Ten of the 20 hoboes pulled from
a freight train at Norlina on Tuesday
are now in the Warren County
Prison Camp serving a 30-day
road sentence. The other men, it
was said, were able to pay a fine
or satisfy the court. It is understood
here that some of the boys
were "beating" their way nome
from C. C. C. Camps which had

The hoboes were arrested by
special agents of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway, who were assisted by
Chief Will Carter. They were tried
before Mayor A. L. Fleming of Norlina.
The frequent arrest of hobes at
Norlina comes as a result of a
number of robberies which have
occurred to freight cars, it was said.

New Bern, March 31.?Mrs. Peter
Arrington of Warrenton has do- t:
nated $2,000 for the purpose of re- h

of the Lee family in Virginia, it has 1 j
been announced by Mrs. Edwin C. r
Gregory of Salisbury and Washing- ; ^
ton, state director for the Robert |
E. Lee Memorial Foundation in <j
North Carolina. r
With much other work under way t
at Stratford, as funds are provided r
from various sources, the Great Hall r
has been so far neglected in resto- t
ration work, but now, through Mrs.
Arrington's generosity, this impor- L"
tant work will be started at an early t
date as one of the most interesting v
phases of the restoration. 1
This gift from the North Caro- r
linian is in memory of her mother, v
who highly revered Robert E. Lee 1
and organized the United Daughters t
of the Confederacy in Warren \
county, being chapter president for c
'many years. The mother was a de- e
scendant of Lawrence Washington, r
of Sulgrave. The Lees and Washingtons
were connected through the j
Custis family.

niece is also a direct descendant of \
