I’oey Does Nat
Talk 01Future
Shelby Man Refuses To Talk Poli
tics In Charlotte. For Tur
lington View.
Charlotte, Feb. 27.—Clyde R. Hoey,
Shelby lawyer, brother-in-law oi
Governor Gurdner and one of the
Rate's foremost figures in the Dem
ocratic party, here for a short while
yesterday on his way to Raleigh,
miled his usual winning smile,
hopk hands around the court house,
commented generously on the
weather, hard times, the lack of
news, and all that sort of thing, and
quite cleverly avoided all mention1
bt things political.
The nearest the genial Shelby]
man came to saying anything that;
might provide a little newspaper]
copy was his agreement that the I
stand of Zeb V. Turlington, Moores-!
• llle lawyer, in which the latter de
clared Tuesday that; in his opinion
ihe Democratic party should not
make prohibition an issue in the
forthcoming campaign, was "quite
logical.”
He said, however, that “looked
like” the state road bill "might
pass,” that he was feeling fine, was
on his way to Raleigh, would not
likely remain over to hear A1 Smith
address the general assembly Mon
day, et cetera, and so forth, but not
a word did he venture as to his
possible or probable campaign
against Senator Morrison in 1932.
i,he senator's action in opposing
Charles A. Jonas for the district at
torneyship, et cetera, and so forth.
Condition Of Clint
Newton Unfavorable
J. Clint Newton, prominent young
lawyer and Bible class teacher, re
mains about the same at his home
on West Marlon street. At noon to
day he talked to friends in an intel
ligent and coherent manenr for five
minutes. Heretofore, he has been
sleepy and drowsy, unable to hold
a conversation. He is badly swollen
from the kidney trouble and nis
’kin show a bad toxin condition.
i Odd Angle In
King Case Up
Again In May
White Man Never
Convicted There
No White Man Has Been Sentenced
To Death At Lancaster, New
Trial Site.
No white man has ever been
sentenced to death at Lancaster,
South Carolina, where Rate
King. Shelby man, will be tried
tor his life the second time in
May.
This unusual angle developed this
week when the second King hear
ing was postponed from March 30
until May.
Concerning the postponement a
York dispatch says:
Rafe P. King’s second trial for the
alleged slaying of his school teacher i
wife, Faye Wilson King, will be call
ed at a special term of court hi
Lancaster In May, it was announc- j
ed here.
The first trial was held at Ches
ter, having been transferred from
York, but the second will be held
in Lancaster due to granting of an
appeal for a change of venue from |
Chester. . , i
May Move Ilim.
Thomas F. McDow, attorney for
King, announced the approximate
date of the new trial after a con
ference with the solicitor and pri- j
vate prosecution counsel.
He also said that a supreme court
justice would be asked this week
for an order removing King from
the state prison to the Lancaster
county jail to await trial.
Third Chan re Made.
Date for the trial had previously
been set for March 13. thet| was
changed to March 30, and today’s
change was forced when It was
learned that regular court sessions
were scheduled for Lancaster from
now until May.
King was indicted for murder
more than two years ago, was con
victed and sentenced to death, but
the supreme court granted his plea
for a new trial.

Wyeth Royster Discussed to Fill
Ward Two Vacancy. Dr.
Gidney For One.
—
Although there ate two xn
nounred candidates for may>r
and three for the city board,
Shelby's political pot, usually
boiling several month; prior to
the municipal election, refused
as yet to even simmer,
If there is any active campaign
ing under way there is no other in
dications evident. The announced
candidates evidently are withhold
ing their major activities * until
nearer election day so that citieans
will not lose interest from a long
drawn out campaign.
Two Talked.
Ward Two residents are still dis
cussing prospective candidates for
that ward since Alderman Ab Jack
son has let it be known that lie will
not seek reelection. Mr Chas. C.
Coble Fas mentioned •» week or so
ago, and this week it was learned
that friends of Mr D, Wyeth jloy
ster are endeavoring to get him to
make the race. So far he has had
nothing to say privately or publicly
about it. Mr. Royster has never en
tered the political field in behalf of
himself, although for iv:o campaigns
lie headed the young Democrats of
the county and also managed the
successful campaign of Senator Jo
siah Bailey.
In Ward One, in which Mr. P. M.
Washburn is now alderman and has
announced for reelecticn, friends
are discussing the assets of Dr. R
M. Gidney as a member of the board.
But Dr. Gidney, as is Mr Royster, is
leaving the talking so far to his
friends.
The other announced candidates
for aldermen, now members of the
board, in addition to Mr. Washburn
are Z. J. Thompson in Ward Four
and John Schenck, jr, in Ward
Tnree. Mayor S. A, McMurry and
former Mayor W. N. Dorsey are the
announced candidates for the may
oralty race. As yet there is no defi
nite sign on the horizon of a third
candidate to oppose them.

