operated. Both in March and last
week, the vast majority Of the
witnesses who were called would
be classified in my books as DE

SpiveY Tells Court

Bob Spivey, former operator
of a business in the Stateliut
area on highway 40. was tried
on two charges during las:
weeks term of the Court OF
General Sessions in Conway
Spivcy was found guilty of pos
session of whiSkey and resisting

On the possession of whiSk" y
he received a 500 fine or tive

arrest he was sentenced to eight
months in the State pcnitCntiarY.

vCStigation, threw a bombsheil
into the court last week wren
he testified on the stand that he
paid SIS a week last year f.
Frank Boyd, LOriS liquor store

The whole action Of the Hor-
ry Grand Jury closely resembles
the Ku Klux Khan so-called
hearings Of several years ago. AT
that time, the local State coLr'

Boyd took out warrant for
Spivey for the statement and
charges perjudy. The case is
scheduled to come up at the Fall

Spivcy, who had no court re-
cord prior to this year, told the
court that he had had constant
trouble with the law since &c
stopped paying the alleged SIS

closed for some time.

most Of the threats made by the
enemy are "bluff."
The old saying that every man
has his breaking point is not
quite true. DR.. West said. Many
factors can influence q mans
ability to resist pressure, he add
ed, but the main effort should be
at train q fighter to bend rather
than break under pressure.
This can be done by teaching
him what to expect and some Of
the tricks to outwit the enemy.
he said, because fear Of the un-
known may make him more sus-
Iceptible to the stresses he breads.
Things He Can Learn

Being put in isolation is a

But there are psychological ma
neuverS" the prisoner can adopt

HE should know that the

pointed out.

today called the attention of truck
operators to the fact that city
streets, state roads and all other
public ways are considered to
be public highways for purposes

1st. MI. Robinson said that this
tax applies to the use on the
public highways in the United
States of highway motor vehicles
having a taxable gross weight of
more than $4,000 pounds. Thus,
he exclaimed, the tax applies in
the case of these vehicles even
if they are operated solely with
in a city, town, or other metro
politan area.
The first return of this tax is
due by January 81, 1857. The re-
turn should cover vehicles used
in July, August, September, Oc-
toDer, or November 1856. Form
2290 (Oct. 1866 is the return
form to be used. MIR. Robinson
