day in which the plaintiff was James
Hughes, of Carteret, and the defend
ants Nathan Shapiro and Harry
Schwartz of the meat firm Of Shapiro

man Shapiro. Mr.. Hughes formerly
had a meat business there and sold it
out to Shapiro and Schwartz for $3.50.

cash and a note for the balance. The
note is still due. Hughes, in making
the sale, signed an agreement with
Nathan Shapiro Of the firm who were
to hire him for twelve months at a
salary of $12 per week as part of the
sale bargain. They Hired him and
paid him for two months and then
discharged him as incompetent, it be-
ing claimed that the man drank and
did not tend to business. Mr.. Hughes
under his agreement, continued to
visit the store daily for two weeks
and upon always being turned away
he brought suit. The defense is that
Mr.. Shapiro was under age and could
not therefore make O contract binding

MwARROQUIN'S HOPE.
President of Colombia Counts
on Political Strife For Aid.
HI LOOKS At SITUATION CROSSEYED
Panama Treaty Delay Encourages
False IdenS In Bogota and May
BE the Cause of Open
EIostiIe Action.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-There is
every indication that Panama is again
TO be the center of attention, not only
in the senate, but as a factor in gen
eral politics. The time is ut hand
when the minority in the senate will
be openly accused of playing politics
in its plan of delay over the Panama
treaty, even to the extent of encourage
ing Colombia to provoke open HOSTILE
ties with the United States.
All the outward Indications, as re-
ported from both Panama and Bogota,
are interpreted in Washington as
threatening var between the United
States and Colombia. This is the last
condition that the administration de-
sires. For that very reason at least
some of the Democratic senator's will
be charged with pursuing a line of
conduct and talk which. if not cal
culated TO incite needless bloodshed,
may have that effect.
The language attributed to President
M%arroquin OF Colombia is regarded in
Washington as of serious import. Mar
roquin is quoted as saying that he
hoped that a conflict might be avoided
Through Democratic intervention in
the senate and that he counted on tile
assistance OF the Democratic party to
save the sacred rights of Colombia"
These words are regarded as indicat-
ing the twisted view that the govern
ment of Bogota takes Of the situation

HUSBAND FINDS WIFE
Married to a Richie County Man
and a Sensation Resulted. q


A sensation was stirred up a
few days ago in Ritchie county
and the end is not yet. Every
body in Pennsboro is talking of
the recent developments follow
ing the marriage of Mrs. Clai-
borne to j. S. McNemar, Of that
town. A few days following the
wedding William Claiborne ar
rived in Pennsboro, and claimed
that he was the husband of the
woman who had been welded to
Mr.. McNemar.
Mrs. Claiborne had said that
her first husband was dead, and it
is thought by some who know her
that she was honest in making
the statement, for she is said to
have had every reason to believe
that he had died several years
ago. Mr.. Claiborne is still in
Richie county, and it is difficult
to determine at this time what
will be done to relieve the very
embarrassing as well as peculiar
position in which all three OF the
persons have been placed.

States Record of Crime.

| Governor White has received
I, the February report of the State
tpenitentiary at Moundsyille, which
shows an alarming increase in
| crime in the State. For every
man discharged there have been
three new ones sentenced, large
percentage Of the crimes were
murders and shootings with in
tent to kill.
| Mcdowell and Fayette counties
have the BLACKLIST record, with
Kanawha county third on the list.
Out of twenty-six criminals
sent from Mcdowell there were
| thirteen for shooting and one for
MURDER
! Fayette follows with four muir
ders and ten shootings out of a
total number of twenty-four.
! In Kanawha county there was
one murder, six robberies, one
manslaughter, one rape and one
malicious wounding.
Among the ninety-fve criminals
sentenced in February-probably
the blacklist record in the State s
history-were Ed Hunter and
Jessie Briggs, sentenced for
murder in the first degree; these
two came from Fayette county,
and are sentenced to hang May
6.
The statistics show: Prisoners
received 50, prisoners discharged
"a, increase 81; total number of
inmates March 1, 937.
The number of pistol shootings
have so increased that there is
talk now of making pistol toting
felony. In some sections, in
spite of the effort on the part Of
authorities to curb the lawless-
ness, nearly every one goes armed,
and many of these shoot, it is said,
on very little provocation. Max
ing pistol toting a felony has
worked advantageously in some
of the States.
In some places last night a SAN
guine view was taken of the
ninety-fve convictions. 1t is
thought that the great number
shows more efficient policing and
prompt justice in the courts.
1t is well known that enforcing
laws against outlaws is risky
business in some sections and the
fact that so many were brought
to feel penalty augurs well, as
is said, for the work of the police
and marshalls.
The criminals were sentenced
| from, the fOllOwinu COMMITTEES.
