automobile and headed west
ward, Intending to “ditch” the
car and its gruesome burden in
California and flee to the Orient.

stores and a restaurant In Den
ver, obtaining $41 to help finance
his strange trip.

Salt Lake City, leaving the auto
mobile and its ghastly cargo
parked in the street.

sengers in Salt Lake City, agree
ing to take them to the coast for
$6 each.
5. Sent a telegram from Elko,
Nev., to Brown's father, Roy

.\ltanta, Ga., Feb. 6.—The
operation of the newly organized
production credit associations in
the South Atlantic States last
year was marked by a success un
excelled in any other section of
the country, C. G. Garman, of the
Farm Credit Administration, said
in an address before the Agri
cultural Workers Conference
here.
In Georgia, the Carolinas and
Florida, comprising the third
Farm Credit Administration dis
trict. Mr. Garman said the num
ber of borrowers served was far
larger than any other district in
the country and that so far not
ii single southern association had
suffered an impairment of capi
tal or loss to borrowers because
of unsound loans. Over !)7 per
cent of the matured installments
on 1934 production loans in the
Columbia district have been
paid. Mr. Carman said.
‘•In the South Atlantic States
and in llie Soiitli generally a
lai'.ger percentage of small farm
ers are being served by the pro
duction credit associations than
in any other section of the coun
try, as indicated by the size of
loans and by the number made,’’
the Farm Credit .Administration
official declared.
.Mr. Garman said that about
30.900 loans have been made in
the four states, the average size
of which is about $300. The to
tal amount loaned by the associa
tions during the past year was
more than $9,000,000, a larger
amount, according to Mr. Gar
man. than in any other section
of the country except the Pacific
States, where a large amount of
range livestock financing i s
necessary.
“In contrast,” said Mr. Gar
man “to other attempted short
term loan systems for farmers,
the local nature of the produc
tion credit associations provides
direct loan service, creates a co
operative local responsibility and
a sounder credit basis.

Arley, Bng.7 Fsb.'
tonight had the word ''of John
Pnckdiing, who liked being dead
BO well he’s sorry they brought
him back to life, that everybody
Is "supremely happy” In the
world to come. ^
Jttckering’s picture of the
hereafter, as he saw it daring
four and one-half minutes his
heart was stopped while he lay
on an operating table, was paint
ed in these words:
“During those fire minutes or
so, I was worried and distnrbed.
Suddenly everything cleared and
I was filled with great content.
“I knew I was dead because I
saw many villagers of Arley
(where the ‘resurrected’ garden
er lives) I knew before they
died. They were all happy, and I
was, happy, too.”
“There were hundreds of smil
ing faces in a bank of hazy, shin
ing clouds,” Puckering asserted.
Dr. G. Perceval Mills, whose
-ii-*
massage of Purkering’s hegrt
gave the gardener his nnuanal
opportunHy to. bear ^witness to
the after death, ' insisted there
was nothing out of the ordinary”
about the matter. '
He added, reluctantly:
“Yes, it is unusual tor a man’s
heart to stop and tor the man
to come back to life.”
Assured by -bis physician that
he is “doing well,” Puckering
was going about his market gar
dening just as he did before the
three-quarter hour operation
that resulted, in his temporary
death.
The thousands of happy peo
ple be saw, among whom were
old acquaintances, all “seemed
to be in a big hall with pillars
of cloud and all mixed up in a
sort of hazy light,” he saiL
“I . was drifting toward them
when suddenly everything went
black. They had brought me
back to life.’’

Justices Is Cast Aside
Roosevelt to Pick Men On
Ability, Not Their Politics
Raleigh, Feb. 8. — Coming
down the home stretih in its
fifth week here, the General As
sembly today balked and shied
before taking some of its legis
lative barriers.
The House, in anything but a
cherubic humois knocked over
two measures, refused another,
and accepted a fourth only after
debating coyly. This last was a
local bill of Representative Bai
ley of Haywood to increase the
pay of school bus drivers in his
county, which passed 76 to 20.
after considerable debate.
In the Senate, the state liquor
control measure of Senator Hill
of Durham was introduced but
without the expected signatures
of several other senators. Out
side of receiving this bill, the
upper House did little, carrying
over all but one of the five mea
sures on its public calendar.
First of the two House bills to
suffer defeat was a measure of
Representative^ Hauser of For
syth providing lor the election
of three justices of the peace in
each township, with one addition
al for each 10,000 population up
to a maximum of five. The bill
was shot to pieces with county-
exempting amendments before it
was finally tabled.
A bill by Representative Wil
liams of Hyde imposing manda
tory sentences of seven to CO
days and fines of $1 to $.500 tor
drunken drivers met the same
fate. Before it was tabled, Rep-
resntativo Vann of Hertford had
offered an amendment limiting
its application to drivers involv
ed in accidents' in “serious in
jury or damage to property.”
