THE CASE AGAINST R. C. HOFF
MAN FOR ABDUCTION.
The case against Mrs. Verda Bell
and R. C. Hoffman, charged with reg
istering at a local hotel as man and
wife, they not being married, and the
one against Hoffman for abduction,
were brought to the attention of Judge
Kirkman Friday morning.
The counsel for the defendants in
sisted upon a trial, this morning, inas
much as his clients were unable to
give bond, and were being held in
jail. The prosecuting attorney declar
ed that the state had been unable to
prepare .the case and that several
witneses were absent from the city,
as well as several lawyers involved,
and for that reason asked for a con
tinuance until Monday morning The
continuance was granted.
Acording to the police, the husband
of Mrs. Bell has of late been in the
habit of working about 18 hours a
day, and several days ago, on return
ing home from his- work, found his
wife absent. This led to the investi
gation resulting in the arrest of the
parties at a local hotel.
The charge of abduction was pre
ferred against Hoffman on the pre-
j sumption that Mrs. Bell was forced to

who, he is alleged to have said, would

YOUTHFUL OFFENDERS IIP
THREE BOYS TRIED IN THE CITY
COURT ON A LARCENY
CHARGE.
John Turner, Alfred Harmon and
Edgar Harmon, youths ranging in
age from 12 to 187 years, were Wed
nesday morning arraigned before
Judge Kirkman in municipal court,
charged with larceny.
After, hearing the evidence Judge
Kirkman acquitted John Turner and
returned a verdict of guilty as to both
of the Harmon boys. Alfred Harmon
was sentenced to 60 days on the coun
ty roads: On account of the extreme
youth of the other defendant, Judge
Kirkman has not yet decided what
will be done with him.
It appeared from the evidence that
the three boys had been systematical
ly practicing larceny for some weeks,
their specialty being cerpenters'
tools. Some weeks ago J. C. Cross,
carpenter, found that his tool chest
had been opened and his tools remov
ed. His chest was at that time lo
cated in a house he was working upon
on Montlieu avenue. T, F. Wrenn
also missed a typewriter, numerous
Victrola redords and a valuable ring,
together with other articles, from his
home about the same time.
Several days ago one of theouth
ful culprits attempted to sell a ring
bearing certain initials, which immed
iately laid the holder of the ring open
to suspicion. The police goObusy, is
sued a search warrant and searched
the premises of the suspects. They
discovered a chest and a trunk of cer
penters' tools, besides the typewriter j
and other missing articles.
While the charge against him was
dismissed at Wednesday morning's
session of municipal court, Turner is
being held on a similar charge.
Alfred Harmon filed notice of an
appeal and is being held under $500
bond.
Three carpenters recovered tools
from the collection in the possession
of the three boys.
WHISKEY
CASE IN
MUNICIPAL
COURT.
Joe Welborn plead guilty during
Friday morning's session of municipal
court to the charge of having more
than a lawful amount of whiskey in
his possession for the purpose of sale.
He was fined $100 and the costs by
Judee Kirkman. -who said that the
- , - rt Hia
w r tt
the costs be appropriated by the city,
while the fine be donated to the asso
ciated charities.
Will Boone, negro, was found guilty
of an assault upon his wife, and was
required to pay the costs. His pun
ishment was light on account of the
fact that the judge considered the
negro woman worthy of a beating.
She was ordered to leave the city
within a week.
Lee Bryant, negro, plead guilty to
the larceny of a pair of pants, and
was sentenced to 30 days on the coun
ty roads.

j r-
j the GOVERNOR AT HIGH POINT.
We don't know whether Mr. Bick
ett can do anything toward ending
at any rate ne is to ue ctminicnuC
for trying. When 3,000 men and 47
plants are standing idle at a time
when the utmost production is as im
peratively demanded as it is today,
such a problem becomes more than
local. It affects the whole state, and
is pre-eminently the business of the
state's officials.
It is greatly to be "regretted that
the governor has. behind him no ade
quate body of statute law. Never
theless, he is not powerless. He has
the power to concentrate public opin
ion as.no other man, than the gov
ernor of the state could. Even if
the differences appear to be irrecon
cilable, let the governor make a clear,
comprehensive statement of the case
as it appeals to his sense or justice
and the people, we think Nwill be
ready to accept his findings.
If the governor should render a
mistaken iudscment, even, he will still
be entitled to more credit than he
would nad ne never mvcu ... -
Such situations as that at High Point
amount to industrial warfare; in time
of war anybody is liable to make a
mistake, but the one unpardonable
crime is to do nothinf. The governor

OLD FASHIONED REVIVAL
REV. BERT CULPEPPER TO START
REVIVAL AT METHODIST
CHURCH.v
Bert Culpepper, the famous evange
list, will begin a revival meeting in
Wesley Memorial church September
18th. Mr. Culpeper was scheduled to
hold a revival n this church last fall
Lut the meeting had to be postponed
on account of the influenza epidemic.
The revivalist held a very great
and successful revival in Greensboro
last spring. The pastor of the Cen
tenary Methodist church of that city,
Rev. A. W. Plyler, in a letter to a
High Point minister, gives his opin
ion of Bert Culpepper.
The letter follows:
"Bert Culpepper is every inch a
gentleman a Christian gentleman of
the finest type. He is a preacher c
wonderful power. His preaching is
hot sensational in the ordinary, every
day use of the word, that fs, in the
employment of claptrap methods and
in the use of extravagant and foolish
speech in order to catch the crowd
with itching ears. But Bert Culpepper
possesses an individuality, and the
power to present the old gospel truths
in a way that draws the multitudes to
hear his messages and' his hearers are
profited thereby.
"I know of no man who without ex
travagant advertising and machine
method of campaigning in a commu
nity, neither of which Mr. Culpepper
cares to adopt, can for weeks gather
the thousands about him as this man
does to hear the great gospel messages
that he delivers with such fine effect.
"He did a great work in Greens
boro last spring and the best of it all
is that his work abides. Many came
into Centenary church and"they are
making good loyal' members of the
church.
"Greensboro believes in Bert Cul
peper and his work and the Greens
boro people will be in High Point by
the hundreds to greet him and to hear
him preach again. We hope to have
'-"i in Greensboro for one service at
least during hid stay in High Point."
