I The King in Danger
Wild Wall Street
Old, Dead, Rich
America’s Big Five
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
Bad news about King George,
the doctor’s latest bulletin brings
deepest anxiety. They do not dare
attempt an operation that was
contemplated, because of the old
King’s weakness.
Insurance companies charging
90 per cent to insure the King’s
life for a few weeks, evidently had
y- """mation more exact than that
To the public, by the doctors.
Another wild Wall street day,
lambs and spectators learning by
experience.
It doesn’t do the “sold out”
gamblers any good, but ancient
wise ones say “The market has be
haved well under the circumstan-
CCS.
With a million ignoramuses buy
ing. without knowing why, and sel
ling in panic, it is a marvel that
conditions are not worse. But the
fulrry is not ended.
Atlantic City police found a
dead man, very old and near his
body SIOO,OOO of hoarded money,
small bags filled with gold, crum
pled. faded bank notes.
The world, wondering much,
thinking little, wonders “what
comfort that old man could find
in the money.
Ask some poor old man not yet
dead, depending on cold charity
or on relatives that are indiffer
ent. He will tell you what com
fort the old man of Atlantic City
found in the possession of SIOO,-
000. The money made him INDE
PENDENT, a free man. Poverty is
slavery. Save something.
Will Rogers selects an “All-Am
erican team” of ability, as follows: I
Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford,
Herbert Hoover, John D. Rocke
feller, Jr., and Lindbergh.
He probably leaves out the ab
lest man in the country, as yet un
known. That’s fortunate, for it
means we have reserves.
Rogers would have these five
men run the country, “move Than
ksgiving Day up to election and do
away with elections entirely.”
The plan would work, of course.!
The original John D. Rockefeller!
•could have done the job alone j
when he was younger. He would
have known how to select the men.
But the people must plan to
govern themselves as babies must
learn to walk, no matter how bad
ly they do it at first. If you always
hired a man to push your baby a
round in a wagon, the baby would
n’t develop.
Thomas Moran, known to the
police as “Red,” killed two police
men. He felt that he had to live, i
crime was the path he chose. He
killed two trying to remain alive. ;
Sentenced to the electric chair,;
“Red” will be killed in his turn, j
day after tomorrow. Keepers are j
watching him closely to thwart his i
attempts to kill himself.
First, he killed that he might
live. Now he tries to kill him
self that the electric chair may
not kill him. Strange animals are
human beings, from the gang
men and his retail murderers to j
the giant killer, Napoleon, who al
ways carried poison with him.
Phillip Challenger, from Santa
Barbara and Chicago, recently em
ployed as a Chicago reporter for
$lB a week, now is planning to
spend SI,OOO a day.. His grand
father left him $6,000,000. Wiser
than many, the young man decides
to study archeology, and invites a
scientist to accompany him on his
travels around the world. Os
course he decided to kill big game.
When in doubt, prosperous human
beings, male and female, always
seem to “kill big game.”
If you heard that a young lion,;
inheriting money, immediately de- ;
cided to kill big men, we would all i
say, “Queer lion.”
However, it is a providential ata- ,
vistic impulse, dating far back. The \
right kind of man wanted to kill •
big animals because big animals
menaced the existence of the hu- i
man race a million years ago. They \
don’t any more. Small microbes
menace us now. (
The beautiful vineyards of Sax- ‘
ony, producing magnificent wines, j
ever since the eleventh century, j
were attacked recently and com-1
pletelv destroyed by a malignant
disease of the vine. Earnest pro
hibitionists will say, “There’s the
hand of Providence.” The hand
of man, however, has conquered
the disease, with the aid of vigor
ous vines, imported from America,
and Saxony’s vineyards flourish
once more.
That prohibition America should
renew the vineyards of old Europe
is interesting. Can it be that Pro
vidence thinks wine is all right for
countries that know how to use it
temperately?

