anything" he answered.

"Once l talked to ]. L. Johnson and
rangements with his brother-ir- Flaw,
w. G. Nixon, to sell all the automo-
bile tires that | could send him. He
said that Nixon had opened a garage
at Ozark and that all | had to do was
to change the name of the twon on
any shipments of tires and send them
to Ozark. When they arrived there,
Hood, being the agent, would under
stand they were for the garage and
would send them there.
Il saw Mr.. Hunter and told him
that | had saved him out some shirts.
He paid me S. for them. l sold au-

F. M. Alsabrooks' testimony was
conferred on petty thefts from express
companies, which, he asserted, other
members of the alleged band had solic-
tied him to make.
How Macon cafes were supplied
with eggs stolen from express ship
ments, how express tags on trunks
were changed to baggage checks en-

DIVORCES INCREASED
GREATLY LAST YEAR
BROKEN MATRIMONIAL vows
FAR OUTDISTANCED OTHER
YEARS. ATLANTA IN 1T.

The nations divorce. story for 1920
is one which far overshadows. the
broken ties Of any other year, accord
ing to statistics just published. The
palm for breaking divorce records goes
ia Seattle. Wash, with 2,430 divorces
in 1920. Reno has bowed to the Pa
cifc coast city not only in point OF
divorces granted in the last year, but
in popularity as a haven for those
seeking freedom from marital respon-
sibilities and woes. The Mary Pick
ford case is said to have started di-
vorce reform in Reno.
Atlanta, Ga, comes into prominence
as the Reno of the South and shares
this distinction with Savannah, where
the courts, when put to it, can turn
out divorce cases at the rate OF one
a minute.
New York city broke its 1920 di-
vorce record by 500. Hartford, Conn,
had 800, 20 per cent increase and
more than ever before. The 20 di-
vorces granted in Duluth Mimi, tops
a record which has been climbing
steadily for eight years. A new record
in Philadelphia showed SOP divorce
suits begun and 1860 granted last
year
Detroit was busy in the severance
of the bonds of matrimony, having in
.3,175. a new record Tor 1920 Balt-
more. Md, and Portland, Ore, were
among the few larger cities showing
decreases. The circuit court of Kansas
CITY, Mo, last year granted OPS di-
vorces, as compared with $40 in the
preceding year, with IS per cent of
the cases uncontested.

The Pneumonia Month.

March is a typical pneumonia month
and usually gives high rate of NOR
tally for the disease. After long and
hard winter, the system loses much
of its resistance and people grow
careless. When every cold, no matter
how slight, is given prompt and intel
ligent attention, there is much less
danger of pneumonia. 1t should be
borne in mind that pneumonia is a
germ disease and breeds in the throat.
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is an
expectorant and cleans out the germ
ladened mucus and not only cures a
cold but prevents its resulting in penu-
monia. 1t is pleasant to take. Children
take it willingly.

DIR. BROUGHTON AT THE FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY
MORNING
MORNING.

There arrived in our city today.
for visit of few days, one of the
most distinguished sons of North
Carolina, DR.. Len G. Broughton, now
of Richmond and pastor of the
Grove Avenue Baptist church there.
Mrs. Broughton is with her hus-
band, and while here they will be
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. T. A.
Hinnant who are now residing on
Whitehead Avenue.
1t will be recalled that few
months ago, by invitation of our local
Kiwanis Club, DR.. Broughton deliver
ed in our High School auditorium an
intensely interesting and illuminat
ing address on the Irish problem,
subject that today so vitally affects
the future of the British Empire and
in which the whole world is inter-
ested. DR.. Broughton was pastor of
a large church in London before and
during the world war and is thor
oughly conversant with the English
and continental situations.
Before he went abroad Dr.
Broughton held important pastorates
in Roanoke, Va, Knoxville, Tenn,
Atlanta, Ga, and other large cities.
For years now he has been accounted
one of the leading preachers, not
only of his country, but of the world
and wherever he breaches great
! multitudes attend upon his ministry.
At the present time, though he has
been in Richmond but a short while,
the commodious building of the
Grove Avenue church is being al
most doubled to accommodate the
great throngs that come every Sun
day to hear him..
| It gives us pleasure to state that
DR.. Broughton has accepted an in
vitation to preach in the First Bap-
tist church here Sunday morning and
we are sure that our people will glad
ly avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity to hear this great and gifted
man of God.

When competitors relax
intensive selling is d0ubly rewarded

In times like the present, great re-
adjustments occur in industry.
In practically every industry we see
today new leaders coming forward by
right of intelligent and determined
salesmanship.
Products which sold freely in pc.
riod of strong demand, but which lack
the support of an aggressive selling pro.
gram, drop back.
This is what has been happening in
one branch of the house-furnishing
industry.
Most of the manufacturers of cer-
tain product, sold to average homes,
suspended their advertising and selling
efforts early this year. These con-
cerns-several of which are in Phila-
delphia- argued: "Business is flat and
we might as we'll lay low and save
expense"
One of the leading companies saw
in this very situation it's opportunity.
Instead of reducing, this company not
only kept up all it's previous advertising

The results for 1921 to date are:
Sales In January .. $6OO,OOO
Sales in February 6OO,O
Sales in March . 100000
Sales in April 1,25O,OOO
Sales in May. 1,35O,OOO
These steadily increasing sales are
far ahead of sales not only in the cor
responding period of last year, but of
every other year in the history of the
company.
A similar story is to be found in the
underwear field, in silk, in vacuum clean
ers-in almost any field you examine.
There is buying today. There is busi-
ness to be had-not enough in every
industry to keep all producers busy, but
in each industry enough to keep sew
eral aggressive leaders going full
blast. Someone is getting it-getting it
by taking advantage of the timidity or
enforced relaxation of his competitors.

Developments showed that there is
increasing fear among the veniremen
should they become a jury and be a
party to an adverse verdict. Word has
gone around that there will be re-
prisals. and every known excuse has
been used to escape service. The word

is being worked to the limit. To-day it
appeared that. with two more of the
twenty jurors to be selected and then
eight to be set aside, leaving the legal
twelve. taking of testimony will not
start before Tuesday. Deputy sheriffs
tomorrow will scour the hills for 100
