TEMPERATURE TUMBLES
SHARLY IN FLORIDA

Tampa, Fla., Oct 25.—(AP) Sudden
drops in temperature caused shivers
thruout Florida today. Walter J.
Bennett, government meteorologist
here, described the weather as "un
usual" in South Florida, but stated
the cool spell would probably be of
short duration. "The biggest drop in
the mercury at Orlando where
weather bureau records indicated a
descent from 92 degress to 52 dewithin
the last 24 hours. At Tampa, the
temperature slumped from 84 to 59,
producing the coolest weather here

The coldest point in the state to
day, Mr. Bennett said was Pensacola
with a mark of 46.

PILES GO QUICK
Without Salves or Cutting.

Thousands who have piles have not
learned that quick and permanent
relief can only be accomplished with
internal medicine. Neither cutting
nor any amount of treatment with
ointments and suppositories will re-
move the cause.

Bad circulation causes piles. There
is a complete stagnation of blood in
the lower bowel and weakening of
the parts. Dr. J. S. Leonhardt was
first to find the remedy and called his
prescription HEM-ROID. Dr. Leon-
hardt tried it in 1000 cases with the
marvelous record of success in 98 per
cent and then decided it should be
sold by druggists everywhere under
a rigid money-back guarantee.

Don't waste any more time with
outside applications. Get a package
of HEM-ROID from Bruce & Doster
today. It has given safe and lasting
relief to thousands and will do the
same for you.—(Adv.)

CHURCHMEN FAVOR
STYLES OF YOUTH

Bobbed Hair and Short Skirts
Very Sensible, Bishop Du-
Bose Tells Gastonia, N. C.,
Assembly

Gastonia, Oct. 25. — Two stalwart
leaders of Southern Methodism rose
in defense of the maligned youth of
the generation before an assembly of
ministers gathered today for the Ep-
worth League anniversary program of
the Western North Carolina confer-
ence, in session here.

Leading the defense was Rev. J.
M. Rowland, of Richmond, editor of
The Christian Advocate and orator of
note, who called upon the clergy to
abandon condemnation of the flaming
youth, discard the lethargy of another
stay and strive to keep pace with the
rising ride of the present day and the
modern generation.

Bishop H. M. DuBose, Winston
Salem dignitary, in an exhortation
that followed, heralded bobbed hair
and short skirts, as "an evangel of
moral sensibility."

Not Atheistic
Mr. Rowland resented the prevalent
opinion that a race of atheists is in
the making.

"The so-called wave of atheism did
not originate in the hearts of our
youth." he said, but "in the minds of
bald-headed pesimists.

"Their cries of despair would have
us to believe that none of our boys
are following in the footsteps of their
fathers and that our girls are follow-
ing a trail that some of their mothers
led.

"Don't believe it.

"We must instill a certain faith in
ourselves before we may lead them.

No Compromise
"We must recognize the trend of the
times. There is no compromise with
our sons and daughters. They don't
want it.

"We must be human in our dwellings
with them and allow them to be hu-
man. The great trouble with our age
is not on our youth, but in the fact
that we are trying to de-humanize
that youth.

"We don't want them to be either
angels or devils, we want them to be
human. The greatest thing God ever
made was a human being, and we
need to preach humanity instead of
pessimism and reform.

"Let's let none of the monstrosities
of the age demoralize and dehuman-
ize the younger generation. Bring
out from the pulpit the heroism that
they hae manifested.

"Don't judge them by what they do
but by the loyalty with which they
have done with that with which God
has endowed them."

Wonderful Age
The speaker, in tracing the develop-
ments of the generation, commented
on the reported inroads of the radio
on congregations. The situation he
declared, offers no real hazard.

"This is a wonderful age of Inven-
tions," he said, "nd the radio sermon
is one of its products. I've tuned in
on Presbyterian serices in Philadel-
phia and Methodist services in Chi-
cago within the space of one hour.

"The only radio addict that threat-
ens the church is the man who takes
to the air to avoid the collection plate
and who seeks the satisfaction of
knowing that in case he goes to sleep
no one will know it."

Bishop DuBose submitted that he
had heard youth slandered until he
was "tired" of it.

"The Epworth League as a repre-
sentative group of the so-called mod-
ern generation, is the invocation of
intense loyalty and spiritual develop-
ment," he said.

Sensible Dress
"Bobbed hair and the costumes of
the day are unjustly condemned," he
continued. "Both are sensible and
wholesome to the physical woman.
Her dress is an evangel of moral sensi-
bility.

