SELECTION OF STRIKE DEATH JURY IS RUSHED m Five Qualify on Third Day of Hearing: Answers Amuse Throng, By United Press CHARLOTTE. N. C., Aug. 29. With two youthful farmers and a middle-aged steel worker in the jury box, attempts to obtain a jury to try sixteen textile strikers on murder charges went into its third day here today. There remained 132 of the 200 special venire to be examined. Neither prosecution nor defense looked forward to the selection of a. jury from this number. Council for the defense asked the court, to summon another new special venire of 300 and the court ordered it when the trial was resumed today. C. W. Martin, a carpenter, the second man to be examined, was accepted for the jury. He was the fourth juror selected. J. G. Campbell, newspaper vender, was t.he fifth juror accepted. He kept the court and spectators smiling by his answers to defense questions. Believes in Law and God “Yc-u believe in law? - ’ he was asked. “Yes. in nothing but law and God,” Campbell replied. He said he was not married and when a defense attorney remarked “that's fortunate,” Campbell said “I think so too.” A tew moments later Campbell was accepted. Selection of two men in half an hour followed the same course as yesterday, and gave hopes that a jury might be obtained before the week-end. Questions asked prospective jurors reveal a firm prejudice against the strikers. The defense is dismissing any venireman who announces he has reacehd an opinion that some of the strikers are responsible for the murder of Police Chief Aderholt of Gastonia, for which crime they are being tried. Mostly Mountain Folk Many of the special veniremen are composed of country folk and mountaineers whose ancestors were of the first discoverers and settlers in America. They appear in court in rough, cheap clothing, their faces bronzed and wrinkled by the hot sun and toil. They answer questions timidly, and appear releived when dismissed by the court for cause or by the state or defense.

George L. Lucas, 73, of 106 North Belmont avenue, possesses proof the girls of over a century ago were sometimes seized with a “modem” idea and tried to emulate their brothers. He treasures a horseshoe made by his grandmother, wh as a young girl in her father's blacksmith shop, furned out the one pictured here. It is carved with the date—lß24, when Susanna Meyers of Mt. Jackson, Virginia, worked beside her two brothers one summer’s day. and gleefully turned out the shoe “just as good as a man can make.”

ONLY 3 APPLY FOR PERMITS TO MAKE WHISKY Little Interest Shown by Distiller in Medical Alcohol Plans, By United Press WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-Since the treasury announced more than a month ago its intention of authorizing resumption of medicinal whisky manufacture, only three distillers have applied for permits to engage in production of the 2.000,000 gallons of rye and bourbon needed, it was learned today. While it was expected applications would be received at a more rapid rate, Assistant Treasury Secretary Sej'mour Lowman said today he entertains no fears the treasury will have difficulty in obtaining sufficient distilleries to manufacture the whisky required to replenish the nation's medicinal chests. The treasury plans to authorize manufacture by only six distillers which have adequate warehousing facilities to store the liquor in order to avgid dangers of leaks in transit and to simplify the task of safeguarding the supply from theft. Names of the six distillers selected will be announced after a survey by Doran and actual manufacture is expected to begin by Jan. 1, 1930. Whisky has not been manufactured legally in this country since the prohibition amendment became effective ten years ago. ”
