for the cheapest and safest
transportation possible, to take
you from your home to the Fair
Gbound and back. We have it in
the Hew Model “A” Ford and we
will welcome the opportunity to
prove this statement.
"How is the highway from here
to Bunkport?”
"Finest I ever detoured
We recently delivered the
Cleveland Springs hotel a nice
model “A” Station Bus. This
bus will be used for the trans
portation of the guests of the
hotel.
“My wife had run away with
a man in my car.”
"Good Heavens. Not your new
car?”
Mrs. Bloop: “Does your car
have a worm drive?”
Mrs. Bleep: "Yes, but 1 tell
him where to drive.”
Mr. Tom Dedmon came in the
other day and had us to fix up
a new Model “A” Tudor Sedan.
Ask him what he thinks of it.
A woman teacher, in trying to
explain the meaning of the word
“slowly” illustrated it by walking
across the floor.
When she asked the class to
tell her how she walked, she
nearly fainted when a boy at the
foot of the class shouted
“Bow-legged, ma’am.'
Motorist: “These chickens in
the road cause a lot of accidents
Farmer: "But not as many as
the chicken beside the driver.”
We also delivered Mr. Ray

Mr. P. M. Newton came in yes
terday and took a new model
"AA” truck home with him. He
was very lucky to get it yester
day. We had to get a special or
der through the plant at Char
lotte to get It for him. The great
demand for cars and trucks have
made the Model "A" hard to
get.
Miss Eulalia Elliott, R-2, Lawn
dale, N. C., came in the other

Sedan. She is going to use the

ter. I'm sorry children your

Why take life so seriously?
You’ll never get out of it alive.”
Girl Friend: "John, what do
you think of the Community
Drive?”
John: “Oh, I know a much
better place to park than that,”
The Model "A” has proven
that it is a car fit for a King.
King Alfonso, of Spain purchas

the colony, took the witness stand
to give an eye witness account.
Says Shotguns Drawn.
He testified a guard had tried to
stop them when they entered the
grounds occupied by the strikers,
that four men inside the labor hall
drew shotguns on him when he
went to the door, and that men
women and children had cried out,
"Shoot them, shoot them,” as they
were walking away.
Then loiiowed the salvo or shots
from knot holes Inside the building,
and after he was shot down by a
load from a shot gun. he turned and
fired his pistol once before a second
load knocked the pistol, out of his
hand and he lost consciousness.
Mrs. Grigg On Stand.
Roach followed Mrs. Walter Grigs
to the witness stand. It was Mrs.
Grigg who had called the police to
come to the tent colony, she tes
tified, after she had understood one
of the strikers nad been injured.
The other witnesses today includ
ed Otto Mason, who occupied a
house adjoining the grounds occu
pied by the strikers and who saw
the shots fired that killed Aderholt.
Likeness Of Chief.
The most dramatic moment of the
day came early in the morning just
after Dr. McConnell, the first wit
ness, took the stand. A life sized
figure shrouded in a black drape
was turndled into the court room
at the request of Solicitor John G.
Carpenter. It was halted where
every one could see it and defense
attorneys began a chorus of objec
tions. The shroud was removed and
there clad in the dead man’s blood
spotted clothes, wearinjg his slouch
hat and strapped with his “Sam
Brown” belt was a likeness of the
police chief in p’aster of Paris cast.
Defense attorneys continued their
projects. They agreed to admit into
the evidence that the police chief
had been wounded and Judge M. V
Barnhill ordered the figure carted
from the room.
Dr. McConnell, however, intro
duced some important testimony
later without the aid of the figure,
showing that the police chief’s
wounds had all been in the back.
Says McGinnis Fired First.
Mason, in his testimony, declared
that W. M. McGinnis, a guard at
the colony, had fired the first shot.
He made the statement on cross ex
amination in response to a question
by Judge Barnhill.
“I ask you if one of the officers
did not fire the first shot and if
McGinnis did not fire into the
ground?” Tom P. Jlmison, defense
attorney asked.
“No,” Mason replied.
Mason said a “crqwd” standing at
the doo* of the labor headquarters
had shouted "shoot him, shoot him”

Women Smokers Adding To
Consumption Of Cigarettes
New Geography Is
Order Of Day Now
—.—
Washington.—Changes have been
breath-taking swift in the capital
of Europe's newest monarchy: Tira
na. Albania.
Seventeen years ago Albania was
a province of Turkey. For a brief
interval before the world war it was
an independent monarchy, ruled by
a German prince.
The country was occupied by the
entente in 1917 and then became a
republic. In 1925 Ahmed Beg Zogu
was made its resident. Last Septem
ber, President Zogu became King
Zogu. And within the last few
weeks the king has changed his
name: he is now King Zog I
Albania was virtually an unknown
land before the world war; and Tlra
na was as little known as the rest of
the country, the National Geograph
ic society points out.
Durazzo, the chief city, and now
the port for inland Tirana, was the
capital Iin those days and the most
visited spot in Albania. Tirana lay
only 20 miles inland, but the road
was almost impassable and the only
mode of conveyance was by spring
less oxcart or by donkey-back.
Since Tirana was made the capi
tal the situation has completely
changed. An excellent highway con
nects the capital and its port.
The mosque, domes and minarets
that once dominated the city’s sky
line are being encroached upon by
modern government buildings and
legations of foreign governments
who recognize Albanian sovereignty
Hotels are also poking their upper
stories above the red roofs of oldl
Tirana’s mud-walled structures, and
new avenues, parks and public gar
dens have been laid out for the en
joyment of the city’s inhabitants
and guests.
Albanians are not a traveled peo
ple. Their first railroad now is un
der construction between Durazzo
and Tirana, and save fc» a narrow
rim along the Adriatic seaboard,
there are few roads within the coun
try’s borders.
But the social aspect of the capi
tal has changed with the coming of
representatives of foreign govern
ments. At the new sports club, Al
banians rub elbows with resident
diplomats, and the Albanian women
now compete against the ladies of
the legations on the tennis 'courts.
The Tirana market place is one of
the few spots in the city that has
not been disturbed by the new
comers and here, among the vege
tables and fruits piled on the cob
bles roam folk of the surrounding
mountains and valleys, apparently
unmoved by the changes taking
I place in their capital.
A movement has been started for
sensible summer clothes for men.
But the trouble Is that sensible
clothes look so silly.—Nashville

of the Jones law, liquor prices in

Per Capita Consumption In United !
States Increased From 820 In
1927 To 856 In 1928.
Washington.—Women smok
ers aided materially in bring
ing the per capita consumption
of cigarettes in the United
States from 820 in 1927 to 856
for last year. The commerce de
partment announced that 102,
765,000,000 cigarettes were con
sumed in the United States
last year which represented by
far the greatest cigarette con
sumption of any country in the
world. This represents a jump
from 97,307,614,719 cigarettes
smoked in 1927.
Cigarette smoking in this
country, it was said, has in
creased steadily since the war
and consumption for last year
was in line with the normal
growth. Women were credited
with contributing largely to the
increase.