"The style of hair, dresses and the
trend of clothing among American
femininity of the younger generation
exists in sensible relationship to bodily
comfort.

"The Epworth League, both boys
and girls, is founded in faith and bears
a history of honor. It stands today
as to set the glory of youth and life
before the eyes of the world."

SOUTH CAROLINA CASE
IS DECIDED IN COURT
Washington, Oct. 25.—(AP)—The
right of the state to invalidate insur-
ance on property not placed thru au-
thorized resident agents was sustain-
ed today by the supreme court in five
cases from Ohio, Maine and Wiscon-
sin. The suits all arose over the plac-
ing of fire and theft insurance by the
Chrysler Sales Corporation with the
Palmetto Fire Insurance company of
South Carolina, upon all automibles
sold on the deferred payment or in-
stallment plan.

The Chrysler company placed the
insurance without regard to the wishes
of the purchasers for the protection of
the distributors or dealers and the
banks or commercial companies which
financed the purchase of the ma-
chines.

The state courts having sustained
the law requiring insurance to be
placed insurance at Detroit with the
Chrysler company, the latter entered
the federal courts, seeking injunctions
and attacking the validity of the state
laws. In this they failed, and appealed
to the supreme court which today up-
held the laws as valid and constitution-
al.

WILLIMON TELLS
HOW STORM BEAT
GASOLINE FOLKS

He was in Florida at the
Time and Went 70 Miles
With Wind's Aid

W. Marvin Willimon of this city,
returned recently from Florida and
Monday morning told an interesting
story of being caught in the most re-
cent Florida storm.

Mr. Willimon said that he and
members of his family were driving
from Vero to Indian city along the
coast. The storm was gathering and
the wind was becoming stronger and
stronger. He said they hardly
realized how strong it was until they
stopped at a filling station for some
gasoline. Mr. Willimon alighted and
as he did the wind blew. The car
starting moving forward before the
wind. Mr. Willimon, he said tried
to stop the machine with the brakes
but could not from the position he
was in. He jumped back into the car
and put it in gear. The wind became
stronger. Mr. Willimon decided then
not to stop for gasoline. He proceed-
ed on. The wind was behind him and
pushed the car along. Water came
down in sheets and at low points the
highway was flooded. In normal
times an automobile would not have
been able to go thru these washes, he
said, but when the carburator would
act choked up with water the wind
would keep the machine going. This
was the case thruout the 10 mile trip
and the machine never did get stuck
Mr. Willimon made the trip in almost
four hours, he said. He said that it
was all a very frightful experience,
one that he would not like to have
again.

WHAT PRICE QUEEN
MARIE OF RUMANIA?

A Ruler Every Inch, It
Would Appear, At So Much
Per

BY GILBERT SWAIN
NEA Service Writer

New York, Octo. 25., As Broadway
would put it, "the queen is certainly
springing a royal line."

Broadway, which for years has lived
according to its lights, has learned
suddenly that the Balkans have a gay
white way of putting things over.

Those who penned "uneasy lies the
head that wears the crown" did their
walking before bobbed hair came in
vogue.

Anyone who can turn blue blood in
to red headlines gets the immediate
respect and applause of the hard-
bodied highway. And surely Queen
Marie has given the famous thorofare
lessons in showmanship that will not
ever be forgotten. Perhaps when he
two months in America have ended
they will concede that she is the great-
est showman of them all.

All the advertising methods that
Broadway ever learned have already
been employed to the queen's taste.

Broadway lights tell of "that school
girl complexion". Pshaw! The queen
posed for "beauty cream" months
ago.

Her signature over special newspa-
per articles goes for a queenly sum.

Every inch a queen, it seems, but at
so much per inch.

Her arrangements begin at the at the le
nation, but end to a considerable ex
tent in the hands of a famous profes
hional dancer of yesterday.

She bring a ballet in her trunk—
all ready for presentation.

Her every entrance and exit is
staged with consummate skill— gold
braid, blare of trumpets, business of
walking on stage with a careless re-
galness, touched just properly with
pomp. A careful studied bit that any
Broadway actress would love to be
able to imitate.

With such prefatory hints, the bal-
lyhoo boys were quick to realize that
here was a visitor worthy of their
steal.

And so wherever there was an axe
to grind, wherever the mills of adver-
tising and publicity ground, the smart
young advertising men sent their
noses to the grindstones.

Queen Marie was presented with
flowers from Blanks; her shoes were
fashioned by Blanks; gowns designed
by Blank, the French couturier, music
furnished by Blank's band; automo
biles of the exclusive Blank make.

