NAACP SAVES
HOLL|NS FROM
DEATH CHAIR
Jury Exclusion Is
Again AssaiIed By
Supreme Court

WAsaINGTON-The U. S. su-
preme Court struck another blow
at the Southern practice of jury

The 17O-word unanimous deci-
sion was delivered by Chief Just

paved for a new trial for Clarence
Norris, on similar grounds.
The Hollins case was remanded

courts. where the NAACP, whose
attorneys handled the appeal, has
waged a persistent fight for Hol-
lins's freedom since his arrest,
more than three years ago, on a
charge of eriminally attacking a
white woman.
Case Reviewed
According to the record on file
in the supreme court, Hollins and
the white girl, Alta McCollum rnet

ceruber 26, 1881, and went into
pasture. where they had Illicit re-
lations three times at different
places.
HoIlins was later arrested and
was said to have confessed to the
incident, but maintained that the
Illicit relations were voluntary.
He was first convicted and SEN
fenced to die December 80, 1881,
upon a plea of guilty before the
district court of Creek County,
Oklahoma. This conviction was
set aside on habeas corpus by the

coIOred Chemist Finds New Method
Of Preserving Meats and Vegetables

PHILADELPHIA New ways
to cure meat and to dry asparagus
butts for market were told by
Lloyd Hall, Chicago chemist, who
spoke at the New York session Of
the American Medical Society last
week and stopped here en- route
home.
Has Own Laboratory
Hall nov has his own Iabora-
tory and holds contracts with lead
ing packing houses and canning
industries throughout the country
as consulting chemist.
He has contributed a number Of
scientific articles to trade maya
zines; he had a number Of patents
and now has six or seven pending.
Drying Of Asparagus
Two Of the papers he was to
submit to the conference body
dealt with Dehydration Of Aspar-
agus Butts and their Utilization,
and q Process for Curing Meat and
Meat Products.
ia the latter case mis- findings
resulted in reducing the time Of
curing meats from eighteen to
twenty-one days to time Of from
thee to five days. Years ago this
process took from sixty to seven
ty days.
In the former instance the pro-
cess is calculated to turn a waste
product into profit. Because OF
this discovery cannerles now can
put up the dried asparagus butts
for various uses. They make soups
and purees and even q special

preventative Arthur W. Mitchell

Proof Of the foregoing Is prima
facie evidence that the officer suf-
fered or permitted the act. Any
guilty officer, under the terms of
the Lewis-Mitchen bin, would be
guilty of felony and subject to a
fine Of not more than $4,000, Inn
prisonment for not mere than five
years, OF both.
The Lewis Mitchell bin would
also make it a felony for any Of
ficer in charge Of q prisoner to
conspire with any person to harm
his charge. The penalty would be
Imprisonment for not less than
two years or more than ten years.
Persons conspiring with the off
Ger would also be guilty Of fell

ONLY ONE-CENT TAX
DUE ON 35-CENT MEAL

Contrary to the information given
out in the county recently by a state
official that all meals at hotels and
boarding houses would be subject to
a three-cent tax, C. B. Bogart, deputy
state collector of revenue, states that
restaurant operators are collecting an
illegal tax when they levy cents on
a 35-cent meal.
Mr.. Bogart made this explanation
to the public on being informed that
certain restaurant operators were col
lecting 2 cents tax on 35-cent meals.
He explained that this amounts to a
tax Of 6 per cent, which is twice that
authorized by the legislature.
He stated that the following is the
legal schedule under which the sales
tax on meals must be collected:
Sales amounting to less tan 10
cents, no tax; 10 to IS cents, cent
tax; SO to 70 cents, 2 cents tax; II
cents to $1.05, 8 cents tax. Sales
totaling more than $1.05 are subject
to a straight 3 per cent tax, fractions
being governed by the major portion.
Mr.. Bogart stated that this sched-
ule applies to ''meals served in hotels,
cafes, restaurants, tourist camps and
boarding houses" He explained that
it is no different from the general
sales tax except that it became eff
fective as of June /, while the gener-
al sales tax is effective as of July /.
After July 1, only sweet milk will be
exempt from the tax.

