Case Will Go Direct to Grand Jury at
Second May Term.
Unless plans of counsel for DR.. j.
wv. Peacock, slayer of Chief of Police
j.. q, Taylor, of Thomasville, who is
Id jail at Lexington, are changed,
there will be no preliminary arrange
ment of the Thomasvlle physician on
the charge of murder. It is their in
Etenfion to waive. tie mrhfodatiyl etao
tention to waive the formality of a
sEreliminary hearing and let the case
H9oato the grand jury at the second
May term of court. A preliminary, it
Is c0nsidered, would be more or less a
4Orfnality, as the prisoner does not
deny. the shooting or the manner in
which it is reported to have taken
place, and If mental responsibility
is plead as indicated this would not be
lin aFtlet in q preliminary hearing.

DR.. Peacock continues to maintain
his c0naposire, it is understood, al
though at times showing some signs
of the strain of the tragedy of which
he is central figure. His family
sEaye helped add to the comfort OF
his cell in such manner as possible and
a. number of his friends have called
to see him each day. The prisoner
is understood to have requested the
iail authorities, however, not to al
low anyone except members OF has
family and closest friends to call upon
him. A telephone has been Installed
in his cell, by consent Of Jailer Mich
ael. who stated that this was allowed
ins.a1}esr.that n counsel and friends of
the prisoner who wished to communl-
cate with him could do so without
inconvenience to Mrs. Michael, whose
health is rather poor.

Sum of So, ,lO4 by Jury
Charged DR.. McAnalIy With Assault
and Malicious PrOsecution-TriaI
Consumed An Entire Dau


l.. 5. Ford; suing DR.. w. J. Mean
ally, alleging assault and malicious
prosecution, was awarded SO, ,1O4 late
Friday evening by a jury In the Su-
per1or court. He gets $25 on the as
sault charge and $3,079 on the mali
clous prosecution issue. Mr.. Ford in
stltuted proceedings in am effort to
recover $22, 100. The trial practically
took up all of Fridays session. Both
men live in High Point.
The plaintiff contended that he rent
ed building from DIR. McAnally for
the purpose of conducting a photog-
rapher's gallery. It needed repairs
and the defendant had promised to put
It IN shape. In the meantime the de-
Efendant ordered number of beaver
boards with which to remodel a store
building on the premises, but the
driver delivered the material to Mr..
FordAs establishment. The driver
found out his mistake and went to
get the boards, but Mr.. Ford, believ-
ing that they were intended for his
building, declined to give them up. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Ford, DR.. McAnallv
came in person, with the driver, to
recover the material. 1t was at this
time that DR.. McAnally is alleged to
have struck the plaintiff. Ford then
went to his home, it is alleged, to get
his pistol. When he returned DO
licenlan was on hand. Ford was taken
to the police station and locked up
for several hours. A few days later
he was tried and found not guilty.
The defendant contended that he
signed blank warrant, believing that
when filled in it would be peace
warrant against the plaintiff, declar-
ing to the desk sergeant that he (the
defendant) thought Mr.. Ford was
dangerous man. Dr. McAnally stated
that he didn't know the plaintiff had
been locked up until a few hours aft
erwards; that he went to the jail and
carried him some fruit and offered to
go on his bond, provided the police
took up the various pieces of firearms
belonging to him. He said out of
sympathy for the plaintiff he request
ed the Judge to include him (Dr. Nc
Anally) in the warrant and to find the
plaintiff not guilty. The defendant as
sertsd that he was charged with the
cost of the action. .a -

Crapsho ting Goes
Up the Social Scale
''fRolling the GalIopers" Much in Favor

=" Rolling the GallOpeHs" Much in Favor
Since. the War-Many DevOtees.
h. One of the remarkable develop
ments of the war is the rise in the
social scale of crapshooting, which
has been elevated from a back alley
scrlmmage to front parlor pastime
says the New York Herald. In the
army many young men who had never
rolled the bones before learned to
groom the gallopers, just as they be-
came initiated in the mysteries of K.
P. for the first time and became
adept attending the shrine of the
kitchen sink. In the minds of for
elgners the. dice seem to have SUPER
seded the eagle as the American en-
Dtem, for some of the men would
nave ben willing to shoot with the
Helnies for the Hindenburg line with.
out using ammunition.
SO at home, as African golf came
TO be looked upon as a necessary form
of relaxation for the BOYS in the
trenches, the ivory cubes have devel-
oped almost an odor of sanctity. and a
crap game is looked upon now by
even the best bootlegging circles as
mild dissipation, like eating Welsh
rabbit. Mere mention of the game in
a play or at party evokes screams
OF laughter and crowns the mentionerl
as the wit of the evening.
Various first aids to more perfect
vlrtuously in handling the pretty pets
have come to the fore now that crap
shooting is drawing room accom-
pl1shment and no longer an OCCASION
for vulgar razor display. There has
recently been "a magic fluid for poll
ishing dice" thed evotees of the art
prOfeSSed there was nothing so pood
as the hand to bring those babies to
healthy glow. However, research
by students of the game disclosed that
the magic fluid was a colorless LIQUID
to be used in making transparent dice
more amendable to reason.
Transparent dice, tastefulIy tinted
in various colors, were designed sd
| that theMeye could see through them
and make sure that no one in a cau4
tious moment had slipped little plug
| OF lead into the cubes, thereby making
fate more subject to control. In the
brunette circles where dice are most
rampant transparent ones have been a
check on the homicide rate. But the
magic fluid" have been devised to put
spell on them.
A short hole is bored in the side of
transparent cube and drop of the
precious fluid poured sparingly from
the bottle. This hardens in the cavity
and, being crystal clear assures the
same color as the material around it,
so that the cube is seemingly as inno-
cent as ever. But this plug is heavier
than the other material, SO that the
wielder. OF the dice can make the game
almost mathematical certainty-un
less hes caught at it.

