Hail Storm Kills Stock Lumberton. —Hail, the intensity of which has never before been seen in this section, fell in the eastern edge of Robeson and in Columbus county, the Globe Swamp and Boardman sec : tions, late yesterday, Inocording to reports brought to Lumberton today. In some places, heavy wind accom panied the hail. A heavy rain fell. Hailsto es that would weigh half a pound „aeh killed chickens, hogs, and birds, tore holes in the tops of houses and automobiles, smashed windows, cleaned trees of their fruit and riddled crops in this area. Some •of the tobacco is said to be a total j loss. Fourteen chickens were killed at 1 th* horn* of A. T. Phillips, in the Globe Swamp community, and his tobacco is almost a loss. Two hogs of W. E. Graham were killed and 18 windows broken out. At Barnes ville the R. R. Barnes store was par tially unroofed by wind, though the hail was not so severe there. Num bers of outhouses lost their roofs, and the ground was laden with tree limbs, it was stated. —Greensboro Daily News. NO COLOR LINE I The Methodist Episcopal church, 1 North, in their general conference at ' Atlantic City last week, voted never ' to meet in a city where the color line 1 was drawn against delegates in ho tels, restaurants and public places, l and went on record as favoring strict I j racial equality. I I Since this was the question that di vided Northern and Southern Metho ' dists 88 years ago, it is feared by many that the resolution adopted for -1 ever bars the way to a reunion of these great bodies. Others feel that it may result in the organization of a conference for negroes. 1 Means Again Gaston Means, formerly of Concord, J is again conspicuous. This time it is in connection with the Lindbergh kid naping case. He is said to have claimed to Mrs. E. B. McLean, wealthy Washington woman, that for SIOO,OOO he could restore ..he baby to its par ents. Mr. McLean says she has paid him this amount in addition to thous ands for expenses. When the child was not brought as promised, she had Means arrested and he is now in jail, bail not having been provided. He asserts that he turned the money over j to a person he thought to be the proper one to receive it. Efforts to locate it have been fruitless. And the kidnap ing is as much a mystery as ever.

French President Assassinated The assassination last week of Paul Doumer, president of France, was perhaps, the greatest tragedy of the week. Doumer was shot by Paul Gorgulov, a Russian, who is believed to be linked with bolshevist forces. He declared that he hoped to embroil France and Russia in war. He is held by ailenists to be sane. Doumer was a man who had risen Irom the laboring class to the position which he held. More than 80 years old, and still vigorous he was loved by the people whom he served. Russia has officially expressed deep regret for the murder. ________________ ______ ITALY BESTOWS GIFT liOMES ON WORKERS —o — Rome.—Each year hereafter six of j Rome' most meritorious poor fami lies will receive free homes from the i government. he practice was started this year by initiative of Premier Musolini Brand new houses, modest but em bodying all modern facilities, were presented to half a dozen families on Rome's 2,685th birthday anniversary. Any father who has lived in Rome ior 10 years and has three children | born in four years is eligible to enter j the contests, providing he earns the family living by modest and honor able labor. Os tfie six families awarded the prizes this year one was of 11 chil dren, one of nine, three of seven and one of six. One of the fathers was a street car conductor, another a common laborer, yet another a teach er of drawing. The greater the number of chil dren the more chance the family has of winning the prize. A medi cal examination of all members of the family is part of the proceed ings in sifting the applicants. Rome’s birthdy falls on April 21 and on that day every year the houses will be turned over to the winning applicants. The government has suggested that persons or concerns in a position to do so, foil -.v its example, in order tc benefit, a larger number of the deserving needy.
