Wilson and Company, local deal ers in farm supplies, of approxi mately $605.61 in cash and checks amounting to $477.27 ,and that a bold plot to rob the safe of Steph enson Motor Company, Chevrolet dealers, had been abandoned. Gaining entrance into the James E. Wilson and Company store by breaking the lock on the front door, the yeggmen shattered the combina tion on the safe with heavy weapon, and by pushing back the lock spring, easily opened the repository. A num ber of valuable papers including a deed to property and an insurance policy, were taken. The safe of the Stephenson Motor Company revealed that the edges of the door had been saturated with soap and nitroglycerine poured into a small hole which had been bored near the top. The thieves evidently fearing discovery abandoned the enteriwise at this point. Zebulon, Oct. 30—Wakelon Highs defeated Selma Highs in football, 28-6. Sam Narfon and Grip Daugh- tery were outstanding for the win ners, the former scoring three ;ouchdowns and Daughtery tallying the other on a 40-yard run. Narron :rlso converted two extra point tries while Horrell made the other con versions. Selma’s lone touchdown came late in the .second period .when, after Coach Gerow had sent in his second team, the visitors launched a fine passin,g attack. A pass, Jones to Lane, produced the score. The first Wakelon score came in opening quarter -when Narron, on two runs ,moved the ball 60 yards to touchdown. Bill Lyles, Wil lard Morris, Harold Ferebee and McClellan May were be:t in the Wakelon line. It was- the locals’ fourth win of the season jMr. R. A.

These two teams from all indication will stack up about even. The Consei-va- tion Corps team is headed by Bob Hawkins 200 pound center. Haw kins was one time center and Captain at A. C. C. which at that time wa.s one of the strongest in its class. Also with the Conservation squad is Jonathon Lane, fast and shifty half-back apd one time star of Hugh Morson High and State Colleg-e Frosh team. The squad is composed of others equally as good as the above mentioned. Some idea of their .-trength is shown by their recent game with Louisburg Col lege in which they held Coach Sut- tenfields proteges to a two touch down victory. The C. C. C. had just been organized at that time. The locals as yet are untried but give promise of plenty action with following candidates: Headed prob ably by Henry Hood, former line star at Campbell and Wake Forest. Hood was prominently mentioned for All State Honors last year. Some others are Sherwood Shuler, former star end with the Campbell College Hornets, Tom Ray former local high and Carolina Frosh Star, Ray can boot the pig-kin with the best of them. Others who formerly starred at the local high and other schools and who will likely see action in the game are, Billy Black man, Sam Hood, John McMillan, Odell Strickland .Clyde McMillan, Frank Hood, Herbert Ward, Gib Fields, S. R. Lee, Jesse Barden, Narvln Creech, Bob Straughn, M. Griswold and others who will prob ably be out later. The locals began an extensive practice session Mon day and expect to be in toij form by Armistice Day. All in all it seems that the prospects are fine for one swell game and plenty of action for visiting veterans and other visitors. Johnston County Slayer Is Spared For Further Inves tigation of Case A large congregation enjoyed a most interesting sacred musical con cert at the Selma Baptist Church last Sunday night presented by the | whiskey. singing class of Carter’s Chapel j jy, making a routine report to the Action to Recover Wages Under NRA High Point, Oct. 29.—Another action to recover -wages said to be due as a ■ result of a signed NR.A. agreement was started in Magistrate C. C. Muse’s court Saturday by- George Edwards against E.' W. Garris, trading as the Sinclair Ser vice station at the corner of English and Broad streets. The plaintiff is asking for $200 ,the difference be tween the $5 a week which he says he was paid and the amount of wage;s specified in the code. Hear ing is set for Monday afternoon. Approximately 12,000 packages of rat bait will be used in 406 North Carolina counties this fall in a rat eradication camp^gn, says A. E Oman, biologist. Baptist church. The program was under the direction of Mr. J. E. Norkett, superintendent of the Lizzie Cotton Mill. There were around six ty mixed voices that composed this- chorus choir. The program was made up entirely of scred song.s ren dered by the choir and the Norkett Quartet.. Among the selections rendered were, “Heven Smile On Me,” “The Old Country Church” and the new rending of “All Hail the Power of .Jesus Name,” all of which were presented very effective ly. It is remarkable to note the marked progress made by this group "m such a short period of only a few weeks study and practice Carter’s Chapel is fortunate in hav ing such a fine group of talented young people. Some expressed the opinion that such a program should be -arranged for at least once a month. Doubtless this splendid choi-i will be invited back to Selma in