Officers Make Many
Successful Raids
Several Makers and Dealers in
Booze Will Christ
mas Dinner in Jail
Several men who thought to sup
| ply money for their Christmas needs
! by the making and sale of booze
have found themselves in limbo and
will spend Christmas in Mr. John
, Burns’ boarding house hardby the (
county court house.
Crutchfield, Harris and others, of
Last Friday, Officers Pickett,
Siler City, made a raid in the Brush
Creek section, where they captured
a still of To gallons capacity, got
about 80 gallons of liquor and de
j stroyed 1,500 gallons of beer, or
I move. Sunday, Mr. Pickett led a
j raid into the section two miles west i
of Siler City and captured a still
and poured out much booze. A ne
gro, Jordan, was captured at the
first still. A second negro got a
way. The second still was not in
j operation, the beer not being in
prime.
Sunday, too Sheriff Blair and bis
comrades found Garrett Marsh, col
ored, opportunely stuck in a ditch I
and seized his good Hudson car. j
which contained four or five gallons
of liquor. He is in jail awaiting the I
January term of court.
That same day the officers got |
hold of Nuby Johnson, who had
skipped bond twice and was wanted
for some time. He was finally lo
cated under a bed at the home of
Mrs. Bill Burns, the Record is in

DEATH OF YOUTH
In the early afternoon of Dec. 4,
1928 the spirit of John A. Burke, son
of J. W. and Fannie Burke took its
everlasting flight and went Home to
the Sinless Summer Land of eternal
day. He was just 18 years old and
a senior in the Goldston High School,
but God willed that he should enter
that university of Heaven which has !'
no end. _ •
John A. was a favorite in school,
beloved by those of his own com
munity, and a noble example of
truthfulness and gentlenesfc. His
was an incurable disease and he suf
fered intensely, yet not a word of
complaint, nor a murmur, nor any
sigh of impatience came from him.
He greeted everyone with a smile
and bore his suffering like a Christ-'
i ian hero.
j We cannot understand why one so
! young and good should be taken;
; we do know that all things work to
i gether for good to those who love
God. Two years ago he joined the
Bear Creek Baptist Church, and
loved his church and Sunday School.
In the last weeks and hours he
sDoke of his spiritual condition, and
his last testimonies were beautiful
and no doubt made a great impres
sion. There was not a cloud nor ‘
a doubt in his spiritual sky, for it
was clear and bright as the sun at
| noonday.
| The funeral service was held at
: the Elkin Graveyard by his pastor,
Rev. John Kidd. The members of
the graduating class and Boy Scoults
j acted as pall-hearers, and the flow
j er girls were members of the grad
| uating class.
We know our loss is His gain and
to Him we say, “Thy will de done.”
Farmer Charged
With the Killing ,
of His Own Mule
|
Hezekiiah Eubanks Haled before
Court on Charge of Cruelty
to Animals
’Squire Lysander Johnson’s court
was called in extraordinary session
last Thursday evening, after supper,
for a preliminary hearing of a
charge against Mr. Hezekiah Eu
banks, a farmer living two miles
from Pittsboro, for killing his mule.
! But the hearing did not take place.
! Mr. Eubanks, through his counsel D.
j L. Bell, waived the hearing and was
j bound over to court.
Mr. Eubanks, when asked about j
I the death of the mule, said that the j
| mule bad choked it»«l/ fee death. He ;
, had left it tied by the side of the j
road. He was not very communica- j
\ tive. but denied killing the mule. J
. The story of the witnesses as j
rumored is to the effect that the j
( fule, which Eubanks was riding, j
dodged and like Balaam of old, the
! rider whacked him, in this case over j
j the head with a plowpoint. His mule- j
: ship, unlike the one of Biblical fame,
I didn’t answer with words, but re
senting the blow just the same,
pitched his rider off. Thereupon,
the rider rose and beat the offender
to death.
But it was a e-ood mule, however
it died, and Mr. Eubanks’ loss is se
vere, without the discredit of beat
ing him to death and having to an
swer in court to the charge. The
January term of court will reveal
the situation more clearly. In the
meantime, Mr. Eubanks is without
a mule to feed and will at plow time j
be short of one to plough.

