GENERAL NEWS
ACCUSED WOMAN CHANGES
PLEA
On trial for the third time for
the slaying of her husband, Mrs.
Sina Pope Godwin in Harnett
County has changed her plea to
self-defense. She admits killing her
former husband, but claims it was
necessary to save her own life.
VIRGINIA DARE’S GRAVE
Excitement is being caused in
some sections because of the al
leged discovery of the grave of
Virginia Dare on the mainland of
North Carolina. It is said that a
marker identifies the grave as that
of the child, who died at the age
of four. However, much doubt is
being met from historians and
others who think such an historic
item would not so long have been
overlooked.
SIT-DOWN STRIKE
UNAUTHORIZED
Homer Martin, president of the
United Automobile Workers of
America, declared that a sit-down
strike in General Motors Fisher
Body Plant in Pontiac, Mich., was
not authorized and led the strikers
out of the plant. They had taken
; possession of it and had held it for
! three days before their union pres
ident appeared on the scene. Mar
tin called it an outlaw strike and
declared that such will not be tol
erated. It caused the shutting down
of two plants and idleness for more
than a week on the part of nearly
! 15,000 men.

CHURCH NOTES
Methodist Pastor Returns
His many friends here and at
Wendell are much pleased that
Rev. J. W. Bradley has been as
signed to the Wendell-Zebulon
charge for another year. The field
has made progress under the lead
ership of Mr. Bradley and he car
ried to Conference from the local
church a splendid report, showing
all yearly assessments paid in full.
With the added advantage gained
through learning his membership
last year, it may be said of this
pastor that what he has done here
is “but earnest of the things that
he shall do.”
Thanksgiving Service
A short Thanksgiving service
was held on Thursday morning at
the Baptist church, featuring short
talks by a number of members and
a special offering for the Baptist
Orphanage at Thomasville and the
Kennedy Home.
Pulpit Committee Reports
At the close of the worship ser
vice at the Baptist church last Sun
day the pulpit committee appointee
some months ago made their re
port. They recommended that Pas
tor Herring be asked to continue
serving the church until August.
1938, by which time a leader is to
be secured. This recommendation
was adopted without a dissenting
vote. A recommendation that the
church go to fulltime services was
lost without a motion.
Fidelis Matrons Hostesses At Tea
The Fidelis Matrons Class of the
Baptist S. S. were hostesses at a
silver tea on Thursday evening of
last week in the home of Mrs.
Riggsby Massey, member of the
class. The beauty of the Massey
home was enhanced by fall flowers
and open fires. Guests found in
the receiving line the class officers,
teacher, and pastor’s wife. Music,
! both vocal and instrumental added
to the entertainment provided. Re
freshments were served in the
dining room. Contributions gener
ously donated by callers were re
ceived by small Carolyn Massey
and George Riggsby Massey, Jr.,
and will be used to help provide
classrooms at the church.
The Philathen class of Wake
field Baptist Church held the regu
lar monthly meeting at the home
of Mrs. Early Green Nov. 17, with
sixteen present. Officers for the
coming year were elected. The pro
gram was directed by Mrs. Henry
Hood. Mrs. Oris Horton was the
speaker, discussing thankfulness,
which all enjoyed. Prayer by Mrs.
Perry. Closing song, “America the
Beautiful.”
The class surprised Mrs. Green
with a handkerchief shower, after
which fruit salad and Russian tea
were served by the hostesses, Mes
dames Green, Harris and Hood-
Cold Wave Hits Wake
The coldest weather of the sea
son, and unusually cold for this
section, hit on Saturday with be
low freezing temperature. Church
services on Sunday were held in
uncomfortable houses unless jani
tors had been about their duties
at an early hour. The cold con
tinued all day and night all through
Monday, but Tuesday was some
what warmer.
NUMBER 21
Bold Robbera J
Near Z^bulfjß
On Monday morning of thH
week R. A. Allen, aged man ofl
near Zebulon, but across the Johnß
ston County line, was cutting!
wood with a Negro about 36 years !
old as helper. Allen is not large
nor very strong, while his assist
ant is more than six feet tall and
heavily built. The Negro, whose
name is not known here, suddenly
attacked his employer and robbed
him of $27.00 with which he left
the woods. Allen’s hands were bad
ly bitten during the struggle while
he was held by the negro. Harry
ing to Zebulon, the white mart re
ported the occurrence to Chief-of
police Cone, who at once got into
action, some delay being caused by
the fact that the robbery did not
take place in Wake County and
Deputy W. F. Barbee of Smithfilid
; bad to be called. IB
Allen was robbed shortly besom
' noon and by four o’clock the romi
ber had been apprehended an®
lodged in Smithfield jail. Os thd|
money taken he had $13.99; and:
he also had a new pair of shoos,
presumably bought with part of
the rest.
Thieves Enter
Baer’s Store
On the evening of Nov. 23 some
j one entered the store of Baer and
! Sons, between the hours of nine
and eleven o’clock and carried
I away about SI6OO worth of mer
chandise. They entered through a
window in the rear, after loosen
ing and bending the iron grating
away from the window. The sash
was not fastened and, after bend
ing the rods, the robbers lifted the
sash and entered. Policeman Alva
Bunn in his rounds at 9:00 o’clock
found everything all right. At 11:00
o’clock he found the store had been
entered.
Bloodhounds were brought from
Durham and trailed the men two
miles down the railroad towards
Middlesex and lost the trail. Tracks
of at least two men were found.
They must have been amateurs,
since the cash register was left un
touched and only the most access
ible goods were taken. About fifty
suits of clothes, a number of over
coats, ladies coats and silk under
wear were taken. No clue except
tracks could be found.
Householders are having their
first work of the winter with froz
en pipes—or with guarding against
that calamity—and sellers of anti
freeze preparations did a rushing
business Saturday night.
