NEAR MURDER IN
ROBERSONVILLE
•
George Wright Shoots Joe
Eborn; Wounded Man
Expected to Recover
Robersonville, N. C., February 23.
—A near murder was reported here
last Saturday morning about 3 o'clock
, when George Wright, colored, fired
a shot from a big army pistol into the
body of one Joe Eborn, also colored.
The ball, striking about the center of
Eborn's (Treast, glanced and passed on
through his- side and lodged in his
arm. He is expected to recover.
The shooting came as the climax
to a feud existing between the twoj
men for some time, and was surround
ed by liquor and a woman, according
to the old, old story. The two men, 1
several days before, had engaged in a
fist fight, but it amounted to little at
that time. Last Saturday morning
the two men, bjjth married, were en-'
tertaimng the wife of another colored
brother of the Mystic Knights of Sin
at a liquor party tit the home' of
Wright. As the spirits began to bear
down more and more upon the jealous
brains of the beastly men, the argu-j
* nient was started all over again, lead
ing to the shootihg.
Wright was arrested by Officer J.
W. Griffin and is scheduled for.a hear-
ing before Mayor Hurst Wednesday
Eborn is able to be out. j1
About three years ago Wrights kill
ed James Salsbury, colored, by split
tiiiK his head open with an axe.' He'
pleaded self-defense and was acquit- |
ted. It is generally believed that lie
"j. will enter a similar plea again, since ,
trouble occurred in his home. He | ,
is' rated the better ot the wo- j
man who was a party to the shooting, J
and that will prirtiably give the defense |
two .witnesses against the ene-for the |
State Vet it is understood that !
Wright had made, frequent threats a
gainst the life of Eborn, stating 1 that
lie would kill liim it it took" him seven , (
years to do it. L

FARMING TO BE
OF MUCH AID TO
POOR OF STATE
Program Will Not Add To
Surplus of Cash Crops,
Says Dean Schaub
Raleigh, Feb. 22.—The .proposed
state-wide program of farming for
destitute families promises to prove
of much practical benefit to both thf
worker and farm owners, in the o
pinion of the Governor's Office of Re
lief and State College agricultural ex
tension leaders, joinlrspotisors of the
| plan. /
It was pointed out here today by
Dean I. O. Schaub of State College
that the program will in no way add
ff"'tKe already over-crowded supply
of cash crops, thus allaying tears held j
by some farmers that tobacco and cot
ton would be forced to even lower
price levels.
Dr. Fred W. Morrison, director of
relief, emphasized that his organiza-j
tiou will in no way assist any farmer
or. tenant farmer to raise a cash crop. I
The only objective is to enable themj
to produce food for their own con-,
sumption and feedstuffs for their live |
stock. "The plan can not possibly
cause any further over-production of j
i ash crops fur the simple reason that
destitute families who must rely upon
relief funds will not be assisted tO|
grow cash crops," Dr. Morrison said.
ll was pointed out by Dean Schaub
that the landlord stands to profit ma
terially as a result of llie plan because j
of the fact that he may receive
labor from tenants in exchange
for lending the tenant the use of
horse power and farming implements.
It was also made clear that if the pro- '
gram enables-the tenant to become
permanently- self supporting, the land
lord stands to profit in the long run
because of the fact that tin- Federal ,
government will not contihue indefi
nitely. to produce food for people liv
ing oil, the land. I'liles* imp pit liv-J
ing on the land therefore become self
siistainiug iir so far as food is con
cerned, the landlords will be cotnpell
ed to shoulder this burden.
'I here !-• evidence I lii "lit;hout tlie j t
State that tin new program is being .
welcomed by both laborers and land- j
>w net's: • Keports from county relief' t

#
Gets Maximum Sentence on
Four Counts; Wounded
Improving
Miami, Fla., Feb. ?(). —As scornful
of the law as when he tried with fa
natical zeal to assassinate Poesident-
J elect Franklin 1). Rnosevelt last Wed
nesday night (itiiseppe Zangara today
| pleaded guilty to four counts of at
tempted murder and was sentenced to
i 80 years.
Zangara is 33 years old. His sen
i tences of M years in each case, run
, ning consecutively, constitute life
, imprisonment at Raiford state prison
ior hard labor in the Florida road

| However, should Mayor Anton Cer
mak, of Chicago, or Mrs. Joe Gill,
prominent Miami society woman, die
•of .the wounds, they received when
spectators deflected Zangara's aim at
Mr. Roosevelt, the state will seek a
first degree murder indictment and
the death penalty.
According to last reports coming i
from the bedside of the mounded, Mr.
Cermak and Mrs. Gill are improving
rapidly and ar; expected to fully re
cover.

IN 4 WEEKS
Mrs. Mae West, of St. Louis, Mo.,
writes: "I'm only 28 yrs. old and
weighed 170 lbs. until taking one box
of your Kruschen Salts just 4 weeks
ago. I now weigh 150 lbs. I also
have more energy and furthermore
I've never had a hungry moment."
Fat folks should take one-half tea
spooaful of Kruschen Salts in aglass
of hot water in the morning before

way to reduce as tens of thousands of
men and women know. *
For your health's sake ask for and

but a trifle and if after the first bottle
you are not joyfully satisfied with re
