a whale didn't feel so well,

Bandits $50,000
GREENVILLE, S. C., March 8.?
A messenger and a guard of the
South Carolina National Bank
were held up and robbed of $50,000
on downtown business corner here
today.
The men, Clinton Foster, negro
messenger, and Hugh White, bookkeeper
who was acting as guard,
were enroute from the postoffice
to the bank with the money shipment
when two men in a light,
last car forced them to the curb.
..One of the bandits, short and
stocky and wearing dark glasses,
got out of the bandit car, and,
with a pistol, forced the bank employes
to hand over the package.
Bank officials announced the loss!
was fully covered both by its policies
and those of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond, which
shipped the money.
A number of persons witnessed
the hold-up, which occurred at
Broad and Laurel streets almost
within sight of the Greenville
county jail, but it was over almost
before they realized it was under
way.
White leaped from his machine
after the robbers sped away and
ran to the bank, while the negro
messenger notified police, who ?
gave quick chase. The bandits, how- i
ever, apparently escaped from the ]
city by a circuitous route and no \
trace of them had been found an <
hour later by the small army of
officers which went to work on the <
case immediately.
The forces of Sheriff B. B. Smith
and Police Chief Ernest Smith 1
were being aided by postal inspec- :
tors. :
Witnesses said both of the ban- J
dits wore dark glasses. The auto- I
mobile carried a North Carolina i
license tag. 1
Sympathy is one of the finest o* 1
human instincts, yet if it is unin- \
telligently directed and controlled i
it can easily lead to corrupting gen- 1
erosity. <

Legal Liquor For j
Virginia Assured
By March 21
RICHMOND, VA., March 7.?At
he stroke of midnight on March
!1 the curtain falls on the prohibiion
era of Virginia, to rise next
lay on the new experiment in
iquor control.
"The oasis will be reached in 15
lays," Governor George C. Perry
aid as he signed the liquor conrol
bill shortly after 3 p. m.
"This is not a mirage," he added,
aughing-.
The chief executive used three
ountain pens in placing his signaure
on the bill, which gives the
ommonwealth a monopoly on the
ale of distilled liquors. He then
resented the pens to Senator John
V. Eggleston, of Norfolk, chairman
if the commission which recom-1
nended the dispensary system, and
o A. P. Staples, of Roanoke, and
Vilbur C. Hall, of Leesburg, Senaor
and House patrons of the bill. I
Governor Peery would not say
rhen he would name the members
if the three-member liquor control
icard which will be cloaked with
road and sweeping powers to carry
ut and administer the act, which
ecomes effective in 15 days. Sponors
of the dispensary plan have
greed that its success depends up n
the personnel of the control
oard.
If the control board has time to
jrepare, the first legal liquor since
November 1, 1916, for beverage pur>oses
will be sold in the Old Doninion
on March 22. Under the law
vhich went into efect almost 18
rears ago the state prohibited sale
ind manufacture, but allowed a citzen
to have a quart a month ship>ed
in from wet territory. Complete
>rohibition was not reached in
/Irginia, therefore, until under the
var-time act of Congress. The
iresent layman act, or state prolibition
law, which was repealed in
he bill signed today, dated from
924.
Under the new plan of liquor
:ontrol, the sale of distilled liquors
vill be confined to state stores,
vhich will sell liquor in quantities
>f not more than a gallon at the
ime, in sealed packages and for
consumption off the premises. The
iquor control board may, but is not
equired to, manufacture liquor for
iale through such stores.
Hotels and restaurants may serve
)der and wine by the drink or glass.
Dther establishments may obtain
lermits to sell beer fly the glass,
>ut .the same establishment may
lot sell beer for on-premises and
iff-premises consumption. Private
icenses may also sell wine for offiremises
consumption.
The board of control can fix prices
>n liquor. The buyer of illegal liquor
s made equally guilty with the
seller.
Meanwhile, a battle of Governor
3eery's million dollar tax program
'or schools was forecast in the
Senate tomorrow.

Plan To Make
Change Road Laws
RALEIGH, March 8?Anticipating
the automotive legislation will
occupy a prominent spot in the deliberations
of the 1935 legislature,
and in view of the approaching time
for the selection of members of the
general assembly, the Carolina
Motor Club has launched intensive
investigations into traffic laws and
regulations of North Carolina.
Coleman W. Roberts, president of
the club; is directing the activities
land several "State committees" are
already at work on exhaustive
studies while local committees in
each county are planned to carry
the battle for betterment of automobile
legislation into every part of
the state.
Looking to possible enactment of
a State wide driveres license law, a
sub-committee headed by Senator
John Aiken of Catawba is now engaged
in gathering data and will
soon have a tentative bill ready
which would provide for licensing
drivers without charging a fee.
The proposed licensing law would
eliminate local drivers' license laws
now in force in many municipalities
and would make it mandatory
that licenses be revoked where the
party is convicted for driving drunk,
operating a car recklessly or carelessly,
or for "hit and run" driving.
Recently the State groups on taxation
and diversion, road construction
and conditions, and automobile
insurance held meetings here.
It was the consensus of the group
of taxation that no motor vehicle
revenues should be used for other
purposes of state government than
highways and that further study
should be made before recommendation
as to cuts in automobile license
rates were made.
The insurance group were on record
as unanimously favoring a drivers'
license law as well as elimination
of the insurance liabiiity for
guests.
Joseph P. Rawley of Hight Point
E. C. Brooks Jr. of Durham and
Senator John Hinsdale of Raleigh
head the three groups which me?t
here.
Other important state groups now
at work on plans are the committee
on safety, headed by Senator
Allen Gwyn of Reidsville, and the
cnmmittpp nn hiahwav beautifica
tion, headed by Struthers Burt of
Southern Pines.
Albert Coates of Chapel Hill( director
of the institute of government,
is chairman of a committee
which is seeking to establish uniform
traffic laws throughout the
state.

Fraulein Erika Patzek, 22-year-old
daughter of a Berlin industrialist.
In taking his commoner bride at
a registry office in the heart of
busy London, the 26-year-old prir.ce
?like Lennart, -his cousin?abandoned
his princely rights for a romantic
union with the girl of his
dreams.
Instead of a carillon of belles
pealing for their wedding in the
ancient capital of the prince's royal
forefathers, Sigvard and his bride
had chattering song birds in a little
park outside and a sea of sn tiling
faces ti a sympathetic throng
to welcome them on their weddine
day.
Obviously happy, the two were
wed by the "marrying" supe-intendent
of the registry office, aided by
the assistant registrar.
The ceremony was of only a few
minutes' duration.
Both smiled nervously as they
drove up to the registry office in a
big limousine for the ceremony.
Drunken Man Dances
On His Wife's Grave
GALATZ, Rumania?Paraschiv
Stan, a hard-boiled Rumanian
farmer, found the death of his wife
a matter of such wild rejoicing that
he went every night for a whole
week to the cemetery and danced
till dawn on her fresh grave to the
fiery tunes of a gypsy band which
he hired for this special purpose.
He refused to allow the priest to
perform the burial service, stood
drinks for all the rough-necks of
the district, maltreated his children
and burnt all his wife's belongings.
The city council hauled him into
court for sacrilege and immorality.
Six months, said the judge.
