Our N lgh5or Is GettiFg Right.

The Mooresville Enterprise
says that James NJ. Deaton,
the sheriff of Iredell county,
is the proper man to be made
marshall for the Western dis
trict. The Enterprise says
he is the man for the job.
1 he Post has no candidate for
any Office. but it does believe
that Deaton is the best sheriff
in the state, and this ought
to qualify him for the mar~
shalship if be wants it Ac>
cording to report the social
| q clubs of Salisbury are
running on trouble largely Oh
account of Deaton's activity.
When it comes to enforcing
the law aud putting a clear
cut and uncomprCmising in
terpretation on his duties,
NONE of them have anything
ou Deaton. We NEED a few
more like him.-Salisbury
Post.
This is praise worthily be-
slowed on a man who would
FILL the Office of marshal
with great credit. Let the
little tin sheriff of Rowan
ponder over the above. There
is some difference and a
reason therefor. Here's hop
ing James M. Deaton will be
made marshal with head
quarters in Salisbury.

PRAISE Be TO SHERIFF nEATON.
IredeII's Popular Sheriff Battles for the
Lord In Rowan.

Deaton as he is known bv hls
many friends in his home
county who admire him fol
his fearlessness and faithful
ness in executing and enfofc'
ing the laws. Deaton is q
man who WILL enforce the
law or get out and give the
job to somebody else. Being
sheriff with him is being
sheriff and not playing sh 9rif1
like some ten~year~old BOY
Deaton's chief delight is in
"nabbing" those fellows who
haven't due respect for the
laws of the Iand, especially
thos fellows known as blind
tigers, probably called blind
tig5 because they seem to
be blind to the fact that there
is a law in North Carolina
prohibiting the sale of liquor,
but if all our sheriffs we're
Deatons and no McKenzies
these blind tigers would soon
become chained tigers, harm
less fellows who would then
for the only time in their
lives render a real honest
service in building up our
county. But all are not
Deatons and so Justice mourns
for lack of sheriffs who res
gard their oath as sacred and
their Office as a trust entrust~
I'd to them by the honest
voters of the county.
But what we started out
to say is that Deaton, not be-
ing satisfied With performing
his duty in his own county
and helping give his county>
seat this states wide reputa-
ton: "Statesville, the Best
Town in North Carolina, "
(which is true as to w-abid.
ing citizenship, aud that is all
that is necessary to make a
good town. feels that it is his
duty as sheriff Of backbone
and courage to visit his
neighboring counties where
the law is violated openly and
without restraint. Yes, he
believes it his duty as high
sheriff of the land to place
his heel on lawlessness any,
where and everywhere to the
extent of his power, and show
the "backboneless'' sberiffs
what If means TO he sheriff
and how to go about enforcing
the law. So after being
invited by several prominent
ministers of the gospel, who
feel that something MUST be
done for the morals Of the
city or their work here will
all be in vain, Sheriff Deator
came down last week and
took a look. No, he 1idn'1
employ Detective Burns tc
help him, but ne did heal

covered sixteen tigers in ou1
midst in a day or two, and

would put it, AS a result 0.

WHO WANTS A BABY?

 In riding their beat on the Northside the officers saw the negress holding the babe. Stopping to admire and play with it. thinking she was hired nurse, they inquired of her whose baby it was The negress, kindly inclined, told a strange story regarding her possession of the child.
 She stated that Friday night a couple who gave their names as MT. and Mrs. Charles H. Cox of Mobile. Ala, came to her home and asked her to take charge Of the child for them for week. They. she stated. were going to Atlanta.

AUTO TRAGEDY IS
 STILL A MYSTERY
Officers Unable to Locate Man Who Killed George
 Adams Last Sunday

The identity of the automobile and it's occupants which caused the death of George Adams and came near causing the death of John B. Franklin at Morris ave- nue and Twentieth street last Sunday morning still remains a mystery although d squad of city detectives, a corps of deputy sheriffs and Coroner Brasher have been working assidously upon the case since the unfortunate affair occurred.
 Chauffeur after chauffer, automobile owner after automobile owner and person after person have been arraigned in eX animation by the officers, both at the city hall and at the courthouse, but they are apparently no nearer the solution of the mystery than before it happened
 Chauffeur John Belt was examined by Coroner Brasher yesterday in regard to the occurrence and maintains that he is innocent. He is backed In his claim by Chief of Police George H, Bodeker, who states that he believes that Belt is not guilty. Belt was arrestui by the police several days ago and examined at police headquarters by Chief Bodeker person. ally and the chief states that he has ey cry reason to believe that Belt is not the man.
 But who the man is is still mystery and seems doomed 10 remain a mystery. Franklin it Is understood. Is improving at the Hillman hospital, although it was given out several days ago that he would not live until the next morning It has taken excellent nursing and care to pull him through. When he is able to give a. coherent description of the incident it is thought that his testimony will throw some light upon the subject.
 The automobile law which was put rigidy into force just following the death of Adams and the almost fatal injury of Franklin Is being, on the whole. observed Several arrests have been made by the local officers for speeding. In each case
 the offending driver has been fined by Judge Black, who seems to be co-operat- ing with Judge Lane and Chief Bodeker in their efforts to reduce automobile casu- alties to as low a minimum as possible
 Judge Lane has expressed himself as being satisfied with the enforcement of the law so far and asserts that he be- lieves that the officers are doing their duty in the matter
