He had made pies, many pies, all J cherry pies, and he had been suc cessful with most of them. Most or them were Juicy while a few were burnt and blackened. All of them were made with loving care, for he felt they were consecrated to the Lord’s work. Smith had the dream Monday night. The Lord's instructions were definite and unmistakable. There fore, early Tuesday he bought flour, cherries and pie-pans and he set about his task as baker for the na tions of this sinful world He made worlds of pies and lie then began to give them away, making the rounds of nearby homes Finally, police were notified of his activities and Officers Lee Allison and Julian Wright paid him a visit and stopped his culinary activities. They put him in the county jail, awaiting a mental examination. He whiles away his time, thinking up new recipes for pies and in trying to convince officers ahd his Jailers of his sanity.

He had threatened to kill himself. Mrs. Killian was sitting in the living room of the home, which is an apartment over a store building, when Mr. Killian came in and kissed her and praised her as a wife. "He was all a "quiver," Mrs. Killian said. Then he went into another room, sat down a few minutes, then into the bathroom, and evidently stood looking into a mirror when he shot himself with a .32 caliber pistol. The bullet entered his chest. A negro man, worker on a farm that Mr. Killian owned, was the first to reach the wounded man. He happened to come to the house to talk with Mr. Killian regarding the operation of the farm. The negro rushed Into the bathroom. I've shot myself," Mr. Killian said. "Why?" asked the negro. “I don't know," wes the reply. Mr. Killian was a native of Lin coln county. He had been living here for about eight years, having been in the mercantile business and farming. He leaves his wife, two daughters which were born to the unkorj, and two daughters born from a union with his first wife.

Benny Mack May Get Hoey For A New Murder Ti ial Boxer Declare* He Did Not Get FaJi Hearing—Doctor Says • Punch Drunk.” Charlotte, March 1.—Benny Mack boxer, yesterday sentenced to from 22 to 30 years In the state peniten tiary for the murder of W. R. Moore, declared from his cell In the Mecklenburg Jail today that he would seek a new trial The young fighter refused to divulge on what ground the appeal for u new trial would be made. Mack, whose real name is Mc Intyre, was bitter today over the outcome of his hearing. He declar ed he was •'railroaded” and that “witnesses took the stand against me and lied like dogs. I was fram ed and if I had been given a fair trial I would be out of here today. ‘'I've got to get out. If I can get a fair hearing they will turn me loose,” Mack continued. “It isn't so much on m.v account as it is for my wife and 14-niont)ns-old baby and there will be another baby before long.” ' Arrangements Were being made to secure additional counsel to work on the case with those already en gaged in the case. Clyde Hoey. of Shelby, and Congressman-elect Charles A. Jonas, of Ltncolntan, be the two new lawyers engaged to work in behalf of Mack. Another angle to the case was turned up after the trial when Dr. W. E. Wishart, formerly a member of the Charlotte baecing commis sion and a medical doctor, said that Mack was “punch drunk," a con dition often found in prise fight ers who have taken great punish ment in their ring bkttlcs. Dr. Wishart went into a descrip tion of the term, saying it affected tho mental faculties of its victims to the extent that they were de prived of their full mental powers. The continual pounding about the head to which fighters are sub jected cause a Jarring loose of something, probably a nerve con nection. Men thus affected appear to lose their feeling for punish ment, going back after each round of their fights laughing at the ter rific beating being given them by opponents. The importance of this condition, if it exists with Mack, on his case has not been revealed. Penny Company Buy 117 Stores J. B. Byars Company And J. X. McCracken Company Included In Western Chains.

' THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE Paragon Furniture Company OFFICE AT The Paragon .Department Store (Basement Floor) YOU CAN’T GET AHEAD \ND FOLLOW WHAT THIS FELLOW WAS DOING We came across the following article a few days ago, and is so good that we are passing it on to you. The article was published by the Thrift Magazine, under title of— “EASY TERMS” Tt was found in an ‘Easy Terms’ Gentleman’s Diary : , “January 4. Bought an automobile to day. Very* easy terms. Very fine car, with cigar lighter on dash. Ought to finish pay ment on this in eighteen months. “February 4. Paid installments due on car. Bought a radio set on easy terms. Fine set, and payment will be small and monthly. “March 7. A little late wPh payment on the car this month, and will have to let the radio payment go over til April, as I bought a set of books and paid $11.00 down. Vary fine books Everybody should have this set ' of books. “April 16. Borrowed $50.00 from the boss to meet payment on car. The radio man came to take away the set, but we put out the lights and weren’t home. The chump hung around ah evening, so I couldn’t see, to read the books. “June 1. Borrowed $100 from - Uncle George to pay the $60.00 I borrowed from the boss, and also to meet payment on the car. Got behind a little on the book pay ments, because I bought a piece of land- in a new real estate development. This land ought to jump in value. Paid $50.00 down. “August 15. Somehow I don’t miss Jthe radio set much. And you can get plenty of books from the public library. The thing that hurts is that Uncle George should be. so mean. Of course I told him I’d pay back the $100 on August 1st; but you can’t do the impossible, can you ? Trying to arrange a character loan from the bank. If I can borrow $250.00,1 can get square again and everything will go fine. “August 16. Bank says I have no char acter. What a bunch of crooks! “September 30. The garage man is hold ing the car for that labor bill. What right have they to hold the car? It doesn’t be long to me. October 1. It wasn’t any use. I Tiad to let the car go. Anyway, I’d rather, have— ~ . that piece of land. They’ve given me- a . month’s grace on that. Real estate people have more heart, after all. “November 15. Well, they can haye their old land. Good riddance. If I knew where to get ?30.00 to meet the payment on the piano, I’d be all right. Bought a new auto mobile today, on the ‘pay out of income’ basis. “November 16. Income stopped. Got the sack at the office. In looking for a * Jbb you’ve got to have a suit of clothes, so T bought one this afternoon. Five dollars down.”—Thrift. ... Look out.
