Gold Mining Hit New Peak In 1935 New York—A flood of new] gold, so vast that yellow metal raining pafsed the billion dlollarj mark for the first time last year,; with a promise of mounting vol-j ume for years, was reported to the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers here. At the session on mineral eco nomics John J. Croston, Boston mining engineer, reported the 193 5 gold mining high mark. The Unit ed States, South Africa, Russia and Canada were the main producers. As an indication of what is to come, Croston cited the Witwer straned gold area in South Africa. This region already has 3 5 large mines. But 14 new companies, an in crease of more than one third, are now engaged in large-scale develop ment in that area, Croston said. "It is expected,” he explained, "that these new companies will spend over $11,000,600 before reaching production, will employ 15.000 white men and 135,000 na tives and will produce about 3, 500.000 ounces of gold annually more than the United States and Canada produce at present.” Last year, with its billion dollar gold record, sow an increase in mined gold of more than 30,000, 000 ounces, 10 per cent over 1934. In this rise South Africa was first, Russian second, the United States third, Canada fourth. Australia is expected to join the gold procession with new mines now under development, Croston said. Discovery was reported of hun dreds of new commercial uses for diatomite, a white brick-like mate rial which formed millions of years ago when California was at the bottom of the sea. The diatomite is the bodies of masses of diatoms, shelled crea tures the size of pin points, which live in all oceans, ancient and modern. These shells, pressed into a solid mass of almost pure dia toms are found near Lompoc, Cal. Henry Mulryan, of Lompoc, said the outstanding use is as filter material for chemical processes. Diatomite is used to add smooth ness to concreate and asphalt pave ments, in paints and polishes, in bricks and in building insulation materials. Bachelor Is Voted Most Hen-Pecked Man In Town Kinston—A bachelor has beer declared the most henpecked man ir Trenton. Word from the Jone: county town was that the Woman’; club set out to pick the most hen pecked man in the community The selection was by ballot, and th< ballot box was placed in Miltot Hines’ drug store. Women anc girls congregate in the store after noons and evenings, after the small town fashion. Some one thought of Hines. "Why* he’s the most i hen-pecked man in town, a matron , recalling how many little imposi : tions he had to endure. "So he is,” agreed another club woman. Hines said he wasn’t a candidate. The woman said he had to be a candidate. He won hands down at the end of balloting lasting sev eral days. He was presented a far, com placent Plymouth Rock rooster. Sheriff John Creagh and other nominees congratulated themselves Substitute Teacher Pay Action Delayed Raleigh.—The state school com mission deferred action until the next school year on the petition of classroom teachers in North Caro lina for reduction in the pay of substitute teachers with the dif ference to go to the regular teach ers when they are out because of illness. The action was taken after about 3 0 minutes of debate. The substance of petitions filed with the commis sion members was to effect a reduc tion of $2 per day in the way of substitutes who fill in for regular teachers. The present basis is 75 per cent to the substitutes with 25 per cent to regulars when they are ill. The matter will be taken up by the commission at its July meeting when plans will be made for 1936 37. Decision was reached to ask the division of purchase and contract to] secure bids on school buses with a view of purchasing from 400 to 500. The commission would buy as many buses as it has funds available, probably 400, and coun ties are expected to purchase some. M. C. Caddell was approved as city superintendent of schools in Wadesboro. W. Henry Overman was approv ed as Gates county superintendent to succeed H. C. Sawyer, who was killed recently in an automobile accident. The matter of a claim in Sawyer’s death was referred to the state industrial commission for consideration. Record Set By Train To Florida New York—When the farfuliar cry of the stat on-master "All Ab oard” rang through the Pennsyl vania station here an unprecedented crowd of Florida-bound travelers surged forward looking for their transportation—the first step to ward a place in the sun. Five sections of the "Florida Special” of the Atlantic Coast Line were required to handle the heavy Florida traffic. This establishes a record for train travel to a given resort sec tion, as, according to William Benke, division passenger agent, within four days not less than six teen heavy sections of the "Florida Special” will be run to Miami. The popularity of this train is due in large measure to the recrea tion car, with music, dancing, bridge, etc.—all supervised by a charming hostess, who makes the 27 3-4 hour trip from New York to Miami a most enjoyable one. INQUISITIVENESS REWARD ED An inquisitive old lady was being shown over one of Uncle Sam’s new warships. "Tell me!” she asked, "haven’t you ever had any narrow escapes from drowning?” "Yes, lady,” replied her guide. "One time when I was visiting my sister in Washington I went to sleep in the bathub and forgot to turn off the water.” ******** * TAILLESS CATS * - * * Isle of Man, British Isles— * * Cats without tails are still the * * chief export of this tiny self- * * governing island in the Irish * * Sea. » * Worldwide demand for the * * tabbies has increased, and last * * year a considerable number * * were sent to the United * ’’'States. * * Many cats reputedly bri.ig * * good luck.

