ing affair yesterday between two of its
prominent citizens, was treated to
another sensation last night in the shape
of a bank robbery. The private banking
house of Rouse Bros. was robbed Of
$3,400 The work was done in a profess
sional like manner as the safe door was
blown open with dynamite The burg
lars came near adding murder to their
crime. Mr. Richard Wooten, who was
sleeping across the street over a store,
heard the explosion and came down stairs
to get his sun He stumbled over q
plow in the dark and instantly, a pistol
ball crashed through the glass front in
the store and passed close enough to his
heard for him to hear it splitting the air.
Mr.. Wooten was mixed up in the shoot
ing affair of the day before and thought
that his antagonist was after him. At
such disadvantage he had to keep quiet.
Other who were awakened by the eXplos-
ion and the shooting thought it renewal
of the hostilities Of the day before and

burglars had finished their work and de-
parted with the money. A search was be-

of tho burglars could be found until this
morning. when it was found that they
had stolen DIR. Mark Hodges horse and
buggy, and that there were two other
buggies with mules attached that left in
the same direction. It is supposed that
the mules and buggies were stolen from
some one in the country who will be
heard from later. The horse and buggy
of DR. Hodges was found about one mile
from this city this morning tied to a tree
with the horse nearly driven to death.
Two strangers were seen in a saloon in

horse and buggy to this city while the
rest of the party went in other directions.

(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, April 2S.-Three persons
committed suicide in this city today All
used carbolic acid as a means of ending
their lives. The three suicides were
Leonard H. Mangum, former clerk Ia
the Census Office; Guy e. Padgett, real
estate and insurance agent, and Mrs.
Sadie Plummer, a young woman whose
husband keeps lunch room on Penn
sylvania Avenue Mr.. Mangum was a
native of North Carolina. but lived for
many years in Arkansas. 1t is said that
he at one. time was wealthy, but lost his
money and was compelled to come to
this city to seek employment. He lost
his position in the Census Office last
July, and since then had been unemploy-
cd His body was found beneath a tree
in the Reservation south Of the White
House grounds.
The cause of Padgetts death is un-
known, but it is thought he had become
Respondent. He was a member of the
Maccabebes and Odd Fellows. Last night
after leaving a lodge room he mailed
his wife a brief note enclosing $100 in
cash and asking her forgiveness. Then
he went home and his wife today found
his dead body in the bath room.
Mrs. Plummcr was found unconscious
lying across a bed in her room and died
soon ater being taken to the hospital.
She is said to have attempted suicide
once before.
1t will be recalled that one day re-

plain and positive. 1t does not say any
place only in Cleveland, Cabarrus,
Cabarrus, Mitchell and CASTOR counties,
but expressly says any station or other
place within SAID STATE Thus ANY
place in North Carolina, where any Ii
quor shall be delivered, shall be con-
strued to be the place of sale. and
therefore it's delivery is prohibited
wherever it's sale is prohibited.
"It may be argued that the Legisla-
ture intended this section to apply only
to the four counties above named, and
such intention appears from the title
to the act, but such intention does not
appear in the unambiguous words of the
section. The first section applies only
to tohes four counties in prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of liquors, because
it expressly so reads, as follows:
Section 1. That it shall be un-
lawful for any person, firm or cor
poration TO manufacture or barter or
sell any spirituous, vinous, malt,
fermented or other intoxicating Ii
quors in the counties of Cleveland,
Cabarrus, Mitchell and CASTOR
IF section was intended to apply only
to these four counties. as section / ap-
plies, it should so read. While the title
OF the act shows it was intended to
apply only to these four counties, yet,
it must be remembered that the title
has been decided to be not part of the
act. This was long ago so decided IN
England, and was so decided by our
Supreme Court as far back as 1924 in the
case of the State against Welsh In
deed, an act would be constitutional
without any title, for our State consu-
tuition, in Article ii, section Il, says
the style of the acts shall be: The Cen
eral Assemly of North Carolina do en-
aet,' and says nothing about prefixing
title.
1.-THE provisions of this act went into
effect on the 3rd day of April, except
section one which will not go into effect
until next July. So it looks like the
anti-jug law is now in force in all the
counties where the sale of liquor is pro-
hibited, and it would be well for people
in all those counties to govern them
selves accordingly
