MAXTON. N. &, FRIDAY, FEB. 10, 1939. Subscription !Mce S1.50 Per Year in Advance Washington, Feb. 8.—While there are many questions to come before this Congress on which there will be sharp differences be tween the Administration forces and the already well-organized Coalition Opposition, there is a great mass of work ahead on which there will be little or no controversy. To do all that must be done be fore this first session of the 76th Congress adjourns probably will keep Senators and Representatives busy until well past midsummer, though some of the things which must be attended to call for ac tion before then. There is a great list of laws which expire by the limitations written into them, some of which must be renewed this Spring if the purposes for which they were en acted are to be continued. For example, the authority of the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration to make loans to states and municipalities to aid in fi nancing projects under local laws expires on March 20, this year. Since this is generally regarded as one of the soundest phases of Government financing there is little doubt that the authority will be renewed for another year or more, but Congress will have to act quickly. At the end of June the Recon struction Finance Corporation it self goes out of business unless Congress renews its charter by that time. On the same date the Federal Reserve System loses its author ity to issue Federal Reserve notes against Government bonds, unless Congress acts. Other Powers Expire. At the end of the Federal fiscal year, which is June 30, other pow ers and authorities which expire by limitation include that of the F. H. A. to insure rehabilitation loans, and F. H. A. debentures; the authority of the U. S. Housing Administration to issue 500 mil lions of bonds; and the existence of the Federal Service Commodi ties Corporation. More important than any of the foregoing is the necessity for this session of Congress to enact a new revenue law or reaffrim the present one so far as it refers to taxes on corporations; for the law passed last year specifies that the corporation income taxes for which it provided shall not apply to any corporate fiscal year ending after December 31, 1939. The whole tax question is likely to take up a great deal of the time of Congress. It will be easier to handle, in one respect, since for the first time in Sixty years all of the Federal tax laWs have been codified, indexed, classified and printed in a single volume. Heretofore there have arisen at every session questions as to what the existing tax laws really are, whether a previous Congress re pealed this or that tax provision, and nobody, not even the tax ex perts of the Treasupr, could give a final answer without going through dozens and scores of books and records. Record of Laws The other day a bill which no member has ever read passed both houses of Congress, without an opposing vote. It was about the longest bill ever passed by Con gress, running more than 500 printed pages. It was the Federal Tax Code, which now sets forth in legal form precisely what the tax laws are, so that members considering changes in the laws can refer to a particular page and section of the Code and every other member will know just what it is all about. Expert lawyers employed Dy Congress and by the Treasury and the Department of Justice worked out the Code and checked it and rechecked it, so it may be taken as a complete and accurate com pendium of all the legislation now in force on the subject of taxes. The Treasury’s foremost expert on tax matters, Herman Oliphant, died unexpectedly during the Christmas holidays, and no one as well qualified has yet been found to replace him. He was considered to know more about tax legislation than any other man in Washington. The opposition forces in Con gress are showing their strength by opposing some of the Presi dent’s appointments. Notice was served on the Presi dent that the Senate would not cqnfirnju the reappointment of bonald Wakefield Smith as a member of the National Labor Relations Board, and Mr. Roose velt has withheld Mr. Smith’s name, leaving a vacancy on the board. Several Federal judges --y-. ■ — Mrs. A. J. McKinnon Is Claimed by Death Beloved Maxton Woman Succumbs to Heart Malady Sunday After noon. Funeral Service Monday Afternoon Are Attended by Concourse of Friends and Relatives. The sudden passing of Mrs. A. J. McKinnon, which occurred at her home Sunday afternoon, came as a great shock and brought deep sorrow to the entire community where she had lived most of her life, and to relatives and friends elsewhere. Mrs. McKinnon was stricken on Tuesday with a severe heart attack, but rallied, and it was thought that she was slowly recovering. Her elder daughter, Miss Saliie Lou McKinnon, who had just returned from the World Missionary Conference in India, had agreed to speak Sunday eve ning at the Presbyterian church, but her mother grew suddenly worse Sunday afternoon, and passed away at 4 o’clock, of a heart malady (coronary throm bosis). The simple but impressive fu neral rites were held at the home Monday afternoon at 3:30, con ducted by her pastor, Rev. P. O. Lee, assisted by Rev. James Ap pleby, and were attended by an unusually large number of friends and kindred from far and near. The body was" interred in the family plot, beside that of her husband and her son. Friends of the family covered the sacred mound with exquisite floral de signs, which overflowed and cov ered the graves of her loved ones. Pall bearers were: Ernest Wil liams of Maxton and Chas. Prince of Laurinburg, her nephews, Angus McKinnon of Wilson, Martin Mc Kinnon of Fayetteville, Murphy and Halbert McKinnon of Maxton. Mrs. McKinnon was before her marriage, Miss Jennie Lee Mc Kinney. She was born in Ran dolph county in 1865, the only child of Capt. Henry Redfield Mcr Kinney and Mrs. Lucina Line berry McKinney. The family moved to rnaxton, tnen onoe tieei, when Mrs. McKinnon was only 6 years of age. She was married to Mr. Alexander James McKinnon, pioneer business man of this sec tion, on October 13, 1887, and their family is one of the oldest in this section. It was a family known far and wide for its gracious hospitality.’ Their home was a social center where youth could enjoy the pastimes of the day and many of those occasions linger in memory today. How well they wrought in the capacity of home builders has been evi denced by the useful lives of their children as well as a host of rela tives and friends, who felt its sweet influence. Following the death of her hus band, which occurred’ July 4th, 1922, Mrs. McKinnon lived a life of devotion to her aged mother, her family and at the same time contributed richly to the life of the community, where her mem ory is enshrined. In her quiet, gentle way, she was always ready to stretch out a helping hand to those in need or distress. Surely her children are rich in a gracious heritage, and her memorial is “a world made a little better” by her life. Indeed there are many who will “Rise up and call her blessed.” (Continued on page 4) appointed during the Congression al recess are still awaiting con firmation, and some lively fights are anticipated. Battle Over Amlie. The hottest battle so far be tween the Administration and Congress is over the President’s appointment of Thomas R. Amlie, former Representative from the First Wisconsin district, as a member of the Interstate Com merce Commission. .Mr. Amiie servea in congress as a member of the, Progressive party. The Republicans carried Wisconsin last Fall, and defeated Mr. Amiie for Senator. The va cancy on the Interstate Commerce Commission is caused by the death of a Republican member of that bipartisan board. There is considerable resent ment in Congress over the selec tion of a Progressive to replace a Republican, but the fire was fanned into flame when the Legis lature of Wisconsin, by an almost unanimous vote, adopted a resolu tion protesting to the President against the Amiie appointment, and requesting the Wisconsin Sen ators to oppose his confirmation. Charges that Mr. Amiie is a Communist sympathizer have been openly made on the floor of,Con gress. One of the widely-heralded measures which is not likely to get through this Congress is the Patman Anti-Chain-Store law. Well-informed members of' b6th houses are expressing doubt that it will even get out of the com mittee. Maxton All Stars Win 11th Straight Victory Powerful Soots Still Holding Lead, with No Defeat, in Robeson County Tournament. Maxton All Stars defeated Dil lon here tonight 37-15. The pow erful Scots won their eleventh straight victory against no de feats.

The Scots were led by Massy, the big center from Erskine, Brown, Little and Everett, former David son stars. Alford and Moody were out standing for the losers.

Boyle, Ben Taylor, John R. Campbell. -o More Than Million Dollars Commodity Food Distributed More than a million dollars worth of foodstuffs and farm products taken from national areas of glutted markets and overproduction was distributed during 1938 by the commodity distribution division of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare to needy poor in North Carolina, according to figures compiled this month by A. E. Langston, State director of com modity distribution. During the year a total of 23, 989,849 pounds of food having an estimated retail value of $1,076, 927.32 was spread among the needy individuals, school lunch rooms and public institutions of the State. Yearly averages showed 20,955, 375 pounds of commodities going to 28,343 families composed of 130,068 persons, 1,439,743 pounds, to 265 school lunch rooms to give1 free lunches to an average of 21, 529 undernourished children, and 1,594.731 pounds going to age of 8,707 inmates of 26 ‘public institutions. The Federal Surplus Commodity Corporation purchased all the products directly from American growers at times when bumper or excessive crops were being mar keted at depreciated prices, thus assisting producers in procuring better prices tor tneir crops. Purchases from other sources of supply were made when oc casion demanded in order to re lieve already glutted markets, making better prices available to growers with a new crop about to be marketed. In order to dispose of its pur chases without adversely affecting the price of products remaining in normal trade channels, the Fed eral Surplus Commodities Cor poration made allocations of the foodstuffs to welfare or relief agencies in the various states for distribution to needy poor, school lunch rooms, and, under certain conditions, to state institutions. All the commodities were spread among those eligible to receive them in such a manner as to as sure that the food would be con sumed in addition and supple mental to the normal purchases of food by the recipients. -o Hamlet Legion to Sponsor Dance • _ The Hamlet Post No. 49 of the American Legion is sponsoring a dance on Tuesday evening, Febru ary 14, in the new city gymnasium.

