Hard Time To Find a Sheriff
Kinston, N. C., Dec. 8.?The race
isn't always won by the fastest horse,!
neither does the winner of a political
post always take office. But it is'
what happened here.
Lenoir county electors chose Matthew
Tyndall for sheriff at the November
election. Tyndall had not
looked up the wages the sheriff makes
In this eounty. When he found out
that to take office would mean a
heavy cut in his income, he declined
to' qualify.
The county commissioners elect-!
0(1 TV. Snow Nunn, a Teading can^t
didate in the Democratic primary.!
Nunn declined. Then Wiley Moseley
qualified.
A dispatch from Chicago says that
a man in that city took a big drink
of bootleg whiskey and soon began
seeing reptiles and animals of all
Kinds. He rented a room and opened
a museum. The admission charge to
see the animals" was thirty-five
cents. People paid their money to
see the show hut found nothing in
the room except the man. They appealed
to a policeman. The officer
was cornered and given a drink of the
<t-mn r a"i? ,!??n he paid the man
$.100 for a half interest in the show.

Gangster Threatened
Judge; Shot To Death
New York, Dec. 5.-^A spectacular
bi'Iu-me of a notorious gangster to
make good in the courtroom a death
threat of a pal against the judge who
had convicted them ended today in
the killing of Sigmund (Whitley)
Went, jewel robber, and the wounding!
of two guards in the criminal courts
building.
Murray Fershing, the pal, went to
Sing Sing last June for 20 years after
tell.ng Judge Donncllan "You won't
live much longer." This morning'
while Weiss was being taken to court
for proceedings instituted to send
him to prison for life as a fourth offender
a revolver dropped from u leg
of his trousers and he wus forced to
turn what police regarded as a plan i
to kill the judge into a fatal effort to
escape.
With the weapon which presumably
had been smuggled to him Weiss had
put guards out- of combat in a corridor
o'f the building, when his guh
jammed and he became the target for
two well aimed bullets from the pistol
of John Doyle, captain of the criminal
courts building atendants. He die<i
instantly.
Leon Kar 1st rand and Alfred Williams,
the guards, were taking Weiss'
handcuffed along the corridor when
the prisoner stumbled and the gun
fell to the floor. The three men grappled
and fell in a heap.
Hut Weiss regained possession of
the revolver. He aimed straight at
Kar 1st rand's head, but the attendant,
with frantic lurch of his body escaped
with a searing wound on the
forehead. Williams an instant later
was hit in the hand, and a third bullet
went wild. Doyle, entering from
the courtroom, then ,fired as Weiss'
gun jammed.

The Children
Killed In Unusual Way
James Wilkes, n negro of the
Belair section, has demonstrated a i
new method of double-action self-!
defense. One night last week at' a
negro festival he became involved in
a difficulty with another negro. In
the affray, it is said, Wilkes struck
at his antagonist with the butt of his
Pistol, which caused the weapon to
be discharged, firing in a direction to
the rear and hitting Brice McCain,
another attendant at the festival, in
the head. The wounded man was
taken to the Monroe hospital where
he died shortly after. Wilkes was
arrested by officers and taken before

Will Roger* Says '
You can't hardly yet a man to do
anything for you these days in politics
without offering him a Cabinet
position. I been giving a mighty
lot of thought to my Cabinet and I
find that every rich man now pictures,
himself as another MeRon. The rich
man used to think th?t he would be
slumming if he mixed himself,up with
any of those Pumpkin Seed jobs, like
a Cabinet officer, but Mellon stepped
out and got so much publicity tha| all
the rest began to think, "How long
has this been going on?"
I have made a lot of promises,
but they were only political promises,
and I have 110 idea of keeping i
uny of them. 1 can promise the best
Cabinet of any of them, Henry Ford
would be my secretary of the Trea.i- i
ury, he would make us forget that
illuminum pays as well as shines,!
and aH for General Motors and Ras- |
kob und that gang, we would cut our
profit to $.'W0.00 a ear and put them
right out of business. Say, Ford
could take our little dab of money,
that our Treasury has, a/id let him
handle it a little while and he would
have us out of the Ited by Xmas.
And as for my Secretary of State,
what's the matter with using Coolidge
? He knows everything that u
Secretary of State does and I believe j
if a nrian could get him he'd be worth
the money.
So with Calvin and Henry in there ,
I got the neuclus of a pretty snorty
cabinet. You see I am in a position
to get the best talent available. I
have no Campaign Manager to take ;
care of. And there are no "president
makers" in our Anti-Bunk party that
has to be rewarded. I'm self-made. !
There is gome fellow named "Vox |
Poppuli" or something like that, I ;
don't know who he is, but I want him ,
for Post Master General, he writes |
more letters than anybody.
