Asheboro Youth Dies Of
Burns; Funeral Here
Yesterday.
Details of the fatal wreck which
claimed the life of Charles Mof
fitt, son of Mrs. 0. H. Moffitt of
Asheboro have been received by
The Courier. The accident which
took a toll of four lives took place
Tuesday night, July 27, on what is
known as Jacksboro highway con
necting Fort Wofth, Texas and Wi
chita Falls, Texas.
Four men, including two Fort
Worth youths were killed when a
light sedan collided with a gasoline
truck driven by Charles Moffitt;'
The dead included, Charles Moffitt,
E. C. Brannen, 18, Fort Worth and
J. M. Senter and Lewis Beck, Gra
ham, Texas.
The gasoline exploded and burn
ed the victims clothing from their
bodies. All but Brennan appar
ently were killed instantly. Bren
nen died in an Archer City hospi
tal after telling attendants that he
was asleep when the crash occur
red.
Moffitt who was driving an oil
truck for his brother, V. A. Mof
fitt, was returning to Fort Worth
from Wichita Falls with a tank of
gasoline. Brennen had accompan
ied him just for a ride.
There were no witnesses to the
crash, which occurred eight miles
south of Windthorst near the Jack
son county line at 12:30 a. m.
Moffitt was driving the truck
which contained gasoline for the
filling station of his brother, V. A.
Moffitt, 749 North Main street.
The automobile contained Senter
and Beck.
Moffitt, pinned in the wreckage,
was virtually cremated. At ihe
impact, two explosions occurred.
Flames shot high into the air. Bur
ning gasoline coursed along the
highway for two hundred feet.
E. W. Williams, operator of a
filling station a half-mile away'
from the scene, heard the blasts
and hurried to the spot. Rescue
was impossible.
An automobile containing four
persons was traveling on the high
way near the wreck. They were
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Turner, Ollie
Turner and Miss Laura Lee Gow
dy, returning from a dance near
Windthorst. They took Brannen to
the hospital.
Bodies were removed by Sheriff
Dutch Gousier, Deputy Sheriff J. E.
Ross and Highway Patrolman E.
K. Browning after the flames had
subsided. Identification was diffi
cult.
Young Moffitt roomed with Mrs.
J. G. Gibson on Roosevelt avenue.
He slept during the day so that he
could drive all night. Mrs. Gib
son’s daughter, Miss Captola Gil
son, awoke him at 7:30 p. m. for
his night’s run. After eating wa
termelon with the Gibsons he told
them he would be back home at 4
a. m.
“I’ll come in quietly so I won’t
wake you,” he smiled.
Moffitt, came to Fort Worth tw<5
years ago from Asheboro, N. C. His
brother, A. V. Moffitt, 2912 Galvez
street, operated an oil company at
service station at 749 N. Mgin

North Carolina
Executes 2 More
White Man Goes For Murder;
Negro For Ravishing Ne
gro Woman.
Twb men were put to death by
the state of North Carolina Frilay
morning. They were a white man
convicted of murder and a negro
man sentenced to death for ravish*
ing a negro woman.
Penal officials said that Thomas
Perry, 24-year-old Wake Forest ne
gro convicted of criminally assault
ing Pearl Thomas, an employe of
the Wake Forest college infirmary,
was the first person put to death
in this state for criminal assault
on a negro woman.
The execution, Paroles Commis
sioner Edwin Gills said may be
unprecedented in the south.
The white man, A. W. Watson,
20, was convicted in Martin county
last December of the hammer slay
ing of Thomas Holliday, a filling
station attendant, in an attempted
robbery.
Watson told reporters last night,
“I did not kill that man, and God
is my witness; Christ knows chat I
am not facing him with a lie on my
lips.”
He admitted, however, he was
at a Martin county filling station
last November 22, when Holliday
was beaten to death with a ham
mer.
Perry, who has a record of sev
eral previous assaults, said he was
not guilty but “Pve made peace
with God and I’m ready to go.”
Governor Hoey declined to inter
vene in the cases.

State Affected By
Walsh-Healy Act;
40-Hour Ruling
Secretary Perkins Fixes 2.5
Cent Differential On
Men’s Clothing.
$13 Lowest Wage
All Government Contracts
Affected; $14 Weekly Set
In Other States.
Washington.—Secretary of La
bor Perkins gave the south its first
wage differential Friday under the
Walsh-Healy government contract
act.
Men’s underwear factories in 12
southern states must pay their em
ployes 32.5 cents an hour or $13
for a 40-hour week when they are
working on government orders,
Miss Perkins decided.
She fixed the minimum pay for
all other states at 35 cents an hour
or $14 for a 40-hour week.
At the same time, the labor de
partment chief refused to allow
any southern differential for the
men’s work clothing industry, stat
ing that ‘‘existing differences defied
any regional apportionment.”
The minimum wage for that in
dustry, including the men’s shirt
and sport jacket divisions, was fix
ed at 37.5 cents an hour or $15 for
a 40-hour week.
i Designed as a substitute for
NRA, the Walsh-Healy act permits
Miss Perkins to fix standards for
employes filling government con
tracts.
Pointing out there was no re
quest for a differential because the
industry was concentrated in the
east, Miss Perkins fixed the mini
mum pay for men’s neskwear work
ers at 50 cents an hour or $20 for
a 40-hour week.
Neither William Green, president
of the American Federation of La
bor, nor John L. Lewis, chairman
of the Committee for Industrial or
ganization, would comment on the
differential decision.
The extent to which southern in
dustry should receive differentials
was a problem that*plagued NRA

in trying either to eliminate dif-'
ferential.s or to keep them as nar

The states that received the dif
