A lady living near the scene of death was standing on the )>orcl) at her home and saw the bolt of lightning strike the men and saw them fall. For several minutes fire was seen to burn the clothes and body of the men. Some of the people of the immediate vi cinity of the death spot notified Coroner T. F. Morgan and he rushed to the scene nnd brought the bodies to his undertaking parlor in Albemarle. One of the men was identified by pa pers in his pocket, his name being Thom as Carl Burns, of Battery C. Fifth Field Artillery, of Camp Bragg. Mr. Morgan got in touch with General Bowley at Camp Bragg during the night, and the general ordered that the body of Burns be prepared for burial. Burns carried a numbers of papers and letters, and a picture of himself. Among the papers found on Burns was two honorable dis charges from the United States army and a re-enlistment dated April 15, 1925, at Fort Bragg. A letter from his sister, Mrs. R. L.

Fred Essary' Speaks to Members of the Southern Newspaper Publishers’ Asso ciation. (By the Associated Press’ Ah’aeville, July B.—“ Newspaper men who expect to be respected must first be self-respecting,” declared J. Fred Es sary. of The Baltimore Sun bureau at Washington, in speaking before the Southern Newspaper Publishers’ Asso ciation, in session here. “It is not enough that we should show a regard for the decencies of life. We must acquire a sense of dignity as jour nalists, a dignity which you and I know is often lacking on the columns of our papers.” he added. No story is so un interesting as the story of how a reporter failed to get the story. Mr. Essary then told of the hardships and trial of a Washington correspondent, telling of the many foolish queries that are received by them. He cited as an example one received by a correspondent which read: “We have information that there is something in the air. Get it and send us 1,000 words.” Straight news is not the only product that- proceeds from Washington, he'de clared, for despite the fact that the -cap ital is the greatest news center in Hie world, many false and unfounded stories regarding the presidents and other high officials are originated there. He told several «torieß that he had heard of va rious presidents, which were utterly re diculous and untrue. One of them told of the late Woodrow Wilson lavishing gifts and entertainments on a chorus girl, when the actual facts were that the president attended the show, which was a stock company, and at the end of the season sent some flowers to the aortess telling her how he enjoyed her, acting. Washington aside from being the gov ernment center, is now the nerve center of American business and the endless stream of "copy” that comes from there furnishes proof of its news distributing and originating value. The Southern newspapers have come to appreciate this fact, he stated, as evidenced in the num ber of correspondents now being kept in Washington by them. Ffteen years ago there were not half a dozen Southern newspapers who had their own corre spondents in Washington. Now every large newspaper in tire South maintains a bureau there.

C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1925 SILL INCOME IN GET ATTENTION IN QUESTION OF TAXES President Keeps This Class of Taxpayers In Mind as Ex perts Plan to Make Cut In Income Taxes. SURTAXES MUST t BE CUT DEEPLY Chief Executive Is of Opin ion This Would Help All Classes Because It Would Be Help to Business. (By the Amoelstrt Press) Swampseott, Mass.. July B.—As he watches for long range preparations of government officials for another slash in taxes President Coolidge is keeping in mind tbe man with a family and a small income as well as business generally. To him the prosperity of both are inter twined. The President believes that a drastic cut in surtaxes not only would result in increased government revenue through a consequent stimulation of bus iness but would benefit the small tax payer by insuring him steady employ ment. Mr. Coolidge holds to the view that holders of large incomes are concerned more with avoiding high taxes by pro tection through investments in tax-ex empt securities than in attempting to in crease their fortunes through regular business enterprises.

Haynes has been offended by General Lincoln C. An drews and is threatening to resign. Af ter various conferences with E. C. Yel lowley.

Haynes <m tbe jMliey of the prohibi tion miff for enwWrMent. Quarrels have resulted, but they were always patched up before they became public property. An efficiency committee, pro vided by tbe Treasury Department, made an adverse report on Mr. Haynes and he would have been let out then had it not been for the aprpehension that such ac tion would cause a row between the Ad ministration and the Anti-Saloon League. Gradually the Haynes crew in the pro hibition unit has been reduced and his duties lessened. A1 lot his he stood for he liked his $7500 job. But tbe last straw came when Miss Georgia Hopley, of Buoyrus, 0.. friend of Mr. Haynes and the late President Harding, was fired July Ist. The combined efforts of Sena tor Willis, Hoke DoUithen, pre-conven tion manager for President Coolidge in Chicago: C. ■C.

Miss Hopley has been a red rag to Secretary Mellon and Commisioner of Internal Revenue Blair tor severul years. Personally' she was all right, but her job —one created for her by Mr. Haynes— was not. She went about the country on a salary of $2500 a year ami expenses, beating up prohibition sentiment. Messrs.