C.,—The Tri-State Medical Association received a sug gestion that criminals be used for experimental purposes in studying pellagra. Dr. Beverley Randolph Tucker of Richmond, Va., professor at the Medical College of Virginia, pre cipitated lively debate among the 300 delegates from the Carolinas and Virginia^ in convention here when he advanced the suggestion for human experiments. Pellagra, a skin disease, annually causes from 6,000 to 7,000 deaths in the South. , Dr. Tucker advocated that con victs volunteering to act as "hu man guinea pigs’ be rewarded activities. He said the disease is generally not fatal if subjected to the proper control and the prisoners would recover. Tucker poined out recent menin gities research work in St. Louis as an example in which convicts were used for experimental purposes. The paper by Dr. Tucker which advanced the suggestion expressed the view that pellagra was probably a virus infection. He compred pellagra with other virus diseases, such as small pox, encephalitis and infantile paralysis. The facts were based on an in vestigation in the Southern States which showed the deaths from pel lagra in he Sbuth were far more during the years of prosperity, 1926-29, than in the subsequent depression. Convict Weds At Sea New York—A shipboard mar riage between Lawardus Gerhardt Borgart, thirty-seven, deported con vict, and Miss Emma Callmeyer, Park avenue domestic, whose "sight unseen” romance blossomed from a 14-year correspondence, was dis closed by Capt. John Jensen, master of the liner President Roosevelt. The captain said he performed the marriage two days out of Eng land. The couple had not met un til January 22, the day before the ship sailed with Borgart, under de portation to his native Holland, and Miss Callmeyer, who is ten years older than Borgart. The captain said he had a long talk with the couple before the ceremony. "I yielded, but not until I thought it would be the right course. That Borgart fellow is all right. The crime for which he was sentenced so long a time would not have been held a crime in Holland. Undoubtedly he was impetuous, but not a criminal.” Borgart was convicted in 1921 of an attack on an Army nurse while he was a private in the Fifty-eighth United States Infantry at Camp Lewis,, Washington. He was sen tenced to life in Leavenworth Pris on. Baby Suit Stalls Chicago—Modern science may be involved to determine whose baby th?<ee-and-one-half-year-old "Sonny Boy”— resolutely claimed by an unmarried mother, and just as resolutely by a widowed physi cian—really is. Between the stories of Miss Mar garet Mann, who declared the baby is Reginaud Mann, her son, and Dr. Gordon Mordoff, who said "Sonny Boy” was born to his late wife, Superior Judge Rudolph F. Desort declined to make an immediate choice. Instead, he said he may order both claimants subjected to lie de tector tests and possibly to blood tests berfore settling the strange case of the disputed youngster. "Nailing herself on the cross,” as her attorney described it, Miss Mann testified in Judge Desort’s crowded courtroom that the child was born in a Chicago orphanage, the son of a man she declined to name. The girl testified: "Mrs. Modoff advertised she would board a baby. And I paid $5 a week to Miss Edith Ode, a nurse who lived with Mrs. Modoff.” SPANKS GIRL WITH HOT PAN Los Angeles—For spanking her 9-year-old step-daughter with a hot frying pan, Mrs. Mary Higuera was sentenced to serve 180 days in jail and placed on two years probation. Justice of the Peace M. B. Marion of Belvedere township suspended half the sentence. Colored Man Is Killed By Train Aron A. McMillan, colored, a yard laborer for the Southern at the Spencer shops, was found dead yes terday morning about 7:30 o’clc .<_ under the tender of a switch engine on the tracks of the railrad near the transfer shed. Seth Parker, who had gotten out of the cab to oil the engine found the body with the head decapitated. A change in the crew had been made a short time before, the engi neer being J. L. Mahaley and the conductor, C. A. Surratt. It is believed that McMillan, who was waiting for the shop train from Salisbury, was on his way to the transfer shed to keep warm. He was somewhat of a cripple and it is believed he fell for some un known reason. Blood was found on the end of one of the cars attached to the switch engine, indicating that he was likely struck by this car. He had been employed by the Southern for the past eighteen years, and was a resident of East Spencer. Dr. Walter L. Tatum, coroner, and Sheriff J. H. Krider investi gated the matter and stated that no inquest was necessary. “Our Bob” Asked To Change Weather Washington—Senator Robert R. "Our Bob” Reynolds plowed his car through 14 inches of snow to reach his office at the capitol one morn ing. Finally, he was at his desk, but only after wishing several times he was at his home in the "Sunny South.” There was waiting for him, how ever, a telegram from "constitu ents” in Asheville which caused him to wonder if his steam-heated and palatial offices at the capitol were not a good place to be. The telegram read: "Report is that you passed leg islation making February 2 official groundhog day. The son-of-agun froze to death before he could re treat to his hple. Respectfully re quest you immediately introduce necessary legislation causing the weather to moderate. Behind with our fishing. "Constituents.” Maine Governor Compares Notes Jacksonville, Fla.,—Governor Louis Hi Brawn, of Maine, said his states summer tourist business and Florida’s winter vacationists are clear manifestations of a return of prosperity. His state is enjoying a "reason able degree of prosperity,” the ex ecutive, on an automobile trip to Florida, with Mrs. Brawn, told Mayor John T. Asloy, of Jackson ville. The governor compared the agri cultural staple of Maine—the pota to—with Florida’s citrus market and said these products and tour ists Lave direct relation with im proved conditions in the two states at opposite ends of the Atlantic seaboard. ^ JayhawkOitfS Jja*{ WASHINGTON . . .

