Hudgins Dies At Marion Home D. E. Hudgins, a brother of J. A. Hudgins of Warrenton and a ' prominent citizen of Western North | Carolina, dropped dead at his ' home at Marion on Wednesday ahout 9 O'ClOCk. Mr. Hud 11JVA I gins had many friends here and before his health failed was a frequent visitor to his brother's home. He had been an invalid for the past three years, but had shown improvement in recent weeks and physicians had expressed hope that he would regain his health. Death was attributed to a heart attack. Mr. Hudgins, who was 59 years of age, gave up his law practice three years ago. When his health failed he was considered one of the leading attorneys in Western North Carolina and upon learning of his death this morning Superior Court in session at Marion was ordered recessed. Mr. Hudgins was born in Warrenton in 1869 and moved to Marion after graduating from the University of North Carolina Law School in 1892. Five children survive, Misses j Mary and Mildred Hudgins, of Marion; Mrs. J. M. Oglesby, of Concord; and Carter Hudgins and D. E. Hudgins Jr. ( Etrrpit OF WARREN, N. C " r. ======= Many Citizens > ** Board To Reduce Taxes This Week Outstretched hands and pleading voices to "Gimme, gimme, gimme," must sum ud the way a board of tired commissioners felt on Wednesday afternoon after listening for three solid days to folks of this county who wanted their taxes reduced. The board met , here Monday as an equalization body and they plugged through until many were heard, some appeased and others went away dissatisfied. Their's was a thankless task. The law provides that the com missioners only may alter value of : real estate every fourth year unless there has been extraordinary circumstances. For instance, the relocation of a highway, the removal of timber, the destruction of a building by fire. This was the third year and extraordinary circumstances only were supposed to enter into any change of valuation. Taxpayers had many ideas of extraordinary circumstances, how- 1 ever, and the board heard all * patiently and strove, though vexed : some times, to approximate jus- ' tice. Many values were changed, ' always lowered, of course, but many 1 more taxpayers, whose claims did not meet with the definition of ex- ' traordinary circumstances, had to ' go home disappointed. J Rod well And Young \ Are On Motor Trip J Bound for the great open spaces of the West, with tours of the Na- y tional parks and a jaunt into Cana- c da, Charles Ray Rod well and his roommate of the past four years, John Young Jr. of Antlers, Va., departed by motor yesterday morning for Birmingham. Both gentlemen were graduated during the past year from Virginia Military Institute and they are to commence work this Fall?one with Westinghouse and the other with General Electric. From now until the first of September they will view the scenic wonders of an America which stretches to the Rockies and beyond to the tranquil waters of the Pacific. They plan to return through the Northern part of the country. Yesterday they gave Birmingham as their first destination and then out through New Orleans, Texas and by the Grand Canyon to the coast. Numbers of school friends, in many States of the Union, will be visited and will break an otherwise tiring ride by the social atmosphere of their homes.

The company, however, will retain its contracts for newsprint.

D. ormsby Harvey George and Rufus Fisher await the deliberations of a Warren county jury at the September term of court. The two white men were arrested following the inquest of Coroner E. Hunter Pinnell and jury last Friday. Mr. Ormsby was found in the Macon road about two miles from town last Thursday evening. Rufus Fisher was lying at his side, both men on the right side of the center of the road. Fisher was carried to jail. He had been drinking. George came to town. The coroner's jury, empanelled on Thursday night, did not reaach i verdict until late Friday afternoon and then only after hearing evidence from. many. They said ;hat "E. D. Ormsby came to his ieath as a result of being clubbed with sticks, dragged into the public highway and run over by an automobile driven by unknown parses." Members of the jury were (Vbner Shearin, T. R. Frazier, C. F. Moseley, A. J. Smiley, W. H. Overoy and Bignall Jones. The jury Jiat George and Fisher should be cept for court investigation. In testifying before the jury, Dr. N. D. Rodgers Jr., county health officer, expressed the opinion that ;he head wounds of Ormsby were lot in themselves sufficient to lave caused death. Mr. Ormsby vas a man of about 50 years of age tnd had been an employe of the Peck Manufacturing Co. for a num>er of years. George and Fisher arm near town. "I pulled off the highway and Prank Neal and I started over ;oward Fisher when a car came over the hill, headed toward War enton, Coming along at the same ;ime from Warrenton was another :ar driven by Edward Bell, the son )f R. L. Bell. The car from Henlerson passed over Ormsby and Dulled him several yards and then itopped."

Falkener said that due to the flare of the approaching car of 3ell that he did not see the man n the highway until it was too ate to stop. His party came to Varrenton for the inquest at Alen Funeral parlors, and were later eleased. Both Warren officers expressed he opinion that Ormsby was pracically dead before he was struck iy the Satterwhite car. His arm vas broken and his head battered vhen we arrived, Mr. Snipes said. Unable to weave a web of evilence about any one Thursday light, the jury went back to work nriday morning. The net has closd about Harvey George and Rufus nisher. Sturdy oak sticks, cudgel lorm, vere brought before the jury, mute vidence that they figured as intruments of death. Signs of a cuffle in the woods, and where a lody had been dragged to the highway, a suspended buckle belonging o Ormsby clothing, found where he body was dragged under the ence, led the jury to believe that )rmsby was clubbed and then ilaced in the highway where he i'as driven over by an automobile, luspicion pointed to George and "isher and they are in jail await, ng trial at September term of ourt.
