Committee Meets With En
gineering Company Engag
ed To Lay Off The Tract
Selecting A Name
Several Names Suggested; C.
C. Cranford Is Chairman;
Mayor A Member
Approval of the plans and lay
out of the new cemetery was made
by the cemetery committee at a
meeting Wednesday afternoon.
William M. Piatt and P. D. Davis,
of the Piatt Engineering Company
of Durham, were here to confer
with the committee, and a thorough
discussion of the new project took
place. The engineers will return
Tuesday, weather permitting, and
begin work on the cemetery.
The committee is now engaged
with the task of selecting a suit
able name for the cemetery. Sev
eral names are receiving consider
ation, the most popular of which
appears to be Oaklawn Cemetery,
since the entrance to the sloping
lawn of the cemetery grounds will
be flanked by two oak trees. There
is also considerable support for
calling it simply the city cemetery.
A decision is expected to be
reached by the committee on this
matter today. Members of this
committee are C. C. Cranford,
chairman, L. F. Ross, C. M. Fox,
Wiley A. Jones, and the mayor,
W. A. Bunch, as an ex officio mem
ber.
Error Is Made
On Lee’s Stamp
Demands at Washington for the
new memorial stamps bearing the
likenesses of Robert E. Lee and T.
J. (Stonewall) Jackson are still
heavy although a bright stamp ex
pert has noticed that Lee is pic
tured as only a lieutenant colonel,
t not as a general.
Soon after the post office issued
the new stamp honoring the Con
m~£edwmt0- general, a neHSaauer.
stamp editor pointed out that the
likeness of Lee had only two stars
on the coat collar. A Confederate
general should have three stars
and a wreath, the editor contended.
A check up by the government
found that the engraver had fol
lowed an original photograph sup
plied by August Dietz of Rich
mond, Virginia. One official ex
pressed the opinion that the miss
ing star might be around toward
the back of the collar and sug
gested looking for it on the back
of. the stamp.
J. O. Redding, Asheboro post
master, said this morning that the
local office does not yet have any
of these stamps, as they are sent
from Washington only upon receipt
of a requisition, and there has not
yet been sufficient demand to
justify his ordering any. If the
public seems interested in this is
sue he will attempt to have soine
put on sale here.

Bolton Turns Up
At Farmer Home
Cliff Bolton, catcher for the
Washington Senators, whose de
parture from the Senators’ winter
training camp at Orlando, Florida,
was a mystery for several days,
has turned up on his farm at
Farmer. Bolton left Orlando sup
posedly for nearby Sanford,
Florida, to give a sore arm a rest,
but instead he headed straight
home for Randolph county.
Cliff was slated to be the first
string catcher for Washington this
season and worked hard during
the winter to overcome an attack of
rheumatism and to get in the best
of condition. When he reported for
training it seemed that he was
cured, but instead his arm and
shoulder began to pain him. Since
he knew he wasn’t any good to the
club in his present shape, Bolton
determined to come home until he
was in shape.

While working on some graves
in the local cemetery Wednesday,
A. R. Tucker received a surprise.

Added Tax Of 20 Cents On
$100 Would Give Asheboro
Schools Extended Term
The cost of adding a ninth month
I and a twelfth year to the Asheboro
schools was placed at $8,000 by L.
F. Ross in an address before the
Parent-Teachers Association Mon
day evening, in which he challenged
the present generation to buikl as
well for the future as others have
done for us.
Mr. Ross pointed out that this
would necessitate an additional as
sessment of 20 cents on the hundred
dollars. He then went into some
detail to show what this would
mean to citizens having various
incomes—$2 for a man having an
income of $1,000, $10 for one~with
a $5,000 income, $20 for one whose
income was $10,000, and so forth
Rev. N. M. Harrison explained
that Asheboro now supplements
the state minimum by $1.48, but
that is all for school maintenance.
Asheboro receives from the state
$26.14 per pupil per year, which,
with the $1.48 added by the city,
makes a total of $27.62 for each
child in our schools for the year.
On the other hand the state ap
propriates for rural schools an
average of $28.50 per child per
year, and to this Randolph county
adds $2.92, making a total of
$31.40 for each child in the rural
schools in the county for the year.
Mr. Harrison gave the figures on
the supplements for many com
munities in this vicinity, showing
that all in Asheboro’s class provid
dcd a larger supplement, while
most of them provided twice as
much. Among these cities were
Burlington, $1.77; Lexington, $2.4S;
Greensboro, S5.86; High Point,
$5.59; Leaksville, $3.87; Reidsville,
$2.66; and Hamlet, $2.85. He also
pointed out that Montgomery coun
ty had a supplement of $7.48.
Mr. Harrison stated that Ashe
boro, with 13 percent of the coun
ty’s population, paid 23 percent of
the taxes for the entire county.
Asheboro also, pays twice as much
to the county supplement as to
her own supplement. (
As a result of these two talks j
the association voted to appoint a
committee to investigate the pos-'
sibility of securing an extended
school term for the Asheboro
schools.
Another important move made
by the P.-T. A. at this time was the
approval of a committee to try to
arrange for the appearance in
Asheboro of the North Carolina
Symphony Orchestra. It is under -
stood that the expense required to
bring the orchestra would be com
paratively slight, and the associa
tion feels that Asheboro should
have the opportunity to hear it.
A nominating committee, formed'
of Mrs. Kemp Alexander, chair
man, Dr. C. G. Smith, and Miss j
Clara Gill, was elected. The com
mittee will draw up a list of
nominations for next year and pre
sent it to the association at its
next regular meeting.
Two musical selections formed
the program of entertainment.
Lacy Lewis, Jr., played a piano
solo, “To Spring,” by Grieg; and
Mrs. Murray Field, Mrs. Franz
Strickland, and Miss Clara Gill
sang “Will You Remember?”
from “Maytime.”

