Pat Kirkman
Killed In Auto
Wreck Friday
Local Broom Maker Killed
In Collision Of Cars Last
Friday Night
LEFT ARM COMPLETELY *
SEVERED FROM BODY
Pat Kirkman. local broom-maker
employed by the Roxboro Broom
Works, was killed last Friday night
when the car that he was driving |
turned over on the Roxboro-Oxford
highway. Kirkman, with some other
people riding in the car with him,
^Mvas going toward Oxford driving at|
Hit rapid rate of speed, .when he;
^rounded a curve striking another
car which was just beyond the
curve. Apparently he hit the front
wheel of the other car which was
occupied by Allen Hart of Burling
' ten, Rt. 3. When Kirkman's car
struck the ear driven by Hart, it
sides wiped it, flattening the fen-,
ders against th^ body of the car
and doing considerable damage to
the body itself; the Kirkman car
then careened down the road turn
ing as it went and Anally stopping
about 25 yards' away cross ways to the
road. Mr. Kirkman's left arm was
severed from his body when the
cars collided; it was later found ly
ing in the car that he had hit. Be
sides this he had cuts and bruises
about the head and face, but it is
thought that the severing of the!
arm caused his death. The other
occupants of his car and of Hart's
car were not hurt seriously.
Mr. Kirkman is survived by his
wife, five children, several brothers
and sisters and his father and
mother.
The funeral services for Mr.

MODEL VILLAGE
IN WORLD'S FAIR
I noticed at the World Pair in
Chicago the insurance companies
' had a model village. It showed peo
ple in all walks of life in the city
at work. There was a continuous
^line of people going up to pay their
Bpremiumg. This was proof to me
^that the hundred billion insurance
carried was the largest institution
in the world.
The people who carry enough in
surance are the ones to be in the
best condition during life and to
leave their families in best shape.

U. S. PLANS BENEFITS
Fi TOBACCO GROWER
Farmers Who Sold Early At
Low Prices May Get The
Amount They Lost
WORKING ON PLAN NOW
Washington, Oct. 24. ? The farm
administration having settled one
perplexing tobacco problem, is now
wrestling with two others.
One is to work out a plan where
by farmers in the Carolinas and
Georgia who sold their crop prior
to the effective date of the flue
cured tobacco marketing agree
ment, may be paid benefits to com
pensate them for higher prices be
ing paid under the agreement.
The other is to co-ordinate the
several codes of fair trade practices
submitted by warehousemen in the
the various tobacco belts into one
master agreement covering the en
tire industry.
A group of men from flue-cured
tobacco growing states is working
with department experts on the
benefit plan. No details of their
work have been announced. The
department, however, plans to use
the 4.2 cents a pound processing
tax on tobacco to make any pay
ments that may be decided upon.
J. C. Lanier, tobacco specialist
and one of the administration ex
perts attempting to formulate the
master code, said warehousemen
from over the country have been
summoned to an informal confer
ence here Saturday. Their views will
be considered before the general
code is promulgated.
INVEST IN LIFE
INSURANCE
? i
Now that times are picking up
and you can again start thinking in
terms that involve more than just
a mere livelihood, we suggest that
you consider some safe investment
for your surplus money. Insurance
companies have held their own in
this depression, and it is our firm'
belief that the insurance companies'
offer the best field for investment,
not only to provide for the future
welfare of your loved ones, but also
to give you a safe place in which to !
keep your savings. Consult us.

DAIRYING REPORT
SHOWS ADVANCE
We are rounding out our third
year of improved dairying and we
have gone ahead in great strides in
jSDite of the depression. We hope
the public is conscious of the im
provement and acknowledge it by
'telling their dairymen so. If you
j And anything wrong don't fail to
tell the milk dealer so, because their
aim is to please.
They have gone to a great deal
;of expense and trouble to satisfy
you with a wholesome milk. We are
not stopping with just "good
enough," but aiming for the best
equipment.
The milk dealers and I feel it
our duty to carry out the Ordinance
as best we can. Our Orade A dairies
have installed good equipment for
handling their product.- I do not'
wish to be misleading in the above
statement. Equipment alone will
net safeguard health, but when ex
pertly used the chances of pollution
$re at a minimum; example, the
grade A dairies have a capper that
makes it unnecessary to touch the
cap or mouth of bottle with the
: hands, steam cabinets for sterilizing
bottles, and revolving brushes to
clean them.
The dairies are as follows:
Mr. C. E. Brooks. Rosebrook ....A
Mr. V. O. Blaylock, Richland .A
Mrs. E. B. Foushee, Elko A
Dr. Thaxton '. . ...B
Mrs. Jule Daniel D
Mrs. O. J. Moore .' Di

Mr. Lester Brooks D
Mr. D. S. Brooks D
Mr. Arch Moore D
Mr. Coy Holeman ...D
Mrs. A. R. Warren D
All of the above are licensed deal- 1
ers.
Remember milk permits are due
Nov. 1st. One dollar each for ftrat
two cows and 50c each for others.

NO SUCCESSOR TO
DALADIER SO FAR
France Without A Govern
ment In Face Of Worst
Crisis Since War Days
OLD CABINET ASKED TO
CONTINUE FUNCTIONS
Paris, Oct. 24.? Prance, faced with
one of the most critical situations
at home and In foreign relations
since the World War, was without
a government tonight as President
Albert LeBrun sought in vain to
And a sucecssor to Edouard Dala
dier as Premier.
The President, after a day of con
ferences with leaders erf various po
litical parties, announced he had
been unable to reach a decision, but
was optimistic that a new premier
could be named by tomorrow even
ing. In the meantime, he asked the
Daladier cabinet to continue its
functions, to which the former min
| isters agreed.
He was faced with a delicate po
lical problem growing out of the
: collapse of the co-operation between
Daladier 's Radical-Socialist party
and the Sociaiosts, which had per
mitted the former to remain in
power since the fall of the govern
ment of Andre- Tarieu in 1932.
Doubt Dissolution.
Rumors that general elections
would be called persisted, but in
view of the disarmament crisis at
Geneva and Berlin's threats to re
arm. it was doubted the President
would disssolve Parliament.
It was learned that President Le
Brun favored a new ministry still J
controlled by the Radical -Socialists, !
with possibly Albert Sarrant, min- j
! ister of marine In the Daladier
cabinet, as Premier, and Daladier
as foreign minister. Another com
bination under consideration was
Camille Chautemps, resigned inter
! ior minister, as Premier, with Jos
; eph Paul-Bonconr continuing as
i foreign minister in the new ad
ministration.
High officials and others close to
j the President Insisted that regard
j less of whether Paul-Boncour re
mained, the foreign policies of
Prance, particularly at Geneva t
would not be changed. Prance will
fight for continuation of the arms
ronferenee.
