Chill; 11 Above Here George Wray says he didn’t get he Icicles off his moustache until le hit the North Carolina line. He returned at 1:30 this morning rom New York, where he trudged hrough the greatest blizzard since 888 on a buying expedition for Yray and 6 Sons. Sixteen inches of now fell on the sidewalks of New fork while he was there, and 50,000 >ersons were employed to sweep it iff, at a cost of more than one million dollars. "I came all the way from New fork City to the N. C. line without ouchlng the pavement,” said leorge^ “I mean there was ice on t. It took a whole day to get from lew York to Baltimore, and I guess saw 100 wrecks on the way. 3old? Veil, I guess. It was so cold if you hought a long thought it would reeze and break off in the middle.” George returned to Shelby con iderably colder than when he left t a week ago. Early this morning, he thermometer showed the tcm P i. a h c< S 7 k ti C m oi m oi a al 31 tg te a( di mature at 11 above, and at break - st time it had barely crept up to chill 14. Bright sun by noon time id dispelled most of the sharp ild, and temperatures were rising. A faint snow fell over the county inday morning between 6:30 and a. m„ but it was too cold for that nd of thing to continue. Fair, with slowly rising tempera re is the prediction for North irolina today. Kaiser Threatened Former Kaiser Wilhelm of Ger any celebrated his 76th birthday i Sunday, and the occasion was arked by the greatest gathering the Hohenzollern family since e flight from Germany into exile Doom, Holland. The dinner was le of the most brilliant festivals years. A dispatch to London yes rday said the Kaiser’s chef had tempted to assassinate him 10 iys ago. He was near a breakdown Friday afternooif when the trial recessed for the week-end. He faltered un der the tellings blows from Wi lentz, and was hanging on the ropes at the end. It is believed that he may break today—may confess the whole thing in hysterical con fusion, or may inadverantly blurt out the words which will fasten the crime on him. The state is ready to confront him today with some 80 glaring discrepancies in his story. On Fri day,. Wilentz produced the little account book Hauptmann had kept, and confused the witness with his spelling of "boat.” This word ap peared in the book and in the note of directions given to Jafsie when the ransom money was paid in the Bronx cemetery—and both times it was spelled “boad.” Moreover, the handwriting was similar. Nervous, about to break from the strain of hbf long gruelling, Haupt mann couldn’t explain that spell ing. He seemed on the verge of breaking when the session ended. MASONIO DEGREE WORK AT CASAR, JANUARY SOTH The Union Masonic degree team will confer work in the second de gree at Casar on Wednesday night, January 30th. All brother masons are invited to attend. Says 85 Percent Of People Favor Townsend Plan Fisher Urges Early Passage Of Bill Speaking before a court room packed with both old and young here at 2 o’clock this afternoon, W. B. Fisher, state organizer for the Townsend Plan for old age pensions, predicted an early passage of the bill and that “if President Roosevelt and his Democrats don’t do It, the Republicans will put Into their party platform two years from now and win the election.” Mr. Fisher, who Is from Andrews, has spent some time la making a study of bills, finances and statis tics about finances, relief and gov ernment told the gathering that 8S percent of the voters in the United 1 States would endorse the measure as it is now and that already 96 congressmen have promised to vote for it. Already In Congress “The bill," said the speaker, “has | already been presented to congress, ' and some of us poor people ought to write them and tell our repres entative what we think of It.” He said that in his opinion all the bills that have been presented since the 1 organization of the United States i have not meant more to the poor people than would the passage of 1 this bill which would give 6200 per month to all men over 60 for the 1 remainder of their natural lives, provided that they spend it every cent during the month it was re ceived. In the typical old fashioned prand of ringing mountain oratory, Mr. Fisher vividly described the condi tion of “the noor old man who had traveled down the path of a life of hard work. He is now old, bent and feeble and has been pushed Into a corner to eat relief bread and white gravy for the rest of his life,’ * effectively as giving poor people repeatedly made the statement that what the country needs is to have its buying power restored, and de clared that nothing could do it as errecfSvfel yas giving poor people ; money which they had to spend. Charles Freeman Sues H. L. Newman For “Persecution” Charles Freeman. Shelby taxicab driver, who is under grand jury in dictment for secret assault on H. L, (Roy) Newman, filed suit on Friday against Newman, alleging persecu tion in the courts and seeking to recover $500 damages. Freeman, through his attorney, P. Cleveland Gardner, said in his com plaint that on Jan. 3 a warrant for felonious assault was issued against him by Squire T. C. Eskridge on an affidavit by Chief of Police D. D. Wilkins, as a result of which he was subjected to the embarrassment of being thrown into the common jail without bond. Later, he was releas ed under a bond of $500. It was with full knowledge of this, he says, that Newman then went before the grand Jury on Jan. 9 and, as the sole witness, succeeded in having him indicted. This indict ment, he alleges, was obtained “ma liciously and without cause,” and wrongfully charges him with "secret assault with intent to kill.’’ Alleging that he was greatly em barrassed and shamed in the pres ence of his friends and had suffer ed great anguish of mind, he is suing Newman for $500. 1 ] i I i i ( i ] i i < f I If 1 c 1 t 8 e c i c r c f t 1 r c r t t c i \ t Proprietress Of Kings Mountain Hotel Is Buried' Funeral services were held today at three o’clock for Miss Emma Norris, 82 year old proprietress of 4 the Mountain View hotel in Kings v Mountain. c She died in Kings Mountain Sat- c urday night at 11 o'clock following a heart attack.

