Epidemic Of Measles
Subsiding In Section
?" I
The epidemic of measles that swept
RobersonviJIe, Cross Roads, Poplar
Point and a few scattered sections in
this county is fast subsiding, a recent
report from the county health officer
states. Approximately 300 cases were
reported during May and June. 5o
far this month only 17 cases have
been reported, it was learned.
It is believed that a large number
of measles cases were never reported,
and that a few cases developed into
pneumonia and resulted in one or two
and probably more deaths in the
county. ~

FIRST WEEK OF
COUNTY SURVEY
IS SUCCESSFUL
Many Fields Reported In
Excess of the Seventy
Percent Allotment
Tht survey of tobacco acreage is
progressing rapidly as the work draws
j to a close for the first week in this
county.
Unofficial reports indicate that
there are many fields in excess of the
70 per cent allotment, but only a
comparatively few in excess of the 80
per cent allotment. Several farmers
ire" said "to ?hare?alieady UeMiuyed
their excess acreage without waiting
for instructions from the county com
mittee. and one farmer, finding his
acreage in excess before the Survey
ors reached there, went ahead and de
stroyed an acre and one-half - of his
tobacco crop. As far as it could be
learned the farmers, realizing that
everyone is being fed from the same
spoon, so to speak, are cooperating
with the work splendidly with little
complaint registered.
Individual reports from a number
of farmers indicate that the new crop I
of surveyors handling the work are_
doing a good job, and the farmers
are assisting them in every way pos- '
sible.
About one-fifth of the survey has '
been completed, unofficial reports in
dicated today. I

YOUNG WOMAN
FLEECES FOLKS |
IN WILLIAMSTON;
Sheriff Roebuck Picks Up
Swindler While In
Act
?
Several Williamson citizens fell
innocent victim* to a pitiful hut Jin
founded plea advanced by a young j
woman Tuesday, hut all the money
was recovered wccs.nwm^ttug,
people by Sheriff C. B. Rorburk be
fore all of them knew they lia.l been
fleered. ?? ??
A woman, claiming to he a Mrs.
Pegram, ?f Raleigh, entered the town
that morning and began picking her
victims with care. Going first to
Senatorial Nominee Robt. L. Coburn,
she explained that her auTomobtte j
had broken down and was in a Kob
ei sonville shop for repairs, that she
needed $12.50 to pay the bill. She
added tint she was a cousin of ?er
tie's grand old man, Judge hranr.s
n v'j-.o.n and -tka-t w.odd re
pay the lo?n immediately with money
she was going to get from him.
The cunning visitor inquired for
the president of the Kiwanis club and
Mr. Coburn directed her to J. C.
Manning, a past president. She call-j
ed oil him, but he politely excused,
himself on the grounds that he had
no money.
From that office, the woman called
~6n C. D. Carsiarphcm hanker, and
made a ten-dollar talk in less than
that many minutes.
She then went to sec Bill Peel, the
town's ladysman and insurance rep
rescntative. She sued up Mr. 1 eel
to perfection, and increased that ear
bill from $1250 to $40. During the
meantime. Attorney Coburn Uwian-ta
liunk more seriously about the loan
|he had advanced, and called James
Manning to learn more about the |
woman's story. Learning thai the
woman had nvadc_jhe_j^me_gfc^JoJ
I the former Kiwanis Club president,
Mr. Coburn called Sheriff C. B- Roc
buck and a search for her was Marled
The trail led almost directly to Bill
' Peel's office. Noted for his liberality
land recognized as one ready to offer
'another aid, Mr. Peel was JIUtt sigtj
'ing a $40 che.'k when tne offiicf
rived Upon Sheriff Roebucks t*i
quiry, Mm. Pegram admmnt TirttmK
$12.50 from u, Coburn and $10
from Mr. Carstarptien. and she hand
ed the money overjojhe^fi^t-?
When the sheriff asked Mr. Car
starphen how much the woman had
lifted off him, he said "$5.00, not
knowing that the money had been re-1
covered. He did not want it to ap j
pear that he had been an easy mark, ,
but When the sheriff said that he had j
|$10 for him, Mr. Carstarphen admit-,
I ted he was the rightful owner of that
! amount.
1 It was later learned that the wo
man had a companion, a man who re
gained on a side street out of the,
picture while the fleecing work was]
in progress. They were driving a
large green car. j
Apparently pleased by the recov
ery of their money, none of the vie- j
tims preferred charges against the,
woman, and no arrest was made_
Due to Mr. Coburn's serious think-j
ing. no doubt, many other Williams
ton citizens escaped unscathed. |

