This bill would be, said Mr. Gardner, “a slap in the face of superior court Judges who use dis cretion between minor and serious offenses,” and “a dangerous bill which might make criminals out of young men and women who go to a party, take a drink and get ar rested, thus ruining a good future.” On objection of Senator Thomp son, of Cleveland, the Cloud bill to govern the election and salary of the mayor of Saluda was unfavor able reported. Representative Cloud sits in the house as a man without a party, claiming he is a Democrat, though elected as a Republican. 575 More Autos Listed In County At End Of 1934 Large Rise Is Shown In Transportation 5,875 Passenger Cars Registered In County, 850 Tracks; 462,676 In State.

Attorney* Argue Hauptmann Case Before Jury Today Attorney General. went before the Hauptmann Jury in Flemlngton today with the state ment that “it wasn’t a case of’rea sonable doubt,’ but at "absolute cer tainty’ that Bruno Richard Haupt mann had kidnapped and murder ed the Lindbergh baby.

It is well known that qs his de fense ends he is disheartened and dissatisfied with the case as pre sented by Reilly. This morning, he spoke to his jailer for the first time about it. “What will the outcome be,” he asked. Dover P. T. Body Meets On Tuesday The regular meeting of the Dover school P. T.

One Conies Back, To Express Thanks Attaches at the local ERA of fice in the Lineberger building were somewhat surprised and quite a little amused over the week-end when one of the many many persons whom they have helped, "came back” to tell them he was grateful. The office is not supposed to expect persons to thank them for things they give, but case workers do notice it, so when an old colored person came in look ing for his “missy,” his case worker, he said "he was power ful obliged for the medicine you have done give my wife,” and continued to say that other members of his family was sick and needed help. The amusing part of the story was that in trying to give him self a good reputation the old negro said, "I don’t drink no licker; I don’t go out at night, and I ain’t got but one wife.” He got the needed help.
