Claude Bowers New Ambassador

New York Writer Appointed By
President. Two Women Being
Considered.
Washington, April 5.—Caught up
somewhat on his emergency legis

this week turned Briefly to the ab
sorbing subject of patronage. In a
burst of nominations he forwarded
to the senate the following names:
Sumner Welles, of Maryland, to be
assistant secretary of state.
Claude O. Bowers, of New York, to

Joseph W. Woodbrough, of Ne

1 Architect Here Says Federal Court Room Not To Be Added
To Present Building.
Architectural plans are now be
ing made for the enlarging of the j
Shelby post office, but these plans.!
it has been learned here, do not call
for the addition of a third story to
be used as a Federal court .room.
This information came as a sur
prise and disappointment to local
Interests who have believed all
along that the allocation for- the
enlargement of the local Federal
building included plans for a Fed
eral court room. Since sessions of
Federal court have been held here
the county court house has been
used through the courtesy of coun
ty1 commissioners. When the move
ment to enlarge the local office
was first initiated local civic clubs.
Postmaster J. H. Quinn. Federal j
Judge E. Y. Webb and others pe- j
| titioned that the plans call for a 1
Federal court room and offices. It
was believed that this additional
floor was considered In the build
ing appropriation made by Con
gress until Mr. Porter, architectur
al engineer of the Treasury depart
ment, made a visit here over the
week-end. He said that none of the
plans and specifications handled
through his ^department even men
tioned a Federal court room. It was
his suggestion that plans for the
enlarging of the office go ahead
without considering the court room
addition. The money available, he
said, would just about suffice to
provide the extra working space in
the present post office, since It was
necessary to take $20 000 of the $85,

Arrowood Gets Two
Year Term; Woman
Is Given Freedom
Farmer Pleads Guilt}' To Forcible
Trespass. Taxi Driver Tells
Of Trip.
Pleading guilty to forcible tres
pass, John Arrowood, farmer of No.
2 township, was given a two years
sentence in superior court here
Monday afternoon by Judge T. B.
Finley.
The sentence was the culmina
tion of a series of charges which at
tracted considerable Interest through
out the county and drew enough
spectators to pack the court room
for the hearing which consuced the
entire afternoon session Monday.
The original bill of Indictment
against Arrowood Included charges
of abduction and elopement in con
nection with the disappearance of
Mrs. Lucy Wyatt, young married
woman, who left her home about
the time Arrowood departed some
weeks ago, and also a charge of em
bezzlement. After Arrowood pled
guilty to forcible trespass in con
nection with the disposal of some
cotton said to belong to a tenant
the plea was accepted by the court
and the facts heard by Judge Fin
ley. Mrs. Wyatt took the stand and
denied having left with Arrowood or
having been with him during the
near three weeks they were both
gone from home. A Rutherford
county taxi driver, however, testi
fied that he drove the couple from
a point in their home section to
the railroad station in Spartan
burg. The young woman, however,
was not tried upon any formal
charge, and Arrowood was given
his sentence on the forcible tres
pass count.
Humphries Win In
Big Civil Action
Suit About Disposal Of No. 1 Town
ship Lands Ends In Favor
Defendant.
Superior court turned back to
other litigations here today after
disposing of the Jolly-Humphries
suit which occupied the time of the
court Tuesday and for a brief per
iod this morning. The session will
likely continue its grind for anoth
er day or so on civil issues.
The Jolly-Humphries suit, involv
ing around $17,000 worth of prop
erty, accruals, etc., brought up the
major legal battle of the present
court session.
The suit was that in which Mrs.
Nellie Settlemyre-Joily contested
the disposal of certain property in
No. 1 township under the will of
the late S. R. Humphries. The
property in question had been will
ed to Mary A. Humphries who in
turn deeded it to V. A. Humphries
and other heirs. The plaintiff’s con
tention was that Mrs. Humphries
was willed the property for posses
sion only during her liftime and was
not legally entitled to dispose of it.
The defendants held that the prop
erty was willed to Mrs. Humphries
In fee simple and therefore she had
a right to dispose of it as she did.
Judge T. B. Finley accepted this
contention in the interpretation of
the will and held that the plaintiff

