Williams, the record said, was tried in connection with a bank robbery at Travelers Rest. Solicitor J. G. Leatherwood and Judge G. Dewey Oxner recommended clemency, it showed. William^ pleaded guilty to having participated in the robbery of over $9,000 from the Farmers bank of Travelers Rest in the spring of 1032 after huving testified in the case of Carlos A. Rector, former sheriff, indicted in the same case. The bank. was entered about the noon hour by a masked bandit, and Assistant Cashier G. W. Nickols was forced at pistol point to permit the robber to scoop up over $9,000 in currency. As the marauder left in an automobile, later found to have been stolen, Mr. Nickols sounded the alarm and a group of Travelers .Rest citizens went in pursuit, overtaking the bandit as he left his car just beyond the new Liberty Baptist church, about eight miles north of Travelers Rest on the .Buncombe road. Williams was captured some distance away after a foot race with the posse pursuing him. Parked at entrance of the road where he stopped was Rector, whom Williams later declared had been instigator of the crime. Rector said that he happened to be passing at the- time. He testified that the robbery had been planned at Rector's home. A mistrial resulted in the case against Rector and Williams subsequently pleaded guilty and went to the penitentiary. Rector now is serving a 10-year sentence as result of conviction of accessory after manslaughter in the slaying of Sheriff Sam D. Willis. Death At Rembert S. W.

M1KK PREDICTS ANOTHK BIG WAR (leer mr, oddltor:? i am just in reseat of yore letter J In which you ask me to give my ideas j about a future war that mought take place any day now betwixt the powers of the world, ?nd i am Klad to let you know how i feel about name and allso tell you exactly how it will start and wind up ansoforth. i am a feared that a big war ain't verry far off in the distance, the itlayona ?re not satisfied with franca and her big bugget?great britian and england is liable to light each other at the drap of a hat onner count of the former do not want the latter to use the englieh channel which lies betwixt them. if europe wants to do so, she will pick a fight with germanny and denmark, and jugger-alovoekia will line up with the rushions and then jappan w>ll take the ballance of chinna and become the alley of turkey and they will martoh into poland and wipe her off the face of asia, and that will put mussy-lena on his mettle and he will invade alice lerain, and mebbe the zaar. if spain picks a fuss with madrid, then you can look out for wales and Iceland to join 'her, and they will overthrow parris, and possibly switcherland with airplanes and bums from derrible ships and pizen gas, and nothing in the world can keep uncle sum out of the tussle, as europe and france and great brittian owe her about 4 billion dollars, and she will help them onner count of getting her monney later on. if egypt was to send planes from algerey loaded wit'h air-rabs and laughing gass and stink bums, it will be verry serious for the republic of sahara dessert and she will have to muster out all of her camels to keep from hawing her interior invaded, if such a war comes, a dett of over 1 thousand dollars will be piled up the first 6 months. the u. s. govvernment will have a hard time winning another war for her .alleys on creddick, as her boys will not fee) like fighting until they get their bonnusses paid in cash, so she mought as well pay it befoar a fight starts, and then our soldiers will whip all of the nations as they did enduring the world war. the wall street men is alreddy making plenty ammernation and balloons, and just as soon as they get the world well stocked up with fighting tools and gas and submarines, then look for the biggest war ever wuz. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd, fore-caster. A DELIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE . .1 found a perfect specimen of myself at the age of 10 the other day. 1 didn't know .till then that they were still making boys like I used to be, but there he was, just walking down the road alone. I slowed down and picked him up. . .He wore a pait%f old, cheap cottonade britches, exactly like a pair I once owned. He did not possess a hat. His hair was white, mussed up, uncombed, and full of specks of trash,' grass seeds and so forth. 