l)r. Zeno Wall, College President,
Visualises Good future For
Junior College.
See Editorial, Page 4
BOILING SPRINGS'
rUTCRF
With Bolling Springs Junior col
I lege, Baptist Institution, on a more
firm financial footing, it is hoped
within the. near future to add at
least three special courses to the
school which will better equip stu
dents for the problems of life.
This is the outlook of Dr. Zeno
Wall, Shelby minister who is acting
president of the collcse now.
New Courses.
The new courses, or departments,
Dr. Wall hopes to sec added to the
school will be a business cou.se,
home economics, and an agricultural
course.
The school at present offers Its
students literary traimng and min
isterial work. With ire three addi
tions, one a more complete and mod
ern home economics department, tne
school will be prepared to turn out
men and women trained in minis
terial work, in modern methods of
farming, in scientific Household arts,
and properly trained in basic busi
ness principles,
"Just when we will be able to add
these departments and improve
ments cannot be foretold,” Dr. Wall
sftys. “But the interest being taken
now in the school by three church
associations is encouraging, and the
more the school can otter to pros
pective students the more it will at
tract.’*
Many of the students who attend
Boiling Springs and other juniw
colleges, Dr. Waif points out, are not
in position to continue their educa
tion to, the higher colleges and u
versltles. As it Is now 1 toiling Springs
as is the case with tne majority of
the small institutions, does not com
pletely prepare graduates for any
special calling in life other than in
ministerial work. The literary edu
cation Is, of course, valuable and
worthwhile, but those behind the
school are looking forward to the
day when Boiling Springs graduates,
If unable to continue their educa
tion, will be so equipped that they
may leave the school and Immed
iately drop into some phase of life
for which they have been trained.
These future hopes sill also in
clude a teacher training department
With these addition,; the college
could train and turn out bookkeep
ers, stenographers, auditors, secre
taries, ministers, teachers, home eco
nomic Instructors, trained house
wives, and scientifically trained
farmers.
"Boiling Springs, if enlarged to
this sphere and we can by steady
effort make it, will then offer much
more to the boy and girl who deai'.e
the type of education that will pr '
pare and fit them for life and some
special work once they complete the
junior college.”
Womanless Wadding

The womanless wedding, given
last night at the Central school

be a very entertaining program.

Shelby man dressed in feminine

The William Grover Spangler
whose bones were found Tues
day In a thicket between Hope
well and Petersburg, Virginia,
was a native of Cleveland coun
ty, thr son of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Schenck Spangler of the
Double Shoals section.
Spangler, who was 42 years of ago
and an ex-soldler gassed during the
war, had been missing from Ills
home at Reidsvtlle for 18 months,
The American Legion had conduct
ed a wide search for him but noth
ing had been heard of him until
his bones were found this week.
The remains were identified by his
wife, whom he had married not
long before he disappeared, and by
her brother. A handbag containing
clothing, a pocketbook and cuff
links with the initials “ W .a. 8.”
aided in the identification. ’*
Last Seen. *
On Sept. 8, 1929 Spangler left
Reldsvltle for Petersburg, near
where he had an option on some
land. At Petersburg he hired a taxi
for the trip Into the country. He
was not seen alive again after drop
ped by the taxi so far as is known.
His trip to Virginia, his wife said,
was for the purpose of selling tho
option. Before leaving he told her,
she said, that he suspect foul play
as someone* might have It in for
him over the optioning of the land.
An examination of the bones did
not disclose any evidence of foul
play or of shots, and the widow aft
er an Investigation there did not.
It Is said, believe that there bad
been foul play. Only a few weeks
ago the government had made an
Investigation about his disappear
ance and was aided by local postal
authorities, Mr. Walter Hartgrove,
rural mail carrier, assisting in trac
ing members of the family here.
Spangler had been subject to at
tacks since he was gassed and th«
presumption now held by relatives
Is that he had stopped to rest while
having an attack in the thicket near
the roadside where the remains
were found.
The remains were taken t*
Reidsville from Virginia.

Wray Held On
2 More Counts
Officers Believe Negro Behind Big
Percentage Of All Store Rob
beries Here.
When Sheriff Irvin Allen and
Police Chief Poston arrested
Doug Wray, colored. In Gastonia
last Sunday, for robbing the R.
L. Armour clothing store here,
they are of the opinion that they
nabbed the key man In practi
cally- all of the store robberies
in this section recently. •.
Wray was today bo-md over to
Superior court on two more store
robbery charges, having been bound
ever in county court heretofore on
two other charges—a. total of four.
The first counts were for the rob
bery of the Armour store and the
Basil Goode grocery. Today Wray
was given a hearing on the chargs
of robbing the Keeter store at tha
Ora mill village and the Mauaev
den near 'the Seaboard station.
Goods taken from both stores have
been recovered.
Some time ago Police Chief Pos
ton said "when we get Doug Wray
we’ll have the fellow who knows
more about the majority of these
robberies than any other.” Thu
chief’s prediction seems to be hold
ing up well with the negro, said to
be unusually shrewd and daring, al
ready held for four alleged robber
ies.
