The local man, factory manager of Imperial Tobacco company here for 12 or 15 years, was known to many persons in this section und Kentucky. He had been employed with the company since 1907, and was one of the earliest volunteers in the World War officers' _ train ing camp. First he was a lieuten ant, and later he became a cap tain. A jury has been empannelled to determine the manner in which he came to his death, but their hear ing is incomplete, awaiting reports on possible fingerprints on the pis tol. Dr. J. G.' Raby, Edgecombe coroner, called the jury yesterday after Mr. Eastin was found early in the morning. Pallbearers will include J. R. Thornton, E. A. W. Woolard, J. E. Woolard, R. G. Ruffin, J. C.

SOME OF THE ITEMS NECESSARY FOR SAFETY Safety for motorists and pedes trian involves so many factors that there can be no precise formula for preventing accidents, traffic ex perts have learned. But there -ire some things whVh are generally agreed to be important safety mea sures and these are being suggest ed by the Ford dealer organization to the general public. One of the important factors in safety is the mechanical fitness of the car. This, the dealers advuo, can be virtually assured through observing the following rules: Brakes—Should always be kept properly adjusted. Tires—Good treads are positively necessary to wet or winter weather. Sound casings are always a vital need, especially on front wheels. Rear view mirror—Keep properly adjusted and both mirror and raar window clean. Headlights—Don't run with one light if you value your life. Aim them properly so you can see the road. Tail lights—These are even important for your protection. Check often and at the same time test the stop light. Windshield wipers—When you need it badly. Keep it in working condition. Steering gear—Take to nearest service station if there is any change in the feeling of the gear—tight ness, looseness, irregularity. Tight gasket—Exhaust gas leak age may be fatal. It is due to lea ky connections in exhaust manifold pipe or muffler. Check often in winter. Warning signals—Have your horn fixed just as soon as you find it does not work properly. inspection is one "safe ty step" in making your car me chanically safe. ! Patient—Have you been a dentist ; long? Dentist —No. I used to be a 3teel ' rivetpr hut I got too shaky to work on high buildings and bridges.

United States who normally plant a larger percentage of their farm do farmers of North Carolina will likely share to a greater extent in the proceeds of the new farm pro gram if North Carolina farmers do not act at once to comply with the new program. This is the opinion of E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist at State College, who says that North Carolina far mers may offset this seeming ad vantage of other sections by replac ing cash crops such as tobacco, cot ton and peanuts with soil improving crops. There is still some doubt in the mind of many farmers as to how to proceed to cooperate. The first thing to do, Floyd says, is to fill out a work sheet in which is listed the acreage of all crops grown on the farm in 1935, the acreage of each and other information aboujt the farm. The second step is to work with the community committee to determine the soil-depleting base on each farm. Then soil-conserving crops must be grown on a part of this soil-xlepleting base. Fourth, soil building practices must be fol lowed to earn the class 11 pay ments. As a fifth step, the farmer makej a formal application for payment for what he has done, and finally his farm is checked to determine whether the conditions for payment have been met. Floyd points out that only one payment will be made under the new program and this will include both soil-conserving and soil-building payments. This payment will be made as promptly as possible after conditions have been met by the farmer. Since May 31 has been set as the last date for county agents to receive work sheets, Floyd urges prompt action in taking this first step towards cooperation with the program. It's free and every Wendell Home maker is invited to attend the Gold Leaf Farmer's 1936 Cooking School and Kitchen Style Show at the i Gymnasium Thursday and Friduy. Farewell to Famous Windjammer Here Is the Htirzogin Cecllle, one of the last of the windjammers una a record breaker In the grain race from Australia to England, breaking up on the rocks near Salcombe, on the Devonshire coast.