NO REDUCTION IN
 THE RATESON COAL
Operation of Louisville and Nashville Railroad Shows
 Deficit, Says Official

Further explaining why the Louis vile and Nashville and other soutk- ern trunk1ines cannot see their way to reduction in rates on coal or other commodities at this time, A. K. Smith, vice president of the Louis- vile and Nashville, writing to A. w. Vogtle of the Corona Coal company. says
 have Just receivou our completed May Operating statement.
 For the first five months of the present calendar year, our railway operating revenues amounted to $47,- 746.909.11; our railway operating eX penses, were 99.3S per cent-s47.- 450.426.3S. Our non-o operating income tax accruals. rentals, fixed charges, etc, our income balance was in de- ficit S4.129,725.S7.
 Even had we the benefit of the recent wage reduction during the whole of the five months. we. never theless. would have been in deficit between one anda one and one e-half million dollars in our income balance.
 While we expect. in the second half of this year, to show a some what better performance than the above, due to the wage reduction and lesser prices for fuel, etc, nevertheless, we do not anticipate that the year s showing will produce any appreci- able income on the investment.
 Under such conditions, you can readily appreciate why we cannot af- ford to, now, consider general re- auctions in rates on coal, ors any other commodity, unless, indeed, 1t can be shown conclusively that a reduction with regard to any rates will so augment the volume of the business as to appreciably increase the net revenue"

LARGEST SWIMMING
 POOL IN THE WORLD

Birmingham outstrips New York in one respect. at least even though those of Gotham citizenship have failed to give the Magic City credit. Tex Ritkard. promoter of the recent Ca;pentier- Dempsey fight operates swimming pool In Madison Square Garden. This pool, which has just opened, Is billed all over New York as the largest swimming pool in the world.
 "I went in for look and came away disappointed" said Gene Henry. who took in the recent fight at Jer- sey City T expected to see the largest pool in the world. WhenI got in the place saw at once thatthe pool at Edgewood park would out strip Tex's mammoth pool In dimen- sions. Then asked for figures.
 "Philadelphia Jack O'Brien gave me the measurements. The Madison Square Garden pool is no feet by 25o feet
 "Returning to Birmingham. just out of curiosity. I went to Edgswood mark to check up. I found there a concrete bottomed pool much bigger than Richards. Neptune Beach Is 12S feet wide in comparison to 1Io for the Manhattan beach, and is $50 feet long in comparison to 250 feet for Richards pool. Since getting these figures down in black and white I'm led to believe that Hugh Hills boast thAt he has the largest concrete-bot- toned swimming pool in the world Is correct. This Ia a feather in Bir- Minsham's cap. and the Magic City should be proud that she is able to outstrip New York in one thin~ at

AN AMAZING SECRET ABOUT TOOTH TASTES
 AT LAST DISCLOSED

A recent scientific investigation re- veals the surprising fact that many tooth 'pastes and powders, instead of helping the gums and teeth, often do them serious harm
 This is because the abrasive sub stances contained in tooth pastes gradually wear tiny crevices in the teeth, where decay germs quickly enter. This gritty substance also tears the membranes of the gums where germs of pyorrhea and other dangerous mouth diseases quickly gain foothold.
 The ideal dentifrice 1t Is found, is a thoroughly antiseptic liquid mouth wash such as Sterolfne. This cleanses all the hidden spots that tooth pastes and powders never reach. and acts as a real preventive of the many diseases contracted through the mouth. Stero- line keeps the mouth cool, sweet and fresh, heals raw and bleeding gums and quickly helps to overcome bad breath. Get bottle from your drug gist today.-Adv.

J|TNEY ORDINANCE
 ATTACKED IN COURT

The new jtney ordinance adopted by the city commiss was attacked yesterday when J. J. Giglio head of the local jitney operators, filed pe- tition in the chancery division of the circuit court asking for an injunc- tion restraining the city from enforce ing the-ordinance.
 The jitney ordinance is attacked on grounds of violation of both the state and federal constitutions. Gigiio claims he has paid both state and county licenses and the city license to operate a taxicab, and that he is operating his cars as jitney busses He claims it is unconstitutional to deny him the use of the streets for the carrying on of his business.
 A preliminary injunction to re- strain the ordinance until the case can be heard was asked in the petit tion. Harris Burns, attorney for Giglio, filed the petition and the en- tire city commission is named as re- spondents.
 It is generally understood that jit- ney men are not well pleased with the routing features of the new or dinance, and the injunction aims es- pecially at restraining that feature of the ordinance.