MIDWIFE CLASSES

(By Miss Kathryn Livingston)
Midwife classes are to be held soon.
Schedule will be given next week in
this newspaper. Anyone practicing
midwifery is required to attend for
the purpose of receiving instructions
and qualifying for acceptable work
as midwives.
If the women of the county, the
clubs, the church circles, home MAX
ing case workers, etc., would help by
providing each midwife bag equip
ped with all the little articles so
necessary for safe practice what a
boon it would be to the welfare Of
the women. Certainly the civic mind
ed, if they realized the need, would
gladly render this service to women
less fortunate than they.
The State Board of Health feels
that every birth should be attented by
a competent physician, but under
present conditions this is impossible,
so it is the aim of this program to
afford to those women who must de-
pend on midwives as great protection
as possible.

RECKLESS DRIVING LEAVES
TRAIL OF DEATH

AS the prohibition situation in
North Carolina reaches a point where
we are both wet and dry at the same
time, we tax occasion to rfer to an
Associated Press article from Raleigh
which appeared recently in the daily
newspapers of the state.
"A total of 397 persons were killed
as result of automobile wrecks dur
ing the first five months of this year,
as compared with 334 during a SINH
lar period in 1884.
ain May, rs people were killed, as
compared with II in April and II in
in May last year. In addition to the
deaths, 495 persons received injuries
during the month from accidetns. A
total of 377 accidents were reported.
Intoxicated drivers featured in ITO
fatal and SO non-fatal accidents"
The article continues that more
people are killed on Sundays than on
any other day.
AS we begin another summer in
our mountain section, it is well to
ponder the situation that has prevail
ed here for time immemorial. Our
men and women, boys and girls, will
take Sundays to get drunk and GO
for automobile rides. A review of the
summer editions of the Skyland Post
shows that almost every drunken
fight or automobile accident which
happened when tie driver was intoxi-
Gated occurred on Saturday night OF

GARNER BOB"

In the June % issue of Today, Max
Stern gives national publicity to the
virtues of Farmer Bob" Doughton,
of North Carolina, chairman of the
powerful Ways and Means Committee
of the House.
The writer declares that with it's
Huey Long, Helm, Bilbo, Gen Tai
madge and other rabble-rousing sons
of Dixie, the South stands in the
docks charged with unduly disturb
ing the nations political peace. But
Exhibit A for the defense is the
portentos figure of the Honorable
Robert Lee Doughtol4 of North Caro-
lima, who Yields his gavel of power
as chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee with much loyalty,
simplicity, diligence and modesty."
Of many other things the writer
says about Farmer Bob" North
Carolinians are acquainted. Of his
quiet dignity, his shrewd common
sense, his answering loyalty to the
President, his strong determination
and power of conviction, his liberal
Jeffersonian philosophy, we have
long since known and appreciated

Sunday afternoon.

Sunday afternoon.
If we could only get into the heads
of those who tamper with "the cup
that cheers" that gasoline and whis-
key do not mix!
Liquor is alone to blame for car
accidents. There is the reckless driver
who feels it is his duty to travel as
fast as the automobile will run. He
may not have to be at any particular
place at any particular time, but he
makes sixty getting there just the
same.
The Industrial News Review de-
clares, after a survey of statistics,
the reckless driver, like the habitual
criminal, can't win.
Every newspaper carries the evil
dence of that, in accounts of those
whose lives have been sacrificed to
speed, to incompetence, and to care
lessness at tn wheel.
The tragic end to the great career
of T. E. Shaw, the famed Lawrence
of Arabia" was headlined in the
papers of the world a few weeks ago.
Not yet 40, Shaw had done war SER
vice whose value to the English cause
was so great as to make it almost
unappraisable. He had distinguished
himself as a translator of Greek
classics. He was one of the most bril-
liant of living archaeologists. He was
a military and mechanical genius of
the first rank. 1t was certain that his
period of greatest achievement still
lay in the years ahead.
Shaw's "hobby" was to drive auto
mobiles and motorcycles at incredi-
bly, high speeds on country roads.
According to news accounts, his cycle
was going at around eighty miles an
hour when he was forced to deliber-
ately crash to avoid striking boy on
bicycle. A few days later he died,
without regaining consciousness. His
doctor said that it was best that he
did not live, because of the terrible
injuries his brain had sustained in
the accident. Congenital recklessness
had robbed the world of one of it's
gifted minds.
Every year in this country alone,
some $4,000 people die-victims to
improperly-driven motor vehicles.
Among them are the famous and the
obscure, the brilliant and the medic
ere. Each life lost means that the
nations resources have been Slapped
each death means misery and un-
happiness to others. Reckless driving
is an unbeatable game, at which the
player always loses-and which like
wise penalties and robs the innocent.
