Paul Hu4n#)l of Washing'.. m, N.
ft young white man, thought to have
k*tn about 30 years of age, commit- j
tod suicide or kilted himself accident- :
ally at a construction oamp of the ;
Wateree Power Company on Catawba
liver, 15 miles from Lancaster, op
po site" the Rocky Creek power .station,
about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning,
Huiinell, who was u limy checker at
the camp, was wanted in Salisbury on
a charge of burglary of a More. Of
ficers had located him at the camp
and Policeman Wagstaflf of Salisbury
uiul Special State Officer Moore, who
is a peace officer at the camp were in >
the art of taking lludnell into aMo !
dy when the fatal shooting occurred. j
Testimony at the inquest was to the
effect, that lludnell had t^cn all the
cartridges except one out of a pistol
he had in his possession, and ft Is not
known whether the shot he fired was'
intended for the officer who was
standing over him, or for himself.
Some think he decided to end his life
rather than submit to arrest and con
?
viction on the charges, which he. is al
leged to have admitted, it being re
ported that he had served IS months
in the Federal penitentiary in Atlanta
on some other charge and was out on
parole. The bullet entered the right
side of the head near the ear, ranging
across. The wounded man was put on
a stretcher and brought to Lancaster,
the intention being to take him to the I
hospital. He was dead when Lancas
ter was reached so the remains were
taken to the J. F^Mackey Company's
Undertaking department where an in
quest was held and the coroner's jury
held that he came to his death by a
self-inflicted gun shot wound. Rela
tives at Washington, N. C., were
telegraphed and instructions were
given to prepare the body for burial
and ship to his home which was ac
cordingly done, leaving here on the
3:36 p. in. Southern train Tuesday.?
Lancaster News.
A Good Word.
Denouncing the younger generation
is a favorite pastime of all critically
disposed people. Most of us will
freely admit that we do not under
stand the up-rising generation.
Once .1 read that seldom do two gen
erations understand each other, and
that three generations never under
stand each other. There's a lot of
truth' in that. Nothing is easier than
to distrust people you do not under
stand.
The other day in Yazoo City, Miss.,
John Sharpe Williams, 71 years old,
made a speech in which he warmly
defended the younger generation.
What he said was so original, so urf
t sua 1 that it should niako us do som?
thinking. The following paragraph
is quoted from the News and Courier:
"Iiut Senator Williams, much as
he loved the ways of his own day, has
no patience with those who would cry
down the youth of today. "This is .In
age of youth," he s*fid. "That is one
of the reasons why I left public life.
I wanted to turn over the reins to
some one younger and more acquaint
ed with the present generation." A
-wise decision and broadly patriotic.
And the grounds of Senator Williams'
faith in the new generation are worth
broadcasting. It is not that/ he dis
counts the wisdom of the past. It is
because he is confident that what is
best in the past will survive. A man's
past and his trailing are, he said,
like the roots of a tree, "both being
necessary for the lijV of either." Then
hear him:
"Modern scientists . have deserted
the old saying that environment had
a lot to do with a man's character
and work and have learned that there
is nothing in a man when he leaves
the World that wa< r.r>t. born in him.
So they Have introduced this law of
heredity and you remember it.
"Our children are in the saddle.
They sho-w constancy in adversity,
moderacy in prosperity arid intr-llt?vi.
iti meeting the real problems of the
world. They are born with something
of the traits <.f their ancestors. The
first thing for the new generation to
do is to strive to improve on the de
red it y of their children, and see !
they cannot rear them better than
they themselves were brought up.
This new generation has the ability t<>
d<? this. Remember every favor which
was given your father and mother by
your grandparents and when th*
chance comes return it and raise your
children a little better than we were
raised. "--Mrs. H. IL Crosland iri the
Pee Dec Advocate.

L. H. THOMAS SHORT
Highway Department Chief Tell* of
Defalcation
Columbia, S. <\, Aiik. 1 1? A
shortage of $17,207 in the accounts
of- 1- II. Thorn##, recently resigned
as secretary and treasurer of t<ho
slate highway commission, was re.
ported to the commission today by
Chief ( oiiuni^sioiu i Mdniuiiii, state
ment of <the situation being made of
ficially to the commission at its Aug
U*t meeting at tin-; capitol.
