Wealthy Bey
A Suicide
Smith Reynolds, one of the |
youthful heirs to the big R
J. Reynolds tobacco fortune,
died in a Winston-Salem hos-!
pita! early today from a j
wound said to have been self
inflicted late last night. Reyn
olds and his second wife, who
was Libby Holman, famous I
beauty and throaty blues sing
er in New York musical com
edies, had entertained a party
of their friends at the Reyn
olds home. After the party
was over Reynolds, his wife
and two house guests retired
to their rooms. Shortly later
the guests heard a shot and
Mrs. Reynolds scream. They
ran to the sleeping porch,
found Reynolds fatally wound
ed and an automatic lying be
side the bed. He died four
hours later in the hospital
without regaining conscious
ness. Reynolds, not yet of
voting age, was a colorful
youth. He first married Ann
Cannon, of the wealthy Can
non family at Concord. Sev
eral months ago Reynolds, an
aviation enthusiast, carried
his first wife to Reno by
plane where she secured a di
vorce and a million dollar
settlement for herself and
child. Just a short time ago
it became known that the
voung aviator, following a
long airplane trip abroad, had
married Miss Holman, a
Broadway favorite. Relatives
and friends today could as
sign no reason for the appar
ent suicide.

Whooping Cough
Must Be Reported
Says Dr. Moore
Surest* That AI1 Take Typhoid
Vaccine Because Of The Mild
Winter,
There are a few cases of whoop
ing cough spotted over the county
says Dr. D. F. Moore, county health
officer and he calls attention to the
fact that this is a contagious dis
ease which call for quarantine.
Each case should be reported to the
county health officer by the par
ent or the attending physician. In
some mild cases, the parents diag
nose the case without having a
physician, so the case should be re
ported by the parent to the regular
family physician or to Dr. Moore
direct. There is a penalty attached
to a failure to comply with this law.
"Because of the mild winter, we
are likely to have more typhoid
fever than usual in the county,”
said Dr. Moore, and "I want to
suggest that all who have not done
so, take the typhoid vaccine. There
are about five cases in the county
now and unless every precaution k
taken we are apt to have more. The
vaccine Is a sure preventive and
can be. taken for a very nominal
cost. The county, however, is not in
position to pay for the vaccination.
That is up to the individual.”

The remarkable race of the pri-;

embracing the “wet issue in “dry”
North Carolina—allegedly dry—who
piled up a majority tnat may ex
ceed 100,000 or almost two to one in
a total vote of some 328.000, against

the 100 counties, to less than 10 for
Senator Morrison, the vote for the

At f#r«t City. Qmllnii Fur
mfr 1-Oeera,
Just how And why Geneva Wil
son, 30-year-old negro aevanr ot
Shelby, vtl killed last Saturday
night, may never be known.
After three days of search with
out any definite clue to work upon
rtty police were still questioning
and examining acquaintances of the
slain woman yet today. They are of
the opinion that, something may yet
open up or somebody will talk and
thereby furnish a clue to the iden
tity of the person who tattered the
woman to death on the east side of
the Central high school campus
Saturday night
The body of the woman was
found late Sunday afternoon by a
passer-by. It was just inside the
campus fence on the east side of the
school campus between the high
school and annex. She had been
dead for some time and was pre
sumably killed before midnight Sat
urday night. Her head was batter
ed in around the eyes and forehead
in a brutal manner. Funeral servic
es for the woman were held Mon
day afternoon at Forest. City.
One theory being worked upon is
that the woman had a clandestine
meeting with some man near where
the body was found, and that an
other man, or perhaps another
woman came upon them and killed
the womdfi. mwyhaps because ol
Jealousy. It is possible officers say
that if she met a man there that
mart could have killed her, but they
discount that theory. She was seen
talking with several colored men
Saturday night from 7 to around 9
o’clock. These men have been ques
tioned. particularly one. it in said
who seemed to resent her friendli
uess with another man. So far,
however, no one has been formally
arrested. A number have been ques
tioned and released and some are
stall under surveillance, while ef
ftoers continue their investigation
among the acquaintances of the
dead woman to determine what af
fair* she may have had and with
whom.

Curb Market Has
Variety Products
Fresb From Farms
Dairy. Poaliry And Vegetable*
Number .to On Tumdtv
Morning.
Thirty different products from
the form were offered at. the curb
market newt. to the Webb theatre
Tuesday morning And Tuesday Is
not a big" day at the curb. The
largest quantity and variety is
brought on Saturday Scores of
Shelby housewives gather there on
Tuesday and Saturday mornings to
buy what the farm women have to
offer. .
Here's what was on the “curb
Tuesday morning butter, milk, eggs,
cottage cheese, beets, self rising and
plain bread, cucumbers, tomatoes,
corn, butter beans, English peas
okra, milk fed chickens, ,1c 1 lies, cur
ed ham sliced, new Irish potatoes,
beans, peaches, carrots, whole whip
ping cream, dressed friers and
hens, cakes, and cookies, squash,
onions, cabbage and no doubt other
things which a hurried eye might
have overlooked.
The curb was established last
year by Mrs. Irma Wallace, home
demonstration agent and it has
been a huge success. It furnishes a
market for home-grown vegetables,
home-made dairy and poultry pro
ducts which are brought in fresh
twice a week The products are
properly prepared for market and
the prices are always in line. Some
times when a customer calls for a
product that is not In stock at the
curb, some housewife will take the
order and deliver it later. Cakes are
oft-times baked to order and many
housewives of the city depend en
tirely on the "curb" for their dairy,
poultry and vegetable products.
The farm women in turn take the
cash they have received to the
Shelby stores and buy wearing
apparel nr something else for their
home or farm.

New Three-Cent Stamp On Letters
Required Today; Rule Is Explained
IVHI Bf Marked “Pontage Due" If
Insufficient. Does Not Apply To
Postal Cards.
Patrons of the Shelby postoffice
who are careless enough to forget
that the new three cent postage rate
went into effect today will have
their letters returned to them,*Yn
cases where postoffice employes are
able to determine the sender. Post
master J. H. Quinn said today. *'
"Regulations require that mail
lacking sufficient postage be re
turned to the sender if we are able
to determine who mailed the let
ter," Mr. Qumn said. "When we are
unable to identify the sender, the
letter is forwarded to the addressee,
provided it has as much as two
cents' postage on it In this case.
the tetter is marked ‘postage due,’
and the amount is collected from
the addressee,’’
When the letter has less than two
cents in postage on it and the send
er is unknown, the addressee is in
formed. and the letter waits at the
postoffice at which it is malted un
til the required postage is received.
