Burglars Take
Heavy Safe;
Get Little
Early Friday morning, burglars
broke into the store operated by
Howell O Jones at ^Catesvljle, fire
miles from Loulsburg, and stole
the safe containing $30.00, sugar
and other supplies valued at
about (150.00. and ten or twelve
dollars from the cash drawer.
The marauders evidently used a
bolt-cutter to cut away the strong
wire over the front window, then
raised the window, entered the
?tore and unbarred the front door.
The safe weighed 1,000 lb*., and
it must have taken several men
to move It. They carted It away
on a truck atolen recently from
Willie Wilson who lives near Iu
tleslde. They abandoned the
truck on an infrequently traveled]
road about two and one-half miles
?way, near Cedar Creek. The safe
was discovered on the truck, but
no trace of the sugar and mer
chandise has been found. It Is
supposed that the intruders broke
the lock and then used sharp in
atruments to prize the safe open.
"Peeping Tom"
Quite a bit of excitement pre
vailed on Baker heights early Sun
day morning when a "Peeping
Tom" visited the home of Mr. C.
C. Hudson and engaged in his ne
farious crime. Miss Lucile Hud
son was badly frightened upon
seeing the negro's face at the
window and gave the alarm. Mr.
Hudson gave chase but could not
see the party sufficient to identify
him. Only saw him passing
through the weeds as be made his
?scape towards the woods at the
rear of the house. By this time
? number of the neighbors had
gathered and a person was seen
on the street near the home and
Mr. Hudson went to Investigate
and recognised Hoot Egerton, col
ored, who lives about a quaster of
a mile back of the Hudson'*
home. Upon being requested to
go down to the crowd and talk
over the matter Egerton told
Hudson "I haven't done anything.
Captain" and ran, at which Mr.
Hudson shot at him to stop him,
but Egerton made his get away. I
Later officers vnlted the home of
Egerton, secured one of his shoes
and fitted It to a track made by
the culprit under the window and
a perfect fit was observed. Fol
lowing this Egerton was arrested
and bound over to Recorder's
Court by 'Squlse 8. P. Boddle. A
hearing was had In Recorder's
Court and for the lack of suffic
ient evidence conneotlng the de
fendant with the crime, he was
acquitted.
It Is understood there la some
one in this vicinity practicing the
"Peeping Tom" stunt quite fre
quently and It is ? pity that the
right party can't be caught with,
a sufficient amount of evidence to
rid the community of this men-!
?oe.

Methods of rat-proollng build

Work Projects
Raleigh, Sept. 26. ? Due to the ?
seasonal increase in (arm em- ,
ployment in harvesting and mar
keting cotton, tobacco, and other
crops all work projects under the i
NCERA in rural sections of the ,
State will be discontinued imme- ,
diately, Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, |
State Relief Administrator', an- ,
nounced today.
Mrs. O'Berry said that hund- ^
reds of calls for farm workers
have -been made at local relief of- ,
flees by private employers during ,
the past several days indicating ,
the need" for work and direct re- ,
lief to care for unemployed farm
workers has sharply declined.
The State Administrator said '
that all farm workers In the 8tate .
classified as "employables" will
be removed from the relief rolls :
not later than September 26.
"During the height of the har
vesting season," Mrs. O'Berry said
"when the need for additional
farm workers Is so urgent, the
need for work projects and direct
relief to care for unemployed peo
ple is reduced to the minimum.
"With few exceptions, we are
suspending all work projects in'
the rural areas and removing farm
laborers from relief rolls in order
that farmers and others offering
private employment may be as
sured adequate help during the ,
harvesting saeson." j,
Allottment Cards
County Agent E. J. Morgan '
states that there seems to be a
misunderstanding by a few grow
ers in the county who signed to- i
bacco reduction contracts, that 1
after they self their allottment <
they can go ahead and sell any i
surplus they have and pay the 25
per cent tax under an administra- <
live ruling any excess above the <
80 per cent must be sold under i
another contracting producers 1
card.
Before a card can be used by
another grower the owner of this
card is required to go to the Coun
ty Agent's office and have the card
transferred to the party who is to
get it.
SJr. Floyd, extension tobacco
spclalist, has several million
pounds in allottment cards that
have been delivered to him by
Georgia growers who failed to
make their allottments. These far
mers are offering them at 5c per
pound.
All growers In this county de
siring any of these cards will
please call at the Cdunty Agent's |
office and make application for
the number pounds they will want
to purchaae from the Georgia
growers.