The statement was received as in
formation and tlu' commission adopt
ed a resolution ordering a complete
-probe of the' department.
Mr. McGowan stated that the
shortage lias been mude good by the
bonding Jiouse that bonded Mr. Thom
f Asked by members of the eonv
mission if ho knew whether Mr.
Thomas or his friends had made good
the shortage through the bonding
company, Mr. MeGowan replied that
he did not know, but he understood
friends of Mr, Thomas in Columbia
had come to his aid. Mr. McGowan
was also asked if he knew .where Mr.
Thomas is, and he replied negatively, j
The ^ shortage, Mr. McGowan ex
plained, was .in the accounts of the
Savannah river bridge commission,
of which Mr, Thomas was ex of
ficio treasurer. This commission is
erecting the new span ovej- the Sa
vannah river , rtt Savannah, and is
composed of highway representatives
from the two states.
Following the discovery of the
^shortage, Mr, McGowan said, by the
new secretary Ben M. Sawyer, Mr.
Thomas' lesignaLkm Wns accepted on
July 27.
The commission voted to appoint
a committee of three members, to
make a thorough investigation of the
highway department from the time
of its organization >to the present
time. The committee is authorized to
employ experts to audit its books and
make a close probe of .its affairs.
' The statement made by Chief Mc
Gowan to the commission follows:
"Mr. Chairman, it is my painful
duty to officially inform 'the com
mittee of the defalcation of L. H.
Thomas. The amount thereof from
the Savannah river bridge commis
sion as reported is $17,267.88. This
came about to the best of my knowl
edge before I came here. It was
discovered by Mr, Sawyer, and came
to my knowledge first in somewhat
detail through friends of Thomas.
They asked me if I would accept his
resignation and I told them J would
if he would submit it that day and
the shortage was made good. The
shortage has been made good by the
bonding company. His resignation
| was accepted on the 27th day of July.
1 hat is all. There have been some
other minor matters about check;;
and things of that kind that don't
amount to much.
"1 have been very severly criti
cised for keeping my mouth shut. 1
hold myself accountable to this com
mission and I ajn hereb.V giving my
at'eountr - 1 did Jiot write it to any
body. 1 am sorry as I can be for him
and his dependents and his friends.
Had trouble travels fast enough. To
the best of my knowledge the state
i highway department and the Savan
j nah bridge commission have not suf
, ferod one cent because this has been
made good. I made no effort to have
him arrested or apprehended. 1 saw
no reason for that'. I did not con.
j sidor it coming within my proper
I power, preferring to wait and state
' the simple facts to the commission.
"One other rea=on why I was so
? very anxious .not to unduly hurt this
person' was because .shortly after I
! came here it was my duty to request
; liis resignation and i/u* commissioM
i was considerate -enough t" accept it.
( I pre for at this time to h<ar ft " a'l '

Ford's I'niipie I'uhlicat ion W ill Ac
cept Advertising After October.
A change in the policy of Henry
Ford's publication, the Dearborn In
dependent, was announced ' today.
Advertising will he accepted begin*
ning with the October 3, 11*25, issue of
the Magazine.
The Dearborn Independent has not
carried u Jine of paid advertising
since it has been the property of Mr.
Ford and the change in policy reflects
li growing feeling on the part of the
public to expert as a buying guide ?
a certain amount of advertising in
magazines of its choiec.
However, advertising in the Dear
born Independent is to be kept within
certain definite limits. Under the new
policy the magazine is to be increased
in size from .'52 pages to 18 pages, but
the amount of space available in each
issue will be only thirty-?t/hree and a
third per cent, of the total space in
"side, or in the 18- page magazine only
16 pages will carry advertisements,
excluive of covers. This rule is said
to be unique in the publishing Held.
Other requirements are n\pde relative
to the kind and nature of advertising
which will be acceptable.
The Dearborn Independent, then \
small country weekly newspaper, was
acquired by Mr. Ford in 1018. All
paid advertising was dropped and the
paper changed to a sixteen-page mag
azine. In May of this year, with the
installation of new presses, the maga
zine was increased to o2 pdges of
standard size. The Dearborn Inde
pendent, since becoming a Ford prop
erty, has become one of the most
widely discussed publications in t-hv*
world. It is distributed to over COO,