'I ..His neck was dirty; he was barefoot; his knees and elbows were rusty; he had only I gallus; and it was made of hickory-stripe bed ticking; in place of buttons he used 2 wooden skewers to hold his pants up; his shirt was made of brown narrdhomespun, and it didn't fit him at all. |..He had the following items in his 2 pockets; 3 nuts, 1 bolt, 4 ends of mule shoes, 2 lizard hides, 7 nails, 2. marbles, \ fish-book with line wrapped around a ho-made lead sink,er, 2 wads of rabbit tobacco, 6 grass-hopP?r legs, 1 old pocket-knife with the blade broken in half, and 2 buckeyes. ?.I asked him where he was going J I he replied: Nowheres, just walking j about. I asked him if he was going! to school: he said: "Naw, not yet. Pa moves nearly every month and I never do get started." He ran down the glass in -my right door and spat tobacco juice all over my fenders. (I t like that?I didn't chew real tobacco). -.He made me stop the car 5 different time to throw rocks at some birds and a dog. He used his sleeve for a handkerchief. He pulled at every gadget on my dash and choked! me down a dozen times, but I just' let him pull to his heart's content, j He showed me a big pine tree that he had climbed last year to rob a! crow's nest. I *'H'8 big toe on his right foot was ahy a toe-nail. 3 of his toes on his other foot were wrapped! <up with dirty rags, he had a boil on the back of his neck, and bis lips were chapped from ear to ear. It was cold weather, <Mnt know it. He licked a !** jMr ray windshield while 1 stopped ? minute to speak to a friend. He bored a hole in the cushion with his finger. He crawled into the Wk-aeat <i different times and examined the tools in the box. I enjoyed that boy's company immensely, and was sorry when he had to get out. He was a normal 11)02 poor, but hungry country iboy. PROSPERITY HAS TURNED THE CORNER HUT NOBODY RECOGNIZED HER ..I give up. I can't fathom it. It's impossible. Am I dreaming? Something must be wrong. Millions out of work. Hundreds of millions spending billions every month for football, automobiles and picture shows. Thousands half naked, tens of thousands wearing silk, satins and fur-belows. . .Times will be hard when men give up smoaking. Times will be still harder when women give up smoaking. When the masses give up luxuries, then it will be time to worry about hard times. Jobs of the select type are scarce. Jobs at $2.40 per day, every day, are hard to find, but there's plenty work to be done, but workers are scarcer than work. Try to find a washerwoman. ..Nobody ain't walking any place. There are more new cars and more hunger in the country at present than ever before. When the average auto has its first puncture nowadays, she's traded in. Times are so hard that it's cheaper to pay $1)00.00 to boot than to patch a tire. I haven't seen a car over 6 weeks old in 0 months, except a few recent models being towed to the junk-yard ever now and then, that! might have been nearly 7 months old.1 | ..Nobody wants to buy a house or a; lot; times are too hard to buy any-1 thing to eat or live in. To tell the truth, we are all riding around so much and so fast, we don't have time to get hungry. It ain't going to be long though till you will be hearing folks say: "I could have bought that home for $6,0$0; now it ain't for sale." 51 refused to talk about the Sfhith farm at $10 per acre, now the fellow wants $60 for it." ..Hard times is a brain affection. Good times are 'here and only about. 6 per cent of the public knows it. | Nearly everybody is getting along as well as they ever got along . . . when j it comes to making a living, or some i money; they have not "checked hack"! to see how little they made 15 or 10 or 5 years a^o. It's all in the noodle now, and it will be too late too soon for most of us to profit by the rise. We have been looking for a sudden boom, but prosperity slips up on the public without notice, slowly, gently, but generously. ..We had unemployed by the thousands before this last depression. We had millions living on charity during the so-called good times of 10 years ago. There were still other millions that bought on credit and didn't pay (forced benevolence), but they now have to pay cash, and that pushes them into Uncle Sam's hands. We are all a mess of grumblers, growlers, kickers and howlers today: depending on the government and the public instead of upon ourselves. What we need is more guts, more personal pride, more confidence, more willing-to-work-for-a-living folks, and fewer . . . the 'government's got to feed me" voters. ' At least, I think there's something wrong that smells very much like that.
