Which Is Given Credit of
"Going Over The Top"|
By Grower ... j
"It's going fine" said A _ware.-|
l houseman in answer to a question*
1 as to how tobacco was selling oil:
i the Louisburg Market and thei
statement was backed up by a
| grower in saying "the LOUIS
j BURG Market has gone clean' ov
I er the top."
This naturally sounds good' to ;
all, especially to the many grow
ers who have tobadco to sell and
it> is much better when they visit j
I the market and find both state-,
ments true.
Louisburg warehouses have
been enjoying good sales as to
quantity all through the week,
and exceptionally high prices as
I compared with other markets.
The LOUISBURG market- is
lyell equipped to handle a large
quantity of tobacco at advantag-l
eous prices and give that personal ?
attention that counts so much in

19 KILLED IN AIRPLANE CRASH)
Salt Lake City. ? Exhausted
workmen started Tuesday the
task of carrying from a mountain
wilderness the bodies of the 19 1
victims of the nation's most dead
ly airplane tragedy.
The bodies, strewn about the
wreckage of t'he once-magnificent j
airliner that struck a ridge 80
miles east "of here late Sunday,
were found by a searching crew
headed by Pilot Ralph Johnson of
the United Air Lines. His fellow
pilot. Bob Bergesen, located the
wreckage from the air Monday.
Included aiiiong the four wom
en and 15 men killed were an ex
pectant mother, a not-ed patholo
gist, and two newsreel men mak
ing a picture of "the safety of
transcontinental flying."
Front Part Burned
"The front part of the plane
had been burned as t'hougli gaso
line tanks had exploded when the
ship struck," "aid Johnson.
"Several of the bodies appar
ently shot out through the nose of
the ship, and some of them were
buried in deep snow.
The wreckage is in an almost
inaccessible area, and it will be
very difficult to bring the bodies
and t'he mail and recoverable
plane parts out.
"Horses and mules will have to
be used for part of the work, but
it may be necessary to carry the
stretchers by hand for part of the
way where the going is too steep
for animals." ?
The bodies were t-o be -brought
Jown to the Knight. Wyo., aii
port, 2 6 miles north of the Uinta i
Mountain crash scene, and then,
it was indicated, would be taken
in hearses to an Evanston. Wyo..
mortuary. .
The great airliner, had been
missing, since' 8:19 P- 111 ? S"n,y
when it' was enroute from Chej
snnt, Wyoming, to Salt Lake City.
It was first sighted from the
lir Monday morning the most d?t
Icult sort of terrain it crash?
it about the 10,000 foot, level.
Johnson's searching party was
lided towards dawn by an almost
full moon, but the bitter cold
made the going difficult.
Johnsori< made no report as to
the condition of t'he victims' bod
Airline officials declined to spec
ulate as to how long it would take
to remove the bodies, but express
ed hope that it would be done by
nightfall.
The searchers struggled over
precipitous cliffs and through deep
Blush up the trail-less Chalk Peak,
seeking the wreckage of the huge
airliner which crashed in a storm
Sunday night.
From the outset there had been
virtually no hope that any of the
occupants survived, and Tuesday s
discovery established the tragedy
as the worst in the history of
American plane crashes.
Airline officials refused to ha
zard an opinion as to definite
cause of the crash other than to
say it was attributable "in some
degree to adverse weat'her and
flying conditions."
The airliner, flown by veteran
Pilot Earl D. Woodgerd of Den
ver, made its last report to the
Salt Lake City Airport at 8:19 P
m. Sunday. Woodgerd said he was
flying through broken clouds at
10,000 feet.
Three minutes earlier, as the
plane passed over Rode Springs,
Wyoming, Woodgerd had radioed
the United Air Lines office here:.
"Slightly rough; all okay."
A driving wind and rain storm
was lashing* Aortheastern Utah.
The airliner plunged intq it.
United Air Lines Pilot Bob Ber
gensen. who sighted the wrecked
craft on a search flight, said it
appeared t'hat Woodgerd had at
tempted to return to Knight Em
ergency field when he got into the
center of the roaring storm. The
westbound' plane was flying east
when it ploughed into Mie moun
tainside, he said.
Manning the "Mainliner" with N
Pilot Woodgerd were Co-Pilot |
John Adams of Denver and Hos-j
teas Leah Derr of Salt Lake City.
Passengers were Louis Cleaver, |

