Sept. l?th. Ilespite the fact that the press re ports stated the party reached Mur-j phy, no one can be found here who I >aw the plane, or any plane, over Murphy. Local officials state that I in all probability the party flew over] some other Western town and thought | it was Murphy. Mayor V. I. IJutt said .he certainly would like- to have had that box of ' figs and box of fruit which were ' dropped from the plane, as he was j sort of hungry for some fruit. How j ever, he was forced to forego this j treat in favor of some other more . fortunate mayor. The Associated Press dispatch from .Manteo, carried in the Ashe ville Citizen Sept. loth, under date line of Sept. Uth. follows: The orator's expression for the uttermost ends of Xorl.h Carolina "from Manteo to Murphy" ? was turned into the description of an easy airplane jaunt today by 17 year-old John Parrott, of Kinston. The youth flew from Roanoke Island community on the coast to I the seat of Cherokee County on the ? Tennessee border and return. His; father. Dr. Albert Parrott, and Carl j Goereh, of Washington, accompanied him on the trip which they described , as the first trans-state flight. A narrow strip of beach near j Nag's Head was tjie scene of the take j off at 5:15 a. m. From there. Par- j rott soared over Manteo, dipped his wings in salute to the Wright Mon ument at Kill Devil Hill, scene of the first successful airplane flight, and cruised away to the West. Stops were made at Charlotte en- j route to Murphy and return 13 re- j fuel. Over the mountain communi- ! ty the plane circled and dropped a ' letter from the mayor of Manteo to j the mayor of Murphy. A box of i figs and a box of fruit from Roanoke ; Island, also were dropped. The flight was completed here at 5:45 p. m.

LEGIONMEf FRIDAY NIGHT COURT HOUSE Plans Being Made For Reinlistment Campaign for Next Year, which Starts October 1st The Joe Miller Klkins Post of the ' American Legion met in the court j .'louse last Friday night with Com | mander Allen \V. Lovingood in j charge. j Mr. Lcvingood announced that comissioner.-. the Legionaires of the through the courtesy of the county county could use the court house for a meeting place during the winter on the >a me basis which they used it the f ir-x of the year. This offer was graciously accepted and the next l-ieetinjr, which is scheduled for Fri day niirht. Sepember 23rd. will he heli? a the e?>ui t house an'1 all I.egion ;ures of the county are urged to be presmt as matters of importance are cxpected to come up at that time. A di.: cusion of the prospects for a larger membership next year disclos ed th?* fact that the Legion through- j ut th'- country had come into a measure of disrv| I'te because of the j activities of the bonus army at Washington and the outspoken op position of a nun.h< r ot its national ly prominent members to the pay men: of the adjusted compensation, . o-called the bonus. It was pointed out* that leading, magazines and newspapers of thi ' country were carying articles by ? prominent citizens, both in and outj of t:ie Legion, tending to criticize th? organization and hold it up to ridi cule before the public. -Mso, that certain strong organization^ of the country had banded together and were lighting any proposed payment of the bonus, as well as waging a fight on a national scale for the elimination by congressional enact ment ?if certain benefits which the veterans art- now receiving. The concensus of opinion of the local post was that the American Legion is now facing one of its crucial tests, and that the only way to hold its own and make any head way toward any payment of the bonus m the near future was by con certed action and reinlistment of old members and enlistment of new members. An enlistment campaign for the local post is being planned. JUDJGE HILL HOLDS COURT , IN albermarlfJ Judge Frank S. Hill, of Murphy, j who was recently appointed to the superior court bench by Governor Gardner, is holding his first court at Albermarle in Stanley county which opened on Monday, Sept. 5th, for a two weeks session. Judge Hill re ceived notification of his appointment on Wednesday, bis jcommissipn Friday, was sworn in on Saturday, and opened his first court on Mon day, which is within itself a sort of record for speed and dispatch. The I oath of office was taken before his father, C. B. Hill, who is a Justice of the Peace at Murphy. His next term will be held at Shelby, Cleveland county, the home of Governor O. Max Gardner, who appointed him, which will be a one week term. He is then scheduled to hold a one-week term in Clay coun ty, at Hayesville. However, it is likely that he will make an exchange with some other judge because of his close association and interest as a member of tut; Xirui of 5121 & Gray in a number of cases which are scheduled to come befo're the Clay court at this time. The next term, Judge Hill will go to Elizabeth City, in Pasquotank county, the home town of Governor elect J. C. B. Ehringhaus.
