finished, according to. J. Summie
Whitener, secretary of the North Car

survey, when completed, will obviate
the necessity for any additional re

whatever and wilt make it possible to
settle boundary line disputes without
any new surveys.
To get the fullest usefulness from
the sui ey it will be necessary to
make topographical and relief irytps
of the State, which will in turn make
it possible to locate new highway
routes, water power sites, power trails
mission routes and bridge sites from
these maps, without recourse to actual
surveys that are now required and
which are so costly. These relief maps
will also make possible the settlement
of boundary disputes of ail sorts with
out recourse to the courts and thus
make possible a tremendous saving to
landowners.

of Magnolia was robbed here oday by
three white men who slugged the as

and escaped with a sum at first esti
mated at 350.000.
The men entered the bank at 11:50
a. m., knocked Alton Gaynor. the as
sistant cashier, unconscious and threw
him in a vault and then fled south
ward in an automobile.
Police throughout the southeastern
part of the State were notified and
asked to watch for the trio.
Magnolia is a village of 802 popula
tion. Bank officials said they had an
unusually large supply of currency on
hand.
Police said the three men were seen
about the town several hours before
the robbery and that they "must have
been familiar with the bank and this
section of the county."
They said one of the men waited in
a small sedan while the two others
entered the bank, guns drawn and
with handkerchiefs over their faces.
Gaynor was the only person in the
bank at the time. L. L. Dill .the
cashier, had just left and was across

It Is*true that Mr. Mac Lean did not
say that North Carolina bonds are
now selling at 380. and his denial is
printed in the Monday issue of The
News and Observer. But Mr. Mac Lean
did say. according to those who heard
him, that North Carolina bonds now
had a loan value of only SBO, which
to the average person would give the
impression that the bonds are worth
0n1y.360, or only a little more than
half their par value. It may be that
Mr. Mac Lean knows of some hanks
that will not loan more than SBO for

nalled today a general advance for the
entire presidential program of econo
mic legislation.
The two billion dollar reconstruc
tion unit passed the Senate late last
night, sixty-three to eight, eight, with
only few amendments attached to it.
Already in the House in the form of a
companion bill, the project advanced
there today with a general debate
headed for & vote late tomorrow or
Thursday. Without missing a beat, the
Senate turned to take up number two
in President Hoover's hat: me bill to
increase the capital of Federal Land
Banks by 100 million dollars. It al
ready has passed the House.
Farm Ixntn Provided.
As passed by the senate the finance
corporation will have power to pour
its billions in loans into banks, sav
ings banks, trust companies, building
and loan associations ,the railroads,
insurance companies, agricultural and
live stock credit corporations, federal
and joint stock land banks, mort
gage loan companies and exporting
agencies. It carries a “rider” by Sen

Vigorous attempts were made in
the 10 hours of debate which preced

these were defeated by 45 to 28.
Going farther the senate struck out
an amendment sponsored by Senator

So in implying that the bonds of his