SURVIVORS TELL
HARROWING STORY
OF VESTRIS WRECK
Many Lose Lives In Ship
wreck Caused By Cap
tain’s Stubbornness
NEGRO STOKER IS HERO
A harrowing story of the re
cent wreck of the Vestris,
which sunk off the Virginia
coast, is told by R. P. Harris,
brother of Mrs. L. P. Tyson, of
Carthage, in the Baltimore
Sun. He is a reporter on The
bun ana shortly after the dis
aster he was sent to Old Port
Comfort, Virginia, to meet the
survivors picked up by the
U. S. S. Wyoming.
Laments, sobs and incoherent
phrases of thanks and relief ming
led with bitter recriminations as
eight survivors of the foundered
steamship Vestris, who were res
cued by the United States ship,
Wyoming, Mr. Harris wrote, arriv
ed at Old Point Comfort. They
were met by navy officials and
hospital attendants.
A black-haired little Japanese
lady of high station, the wife of
Major Yohsio Inouya, was praying
to die as, with face covered, she
was carried in a stretcher to the
hospital preparatory to removal to
the Navy Hospital.
Her husband had died as she
vainly tried to keep him clinging
! to a bit of wreckage.
Other Women Survivors
; The other women among the
eight survivors were:
Mrs. Marie Ulrich fspelled Oel
rich previously), a German wo
man whose address is at present
338 East Ninety-sixth street, New
York City.
Mrs. Marian Calvin Batteh, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., whose husband
died in her arms.
Mrs. Elvira Fernandez Rua, who
gave her address as 8 McCabe
street, New Bedford, Mass.
Mrs. Dolores Barrerro Doril, a
Spanish woman, whose American
address is 22 Union street, Brook
lyn.
Relatives Were Lost
Mrs. Rua lost her husband. Mrs.
Ulrich’s husband was picked up by
another rescue vessel, but her son
was lost.
With blackened eyes, bruises and
other injuries whiefh included one
fractured skull and severe cuts, five
bluejackets, members of the Wy
oming’s crew who were injured in
a gale when the ship was proceed
ing to the rescue, were taken from
the ship in stretchers.
Negro Aided Women
Three Negroes, all West Indians,
who were among the survivors,
were in good condition, although
one of their number, Gerald Bur
ton, had remained in the water for
twenty hours without a life pre
server. He practically supported
two of the women on a bit of wrec
kage.
“We have nothing but the high
est praise for this good fellow and
the other two Negroes,” the ship’s
doctor and other officers declared. !
The doctor said that, aside from j
severe bruises and danger of pneu- i
monia from exposure, the women |
were unhurt.
“This Heah Is Me”
The other two Negroes were Ger
ald Burton and John Morriss. A
touch of grim humor was added to
the disaster when one of the Ne- j
groes came out of a stupor, felt one !
of his teeth and said: “This heah ;
is me.”
He explained that the tooth had
been loose before the disaster and
finding it still loose, he thus iden
tified himself.
Two of the women were able to
walk. They were dressed in non
descript costumes donated by the
sailors.
Sea-Valve Blame#
A report made out by Vice- Ad- 1
mlral M. M. Taylor stated that ao
parently a cracked sea valve lead
ing to the ash hop of the Vestris
started the trouble that resulted in
the ship’s .doom. *
According to the stokers, the j
valve was cracked before the Ves- j
tris left Hoboken for her run to !
South America. There had even j
been some question as to whether
or not she would sail, the stokers
said.
Ships Could Have Aided
The Wyoming’s officers stated
that many ships could have stood
by, even without the necessity of
sending an S. O. S. had Captain
Carey, of the Vestris, used the ne
cessary foresight on Monday.
The fireroom of the Vestris was I
flooded first of all, the stokers
claiming that they stood kneetieep
in water until the ship listed so
badly that they were in danger of
being drowned.
Say Hatch Gave Way
When the ship listed, the stokers
said, in a storm Sunday night a
coaling hatch on the starboard side
gave v/ay, allowing water to rush
in. The storm opened up a seam
for a second leak and some crated
motor trucks then shifted their po
sition, pitching the? ship on her
beam’s end.
A crated truck then crashed thru
a bulkhead, breakng through into
Influenza Causes
Close Os Schools
» Several of the colleges of the
state closed temporarily last week
because of prevalence of influenza
a.nd in precaution of a more serious
epic.emic. The Chatham county
schools held on all last week, but
the Pittsboro school closed Monday
at noon. Principal Waters reporting
i 100 pupils absent on account
of illness, mostly country pupils.
Dr. Thomas, county physician, has
been reported as saying that there
are many cases near Siler City. Mr.
H. O. Kelly reported Monday that
a large part of the children of his
district in the northeastern part of
the county were sick. Dr. Edwards,
of Siler City, stated to the writer
Monday that he had advised a con
tinuance of the Siler City school
till the regular time for dismissal
for the Christmas holidays, saying
that there were reported to be on 1 **
f >ur of the hight school department
out of school for illness, and that
part of those other grades absent
had not attended because of the
rainy weather Friday and Monday.
It seems that the disease is more
prevalent in the farming sections
than in the towns. Comparatively
little effect has been felt in Pitts
boro, though Mrs. Horton and Mrs.
Coitrane, teachers in the school, are
J reported ill at this writing.
The malady in most cases report
■ ed is not serious,, though M'r. Nor- j
! ris Whitt is said to have died of'
| pneumonia following influenza.
j Meeting of P. T. A.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the P T. A., the first Friday night
in December, Mrs. R. H. Hayes re
ported that the health committee
had been delightfully entertained at
the home of Mrs Lyndo Johnson. At
this meeting it was decided to do
nate to the school, paper towels,
sanitary towel containers, and wire
baskets for used towels for use in
the first aid room and at the base
ment. Seventeen dollars had been
spent for needed school supplies by
this committee.
Dr. R. M. Farrell reported a bal
ance in the treasury of $17.00 He
had paid out $142.93 for the Asso
ciation.
The president announced a gift
for the library from Miss Maggie
Horne —“The Life of Aycock.”
Mr. Waters spoke on the needs of
the elementary school. He explained
where the school would have to be
built up to meet the requirements of
standardization. Miss Fulghum,
the state inspector, had estimated
the cost at $600.00 The Association
decided that the undertaking was too
much for 1928 but that everything
spent should be with the view of
meeting requirements as soon as
possible. Two things were done at
this meeting:
The Association, the State, the
County appropriated $50.00 each to
buy elimentary books.
2. It was decided to make the
basement rooms of the school ouild
ing comfortable and attractive.
A committee was appointed to see
that this is done at once. The com
mittee is composed of Mrs. Ec Hin
ton, chairman, Mrs. Bell, Mrs fan
cier Johnson, Mrs. Wateis.
The Association was pleased to
■ have Mr. E. R Franklin present at

