WATCH OUT FOR
BOGUS $10 BILLS!
Lassiter, Pender’s Store Clerk in Aberdeen
Calls Police As Dubious Note Is
Tendered For Groceries
Investigation Reveals Four Other
Business Places Had Accepted
Spurious Money as Genuine;
Federal Men Notified
ONE ARREST IS MADE
ABERDEEN, Nov. 25—In the
event you have the good fortune
to come into intimate contact
with a ten dollar note, otherwise
designated as a “sawbuck,” ex
amine it with extreme care, for
the Aberdeen police picked up
five counterfeit ten spots here
today and arrested Andrew Wil
liams, colored, of Durham, and
charged him with passing one of
the worthless papers.
Tom Lassiter, manager of the
Pender store, thought that a ten
dollar bill he said Williams
handed him did not feel or look
like one of Uncle 'Sam’s -master
pieces. He detained the negro
and called the police. Officer
Beck responded.
I It later developed that phoney
ten spots had been taken in at
Allen’s store, Bryan Drug coim
pany, Matthew’s Market and Mc
Donald’s grocery. All were given
by negroes in payment for small
purchases and change was hand
ed back.
Williams protested his inno
cence at first, but under examin
ation admitted having • hidden
four other ten dollar bills in a
door jamb of the K and G lunch.
He told the police that a strange
negro approached him at the
railroad station and asked him to
change a $10 bill. Williams gave
the man one $5 bill and five $1
bills in good money and received
in return a folded $10 bill which
when unfolded was found to en
close four other bills. These were
the five bills for which Williams
is held responsible.
Williams denied knowledge of
the bills passed in the other
stores.
Officer Beck called Mr. Pad
gete in Charlotte, who is head of
the Secret Service ini this state,
and a representative is expected
to continue the investigation.

AMBROSE O'CONNELL
SAYS EARLY HOUBAY
HELP TO MERCHANTS
Ambrose O’Connell, Assistant
to the Postmaster General, who
with former Congressman J. Wal
ter Lambeth of Thomasville, N.
C., is spending a few days of rest
and relaxation at the Pine Need
les, stated when interviewed at
the, hotel that he already saw
a definite trend most beneficial
to the merchants as a result of
the President’s early Thanksgiv
ing date, which he had celebrated
in Washington before entrain
ing for Southern Pines.
The early buying will in turn
spread the heavy Christmas mail
ings over a wider period, and in
some measure lighten the bur
dens of the Post Office Depart
ment, which is now in the throes
of solving such complex prob
lems as rerouting, censorship and
the thousand and one emergencies
which arise in even a neutral na
tion during a war. The length of
time required to search foreign
parcel mailings fpr contraband is
in itself an acute problem, and ta
king into consideration the fact
that planes out of Port Wash
ington bound for Portugal are
now carrying a ton of .mail,
whereas the extent of the U. S.
government subsidy is only# 800
pounds, the complications are go-,
ing to increase. , •

The WORLD of TODAY
Air Raid Result Disputed
By the Associated Press
British and German official communications fail to agree on the
results of a contest at sea in which Nazi bombers attacked British
warships. The Germans claim four direct hits but London says that
while many bombs were dropped, all missed and felL into the ocean.
The Germans also feinted at Naval bases in the Orkney and i
Shetland Islands and on the Clyde river.
Mine Sowing Protest Asked
Great Britain has asked neutral nations to protest to Germany
against unrestricted mine sowing in reply to communications from;
six nations which object to seizing of German exports regardless of
the bottoms in which the goods are being transported. The Nether
lands, Belgium, Italy, Japan, Sweden and Denmark have all made,
or plan to make, representations to Great Britain. In reply the
Admiralty has announced that it will put the seizure plan in force on
Tuesday. -
Mines have replaced submarines as the chief menace to ship
ping. An Associated Press survey lists 29 ships sunk in the past
seven days, the most destructive week since the war started. Sev
enteen of these ships were sunk by mines. A total of 158 ships have
been sunk since the war started, with a gross tonnage of 595,229.
Italy Prepares Her Forces
From Rome annduncement came that Italy was maintaining
swollen war trade, and at the same time extending military prepara
tion, as Mussolini told foreign correspondents that Italy might en

MAN ABOUT TOWN

Bill Gale, riding instructor of the Pinehurst LiVery Stables
is back . . . it took him a week traveling from his summer spot, the
Equinox in Manchester, Vt. ... he has many children “pets” among
the Sandhills riding colony and it was calling on these youngsters
in the various^ cities on the way down which delayed him . . . sort of
a minister without portfolio. . .
The former log cabin Gun Club, located on Woods Road will
not be idle this season in view of the fact that the shooting head
quarters have been moved to the vicinity of the Pinehurst Kennels.
The quaint log structure will be used this season for picnic parties,
moonlight rides and other such horsey get-togethers.
That V-8 cocktail, made of the pure juice of eight garden-fresh
vegetables, obtainable at the Country Club Grill, must be good.

ington when he attacked the
President’s plan to impose new
duties for the purpose of raising:

for national defense,” said Con

ouflage for further extravagance
by the Federal government.”
- Congressman Treadway is a
minority member of the Ways and
Means committee where new
thoughts on taxes are originated.
Senator Vandenberg of Michi
gan gave qualified endorsement
to the President’s plan, saying
the taxes should be on a pay-as
you-go. basis. • ,
The nation’s defense 'expendi
tures, which President Roosevelt
indicated yesterday would be fur
ther increased, are averaging
during the curreht year about
$14 per person—man woman or
child. -
Official figures showed the ar
my has or anticipates funds to
talling $956,013,029, including a
deficiency estimate of $119,000,
000 which Mr. Roosevelt sent to
Congress this month to cover ex
traordinary expenses due to the.
European war.
The navy’s share of, the bill for'
the fiscal year ending next June*
