P- Official To Be Placed Be fore Grand Jury. Greensboro, Dec. 14.—"1 am her*- I with enclosing a pledge card which II hope you will fill out and mail to me by return mail. A pledge of $4 or $5 per month would be greatly 4 )appreciated." | Thus runs a letter to a Johnston county federal office holder from W. H. Foster, secretary-treasurer of the state republican executive com mittee. It is a sample of letters and pledge cards filling three filing cases seized Friday from the re publican state offices by supoenas from E. L. Gavin, attorney of the middle district court. Grand Jury May Act. ! Mr. Gavin and his. staff were busy : until 2 a. m., Friday night and worked j throughout Saturday and into the night in going through the records of Mr. Foster and State Chairman James S. Duncan. After pursuing a number of the letters, Mr. Gavin seemed to be strongly of the opinion j that it will be his duty to place be-j fore the federal grand jury on Thurs- j day the charges that solicitation of funds have been made by the state j officers of the party from federal office holders. If such solicitation . was made from them at their offices, 1 it is said to be covered in the prohi- j bitions of federal statues. A court , decision has held that the solicita- j tion by letter is the same as per- j sonal solicitation. In the meantime republicans are pondering Chairman Duncan's state ment of Friday night in which he . said he thought he understood the! motive behind the investigation but • would not comment on it. It is be- 1 lieved that reference may be made to Mr. Gavin being possibly dis gruntled at the recent failure of the republican executive committee to recommend that he be returned to office as district attorney a second time. J. R. McCrary, Lexington, won the committee's approval and • Gavin ran third in it's vote. i ! jHave Your Auto Lights Adjusted | If the headlights of your car blind | the driver coming in the opposite ; direction, you may be instructed by j officers of the State Highway Pa | trol to do something about it, accord ing to Captain Charles D. Farmer of j the Patrol, who is backed up by a j rule adopted by the State Highway j Commission. The rule was passed in i order to place every motorist on an equal basis as regards the strength ; of his auto headlights. Prescribing a uniform and proper headlight service the Highway Department have named several hundred official service sta tions throughout the State to render assistance to motor car owners. Captain Farmer attributes many highway accidents to drivers becom ing blinded by glaring headlights, j He said, "It would seem that every , man now figures on having the big- j gest and strongest light so as to over- | come the glare of the other fellow's . lights. A blind man is not permitted j to drive a car, yet a man who can- ; not see through the rays of another's ; glaring headlights is virtually a blind • man and there is no telling what | he will do. "The highway death toll in North I Carolina is still going up. It has got J to go down. Two of the chief causes j of night accidents are blinding head- j lights and the lack of a rear light, ! and the Highway Commission has ruled them from the highway. We j have stations set up to eliminate this trouble, and we hope the public will j cooperate with us in taking advant-! age of the service now offered." Slop Night Coughing Ordinary cough remedies do net reach the conditions which cause night coughing but Thoxine, a doc tor's famous prescription does. It stops the cough within a few min utes and goes direct to the internal cause, preventing further trouble, j Taken before retiring Thoxine ] absolutely prevents night coughing jlt gives the same speedy relief for . sore throat too.
