erford and McDowell counties arc
anxious lo join with Cleveland in
urging this road and he hopes that
this road might be put on the state
program next, .year. "Up to July 3
last year we had no state roads In
four townships of the county. Now
we have Nos. 3 and 2 townships
without state roads and these should
be traversed."
City Manager Urged.
In urging a city manager for
Shelby. Mr. Uinrberger raid no
private corporation which handles
ns much money ns the city of Shel
by, would dare try to operate wi'n
a manager on the job nil the time
rutting every corner possible. "Un
der our system, each administration
tries to do something that will leave
a monument, of Accomplishment.
Usually this monument, is In the
form of a debt, or deficit which the
succeeding administration has to
struggle with. Our county govern
ment, has proven < nr of jhe most,
efficient in the state and while
some people may threaten Mr. A
E. Cline and the county board of
commissioners, they stand In no
danger of defeat as long as they
work economies that reduce taxes
year after year. I would suggest
that the city have a rtty manager
of proven ability to whom the city
should pay a salary commensurate
with Ills worth. Then the aldermen
should be elected for two, four and
six year terpis so there would not
be a complete change of experienc
ed to new men every two years. A
dozen of Shelby's best, business men
should volunteer to sit, with the
board and advise with them or.
matters of better city government.
There is no need for the city school
board. All of these matters could be
handled through the city council
and one audit made to serve both
city and school."
Another feature of the program
was the vocal solos by Mrs. A1 Ben
nett, accompanied by Miss Ethel
Elmore at the piano. Mr. Newton
tn charge of program introduced
Mrs. Bennett as the "sweetest sing
er in Shelby" and she delighted her
hearers with four beautiful selec
tions.

Voodoo Doctor In

not. Cannon, slick negro voodor
doctor practioner from down at
Spart'nburg, who came up h.cie
with a bag of Indian roots and some
mysterious powder to collect fees
from unsuspecting black brethren,
has gone back to South Ca'tlny jus*
10 coupons and the costs poorer and
wiser.

upon innocent Tom Black, one of
Forest City's negro residents failed
to get Tom off his back and out oi

wrathful and "arrested" the pseudo

tin and the costs while his “cap

similar sums.
Says Incantation.
Believing the voodoo artist conic!
cure him, Tom Summoned ‘Doctor’
Cannon, whereupon the latter, afi
er having mixed divers roots and
herbs and powders of doubtful ori
gin and efficacy, began to intone
certain queer words over the re
cumbent patient.
Falling to raise his victim to tht
vertical, the doctor then sprinkled
the powder on the floor around
Tom's bed. Shortly thereafter Tom
arose, and so did his wife and
daughter, the trio claiming voci
ferously that every square inch of
their exposed skins was being rap
idly consumed as by fire.
"Doctor” Captured.
Cater the stuff on the floor was
found to be sulphur, bluestone and
boric acid. The doctor, apparently
having arrived at the conclusion
that his services were no longer j
needed, had started down the road
from Toni’s humble home, when he
was followed and brought bark at
the point of a gun by George Gage
and Isaac done,-, negroes also from
Spartanburg and friends of Tom.
Holding the doctor at Toms
house until officers could be sum
moned and could arrive, the two
negroes turned their captive ovyr
to the law. The voodoo doctor re
taliated by swearing out warrar's
against them charging fa!se nr

New York, In an address before
the Institute of Public Affairs
sought to defend the Methodist
offielal against attacks In the
press.
What appeared to he the great
er part of the audience indulg
ed In the noisy demonstration.
After the noise had subsided.
Mr. High rhangrd lo another
topic of his speech and left un
said the remainder of that por
tion In his prepared address
which referred to the Bishop.
He was seeking lo say that the
wets* resorting to mud-slinging
was an indication that the
"‘fight must he going badly.”
Though the audience booed
the speaker because of his ref
erences to Bishop Cannon, it
was generous in its applause for
Mr. High who upheld prohibi
tion in engaging in quasi-de
bate with Governor Albert C.
Hitrhie, of Maryland. The audl
cnee seemed to divide its ap
plause equally between these
two.
Mr. High had scarcely started
his defense of Bishop Cannon
before the audience started its
noise, causing the speaker to
stop. Mr. High then turned to
other phases pf Ills d'hatr.

! Snook Convicted Of
Murdering Mistress
Columbus, Ohio, Aug, IS.—Dr
James II. Snook, former Ohio State
University professor, lay in comity
jail today awaiting a sentence of
death in Common Pleas court
Monday for the murder of his co-ed
mistress, Theora Hix, or a favorable
ruling on a motion for a new tria'.
As the pandemonium following
the jury's verdict of first degree
murder broke out yesterday after
noon. Trial Judge Henry L. Scar
lett tentatively set Monday morn
ing as the date for a hearing on a
motion for a new trial It it, is de
nied, he said lie would sentence
Snook immediately.
Within five days from date of
sentence Snook must be removed to
"murders’ row” in the state peni
tentiary to await electrocution. His
attorneys said they would appeal
in the event their motion for a new
trial is denied.
Apparently I'mvnrricd.
The future hold; no tear for
Snook if his diffident attitude is to
be taken seriously.
In his cell in the county jail last
night six hours after the jury of
eleven men and one women had
found him guilty without merfcy. nr
complacently ignored tiie verdr:
that, carries with it the penalty -of !
death in the electric chair.
"T never gave the punishment, a i
thought until vou .mentioned it," ■jv ;
said to reporter:
And this expression In* mind
was borne on * bv the e.vpr'vmm on

He was sprawled on a cot in his
roll and a heavy blanket covered
him. The newspaper men inter
rupted his perusal of a popular'
magazine. A little While earlier, he
had eaten hearti'.y and amused:

many enthusiastic fans and then
there is the added advantage of the
nearby towns and cities which send

doubt the number of visitors would
be materially increased if the cali
