yet they attend all of our weekly meetings and work together for the advancement of scouting We are now re-registertng our troop for another year. On the first day of registration we had seven new members to Join. We expect to accomplish a great deal more during the next year than we have in the past year, be cause our boys are becoming more and more interested 111 scouting every day. Signed: J. ALVIN PROPST, Scoutmaster.