She rode across the sea on a deck
furnished by a big steamship company
—for the advertising. An exclusive
hotel provided a royal floor—for the
advertising. The furniture, perfect
in period, came from Blanks—for ad-
vertising. The chef that serves her
meals will become eminently eminent.
A railroad will provide a special royal
car—quite free, and darn good adver-
tising.

The movies offer her $25,000 a
scene—but, what awell advertising
whether she takes it or no! Theatres
fight to give her a box—her presence
would pack the house. And what if
she said she liked the show?

Bon bons come to her suite from
Blanks and the sleeps on "the mat-
tress of comfort."

For "selling" is the keynote of the
day. Everybody's doing it in one
way or another. The Prince of Wales
wasn't so bad at it, as America
learned.

And a queen who gives her market
what it's looking for— well, she can
hang her crown on any Broadway
lamppost she wishes.

Miss Venus May Get Stout!
Campaign to Have Girls Eat Proper Food is Being
Waged By Domestic Science Department of Green-
ville High School; Many Girls Contend They Do Not
Eat Breakfast Regularly

[column 4 continued]
Greenville girls are likely to
lose some of their sylph-like forms
and gain good health instead for
a campaign to get girls at Green-
ville High school to eat the prop-
er food is being waged by Miss
Ida McAllister, of the domestic
science faculty who says that the
young women of today are not eat-
ing enough wholesome food to
supply their bodies with the nec-
essary nourishment to maintain
good health.

Miss McAllister in speaking to a
class of girls Monday morning, said:
"Weight is not the only factor in
judging normal conditions. Generally
food will be used to support the needs
of growth and if there is an insuffi-
cient amount for both growth and
health, health will suffer. Young
ladies, no breakfast, or breakfast com-
posed on white bread and coffee will
not support your body needs and
bring you out of High school a well
nourished and properly developed
young woman. Robust boys and girls
do not grow strong muscles, bone, rosy
cheeks, eyes beaming with health's
charm on the present day schedule for
them with empty stomachs, I observed
five young girls a few days ago, eat-
ing a piece of five cent candy, and I
heard them say that they had eaten
no breakfast and that it would be 3
o' clock before they would get home
to lunch. Lunch boxes may be out of

[article continued in column 5]
style but girls, have sense and until
the time comes when you may have a
lunch served you, eat a good break-
fast and if necessary bring a small
lunch with you."

At each class Miss McAllister asks
which girls have eaten breakfast, and
each time she has a number to re-
spond that they "didn't have time".
Her aim is to induce all girls to eat
breakfast and nourishing foods.

In connection with this aim inspec-
tion tours of all plants in the city
which manufacture foods is being
planned in order that the young wo-
men may be acquainted with every pro-
cess of food work.

It is not an aim of the department
to induce the young women to eat
fattening foods and thus lose their
stylish slender beauty, but to eat
enough nourishing food to keep their
bodies in good health, so that they may
be able to do their best work.

"At the rate that some of the high
school girls are now eating, they will
be nervous wrecks at the end of the
four years in high school, and will be
unable to continue their education
further" said Miss McAlister.

The cooking department of the high
school has an enrollment of 135 stu-
dents and the sewing department of
204 students, making a total of 341
young women who are being trained
to be good home makers.

The sewing classes are under the
direction of Miss Augusta Williams

"Whether or not you learn anything
about ocoking, you should know the
proper use of food and the proper
amount to be taken into the body"
the Monday morning class was told.

PITMANS' TIME
UP NEXT FRIDAY

That is Unless the Governor
Intervenes; More Petition
Signers

Alexander and Holland Pittman,
father and son of Glassy Mountain
township and alleged slayers of State
Constable J. H. Howard, have less
than 96 hours to live unless Governor
T. G. McLeod intervenes in their
behalf for they are scheduled to die
in the electric chair of South Carolina
Friday of this week.

On Friday morning the two weeks
reprieve granted by the Governor Oc-
tober 14 will have expired and unless
the governor grants clemency to them
they will be electrocuted.

Rumors in all probability not bas-
ed upon authoritative information
hold that the governor is now
planning to grant clemency to the
younger Pittman, Holland, and allow
the elder to be executed. It will be
remembered that the supreme
court opinion in the case recom-
mended clemency for the younger
Pittman.