Mr. Ricks suffered a cut on his forehead and on the back of his head as well as bruises on his arm and legs and lesser cuts. Mrs. Ricks' face was cut in at least two places, and she was bruised also, he, said. The car was covered by insurance. Mr. Risks indicated he was trav eling between 35 and 38 miles an hour when the truck forced him off the highway. Designs Unique Boat In New York Former Local Man Constructs Wrought-Iron, All-Welded Tug At Astoria A wrought-iiron, -allwelded tag boat understood to be the first of its kind today had been launched in Astoria, Long Island, N. Y., and a former Rocky Mount man was the designer and builder of this ship, a rivetless one. Mr. and Mrs. S. Sparling, who went to New York about five years ago, formerly lived here Mr. Spar ling is the one who designed the tug, to be used to pull ships in the Cape Cod canal, and the contract was obtained without competition and boat constructed without perform ance bond, it was disclosed. The ship is called the "Resolute,"' and it took five months and about SIOO,OOO to build it for a Provi dence steamship concern. It is 25 feet long, weighs 200 gross tons, and has a 24 foot beam. It is longitudinally framed of wrought iron and welded completely without a single rivet. No con ventional guards or fenders are found on the sides of the hull eith er. In their place the sheer strake is of three-quarter inch plate, af fording protection without objec tions. Mr. and Mrs. Sparling have one daughter, Mrs. J. G. Lancaster, Jr., who is still living here. The ship was launched May 20. EXPRESSIONS CHANGE ————— Lawrence, Kan.—Times change and so do popular expressions. Grandfather's romantic antics were referred to as "sparking," father's as "spooning," and big brother called it "petting." Students at the University of Kansas are sentimen tally "pitching the woo." Introduces Bill For N. G. Coins Washington, Juno 3.—Senator Robert R. Reynolds succeeded in having the committee on banking and currency report today to the Senate bill authorizing the coin age of 25,000 50-cent pieces in com memoration of the 3SOJh anniver sary of Sir Walter Raleigh's colony on Roanoke Island, N. C., known in history as the lost colony; and the birth of Virginia Dare, the first white child of English pa rentage to be born on the Ameri can continent. Senator Reynolds stated that he limped to be able to bring about the final passage of this bill during the present week or at least before uio adjournment of the present Con gress. The bill, which was introduced by. Representative Warren, has already passed the House. Ford Y* Features j 1 Dual Carburetors Nature's efficient plan of provid-1 ing important organs in pairs to: improve the operation of the human has a counterpart in the use of dual carburetors in Ford V -8 engines, according to Ford en gineers. Just as lungs are used in pairs to supply oxygen to the body, dual carburetion is employed on Ford V-8 engines to supply properly, mixud fuel to all cylinders. Both muscles and cylinders derive their energy i from the chemical reaction of three elements, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Both give off carbon dio xide, water and heat. The anal ogy between the two engin'es is further heightened by the discovery I announced recently that electrical ' impulses, long known to be asso ciatejl with mufcculai? are generated by proteins in the body. Motor car owners and truck op erators bent on operating with the least expenditure of time and mon ey are deeply interested in the mer its of dual carburetion as used oa Ford V-8 engines. The Ford V-8 carburetor is simple. It employs a single float mechanism, choke valve and accelerator pump, yet the cy linders farthest from it are as well supplied with fuel as the ones close by. Nature likewise takes care that no muscle is neglected as to fuel requirements no matter where it lies. Known as the "double venturi" type, the V-8 carburetor has two barrels, each of which feeds four cylinders through its own separate manifold, two cylinders in the cen ter of one bank and the two end ones in the other. No two cylinders firing in order are fed from the same carburetor barrel or from the same branch of the two intake manifolds. "Starving" of cylinders farthest from the carburetor is eli minated and the arrangement pro vides the V-8 with the fuel distri bution qualities of two four cylin der engines. Each barrel has a primary ven turi and a smaller secondary venturi concentric within the larger on°. Idling and low speed fuel is sup plied to the larger venturi, while main fuel and accelerator pump dis charge feeds into the high air ve locity of the smaller venturi. Another important feature is that air is combined with the fuel be fore it is discharged into the ven turi. The fuel is quickly and thor oughly atomized in the air, bring ing about uniform combustion in the cylinders with smooth engine op eration. o Lucky Man i Father—So you're finding that married life can be difficult?

