Gets A Parole
Columbia, Dec. 1.?Governor Blackwood
paroled two prisoner* today and
commuted the sentence of another.
Douglas Williams, convicted in
Greenville in September, 1932, of larceny
und sentenced to six years, leas
one year and five months spent in
jail before trial, was paroled on condition
he remain out of the state.
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.

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.

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.
