Profited By Past
Bridge Experience
Statesville Landmark:
The Shelby Star says that while
the floods to Cleveland county
streams "were almost as high as
they were In 1916” "not a single
n portent or costly bridge in the
country” was "washed away or
camaged.” That means, as the Star
points out, that Cleveland county
authorities profited by past experi
ences. The floods of 1916, says the
Star, caused a heavy loss to Cleve
land county In destroyed and dam
aged bridges. A little more than a
year ago ahother heavy flood did
much damage to bridges. This time
the loss is of small consequence. In
rebuilding the bridges the county
commissioners had in mind another
flood and built for high water and
built stranger. Iredell commis
sioners. it Is understood, have the
same thing in mind. This county
has more than a score of bridges to
repair and rebuild. It will cf
course add something to the cost
to build-for a higher water level
and strengthen the bridges as so
Texas Sheriff Gets
His Man—Always
Two-Gun Sheriff Manages To Get
HU Man Despite Cost Of
The Job.
Fort Worth, Texas —'The two-gun
Texas sheriff, like the red-coated
patrolman of the Canadian North
west Mounted and the business-like
detective of famous Scotland Yard
insists upon “getting his man,” no
matter how long it takes.;
Which is why A. B. Crouch, for
mer grain broker of the nearby city
of Temple, Texas, is now iif fail in
Helensville, New Zealand, awaiting
return to Texas for trial for an of
fense committed 13 years ago.
Thirteen years and 12,000 miles—
ordinarily that would be enough
time and space to put a man well
beyond the reach of the law.
But Sheriff John R. Bingham tf
Bell county, Texas, who Journeyed
all the way to New Zealand to get
proueh, is nemesis personified.
Crouch disappeared in the spring
of 1916,
Member of a prominent Bell
county family, a college graduate
and a capable and popular business
man, he established himself as one
of the leading grain brokers in
Texas. One night he vanished from
hie home, leaving letters to friends
stating that he was disappearing
forever, to begin life anew in a dis
tant land.
After his departure it was discov
ered that two Temple banks had
been swlnciledUoufc of 1130,000 by
forged billa of lading and other
documents. These forgeries were
laid at Crouch’s door.
Then began the search—ths 13
year search. Only recently tame
success.
In far-away New Zealand a real
estate man known as John Gr:y
was found to be Crouch. The fugi
tive broker had established himself
In a pleasant town half way around
the world and was confident that he
had left his past far behind him.
Now, Sheriff Bingham is absent
on his long trip to get Crouch end
bring him back to Texas for trial.
The search took 13 years and ex
tended half way around the earth.
But a Texas sheriff makes a spec
ialty of getting his man.

Calls On Woken To Rebel
Against Short Shirt Styles
A ringing call for women (o
revolt against their dressmakers
’edict of long skirts haa been
sounded by Fannie Hurst, au
thor, and long a spokes-maii
for emancipated womanhood.
Miss Hurst viewed with alarm
the new fail silhouette In cloths,
which faintly resembles the sil
houette carried In fond recol
lection by the soldier boys in
Cuba during the Spaniih-Amer
ican war.
. She viewed with even more alarm
the groups of short-skirted women
around Fifth avenue shop window
where the long, clinging garments
are on display, These girls haw a
look In their eyes. It is not, Miss
Hurst sadly noted, a rebellious 'ook.
It is a calculating and hungry look.
Once you get American women
into those outfits, Miss Hurst fears,
and where will their desire to rang
onto their new freedom be? It will
be gone, that's where.
Putting Them Back.
‘‘In the last seven years," she
said, “we have shown our heads,
released our legs from the thrall
dom of limbs and uncorseted our
torsoe, and these things have had
an effect on us in other ways. Now
Industry, with a buirk of its lmnd,
reaches out and attempts to put us
back."
Miss Hurst is quite bitter about it.
"The leg Is becoming nasty again,"
she asserted, ‘‘with its long silken
coverings of skirts. It Is no longer
merely a means of locomotion. We
are pulling in our waist lines, if we
have them. We are going right back
to where we started from, and yet
we go over to Hoboken and laugh
at the 'quaint* fashions of the 90's.
Must Walk Out.
"The new fashions Indicate a
mental yank-down. We have had
years of body emancipation that co
ordinates well with mental emanci
pation. Maybe we won't backslid?
mentally, Just maybe—but why the
chance? Women must not compro
mise. They must walk out on their
dressmakers when they cannot get
what they want.”
But Miss Hurst seemed to have a
hunch that women wouldn't walk
out. In fact, she gave the impression
of a voice crying out in a wilder
ness of disappearing shanks. She
seemed to feel that way about it
herself. For weeks she has been
practically locked up writing a new
novel called "Five and Ten.” She
pops her head out finally and what
has happened? All the hats make
women look like hound dogs, all the
skirts «re or. the floor at some point
in their hems, and all the laps have
moved several Inches nearer the
chins.
Miss Hurst would hot. say whether
she would call her next best cellar
"A Farewell to Legs.”