the near future for another program of music. Mr. Norkett is to be com mended for the fine service which he has rendered among the Carter’s Chapel young people. We trust that the pastor of the Selma Baptist church will offer the community another such treat. Let the ser vices of the church be made at tractive with good music and the people will want to attend. Good music prepare.s the heart and soul for the Gospel message. . Governor, Warden Stanley mention ed that the condemned man had de clined to seek a reprieve and that his only concern .seemed to be what kind of liquor he could have on that short march into eternity. Rolph replied that Kagan shouh’ have any kind of whiskey he want ed, and “all he can stand up under’ so that he could “go out happy.” Eagan received a Presbyterian minister and a Catholic priest but refused their services. “I’ve been outside the church for 40 -years and I prefer to go out alone,” he told them. He proclaim ed his willingness to die and refer red to the scaffold as “the be.st way out.” Half an hour before the execu tion time he called for the whiskey and took one drink—not a very large one ,officers said. He reque.sted that his body' be turned over to the medical school of -the University of California with the remark that “perhaps it will help human mi-ery.” The warden took out his watch. The death hour had arrived. Eagan did not have to be told. “Just a second, please,” he said, turning on the phonograph, a traditional privilege in the death cell. He put on a record, listened to a few bars of a once popular air and then turned and began the march. He stepped lightly and his lips mov^ as if following the fad Governor Ehringhaus granted Lu ther McLamb a three-weeks exten sion of life Friday. The Governor acted in the case of the Johnston County, white man upon the recommendation of Parole Commi.'Sioner Edwin Gill, who ha.- spent considerable time upon the ease but was not ready Friday to report definite findings. 'The reprieve is the second one granted in the case. McLamb, father of eight children, slew George Hudson at a John.ston County “barn-raising.” The fatal blow was delivered with an axe, sunk with mighty power into Hud son’s .'kull. The doomed man claims he was drunk, and not responsible for his action ,and that it was not a pre meditated murder. The parole office has received numerous .statements in substantiation of the contention. On the other hand. Dr. H. H Utley, Benson physician who re sponded to the call for a doctor after the killing denies that Me Lamb was' too drunk to know what he was doing. The action of the Governor ad vanced the date of electrocution to Friday November 7, under the. law fixing date of execution on the third Friday following final action in a capital case. Actually ,the reprieve read for only one day. Selma Mill Village On Monday evening at 7 o’clock the ladies of the Village met at the home of Mrs James Kemp to organ ize a “Good Will Club.” We had seventeen present, all ready and will ing to do something for the up building and good of our village. There are many things that an or ganized group can do that we Car not accomplish individually. Those present were: Mrs. Joe Morgan, Mr.s. Lillie Adcock, Mrs. R L. Tew, Mrs. Paul Brown, Mrs Willis Price, Mrs. Frank Waters, Mrs, Martha Morris, Mrs. Mollie Norris, Mrs. Sanders Davis, Mrs. Bettie Parrish, Mrs. Allie Morris, .Mrs. C. 0. Morris, Mrs. Carolin Howell, Mrs. Eli Tay lor, Mrs. Vance Seawell, Mrs. Spen cer and Mrs. James Kemp. We will meet the fir.st Tue.sday evening in each month at 7 o’clock. Our next meeting will be with Mrs. C. 0. Morris. Winston-Salem Has Heavy Registration Win.ston-Salem, Oct. ,30—Regi.stra- tions here Saturday for the repeal election e.xceeded 1,000, bringing the total registration to upward of 6,000. ing strains from the phonograph. The trap clanged at 10.01 a. m. and 12 minutes later he was pro nounced dead. Three witnesses had to be assist ed out of the death chamber. Two Teachers Killed In Crash Miss Ora Jones and Miss Ethel Swanson Victims of CollLsion Greensboro ,Oct. 30.—Two Mc- Leansville school teachers Miss Ora Jones, 27, and Miss Ethel Swan.-on, 22, were fatally injured on State Highway No. 10 about eight miles east of here about 7 o’clock tonight when the small coupe in which they were riding was struck by a truck driven by P. L. Bobbitt, of Norlina, as the former machine was making a left turn from the highway. Miss Swanson, whose home was at Lenoir, was reported instantly kill ed in the cra>h, while Miss Jones, whose home was at Ossipee, died while en route to a local hospital in an ambulance. An investigation by county of ficers . resulted in a manslaughter charge being preferred against Bob bitt, who told the officers that hia machine crashed into the left rear of the coupe as it started to turn, making a left turn from the high way. Both machines were traveling east on the highway and Bobbitt said that the driver of the coupe failed to signal for the left turn aa he started to pass on the highway.
