Dispatch Is Issued Today Under Severe Difficulties Daily Dispatch si being put out un der the severest difficulties, and per haps justifies tins explanation. Every one in Henderson is aware of the hardships that have resulted from the sleet and the tie-up of power and light services and the communi cations. From the time the workday began at 8 a. m., until after t o’clock this aft ernoon, there was no power with which to operate type-setting mach ines and run presses, except for about an hour in all and that at intermit VANDYKE CASE UP IN SUPREME COURT Will Be Argued Tomorrow; McCoin Cases Also Are To Be Heard The Vandyke assault and kidnap ing case, which created something of a, sensation during the trial in Vance Superior Court last October, is up for argument on appeal in the North Carolina. Supreme Court in Raleigh tomorrow. A number of local attor neys are expected to attend. Another issue from this county, growing out of and involving the af fairs of R. S. McCoin, is also to be argued tomorrow in me supreme Court. Almost every attorney in the city is figuring in t.he case cither as counsel or parties to the suit, part of which relates to rentals in the Mc- Coin building, where a number of attorneys have their offices. McCoin’s affairs were taken in charge by the court after his mysterious disappear ance December been heard from since. The Vandyke case revolves around the conviction and life sentence of two Negro boys on charges of kid naping find assaulting Miss Mary Lena Vandyke with a deadly weapon. Two Durham. Negro /attorneys app peared in the case here and raised the issue of the illegal indictment ol the boys on the ground that Negroes were not on the grand jury. An al leged shooting, which the two Negro attorneys claimed was directed ai them, caused a sensation and an ex haustive investigation which delayed the trial for half a. day. Judge R. Hunt Parke*', who presided at the trial, said he had no alternative but to give the boys life imprisonment un der the State law on kidnaping, but said he would recommend to the gov error that, th.j terms be considerably cut down by executive clemency.

A great volume of material has had to be omitted from the paper altogether because it was impossible to put it into type. A product that requires a wull day to make cannot be made in two or three hours not. in its nor mal quality and size. And that is what the Daily Dispatch was up against today. Moreover, there was no way to ob tain Asociatcd Press dispatches and there is today not a line of outside news in the paper. There was not a toll line of the telcphon ecompany Three More Deeds Filed on Saturday With the Regster Three more real estate deeds were filed Saturday with the register of deeds, two of the tracts being farm lands and the other in the suburbs of the city.

He said that 510 men and women shared in that distribution. Little work was done by any of the CWA crews today on account of the very severe weather in this city and section. Moreover, the organization is this week taking a considerable slash in its quota of workers, with about one-fourth of the normal numfcer be ing eliminated by order of national authorities as the result of the re vamping of the CWA set-up under the new appropriation.

ALLEN IS SURE STATE WILL SHARE EDUCATION FUNDS Confident Rules for DistrL bution of $50,000,000 To Be Chatnged To Aid North Carolina THREE CONDITIONS MUST BE ATTAINED Taxes Must Have Been Lev ied for Schools, Which Must Have Closed, And Money Must Go To Unem ployed Teachers; Funds Supplied by Government Dully lUs|Ml(ch It ii !-•>!• „ t In III*- S,. Waller llulVl MV .1. CL It ASK Mil VI 1,1,. Raleigh. Feb. 26.—North Carolina t'hould and will get its proportion ate share of the $50,000,000 already set aside by the Emergency Relief Ad ministration for the public schools in the various states, despite the fact that at present the outlook is not very bright for this State to get any of it, is the belief of Dr. A. T. Allen, State superintendent of public in struction. who is a member of one of the national committees appointed by Commissioner of Education Zook to look into the school needs of the states at the present time. Dr. Allen has just returned from a trip to Washington, where he looked into the status of the $50,000,000 set aside by Hairy L. Hopkins, of ERA, ana chances of North Carolina, getting any of that. "Despite the fact that. North Caro lina has done more than any othei State in the Union to keep its schools open and running and has put forth more State effort to keep them open than any other, it would not get a dollar from the Emergency Relief Administration under the rules that have been set forth by Director Hop kins," Dr. Allen said. “However, wc are hoping that these rules v/ilk n». changed so that North Carolina may get it# share of this money. Those to whom we talked in the Emergency Relief Administration were very syn. pathetic toward making changes in the present rules so that North Caro lina would (be able to get its jus-, share of funds from this $50,000,00c taht has been set aside for scnools.' The three major requirements for any State getting money for relief of its schools, Dr. Allen said, are as follows: 1. That amount of ad valorem taxes levied in the State or contains for sup port, of the schools, as an indication of the effort that has been made to keep the schools open. 2. That the schools must have clos ed ithat is, those expecting to get relief funds. . 3. The teachers to be employed with these funds must he unemployed teach ers in actual need that can qualify as relief cases. These requirements may be all right, for the other states where the schools arc supported almost entirely by ad valorem or property taxes and where many schools have actually closed. Dr. Allen agrees. He also agrees that in these other states enough needy unemployed teachers can probably be found with which to open the closed schools. But these requirements do not help North Carolina at all, despite the fact, that this State has probably made a greater effort to keep its schools open than any others, since it is the only stalo in which none have IConUuuad on I'age Three.! Congress Wants To Know How Schools Keep Going Ifniljr MiftpnK'b lu the Sir Walter Hotel, til’ J. C. UASKEHVILL. Raleigh, Feb. 26.—Congress wants to know how North Carolina has managed to keep its schools open, especially without imposing any pro perty tax for schools. In fact, ever since “The Whirligig’’ and other na tional news services have been point ing out that North Carolina is the only State in the United States that have been able to keep ali its schools open this year and pay all its teach ers in cash, on time and without a property tax, more and more inquiries have been coming in here as to how this has been done. One of the most recent inquiries to come to Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus is a latter from Congressman Brooks PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY.