PRICES HIGH
AT OXFORD
Oxford, Sept. 26. ? Price? on
the better grades of tobacco offer
ed oil the Oxford market sky
rocketed Friday and the reopen
ing Monday after the week-end
holiday found prices firm on all
grades.
The word is getting noised
about that Oxford has led the
belt in prices for several days and
new patrons are coming dally,
many -of them from distant to
bacco-growing counties.
Sales began Monday without a
block In any of the six large
warehouses, which hare a daily
selling capacity of more than
500,000 pounds. Two full sets of
buyers representing all the manu
facturers and exporters apd a
number of independent buyers bid
spiritedly and keep prices highest
In Oxford, every day.
The bulk of the offerings to
date have been ground priming*,
but a greater volume of wrappers
have turned up on the floor* this
week and this type of tobacco is
easily bringing from $40 to $80
the hundred. The average for
the entire market the past week
when 1,767,574 pounds sold, was
near )27.00 per hundred.
Oxford is the only market In
the belt which offers government
grading. Farmers are confident
this service is helpful in getting
higher prices.

Bills Being a Lindbergh
Certificate; Lindbergh
Testified Before Grand
Jury Earlier In Day;

Was In Garage
Trenton, Jf. J., Sept. 26.?
Doubt wa.- expressed today wheth
er Bruno Richard Hauptmann, in
dicted in New York on a charge
of extortion in the IJndberg kid
napping, could be tried in this
state on a charge of kidnapping.
From a High official source,
which declined to be quoted, it
was learned that the kidnapping
charge might be outlawed under *
the statute of limitations.
New York, Sept. 26. ? Four rolls
of bills amounting to $840 were
found today in Bruno Richard
Hauptmann's garage, and District
Attorney Samuel J. Foley said
Hauptmann told him it was pact
of a bundle of money given to
him for safekeeping by the late
Isidor Fisch.
"Every one of the bills is a
Lindbergh certiflate," Foley stat
ed.
The Bronx county grand Jury
today indicted Hauptmann on a
charge of extortion as the alleged
receiver of the $50,000 Lindbergh
ransom.
The indictment was handed up
to Supreme Court Justice Charles
B. McLaughlin in the Bronx coun
ty building in less than an hour
after the grand jury had returned,
from a lunchenon recess.
At the morning session, tha
grand jury had heard from Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh his own
story of his futile attempt to ran
som his kidnapped son two and a
half years ago by the payment oC
$50,000 through Dr. John F. Con
don, the "Jafsie" of the negotia
tions. to a supposed emissary of
the kidnappers in St. Raymond'*
cemetery in the Bronx.
The ransom money just uncov
ered was found tightly rolled and
stuffed into five small boles bored
into a two-foot two-by-four*
In a hollowed-out space below
the holes, police found a small
automatic pistol, fully loaded and
apparently of German make. It
would lit in the palm of a man's
hand and bore the inscription
"lilllput kal ? 4.25."
Foley made his announcement
during a: luncheon recess of the
grand Jury. The district attorney
said that Hauptmann tpld him
there was $600 to $800 in the
garage and Foley said the prison
er added "that is part of the
money which I now know to be
Lindbergh money."
The money was found by Lieut.
Martin Tobin ten minutes after a
police crew of two carpenters and
three laborers had begun to dis
mantle the garage.
After announcing the find, To
bin Jumped into an automobile
and sped toward the district attor
ney's office.
Persons who got a glimpse ot
the bag as it was rushed to the
district attorney's office, estimat
ed that the bundle was three feet
in length and about six inches
wide.
Later it was reported the mon
ey was found In four roles back of
a board on the side of the garage,
having been rolled to fit thfTioles.
Back of the board also was
found a .25 caliber automatic pis
tol.
