Two Cases Compromised Brawley Heirs Gets $3,060 From Wallace Bulding Owners C. V. Crowell of Spencer en tered a plea of guilty in Superior court Here last week on 11 counts in the bill of indictment charging him with embezzlement of approximate ly $2,600 from 1927 to 193 5 while serving as secretary-treasurer of the Central Labor Savings & Loan as sociation of Spencer. The case was compromised with Crowell agreeing to pay $1,5 00 by the May term of Superior court and the costs. Final judgment He rendered then. The $100,000 suit by the execu tors of the estate of Dr. Mason B. Brawley against the owners of the Wallace building here which was docketed for trial was compromised by the defendants paying $3,000. The suit, filed some time ago, .alleged among other things that a small elevator which was used by occupants of the building at night was not of modern safety, includ ing the approaching light from the main entrance. Dr. Brawley, a widely known specialist here, fell through the shaft on the night of Novembet 20, 1934, while the elevator was at another floor and died a wetk ]at.** from the injuries. He had living quarters on the upper floor of the office building the largest here which is located at the intersection of Main and Innes streets. PENSION PLAN HELD ILLEGAL Oklahoma City.—(Governor E W. Marland, his $30-a-month ole age pension program trumped bj the Oklahoma Supreme court, lec back with a $15 plan. With an eight to one decision, the high court today held illegal Mar land’s finesse last September in which the governor ordered the old age pension initiative measure placed on the ballot without wait ing for the secretary of state to de termine sufficiency of signatures to the petition. Marland was ready for the deci sion. He revealed that he had been at work for weeks on a new pen sion bill. He said it would con form to the Federal pension re quirements for $15 monthly pay ments. Ihus, he said, though the $30 state pension is dead, the aged still will get that amount monthly if state voters will approve his new measure. The state would pay $1$, the Federal government $15. "It may be best to submit it,” the governor said, "without a reve nue measure and provide for pay ments to be met by funds in the treasury not otherwise appropriat ed.” The gross income tax on state businesses of one-eighth to two per cent, provided in the $3 0 pension law, brought on the court attacks. The governor did not appear downcast by the decision, The tax commission was not so happy. In its vaults it held nearly $6,000 in license taxes already col lected under the inpalidated pen sion law. It asked the Supreme Court to expand its opinion—tell it what to do with the money. Doctors have devised an electric needle said to be able to restore life if used in a few minutes after death. | DEATHSI MRS. O. C. WINDERS Mrs. O. C.

He hurriedly bundled up Vernon Daughtry, his patient who had been threatened! with pneumonia, put him in his automobile, and turned back to the blazing house. A freezing wind fanned the flames and Mrs. Daughtry became excited. Several times she carried belongings from the house and then started in again.

Laxative combination i”olks know is trustworthy The confidence thousands of par ents have in good, old reliable, pow dered Thedford’s Black-Draught has prompted them to get the new Syrup of Black-Draught for their children. The grown folks stick to the pow dered Black-Draught; the youngsters probably will prefer it when they outgrow their childish love of sweets. Mrs. O. W. Adams, of Murray, Ky., writes: “I have used Thedford’s Black-Draught (powder) about thir teen years, taking it for biliousness. Black-Draught acta well and I am always pleased with the results. I wanted a good, reliable laxative for my children. I have found Syrup of Black-Draught to be just that.” BLACK-DRAUGHT DAMAGE GREAT TO STATE ROADS (Continued from page One) "This is an abnormal condition and the abnormal damange is not pe culiar to the highways. The dam age to all classes of exposed prop erties is perhaps as relatively great as highway damage. "Farm drainage has Ibeen dis rupted, buildings have been un roofed, fences blown down, and pipes frozen and burst. Telephon* telegraph and power lines hav6 called for unusual repairs. Indus trial plants have fought the ele ments with extra costs in fuel and repairs and interruption of busi ness. "If the highway system, repre senting an investment of more than $300,000,000, completely exposed to the elements and bearing up a traffic more destructive by reason of its weakened condition, can be restored to anything like normal for one per cent of its construc tion I think we are lucky.” Cleveland Route 2 Miss Sadie Wilhelm, a member I of the Liberty school faculty, near Greensboro, has been at home for the past week and half.
