MAN IS JAILED IN KIDNAP CASE Tormer Minister of Durham Charged With Spiriting Away Henderson Girls Henderson, May 22. ? Two 8outh Henderson girls under 17 years of age were being sought to day and Harry Gardner, 24, who claims to be a former minister of , Durham, was in the Vance County Jail awaiting trial in Superior Court on a charge of kidnapping. The girls, Louise Wallace and , Edna Rose Wilkerson, are said to have been missing from their homes since Friday night, and their parents informed officers they suspected Gardner had car ried the two away against the girls' wills. When taken by offi cers, Gardner is said to have de clared that he knew where the missing girls were but refused to I divulge the knowledge. Today in | j recorder's court he denied know-, 'ing anything about the affair. < Sheriff L. L. Swanson said to- j night he understood that Gardner j was assisting in a sort of revival , meeting being held at South Hen- ] derson at the present time. , The former minister gave his , address as 407 North Maple Street 1 Durham. He is being held under! $2,000 bond. Yankee Clipper Leaves Portugal Huge Trans-Oceanic Plane Sched uled To Leave Lisbon at 7 A. M. For Marseilles; Has Crew of 14 and Three Observers Lisbon, Portugal, May 22. ? The huge Yankee Clipper linked the old and new worlds on its initial flight in regular airline service by alighting on the Tagug river here at 7:42 p. m., (2:45 p. m., E.S.T.) yesterday. The plane with a crew of 14 and three observers aboard reached here with its 1,603 pounds of mail . from the Azores after a flight of' six hours and 54 minutes. The dis tance is 1,300 miles. The silvery clipper floated down just at sunset to complete the first commercial flight across the north : Atlantic. The history-making flight star- 1 ted from New York at 12:08 p. m. i E.S.T. i Saturday and the big ar- ! liner landed at Horta, the Azores, ; at 1:29 a. m., E.S.T., yesterday covering the 2,300 miles of its first leg in 13 hours and 21 min utes. To veteran Commander Arthur E. La Porte, skipper of the craft it was "just routine and not very' romantic." He was second officer on the clipper when it made its initial crossing on an exploratory flight last March. The clipper was delayed at Hor- ' ta because of the inability of the postoffice there to stamp quickly i for collectors 23,000 letters it ? brought from the United States. The Horta landing was made to the accompaniment of bands blar ing from flag bedecked launches. Rockets were fired from shore to , mark the epochal flight. The clipper was scheduled to take off at.7 a. m., (2 a. m. E.S.T.) forMarseille, France, today. John ? What's the matter old man? You look tired out. Bill ? It's, my wife.

With warm dry weather through out the past week, crop condi tions throughout Vance and sur rounding counties remain good. Very little change in percentage of crop transplanted has been noted since last week, percentage plant ed being about 45 percent. If pre-' dictions of rain transpire within | the next day or so, 75 percent ofj he local tobacco crop will be'i transplanted next week. Plants al ready in the ground are showing !< up nicely, with a very small per-' centage dying. Conditions still warrant a pre diction of a 15 to 20 percent in- < crease in acreage. A number of farmers have gone to the East and| Southern belts this past week and have purchased plants, not wait-i ing on neighbors to finish up to | borrow plants locally. Plants ap pear to be easily procurred to the Bouth of this section from all re ports received. A feature that is noticed! :hroughout this belt Is a better preparation of land before trans planting which will result in the| naking of a much better crop than ] last year. With present crop con ditions prevailing, an early crop should result. Several Henderson warehouse men are attending a meeting in Richmond this week-end to dis cuss proposals relative to selling conditions this fall, which will be presented to the U. S. Tobacco As sociation meeting at White Sul phur Springs the last of June. ? Fred M.