Governor Plans
His Appointments
At An Early Date
Will Name Several Heads And
Committees Within The
Next Few Weeks
Liquor Board First
Highway Commission And
Head Will Not Be Neces
sary Until May First
According to statements to the
press of the state, it is the inten
tion of Governor Hoey to make the
appointments made necessary by
recent legislation of the state’s
general assembly, just as soon as
it is possible for him to do so.
“Now that the general assembly
hag adjourned, I expect to con1
centrate on these various appoin
tive positions created by it and to
announce my appointments as
rapidly as possible,” Governor
Hoey sa;d today.
“Since the state-wide liquor'
control law is already in effect,
I shall probably announce my re
lection of the chairman and the
two part-time members of the state
Alcoholic Eiverages Control board
among the first appointments I
shall make. I hope to reach a deci
sion with regard to these appoint
ments early in April.”
Governor Hoey declined to' give
any intimation, however, as to who
he expects to name chairman of
the ABC board or as to the two
members of the board.
Since the new highway commis
sion reorganization law goes into
effect May 1, the Governor must
appoint the eleven new members
of the commission, including a new
chairman, before that date. He in
dicated he would probably an
nounce his new highway commis
sion appointments about the last
week in April.
Kiwanis Meeting
Of Extra Interest
Dr. William H. Wrighton Of
Georgia University Is
Guest Speaker 4
Dr. WiHiam H. Wrighton, head
of the department of philosophy at
the University of Georgia, was the
speaker of the evening at the
Kiwanis Club meeting Tuesday. Dr.
Wrighton, who has been preaching
at services at the First M. E.
church this week, was introduced
by the Rev. Howard P. Powell,
whose guest he was. Reginald
Turner was in charge of the pro
gram. j
Dr. Wrighton, an Englishman by(
birth, discussed the courts and
legal procedure in England, com
paring them with American legal
practices. He brought out the fact
the British attitude toward law
differs from ours in being more
respectful.
Sentences are sterner, he said,
especially for minor crimes, em
phasizing that all offenses against
the law should be punished, re
gardless of whether the result of
the offense was serious or not. Dr.
Wrighton told of numerous cases
with which he had come in contact
where minor infractions had been
strictly prosecuted without any
difference being shown wealth or
family.
Clarence Hughes gave the news
report, a survey of the risipg farm
prices. Mr. Hughes also warned
business men against a group of
fake manufacturing firms which
have been working through the
Atlantic states and which seem to
be approaching North Carolina.

An Electrocution
May Be Necessary
If So, Will Cost The State Of
North Carolina The Sum
Of $2,500
A Negro Murderer
Committed Capital Offense
Prior To June 1935; From
Harnett County
After eulogizing the electric
chair and strewing flowers as it
I was used for the last time, the old
chair may again be in use—or some
electric chair, which will cost the
state of North Carolina $2,500.
JamesMcNeill, negro murderer,
will be sentenced to die by electro
Kjation, state, which^now,
executes ite. capital felons with 1
lethal gas, ka* no electric chair.
Already plans are underway to
rig up a makeshift electric chair,
at central prison for what guards
call “the most expensive execution
in history.”
W. L. Craven, bridge engineer
for the state highway and public
works commission, who is respon
sible for the prison’s death ma
chinery, said the job would cost
between $750 and $2,500.
Between 1910 and 1935, the state
employed an electric chair for ali
executions, but the 1935 general as
sembly substituted the gas chamber
for the old seat.
Under a law passed by that body,
all persons who committed capital
crimes after June 30, 1935 were to
die by gas. But persons who com
mitted capital crimes before that
date still were to be electrocuted.
When John Pressley, Bessemer
City negro, died by electricity on,
Friday, the 13th, last November,
the 26 year old chair claimed its
170th, and what prison officials
thought was its last, victim.
A few days later, the chair and
all its intricate appurtenances
were dismantled.
McNeill committed a first degree
murder in Harnett county during
the first half of 1935. He was im
properly sentenced in September of I
that'year to die by gas.
The state Supreme court re- ]
cently ruled there had been no j
error in the negro’s trial, but ord
ered that he be resentenced to die
by electricity.
Job Seekers In
N. C. Are Fewer
From the Raleigh office of the
State Employment Service comes
the report its file of active job
seekers dropped to 98,740 last

it had gone under 100,000.
There were 1,818 persons placed
in jobs during the week of March
13, the service said, including
1,053 active work.

