PECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, JULY, 20, 1922

THE PRISONER ALSO KNEW THE BIBLE —— (Valted Pre Service.) Kingston, N. C., July 20-When Judge Oliver H. Allen, of this city, quoted scripture to Henry Harris, a negro wlfoelayer, as he sentenced him to die, the prisoner at the bar countered with a whole chapter from the Bible. Judge Allen, veteran, superior court jurist, is probably the champion Bible student in North Carolina. He sought to console Harris with passages from the scriptures after he had passed sentence. The prisoner asked permission of the court to say something himself. He recited the third chapter of the Lamentations of Jermiah. It dealt with the mourning of the aged prophet against the Injustice he had been subjected to. The inference was that Harris believed his position was similar. A member of the bar arose to state to the court that the occasion had never been paralleled in the old court

HAVE TROUBLE GRANTING PLUM (Continued from page one) trons of the office want Mrs. Mary H Mills to have the job, and yesterday after the visit of Messers Cartwright and Vestal the Spanish-American soldier boys got busy for Mrs. Mills. Her husband was a Spanish-American soldier and her father, C. H. Carnes, was a civil war veteran. Mrs. Mills has many friends who wish her to have the office, feeling that the civil service rules are to be violated anyway, inasmuch as no one thinks either of the democrats will be appointed. This committee of S. A. veterans followed Vestal and Cartwright to Bluffton, last evening and laid their plans before them. To add to their 'campaign for Mrs. Mills a petition is to be circulated demanding that Spen cer be not appointed and that the job be given to Mrs. Mills. It is said nine ty per cent of the patrons of the [office are against Spencer."

HIGH PRICES BEING ASKED FOR COAL NOW (Continued from page one) the light and water plant. To the average person it is difficult to see where the several hundred per cent increase comes in and why the operators are allowed to usk such an extortionate price for coal in face of Secretary Hoover’s fixed price. May Curtail Lights With only a 30 days supply of coal on hand at the municipal plant, the councilmen and Superintendent Mylott are of the opinion that it will be necessary after fair week to curtail on the street lights. This will have to be done unless the strike should break within the next week or two and coal can be purchased at a reasonable figure. It may be necessary to cut off a number of the street lights at eleven o'clock, one of the city officials stated last evening.
