Weather* Against Power Firm* Move In Securing Papers Elizabeth City, .June 12.—Lee B Weathers, president of the North Carolina Press association, in deliv ering his address at the annual meeting of the North Carolina edi tors, condemned, in no uncertain terms, the recent efforts on the part of the so called power trust to buy in a number of North Carolina daily papers. He said In part: ‘•Fabulous sums were mentioned in the investigation as a buying price. Whether these figures were made by LaVarrc and Hall, who visited nearly every daily in Nort-r Carolina on a buying excursion, or whether the publishers themselves set the asking price, I do not know, but 1 am convinced that ther^ is not a one of these papers that can earn a legitimate return on the amount mentioned as a passible sale price. Newspapering in North Carolina is profitable in some in stances, but it is by no means a bonaza, as the public is beginning to think because of the prices men tioned in the recent investigation. It cannot conceive or a greater danger to a free government and a free press than to have these dailies in North Carolina controlled by the power trust or any other one inter est, for that matter. The strength of a newspaper lies primarily in its independence, and an independent, fearless press is the general safe guard of the people's welfare and the people's rights. Just at this time when we are engaged in a na tion-wide controversy over the wis dom of allowing the great power reserves to pass into huge combines of capital and when the power com panies are charged with spending millions of dollars for propaganda in certain newspapers, colleges, and public schools, is’nt it alarming that such interests should attempt a wholesale buy-up of the press of North Carolina? "For the sake of the press and the public I feel that the ownership of the press should be in the hand of the publishers themselves, men who are identified with and are a part of the communities they serve. Such men now publish our North Carolina papers. To them it Is a sacred profession and they would not for the world barter their property and their prestige to be used for public exploit ” Federal Officials To T^st Action On Slot Machine Raids Operators of slot and vending ma chines in this section of North Caro lina. adjacent to the South Carolina border, will be interested in the fol lowing news Hem from Charleston telling of the test to be made oy the federal government of slot ma chine seizures there by the state government: "The right of Governor John G. Richards to confiscate certain slot machines is to be tested in federal district court here. “Federal Judge E. F. Cochran has ordered the governor to appear June 17 to show cause why he should not be restrained from or dering the seizure of slot machines belonging to R. B. McKillip. of Ohio. “Governor Richards directed Sher iff C. R. Bramlett, of Greenville county, on May 30 to confiscate the machines owned by Mr. McKillip, who contends that their operation is not in violation of the statute against vending machines in that no element of chance is involved." Mr. M. E. Maddox, division man ager of the National Automatic Ma chines company, who has his head quarters in Shelby, will attend the Charleston hearing as the federal court decision there is of much im port to his firm.

The Vitaphone was as char as a bell, being better, it is said, than ever before heard at the Princess.

"High Voltage” is a dialogue pic ture. dramatic and engrossing, put over by William Boyd, one of the most sterling of the latter day stars. Two vitaphone acts and a comedy complete the bill. A comedy and the popular Fables add to the charm of the bill to morrow. Chairman Of Board In Rutherford Face* Suit Now Over Bill Tinker Is Defendant In Action Brought About Lawyer's Bill. Forest City, June 14.—Hardin H. Tucker, charman of the board of commissioners of Rutherford coun ty, has been named defendant in a civil action started by N. M. Pon der. The summons was made re turnable before Justice of Peace Lindsay Purgason, June 25, at his office in Logan Store township. The action of this, plaintiff is based on sections 1302 and 1331 of the state code which provides that any citizen may sue an official for $200 for neglect of duty. The plain tiff alleges that Mr. Tucker, a chairman of the board, failed to re quire an itemized and verified statement of account to be filed by Attorney M. L. Edwards, of Ruth erford ton. Mr. Edwards recently presented n bill for $800 for services to the county, it is alleged, and that ihc county treasurer paid this claim, on order of the board, before the claim was verified and audited. It Is fur tlier alleged in the summons that such action on the part of the board is a violation of the state law, and under section 1331 of the state code any citizen may sue for j $200 in a civil action. Brakeman Record A ' Jimmie Rodgers Who Is Heard On Phonograph lias llad Re markable Career. A few years ago. there was a pop ular, good natuicd brakeman work ing out of the little town of Meri dian, Mississippi. This happy-to lucky chap worked on and off—on the road. Because of his wonderful good nature he was a favorite with the foreman and his fellow work ers. He brightened up many an hour in the dreary caboose with his quaint ballads—and high spirits. The happy ‘ singing brakeman" was Jimmie Rodgers, and Jimmie did "right well a’ railroadin'.” He married a pretty Meridian girl and sang more and better than ever; and Jimmie became the proud fath er of a little girl—that was seven years ago. I But Jimmie was a frail fellow In spite of the sunny disposition. The ! strenuous life on the railroad was too much for him. His health broke down completely and he had to quit. All agreed that it was pretty tougn for Jimmie. A wife and youngster -a lot of friends—but no job—and not enough strength to get and i keep one. But Jimmie still wore the j same old smile. About two years ago, Rodgers took his little family to Asheville and to keep them alive began sing ing and playing at the roadsid? lunch stands around the city. In a little while Jimmie’s yodel and his guitar were well known in Asheville. It was there he met a phonograph recording man and had his firs* chance to make a record. His first number was decidedly better than the average. His second was a na tional success. And today—largely because of the success of his rec ords—Jimmie and his little wife and daughter are living in comfort, and the yodeling brakeman is now’ a “headliner" on the great national vaudeville circuits. In spite of many reports of his death, Jimmie is still very much alive. Success has not turned the head of ‘America's Blue Yodler.” He is still "one of the boys" anti enjoy* j sitting down with the gang, and strumming his favorite guitar, and then starting on one of his well known yodeling blues. And for those of us who do not come in persansl touch with this lovable fellow, there are his records of all his best "string music” to cheer us in our lonely moments, i MOTHER OF 16 GETS SENTENCE FOR Rl'M TRADE Ft.
