tn noafh


Begging Chief of Police Blackwell
er to shoot him to death and declar-
ing he was ready to die, Steve Payne,
Mount Airy white man, was in pre-
carious condition at the police station
Monday afternoon as the result of
having taken on an over supply OF

the man was under his care at 3

Payne was arrested at McClellan's

have stolen some jewelrv from the
store. He was apparently intoxicated
when taken into custody and when
brought to the police station he be-
came suddenly i'll.
The police said Payne had small
quantity of liquor in his possession
when arrested. Some of the fluid
was poured upon the ground and when
match was applied it burned like
gasoline.
Desk Sergeant French said he re-
moved one of Paynes' shoes and
found a ring concealed in it. An
ether ring is said to have been taken
from him at the store.
The police said Payne refused to
tell where he secured the liquor.

health recently and appeared to be in
the heyday of youth.
William Dennis Burgess was 73
years of age, having been born in
Franklinville, Randolph county, on
November 26, 1848. He was a son of

Burgess again returned to High Point
and retired from active business.

Used Car Problem

One Of the most perpleXing prob
lens now confronted by autoOmbile
manufacturers and dealers is that of
the used car, according to reports
from Detroit, where committees of
both the National Automobile Deal
ers' Association and the National Au-
tomobile Chamber of Commerce have
had the matter under consideration.
They refer to it as ''the used car sit
uation," which apparently means, all
said and done, the sWap-in privilege
on your old car or truck.
They seem to have conjured into
view that bugbear of the auto indus
try-the "saturatiCn point" the point
at which all those persons in the
United States who can support the
financial strain will own cars. When
that mark will have been reached it
is obvious that there must be slow
down of the domestic trade to a figure
just covering the wastage by wear and
tear. Then when any man will buy a
secondhand car he will be cutting
down by one, not merely the. probable
ity, but the possibility of selling a new
car.
But even yet, according to reports
from the Detroit deliberations, there

rule forbidding trading-in of passen-
ger cars, but it SENS likely-accord-
ing to those same reports sec
ond-hand trucks will soon be eliminat-
ed as sales factor dealers and
manufacturers are agreed" says the
Detroit report, "that truck owners
should work the vehicles until their
period of usefulness is definitely
ended. Dealers holding factory truck
franchises will be given eevry support
in efforts to- stamp out the trade-in
evil"
Is it not possible nevertheless, if
the seductive voice of the salesman,
offering attractive trade-in prices is
silenced, that many business concerns
may worry along on the old truck or
delivery wagon very much longer than
the auto manufacturers imagine or de-
sire?

Husband by Court
Judge Webb Orders Willard M. Dyer,
of High Point, to Pay $1OO for
Wife's Immediate Needs and $3.50
Monthly Allowance, Also $500 COun-
sci Festivals May Come Soon.

Judge James L. Webb, presiding
over Superior court this week, Tues
day afternoon signed orders requiring
| Willard M. Dyer, of High Point, to
| pay to his wife, Mrs. Ninna Barnes
Dyer, $500 for her immediate needs
and $3.50 per month until the further
order of the court for subsistence, be-
ginning October 1, 1921. He also or
ders Mr. Dyer to pay to his wife $3.50
for counsel fees in his action against
his wife and also $3.50 counsel fees
in the proceedings instituted by Mrs.
Dyer against her husband.
Yesterdays orders came as result
of protracted. argument of motions
several weeks ago here before Judge
Webb. Attorneys Brooks, Hines and
Smith, for Mrs Dyer, contended that
Mr.. Dyer was well able to pay his wife
an allowance for subsistence until the
final settlement of their litigations in
court. King, Sapp and King, repre-
senting Mr.. Dyer, strongly contended
that their client was not able to pay,
declaring that his assets and liabilities
would just about balacne. Judge
Webb's action came after number of
days of deliberation.
In the case of Mrs. Dyer against
her husband, in which she alleges in
human treatment, brutality and non
support, Judge Webb in his order stat
ed that the following facts were
found:
1. That the plaintiff and deefndant
were married in Guilford county No
vember 1, 1916, and are now husband
wife.
2. That the defendant has mali
ciously turnedt he plaintiff out of
doors and abandoned her, and has
failed and refused to provide for her |
and contribute to her support, and
has inflicted such bodily injuries and
indignities upon her as to render her |
life burdensome and her condition in
tolerable.
3. That the defendant used whisky
to excess and became an habitual !
drunkard.
4. That the charges of adultery
against the plaintiff set up by the de-
fendant in his answer are not supz
ported by the evidence, and that the
defendant was not justified in aban- |
doning his wife and failing to sup
port her
5. That the plaintiff is at this time !
in bad state of health, and is in need
of medical attention and hospital
treatment. !
6. That the defendant is solvent |
and amply able to pay the sum of
$3.50 per month for the support and
maintenance Of his wife and the sum
of S1G0 tn nrovide for her immediate
needs. and the sum of $3.50 as counsel
fees for the prosecution of this action.
