Glasgow ; IV -Isaac JLedbetter " To the Merchants of ; Richmond County: Gentlemen: As a result'of pressure brought to bear upon the Food Adminis tration at Washington by the Food Administrators of other southern states, Mr. Hoover has granted an exception to the re cent combination sales order of the Food Administration for the benefit of the farmer who has his own cereal substitutes and is using them. Without discussing the wis dom of the ruling we have to announce that in order to pur sue a uniform policy throughout the southern states the same ex ception will be granted for the benefit of North Carolina farmers who produce and are using their own cereal substitutes. In order to keep this exception from de stroying the effectiveness of the order of the Food Administra tion the following formal ruling is announced. Retail merchants are hereby author ized to sell flour alone in quantities not exceeding 24 pounds to farmer customers who sign a formal certificate stating that they have produced and are using corn meal, grits, hominy or other cereal ub stitutes contained in the list included in the recent order of the Food Administra tion to the same extent as they use flour. Wholesalers, jobbers, millers and brok ers are hereby authorized to sell to re tailers flour alone in such quantities as said retailers have sold to farmers under the ruling, above stated, balancing against such sale of flour the certificates received by the retailer from the farmer. These certificates in turn may be used by the wholesaler or other dealer to balance against purchases of flour from mills. We also desire to call your at tention to the fact that, as an nounced by the Food Adminis tration Monday, retail food deal ers doing a business of less than $100,000 are not subject to license Feb. 15th when such license be comes effective for all manufac turers and jobbers and for those retailers who do a business of $100,000 per year. Very truly yours W. N. EVERETT, County Food Administrator. Bloodhounds at Work. Saturday night some one broke into the smokehouse of a colored man, Caleb Cottman, three miles from Rockingham, and stole two sides of meat, a shoulder and a ham. Sunday Sheriff Baldwin was called in for "consultation." He secured the two bloodhounds owned by the county, from Con vict Camp No. 1, and used them to such advantage that they fol lowed a trail from Murphy Moore's house to a swamp, 300 yards distant, and there found the meat hidden under some brush; the dogs then followed the back" trail to the house. Moore was arrested and was required to give bond for his appearance at the next term of criminal court. These bloodhounds have been quite successful in following the human trail, and quite a number of convictions have resulted from their "evidence." Evil doers had better be careful to leave no tracks or scent behind, or the bloodhounds will get them "ef they don' watch out." Too Much Flour. J. T. Sheppard, who lives sev eral miles west of Ellerbe, was given a hearing before U. S. Commissioner Guthrie at Rock ingham last Monday charged with violating the food regula tion order. He was charged with having in his possession "more than a reasonable amount" of flour, towit, three barrels. Com missioner Guthrie found him technically guilty, and he was dismissed with the pledge, that he would strictly adhere to the food regulations in the future.

Figure Iwith $1.50 for a new year lor tne Fatal Auto Accident A fatal automobile accident oc curred at 2 o'clock Sunday.where in two persons were killed and 3 seriously injured, when an auto mobile, owned and operated by Mannie Shapiero, of Marlboro county, S. C, ran off the bridge crossing the Seaboard railroad three miles east of Hamlet. The bridge is approached on a heavy curve and the driver, evi dently lost control, going off the side of the bridge, and the car and occupants fell 35 feet to the railroad track below. G. R. Rob ertson, R. F. D. 3, Marlboro, S. C, was instantly killed, and his wife and two children badly injured; they are age 3 months and 3 years, respectively. The driver, Mannie Shapiero, lingered in the Hamlet hospital until this (Thursday at 7 a.m.); when death relieved him of his sufferings. Mrs. Robertson and the infant will recover, but the three-year-old child is today (Thursday) unconscious and re covery is doubtful. During the brief time the car hung over the edge of the bridge before taking the fatal plunge, Maurice Fleshman, of Baltimore, nephew of Shapiero, who was on the front seat with the driver, jumped out on the bridge and escaped injury. About four weeks ago Ben Ingram, colored, ran off the same bridge and fell the distance of 35 feet, but with three weeks' treat ment at the hospital he was able to go home. Robberies at Clio. A bank, a dry goods store and a drug store at Clio, S. C, were entered Saturday night, but aside from shoes and such things nothing of large value was stolen. Sheriff Baldwin was sent for Sunday afternoon to run down the criminals with the county bloodhounds, but the trail was too old fifteen hours after the robberies.
