ASSOCIATED PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS Tobacco On Monday Hit Nearly 29c 538,460 Pounds Sell for $155,984.87, With Heavy Offerings Left Over Official figures on Monday’s sale on the Henderson tobacco market showed a sale almost equal to that of Monday of last week, and revealed that 538,160 pounds were sold for a total of $155,984.87, at an average of $28.96. The volume was approximately 35.009 pounds more than a week ago, and the average lacked only 12 cents per hundred of equalling the price. Actual money paid by buyers was ap proximately SIO,OOO more this Monday. With this tig sale, however, much tobacco was left over and disposed of today. Warehousemen feel that the tremen dous quantities of tobacco being of fered for sale would justify a third set of buyers on the Henderson market, and that if such facilities were pro vided the market would set a much higher record both for pounds and price. A third set of buyers has just been awarded by the tobacco com panies to Durham, effective tomor row. BUILD CIJLVERTS ON TOWNSVILLE ROAD Approaches to New Bridges Also Being Constructed On Contract Culverts are being- built in the new paving construction program on the Henderson-Townsville highway, and abutments to the new bridges are be ing graded preliminary to blocking the highway for the actual grading and surfacing of the road proper. Many sharp curves in the road will be eliminated to make for greater safety for traffic, and the contractors are hoping that the job may be com pleted before che rigorous weather of mid-winter sets in. Good progress can be made if the weather continues favorable, and much work already has been done. No time will be lost, it is said, in pressing toward completion the $65,- 000 job which will give traffic a much better road surface over a stretch of neatly seven miles of the highway north from Henderson, which is not quite half way to Townsville.

Motor Sales Co. (Incorporated) ...... Henderson and Warrenton, N. C Phone 832 JUDGEMENT GIVEN IN SEVERAL CASES L. M. Dilda Gets Road Terms; Corbitt Case Re moved to Wake County Judgments were given by Judge W. C. Harris in Vance Superior Court late yesterday in several cases that had come over from last ■week’s crim inal session without being disposed of. Two years on the roads in each of five forgery counts were imposed on L. M. Dilda, the terms, however, to run concurrently. The terms will be gin at the end of the present 18- months sentence being served by the defendant for jail breaking. Buddie Macon was in court on a charge of the theft of an automobile from W. T. Claiborne and also for obtaining goods, namely gasoline, un der false pretenses. The cases were continued for the term, however, with out judgment feeing given. On appeal of counsel for the de fendant, the suit of R. J. Corbitt, Jr., against the Carolina Buick Company of Raleigh was transferred from Vance Superior Court to Wake court in Raleigh, but no date set for the trial. The ground for removal was that the defendant company would have to have virtually its entire or ganization as witnesses and that if they all had to come to Henderson for the trial .it would mean that the business would likely have to suspend for that period of time. W. B. Jones, of defense counsel in the suit, made the chief argument, but was accompanied here for the plea by J. H. Pou, Jr., of Raleigh. Zollicoffer and Zollicoffer and W. P. Horton represented the plaintiff in resisting the request. Judge Harris discounted the claim of defense coun sel that they could not get a fair trial in Vance county, home county of the plaintiff. l— t " 1 ■— Six Defendants In County Court on Various Charges Six defendants were given hearings today in county court, one of them being tried on two separate charges, ehargese. Joe Fanes, Negro was not guilty dis turbing religious worship, and when tried for trespass and assault with a deadly weapon, the charge was ad judged frivilous and malicious, and the prosecuting witness, Albert Brown was taxed with the costs. L. C. Breedlove, charged with reck less driving, was declared not guilty. Herman Fields, Negro, was declared not guilty of reckless driving when tried on that charge. Sylvester Wright was fined $25 and -osts for possession of illegal whisky. He may take four months on the roads in lieu of the fine. T. B. Clark paid $1 and costs for '•eing drunk.