W. E. Bowen of the firm of Bowen
and Bryson, defense counsel for the
Pittmans, said that approximately
1,750 additional names had been sign-
ed to the petition asking Governor
McLeod to extend clemency to the
Pittmans. This makes Mr. Bowen
said a total of about 6,730 names
signed to the peitions which have
been forwarded to the governor.

PAUL C. BAKAR IS
LAID TO REST HERE

Funeral services for Paul Christ
Bakar, who died as the result of an
automobile accident last Monday night
were conducted from the James F.
Mackey and Sons' chapel at 2:30
o'clock Monday afternoon by the Rev
Vasillinos Papnlkas, of the Green Or-
thodox church, of Charleston.

Chaplain Frank P. Gaines, of the
local post of the American Legion,
conducted the services at the grave
side, held at 3 o'clock in Springwood
cemetery. The American Legion com-
rades of Mr. Bakar joined in paying
final tribue to the fellow veteran. Past
and present officers of the legion post
were pallbearers and taps was sound-
ed by the post bugler as the body was
lowered into its grave.

Mr. Bakar is survived by his aged
father and a number of more distant
relatives, all of whom live in Greece.
Mr. Bakar, who served in the Ameri-
can army during the war, was active
in the legion organization, being sar-
geant at arms of the local post at the
time of his death.

Discusses Church Ads
Chicago, Oct. 25.—(AP)—In adver-
tising the church the same principles
of psychology must be used that the
business man employs in selling
goods, Charles Steizle of New York
told the eighth annual conference on
church publicity here today.

"On general principles it is safe
to assume that the public know
nothing whatever about church,"
said Mr. Steizle who is chairman of
church advertising department of the
International Advertising Association

"In advertising the church it should
be plain that it is not a reform orga-
nization, a forum, a social service
league, a political party nor are its
preachers supposed to be economic
experts.

"The church has been a sure cure for sin
but judging by the publicity," he said
"it is not very excited about offering
this sure cure to the people."

FLORIDA PEOPLE
EXTEND THANKS
Grateful For Assistance
Given Following Recent
Storm

A letter of appreciation for the
gifts of Greenville people to the
Florida storm relief fund, amounting
to $109.50 has been received by T. M.
Norris, chairman of the Greenville
chapter American Red Cross from J.
Arthur Jeffers, assistant to the vice
chairman.

The letter is as follows:

Dear Mr. Norris:
It is a pleasure to acknowledge
your check of $109.50 as a contribu-
tion toward the Florida storm relief
fund.

Latest reports from the disaster
area indicate that the work of re-
habilitation is progressing rapidly
and in good order. Individual con-
sideration is given to each person
and family in need for the purpose of
helping them on their feet again.
Your contribution will be used in its
entirety for direct relief work. The
entire administrative cost being [illegible]
by the national Red Cross. This is
made possible of course by the
membership character of the Ameri-
can Red Cross and the quota which
arrive to the national oganization
from each membership. Won't you
explain this and aim the distinction
between any contribution for the
storm sufferers recevied in your com-
munity and the regular membership
campaign to be held next month.

Very sincrely yours,
(signed) J. ARTHUR JEFFERS
Assistant to the Vice Chairman.

TARIFF CUT HERE
NOT AID EUROPE

Mellon Says Proposals in
Economic Manifesto Not
Applicable Here

Washington, Oct. 25.—(AP)—Appli-
cation to the United States of the
proposals contained in the economic
manifesto signed by some American
and European bankers for the lowering
of tariffs in the interest of trade
would reduce rather than increase
American purchases abroad in the
opinion of Secretary Mellon of the
treasury.

Serving formal notice on behalf of
the administration that the manifesto
would bring about no change in the
present tariff policy, he approved its
application to European states on the
ground that it would effect there a
condition similar to that existing here
—free trade among the states of the
union. Any reduction in the Ameri-
can tariff would act, not as a stimu-
lus, but as a boomerang to Europe's
export trade to the United States he
contended because it would occassion
unemployment and reduce out pur-
chasing power, will diminish the
country's constumption of commodi-
ties and cause large surpluses of the
world's principal products," and
would not "help certain foreign na-
tions to recover from losses occasioned
by the war, but would retard such
recovery.

"The trend of trade during the past
few years," he continued, "convinci-
ingly confirm the contention that the
volume of imports is controlled by the
purchasing power of the nation
rather than the rate of imports duties
assessed."

RETURN VERDICT IN
BAKAR INQUEST

Coroner's Jury Finds That
Bakar Met Death By Au-
tomobile Accident, Car Be-
ing Drive By Frank Poe

"Paul Christ Bakar came to his
death from an accident in an automo-
bile driven by Frank Poe."