gram of rural electrification with

NEGRO SHOT IN 1
QUARREL NEAR !
HICKORY GROVE
Will Worley Reported In
Serious Condition At
Hospital Today
Will Worley, colored, was danger
ously shot last Tuesday night by Joe |
Wheeler Janies. also colored, at the
hqme of Arnecia Brown in the I
Hickory Grove section of this town
ship. James fired a load of gun shot
into- Worhy's left thigh at close |
range, the shot and shell wadding en- \
tering deep into 'the man's limb. It
is believed the man will lose the
l(ml>, but definite reports have not
been received here from a Washing-!
ton hospital, where he was carried
Wednesday afternoon _J
James, Considered a dangerous
character and a common figure in
the courts of this county during the
Past several years, . made his escape
thinking that he had killed Worley
Sheriff?1\ B.?RuebudcTairested him
early yesterday morning in the Free
Union section of Janicsville Town
ship where James was shaping plans
to leave this county. He told ac
i:
? quain(pnces there that lie had fired a
load of shot into Worlcy's head and
i killed him. After spending Wednes
day night in a tobacco Imiu, James
wandered out and to the Cordon
shop, and was nodding when the
' sheriff slipped up and grabbed him.
I According to reportsWnrlrv ami
James had quarreled and fought
Cpf? Araecta Browiyunmamcd inoth
er of several children. Jatffes left
with a man named Rogers, and Wor
ley went to bed with two of the
children. About thirty minutes later
James returned with a gun. After
shooting the lock oft the front tiuoc,
he entered the room where Worley j
was sleeping with a child on either
side of him. James misfigurcd in j
the dark -room and instead of plac-1
ing the muzzle of the gun at Wor
lcy's head, placed it on the thigh and
fired. Neither of the two children
was hit.
Upon leaving the scene, James told
the Brown woman that lie had put
one mean negro out <?f the way.
A preliminary hearing in the case
will not be scheduled until tlutre~~fr~
a change in Worley's condition. James
continues in the county jail.
I Both men have comparatively
.long jail records, /Worley having
I l>ccn?graduated?from?t-Ue?state?road
camp, near hire, only a few week*
ago. James, originally from the
lower part of the county, has been
. hanging around in this section since
his release from the prison camp
about three months ago. Worley
has gained quite a reputation as a
meat and chicken thief.
I Reports from the hospital this
morning stated that Worley was run
ning a?high?fever and that?Ins cun
dition was considered critical.
Chevrolet Dealers Sell
35,000 Radios in 90 Days
Detroit, July 12.?Chevrolet dealer#
have sold 35,000 automobile radios to
purchasers of new Chevrolet cars in
the last 90 days, M. D. Douglas, parts
and service manager of the Chevro
let Motor Company, announced here
today. The report covers only the
sets installed in new 1934 Chevrolets.
It does not include the additional
thousands purchased from Chevrolet
dealers by owners of other cars or of
earlier Chevrolet#.
While the accomplishment is im
portant in itself, as setting an all
time record for radio sales by Chev
rolet dealers, Chevrolet officials are
especially interested in it as an index
of the public's increased buying pow
er. It signifies that many automo
bile buyers instead of contenting
themselves with the car itself, have
enough money over and above its
purchase pricf to indulge their desire
for additional comfort, luxury and
enjoyment.
CITIZENS AFTER
! SHORTENING OF
! RALEIGH ROUTE
Prepare Petitions To Carry
Before Commission In
Raleigh Soon
?
Interested citizens from this and
nearby towns in a meeting here last
Wednesday afternoon passed a reso
lution by unanimous vote endorsing
the shortening of the route from this
section to Raleigh by hardsuriacing
a road from Conetoe via Old Sparta j
to Pinetops. The proposed route <
would lessen the distance from here
?Raleigh?by about?ten?miles a '
fraction over, it is understood. The
new routing will effect a decrease in
heavy traffic on U. S. f>4 to a great
extent, it is believed.
During favorable weather and
when dirt roads are in fairly good
repair some traffic uses the route '
from Conetoe via Old Sparta- to I
Pinetops. However, the use of the 1
route is very limited 011 account of
the road condition.
It is understood that petitions will
be presented the State Highway and
Public Works Commission asking
that the read I' unproved, a- v.?mi
possible, and it is believed that fav- ;
orable action will follow.
Among those from out of town at
tending the meeting were Messrs. B.J
?. Eagles, Sr., T. K. Brown, George I
Stronoch, Lester Rose, J. B. Cobb,'
\V. L. Dunn and B. A. Stedman.
It could not be learned definitely I
today, but it is understood that other
centers, equally anxious for a shorter j
route to the state capital, will pre
pare resolutions urging the commis
sion to favorably consider the pro
ject.
