Changed Statement. A few minutes later m the Sharon high school, King, the judge satd, changed his statement and declared that he did believe his wife had killed herself, because, he said, "We had sent off something to tlie doc tor and we had a bad disease,” and he said this had depressed her and evidently had caused her to kill herself.” Judge Olenn said inni mhs ■< brother.

Hoey drew out of Judge Olenn that he was present at the autop?y in the capacity of prosecutor. Mrs. Saye Next Mbs. J. H. Saye, of Sharon, who assisted in the preparation of Mra. Kings body for burial, was the next witness. , Clothes, which Mrs King wore, were exhibited and identified by the witness.

Under questioning of Attorney Marion, the witness said that the sheet on ,the bed where King was lying was freshly laundered, the iron creases being plainly notice able.

Mrs. Alien Plaxico, of Sharon, and substitute matron at the Thorn well Orphanage, at Clinton, S c. who aided in the preparation -f Mrs. King’s body, was next on the witness stand. She identified the stockings and said there were blood spots on them. She cleaned blood from beneath Mrs. King's finger nails, she said. There was a blue streak wide as the finger, around Mrs. King's throat, the witness testified. Admits Cut Finger. Mrs. Plaxico said she was the one who cut her finger. She was n the bedroom where the dead woman was when this happened. It bled only a little but she wrapped it with her handkerchief. She «td she did not go into the kitchen after she cut her finger. Mrs, Plaxico's handkerchief, which she wrapped around her finger, was offered In evidence by Attorney Marion. Mrs. Whitesides Next. Mis. J A. Whitesides, of Sharon, who was at the King home, and aided ill washing Mrs. King’s hair, testified that her hair was covered in blood and it was, necessary to wash the hair "nine or twelve times" to thoroughly cleanse it of blood traces.

Her brother’s partly grown hound dog, was seen coming from the outhouse. She did not see it go in, and did not know how long it had been in there. Virginia Politics Become Interesting Greensboro News. The reason Virginia lias acted first in the question of the future of the anti-Smith wing of the Democrat party is, of course, that Virginia lias to face a state elec tion before North Carolina, Flor ida or Texas. The decision being forced there, it has been met promptly and decisively. Nevertheless the coalition of Re publicans and anti-Smith Demo crats in Virginia, rallying behind the same candidates for state of fices, agreeing upon platforms which though physically different are yet close enough to be acceptable to both groups and in other respects uniting to present one front in the campaign, is unlike anything yet seen or even presaged in the other three states which overturned fast November. To explain that situation it Is necessary to go further jnd dig deeper. In no other southern state has the anti-Smith spirit been so plainly visible, the determination to maimatn it so evident, the will ingness To keep up the alliance with the Republican party so marked as in Virginia Perhaps that is due to the the rancors of last fall, which seemed from a distance more bitter in Virginia than in North Carolina, porhnps to the in fluence of Bishop Cannon, perhaps to other strictly local conditions. We have not seen any clear analysis, nor do we try to present one. But it seems reasonable enough that what happens in Virginia will have a definite effect on the dis ordered and uncertain situations in other southern states. Presently North Carolina will have to face somewhat tire same question. So will the other states. They will learn whether antl-Smtth Demo crats a it Democrats or are Re publicans. That will depend in part upon internal conditions with in the states' particularly on he personalities in volvcd (for in stance. the Simmons candidacy arid passible opposition In this state). But tt will depend, too. on the question of whether the independ ent spirit of the antiSmith ele ment remains. As to that, nobody in North Carolina knows, no matter how mutli he says lie knows. The most that can be done now' is to scan the Virginia results and learn as much as possible from them SAWDUST TURNED INTO FUEL WITH GOOD HEATING QUALITY Auburn, Ala.—Dr. C. A. Basore, professor of chemistry at Alabama Polytechnic institute, says he hes found a new fuel the principal In gredient of which is found in saw dust. Hts find resulted from research to accumulate material for a thesis for a degree of doctor of philosophy at Columbia university. He estimated the cost ot producing his neW fuel at $1.64 per ton. By heating fine sawdust until partially carbonized, Dr. Basore made briquettes which he claimed had a heating value equivalent to three fourths the heating power of a like quantity of bituminous coal. Necessary equipment was itemized as a heater and briquetting press. Dr. Basore believes that the saw dust briquettes would be suitable for manufacturing processes where sulphur and other impurities are objectionable. He said sawmills should be able to produce the mar ketable fuel at slight expense Died For Humanity. New York—Dr. Paul A.

Huggins who has re signed as principal of the Bolling Springs junior college has been elected principal of the Mooresboro high school which has been made a standard school. Both Prof, and Mrs. Huggins will be members of Mooresboro faculty. He has been connected with Boiling Springs for 22 years. In leaving the Boiling Springs school with which he has been connected for a number of years, Prof. Huggins says in a letter to Editor Weathers: "For twenty-two years I have ?n joyed serving the people as prin cipal of and teacher in Boiling Springs high school and, now I am leaving I wish through the Star to thank the trustees, who have certainly been kind to me, and the people they represent tor me not'or they bestowed upon me by intrust ing me with the direction of the education and ideals of so many hundreds of young people. 1 es teem this nothing less than a pro foundly sacred trust. • "I resign the position of princi pal of the high school, dean of the college,, and teacher, for another year feeling that, under the exist ing conditions, the duties in the position to which I go will not be nearly so trying upon my now re turning health and at the same time leave the school in a much better financial condition "I wish to assure the alumni and my personal friends of my abiding interest in the school and admonish every one of them to honor them selves and me by standing by the school through this t-ying hour of transilion from a high school to a college. Generations unborn will rise to call them blessed who have paid in the establishing and ade quately endowing such an institu tion.” Masonic Officers Lawndale Installed (Special to The Star.i Lawndale.—At a regular com munication Monday night in the Masonic temple the newly elected officers of the Lawndale lodge No. 486 A.