Production Credit Association Asks Clients Act Soon ’urpoee Of Organisation To Prevent Unnecessary Borrowings; See Big Rush Imminent. COLUMBIA. S. C., Jan. 38.— narmers of North Carolina, South . 'arolina and Georgia are making heir applications early to produc ion credit associations, according o a statement by the Production Credit Corporation of Columbia. According to the statement some issociatlons have already sent In ippllcatlons for more loans than vere made by the association last ear. Many of these applications are rom old members of the assocla Ions but there are also many com ng In from farmers who did not ivall themselves of the credit ervice offered by the associations ast year. See Rush Later Fanners who will need credit for ( rop production this year have ee nadvlsed to get In their appll ations now so as to avoid the rush iter. It costs the fanner nothing dditional to get his application < pproved now since he pays inter- ( st on the money only from the ( ay he draws It out until he pays < . back. 1 "The purpose of the production ‘ redlt associations,” says the state- < lent, "Is not only to provide ade- 1 uate and dependable credit but Iso to help farmers save money I tirough avoidance of unnecessary < orrowlng. There are two common 1 ilstakes about crop financing that ost farmers money. One Is to bor ow hi advance with resultant In- 1 erest charges for the period before t he money Is put to work. The I ther Is to wait until the last min- < te and not have the funds with rhlch to get cash discounts when he corn or cotton should be In the round. The production credit as oclations should help f aimers void both these mistakes."

R. Dt'NNAGAN RALEIGH, Jan. 3S—Activities of the general assembly last week were centered largely In committees, and especially the senate and house fi nance and appropriations eommlt tees, dealing with the revenue and appropriations bill, while the roads, (udiclary and health committees have had work to do. Governor Khrlnghaus, It to stated by close friends, would like ta ase his figures on salary Increases for teachers end state employees gen erally raised above his suggestion. If R Is possible to figure that this can be done with the money that will be raised by the revenue meas ure. If the lawmakers can find mon ey for a 30 per cent Increase, he would undoubtedly approve It, or oven a 25 per cent increase, if the budget can be balanced and that much paid. The revenue measure Is receiving more ettentlon, more general atten tion along now. The finance com mittee has been meeting, Senate and houae jointly, all the week and ap proving uncontroverted parts of the bill, and also reached hearings on th# section most controverted—the sales tax. The fair tax association, ui'ixmiiiK me saie* iax, nu had its dny, and the state merchants as sociation will have Its. End Tax Arfnments. However. "Inevitable" finally or not, the sales tax, without the ex nmptions of nine necessities, has been approved In general by the joint finance committees, although It still has others to hear In oppo sition. All of the arguments against It were prepared last week, unless new ones are to be sprung by the merchants. How the house and senate will treat the approval of the committee to the sales tax re mains to be seen. The Joint appropriations commit tees have been hearing state de partments, Institutions, agencies and will continue these hearing through this week, moet of them seeking to have the appropriations recommend cd by the advisory budget commis sion Increased; although some are satisfied with those figures.
