There was a near serious wreck

Bear Creek bridge on highway 60,
last Saturday night. A Nash car
from Greensboro was going toward
Sanford followed by a Ford from
Burlington was struck by Victor G.
Loyd, who was going toward Greens
boro. Loyd’s car first struck the
Nash cutting off his left front wheel,
breaking his spring, bending his axle
and knocking a hole in his door, caus
ing it to take the woods and causing
Loyd’s car to swerve to the left hit
ting the Ford from the side, knock
ing it agains the bank, breaking the
left front wheel, demolishing the
fenders and running board on left
side and bursting a part of the
engine. A lady was hurt in this
car and was first given first aid by
Dr. J. L. Johnson, of Bonlee and then
rushed to the Rainey Hospital,
Greensboro, though her injury is not
thought serious. Loyd’s car was dam
aged almost beyond the worth of re
pairing. He (Loyd) was adjudged
to be in fault and will pay for repair
of both cars.

Church Women Given
Chance at the Pulpit
The general assembly of the
Northern Persbyterian Church last
week voted to allow women the same
privileges as men to become elders
and ministers in the church. The res
olution requires approval of a ma
jority of the 214 presbyteries before
it is effective, but expressed senti
ment indicated that such approval
would be almost unanimous. The
northern church some years ago
opened the deaconate to women.
Further steps were taken at the
general assembly looking toward
union of all the branches of Presby- •
terianism, a scheme that will not be
consummated for some years al
though at this time seeming almost
sure to come.

MISS POWELL ENTERTAINS

striking detail.

SEABOARD RE-FINANCING
(From The Charlotte Observer.)
Seaboard stockholders will be in
terested in the re-financing proposi
tion, and they are advantaged by the
“tip” given out by President Powell
that the plan will be “very beneficial”
to the railroad, as the re-capitaliza
tion will result in “a marked strength
ening of the company’s financial con
dition,” because it is recognized as a
progressive step. President Powell
believes the plan will be accepted by
the stockholders “with enthusiasm.”
The brief explanation of the existing
problem facing the Seaboard is that
it revolves around debt maturities
to the amount of over $38,000,000,
falling due between 1929 and 1933.
The Seaboard people believe that by
substituting common stock for part
of its adjustment bonds, interest on
which was last paid in February,
1928, and extending its funded debt,
the present problem of maturities
can be solved. Charles S. McCain,
president of the National Park Bank,
is acting chairman of the adjustment
bondholders committee, which is urg
ing all holders to assent to the plan,
pointing out that they exchange se
curities with a market value of $490
for securities, partly with a fixed
instead of a contingent interest
charge, now worth $616.25. The Ob
server knows more about picking cot
ton than it does about handling rail
road stocks, but if it were a Sea
board Air Line coupon-clipper, it
would be inclined to pick up its hat
and follow Powell.
What the younger generation seems