ing to stories told the Wyoming of
dications were that they took the
lifeboats at about 1 o’clock. The
ship sank around 1:30, the officers
stated.
The Wyoming had been on her
way to target practice at the Sou
thern drill ground, when orders to
i proceed to the Vestris’ assistance
’ reached her. Full speed ahead was
as the reason for the disaster by
every officer and man questioned
aboard the Wyoming.
A radio message from the Coast
Guard cutter Yamacraw to the - 1
Coast Guard station at Cape Hen- j
;ry stated that the Yamacraw and j
the Goff,-the latter, a navy de
! stroyer, were alongside the lumber- ‘
i laden four-masted schooner, Heid

gene and no provisions on board.
Eight members of the schooner’s
crew were aboard. She was being
towed into Charleston by the Yam
acraw.
13 Bodies Picked Up
Commander C. F. Howell, chief
of staff to Capt. Phillip H. Scott,
• commanding officer of the Norfolk
I Coast Guard division, said that the
radio station could not confirm the
report that thirteen bodies had
been picked up by four Coast
ordered and the Wyoming butted
through the seas at eighteen knots
an hour.
“Criminal negligence” was given
Guard destroyers now proceeding
to New York from the search near
where the Vestris sank.
Three of the dead had been pos

| which convenes Monday, Jan. 14th.
Johnson has a long whiskey rec

several years ago, when whiskey
was found in his car. At the pre
liminary hearing he was released on
bond, but skipped his bond and fail
ed to appear for trial. His bonds
men were not worth the bond, so
all was a failure. Later he was ar
rested in Greensboro and sentenced
to 4 months on Guilford county
roads, at which time warrants were
held in both Moore and Chatham,
counties for him on similar charges.
Just five days before his time ex
pired, he ran away from the Guil
ford chain gang. About one year
