VOL. XXXVI
THE PROPOSED RECORDER'S
COURT FOR GRANVILLE MEETS !
it Is Either That Or Hav Mnm
Terms Of the Superior Court !
A Recorder's Court for the County j
is now being considerably discussed, j
especially by members of the bar.
. . . ... i
At various times in tne past the es
tablishment of such a Court has been
suggested, but the movement re
ceived additional impetus recently on
account of the crowded condition of
the Superior Court calendar. At the
last term of Court a large number of
criminal cases of minor importance
took up several days of the Court's
time. For a year or more the civil
calendar has been getting in a clog
ged condition and cases cannot be
reached as rapidly as they would.
A number of the lawyers have
heretofore been opposed to such a
Court, but we are informed that - at
present all of them, favor it. At the
last term of Court Judge Allen sev
eral times suggested the need of a
Recorder's Court for the County and
advised that it be established. He
stated that for many years he had
been opposed to th.ese courts, but hav
ing, seen thek effectiveness of their
work in other counties he, had chang
ed his opinion about them. He said
that such courts had effected a great
saving in the counties where they had
been established in the way of jail
fees, time of witnesses and suitors
consumed.
These considerations have had their
effect here and we lea, that the
members of tne bar are working on
the proposition in the hope of estab
lishing such a court will fit' he condi
tions of this county. Such a Court
would have jurisdiction of misdemea
nors and an enlarged civil jurisdiction
with right of appeal to the Superior
Court. It appears certain that it
will be necessary either to establish
such a Court for the County or else
to have more terms of Superior Court.
DISTINGUISHED HIGHWAY ENGI
NEER SPENT FEW DAYS HERE
Mr. Henry G- Sherley, Secretary Of-
the Federal Highway Council,
Sounds An Optimistic Note.
Mr. Henry G. Sherley, . one of the
most noted highway builders of the
United States, spent a few days in
Oxford last week at the home of
father-in-law, Judgk Graham.
Mr. Sherley was for.. . many.year&
head of the Highway Commission of
Maryland. He, is a democrat, but
on one occasion the republicans paid
him an everlasting compliment On
this particular occasion a bill was
pending in Congre-s to expend sev
eral million of dollars for highwa
construction. While the questldh
was being debated, a republican
rose from his seat and said: "If
Henry G. Sherley will have the hand
ling of this money I am for the mea
sure." And it so happened that Mr.
Sherley has spent many million and
every cent was accounted for and not
a penny was spent foolishly.
Mr. Sherley is secretary of the
Federal Highway Council. He is
frequently called to all parts of the
Unit ji States and consulted on high
way problems. He spent a few days
in Winston-Salem, Greensboro and
Raleigh recently, and found a heal
thy sentiment in favor of good roads-
"All of the Federal and State
highways," said Mr. Sherley, "will
be completed in the next five years."
This means that the National
Highway from Washington to Atlan
ta, the Capital to Capital Highways,
and the highways linking up the
county slats will have the attention
of the Federal and State govern
ments within the next five years-

Times may be hard with some folks
but apparently the grafter and the

for their operations. And that field
is not confined to the great cities. It
is here in Granville as well.
One Allen Vaughan, a negro Hying
near Fairport, f ell a victim last week.
Standing near a warehouse he saw a
well-dressed ginger-cake colored man
pick up a pocket-book. - His curiosi
ty was aroused and unon enaiiirv he
learned tnat the purse contained con
siderable money and also some gov
ernment bonds. The finder and his
companion, who then approached,
averred that they could get the bonds
redeemed if they just had a little
more money. Vaughan, happily or
rather unhappily, happened to have
$220 in his pocket, the proceeds of a
load of tobacco thkt day sold. This
was just about the amount needed to
effected the redemption of the bonds
and the securing of the value of tne
contents of the purse. As the bonds
were worth $1100 Vaughan was easi
ly persuaded to put up the $220 on
the promise that it would be return
ed within fifteen minutes along with
$200 which he was to be given for his
aid in the matter. The two sharpers

of the bonds. Vaughan waited the
fifteen minutes for their return. In
fact he waited considerably longer
thinking possibly that some unforseen
difficulty had prevented their return
as quickly as piomised. He is still
waiting.
The matter was not reported to the
police officers until next day. Chief
Hobgood did everything possible to
locate the men, but, of course, they
had long since disappeared and had
effectively covered their tracks.
Vaughan persists in saying that he
was hypnotized,

The tendency of the local building
market is the subject of almost as
frequent and as anxious inquiry as
the high cost of living, deflation, or

iv involved in all of these questions,
and quite inseparable from them-
The need for more nomes nere is
growing more instead of less acute.
Those who have waited patiently
for a decline in labor and building

MILLIONS FOR HARD SURFACED
RODS BUT NOT ONE PENNY
1 .FOR SAND-CLAY ROADS
tuovemor Morrison wants Warring
Factions To Unite On Program
Proclaimed By Both Parties.
Raleigh, Jan. 224 Millions for
hard surfaced roads but not a penny
for the sand-clay kind is the high
way slogan of Governor Morrison.
8,000 Miles Wanted.
Some of the best engineers in the
ptate have advised Mr. Morrison that
three thousand miles of hard sur
faced highways will connect every
county in North Carolina, ajid this is
his ambition. They can be built in
five years, he is further informed,
but compelling legislation supported
by ample funds must turn the trick
and not theoretical ideas. He doesn't
want a quarrel with any one on the
roads proposition, but. he .does want
the warring ' factions to surrender
their pride of paternity "in the a bills
and .stand, aside for "the . administra
tion program..
Both Parties For It
The democrats , and republicans
are bound by platform planks to hard
surfaced roads. He declared for the
hard surfaced roads in his speeches
I during the campaign and with par
ticular force after a few trips through
the mountainous western counties.
John Parker, attending the great
loads rally staged by Colonel Kirk
patrick when the special session was
on hand last summer, acclaimed the
hard surfaced program. And now
that the law makers are together,
the republicans are either trying to
outdo the democrats on the roads
question for the partisan purposes of
setting a trap for the majority.

Washington, N. C, Jan. 23 A cer
tain young devout church woman of
this city, whose given name is Rebec
ca, never missed divine services, but
orien id late.
Last Sunday she arrived just as
the pastor wa3 reading from the
scriptures the story of Rebecca at the
well as told in Genesis, 24th chap-
ler.
As the late comer tripped up the
aisle, he minister read:
"And behold Rebecca came forth."

of the worshippers. : Blushes flood

the' clergyman, reading quite obliv
ious to the situation- '
Snickers- from 'the youngsters,
broader smiles from the grown-ups
and half-suppressed giggles from the
hali-growns were the- response.
By that time Miss Rebecca had
reached the pew. She stumbled in
and sank down as if she hoped the
cushions would swallow her.
"Let the damsel abide with us,"
concluded the minister, .closing his
book and ending the reading much, to
the relief of Rebecca-

they are thus securing an unfair
advantage of merchants in other

a ' concerted movement on the part
of the house wives of New Bern, to
put into operation a co-operative
enterprise for the purpose of actual

sufficiently for the farmulation of

their wits' end to make ends meet
with the limited appropriation for
table expenditures under the family

Faced with the probability of a
reduction in salaries, and with rents
absolutely and table costs almost as
high as they ever were, the determi
nation has about been reached thrtt
since the grocers and butchers are
unwilling to bear their proportion
