pnSuuotank Court records TOT
the year 1914 do not reveal any
facts concerning the death of Good

Shortly after the singular death
of the lawyer, his widow married

TOMMY MANN WAS SHOT
WITH HIS OWN PISTOL?
Either Shot Himself in Frolic With Girl or, In
Row Over The Girl, His Own Gun Was

Newspaper

That Thomas Skinner Mann,

mechanic who was seriously if
rot mortally wounded by piS-
tol shot on the Newland road
near Elizabeth City at mid
night, Sunday, Apr. 4, either
shot himself or was shot by his
own gun in a grapple with al
unarmcd opponent, is the opin-
ion of this newspaper.
The gun with which young Mann
was shot has been identified by his
friends aS his own gun. The gun

All the while thc police have been

FAT IS BLAMED
ON LAz|NESs

CHICAGO. July 26. Constant
resting is form OF laziness which
makes fat and destroys beauty,
according to Edna Wallace Hopper.
Rosters. don't belong in the
modern picture . says Miss Hopper,
in letter from Paris. Euro
pean women remain simmer than
American women because they are
always active. The American
woman is prone to recline on o
divan, read a novel and eat choco-
lates all day.
THE healthy woman who must
be constantly having her rest is
just plain lazy. She fairly rests
herself to death. She must have
her breakfast in bed She must
ride in a limousine rather than
program.
And the worst of it is, these
perpetual 'resters' are always fat.
fat women have no claim to beauty

child must be protected by a recogni-

church of its legitimacy. in spite
of the fact that 1t was born Of a
union that was not legal, but is
called a marriage.
Revolt of Morals
Thus the church, If correctly re-
ported, has put itself souarely in line
with the more enlightened view that
the revolt of morals in this country
demands that there should be no
illegitimate children regardless Of
whether there was formal mar
riage or not.
That the church has so decreed
in this case of the rich and power
full, should help in every case Of the
sinful and ignorant. where a child
IS the innocent victim OF society's
superstitions, taboos, hyprocracies
and conventional lines.
The protection of the child in all
these matters is the main thing and
the church and State must see to
it that no child shall suffer because
of the sin, ignorance. poverty or mis-
fortune Of the parents.
