PAGE EIGHT MSIJSneTS DEAD; BURIAL SAT. Heart Attack Fatal to Prominent Mabel Man; Olher News of Mabel Section. (Special Correspondence) Mabel, Feb. 3.?Hiram Greene, aged 77, esteemed farmer of the Mabel community, died suddenly at his home early Friday morning, presumably from a heart attack. Mr. Greene had been in his usual health the day before, but upon arising at -i o'clock Friday complained to his wife as to feeling ill. He returned to bed, and ten minutes later his wife discovered that death had come. Funeral services were conducted at Union Church Saturday afternoon, Rev. J. R. Trivett, Mr. Greene's pastor, being in charge lie made an impressive talk on the life of the deceased. Rev George Trivett of Vilas also assisted in the services. Interment was in die church cemetery, fteuis siurmvant runerai Home oeing in charge of the arrangements. Mr. Greene was born in Watauga county and in early manhood was married to Miss Elizabeth Lawrence. To this union were born three children: Callie, who died at the age of two years: Prof. A. J. Greene of Appalachian College, Boone; Mrs. Andrew Greer of Vilas. Two brothers, Mr . Manley Greene of Meat Camp, and A. J. Greene of Glade Springs, Va., a si3ter, Mrs. Sarah Greene, Cayuga, Ind.. survive, together with other close relatives and a host of friends. In 1914 Mrs Greene died. Later Mr. Greene married Mrs. Rachel Isaacs, who with the two children survive. 22 years ago Mr. Greene professed faith in Christ and joined Union Baptist Church at Mabel. He remained a member until death. Mr. Greene served his community as a member of the .school committee for more than twenty years and was alwayn loyal in this capacity and stood by the teachers in their work. Mr. Greene was honest, truthful and industrious His passing out means that we have lost a valuable citizen. Mrs. Hannah Combs is very sick at uie nome or nor mother, Mrs. A. N. Church.

In spite of political reluctance to increase taxation in an election year, some new taxes are definitely in the offing Among these arc some sort of an excise tax on processors of farm products to take the place of the old processing taxes. New inheritance taxes, higher corporation taxes, and higher individual income taxes seems to be a reasonable expectation. The farm relief situation is still far from being clarified. A3 good a forecast as can be made at this time is that existing AAA contracts will be paid up, and that 400 or 500 millions a year will be provided for new land lease subsidies. Whatever form the new farm plan take3, it is pointed out that there are plenty of trained employees to put it into operation. Mrs. Huey Long To Take Senate Seat New Orleans, Feb. 1.?Mrs. Huey P. Long, retiring widow of the late senator, today made enthusiastic plana to complete her husband's senate term, but her appointment to the post 'left many state officials puz ziea.

Allen, who had been nominated in the January 21 democratic primary to suocecd Long. Numerous officials privately had expressed confidence that Allen J. Ellender, speaker of the state house of repreeeiitativcB, who had heezi nominated for the full six-year senate term, also would be named for the unexpired term which ends in January. 1 ROGERS, JR. 1 Son of Will Rogers Now Publisher Newspaper j ^ LOS ANGELES . .

Scottsboro, Ala., Feb. 1.?Alabama I today sought to learn why 20 negro ! convicts were trapped in a flaming | truck yesterday and burned to death I while guards fought futilely to save j them. Hamp Draper, head of the convict i department, and Gaston Scott, chairman of the State Highway Commts! sion, were en route here to conduct I the inquiry ordered by Governor BU b I Graves. Waiting the arrival of 20 prls-rimade coffins v?re the chaired bodies of the 20 net: if-s who were- trajii ped in the cage-'lke body of mo ; truck when one of their number, seeking to warm i jibbing hands, lighted a piece of paper and ignited ; the gasoline. | Warden H. D. Hensard last night j announced tire death list which included only one prisoner serving as I much as 10 years. The rest ranged from a year and a day to 10 year3. Of the two surviving convicts, one Paifl Dawson, praised indirectly the work of the two guards, H. M. Middlebrook, of Montgomery, and C. It.

Dawson said a feliow-pri3oner "upfront" caused the halocaust by lighting a piece of paper to warm his hands and that Middlebrook quickly stopped the truck and opened the door at the rear. | The negro suffering burns that may cost his life, said the two guards nnatched him and John Stokes from the blazing truck and rolled them in the snow to extinguish the flames. Thinning pines rather than clearing "newground" is rapidly becoming an approved practice in the handling of farm forests throughout North Carolina.
