EACGAGEMASTER FATALLY HURT E. T, Elder Fell From Train ar.d Died Lat ter, Report Says Edward T. Eider, 26-year old b ig jr-vc r '.ter on Norfolk F- ulh n ttra n No. 3, was probably fatally 'injured etrly Eunday morning when Ee iell froio the rear' platform of lhe train and si.rtu.-k his 1 -ad on th ■ croet tie-5 a few hundred yards north tit the station at Ea.de Hock. The accident wh'ch resulted in the injury to the man war covered with mystery becaust he did not rouse from a lomi-coiw•; iu- : condition. No on*» saw him f !1 from the train. Elder wa; f.i t missed by the train crew at Mi iulesey about ten miles from Eagle K-a k where the body was found. Tncy searched the train for him there, Lut could not find him. but apparently he was on the train for ten miles after the search was mrde. He vas rushed to R«' v Hospital where it was stated that his injuries -'d rob dd\ result in his death. H s sku 1 wa badly fractured. When the train arrived in Wendell which is still several miles further from Raleigh than Eagle Rock, Elder did not appear to take charge of baggage which was put on the train. Th'- Norfolk Southern office at Ral eigh •'•nr notified and train No. 2 jnd r aht truns were ordered to look i ut for Elder along the track. Trains Nos. 2 ami if passed a Boush ull ar.d at that station Elder’s hand bag was found on the back platform jof t ' a No I!. Train No. 2 proceeded on to Eagle Rock where Elder was found lying near the track a few hundred yards north of the station near a water tower. He had been lying there about an hour according to the train uchedules. Bloodstains were found in the mid wile of the track where he struck. He hud a Pullman towel in his hand and it is assumed that he had gone to the Pullman wash room to clean up prior to reaching Raleigh. It is be lieved that he went to the rear plat form of'the train and was thrown oi'f by a sudden jolt of the train. Where Elder was while the crew was searching for him betw-een Middlesex and Eagle Rock is a mystery. Dr. W. M. Strickland, of Wendell, gave Elder immediate medical at tention, and ordered him rushed to Rex Hospital here. Elder was born on January 17, 1800. He went to Raleigh from Fitz gerald, Georgia, and entered the ser vice of the Norfolk Southern in Sep tember 1923. He had previously been employed by the Atlanta, Bir mingham and Atlanta Railroad. He had been- baggage master on Norfolk Southern trains Nos. 3 and 4 be tween Raleigh and Norfolk for about four months. He is survived by his widow to whom he was married about a year ago, and his father, P. E. Elder, of Bienna, Georgia. He lived at 126 South H rrington street. Mrs. Elder was in Jacksonville, Flordia, visiting her sister when the accident occurred. MR. E. G. MOSS M VKES IMPORTANT DISCOVERY Commi.-sionc r of Agriculture Wil- | liam A. Graham has informed the I state papers that he will shortly call 1 a meeting of farmers, fertilizer peo-; pie and tobacco manufacturers to dis-j cuss “an important discovery” by j E. G. Moss, of Oxford, in connection 1 with tobacco produced with muriate <f potash. This announcement fol. lowed an official visit to the Tobacco Test Farm of the State Department of Agricultures at Oxford, made in ( company with F. S. Mi'ler, in charge : of the Department’s Test Farms. "E. G. Moss, in charge of the Ox- j ford farm, has made a very import-1 and discovery,” said Commissioner Graham, “in that he has found that tobacco grown with muriate of pot ash makes just as good a yield as that grown with sulphate of potash, I consider this a very important dis covery, as for years it was thought that sulphate of potash produced a much better product. “However,” continued Commission- j er Graham, “it will be necessary to j have the burning process tested out ! before definate conclusion or recoin- j mer.dations can be made. In order that there may he a full discussion of this probiem, I shall call a meet- ! ing -f farmers, fertilizer people and tobacco manufacturers and ask them to consider it from ail standpoints in an effort to reach such conclusions as may be of benefit to all concerned. The best interests of the tobacco far-' mers must be the first point to be 'taken into consideration in this mat- j ter,” Commissioner Graham said. DAN CUPII) STAGES COMEBACK, i Ia < .L, -i I i ,1 i L UII.O ijlill)*!. Again t h s been proven that though you may down Daniel Cupid it i« impossible to keep him down. D; niel