Duck shooters of the state have charg ed that Currituck county is dominated by the will of wealthy hunters of tlie north who maintain hunting lodges on the expansive sweeps of Currituck coun ty marshes. On the other hand, citizens of the county have stated openly that tlicit county is poor and would not be able to maintain its share of the tax burden except for the fees received from visit ing sportsmen. One count of the complaint charges that the Currituck game revenue laws were passed iif the legislature within twenty-four hours and are not valid be cause of non-compliance with procedure for passing county bills. Another county sets out that the law* of the county in this connection are unconstitutional by reason of their'being discriminatory in that they charge a nom inal fee for Currituck citizens, a season fee of $5 for other residents of North Carolina and a fee of-'577.50 for'non resident hunters. • J ■| ■ > $250,000 For Sargent Pictures.

GIRL LEAPS FROM CAR ON HARD GRAVEL ROAD Moore County Officers Were Taking Her Rack to Charlotte Institution. Carthage. July 2C>—Rather than re turn to the Mecklenburg Industrial school Tilde Moore, young white girl, leaned to safety from the ranidlv moving automobile of Sheriff R. G. Frv early Thursday morning about two rni’es he vnnd Albemarle. Before Deputy Sheriff Kelly could bring the ear to a stop, she disappeared in the thick woods. How she escaped instant death is n mystery to the officers. The ear was making about 36 miles an hour and she fell upon a hard gravel road. Depute Kelly believes she was fatally injured It nd is Hot# •Wirfipni 'the wobds' nenTthe snot where she made her preilons lump, in a critical condition or has sought re lief from earthly worries by jumping in the Kearby lake. The Moore county officers made a futile search for the girl early Thursday morning, and returned again to the spot at daybreak Friday morning, am! made another vain effort to find some trace of her. In this search they were ioined by Albemarle officers who are still on the lookout for the girl. The Moore girl, with iv companion, were picked up here Wednesday for the Charlotte authorities. When told she was going to be taken back to the Meck lenburg school Tillie protested vehement ly. stating that she had rather die than return. She even beggged Deputy Kelly, who drove the car to Charlotte, to wreck the ear. That the leap was premeditated was borne out by the statement or the girl’s companion who said Tillie lmd told her she was going to jump from the ear at the first favorable opportunity. On reaching Charlotte, the Moore county officers were informed that Tillie voluntarily entered the industrial school. This information together with the statements of the girl, lead the officers to believe that she was n child of mis fortune. She told them she lived in Greenville, S. C., where her father was in the mercantile business up until his death nbout n year ngo. When his es tate was wound up, it was found he was insolvent. Faring bitter want. the mother soon followed the husband: and Tillie without relatives, says she mar ried a man who turned out to be a rascal of the worst sort. From there she went to Charlotte.
