Decrease In Auto Sales During June (Special to The Star.) Raleigh, July 13.—Sales of new automobiles and trucks In North Carolina showed a slight de crease In number In Julie from the number sold in May, and the sales are considerably below those of June last year, the report of Director I,. S. Harris, of the Motor Vehicle Bureau, shows. June sales numbered 1130 automobiles and £81 trucks, as compared with 1450 automobiles and 291 trucks In May, and with 2330 automobiles and 448 trucks In June of last year, the figures show. Cords led In auto mobile sales with 072 and Chev rolet* were second with 489, while each of those two makes of trucks Nold in June was 124. The Plymouth took third place in car sales, with 82. the remain ing 207 ears being distributed among more than a dozen makes. shoes were lacking. .. .The storekeeper happened to pull down the pair of shoes I fell in love with ... It was his third grab from the top shelf. . . and I told him that I‘d take them, Having gone barefooted for Die past 17 years, more or less, my feet had done, con siderable spreading and they looked like 2 fly-swatters. . . .The man told me I needed a size 7. and he said the shoes he had wrapped up for me was a size 7 EE. I found out latei; that EE dtd dent mean ease. I have always be lieved that that man should have sold me a number e-OGCl. Anyway I gave him all of my money and betook myself home: we lived only 14 miles from the nearest store . . . just a 3-hour trot. . . .This event took place in August. A big campaign meeting was to be held during the week that I bought my shoes and I had selected that occasion to introduce the patent leather shoe style to the communi ty of my birth. That memorable Friday came round at last. I had got up early that morning and slop, ped the hogs and fed the cows and took a bath in the creek behind the barn. . . .1 finally got those number 7 shoes on my number 10 feet. The temperature at 10 o'clock that morning was at least 97 in the shade of the old apple tree, where I finished dressing. I hobbled around the house a few minutes and then set out for Smith's Cross Roads. I decided to walk to the meeting, as there was no other way to get there. . . except run, and I coulddent do that. . , .Them shoes commenced to bite and pinch mid squeeze and mash and hug and twist my “dogs" be fore T got n mtle away. I was walking pigeon-toed, but that was sent very unnatural. I sat down on a stump and unloosed tny suffer ing feet; after a short rest, I work ed 25 minutes getting 'em back on. ... I finally arrived at the meeting place. I got a scat In the hot sun close to my sweetheart, X was suf fering. Big tears were rolling down my jaws. She asked me who was dead and I told her grammaw. The candidates began to speak. They talked about Free Silver and 16 to 1, but my toes and fallen arches ! were bleeding and burning. They jmentioned the tariff; I thought the tariff was a new kind of food, but my agony continued. , . .1 heard very little at that meet ing. I saw nothing at all. Them patent leather shoes had rulnt my feet. When I regained conscience ness 5 hours later. I was walking Into our front pi-lzza at home, bare footed, but happy. Nobody, not even me. ever found out what be came of that pair of feet killers. 1 w assent able to walk very good foi 6 mouth*. Special Judges Act WiULikely BeModifiedNow Having Srrvrd It* Purpose In North Carolina May Hie Or Be Modified. (Special to Tlie Star.) Raleigh, July 13.