Starts Forging
Checks When He
Gets Off Gang
Police Officers Here Find Much
Forgery And Bad Checks In
Circulation.
Clarence Boyd, colored, worked
out his sentence on the No. 6 chain
gang last week and was freed Sat
urday night. A fellow doesn’t have
much chance to lay up a little nest
egg when pounding rocks for the
road commissioners, and Clarence,
seemingly, was in need of some
spending money Perhaps he wanted
to stage a little celebration with his
chocolate drop in observance of his
latest emancipation day. Anyway,
Just a few hours after Clarence
thook off the shackles a $28 check
written on O. C. Dixon was cashed
at Newton's grocery store in east
Shelby.
A short time later a $15 check
with the same signature was cashed
at Smith's service station. Both
proved, it is said, to be forgeries
and Police Chief McBride Poston
and his officers began to sleuth
about for the forger, Monday night
a colored man attempted to cash a
$9 check on S. S. Summey, the con
tractor, and the police chief got
wind of it. He found that the Sum
mey check resembled the two other
checks passed Saturday night and
within a few minutes Clarence was
back again in the hoose-gow where
he will likely remain until big court
comes along, and the odds are that
Clarence is headed back for the
rockplle.
It was the second arrest on a
forgery charge made by local of
ficers in a three-day period. The
other check writer, who is now in
jail, awaiting trial in Superior
court, is Beach Grayson, white man,
who is also acquainted with tne
guards at the convict camp.
Local police officers say that there
has been a wave of forgery and bad
checks about Shelby since the first
of the year.

Mr. Mull, Advisor

At Wrong Place, Cop Says
“ Move It.”
Raleigh—Influential “big wigs”
can often “high hat” the law and
get away with It, but not so with
the law of the Capitol Square as
made, interpreted and enforced by
Dan Terry, whose principality it is.
Take, for Instance, the case of
O. M. Mull, state Democratic
chairman, pardon commisioner,
secretary of the salary and wage
commission and executive counsel,
right hand of and father confess
or to Governor Gardner.
Monday Mr. Mull ignored the
signs and parked his car inside tiie
square. Mr. Terry ’phoned. There
was a delay. Mr. Terry 'phoned
again and politely but firmly told
Mr. Mull’s secretary what was what.
“I love Mr. Mull,” said Mr. Ter
ry, "but it’s the law and he'll have
to move the car right away or I'll
have an officer move it for him.”
t Mr. Mull moved.

Tax Cat For City Expected
To Be Made During Year
Is Opinion At City Hall
Bond To Amount Of SJ 19,000 Paid
First Year Of MeMurry
Administration.
A tax reduction of 25c may be
made In 1931 according to a state
ment made by Mayor S A. MeMur
ry who was forced to boost the rate
25c for 1929 to $1.50 per $100. "The
strictest economy lias been prac
tised and we have had to cut every
corner in order to keep from bor
rowing much money,” says the
mayor. During the first year of his
administration public improvement
bonds to the amount of $119,000
were retired, together with accumu
lated interest. Since the city's fiscal
year closed uly 1st, additional bonds
have come due and been paid. For
instance, Mayor MeMurry was
speaking without the records before
him, but recalled that in addition
to the $119,000 paid during the first
year of his administration ending
July 1st, 1929, $20,000 was paid In
November and $5,000 in December.
In January of this year $15,000 will
be due and paid and in February
$30,000 will be due.
The city’s treasury is being watch
ed closely and collections in the
water and light departments, the
tax department and the street im
provement department in order to
get money to meet the city's bonded
obligations when they fall due.
The boost of 25c in the city’s tax
rate was not received with any de
gree of welcome by the tax payers,
so there will be some comfort in
the hope that the 25c can be taken
off this spring on the 1930 taxes.
The city's rate on 1929 taxes was
$1.50 as compared with $1.25 in
1928. Mayor MeMurry says he can
not guarantee that the increase will
be taken off for 1930, but he is
working to this end.