PARAGRAPHS ON NATIONAL PROBLEMS AT WASHINGTON Bradshaw Heard At Central High Duke University Professor Discuss es Unnecessary Things Vital For Living Dr. Robert W. Bradshaw, exe cutive secretary of the School of Religion of Duke University, de livered the baccalaureate sermon to 151 pros|>eetive graduates of the Rocky Mount high school last even ing. The seniors, with their rela tives and friends, assembled in the high school auditorium to hear Dr. Bradshaw's address. R. M. Wilson, superintendent of the local schools, presided over this initial exercise, the first in a se ries of events which will conclude with the final commencement ad dress, and the presentation of di plomas on Friday evening at eight o'clock. While the high school band, un der the direction of Vernon Hooker, played Edjar's processional, "Pomp and Circumstance," the combined faculties of all the city schools filed into the auditorium, followed by the graduates, in their traditional caps and gowns. Dr. J. W. Kincheloe, pastor of the First Baptist church, asked the invocation, after which the congre gation sang "Now The Day Is Ov er." At the conclusion of the hymn, Dr. J. M. Culbreth, presiding ei der of the Methodist church, led the devotional, taking for his text vers es from the 28th chapter of Gene sis. With Harold T. Perry directing the high school glee club then san* Rasbach's "Trees," and followed this selection with "Ave Maria," by Jacob Arcadell. Mr. Wilson presented the gue3i speaker, Dr. Bradshaw to the au dience. Dr. Bradshaw opened his address with a bit of pardonable re miniscence, when he recalled tho commencement sermon lie himseif list ned to some years ago when he was a graduate, and hoped that he would give the students assem bled before him cause to remem [ l>er this beceaJaureate as well as he fMfleitnhfKfitl ,I'L? own. Quoting n.i old adage, "The part of the rJi'jU'- TTeT "flint keeps you w'ariif is the j part that hangs over the bed." Or. Bradshaw took for parallel the un necessary things that go to make life pleasanter and easier for every, man. A good name, a kindly heart, and faith in God are not necessary io one's physical veil beting. Ono does not die without them, accord ing to Dr. Bradshaw, but they are the "extras," the "unnecessary things" that go to make day to day living a thing of grace and be auty for every man, if he will but carry with him these things. Coun seling the students to carry with them these "additional attributes and concepts," these "things that pay no dividends in money or fame I but yield infinitely greater returns in happiness and good fellowship and spiritual growth," Dr. Brad shaw brought his sermon to a close. The assembled students and their guests then arose and sang "Soft ly Now The Light of Day," and Dr. Kincheloe pronounced the benedic tion. The seniors then filed from their places, and out of the auditorium while the audience stood at atten tion, and the high school band, again played the Recessional. WORK OF POET LOST IN FIRE Fort Myers," Fla., May 4.—lnfor mation was brought here today that Edna St. Vincent Millay, Po et, lost unpublished manuscripts and all her personal belongings in a fire which destroyed the Palms Hotel on Sanibel Island, off the Florida Coast, 4 miles south of Fort Myers, Saturday night.

As expressed by Francis B. Sayro Assistant Secretary of State, a farm population of 3,200,000 people is sup ported by agricultural exports, and in the industrial field conservative ! calculations estimate that 7,500,000 i workers are dependent upon export sales. Based on figures for the fis cal year 1929, the loss in Ameri can foreigu sales duriug the years 1934 and 1935 aggregated more than . six aud one-halt' billion dollars, of a billion dollars more than the amounts expended by the Govern • ment during the two years to take I care of rur unemployed. The other side of the picture is unphasized in the familiar declara tion that "to sell, we must buy.'' Among the things that the United ; States imports from abroad are .'.of fee, crude rubber, raw silk, book 1 pulp, spices, tin minerals, etc. The nations which buy from us must pay for their purchases either in goods, services, or gold. As most readers know, the United States has already acquired a vast hoard of gold. Besides, the gold stocks of foreign pay no credit from abroad," is 'able to handle its own insurfrtHe, and along with other nations, is subsidizing ships to build up its own merchant marines. Obviously, this leaves oth er*nations unable to buy our goods in quantity unless they are permit' ted to sell their products in this country. Contrary to the popular impres sion that imports decrease employ ment in this country, the statistics of the Federal Reserve from the years 1919-1935 show that during ev ery year in which imports increased factory employment also increased. With a single exception, the figures also reveal that during each year in which imports decreased, factory employment also decreasel. Natural ly. when importers bring into this country goods from other countries, they start a chain of operations which includes transportation, ser vicing, processing, manufacturing, and distribution. Last week in this column, we dis cussed the effect of Secretary Hulls' fourteen reciprocal trade treaties in relation to world trade. Since that time, the President has increased tariff rates on bleached, printed, dyed, and colored cotton cloths, an average of 42 per cent, following the collapse of negotiations with Japan, seeking to secure some re strictions of Japanese shipments of these goods to the United States. The increase affected about "58 per cent, on the square yard basis, of the total cotton cloths imported ia 1935, and about 90 per cent of suck imports from Japan. This action was hardly in accord with Secretary Hull's program but the President felt that he had to meet a special situation. In this connection, it is pointed out that Japanese shipments to this country during the first quarter of this year increased nearly 70 per cent over those of a year ago. While this seems to be a large gain, the Tar iff Commission points out that it 1935 our imports of cotton cloths from all sources were less than 1 per eent of our domestic production. Critics of the President's action point out that Japan in 1935 sold us $153,000,000 worth of goods and bought from 'us $203,000,000 worth. (Please turn to page four)