Horizontal Cut
In Land Values
For This County
i Board Action Awaits j
Listing Figures
_
When Personal Property Is Listed
Horizontal Reduction In Val
uatlon May Be Made.
A horizontal reduction In valua
tion of Cleveland county property
as listed on the county tax books Is
In prospect, but depends to a cer
tain extent upon the amount of
personal property listed for taxa
tion during the listing work now
being carried on.
This was decided at a meeting of
the county commissioners this week
In compliance with the 1933 N. C.
Machinery act. This act requires
that on the first Monday In April
county boards shall decide whether
real estate shall be revalued by hor
izontal Increases or reductions or by
appointment of assessors and ap
praisers.
The local board—composed of J.
E. Blanton, chairman; J, D. Morris
and J. L. Herndon—decided upon a
horizontal reduction. Just what this
reduction will be cannot be fore
told. It will depend to a consider
able degree upo nthe amount of per
sonal property listed. Tax listers
are now at work In the county and
when their listing figures are ready
to be turned over to the board, then
the commissioners will be able to
determine what horizontal decrease
is possible In real estate valuations.
Much Charily.
Due to the fact that the day’s
session was swamped with appeals
for charity,, the board had little
time to transact other county busi
ness at its one-day session. The
horizontal decrease in property val
uation. the amount to be determin
ed later, was decided upon and oth
er business deferred until another
session soon, perhaps this week.

Payment Of Taxes Urged To Meet
Teachers Salaries; Delay Penalty
Three Percent Penalty Withheld By
Commissioners tTntll Monday,
April 17.
Hoping to kill two birds with one
stone ,or aid in solving two prob
lems, the Cleveland county commis
sioners announced today that the
three percent penalty on unpaid
taxes would «bt go into effect un
til Monday, ($>rli 17. The addition
al penalty w|K to have gone on un
paid taxes April 1, but the board
decided upon the emergency move
for two reasons.
Numerous taxpayers have had
their money tied up in banks and
therefore could not pay their taxes
prior to the 1st and thus avoid the
penalty. Also some time was re
qulred In checking out the retiring
sheriff and checking in the new
one. In delaying the penalty, which
could have been avoided by some
taxpayers had circumstances not
been beyond their control, the com
missioners and Sheriff Cline are
urging all taxpayers who can t}o so
to pay their taxes by Saturday,
April 15. By so doing taxpayers will
avoid the additional penalty of
three percent and at the same time
alleviate the problem laced in meet
ing the pay checks of county school
teachers. It is imperative, it was
announced at the court house to
day .that as many pay as possible
before the 17th so that the county
may be able to pay teachers of the
county for the seventh and eighth
months of school.
Beer Dealers Must Pay Counties
$25 License And $10 To Towns
Bill legalizing Beer In State Ex
plained. Cannot Restrict
Place Of Sale.
Just how legalized beer can be
sold, licensed or restricted in North
Carolina is explained, from a read
ing of the bill, as follows by The
Statesville Daily
The text of the beer bill which Is
on its way through the legislature
apparently gives no discretion to the
governing bodies of counties, cities
and towns In the matter of licensing
the sale of beer. In the barroom
days the local authorities had the 1
privilege of denying license to per
sons deemed unfit to engage In the 1
bnsioevs and they had the <ti*crp.'
4
tlon as to the place ot sale and the
municipal license tax. Barrooms
were not permitted in certain lo
calities. Also the people of the
municipality or the county could by ,
vote refuse to permit the sale under -
»ny conditions. The first section of ,
the beer bill reads: ^ j
‘That on and after the passage .
it this act It shall be lawful for any ,
person, firm, or corporation, to sell.
>arter, trade, exchange, or dispose j
)f beer, lager beer, ale, porter, fruit

appears that the goal will be reach

A committee from tne stockhold
ers and directors of the Union Trust
Co. has been calling on the deposi
tors since Monday and report grat
ifying success. Practically all de
positors who have been seen and
had the proposition explained to
them, have signed an agreement to
leave half of their deposit in bank
and accept the outstanding bank
stock as collateral. The other half
of the deposit would be Immediately
available.
Plan Approved
Tire plan on which the Untov
Trust officers and directors is work.
tng, has been approved by Gurney
P. Hood. state commissioner oi
banks. After the capital structure ol
the bank has been strengthened by
the depositors’ agreement to leave
$130,000 of their money with the In
stitution, application will be made
with the Reconstruction Finance
corporation to take $150,000 6r $200, -
000 in preferred stock In the Union
This will require a few days time
but when the plan or reorganisa
tion has been fully approved by the
state banking department and the
Reconstruction Finance corpora
tion, the bank will be re-opened
without restrictions.
The Job of calling on all deposi
tors with $200 or more money in
the bank Is no small Job as the Un
ion has branches at Fallston, Lawn
dale, Forest City and Rutherford
ton. It is necessary to go to those
places to sec the customers who
