Ella Mae Maya, Dim From Bullet Fired Into Her Truck i i ii Gastonia, Sept. 14.-?The blood of a young mother quenched Gastonia'* mob Are tonight. An intense calm aettled upon the community, as the citiaens, stirred Ave hours before to unbelievable heights of turmoil^ viewed aghast the bullet pierced form of the little -woman whose life was a forfeit to the local labor disturbance. Mrs. Ella May Mayes, (pee Biggins) aged 2#, lay dead. Her Ave small children wept in the home of a relative. Sheriff's officers sought the occupsnts of u Ford car, from which they believe the bullet came which killed Mrs. Mays. Twenty-three Bessemer City textile workers in a truck, driven back on reaching Gastonia on their way t<> the South Gastonia Communist meeting this afternoon, wrecked with an Essex coach, said by sheriff's officers to be the property of Fred Borrow, Loray Mill carpenter. At the moment of the wreck a murderous rifleAre was directed from an undetermined source at the massed passengers in the truck, and Mrs. Mays fell, her chest pierced by a bullet. Roland White, a Bessemer City youth, had a broken arm. .Mrs. Mary Goldsmith had a slight wound on her lip. Members of the truck party jumped from the ditched truck and ran across a field, followed by bullets. A dozen shots were fired, according to Charles Shope, one of the passengers in the truck. Others stood in the big vehicle, grouped around the fallen woman, their hand-: raised, and they were not harmed. 300,000 Hens on Poultry Farm. More than 100,000 eggs are collected every day at one of the world's largest poultry farms, pear Los Angeles, Cal. On this hundred-acre ranch are housed 300,000 laying hens, equal to the total population of a city the size of Denver, Col. Add to this number the 200,000 baby chicks which are being raised to become egg producers and the total becomes half a million. To feed this dock of cacklers, a million pounds of chicken feed is used annually. Scientific methods of feeding and sanitation and the latest mechanical and electrical equipment are employed to increase production. A small army of workmen, is kept to care for the flock and look after thfeir daily needs. The daily yield of eggs of this farm is valued at more than $5,000. About a third of the entire population of the United States could be supplied with alp egg from the annual production of this one farm. White Brute Goes To Chair. Raleigh, N.

Bishopville, Sept. 12.?Absence because of illness of a material witness caused continuance today in Lee county court of general sessions of the trial of Willis J. Woodham and his son, Alva Woodham, on charges of slaying W; M. McKenzie last March 9. The case was set for trial today and court had recessed for three days following the return of a true bill against the defendants. The motion for continuance was made by Mendel L. Smith, head of the defense counsel. It is now set for the next term of court. The witness absent was Mrs. Vera Woodham, wife of Alva Woodham, who is' said to have been un eye-witness to the alleged dispute over boundary line of the Woodham and McKenzie farms.

I Falmouth, Ky.?The body of Mrs. Mary Boone Bryan, heroic sister of Daniel Boone, will rest under a mon, ument to be erected by the Daughters j of the American Revolution. It has been removed from the grave where it was placed 110 years ago and taken to Grant's Lick cemetery. Mrs. Bryan's bravery was shown when Bryan's fort was besieged by Indians. When lack-of water threatened the small garrison, the women calmly j walked out of the protecting walls down to the spring. There they filled I their jugs, chatting and laughing as j if they were certain the Indians had gone away; When every jug was full they dashed back into the garrison before the amazed Indians in the skirting forests could muster the wit to take them'. Bryan's fori' since has been made a historic shrine. 12,000 More Cars in South Carolina. There are 12,000 more automobiles in operation in South Carolina today than there were a year ago. By January 1, 1030, the number will exceed those of 12 months previous by at least 16,000. The state motor vehicle department is handling 100 car transactions per day more than was the case at this time last year and the vast majority of these represent new car sales. These facts are brought out in a survey just completed by the state motor vehicle department and the South Carolina Moter club. New tag sales for 1029 are already far ahead of the record for all of last year," standing 124,318 for 1920 up to August 21 while the total for 1928 was only 113,054. Transfer titles in 1928 reached a total of 12,854 while up to August 21 this year, 19,220 such transfers had been made. The state will need 66,000 "BPlates," the tags used on the lightest of the 1929 cars, as against 52,909 of the same class of tags used larft year. The original order of these tags was for 45,000; an aditional 10,000 were ordered two months ago. These have been all exhusted and an aditional 10,000 recently ordered are expected at once. There will be at least 210,000 motor vehicles in operation in the state by Jariuary 1, next, W. V. Sutherland, head of the state motor Vehicle department estimates. This will give the state an increase of 16,683 over the 194,267 vehicles in operation at the end of last year. The motor club's estimate is slightly higher showing that there should be approximately 213,000 South Carolina-owned vehicles when next year is ushered in, a gain of nearly 19,000 cars. ?:?.William P. Stradley, note clerk of the Southern Trust company, and assistant cashier of the American National Bank, is in the Spartanburg jail on a charge of embexxUng $10,268.71. The shortages cover a period of six years, and were cleverly Mncaaled. Stradley, who enjoys the high regard of his superiors andwas Ready For Action.