Adams, county agent of the State College extension ser vice in Wilson county, says to bacco growers have cleaned more tobacco seed this season than at any time in the past ten years. This may be an indication of how the tobacco acreage will be in creased, he believes. Laurinburg Taxi Driver Beaten and Kidnapped Joe Long In Sumter Hospital in Critical Conditions from Wounds Inflicted by Two Young White Men. Mr. Joe Long, Laurinburg taxi operator, is in a critical condition in a sumter, S. C., hospital with a broken jaw bone, skull fracture and serious lacerations of both legs above the knee and a severe cut on the left hand inflicted by Frank Britt and David Quick, 22 year-old white men of East Laur inburg. It is reported that these men approached Mr. Long about 2:30 Monday afternoon to carry them to McColl, S. C., which he did and upon arriving and locating their party, the two men had vicious words with them before returning to the car. Realizing that he had undesirable passengers, Long came back to East Laurinburg but the men refused to get dUt of the taxi and instead, one of them struck him on the head with a gun and beat him until he was unconscious. Then they threw him iri the rear seat of his own car, a 1939 green Chevrolet, and drove away. According to Mrs. Long, Lee Willis and a Mr. Evans or rast j-aurmourg saw uiem mu nap Long and throw him into the back seat of the automobile and speed away towards Maxton. Officers were notified and a search was immediately begun for the assailants. It is stated that they drove through. Maxton to Red Springs into Rowland and from there into South Carolina. Mr. Long told his wife that at one time he revived, raised up and they again slugged him, knocking him unconscious the second time. A regular dragnet was made by officers of this county apd in South Carolina and the men were captured about 8:30 p. m. in Man ning, and Mr. Long was rushed to a physician who removed him immediately to a hospital in Sumter. They were brought back from Manning, S. C., by Deputy Sheriff Frank Todd ghja Polide man Jesse Gibson and lodged in jail to await trial. Questioned as to the motive of their crime and g&happitig, one stated he was so drunk he did not know what he was doing and the other refused any comment whatsoever. They had taken all the money which Mr. Long had with him but officers recovered about $56 when the men were captured. -o Robert .

Glass, librarian, wishes to call attention to the free reading of detective stories, biographies, the New Encyclopedia and magazines at the Gilbert Pat terson Memorial Lbirary. She also stresses the need for some new magazines, as the ones there have been read and re-read. NEWS AND VIEWS (By the Staff) One of our best subscribers told us the other day that the ma jority of people look for Record er’* Court news the first thing, if that fs the case, there isn’t much we can tell them this time, for Judge McCallum had only three drunks, all pleading guilty andgetting 30 days on the roads, suspended upon payment of costs. And that of David Fairley, pos 'fflf liquor, drunk and resisting er, 10 months on the He took an appeal. As Mr. J. A. Shaw, the solicitor, wags ill at home, the judge had to perform the whole ceremony. Tflere has been so much flu and other illnesses during the past two weeks, we will tell you about that, as names make news. Mrs. Doares, Mrs, D. L. Maynard, Mrs. Neill Smith and her little grandson Glenn Crofton, Dr. R. D. Croom, Jr.,f Angus Medlin, Frank Glass, Miss Sally McLean, Mrs. L. D. Leppard and her little daughter Hearn, Miss Sara Barrow are all betffer, and able to be out. Mrs. F. Coxe, who has been re ceiving treatment in a Charlotte Hospital, is now recuperating at the home of her aunt, Mrs. W. A. West, in Fayetteville. Mrs. Row land Medlin has returned from a Lumberton hospital, and is getting along well. We thought this a rather inter esting statement: If all the people in America should decide to go motoring at the same time, there would be sufficient cars to ac commodate 4.5 persons in each. In Mexico 148 people would have to hlamber into each machine, while in Russia each car would have to carry a load of 322 per sons, John Stansel, chairman of the Maxton tennis club, tells us they are trying to get up enough money to fixjpyo tennis courts af the Am<*j0ife)Legion hut. All these interested in playing tennis, ilass, along a little donation , for this cause. William, the Ice Man, Passes Monday, Feb. 6th ■&&&£ >* Funeral Services for One of Max ton's Best Known and Respect ed Colored Men Is Held Wed nesday Afternoon. William Paige, known in Max ton for the past 18 years as “William, the Ice Man,” passed away Monday, February 6th, at his home bn Wilmington street. William was striken with apoplexy in May, and never recovered, al though he improved for a short while, and tried to resume his work, he soon had to, take to his bed again and has been a patient sufferer for almost two years. He was bom in this county, and moved to Maxton in his youth, and here he spent a long and useful life of service. He was well known to almost every person, certainly to every child in Maxton. His beaming face, for he was always happy, and his cheerful voice raised in song, could be heard as his ice wagon rattled along, with the back end full of youngsters, trying to find a small piece of ice, and William watching out that they didn’t take a tumble. We can well- imagine that he will hear “Well done thou good and faithful servant” for in deed he was faithful even unto death. He is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.

