Try To Halt
King's Appeal
For New Trial
Effort On Saturday
To Stop Appeal
Hoey And Falls Do Not Believe
Chance For Life Will Be Denied
Rafe King.
Will Bale King, well known
Shelby naan, be denied an ap
peal for a new trial from his
death chair sentence because of
a technical error resulting from
a physical Impossibility?
Such a move will be made by So
llcitor Hines, of Lancaster, before
Judge J. K. Henry at Chester to
morrow, Saturday, but Attorneys
Clyde R. Hoey and B. T. Falls, of
Shelby, along with King’s lawyers In ^
South Carolma do not believe that |
Judge Henry will deny this chance
of life to King on such a flimsy I
technical error.
Anyway King’s lawyers are pre-1
pared to battle the movement when *
it is presented to Judge Henry at
Chester tomorrow.
Appeal Not Printed.
The reason Solicitor Himes will
argue that King’s appeal for a new
trial should be dismissed is that the
appeal was not printed and docket
ed within 30 days as the South Car
olina law requires. Hines prosecuted
the Shelby man last July when he
was convicted in court at Chester on
the charge of killing his wife and
sentenced to the death chair. King's
attorneys filed notice of an appeal
to the South Carolina Supreme
ccurt. • **
According to the South Carolina
law the appeal evidence must be
printed and docketed within 30 days
after counsel on both sides agree up
on the evidence to be presented in
the appeal document. This agree
ment was reached and the volumi
nous document turned over to Scuth
Carolina printers. Due to the fact
tnat tiie appeal document will con
tain about 1,000 pages of manu
script when completed the printers
have not been able to complete the
printing and have the appeal dock
eted within the required 30 days.
Cnrear*. nable.
"It was a physical impossibility
for the printers to get the vast doc
ument printed within that time,'
Clyde R. Hoey, one of King’s Shelby
lawyers said today in commenting
upon the attempt to halt the ap
peal, “and we cannot see how the
South Carolina court can take away
a man’s final chance, his appeal to
the highest court, because of a phys
leal impossibility which was no fault
of his or of his counsel.
"Sure, we are going to strongly
resist Solicitor Hines motion to dis
miss the appeal. Col. Thos. F. Mc
Dcw, of York, and Hemphill and
Glenn, of Chester, attorneys asso
ciated with Mr. Falls and myse.i
will appear in the Chester court to
morrow when Mr. Hines presents his
dismissal motion and will fight the
movement. If it were some fault
upon our part that caused the dock
eting of the appeal to be delayed it
would bfe another matter,” Mr. Hoey
continued, “but as it is we can see
no fair and logical reason to dismiss
the appeal of our client and we nil,
resist it.”

Georgia, team of the Southeastern
league to which he belongs. Young
Lee joined the Columbus team last

Years Without Luck
Mrs. Lee Still Searches For Boy
Who Enlisted In Army Back
In 1927.
Rulherfordton.—For more
than 12 years, Mrs. Mary C. Lee,
of Rutherford county, has been
seeking her son, James Robert
^2. Lee.
Still hopeful, Mrs. Lee recent
ly asked the war irepartment at
Washington and the American
Legion to help find her boy,
who enlisted for the World war
in 1917 at Fort Worth. Texas,
with battery 1, 133rd field ar
tillery. His colonel's name, she
says, was Logan.
Announcement of his enlist
ment was the last Mrs. Lee
heard of her son. Did he go to
France? Was he killed in ac
tion? Is he the unknown sol
dier who sleeps at Arlington?
Or is he alive today, a victim of
shell shock?—these are* some of
the questions his mother asks
as she continues her search with
undying hope, and believes some
time she will find him alive.

Shelby To Have Three Weeks Of
Court. Hum And Dope
Cases lip.
Beginning Monday Shelby will
have three consecutive weeks of
court.