—The Si>ec)al Judge Act, parsed In 1927 and re enacted by the 1929 and 1931 Gener al Assemblies, Is expected to be al lowed to die or be modified by the 1933 General Assembly, since there are Indications that it has almost served Its purpose, and Is not such a pressing need now. The RCt was passed In order to provide four or six special Judges to aid the regular 20 Judges because the dockets in many of the counties were all cluttered up with cases which could not be tried at regular court terms and by regular Judges, even when assigned to hold needed special terms. In some counties, notsbly Meck lenburg and Guilford, Judges have been assigned to hold courts almost continuously for six-months periods during the past few years. The same was true In Buncombe county until the general county court was established, thus stopping much of the court work before It reached the superior court. Forsyth has had ! a county court for several years, but for the trial of civil cases only, and has not' required the number of special terms as some of the other larger counties, as a result. lessening of the need for special Judges is shown by the fact that the docket in most counties are fairly well up. and the county com missioners, when It Is possible to get along without special terms, de cline to ask for them because of the expense. Also, the county com missioners, alone having that | authority, cancelled about 15 weeks of regular statutory terms of court during the past six months, the spring term. Regular term run for about 400 weeks and special terms for probably 50 weeks more in six months. The act requires that four judges be named and provides that two more may be, if the Governor con siders . them necessary. Governor Gardner carried over six Judges named by Governor McLean, but has not filled either of the three vacancies in the last year or two. Clayton Moore. Cameron F. Mac Rae and O. Vernon Cowper are the three special Judges now, and Judge MacRae has not been assigned courts for several weeks, due to physician's orders for a rest. Judge Thomas J. Shaw is an emergency i judge, subject to call as needed. Belief is expressed that the act, expiring a year from now, may not be reenacted, or the number of special Judges reduced. Each one costs the State about $8,000 a year. Salary and expenses. Some of It may be saved. j ■ ' ' ■ ’ Many “Bonus Boys Seek Rail Tickets Veterans Administration Keeps Of fice Open to Handle Rush of j Discouraged Veterans. Washington. July 13.—The veter-j arts' administration did a rush busi-1 ness last week in furnishing trails-1 portation to homesick, discouraged! bonus marchers. Long before the offices were opened a line of veterans was wait - ing to take advantage of the $100, 000 loan fund approximated by Congress to pay railroad fares and buy food. Officials said they did not know the exaqt number which had applied, but expressed the belief the appli cations would exceed 1,000 before tonight. The administration offices will re main open almost twenty-four hours a day, including Sunday, to accom modate the former soldiers who have been camped here for weeks. Despite the lure c*f comfortable rides home and the increasing food shortage in the camps, leaders of the “Bonus Army" hoped to confine I the departures to a comparatively few hundred. Walter W. Waters, commander, admitted that “some veterans” would take advantage of the opportunity, but continued to urge the men to remain until Congress meets their j demands. Say Kissing Safer Than Hand Shaking Paris—The Gallic custom of be stowing a kiss on each cheek is' more hygenic and sanitary than the (more phlegmatic Nordic habit of 'shaking hands, according to a ma jority of the French Acadamy of Medicine. The medical scientists insist that there are more germs on the aver age person's hands than on his or her lips, and because the average handclasp is more sustained titan a perfunctory peck on the cheek it is easier to transfer these germs from one person to another by shaking hands. The learned doctors say, how ever, that *t is less dangerous to grasp the horny hand of the toiler in the fields than the smooth, soft hand of city dwellers. It seems that the fastidious microbe prefers the more luxurious accommodation of 1 the urban hand.

