For several weeks citizens here have turned up their noses and complained of an nauseating odor which seemed to float into their homes, remain for a while and then pass uuu tuter lurcuig occupauis vu flee from one rcom to another to evade the offensive smell. Rumor has it that the noxious waved passed into one of the homes here while a card game was in session and nearly caused the ladies to throw in their hand and scatter. The mayor meditated and the water company investigated but no clue to the mystery was forthcoming until Sunday when a news dispatch was sent out of Sandford telling how the people of that town had been disturbed by the odor which was explained as follows by Z. P. Metcalf, professor of Entomology, after one of the bugs had been captured and sent to State College in Raleigh for inspection: ' This insect which you sent is one of the Carrion beetles, closely related to the tumble bug. It occurs very rarely in houses and so far as I know no satisfactory method for its control has ever been worked out. If these insects occur in the house in any particular place,, I would suggest mat you seuuic ParadLchloro-benzine and scatter it about. This matter has not unpleasant odor to most people and gives off a most powerful gas which is reiy deadly to most forms of insect life." Dr. R. W. Leiby of the State Department of Agriculture claims that the odor is caused by the presence if a "nomius pyaeus," a bug which aas it all over the high sheriff when it comes to putting people out of ;heir homes." Board of Education To Name Successor Of John M. Picot When the Board of Education meets in its December session it will consider the election of a successor to John M. Picot as member of the Littleton school board, it was learned yesterday at the office of the superintendent of schools. Mr. Picot presented his resignation at the regular meeting of the ;cunty school board on Monday ind at that time recommended that Joseph P. Pippen, prominent attorney of Littleton, be named his suc;essor. He also presented a paper rearing the signatures of Messrs. Johnston and Walker of the school ; :ommittee as well as a letter from Mrs. Paul A. Johnston, president >f the Parent Teacher Association, ?.nd signed by the nominating comrJttee of that organization enlorsing Mr. Pippen for this posi,ion. In postponing action on the ap- j lointment of Mr. Picot' successor, , * T.rr.c. ct-a+oH that; t.he board was o wao ovuvvu v*mv .'ollowing the usual procedure in , inch cases. The appointment of Vfr. Picot's successor will be made J i special order of business at the ( jecember meeting. , The board ordered that, in ac- ] ordance with allowance of the 1 State Board of Equalization, that he sum of $12.50 for each teacher n the schools would be paid for itove wood, and defined quality md quantity of wood needed and eims under which it was to be deivered for the benefi* of the vari5us school committees of the :ounty. Charles Alston of Judkins requested the board to send truck on l "turn-around" trip one half mile iown to his house for the benefit >f his 17-year-old daughter going o Littleton seven miles away. This natter was referred to the State J 3oard of Equalization. The board >rdered that the district and town- . ;hip committeemen define bus stops vithin their respective jurisdiction , vhere such stops differ from those J ixed by Stat? regulations. This iction was taken after Russell ( 3almer had appeared before the joard requesting that it be done. The board instructed the secre- , ;arv to extend to Stanley Powell ' he sympathy of the members be:ause of the death of his wife, and ;o A1 C. Blalock on account of lickness and the recent loss of his I icme by fire. The afternoon session of the j >oard was devoted to inspection of1 ;he school buses.

Williams, negro woman who farms in the Shocco section. Highly elated over the find made by her son but perplexed at the behavior of Mother Nature in permit-1 ting an untimely offspring, Winnie I came to town later in the day to relate the discovery. According to the woman, her son, H. P. Williams, found the vine with, twelve melons attached growing ini a sawdust pile. Ten of the melons, I she said, were about the size of the one brought here and the other two were smaller. "We cut one this morning and it was very good, but a little too ripe," she said. Stolen Automobile Foundi Abandoned A Chevrolet automobile stolen from Mrs. H. P. Read and daughter while they were in church Sunday night was recovered in the woods near the home of W. H.

Judge's Experience Saves Defendant Fine MALDEN, Mass. Nov. 3.?Judge J Elbridge G. Davis went hunting a few days ago, heard a shot and picked up a dead crow, its body still warm. As a result, Allen P. Druggan was saved a fine today. A game warden said he found Druggan with gun in one hand and a pheasant in the other. The, pheasant's body was still warm, he said. I i "I heard a shot," Druggan explained, "and found the pheasant." "The same thing happened to me," Judge Davis said. "I heard a shot, came upon a crow and picked It up. Any one who saw me would certainly have given me credit for shooting the crow. But I didn't and I find the defendant not guilty. ONE CASE IN COURT Allis Davis, negro charged with assault, figured in the only bill of indictment presented before Judge IV. W. Taylor in Recorder's court Monday morning. Pound guilty, judgment was .suspended upon the j payment of costs. . If W\. arr^n 4 r OF WARREN, N.

Especially favorable reIts are reported from Lenoir coun. 1 where 20 growers produced 191 as of excellent hay from 83 1-2 res. "This hay is of the best quality, oroughly cured before weighing id will aid tnese zu iarmers in uv; at home this winter," says Ehos s Blair, extension agronomist at I ate College. "Each of the men r id the common variety which was t mted on oats last spring. No re- 1 :d was kept on the amount of oat p y produced. The lespedeza hay g is cut during the last week in I igust which gave the crcp ample \ ne to reseed" the lard for an- \ ler crop next season." \ lacob West of Kinston made the it record, says Mr. Blair. This p. mer secured 6,750 pounds of cur- p hay an acre on five acres. The q id was seeded originally in 1930. p T. Hartley of Kinston secured 6,- q ) pounds of dry hay an acre from t le and one-half acres seeded this ing. From these good yields, the irage ranged downward to 1,740 c inds of hay an acre. The average & Id secured by all 20 men was t, 98 pounds. is a result of the splendid yields a ured in Lenoir County this seai, farm agent C. M. Brickhouse orts plans for a larger acreage it season. He said the saving in cr permitted by planting the les. Ci ieza on small grain at a time 13 en other farm work is not press- c ; was a decided advantage over d wing such other legume crops n soybeans or cowpeas. The ability 5 reseed when the hay is cut early n >ugh is another advantage caus; lespedeza to find favor with s! aoir iarmers. t a ATTENDS CONVENTION * larold R.