staged a complete comeback here this week when Edward Warren, .. u-hful bridegroom, eloped with his •bride, who was taken from him by her mother the first night of the r nan ed i.fe. The bride, who is !;■ . linn fifteen years old, had been placed in school by h; r parents, and it was from the school house that he ran v.ay with her husband dum dispatch says. Warren was marri -d to Miss Odies Godwin in Dillon, S. C., on August 27, last, ih«* couple running away for the purpose of becoming husband and wife. They returned to the home of the groom, near Dunn, immediately after their marriage. The mother of j the brio- called at the home soon af j ter their return and took the blush ing bride away. All pleadings of the husband for the return of his wife were ignored by the irate mother. Three days later the bride and her I sister were spirited away to Norfolk, Va. The determined husband followed his wife to the Virginia city, and sought the aid of the courts in an effort to gain possession of bis bride. Habeas corpus proceedings were in stituted in the effort. However, the bride intimated before the judge i hearing the case that she had no desire to return to her newly-wed husband. This attempt on the part of the husband was unsuccessful. List week the bride returned to her home here and negotiations were resumed by her husband. At first it ! appeared that these were fruitless, but finally proved successful. Any way ihe mride and groom ran away the second time. And to add to the worries of the parents of the bride, another daughter accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Warren with matrimonial intent. The other daughter was mar ried in Marion, S. C., according to reports, to George Jernigan, also of Dunn. While the second marriage was displeasing to the parents of the girls, they have decided not to fur ther interfere, and now they are ■ Hvo daughters through mar riage instead of one. A TAX REPEAL BOOMERANG The plan to abolish federal estate | taxes would in actual practice de i stroy the ability of states to levy in | heritance taxes because of the com petition which would develop be tween the states in the way of en couraging the repeal of state inheri tance tax laws. This would encour age the migration of capital and capitalists from states which levy inheritance taxes to those which do not levy inheritance taxes. Also the repeal of the federal estate tax would deprive the federal government of its only means of securing revenue from tax-free securities now exempt under the federal income tax law. There is no good reason why bank ers, merchants, farmers and other business men should ask Congress to ‘ay heavier tax burdens on them : selves in order to afford relief to the estates of owners of tax-exempt securities which avoid taxation dur ing the life of their owners. “Big money rushes to tax-exempts •is iron f lings to a magnet.” Large fortunes thus invested ought to pay ■state taxes until the federal con stitution is amended to permit taxa j tion of their income during the life 1 of their owners. One of the principal objections to inher.tance taxes is the fact that such taxes are frequently levied on the same property by several dis-! ferent states as well as by the federal government. This multiple taxation would not he remedied except in a small degree by the repeal of fed eral estate taxes. This duplication can be very easily remedied by amending the federal law to provide j that credit on federal estate taxes shall be given for all inheritance or estate taxes paid to states. The federal law shou’d also be amended n the interest of American business and agriculture by reducing federal estate taxes on all property on which the income is now subject to federal taxation and by leaving the federal estate tax on tax-free securities to stand higher than on those subject to federal income tax. ROMAN EMPERORS AND AMERICAN WORK MEN Architecture for comfort and con venience has progressed more rapidly in this nation than in any other. The poorest American home generally has j its hath tub, electric lights, gas or j electric water heater and telephone. | A great percentage of the homes have ! in addition, gas or electricity for j cooking; the house is wired to plug in a vacuum cleaner in every room; the dining room is provided with fix tures to operate an electric coffee pot, waffle iron, toaster cr other T fT F ?FP TT r.QV FRIDAY.

