Since the great war the associations of the State have made loans to members for the pur chase or building of 40,000 homes which i!t is estimated house 200,000 persons. “The home is still the unit of socie ty,” Mr. Hinea said, and “our meet ing has for one of its objects urging home building and home ownership.” Following the reports of Mr. Stev ens and Mr. Todd the convention was to hear an address by George R. Wooten, of Hickory, on “The United States League and Its Relations to the Local Association.” Following this R. B.

LAUGHINGHOUSE CHOSEN To Succeed Dr. Rankin as Secretary of State Board of Health. i Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. I Raleigh, June 22.—The expected , bapiMMied when the State Board of • Hill I (h. by cut and dried arrange ■ inent, accepted the resignation of I)r. Charles O. H. Lnughinghouse of Greenville ns a member of the Board, i and then elected him ns its perman ent secretary, after having' elected Dr. \\ . S. Rankin, for 1(1 years secre tary of the board, to vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. Inuigbing house. Thus was I)r. O. M. Cooper, assistant secretary of tile Board, whom has been connected with the Board of Health for 12 years, and who since 11)23 has brsoi acting Secretary during the lenvc of ab sence granted, Dr. Rankin, was com pletely disregarded, although it has been openly suggested in the press and elsewhere that he was the logieal man to carry on the work of Dr. Rankin. It is pointed out by those familiar with the workings of the board of Health that Dr. Cooper hits been the chief assistant to I)r. Rankin and that be has played fully ns large n part, in the upbuilding of the work of that department as any one con nected with it. But aside from the adoption of a brief resolution com ntbnding Dr. Cooper for the work lie has done for the past three years as acting Health Officer, the Board gave him no further recognition, except to commission him to continue to do this work until October 1, when Dr. Laughinghouse will take charge. Dr. 1 Cooper declined to comment on whether or not he would continue as assistant secretary after October 1, The action of the Board was ;n accordance with the expectations of those familiar with the situation. It will be remembered that a year ago Dr. Laughinghouse was offered the post of secretary and that he asked : for an indefinite iieriod of time to consider the proposal. Last week at , the meeting oh State health officers i at Wrightsville Beach the officer was i renewed,and he again asked for more time. His election to the post and its , acceptance, however, came ns the . culmination of an understanding of at least three years duration, it is (said by several who have been in ! close tonch with the workings of the Board of Health, who point to \ this action on the part of the board as an example of the futility of any 1 one not on the “Inside” expecting ( any other action. It is significant to note that every 1 action taken by the board was by 1 unanimous consent and Dr. J. 1 Howell Way of Waynesville, presi- 1 dent of the board, made an an nouncement to this effect at the con clusion of the session. “We wish to call the attention of the public at large to the fact that we consider ourselves extremely for- ■ tunate in being able to preserve the ’ connection of Dr Kankin with the 1 Board by making him a member of i it ” Dr. Way said, as now- we will * be able to continue to profit by his long and able association with the 1 board and its work.” I i Rains Good for Forage Crops. Raleigh. N. C., June 22.—G4 3 )— I “The rains of the past week end 1 have made : t possible for North Oar- I olina farmers to prepare for forage crops." Commissioner of Agriculture 1 William A. Graham pointed out to- I day, in commenting upon the great 1 value of- the rains to a’l crops, and I to farmers generally over the state. 1 “On account of the dry spell,” said I Mr. Graham, “it has looked like the forage crops would be very short. But now the farmers have time to plant soybeans and Sudan grass for hay.” The Commissioner pointed out that it was very important that the farmers should plant these forage crops, in order to insure winter forage for farm animals. And he added the suggestion: “All available land should be , p’anted in late corn for feed for well as food for man.” \* l ■ City Tax Notice!

The Haugen bill faces imminent defeat. This defeat lias been brought about by a gigantic conspiracy of special interests against the basic industry of our country. “These interests have devised a ! scheme of economy which denounces everything as economically unsound unless it promotes their special wel fare. Because of their size and pres tige they are able to control the views of the statesmen and dictate tile ac tions of the United States govern mnt. , “To any one promising to do the same thing for agriculture that has been done for railroads, for the credit system, for the protected industries, for the industries based upon patents or for public utilities, he is denounced as a radical or dangerous man imbued with socialistic tendencies. , “In lowa, so predominantly agricul tural. there is no newspaper and no. individual so powerful as to openly I oppose the enactment of legislation for the equal economy rights of agri culture. But while it is true, there exists in the state on a small scale a secret conspiracy ns sinister and i»- sidious as the non-partisan league of Wall Street Itself. This crowd hi, made up of a few newspaper men and a few representatives of the great cor porate interests that proceed by means of flank attack.” BREWSTER NOMINATED BY MAINE REPUBLICANS Won on Issue of Prohibiting the Public Funds for Private Schools.