HARRIS IS INTERRED ON SUNDAY Funeral Is at Methodist Protestant Church and Burial in Elmwood Cemetery Here Funeral services for Mrs. F. It. Har ris, 75, who died at her home Satur day at noon after a long illness, were held Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock from the Methodist Protestant church of which she had been a member for many years. The pastor, Dr. L. W. Gerringcr was in charge of the ser vices, assisted by Rev. D. E. Earn hardt, pastor of the First Methodist church. Interment was in Elmwood cemetery. Relatives and friends enough to fill the church comfortably braved the rain, sleet and snow to pay a final tribute to a. woman who through the years had been prominent in many Nativities of a religious, civic an'd social nature in the community. There were many from out of the city, and the floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. Mrs. Harris was buried by the side of her husband, the late Dr. F. 11. Harris. She is survived by one son, three daughters, several grandchil dren and one brother and three sisters all of whom were here for the ser vices. Fletcher of Ohio, a member of the House committee on Education, who asked Governor Ehringhaus to send him all the information he could on what North Carolina has done and how it has done it so that he could use this information in forthcoming committee hearings on educational bills, especially thills to appropriate money for the aid of the public schools throughout the United States. Congressman Fletcher said that the committee was considering proposals to extend Federal aid to education, but that “many of us feel that be fore we authorize the appropriation of much money for education, we should make a careful check up of the possibility of much of it being wasted in financing educational non-essen tials.” 6 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY Streets Littered With Trees and Limbs, Wltn Poles and Wires Adding to Hazards SOME SCHOOLS ARE FORCED TO DISBAND Power Lines Down and In dustry Is Crippled as Re sult; Traffic Moves Care fully and No Serious Ac cidents Are Reported in the City Proper Henderson was completely shut off from the outside world by sleet to day, so far as wire connections go, ex cept for a lone railroad telephone which served to keep trains running, but which had to be operated scc tionall a block at the time. It was the heaviest sleet in years, and crippled the city perhaps the worst since the two-foot snow of early April, 1915, when there were no trains even for 19 hours. Leaden skies that had prevailed since late Saturday opened in early afternoon to permit the sun to shine through, and the ice began melting slowly. Streets all over the city were lit tered with trees, limbs, wires and poles, constituting a serious hazard to life and property, but no serious accidents of any kind were reported. The effect of the sleet was felt most in the shutting off of power to drive industry and to furnish lights, and the current was turned in only inter mittently during t.he morning and un til late afternoon today. Business that was dependent, upon electric power to move was practically at a standstill for the whole day. Electric block signals on the main line of the Seaboard Air Line rail road were shut, off as the result of the failure of the power lines, and trains were operated by telephone, with messages relayed Mock by block. But the trains ran only slightly behind their schedules on the passenger runs while the buses maintained fairly re gular schedules. Schools in the city and county were seriously handicapped as pupils found it impossible in many instances to get to their class rooms. The North Henderson school did not operate at all, and the South Henderson school, with only about one-third of the pupils present, dismissed within ari hour or two after opening time. All the others endeavored to carry on during the day, and were hopeful that weather conditions would moderate sufficiently by tomorrow to permit a return to noimal operations. No re ports were received from the rural sections, but Superintendent E. M. Rollins said he doubted if any of tho consolidated isohootls were running. Whether the roads would be suffi ciently dried out to permit Lite trucks to run tomorrow was problematical. Temperatures were not abnormally C»»tinned ou Pag* Six) STAINBACK BABY IS BURIED ON SUNDAY Services Arc Ilcid From Residence and Interment Is In Now Bethel Cemetery at Epsom Funeral services were held from the home of the parents on Rock Spring street at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon for Nannie Bet.!. Stainback, two and a half year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Stainback. The child died at 7:30 o’clock Saturday evening at Maria Parham hospital of burns sus tained about three weeks ago when she fell backwards into a tub of hot water as preparations were being made for her bath. The baby’s condition had grown steadily worse the past few days, and death was not unexpected. A number of relatives and friends braved the snow, sleet and raiu to gather at the home for the final ser vices, which were in charge of Rev. D. E. Earnhardt, pastor of the First Methodist church, assisted Iby Rev. Mr. Patrick, of the First Baptist church. Interment was in New Bethel ceme tery near Epsom. Numerous floral of ferings sent by sympathetic relatives and friends more than covered the grave. Pallbearers were W. E. Stainback, R. F. Stainback, J. M. Moss and For est Stainback. Children of the neigh borhood were flower bearers, and were: Dorothy Crabtree, Morton Miles, Finner Lee Parrish, Caroline Miles, Virginia Capps. Priscilla Parham and Anne Starkey.