It ap peared probable that the addresses would consume not only the entire day feut also a part of tomorrow, and that the case would not go to the jury before probably midday or pos sibly even later tomorrow. A. W. Gholson, Jr., for the prosecu tion, made the first. speech to the jury at the opening of court today. He was followed by J. M. Peace for the defense. Others to speak include T. P. Gholson and Solicitor W. H. S. Burgwyn for the State, and A. A. Bunn and W. H. Yarborough and W. H. Yarborough, Jr., for the defense. Seven attorneys appearing in the case all are to be heard, and when they conclude Judge W. C. Harris, presid ing, will deliver the court’s charge. policetakYti AFTER LONG CHASE Boys Wanted In Raleigh For Theft of Gas Nabbed by Police Here City policemen E. W. Ellis and W. M. Brame captured two youths last night after a chase through the city who were said to have been wanted in Raleigh for theft of gasoline and in South Carolina for the theft of an automobile. Police Mere received a call from Raleigh to be on the look out for the automobile, and Officers Brame and Ellis spotted it as it came into Gar nett street from the Raleigh highway they pursued the car down Garnett street to a barricade at the under pass site, thence down Church to Chestnut street and south to two miles out on the Raleigh highway, they succeeded in down a tire. The boys were taken to Raleigh, and their names were not to be learn ed from local officers. Mrs. Wilson Home. Mrs. W. E. Wilson has retrned to her home on Montgomery street from Watts hospital in Durham, where she recently underwent an operation. She was reported much improved. The thirteen jurors sitting in the case were liberated over the week-end to spend the time with their families. All of them but one man are married. There is much speculation over the possible verdict the jury will bring in when it begins deliberations. While the defendant is charged with first degree murder, and is the first wo man in the history of Vance county ever to be tried on that ground, no one has been heard to express an op inion that a first degree verdict will be given. The popular conviction ap pears to be that it will be either sec ond degree murder or manslaughter. There has also been considerable spe culations to the judgment to be given by Judge Harris in the event of either of these verdicts. While none has been heard to express the opinion that a first degree verdict will be given, few have hazarded the guess of an out right acquittal. The State alleges deliberation pure and simple in the killing, while the defense contends the women shot her husband in self-defense. Around Town One License to Wed—One couple was issued license to wed yesterday at the Register of Deeds office of Vance County. The certificate went to Warner Winn and Mary Ethel Winn, bth of route 1, Henderson. A Realty Deed—A realty deed, un reported yesterday at the county reg istry office, was given today as J. M. Broughton, trustee, to S. S. Parham and Gus Roth for $15,000, the James R. Young building at the corner of Garnett and Montgomery streets. HOURS UNCHANGED FOR HIGH SCHOOL Although parents complained vigor ously last week about lunch hours at the high school, and, although Prof. W. D. Payne, the principal, outlined the situation, with certain alternatives in a public statement near the week end, he said very little reaction had been observed to his proposals, and that little complaint had come to him or suggestions for changes. Meantime, the same hours continue in effect, with students given only 40 minutes recess at the noon hour to go to their homes in various parts of the city for their lunch. Whether changes will be made later will depend on the re action of parents, it was understood. 1927—President Coolidge in speech at Pittsburgh declares America’s men of wealth devote their money to spread of democracy and develop ment of arts. To Remedy Congestion For Buses Provision To Be Made To Relieve Over-Crowding Os Children Congestion on school buses trans porting rural children to and from the Townsville high school will be re lieved immediately by the addition of one more bus, Superintendent E. M. Rollins, of the city and county schools, said today. Asked if the State School Commission would supply the feus, he said it would not, but that it would be provided for locally. The situation was complained of in the grand jury report to the October term of Vance Superior Court last week, and the situation attracted wide attention here and elsewhere, and even elicited editorial comment in outside newspapers. The grand jury reported it found in one instance that 74 children were being carried to and from school in a single bus, and said that a great many of the buses in the service over the county were de fective in one manner of another. Judge W. C. Harris, presiding over the court, added his condemnation of the condition reported, and ordered several copies of the grand jury’s re port made. He said later he would take up the matter with local county authorities and possibly also with State school authorities in Raleigh. It has been explained that the State School Commission reduced the num ber of buses in the county from 34 down to 27, the number now in use in the five rural consolidated high schools and in transporting a num ber ot children in Henderson town ship < o schools in the city. This num ber was deemed inadequate. “My Skin Was Full of Pimples and Blemishes” Schlepp: “Since using Ad- S lm >? les are Bone. My skin is 2 th and Slows with health.” Miss P- * A^?
