Clock Stolen By
Yankees Is Returned
BOSTON, April 30.?An old clock
taken by Yankee sailors on a foraging
trip during the Civil War,
war started back to its Georgia
plantation home today aboard the
steamer City of Montgomery after
it had ticked away for 67 years
waiting for this gesture of restitution.
It was the Grand Army cf the
Republic camp at Attleboro, together
with Edmond H. Gingas, who
bought it at an auction sale, which
arranged for the return of the clock
to Capt. H. P. King, U. S. A., a
lineal descendant of Thomas B.
lung, 01 st. simons isiana, ua.,
Confederate commissioner and the
original owner.
The clock's history was discovered
by Gingas when examining his pur- 1
chase. He found inside beside the 1
maker's name a pencilled note, 1
"taken from the plantation home
of Hon. Thomas B. King, St. Simons f
Island, St. Simons Sound, Georgia, 1
U. S. A. Ethan Allen on blockade,
January 10, 1863." <
There iollowed an extensive cor- J
respondence with Brunswick, Ga.,
and the discovery that three granddaughters
of the Confederate commander
were living on the island
and that Captain King was a direct
descendant. The latter is now stationed
at Port Leavenworth, Kan. 1

This is the only one of the towns

the three-day session of
;he State Medical society held at

Chiidren Required
To !Be Vaccinated
All six-year-old children entering
school this coming September are
required to be vaccinated against
smallpox. In calling attention to
this law passed by the beard of
health last year, Mrs. J. S. Jones,
county nurse, said that the children
could be vaccinated either by the
family physician or county nurse.
tvio tvnh.-?iri clinic will be held
* **v f-? ? ? _
the latter part of July and the first
part of August. Mrs. Jones advises
that school children be vaccinated
at an early date so they will not
have to take the two treatments at
the same time. Another reason for
early vaccination pointed out by
Mrs. Jones is that body scores are
more prevalent later in the year,
and might prevent the child being
given the treatment.
Mrs. Jones announced that she
would be in her office at the court
house each Saturday from 9 to 12
o'clock, beginning May 3, to vaccinate
the children.
Mr. R. T. Walston of Drewry was
a visitor here yesterday.

The past year has been one of a

total enrollment has increased very o:
little in the past few years, the "
number of high school graduates h
becomes larger each year, a tribute 13
to the effectiveness of instruction ^
in the lower grades and showing a h
greater appreciation of a high school n
education, according to the educa- fl
tor. Seventh grade State examina- k
tions held in all schools of the tl
county this year showed fewer
failures than in any previous year, d
This, according to Mr. Allen, not S
bnly shows that the instruction v
given in the lower school is more tl
effective and up to the standard re- ft
quired by the State, but promises \
well for the fuller development of h
the high schools. d

five weeks off and there is yet time s
to file. w
The more than 25 office seekers j
are hard at work seeking to bring y
out as many votes as possible, and
'are reaching into every voting pre- h
cint in Warren. The campaign this
far has been unusually free from ^
mud slinging and bitterness that
often marked the campaigns in the g(

Democratic Gains
NEW YORK, April 30.?Celebratig
the first anniversary of his apointment
as chairman of the natanal
executive committee of the
iemocratic party, Jouett Shouse, of
[ansas, came to town today for a
hort visit predicting his party will
rin at least 40 seats in the next
louse of Representatives and six in
tie Senate.
"Put it down in your book new,"
e said. "We will add at least forty
eats?and I think probably more
tian fifty?in the next House and
re are going to annext six, possibly
even or eight Senate seats."
Fresh from a swing around the
auntry conferring with Democratic
;aders, Mr. Shouse said that
'ranklin D. Roosevelt, Owen D.
'oung, Governor Alfred E. Smith,
fewton D. Baker and Senator
oseph T. Robinson were the leadlg
men being discussed by Demorats
for the 1932 presidential nomiation.
"There is a lot of talk about
ranklin Roosevelt," Mr. Shouse
lid. "The Democratic leaders all
ver the country like him and think
e has done a fine job. Also they are
liking a lot about Owen u. Young,
mith is greatly beloved by Demorats
as he is tremendously admired
3r his courage and ability. The
/est is shouting that Newton D.
laker is the man. He (Senator
lobinson) is a big man with a great
blowing in the rank and file of the
arty.
Prohibition, the Democratic execute
believes, is hurting the Repubcan
party more than it is the
>emocrats. Mr. Shouse says seriouslinded
people everywhere are beinning
to recognize that something
i wrong with present conditions
nd that something must be done,
/hat that is, he didn't say.
Mr. Shouse said that the Middle
/est was in revolt against the

