It is fairly certain that Mr. Hancock, if he seaks the Senate scat, would have at least the blessings of former Governor-Senator Cameron Morrison, former Senator F. M. Simmons, Senator It. R. ReynoidSi, and, if he does not run, Governor Ehringhaus. However, mnnv ppnnlo elnim "Mr. SailCV has a strong organization built up and that it woulc! take about all any man in the state could muster to beat him. Others deny existence of such a strong organization, or claim it would not hold together in an election emergency. REYNOLDS ESTATE SETTLED The settlement of the $30,000,000 estate of the late Smith Reynolds, son of R. J. Reynolds, Winston-Salem tobacco magnate, as agreed upon in a judgment signed in For syin county superior court last March by Judge Clayton Moore, was afformed in an unanimous N. (J. Supreme Court decision Friday. The case must be heard also in Maryland. in order to protect the trust company holding the estate in tru3t under the will of the late R. J. Reynolds, before division can be made and the chapter finally closed. The i distribution plan follows: Mrs. Libby Holman Reynolds, second wife of Smith Reynolds, gets ; 5750,000 after state and other taxes ; are paid; her son, Christopher Smith i Reynolds, gets 25 per cent., about i $7,000,000; Anne Cannon Reynolds, i Second, daughter by his first mar- ! riage to Anne Cannon, gets 37 Vi per cent, about $9,000,000 including SI,- J 000,000 which went to daughter and mother under a pre-divorce settle- ' ment and 37 per cent, to R.

TO KNFOHCE NEW LAW Rigid enforcement of the new State drivers' license law, effective ^Jov. 1, will not be started until about S'ov. 15, due to delay in getting out die licenses caused by delay in se~ :uring the automatic photographic nachinery used in photographing the icenses.

BrogJen, who died and was buried Thursiay at his home town of Durham. Judge Devin, 63, has been Superior Court judge of the Tenth judicial district since 1913. His elevation to the higher court is considered a merited honor and responsibility properly bestowed, and is apparently one of the most popular* of the appointments made by Governor Ehringhaus. Other members of the court are Chief Justice Walter P. Stacy, Wilmington; Associates George W. Connor, Wilson; Heriot Clarkson, Charlotte; Michael Schenck, Hendersonvlvlle. HOLD UP BANK Three youthful bandits held up the Durham Loan & Trust Co. branch at Apex at noon Friday, one keeping two officials and two visitors covered, one schooping up what was in the cash drawer and one ransacking the vault, getting about $750, then joining a fourth in a waiting car. A second car followed, belief being it was to cover the retreat and to be U3ed for the getaway in case of pursuit.j The car number was secured, but it j may be a blind.

Hallowe'en Party The dining oom of the VaJle Cru-j cis School was the scene of a gay Hallowe'en party last Thursday night. Misses Wilma Baird, Gladys Taylor, Pearl Mast. Nancy Taylor, Mesdames Richard Olsen and Tom Taylor were hostesses to about fifty guests from Boone, Cove Creek and the valley at a costume party. The Hallowe'en idea was carried out in the invitations written on black paper in white and yellow ink with a large yellow moon across which rode a witch on a broomstick. Most of the guests replied in the same vein and appeared in an interesting array of costumes. Miss Grace Mast in ghostly white robe greeted uixu amviiig guests, giving mem a limp and chilly hand ?a white glove stuffed with rice. Miss Constance Shouns as Martha Washington and 'Mr. James Mast as a Spanish don won the prizes offered for the best costumes and manipulation of the figures in the Grand March. The hall was appropriately decorated with jack-o-lanterns, streamers, and balloons, and those who preferred bridge were invited to the stage where tables were provided and decorated with autumn leaves and apple candles. Punch was served throughout the evening. Following the Virginia reels and square dances, refreshments were served. Tiny cheese pumpkins and candy favors on Hallowe'en plates made a charming accompaniment to the chicken salad, tomato aspic, hot stuffed potatoes, hot rolls, pumpkin tarts with ice cream, coffee and stuffed dates. Mr. Burwell from Winston-Salem who is a clever magician, gave- an impromptu entertainment after supper, hypnotising some of the school girls after bewildering his audience with many clever tricks After another hour of dancing in which the bridge players joined the party ended to the strains of "Home Sweet Home," played by Mr. Hard Thomas and his Troubadours. Sunday night Miss Gladys Taylor entertained a few friends and relatives at a farewell supper for Mrs. Paula G. Love who has been her houseguest for the past three months. Most of the guests were memDers or the well known Cut-up Club of Valle Crucis, and it goes without saying that much merriment and nonsense ensued during the spai ghetti supper. Mrs. Love leaves Tuesday to visit friends in other parts of the state and in South Carolina before returning to Los Angeles, California. | Democrat Ads Pay IKY THURSDAY?BOONE, N. C.

