Short'Measure Gas
Gastonia, N. C., March 22.?The
Red Lion Service company, T. B. McNeely,
owner, was indicted here Wed- j
nesday for false pretense on charges
selling four gallons of gasoline for ,
five and charging customers for the
. latter amount. The defendant waived
preliminary hearing and put up a
$300 bond for appearance at superior
<ourt.
Following reports, officers ordered
gasoline from the service station and
received only four gallons for the
price of five, they allege. The company,
enjoying a healthy patronage
for some time, did very little gasoline
.business today.

of how the couple, eh' route from

Struck by a passing automobile,

rate of speed, the Graham car
left the highway a few feet from the

Tiger river and plunged through

leaping into the river and cutting
a hole in the top of the car,
j through which they extricated the injured
woman.

49, prominent retired business man
of Greenville, was probably instantly
killed tonight about ten miles from

o'clock by Ed Collins, of Greer, who
was returning from Spartanburg. He
immediately notified local undertakers
who got in touch with the core? ner
of Spartanburg ^otrrity and re- "
ecived orders to move the body to
this place. 'The body was inside the
car, which was lying on its side, when
found. Mr. Collins ordered an nmbulapco

foupd to be dead. He was killed instantly

Will Display - Attendance Banner
Bethune, March 29.?Tho Young
People's union of "the of the First
Baptist church of Camden will display
the attendance banner of the
Kershaw B. Y. P. U. associational
convention during its next regular
meeting, which will be held Thursday
evening at 8 o'clock.
This banner was won by making
the best attendance record at the
first quarterly meeting of the convention
which was held in the Bethune
Baptist church some time ago.
The scijtc was determined by multiplying
the' number of ruiles between
the Camden church and the Bethune
:hurch by. the number of delegates
registered at the meeting.
Evidence of a good bit of interest
having been aroused in the next quarterly
meeting of the associational
convention which will be held in the
First Baptist church of Camden, Suniay
afternoon, April 11, at 3 o'clock
ind the fact that the entertaining
rhurch can score only one point for
?ach mombcr registering indicates
that it will be hard lor jMc Camden
.inion to hold tho banner next qwirtr..

PASTOR WAS A WOMAN
Accident Reveal* Sex After Marqitn
ding For 20 Yeara
? .
Birmingham, March 25-r-For 20
years Rev. Murray Leslie, negro nfruiater,
has hati^ the respect and confidence
of Alabama negro congregations
and a host of white persons in
this community. 4 The minister *as
regarded as an abel leader among the
negroee.
Today a disillusionment came to
his congregation here when surgeons
at St. Vincent hospital, where the
minister was removed after an accident,
announced that the injured
preacher was a woman.
Preacher Leslie thpn told the story, j
She Came to Alabama from Knoxville
more than a score of yegrs ago. It
sqited her to assume the garb and
sex of a man, and until a stree? car
struck her today her plans' had carried.
For years the preacher had followed
the calling of a minister in and
around Birmingham and insofar as
police have been able to learn lived
an exemplary life.
Police are looking into her past.
If nothing is found they said no
charges would rfcst against * the
woman. Her parishioners were too
shocked to. make statements as to
what action the church mightr^ake. |
Leonard Kip Rhinelander, scion of
a wealthy New York family, who a
few months ago was refused an annulment
of his marriage to Alice
Jones Rhinelander, a woman with
negro blood in her veins, has been
refused a new tr%l by a New York
supreme court justice. At the same
time the court allowed the wife $12,* |