Crop Insurance
Bill Is Approved
Expect Early Passage Of
$100,000,000 Measure After
Favorable Report
Create Reserve
Bill Would Protect Wheat
- Producers Against Loss
By Stabilizing Conditions
Senator Pope of Idaho, author of
the administration’s $100,000,000
crop insurance bill, expressed be
lief that the measure would be
passed by the senate within ten
days, as a result of the unanimous
ly favorable report given it by the
senate agricultural committee. One
amendment was adopted by the
committee in order to place the
proposed insurance corporation’s
personnel under a career service
independent of the civil service
commission.
The legislation is designed to in
sure producers of wheat against
losses in yield as a result of
drought, flood, hail, wind, tornado,
insect infestation, plant disease
and other natural hazards.
It proposes an appropriation of
$100,000,000 to finance a Federal
crop insurance corporation, which
would enter into voluntary con
tracts with farmers. Premiums
would be collected in wheat and
indemnities paid in grain of the
same class and grade.
Farmers would be given the op
tion of paying cash premiums un
der certain circumstances, but em
phasis would be placed on the
“payment in kind” principle of
Secretary Wallace’s “ever normal
granary” theory.
The corporation would seek to
build up a reserve of 25,000,000 to
100,000,000 bushels of wheat. The
grain would be taken off the mar
ket in the form of insurance pre
miums in bumper years and paid
out as indemnities in years of crop
failure.
An amendment would prevent
the corporation from disposing of
the grain except for indemnities or
to avoid deterioration. In the latter
event it would be traded, or sale3
replaced by purchases of equal
amounts of newer wheat.
Pope contended it would have a
stabilizing effect on both produc
tion and market price.
Proposed Merger
Of Church Groups
A proposed merger of the North
Carolina Sunday School Associa
tion with the North Carolina Coun
cil of Churches will probably be
one of the chief topics for discus
sion at the annual meeting of the
Sunday school association meeting
in Charlotte April 19-21.
Among the prominent men of
the state who will speak on the
program of this meeting will be:
Dr. Howard Rondthaler, president
of Salem college of Winston
Salem; Dr. J. Henry Highsmith of
the state department of education,
Raleigh; Bishop Edward Penick,
of the "North. Carolina Diocese of
the Protestant Episcopal church
and many others.
Texas Strives To
Insure Against
Future Disasters
Rigid Inspection Of Every
Rural School To Prevent
Another Fatal Blast
Testing For Gas
Court Of Inquiry Decides
There Is No Evidence For
Criminal Prosecution
With the official military court
of inquiry deciding that there was
no evidence on which to base any
criminal prosecution, school and
state authorities are striving to
make certain that no more disast
ers occur similar to the one which
killed 455 in the New London,
Texas, school last Thursday.
United States Bureau of Mines
experts continued an investigation,
drilling 400 holes in the oil der
ricked section of the wealthy con
solidated school’s grounds to test
subsoil for possible gas seepage.
D. J. Parker, Salt Lake City,
Utah, district engineer of the
Mines bureau, said the official find
I ing would be forwarded to Wash
ington. Authorities privately ex
pressed the opinion gas seepage
through the ground was not a
factor in the explosion.
Rigid inspection of every rural
school in east Texas oil area was
expected as a precaution. In the
military inquiry it was testified
escaping gas was found in a neigh
boring school building. Several
schools were closed for a day to
permit a thorough inspection.
State Senator Joe Hill, legisla
tive investigator who participated
in the military inquiry, said he
would recommend tightening
building inspection regulations
and requiring the placing of a
malodorous substance in gas, so
that leaks would be noticeable.
“If there had been a malodorant
in the gas at New London,” he
said, “the catastrophe never would
have occurred.”
The Red Cross disaster relief of
ficials said today their casualty
list showed 455 dead and 53 in
jured. Forty-nine of the injured
-still were in hospitals, many of
them critically hurt.
An unusual circumstance was
the finding in the wreckage of the
building a tom chemistry book of
some 500 pages, soaked with what
was believed to be blood, found
near a pile of brick. The top, and
readable page, had these words:
“Explosion and explosive mat
ters—we often read of some disast
rous explosion caused by the es
cape of fuel gas in a house. It is
of interest to inquire into the cause
of explosions and to learn the rea
son for their terrific power. An ex
plosion is due to a sudden chemical
reaction in which the volume of
gases formed in the reaction is
much larger than that of the re
acting substances.”
Indications For
