Mr. Stalings stated by way of explanation, J As the resignation of Mr. Stallings as not yet been made known to ie board of county commissioners, 0 one has been picked to succeed im.

Whether there be one of a dozen efendants in court, whiskey seems o be the underlying cause that rings men and women, boys and iris, into the temple of justice.

This week violaion of the Turlington Act was the harge which ensnared two men m j he meshes of the law. t William Richardson and Charlie g Villiams, negroes, were each found e uilty of manufacturing whiskey for \ he purpose of sale and were sen- ? fenced to jail, assigned to work the s~ oads under the supervision of tne itate Highway and Public Works Jommission, for a period of eight aonths.

Carelessness or mischief on the F tart of some boy or girl is credited rtth being responsible for the boiler xploiding shortly after the janitor aade a fire at the school on ifonday. A switch which auto- -? pj| natically keeps the boiler supplied rith water was pulled by some one, nd when the janitor, after makng his fire and discovering that his ' auge showed the lack of water, 11 urned water into the hot boiler the m xplosion occurred.

J Tar Heels In Line For Committee Posts Washington, Nov. 14.?Several members ol North Carolina's delegation in the 1935 House ol Representatives will find themselves j&. - C'-~ "'iJj positions .Xor ,e$c$llent committee appointments because ol the turnovers in the November elections. Representative John H. Kerr of North Carolina's second district, is in line for promotion to the chairmanship of the census bureau, while Representative William Umstead of the sixth, may find himself chairman of elections No. 2. Kerr was chairman of electio:ns No. 3 in the last Congress. Others of the delegation will move up in rank, while Representative Doughton of the ninth, and Representative Lindsay C. Warren of the first, are expected to remain in important chairmanships they now hold?Doughton of the powerful ways and means committee and Warren of accounts. Kerr was seen as prospective chairman of the census committee because of the defeat of Representative Ralph P. Lozier of Missouri and the belief that Representative John E. Rankin of Mississippi, the next ranking member, will choose to remain at the helm of the veterans committee. If Kerr does not take the post, preferring to remain as chairman of elections No. 3, the census post probably will go to Representative William H. Larrabee of Indiana, the next ranking member. Business Improving, Says Roger Babson Boston, Mass., Nov. 13.?Roger W. Babson, statistical expert, suggested today that President Roosevelt's present administration should be followed by a coalition government, j "The Democrats are right when insisting on more equal opportuni! ties and on favoring the plain peo1 pie at the expense of the privileged jfew," he said in an address, preI pared for delivery before the Advertising club of Boston. "The Republicans, however, are equally right in appealing for more ! rugged individualism and insisting upon rewards and punishments. The truth lies with a combination of both Republicans and Democrats. "Hence, my answer to the ques- ; jtion of 'whither* is that this country should be governed, beginning in 1937, with a coalition administration." Commenting on financial recovery, he said, "the main fly in the ointment is the universal lack of confidence due to the huge relief expenditures and the political and (Continued on Page 8) ?????????? mil Mr. Graham Boyd of Farmville spent the week end here.