Gaston Prisoners.
Four prisoners from Gaston coun
were brought here and placed in the
county Jail last night to await a
hearing in Federal covrt next week
The majority of the Gaston defend
ants are charged with violating the
prohibition law'. One of seven de
fendants coming from that coilnty,
however, is a 12-year-old boy. Lon
nie Allen, charged with the robbery
some months ago of the West Gas
tonia post office. The charge against
the youth is that he crawled through
the package shute of the pcstoffice
there to make his alleged theft. Six
of the Gaston defendants were
lounded up by Deputy Marshal F.
B. Hamrick, of Boiling Springs, and
Federal Prohibition Officer Oilley
Shelby will contribute only a few
whiskey cases to the Federal dock
et, it is understood, although quite a
number of mconshining cases work
ed, up in the South mountain sec
tion of Cleveland and Burke
will be tried before Judge Webb.
One of the local cases will be the
trial of the two men arrested at
Waco with a quantity of dope in
their possession.
The term will likely last only
about three days.
Many Contribute To
Clothing Fund Here
Score of Children Clothed Here In
Week Through Welfare
Gifts.
Something like 20 little Shelby
boys and girls, who due to the pinch
of poverty have not been decently
clothed in some time, were this
week outfitted with clothes by Wel
fare Officer Smith, the clothing be
ing contributed by Shelby and
Cleveland county citizens.
“The appeal for cast-off clothing
for poor children of the town nas
received the best response of any
appeal ever made to the people of
the county through the welfare de
partment,” Mr. Smith said today.
Although enough clothing to out
fit about 20 youngsters has been
given by individuals and church or
ganizations, Mr. Smith says that
there are quite a number of chil
dren yet about the city who are not
properly clothed and their families
are unable to provide clothing for
them. The appeal for second-hand
clothing is being made so that wnat
money there is in the welfare
treasury may be used for purchas
ing food in charity cases.
Other families who have second
hand clothing which is not in os<
are urged to notify the welfare offi
cer who will call for it, or the
clothing may be mailed to hirq or
left at his office in the court house.
County Heads
For Bailey And
Simmons Picked
Royster And Mull To
Be Managers
Wythe Royster Manages Railev
Campaign Here And .1. C, Mull
For Simmons.
Campaign managers in Cleve
land county for both Juslali W.
Bailey and Senator F. M.
Simmons were appointed here
yesterday. Mr. Wythe Royster,
one of the county's best known
business men, will manage the
Halley canipatgn and Mr, J.
Cullen Mull, well known farm
er, will manage the Simmons
campaign.
Mr. Mull was named county
manager for Simmons at a meeting
held yesterday afternoon In the
county court house for the purpose
of organizing a Simmons club here.
Mr. Royster has been sought uy
Bailey leaders as a campaign mana
ger for some weeks because he has
never been an office-holder or a
professional politician.
Sees Bailey Winning.
"It Is my firm conviction, and I
have recently been In several sec
tions of Eastern Carolina on busi
ness, that Mr. Bailey will be the
nominee of the Democratic party,"
Mr. Royster said in announcing that
he would manage the Bailey cam
paign here. "Everywhere I have
been the sentiment for Bailey Is
strong, and regarded as one of tne
state’s clearest thinkers and must
loyal Democratic leaders, f believe
the Democrats of North Carolina
i will send him to the United States
senate where he will ably represent
the state and party,
“I, likewise, am confident, that
he will carry Cleveland county. I
know that the sentiment In the
state and In Cleveland county is
divided but I believe Mr. Bailey's
strength is the greatest. As a busi
ness man myself, rather than a pol ■
itician, I know that a big percent
age of the business men and farm
ers .with. whom I have talked seem
to favor Mr. Bailey as the party's
representative. In accepting the
managership of his campaign I do
not plan to inaugurate any attacs
against Mr. Bailey's opponent. My
Idea Is to show that Mr. Bailey,
whom I am supporting, is the best
fitted and most able representative
the democracy of the state can send
to Washington. I readily concede
the right of others to differ with
their view, but I firmly believe that
the majority of the Democratic vot
ers of Cleveland county, and also
of North Carolina, agree with my
viewpoint. In handling Mr. Bailey’s
campaign I will appreciate the sup
port, influence and votes of every
Democrat In the county.”
Some well known woman of .the
county will likely be named later, it
is said, to head the campaign to or
ganize the women voters for Bailey.
Organize Townships.
The meeting of the Simmons sup
porters at the court house yester
day was attended by Mr. Mull, the
county manager; Frank Grist, of
Raleigh, commissioner of labor and
printing, and other. The Simmons
boosters had very little news to
make public following the meeting
other than that Mr. Mull had- been
named manager and that the coun
ty would be organized by townships
for Simmons. A secretary and treas
urer for the county Simmons club,
it was stated, will be named soon.
T-his office will likely be filled by
some lady of the county.
Simmons clubs, it was stated aft
er the organization meeting, will be
organized in every township in the
county, and "we arc going out with
the Intention of winning the coun
ty for Senator Simmons,” one sup
porter declared after the meeting
adjourned.

Twenty Five Years

Twenty-five years ago about 35
families left Cleveland county for
Chase City, Va. All of them were

Cleveland, but W. D. Adams stayed

brother, R. G. Adams of the Latti

today stated that he grew both cot
ton and tobacco, but says it is hard
for a Cleveland county farmer to

since all of his training and thought
has been on cotton.

New Planet Found, Is More Than
1,200 Times Larger Than Earth
Forty-Five Times Farther Away
Than Mother Earth Is From
Sun; Discovery Thrills.
Flagstaff, Ariz.—The presence of
a ninth planet in the letinue of the
sun, long suspected, was definitely
announced here this week by Dr. V
M. Slipher of the Lowell observa
tory. He headed a group of eminent
astronomers whose gropings in the
milky way with telescopes and
cameras located the new sphere.
Way out beyond Neptune, tagging
bashfully behind his brothers, tne
new planet’s exact whereabouts,
size and age are still unknown and
It hasn’t even got a name. Its pres
ence was mathematicalv predicted
years ago by the late Dr. Percival
Lowell, noted scientist, who found
ed the observatory here, partly for
the very purixise of identifying it.
Other noted astronomers, notably
Dr. W. W Campbell, director of
Lick observatory, verified Lowel)3
calculations.
Today the faith in those calcula
tions was rewarded by an announce
ment by Dr. Slipher that the new
planet had been "sighted” last
January 21 by an extremely deli
cate photographic lens, developed
for the search. Announcement was
withheld, Dr. Slipher said "until we
were absolutely sure.”
The discovery revealed that the
planet Is forty-five times as far
from the earth as the earth is from
the sun. Although its size has not
been definitely determined. it is
believed it may be bigger than Jup
iter, largest member of the solar
family, which is 1,200 times larger
than the earth. ,
