Beasley and Williams Is a "Gross Assumption of Authority" The International IVtroliuni company, or Texas, the oncers of which w re subject to a bitter, uncalled for attack from Insurance Comniis-m.iu-r Wade in the morniim lepers, has never intended hauling stock saleismen into this state, it waa learned here today from tuthorative sources. The license tax. it was stated is almost prohibitive, and this alone has prevented Messrs. Beasley and Williams from endeavoring to interest their fellow North Carolinians in their oil refinery and wells, 'hlch they have every reason to consider a legitimate business. Monroe men familiar with the legal aspects of the case declare Cmii niisfioner Wade's action a gross assumption of authority, .pointing out that there cau be no transgression of any North Carolina statute as long as the Federal postal regulations are complied with. The International Petrol iu m company, it was pointed out. is a legitimate corporation or the postal authotitieg would have long ago denied it the use of the mails. According to Commissioner Wade's own admission, the International's only oiTense is the flooding ol the state w ith advertising matter con cerning Its prospects. i'ARE ADVOCATING WOMELSi FOR ALDERMANIC BOARD SuugoMiim Hits Received Hearty Ap proval From Number r l.ealfng CilUenx .May lie t ai lied Out CHILD li ItlKMIi Aliorr FACE Maggie Ross Feared She Would Die In Poor House Harriett Crier, Her Cook, Said She Was Afraid Her Property Might Be Burned Up, But Was Quieted When She Told Her LandCouldnt Be Consumed That both Maggie and Sallie Ross .that In their opinion Maggie Ross did talked about ghosts, and that Maggie 'not have mental capacity to make a appeared to be in bad health and was, 1 will. in his opinion, incompetent to make a : Har,.ie, (;rM,K Tesnillov will, was the burden of Dr. W.