Earl Loses Out In Appeal About Highway Routing (Continued From Page One) sect there and that a large number of people would be served with the highway 18 by Patterson so that it might be tapped by these several roads. He further pointed out, as did Mr. Newton about Earl, that Patterson Springs was a thriving rural section and that the highway by that point would serve many Cleveland county citizens. For Ellis Ferry. Mr. W. C. Sarratt, who informed the commission at the outset that he was a planter and not a lawyer and would have to read his argu ment, was the next spokesman, con tending for a route by the '-'hom asson store section to reach the river at Ellis Ferry. A survey, he explained, was made of this route a couple of years back and met with general approval in unlocking a big section of the county and to serve all the citizens of both the Caro linas, the Dravo section and the section between Shelby and the river. Having served as chairman of the No. 3 highway commission, as tax lister, and having business of various types thoughout the sec tion, Mr. Sarratt declared that he believed this route would prove the most serviceable and mo6t benefi cial of all. Attorney Peyton McSwain follow ed Mr. Sarratt and made a plea for Cleveland county’s "Lost Prov ince," No. 1 township cut off from its county and county seat by the river thus sending its citizens to Oaffney or by a long, round-about road up to Shelby. There would be no argument about which rouve would be of more service to Cleve land county, he declared, if It were not for the fact that a bridge would have to be built in No. 1 township as the route that way would reach the river before reaching the South Carolina line. The route he argued for it was further explained would follow the direct routing out by Zoar church but would thereafter swerve to the west to open up the No. 1 region, a portion of No. 2 township and also serve a porticn of No. 3 township as well as the southern part of No. 6 township. At the conclusion of the various arguments Chairman Doughton had Engineer Browning explain why his engineering side of the contro versy. Mr. Browning explained one angle by saying that one of the first things in making such a sur vey would be to see where and what road the North Carolina highway would have to tap in South Caro lina. He explained that there is now a bridge at Dravo, to which point the direct route selected by him goes, and that it there joins the highvjay into South Carolina. South Carolina officials he added had Informed that they could no! afford to build another route to meet this state or a bridge and would desire that the new North Carolina route meet one of their roads now in existence. For this reason, the engineer explained, the survey was made with the central aim of connecting with the South Carolina road and bridge. Contain ing he declared that the direct route can be constructed at less cost than could the Earl route, giving figures and mileage in substantiat ing his statement. After the engineer completed his statement several questions were asked and answered by the various parties concerned and then Chair man Do ugh ton stated that he and the two commissioners would relire to an adjoining room and make their decision if possible. After 20 or 30 minutes the three returned to the room and Mr. Doughton an nounced that their decision would uphold the route selected by the engineers, which is the route known in this county as "the direct route.” There was some elation and seme disappointment in the court room and small groups of citizens frcm lower Cleveland remained about the court room for some time discuss ing various angles of the county’s first major highway controversy. Fire Sale Starts Here On Friday The Ingram-Liles fire sale is on the cards for Friday, the doors ol the store scheduled to open at nine o’clock.

This Ingram-Liles sale is an nounced to be a complete clean out of the stock of the establish ment.

Gold Comes As Shock To County Hoey Talked Again In Senate Contest (Continued Prom Page One) be sure to carry the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and tenth con gressional districts, with a good chance to carry the seventh and eighth districts as well. They main tain that the majority of the Dem ocrats in the state believe it is time to make a change, that they are dis gusted with Senator Simmons and want a younger man who is a more representative Democrat. Thus they believe that the majority of the more progressive Democrats will flock to Bailey’s standard. The majority of the old timers here, however, do not believe Bailey will stand a show against Simmons and his organization, especially with tne combined influence of the Mc Lean and Gardner factions both working in unison with the Sim mons forces, even though many of them would personally like to sec Simmons displaced. They still re member the extravagant claims of the Smith forces last fall and the way they pooh-pooh-ed the ant. Smith Democrats and then the manner in which Simmons out smarted all of them by showing that he knows North Carolina voters and what they will do better than any one else. As a result, they do not think Bailey could carry more than the first, second, third, fourth and ninth districts, if that many. For they maintain that many Demo crats who voted for Smith last No vember did so with mental reserva tion and that many of these will now vote for Simmons, along with all the original anti-Smith Democrats and the 70,000 or more wfb did not vote at all last November. However, tnere seems to oe no sentiment among the Simmons Democrats to try to head off Bailey or keep him from running. At first there was a fear expressed that if Bailey did run against Simmons, it would tend to reopen the issues of the 1928 campaign and cause a split in the Democratic party that might result in the election of a Republi can senator. But now the bulk of opinion seems to be that it will be best to let Bailey go ahead and run, assure a real contest in the primary and thus bind all Democrats to sup port the nominee, be he Bailpy or Simmons and thus prevent the pos sibility of any Democrats voting the Republican ticket. He Get His. New York.—David Bernstein, who rented his seven-year-old boy out at $3 a day to a negro to pose as a cripple and beg, is to spend three yearn in jail.