The gas furnace controlled auto matically and ! it by an electric push button, has mi de the old days of wood chopping largely a thing of the vast. For comfort, the electric fan keeps a breeze go ; ng and for beauty and ut lity the modern electric lights and fixtures transform a house of gloom into one of cheer and homi less. Elect deity plays an important part in milady’s toilet and does work \ hich many hand maidens would have been unable to accomplish in in the days of the Roman emperors. The "electric servant” does work in the American home for a few dollars a month which could not he accom plished in any other manner by num erous servants at a hundred times ihat price. The home with the interconnected ielephone to the different rooms saves countless steps for its occupants. While Egyptian tombs are being opened to dig out relics of monarchs of past ages, it is interesting to note that they contain no conveniences to compare with those which the com mon laborer in the United States can enjoy today. We have read about the Roman baths and seen pictures of big fat Romans walking down into them, but it is pretty safe to say that they were a chilly proposition alongside of the American bathroom with its instantaneous hot water heater ready for use at any hour of the day or night. Incidentally, the truck driver, or millionaire of today can have the same type of bathroom equipment at a modest cost, but only a Roman em peror could enjoy the “pleasure” of a Roman hath.

SHEARON. By T. O. MOSES, Atty. Sept. 17-4 t A TEMPTING BAIP FOR VOTES In a recent article on automobile public liability insurance, H. P. Stell wagen, manager of the Automobile Department of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, went into the details of rate making. He explained the reason for variation in rates in different localities. He showed that for every 100 cars insured, there were 19.4 public lia bility accidents in New York City; 11.2 in Buffalo; from 7 to 11 in Syracuse, Rochester, Albany and Troy; 6.5 in Chicago; 6 in Cleveland and 3.7 in Detroit. So it goes over the country. Where the most acci dents occur, naturally the rates have to be the highest. The same is true in cities which show the greatest fire loss. Insurance rates must be higher than in cities with a small loss record. There is a point of much interest in these figures in connection with the agitation for compulsory auto mobile liability insurance and the “THE FLAPPER GRANDMOTHER” A MUSICAL COMEDY To Be Presented at —— The School Auditorium FRIDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER THE 2ND Under the Auspices of the Woman's Club of Zebulon.

Naturally, this '.ould take insurance into the field >f pol .ic-s. At the present time the city man pays the highest rate for Hitemobile insurance while the rural resident pays leas because the risk is less. Wth political control of automo bile liability insuri nee, there would be great temptation to offer r ite con cessions to the thickly populated city vote centers where the liability in surance cost is highest. There would be one inventable result— stote insurance funds would become weakened, or would have to he strengthened by charging higher rates in the sections where risk is less. Past experience in state experi ments in business does not lead one to be'ieve that as big a proposition as automobile liability insurance would be kept free from politics and on a strictly business basis if turned over to political control. VIRGINIA HAD MASONIC LODGE PRIOR TO 1751 Newport News, Va.—The claim of local Masons that a Masonic lodge was working at Williamsburg long before the date given in the proceed ngs of the Grand Lodge for 1786, namely, November 6, 1773, was given substantial proof by an interesting find of Dr. Armstead C. Gordon, Jr., assistant professor of English Liter ature at the University of Virginia. Windows, Doors, Frames & Molding Kiin Dryed Flooring and Ceiling Massey Brothers “In- the old Virginia Gazette of 1751, the re is a letter dated April 6, 1751, addressed to the editor in which the writer ‘N.

S.,’ wish ng to revive the interest form erly felt in that ord-r, appealed to the Brothers still in Williamsburg not to ‘obliterate from their minds the practice of associating in the most ancient confraternity in the world.’ “The better to hr ng this condition to pass the writer closes with a four anza poem and the hope that ‘the following ode will not he disagree -1 able to your readers.’ ” The above reference may be found in Dr. Gord on’s “Virginia Writers of Fugative Verse.” There is yet no indication of the name or number of this more ancient lodge, nor has it been ascertained by whom that lodge was chartered.