I Careless Hunters Start Destructive Forest Fires Careless hunters, dropping lighted matches and tailing to put out camp fires, start hundreds of destructive forest fires in Mortli Carolina every year. There is no harm in making small fires to warm by, said R W. Graeber, extension forester at State College, but leaving them unquenched is dangerous. Sven when the flames have died down, and only a mass of glowing embers remains, there is langer of the wind whipping sparks intc flammable leaves nearby, Graeber stated. If there is no water available to quench the fire, he continued,the embers should be buried beneath a small pile of earth in which there is no combustible material. The danger of smoking in the woods will be reduced, Graeber added, if hunters are careful not to drop lighted matches, throw away glowing cigarets, or empty the ashes out of lighted pipes. Another bad practice is that of building fires to smoke 'possums or rabbits out of hollow logs or trees, and leaving the fires to burn after the hunters have gone. Similarly, the firing of a briar patch, as is sometimes done by thoughtless boys or adul'a to get a rabbit out where they can shoot it, often starts fires which spread rapidly through the underbrush and woods. The difference between carelessness and a little precaution, Graeber emphasizd, often means the difference between a good forest and a burned over wasteland.

Feed Corn To Hogs For Bigger Profit At current prices, corn fed to hogs J will return a bigger income to the farmer through the sale of meat than if the corn were sold directly. Farmers with a good supply of corn can hardly afford not to raise j pigs this year, says W. W. Shay, j 1 I swine specialist at State College. ! ] Corn fed to hogs will yield, on ar I ^ average, about 51.30 a bushel, as J < I compared with 75 cents a bushel i i when sotd on the market as corn. 1 Shay also states thai 30-pound pigs j Isold for $i each, as is often the case, , jdo not return the farmer any proft, ] since it costs that much to produce ; I a pig of that weight. j 1 But as the pig gains in weight, the ; ( ;oost of production for each pound!-. steadily diminishes until the hog: [reaches a weight of around 200) i pounds. Not counting the corn, the cost ofp ; producing 100 pounds meat on a hog . lis about 53.20. When hogs arc valued I al vli per 100 pounds of live meat, I 1 there remains $7.S0 to cover the cost j 51 the corn. Six bushels of corn will usually j broduce 100 nounHs nf m.-.nt SHuv i pointed out. Hence th'% corn may be considered as bringing a return of j SI.30 a bushel when converted into t pork. Or if tKe corn is figured at 75 cents j a bushel, there is a net profit of $6.66 on each 200-pound hog sold for $22. j A litter of sis: pigs from a sow should j yield a gross return of $264 or a net j return of $79.92. r First Prize, Zotos Machi Permanent, Second Prize, Vitrolux Third Prize, Oil Wave .

The State of Tennessee now recognizes all passenger car licenses for uily 30 days and all non-resident Owners of freight carrying vehicles operated for any purpose whatsoever, private or for hire, and passenger vehicles operated for hire are compelled to pay a mileage tax immediately :>n entering the state of Tennessee. North Carolina has taken similar lotion by instructing its highway patrolmen that tags on passenger cars shall have only 30 days recognition. L*his paper assumes that this applies >nly to cars from Tennessee and that bars from other states will receive die same recognition here as is given North Carolina cars in these respec.ive states. At any rate, all cars operated for hire and all property hauling vehicles, whether private or for hire, carrying Tennessee tags must pay the North Carolina registration fee on entering the state.