P. And N. Appeal
To Be Heard Soon
Charlotte Observers
The Spartanburg Journal re
minds that one of the important
cases to come up in the U. s.
supreme court this Fall is that of
the Piedmont & Northern Railway
Which seeks to obtain authority and
permission to proceed with the Mg
construction work of linking up its
line, between Spartanburg and Gas
tonia and other important exten
sions tn North Carolina. The in
terstate commerce commission rul
ed adversely on the road's applies -
tion, and the lower federal courts
sustain the ruling. The action be
fore the tribunal of last resort is
a protest against the Interstate com
merce commission having had ex
ercising control in the premises to
the extent of denying the electric
line the right to link up its road
as was originally planned by its
builder, the late James- Buchanan
Duke. Of course, as The Journal
suggests, “a decision favorable to
the P. & N. would be of far-rcach-1
ing significance to this section oi '
the Southeast. It would mean the :
launching of a permanent construc
tion program that would approxi
mate from $10,000,000 to $20,000,

Town Governed By
A Woman’s Prayer
Woman Treacher-Mayor Claims
Divine Aid In Louisiana
Town.
When the citizens of Montgomery,
Louisiana, three years ago voted a
woman preacher into office as ma
yor, there were plenty of residents
who wagged their heads, muttered
into their beards and sat back for
the new chief executive to fall at
the job. A woman, they said, might
conceivably make a good mayor, arid
so might a preacher—but never the
two together. Now, with this same
woman preacher mayor half way
through her second term, this little
city is practically unanimous in t ot
ing her the best chief executive
Montgomery has ever had.
Montgomery’s mayor Is Mrs. lull
Wardlow. Since she took office,
she has done the following things:
Wiped out the city’s debt and put
it on a self-sustaining basis.
Eliminated the rutted, muddy
streets and substituted level, well
paved ones.
Done away with the petty v ces
that are ordinarily the inevitable
features of small city life.
Secure for the r&y electric light,
water and gas service.
How has she done it? Her tsUow
citizens say that ft Is chiefly be
cause she is an intelligent, capable
business woman. But she herself
says it Is because she prays to the
Lord for help In every problem.
There was, for Instance, the mat
ter of the electric light plant.
Montgomery, which has between
eight hundred and one thousand in
habitants, had never had water, gas
and light service. When Mrs. Ward
low took office, she determined to
get these things for her city. But
like her predecessors, she seemed
unable to make any headway. Mass
meetings were held, civic leaders
were Interviewed—but nothing hap
pened. So Mrs. Wardlow went to
her home, knelt down and prayed
for divine help.
The next day, without any warn
ing whatever, a group of man came
to her and said that they were go
ing to organize and finance a stock
company to provide these services
So, today. Montgomery has a plant
that provides it with gas, electric
light, water and ice at very low
rates. >