This was the verdict returned by
a coroner's jury Monday in the in-
quest into the death of Bakar, who
succumbed early Saturday morning
to injuries received earlier in the
week. The inquest was held in the
establishment of James F. Mackey
and Sons, funeral directors by Coroner
John L. Parks.

C. H. Cothran was foreman of the
jury which returned the verdict.

Several persons testified at the in-
quest, including Mrs. E. D. Honour
and Mrs. Helda Robertson, occupants
of the car in which Bakar rode prior
to his death. Mr. Poe, driver of the
car, was not present at the inquest.

P. A. Bonham, of the firm Bonham,
Price, and Poag, appeared at the
inquest and assisted in the cross ex-
amination of witnesses. Others who
testafied were R. T. Chewning, who
told of having worked on the brakes
of the car in which Bakar met his
death. Dr. L. W. Boggs, who told of
the injuries sustained by Bakar, and
James Petroupolis, proprietor of the
establishment where Bakar was em-
ployed.

That all of those in the party had
been drinking except herself was the
testimony given by Mrs. Honour. Mr.
Poe had been drunk but had sobered
up some at the time of the mishap
Mrs. Honour testified.

It was brought out that the brakes
of the car were not working properly
and that witnesses knew this when she
went on the trip. The witness said
that the car was going at a speed of
about 35 miles an hour when the acci-
dent occurred. Mrs. Robertson and
Bakar were sitting on the little back
seat of the Chryslet roaster and
Mrs. Honour and Mr. Poe were sit-
ting in the front seat, the former
driving. The accident occurred at a
curve in the road. The witness told
of picking up Bakar and crarrying
him to the hospital. That was on
Tuesday night of last week. The
party was returning from out the
Hunt's Bridge road, having danced
until almost 11 o'clock before heading
for the car. It was on the return
trip that the mishap occurred in
which Bakar was hurt.

Mrs. Robertson's testimony was
virtually the same as that of Mrs.
Honour, saying that the party was
returning from out the Hunt's Bridge
road when the mishap occurred. Both
the witness and Bakar were thrown
out of the car. She thought the car
was making about 35 miles an hour
at the time.

R. T. Chewning told of having had
the Poe car in the garage because Mr.
Poe had been having trouble with the
brakes. He explained the manner in
which the brakes were supposed to
work; saying that sometimes they
had been rubbing instead of releasing
the axles.

N. Y. STOCKS
New York. Oct. 25—(AP)—Stock
prices moved within narrow and irre-
gular limits at the opening of today's
market that the main tendency appear-
ed to be upward. Brooklyn, Man-
hattan tansit and Fox Film opened a
point or to higher with Ledlum Steel
and Willys Overland prefferred sank
to new low levels for the year.

Price movements were extremely
confused during early trading, the
run of selling pressue against several
of the motor farm implement and in-
dependent steel shares being offset bu
the moderate demand for the merchan-
dising, and public utilities. Money re-
newed at 4 1/2 per cent. Despite the
large deficit in reserve shown in last
Saturday's clearing house statement,
professional traders again dominated
trading with bear selling encouraged
by reports of a slackening in several
lines of industry. Halls were sup-
ported on revived rumors of an early
announcement of the revised Nickel
Plate merger plan. Foreign ex-
changes opened irregular, demand
Sterling rolling around $4.84 1-15 and
French francs just below 3.05 cents.

Chicago, Oct. 25—(AP)—Wheat de-
celoped notable firmness early today
in the face of a sharp downturn in

ing was based more or less on asser-

MEYER IS ASSISTING
ALABAMA COTTON MEN

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 25—(AP)—
The formation of a finance corpora-
tion with a capital of $1,000,00 to be
put up by Alabama banks which
could secure $10,000,000 additional
from the federal farm loan board, was
the suggestion made for financing Al-
abama's surplus cotton by Eugene
Meyer, chairman of President Cool-
idge's cotton committee at a meeting
with leading bankers, farmers and
business men here today.

The cooperation of banks in cutting
down the acreage 25 per cent next
year was also a part of the plan out-
lined by Mr. Meyer. The suggestion
was made that the finance corporation
should lend ten cents a pound on
cotton but Mr. Meyer stated that
would have to be decided by the cor-
porations in the several states. It was
announced however, that loans
would be either 8, 9 or 10 cents a
pound.