BLAKENEY IN COURT Et IS HEARD BY SCORES j Former Cashier of Bank of | Midland is Charged With j Burning Bank Building! on April Bth. ! MANY WITNESSES | HAVE BEEN SWORN j | Only Two Had Been Ex-i amined When Court Re- j cessed for Dinner—New Facts Are Developed. Carl T. Blakeney. former cashier [ of the Bank of Midland, was given a ! preliminary hearing at the court house this moriung before ‘Squire (J. M. Lore on a charge of burning the bank building on the morning of April Bth. The hearing was 30 minutes late in starting, the defendant with his coun sel, Frank Armfield and M. B. Sher rin. reaching the court room about 10:30. ; At noon ouly two witnesses had | been heard with indications that the hearing would continue most of the afternoon. The State called more than a dozen witnesses and it is un derstood that a number of others will be called by the defense. Blakeney entered the court room with his wife, father and uncle. The latter two are his bondsmen. I)r. J. V. Sossamon was the first witness called. He, testified that he was a director of the Bank of Mid land. that notes amounting to $2,400 made payable to Blakeney lmd never been approved by the bank's loan committee and that when an audit of ! tlie bank’s books was made in March j sere was a discrepancy of about $4,- 000. on cross examination Dr. I Sossamon said the auditors who ex | amined the books in March had called this discrepancy a shortage of funds. I Dr. Sossamon also told of the phys i ical examination he gave the defend i ant on the morning of the fire, declar | ing that he could find no evidence of | Blakeney having been struck on the head. He was at Jengt'a about the examination on the cross examination bjr Mr. Aruifidd, saying he gave his patient some dope because the patient seemed to be in such great pain. The witness said Blakeney told him he had been struck on the head and that he examined his head carefully. There was no sign of a blow, he said. The patient’s pulse was rapid, Dr. Sos samon said. I On cross-examination the witness said the bank had never made any money but had had the largest num ber of depositors in its history dmvng i the time Blakeney had been its cash | ier. There was a deficit of about SIBOO before Blakeney was secured as cashier, he said. Dr. Sossamon said he heard a pis tol shot on the morning of the fire and said he thought he heard the shot about thirty minutes before he saw the fire in the bank. (J. I. Miller. Midland merchant, was next called. Miller was g, : ven a long • cross-examination which was in prog ress at noon. This witness said he went to his ■ store, about 20 feet from the bank, about 4 :30 on the morning of the fire. When he reached the store he saw a light in the bank and fearing sotne thing was wrong, peeped in the win dow. There he saw the defendant. Thinking he had been seen. Miller said, he walked to the front door of , the bank, where Blakeney saw hrm, and in answer to his question Blake- I ney told him nothing was wrong, that lie was just trying to catch up with his work. Upturning to his home for break fast, Miller said, he was the' fire just as he stepped on the porch of his home, about 30 minutes after he hail left the bank. He rushed to the building and saw three men carrying Blakeney. Later, he said. Blakeney told him two versions—one that he heard a noise and left the bank to look about and was struck down while picking up a niece of wood. The oth er that he was working in the bank when struck and that the fire must have started from a lamp he probab ’y knocked off when he fell to the , floor. i The witness said he rushed to the | rear of the bank and threw a bucket I >f water on the vault door so he could > diut it. It was then he saw a gallon oil can, he said, .in flames. The fire I at that time was burning between the | counter and vault which contained no, I furniture. He described it as a space 1 filled with “floor and fire.” | The day after the fire, the witness ) said, when he was aiding in clearing 1 the building, he saw a metal box filled [ with paper. In this box was a jug > which he said some other workers told 1 him had a little liquor in it. He said I he did not examine the jug. He said • never before the morning of the fire | had he seen Blakeney in the bank be i fore daylight. The hearing attracted a large | crowd, many of those in attendance having been depositors in the bank.
