PATR0LMAN FACES
MURDER CHARGE
State Highway Trooper To
Appear In Death OF
Chief o. Police

SHELBY, Sept. 4. -(P- State
Highway Patrolman Harolotis Day
ton, %, faces a preliminary hear
ing in Cleveland county recorders
court here tomorrow on a murder
warrant in the death of Albert
Carl Short, 81, police chief at
Cherryville.
Dayton's attorneys have announc-
ed they will pull all the stops
and air the case completely" at
the hearing.
The murder warrant was signed
by Mrs. Verta Short Lublanezki,
Shorts daughter, who said she had
witnessed the fatal shooting near
Kings Mountain on August 10.
A Cleveland county coroner's
jury cleared the trooper the next
day, terming the shooting ''justi-
fable homicide" The state high
way patrol also found after an in
vestigation that Dayton was not at
fault.
Dayton testified at the inquest
that Short had attacked him with
a knife after he stopped the chief S
car for an alleged traffic violation.
Judge w. L. Angel will decide to-
morrow whether there is probable
cause to take the case to the grand
jury in October.
Dayton has been recuperating
from knife wounds at his summer
home in Robbinsville, Graham
county. He is free on $500 bond.
Cleveland county Solicitor By
mum E. Weathers said he believed
that attorneys for Mrs. Lublanezki
would attempt to prove that the
patrolman went to extremes in
shooting Short five times.
Sam j. Erwin and Frank c.
Patton of Morganton will appear
for Mrs. Lublanezki. Defending the
patrolman will be Peyton Nc Swain
and c.. C.. Horn.

wear is $4,000 per hundred for a
type of tobacco that is very I'M
common and none of which has
appeared IN local warehouse
floors this %season.)
Most number of farmers Offer
ing tobacco on any one days
sale: 708.
BY the time this is read-if it
is-the figure jockeys will prob
ably click out more records. But
that's enough for nov
Today's top volume sales
brought a total Of $3.50, 424. 60 for
an average price per hundred
pounds of $46.83, which figure still
keeps the Wallace Market a good
bit above the average prices
throughout the Eastern Belt. Wal
lace was $1.91 above the general
averages officially announced for
last week.
Even with today's record-break-
er Wallace stands to break that
mark several times during the
season. 1t may even top the fig
ure tomorrow. 1t almost certain
ly. will on next Monday.
On top of the figure marks,
there was probably a record num-
Der of circuit riders on the market
today for any one day. Circuit
riders are the expert judges OF
tobacco who travel throughout the
belt giving buyers for the various
big tobacco companies the latest
dope on grades, what the COM
panies want to buy, how much
they want to pay, etc. Nearly
every buyer on the market today
conferred with his circuit rider at
some time during today's whop-
ping sales.
And, to make the whole record
smashing performance complete,
the Man Who Sells Boiled Peanuts
put in his appearance for the first
time this season. The Boiled Pea
nut Man is something of an in
stitution on Eastern North Caro-
lima tobacco markets. And so, of
course, IRE his peanuts which are
boiled in sailed water-just like
you'd cook a mess of black-eyed
peas, except the peanuts are boil
ed in the shetland then put up
in five-cent bags.
That should fix the records for
the day.

The National Civil Service League

These, in turn, said the League, added
other relatives and favorites to fat jobs
