ROWAN Man IS GIVEN
LONG ROAD SENTENCE

Salisbury. Nov. 15.-Fletcher F.
Smith, prominent business man, has
been in a serious condition all today.
Early this morning he suffered a
stroke of paralysis which affected his
whole right side and there was also a
Rev. G.. H. Arts, a well-known negro
preacher, died suddenly Sunday while
attending a funeral service of one of
the teachers Of Livingston college.
The funeral was held in the college
chapel and just as the corpse was
brought in Arts topp1ed over. He was
carried out but was dead when his
bearers reached the front porch.
D.. L. Brown, who led the officers
such a chase Saturday night was be-
fore Judge Carlton in county. court to-
day and faced several charges. For
the possession of the IS gallons of
whisky found in his automobile he
was found guilty and sentenced to
nine months on the roads. For reck-
less driving through the county he
was found guilty and Judgment was
suspended. For resisting officers he
was found guilty and given six months.
For exceeding the speed limit. in Sails
bury he Vas found guilty and judg-
ment was suspended. In the two cases
where sentences were passed notices
Of appeal and bonds totaIing 81, 1000
were given. It was stated this after
noon by Mr.. Browns lawyer that the
appeals would hardly be perfected
and that Mr.. Brown would serve such
time as was required. It is hoped by
the attorney to have the sentences re-
duced. The Spencer authorities have
stated that Mr.. Brown is to be charged
with violating the speed laws of that
town and it al stated al the court
house that Granite Quarry would like
ly take the same action.
By a strange coincidence Browns
father, II. NJ. Brown was tried in the
same court today for selling whisky
and beer and was found guilty in both
cases, fines amounting to $500 being
imposed. An appeal was taken. The
elder Brown was to have been tried
80 days ago but the case was post
poned till today to enable him to take
treatment at a hospital.

State highway work, and expressed
views which proved that he, at least.
was entirely in accord with the views
OF a majority Of taxpayers throughout
the State, comes the announcement
of his resignation.
While the resignation came a. q
surprise, it is not, paradoxically, sur
prising. Chairman Nelson's views
are not shared by the other two mem
bers OF the commission, and he says
in his letter OF resignation: 81 believe
the policy Of the majority OF the COM
mission is contrary to the intent OF
the law, contrary to the desires and
wishes of the great majority of our
people, and contrary to a sound, eco-
nomic business policy, and I AN un-
willing to longer lend my tacit con-
sent to such policy"
Summed up, Mr.. Nelson's conten-
tions are that the commission 10
not paying proper attention to the
equitable division ofthe State highway
money among the counties; that no
general plan for the expenditure OF
the entire $1,000 900 from the bond
issue has yet been made, but instead
a few isolated sections OF road are be-
ing rebuilt in an expensive and ex-
travagant manner, ard that these
sections have cost two to three times
what they should.
Mr.. Nelson's views are shared by q
majority of the taxpayers Of the
State.

How a Small Boy Makes Love


In the American Magazine Ellis Parker
Butler writes another small boy story in
his new series. In the following extract
the small boy talks about his girl:
''Her name is Milly. / haven't said
anything about marrying her yet-not to
her or anybody = but Pve carried her
books three or four times and hit her in
the back of the head with a soft snow ball,
and guess she likes me too. She threw q
SNOWFALL back at me when I hit her and
then, when washed her face for her with
snow, she just said, oh, Georgei You
mean thing!" as if she might be willing
to marry me sometime il / got nerve
enough to ask her when we're grown up

That more than 100 farmers should
brave the weather and the roads OF
Monday to assemble at Lakewood
for the farm demonstration field
day, was demonstration in itself
that the spirit of better farming is
abroad in Hancock county, and Of
the effective work being done by the
director of farm demonstrations for
this county, George n. Worden.
Last year a great part of Mr..
Worden's work was in getting ac-
quainted with the farmers, the farms
and farming conditions in bis terri
tory. That he has, to marked de-
gree, won the confidence OF the farm
ers, without which no demonstrator
can do effective work, is apparent.
This years work promises big results.