The wee boy now tips the scales at eight pounds, although on Feb rurary 26 he will be one year and three months old. At birth weighed three and one-fourth pounds, but his growth in recent months is said to have been almost imperceptible. Doctors, according to the father, confess themselves puzzled as to the cause of the infant’s failure to grow. His appearance today is about the same as a new-born baby. However, the little fellow is declar ed to be "healthy” in that he is never apparently sick and continues to take his milk regularly. Mrs. McLean Confers On Bruno Case Washington.—A drawing room of one of the capital’s most fashion able homes buzzed Saturday with details of the Hauptmann case as Samuel Leibowitz, noted New York criminal lawyer, and Mrs. Lvalyn Walsh McLean discussed the German carpenter’s fate be hind closed Jo.'.rs. Leibowitz, accompanied by his wife, and Robert W. Hicks, Wash ington criminologist, arrived here late Saturday and immediately went to the home of Mrs. McLean, Washington socialite, whose initial interest in the disappearance of the Linbergh baby cost her $104, 000 in a cruel hoax perpetrated by Gaston B. Means, now serving a penitentiary sentencce. The New Yorker revealed that this is his second interview with Mrs. McLean in connection with the Hauptmann case. He said "money has not been mentioned by either of us.” blaze Uvercome With Ingenuity Of Fire-Fighter Dunn.—Members of the Dunn fire department are a resourceful lot, especially Assistant Chief Otis Warren who believes in tha< "Veni, Vidi, Vici” business like Caesar did. Recently the department answer ed an alarm taking them to a house some 500 yards distant from th; nearest fire hydrant. The blaze was too much for the chemical en gine and to stretch a hose that distance would take too much time —the house would burn down. Near the house was a ditch with running water. Warren had the ditch damned up then a drain cut from the house back to the ditch and a suction hose thrown in. The pumping engine was started up and soon the fire was extinguished. The arrangement made is possible to use the water over and over again since as fast as the engine played it on the house it drained back into the dammed up ditch and was used again. • Buy In "Greater Salisbury”.

Thompson spent Friday in Roanoke, Va. The Misses jBargers spent the week end with Mrs. J. A. Fink. Messrs Bost, Myers, Carter, Wood, Lyerly, Thompson and Barber visited Geo. F. Powlas the sixteenth. Hints To Gardeners ** by Lyman White Flower Expert Ferry Seed In$titute For Early Flowers EARLIER blooming of some of the popular garden flowers may be obtained by planting them indoors about six weeks before they are to be set out in the open. They should be placed outdoors, of course, only after the ground has warmed and all danger of frost is past. A few of the flowers which may he planted early indoors include the delphinium, pink, gaillardia, lobelia, myosotis, pansy, Iceland poppy, salvia, stock and verbena. The following may be planted in doors a week or two later: Ager atum, snapdragon, aster, dahlia, nicotiana, petunia, phlox drurn mondi, salpiglossis, scabiosa and vinca rosea. Seed of these flowers may be ob tained at your corner store at a sufficiently early date to allow you to give them an inside start. Seed of other favorites, which may be procured at the same time but which should be saved for later outside planting, include the sweet alyssum, calendula, calliopsis, candy tuft, four o’clock, marigold and nas turtium. These are earlier and faster growing than the others. For the inside planting, fill a cigar box or florist’s “flat” with good, rich loam, covering the seeds with a thin sprinkling of soil. The boxes should have small holes (about quarter-inch in diameter) in the bottom so they may be set jn water and the soil inoistene by absorption. If the small plants are too thick, some should be picked out. The boxes should be placed in a sunny window and kept at a temperature of around 70 degrees. If desired, the small plants may be transplanted to pots or other larger containers. Before setting outdoors they should be “hardened off,” placed outdoors in the shade si) or eight mild days. Old Dominion House Adopts Racing Bill Richmond, Va,—The house of delegates, in a liberal mood, voted to legalize horse racing, pari-mutuel betting and Sunday sports while the senate refused to engross the Parker bill to prohibit the sale of beer on Sunday. The house also passed, in a busy session, the senate bill strengthening enforcement of the alcoholic bever age control act after incorporating in it the provision for distribution of 5 per cent of the state’s liquor profits to localities with liquor stores for law enforcement—the same provision in the recently pass ed Daugherty-McCue bill. Horse racing enthusiasts were not quite ready to cry "they’re off,” however, for the bill passed 45 to 41, and the companion measure, establishing a racing commission, providing how the races are to be held and for regulation of tracks, requires 51 votes because of an ap propriation feature and is still pending on the calendar.