T. E. Griffin, Charged With
Criminal Assault, Is Placed
On Trial In Court Today

[column 8 continued]

Case of Hesters and Others
Is Postponed Until a Later
Date

The case of T. E. Griffin, aged
about 18 years, called "Little Tommy
Griffin" charged with criminal assault
upon a girl below the age of 15 years
was the first called by solicitor J. G.
Leatherwood at the opening of the
October term of General Sessions
court Monday morning and the state
rested its case before adjournment for
the dinner hour. Just before adjourn-
mentfor the noon recess a motion for
a directed verdict of not guilty was
made by defense counsel but the mo-
tion was overruled by Judge S. W. G.
Shipp, of Florence, presiding.

At the opening of the October term
Solicitor Leatherwood handed out 30
bills of indictment to the grand jury.
He has 13 more new bills of indictment
which were not handed out because of
the absence of some witnesses. After
the batch of 30 bills, which included
four charging defendants with murder,
had been been handed out, the solicitor
made several announcements. One was
that the case arained J. C. Tinsely
charged with murder in connection
with the death of Rev. Milton F.
Daniels, of Savannah, Ga., which oc-
cured March 23, 1924, would be con-
tinued. Likewise the trial of the mur-
der charged against Jerry, Charlie and
Claude Hester alledged slayers of J. Ed
Thackston, Montague merchant, will
not be tried at this time. The solicitor
announced a continuance of the case.
Cases against Homer Burns and Baylis
Harrison will likewise be contin-
ued, the solicitor said. Speaking of
the Harrison case Judge Shipp said
"I notice this case has been on the
docket for 10 terms. It ought to be
tried." The solicitor said that Harrison
was now serving time. "Then it should
be put on the contingent docket." the
judge replied. The solicitor then ex-
plained that this should not be done
as he intended to call the cases for
trial at a subsequent term. Several
other cases, however, were ordered to
the contingent docket.

The solicitor announced that the
case of Elsie Gosnell Turner, charged
with murder in connection with the
death of W. G. Turner, former chief
of police of West Greenville, was
available for trial during this term.

The charges of murder in the indcit-
ments handed out Monday by the so-
licitor named Ray Wilkie, alleged slay-
er of Deputy Sheriff George Myers.
F. E. Sims, alleged to have been re-
sponsible for the deaths of Lee Davenport
and Irvin Harvey, killed in an
automobile accident; Robery Lloyd,
colored, alleged to have killed John
Williams, also colored, and Marion
Davis, colored, alledged to have killed
Lula Davis, his wife, by a blow with
an axe.

In the Griffin trial the little 14-
year-old girl was the first called to
the stand. She testified that on the
night of July 3, 1926, she and a girl
companion, aged 12, got off from
work at a small lunch rom on Pen-
dleton street at about 10 o'clock. The
girl testified that she walked down to
catch a street car home. She stopped
at a filling station and got into an automobile
to get a street car ticket
out of her shoe. While she was in
the car C. M. Stansell came up. She
testified that she and her companion
got into a Ford coupe with Stansell
and rode around. Later they came
back to the filling station and picked
up Sam Tannery. The four of them
rode out the camp road and stopped
at a house near the edge of the city.
She testified that Tannery produced
a key to the house, which was appar-
ently untennated, and opened the
door. Together they went up stairs.
After some time Stansell went away
and came back with Griffin. She tes-
tified that the alleged deed was com-
mitted there. She testified that she
got home about 5.30 o'clock on the
morning of July 4.

The mother of the girl, who testi-
fied that she was the mother of ten,
was paced on the stand record. She
brought with her the family Bible
which showed a record of a birth of
the prosecutrix in March of 1912. Dr.
W. C. [illegible], Deputy sheriff Ben F.
Parris and Deputy Sheriff John R.
Rhodes were also placed on the
stand.

Solicitor Leatherwood is being as-
sisted in the prosecution by Capt. Oscar
K. Mauldin.

Attorneys for the defense are mak-
ing a stiff legal fight in the case. First
efforts to quash the indictment were
made, but failed. Then at the com-
pletion of the state's case a motion for
a directed verdict of not guilty was
made, but this was likewise overruled.

GIRLS CHORAL CLUB
The Girls Choral club, under the
direction of Mrs. F. K. Poole, of Uni-
versity Ridge, will meet Monday
night at 7 o' clock at the home of Mrs.
William Laval on Howe street.

A number of young women have
joined the club and all others living
in the community who wish to join
are invited to do so. A number of
concerts and entertainments will be
given by the club during the winter
months.

The Prince of Wales has taken
more strongly than ever to golf. Ob-
servers of his progress agree that it
has been considerable.