X am a candidate for the office of sheriff of Cleveland county on a nori--partlsan ticket, and will ap preciate the support of the citizens. We live in a free and independent state In which all the citizens there of have the inalienable right to vote according to the dictates of their own conscience, and should not be told how to vote, and whom to vote for. Furthermore, the illegal absen tee ballot and whiskey should not be used In elections. If elected Sheriff on a non-par tisan ticket, I will be free to act as a public official ought to act or conduct himself In the administra tion of his duties pretaining to ills office. I believe that all the people's rights should be regarded and that all deserve consideration at the hands of a public official. My advisers will be the County Commissioners and their attorney. My sympathy will be for the poor, hardworking man and his family. I realise his hardships In life for I am now, and have been, a man of that class. After rearing a family of ten children and doing my best to edu cate and train them to be good, law abiding citizens, I know the handi caps of the poor man by experience. With the sniRll amount ot money or salary we larmers ana lawiwo *»» he mills receive for our labor, I am naturally in harmony with the ef fort on the part of the people to se cure salary reduction ct county of ficials. If I interpret popular opinion aright, the demand now is for lew »r men to hold public ofiice. I favor fewer deputies and in event 1 am sleeted Sheriff, I will appoint depu ties who have been elected con stables in each and every township. I believe in the old Jeffersonian principles back to the folks and not to the short ballot. The people of every township should say how, and who should enforce the law, in their particular communities. This will prevent many frivolous & uncalled for cases from being brought into court which use the law as a lever with which to pry money from the pockets of the landlords, tenants, young men and others. If only Just causes are brought to trial, the con gestion of the courts will be reliev ed and costs now paid by the coun ty will be reduced. With a deputy for each ot the el even townships to police his own territory, until ealled to assist oth er officers and the Patrolmen on the highways, with a fine force of officers to police SHELBY, KINGS MOUNTAIN, and otlizr incorporat ed towns in the county, with the aid of the Sheriff to assist his deputies, I believe the law in Cleveland Coun ty can be enforced to the satisfac tion of the people. This county can boast of its fine officers and Sheriff. Having had 10 years experience as deputy Sheriff, I believe that 1 am thoroughly qualified, and I will ilo my best to make the most efficient Sheriff the county has ever had, in dealing fairly and justly with the prisoners and the public in general. Yet we must have honest, effective enforce ment of the law in this County. I further pledge myself to protect the lives and property of our citizens. To the people not acquainted with me I present the following letters, which I received from men who have known me from birth, for your consideration. Bclwood N. C., June 17. '32 Mr. Cullen Mull, Shelby, N, C. I have learned from The Cleve land Star that you have complied with the law in presenting more than 1,000 signers to the Board of Elections asking for you to be a candidate for Sheriff en the Inde pendent ticket. As you see I signed your petition knowing you are com petent. As I have known you from your birth and adjoined larms with you for 30 years, 1 have never lived by or near ariy man that was truer or more honest or helpful to his neighbors than you. You would al ways rather help them than ask I help of them. True to your party. always helping your friends in the party, quitting your own work to as sist in theirs when they needed it financially. Will they apply the | Golden Rule? Cullen, to my mind there is no man in Cleveland County who de serves more consideration than you, who was always a friend to the poor the unlearned and unfortunate man. Deeply interested in churches, the effect from your life is still in this community. If I live until the election, I am going to vote for you. I am 81 years of age, voted a straight Democratic ticket all of my life. When I vote for you I believe I am voting for a man who lias devoted more time, interest, work freer for his friends and party than any other private citizen in the county. Sincerely yours, * (Signed.) M F. WILLIS. Belwood, N. C„ June 7, 1932. 'Dear Cullen: As you are in the race for Sher iff. running on the Independent ticket, don't be discouraged as | strictly party lines are breaking down, voting more Independent, I am glad to tell you that I will vote for you. I am 87 years of age. I have voted the straight Democratic tick et, since there was a party. I was a Report of the Condition of THE UNION TRUST COMPANY Of Shelby.

Milnor head of the cor poration, said today. The sale was arranged on long term credit and the corporation and the federal farm board which owned the wheat were severely criticised committee on that score and be cause of the allegation that China had resold some of it for cash. In fact, Milnor said the wheat was distributed by the Chinese na tional flood relief commission to starving peasants in exchange for labor on the dikes and levees of the Yangtze river valley* It made possible more than ‘2,000 miles ot flood protection in a report by M. C. Briggs, corporation representa tives in Shanghai. Briggs denied the sale of wheat for cash were in competition with private traders and said the sales were ethical, were based on the emergency due to the flood condi tions and the Sino-Jaoanese trou ble and that all money received went bank into relief work being used for transportatio nof relief wheat to interior points. | Present supplies were practically exhausted Briggs concluded, and the flood relief commission, faced with the possibility of ceasing its effort* was planning a more extensive pro gram “predicated on its ability to obtain additional supplies of wheat on liberal credit terms”.
