INSURANCE SUITS
HAVEjEEN ENDED
Agreement Out of Court
Reached in Death of
Late N. R. White
A settlement out of court has been
reached in suits against the New York
Life Insurance Company, growing out
of claims after the death of the late
N. R. White, who died in the early
summer, it was learned today at the
office of E. O. Falkner, clerk of su
perior court.
The New York Life was defendant
in two actions, in one of which Mrs.
Moss R. White, the widow, and the
First National Bank in Henderson
were plaintiffs, and in the other of
which Mrs. White alone was the plain
tiff. The policies were for $3,000 each,
but each carried the double indem
nity clause for accidental death,
which was alleged in the suits.
Settlement in each case was for $3,-
006.95. It had been understood at one
time the suits would t)<e transferred
to Federal court, but necessity for this
was avoided when the settlement was
reached out of court.

Bonds Speculated

help the county roads just as much
as it would help the State highway
system, since it would make available
millions of dollars a year of main
tenance funds now being used to
patch old and worn out State high
ways, for use on the county roads.
Another argument in favor of the
bond issue plan is that the State will
never have enougb current revenue
to rebuild many of these roads and
DRUNKEN DRIVED
Three of Five Defendants
There Face That Liquor
Law Violation
Three of the five defendants in re
corder’s court today were charged
with drunken driving, and two of
them were found guilty.
Boyd Richardson, Negro, was charg

modernize them —all it can do will be
to patch them from year to year with
maintenance funds. Many of these
roads have already been patched, so
much that there are more patches
than original road.”
Two Sides To It.
A few people object to the bond is
sue plan on the grounds that the
State should not issue any more road
bonds until all the present ones are
retired, Johnson said. But he pointed
out that with an investment of $300,-
000,000 in highways, the State could
well afford to issue $25,000,000 in
bonds to keep them modern and pre
serve its original investment, just as
a factory owner frequently has to is
sue new bonds to provide new and
modern machinery before he can fin
ish paying for hrs plant.

ple are interested in the plan,” John

EDUCATION BOARD
IN ROUTINE MEET
School Bus Crowding De
clared Due to Scarcity of
Trucks Here
A routine meeting of the Vance
County Board of Education was held
today, with only routine matters re
ceiving attention, it was stated.
After the meeting, Chairman J. C.
Cooper explained that the stir over
the crowding of school fcuses at the
Townsville school grew out of a short
age of bus equipment and an unex
pected increase in enrollment at
Townsville this year. A year ago the
Board of Education advised the State
School Commission that the 27 buses
allotted this county were insufficient
for the needs after the commission
had ordered the reduction of trucks
from 35. The commission was invited
to send a representative here to make
an inspection, and also to allot at
least two more buses to the county,
but no relief was granted.
The difficulty that has arisen is
through no fault of the county board,
it was stated.
“NELL GWYN” A GAY
COLORFUL ROMANCE
Os the many historical romances
which have lately been transferred to
the screen, “Nell Gwyn,” which comes
to the Vance Theatre today and to
morrow with the lovely Anna Neagle
playing the “pretty, witty Nelly” and
Sir Cedric Harwicke, the Bishop of
“Les Miserables,” as her royal lover
Charles 11, stands out as the most col
orful and entertaining.
Handsomely mounted and superbly
directed by the producer, Herbert
Wilcox, “Nell Gwyn” lifts the gaudier
and gayer incidents of Nell’s career
bodily from the pages of the match
less Diary of that arch-gossip, Samuel
Pepys. A hint of how faithfully the
film follows the facts is contained in
the screen title which credits the
dialogue to “Charles 11, Samuel Pepys
Nell Gwyn and Miles Malleson,” the
last-named being the sceneartist who
welded the incidents together.

“Bitter Sweet” and “The Runaway

No matter how many medicines you

thing less than Creomulsion, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
to aid nature to soothe and heal the
inflamed membranes as the germ-laden
phlegm is loosened and expelled.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don’t be discouraged, your druggist is
authorized to guarantee Creomulsion
and to refund your money if you are not
satisfied with results from the very first
bottle. Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.)

King Charles, and Sir Cedric Hard
wicke’s portrayal of the “merry mon
arch” is a magnificent and human
characterization which surpasses even
his superb work in “Les Miserables.”
The story begins with the King’s
attendance at th e Old Drury Lane
theatre where “sweet Nell” is per