of the fair officials.
Governor Gardner extended greet
ings at the afternoon session.
Dr. Clarence Poe of Raleigh in
an address said that fairs must
pay less attention to entertainment
and more to educational feaures.
Candidates Slack
Up In Announcing
For the first time in several Is
sues of The Star no candidate is
announcing today for public office.
Other announcements for several
county offices are in the offing,
however, but several of those talk
ed and getting themselves talked
about express the opinion that the
announcement season this year has
been a little premature. One man
who will likely be a candidate for
county office says that in his opin
ion it will be best for him to wait
some time yet. “The voters,” he
says, “are reluctant this far in ad
vance to line up behind candidates
for much may happen in the
months to come before the primary
date.”
No Meningitis Cases In This
Section, Says County Physician
Not A Single Case In County. No
Alarming Epidemic In
State.
There is not a single meningitis
case in Cleveland county or the im
mediate section adjoining tills coun
ty. At least no cases have been re
ported to Dr. D. F. Moore, county
physician, lie stated today.
In recent weeks quite a number of
meningitis cases have been report
ed in some sections of both Caro
linas and rumors have had it that
an epidemic is spreading, but the
facts do not support the rumor an
is shown by the following news item
from Charlotte:
The situation in North Carolina
centering around the occasional de
velopment of a case of meningitis is
not considered alarming by Dr. A. J
Crowell, of Charlotte, president of
the state board of health. “Any
form of meningitis is serious, how
ever,” he said.
No special report concerning men
ingitis has been submitted to Dr.
Crowell by Dr. Charles O'H. Laugh
inghouse, of Raleigh, secretary of
the board and state health officer.
"If there was anything of an un
duly alarming nature, Dr. Laughing
house would have communicated
with me,” said the board's president.
There are several forms of menin
gitis. it was explained by Dr. Crow
ell One form is “quite infectious,”
said Dr. CrowdU^mho recalled that
this form was epidemi^T^re in 1913.
especially among soldier? quartered
at Camp Greene. A non-ei^ernic
form of this disease, though cau?
a high death rate among those at

Bailey Is For Dry
Law, He Tells Editor
Points To Record With Anti-Saloon
League And For Prohhibitioh.
Not Hunting Revenge.
Raleigh.—J. W. Bailey, candidate
for the Democratic nomination to
the United States senate seat new
held by F. M. Simmons, made puo
lic yesterday a letter written by din;
to Clark Kinnaird, editor of,The
Edenton News, in which he said lie
would support the prohibition -law.'
In asking Mr. Bailey for his at
titude toward prohibition. Mr. ii.111
naird wrote that he was convinced
that prohibition was a failure and
that he wanted to support a sen
atorial candidate who advocated
modification of the law.
Mr. Bailey said: "My Personal
record is so well known to the
people of North Carolina that, f
take it that no one is in doubt as
to my position. I have consistently
been aligned with the prohibition
cause all my life. I am a candi
date for the United States senate
and as such I propose to stand
upon the Democratic platform."
The Edenton editor also asked
if Mr. Bailey’s campaign against
Senator Simmons was actuated
throiMh "revenge” for Senator Sim
mons* failure to support the presi
dential capdidgcy of Alfred E,
Smith.
The Raleigh attorney replied;
“Let me say that it had not en
tered my mind that by any manner
or means my candidacy for the seh
ate could be interpreted or regarded
as a campaign of revenge. To oe
sure, nothing of that sort is re
motely involved. I am offering for
the senate as a Democrat and oai
my record, which, I take it. Is
well known to the people of North
''©atfihna since I have been quite
acttvJhm public life for 30 years,”

up, arc so friendly with the entile

Wes Curry, well known colorcu

"try out your eye teeth, you puny

Yesterday Wes had just, enough in
his system to wish that Jack Jonn
son was still a young nigger so hat
he might show' the erst while it tic
champion just how flat noses are
made flatter. Wes had paid his tax
es but Wes had heard another negro
say he would not pays, his dues to
the county; so Wes decided to do
something about it. He visited the
sheriff's ofrtce. marched up to ‘he
'taxpaying window, braced 'himself
against the counter, and said to
Deputy Ed Dixcn "See here now,
I'm giving you orders to go out and
collect taxes from this nigger who
tells me he can get bv without pay
ing while T have to pay mine. ’
Deputy Dixon looked at Wes and
asked “How did you get that way? ’
or something like that.
The query didn't settle well with
xWes, who kept talking in a .one
that indicated '‘why bring that up?”
Wes was beginning to feel so good
that lie wasn’t in the humor to be
talked back to—even by the law.
Deputy Dixon eased around 'he
counter and patted the pockets of
Wes to see if he happened to do
transporting in addition to teddy
ing up a bit.
“Ifli hull.” he exclaimed as he
rocked oyer on the other foot.
"Thought you'd find a fellow who
didn't know' better than to carry
some with him. All I've got with
me is in me, and you can't do
nuthin about that. No sail.”
And then Wes reeled back on the
other foot and gave the deputy a
horse laugh as it were.
"No sah! You can’t do nuthin
with me for what I lias in me. tia!
Ha!”
"Maybe not,” the deputy answered
as tie took Wes by the arm and halt
led and half carried him to the
doer, where he handed the some
what inebriated negro over to Po

down to the cooler to cool off a bit,"
Today when Whs appeared in