Greatest previous death toll in j
United States airline history was1

into a swamp, tilling 17 persons.
When t'he "Mainliner" crashed
the storm had swept it 15 miles j
off the regular air lane between
Cheyenne and Salt Lake City. |

tal Office ? Passes Through
Sky Light To Top? Ex
tinguished With No Great
Damage
The fire alarm Tuesday after
noon sent' in from the W. E.
Furniture Co. building created
the most excitement seen here in
many months. On account of the
illness of the truck driver the fire
department was slightly delayed
but soon were 011 t'he scene with
chemicals and water and proceed
ed to take control of the situa
tion. It developed that the fire
originated in some trash in the
hallway to Dr. C. H. Hanks office,
located in the front of the second
, story to this building and direct
ly under a skylight. It's location
permitted the flame and smoke to
go out the top through this out
let without the usual damage. It
was necessary however to use wa
ter and chemicals and quite a bit
of damage was done with these,
j The total damage to the stock of
furniture and the building of W.
1 E. White Furniture Co., has not
been estimated but is covered by
j insurance.
The damage to Dr C. 11. Banks
office and fixtures was estimated
at about $500 with no insurance.
Chinese Situation
"The Chinese-Japanese situation
to my knowledge, is only a mat
ter of a short time before Chiha
will go under," stated Mr. J. Ful
I ler M alone at the Louisburg Ki
wanis club on Tuesday evening.
1 Mr. Malone, who was introduced
by Kiwanian Paul.Elam, has been
lover in China for around 12 years
i*jid is in position to kuow the
! situation well.
"Shanghai is possibly the only
city of its kind in the world,"
stated Mr. Malone. "It has all na
tionalities running together, and
is governed by a fourteen man
council who' is elected by rental
property. The council is composed
jof five British, five Chinese, two
| of the United States and two
French. There ax<5 two policemen
on every street ill' Shanghai and
[during the time of peace a person
is safer on the streets there than
they are in Chicago or New York.'.'
He also stated "that China is
twice the sijze of the United States
with four thousand miles of sea
- coast' with ail ports blockaded by
Japan. Also that Japan has Glov
ed 6,000 soldiers into northern
China cutting oft supplies from
Russia?" except by air." ? .
"It is surprising to me as Well
as to anyone else Who knows the
situation," stated Mr. Malone,
"that China has been able to hold
her ground as she has but it is
also evident that if some outside
country does not come to her aid
that China is doomed in a very
short while. It seems as though
Japan is only committing rape on
'China, for in 1-932 she went over
and took Manchuria and then
i started to take Shanghai, but due
1 to the fact' that Great Britain had
such a strong hold. Japan waited.
Due to the fact that all the other
countries have all they can man
age at the present, it* seems as
though Russia is the only one
that will be able to help."
i Mr. Malone also stated "that
] the reason for all this was t'hat
j Japan wanted to be able to buy
; raw materials from China with
j out an? competition."
"The Chinese," he stated, "as
I small business men are no doubt
'{ the best in the world, bub as big
, business they fail because ot the
! one word, squeeze. The Japan
| ese are very pleasant and will go
S out of their way to direct you,
'I while the Chinese are individual
I ist and will not."
"As I have said before," he
'' added, "that unless some outside
! country comes to China's aid she
j is surely doomed."
I A general round-table discus
sion was had on the advertising
program of the Tobaoco markat
which the Kiwanis.club is spon
soring. ,
! After the singing of one verse

: meeting adjourned.

SATURDAY NIGHT
Nine Negroes On One Car
Two White Boys On Oth
er?Crash On Fox Swamp
Bridge On Halifax Road
? Both Cars Badly Dam
aged
Possibly one of the biggest au
tomobile wrecks that has occurred
iu this vicinity In a long while
occurred Saturday night arpund
12 o'clock on the Halifax high
way when two automobiles col
lided on the Fox Swamp bridge >
about two and a half miles from
town, in which Jerry Ellis and
Louis Durham, colored, were ,
kilted instantly and several in
jured more or less seriously.
An investigation by Coroner R.
A. BobbiW, Sheriff J. P. Moore,
Officers C. E. Pace, C. F. Cash
and A. W. Perry, revealed the in
formation that Jerry Ellis was
driving a Ford model A automo
bile with eight other boys as pas
sengers, that he turned' off tho
lights to t'he car to turn on the
radio and was crossing the bridge
going out of town as a Dodge
Coupe "containing J. L. Cunning
ham, and H. F. Dunn, two white
men of Rich Square, came along.
The driver of the Dodge not see
ing the other car because of the
lights being out attempted to
cross the bridge, thereby causing
the car with the negro boys, and
it to crash on the bridge. The .
dead boys were removed and pre
pared for burial while the woun
ded were taken to physicians for
treatment-. One of the negroes,
Ernest DUrham had his nose cut, '
off and it is said took it to the
dootor in his hand The white
boys received painful injuries,
and were given treatment by local
physicians.
Coroner R. A. Bobbitt held an
inquest at which fjicts substanti- .
al to the above were brought out
and the jury found a verdict
"that Jerry Ellis, was the cause
of the wreck by driving a_ car on
the highway without lights." The
jury wis composed of the follow
ing: Kenneth Collier, C. F. Cash,
V. B. Yiverette, Henry Beasley,
Claude Collins, J. L. Purgurson.
Both cars were badly damaged.
Messrs. Cunningham and Dunn

of a public hanging than hear the
