It is fair good for cooking, though it lacks the flavor of many other kinds. In this section the color is not good, but I suppose the climate may be blamed for that. However, the tree is a heavy bearer and, if you don’t mind fruit that is somewhat im sipid, buy a Delicious. I like my apples to have opinions of their own. 4> THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN ZEBULON. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST TWENTY-SEVENTH, 1937.

Hugo Black as a member of the Supreme Court. Mrs. Graves will serve until April of next year when a special election will be held. She will be on the pay roll six months and will be in the session of the up per house of Congress for some six weeks next year. She has never held office before, but has been a member of the D. A. R. and the U. D. C. It has been persistently rumored that Governor Graves hopes to succeed his wife in the ofifce to which he has appointed her and for which he will not be eligible un til his present term of office ex pires. PATROLMAN KILLED George Penn, state highway pa trolman, twenty-five years old, was killed near Asheville Sunday night. He was shot three times and beaten by unknown assailants. He was on duty at a weighing station and gave chase to a speeding car. Not content with shooting and beating, the assasins drove their car over the dying man. Every ef fort is being made to apprehend them. THREAT OF NEW PARTY The diferences between leaders of the Democratic party and the sharp dissensions during the last session of congress indicated that unless the splits could be healed, a new party might come into exist ence. Added to this is the fact that John L. Lewis, leader of the C. I. 0., is dissatisfied with the aid he has received from the gov ernment and threatens to swing his forces into the movement for a third party. Many conservative Democrats felt that President Roosevelt and Secretary Wallace encouraged sitdown strikes and other tactics employed by organiz ed labor, but Lewis thinks too little was done for the cause. Leaders are deeply concerned over the situ ation, which may prove highly en couraging to Republicans. i BASEBALL | 'akelon vs. £ Angier J & Sat. 4:00 £ Angier f iday 2:30 | nday 4:00 £ Wakeion I Lightning Strikes Tobacco Barn During Tuesday’s storm lightn ing struck a barn on Alton Finch’s farm near Union Chapel, burning it and its contents. Tobacco was being put into the barn, the storm causing the workers to leave. They had been gone only about five min utes when the bolt came. All to bacco burned was green and un cured.

Playground News The playground will be closed until further notice due to the ill ness of Mrs. Hunter Bell the direc tor, who is now in Rex Hospital having undergone an appendecto my. Kindergarten classes and regu lar playground activities will be resumed at a later date. International Crisis The war between the Chinese and the Japanese has already rais ed international complications be yond its own importance. Damage done to the interests of other na tions, not to mention the hitting of an American by a shell and the kill ing of a seaman, are evidence of the fact that relations between na tions may become strained and ev en dangerous. Americans in China are urged to leave as rapidly as possible and many have already been taken to Manila, where an earthquake conincident with their arrival added to their distress. About a million refugees are said to have left their homes, though this includes many Chinese who have sought safety away from the war zone, which surrounds Shang hai. China is said to be making the most united defense of years in her effort to repel the enemy. Ja pan has rushed thousands of troops to reinforce those in action. In a . bombing attack on Monday 400 non-fighters were killed in Shang hai, and among the many wounded were three Americans. Japan plans to take over the pri vate wealth of her citizens and the country is being placed under strict regime, that funds and food may be available in the event that the war drags slowly on. Chinese in America have con tributed nearly a million and a half dollars to aid their country.