Arrest of the two Negroes who stood trial'followed a number of other arrests and “confessions,” in the case that kept officers baffled months. Identification of a rifle borrow ed by Caper “to shoot a hog” as the one from which the fatal bul let was fired, provided some of the strongest evidence in the case. -o Earnhart Union Meets At Methodist Church Social Hour Held at American legion Hut Following the Regu lar Service.

All Tenancy Is Not Bad, Bullock Says County FS A Supervisor Makes New Farm tease Literature Available to All Interested Farmers. . "Working on the principle that 'all tenancy is not necessarily bad, the Farm Security Administration is offering its services to land lords and tenants who wish to work out plans to improve their leasing arrangements,” said Coun ty Supervisor William E. Bullock, in charge of rural rehabilitation And tenant purchase programs of jjhe FSA in Robeson and Scotland counties. Copies of a new flexible farm lease, and a leaflet describing the new lease and pointing out the ad vantages to both landlord and ten ant of using the written lease, may be had by applying at Mr. Bullock’s office, post office build ing, Lumberton. This material is now available to all interested farmers regardless of whether they are FSA borrowers. "In the past we have been stressing the use of written leases, and leases with extension clauses, among farmers to whom we extend credit; as a result of experience in the field and careful study by experts in Washington assigned to work on this problem of tenure, a flexible farm lease which it is believed covers essentials neces sary to provide a successful land lord-tenant relationship has been prepared and we are now offer ing this lease to farmers general ly,” Mr. Bullock said. The work in tenure improve ment supplements the program which is helping a limited num ber of tenants to buy farms of their own. “While farm ownership is an ideal to look forward to, thou sands of tenant farmers will gradually learn to do better farm ing and to take more interest in the farms on which they live, by the use of written leases work ed out to the mutual advantage of owner and tenant,” Mr. Bullock pointed out. A large per cent of tenants and sharecroppers now have only verbal agreements and no assur ance that they may remain on the same farm beyond the year. “Any arrangement which will increase the security, contentment and happiness of the tenant fam ily will increase its interest in the care and maintenance of the farm which it occupies and will, therefore, safeguard the in terests and investment of the owner.” Mr. Bullock said, “It is realized that it will take considerable time for the general adoption of more stavle tenure, but many landlords and tenants already have seen the advantage of using long-term leases. "With assurance that a tenant may remain on the farm for a number of years, a better farm plan can be made and sound farm plans, of course, are the basis for ample farm credit.” -o Grand Jury Indicts Bully Rogers in Stewart Case Bully Rogers, Indian, was in dicted by the Robeson county grand jury in Superior court Wednesday, charging him with first degree burlary, and robbery with fire arms in the Leach Stewart case. A number of other suspects are being held for action by the grand jury this week, in the Stewart case, in which Mr. Stewart and his family were robbed and mistreated by 5 mask ed men. Solicitor Ertel Carlyle opened prosecution this afternoon of Bricey Hammonds, Indian, charged with the first degree mur der of Lacy Brumbies, 36-year old prison guard Sunday.
