TO WORK 4 TRAINS AT DEPOT Seaboard Stations Employee At Depot For Evening Passenger Service That Roanoke Rapids is at last getting a little recognition from the Seaboard Airline Railway is evidenced this week by an order from the home office in Norfolk to E. W. Eubank, local agent, author izing stationing an employee at the looal depot to work the Nor lina-bound 6:23 P. M. train, and to work all passenger trains on Sunday. This means that an em ployee will be at the ticket office to work all passenger trains on the Seaboard except the 11:23 P. M. South-bound, and the 5:23 A. M. North-bound passengers, daily and Sunday. Heretofore, there has been no one on duty at the station to sell tickets or give information for the 6:23 P. M. South-bound train on ■week-days, or for any passenger trains on Sunday. This worked a great hardship on the travelling public, as most persons wishing to board these trains were not familiar with the situation, and found no one at the station to give information as to connections at Norlina, etc. The Seaboard Airline Railway now operates six passengers daily thru’ Roanoke Rapids as follows: North-bound (to Norfolk) Train No. 18—10:03 A. M. Train No. 16 —5:23 A. M. Train No. 14—4:07 P. M. South-bound (to Norlina) Train No. 13—12:07 (noon). Train No. 17—6:23 P. M. Train No. 15 —11:23 P. M. Until recently three of these trains listed Roanoke Rapids as a flag stop. After a constructive editorial in this news paper, the Seaboard changed their time-tables to show all passenger trains stopping here. Now all but two of the trains are worked, and there is comparatively little travel originating here for those two trains. Train No. 18, for Norfolk, and No. 17, for Norlina, now car ry a combination club-diner that is air-conditioned. The Seaboard is one of the first railroads in the South to offer air-conditioned pas senger car service. Mr. and Mrs. Julian R. Allsbrook and children left today for a week’s stay at Virginia Beach. UP AND DOWN t:he Avenue WITH THE EDITOR And somebody better get busy before we lose that opportunity to get the Avenue paved from curb to curb all the way. It may not come this way but once and that right now. We pay for the storm sewers and the State will pay for the paving. Otherwise some day we will have to pay for both, if we ever decide to have the Broad Avenue. Word has been received here that L. G.

Hog Gang Suspects (Continued from page one) torn into shreds by many pig’s snout. The odor was that of a hog pen that had never been cleaned out. In the car was found a pair cf heavy bolt cutters, said to make splendid wire cutters, three flash lights and a quantity of shelled corn. Identification of one of the pigs in the Henderson pen was made this afternoon by Henry Harper, of Roanoke Rapids, who went there with local officers, who learned there that the Harrises had a regular place prepared for dress ing the pigs near the boiler room of one of the mills, where they were well supplied with steam and hot water. How They Worked It is claimed their method of operation was to take orders from stands, barbecue places and indi viduals a day or two in advance and deliver the dressed product in the early morining hours, about opening time. The price was re ported at 10 cents per pound, which was one cent under market cost. Suspicion of the men has been in the mind of a local officer for some time, who watched their act ions over a period of weeks. Later it was found by a check-up with Collector Welch that no processing tax was being paid by the group. They were arrested while deliver ing dressed pigs to local stands. These pigs were not used after the N° ViaUj Do you ever go to work feeling “done in”... dreading the long, hard day ahead of you? Then light a Camel.

Camel’s costlier tobaccos never interfere with healthy nerves. “Gel a LlH with a Camel!” owners were notified of the cir cumstances. Several persons say the car has been seen in the neighborhood of recent hog pen raids, altho no one has been found yet who can posi tively say that the Harris men were in the car at those times. They are in Roanoke Rapids jail tonight, with officers from sever al counties inquiring about them. On the warrants served from Northampton, they were given a preliminary hearing by Magistrate J. L. Camp. Several witnesses were heard and palpable cause was found and they were placed under $500 Ponds each lor appear ance si Jackson Court. The three plead not guilty. One Former Local Man L. R. Harris, about 38, was a resident of Roanoke Rapids for a bout 8 months in 1929-30. He was the manager of the Gold Star Store, a grocery store, at that time, and later was connected for a short time with a local insurance agency. He says that he has been employed part time in one of the Henderson cotton mills and handled pigs on the side. His 14 year old boy was living with Harris’ estranged wife at the latter’s home in Henderson. The boy was taken back to Henderson this afternoon by officers but would divulge nothing to them a bout the charges made against his father and uncles. Lonnie Harris, 34, says he also works for a Henderson mill, from 3 p. m. until midnite, three days Relieves Headache Due To Constipation “Thedford’s Black-Draught has been used in my family for years,” writes Mrs. J.

Leonard, age 30, claims to have been too ill to work recently.