"The farm relief program is a
list," he said. "The only ones now
lore bitter than the farmers are the
rain dealers.
He said the main purpose of his
isit to New York was to confer
ith Governor Roosevelt, who left
iday for Warm Springs, Ga., forler
Governor Smith and other
arty leaders here. He said his visit
ere. immediately after Senator

"OFFICERS CATCH

Hinton Eludes Bloodhounds
Early Sunday Morning; Is
Captured On Tuesday
WAS ESCAPED CONVICT
Eluding officers in a five-hour
chase that began near Littleton
Saturday night and ended near
Norlina at 6 o'clock on Sunday
morning, John C. Hinton, white
man, charged with storebreaking
larceny, was captured by Franklin
county officers Tuesday night at
10 o'clock on the Tar river bridge
a few miles this side of Franklinton.
K. P. Topping, chief of police of
Littleton, was called to the scene of
a wreck on the edge of town late
Saturday afternoon. He found that
a Chrysler car had collided with a
telephone pole. Lack of cause for
the accident caused the chief to investigate
the contents of the car.
He found two suitcases filled with
a number of new suits from which
every tag had been removed. Witnesses
of the accident testified that
a man had jumped from the car
with a suitcase and run. into the
nearby woods following the wreck,
that one of the men had gone to
see a doctor and that a third had
gone up the street.
Chief Topping found the driver
of the car at a local service station
and placed him under arrest. He
gave his name as Burt Hilton. They
returned to the car just as Raymond
Brickhouse, alias Jack Reid,
another occupant of the car, came
up. He was arrested. Both men
were sent to the police station under
the custody of Deputy Howard Salmon
and Chief Topping continued
his investigation, returning to the
station a few minutes later to continue
his questioning of the prisoners.
Attracted to the scene of the
hearing, Sam Dowtin, negro of near
Littleton, told Chief Topping that
he had seen the four men removing
tags from several suits of clothing
in a woods near his home earlier in
the morning. A new necktie worn
by Burt Hilton bore the name of
an Oxford clothing store. A telephone
conversation with Chief
Hutchins of Oxford revealed that
there had been a robbery committed
in that town the previous night, and
that he and the owner of the store
would arrive in Littleton shortly to
identify the clothing. Thereupon
the prisoners confessed that the
articles were stolen from the Oxford
store. Following identification of
the articles the prisoners were
taken to Oxford to await trial.
As soon as it was established that
police were dealing with robbers,
a telephone call was sent to Enfield
for bloodhounds. They arrived
shortly after midnight and the
trail was taken up only to be lost
a few hours later. Hilton eluded arrest
at Wake Forest early Tuesday
nierht and led the officers a chase
until he was captured at Tar river
and taken to the Oxford jail.
Questioned at Oxford, Hilton and
Brickhouse confessed that they had
sold 70 suits to Joseph Cannon, an
Assyrian of Wake Forest. Cannon
has been arrested and is awaiting
trial on a charge of receiving stolen
goods.
The Chrysler car was found to
have been stolen from Thomas B.
Wynne of Elizabeth City. It is said
that both Brickhouse and Hilton are
escaped convicts from Caledonia
prison farm. Belie! tliat these men
robbed the Cash Company store at
Warrenton on last Tuesday night
could not be substantiated as B. C.
Hilliard, proprietor, was not able to
positively identify any of the cloth,
ing, although he said that several
of the suits were similar to ones
taken from his store.

She was bronzed by thfc African
