Members of the board I said that officials of the Nan | tahala Power and Light com pany have offered, in conver sations with them, to do this same job. After some discus sion, it was agreed that Mayor 1 Angel should contact power company officials and see if an arrangement could be worked out whereby the power com pany would do this work as soon , as a sufficent reserve of water ! is accumulated in the tanks to allow the pumps ta be taken out of operation, one by one, for short periods of time. I Mayor Angel commented that the recently installed parking meters appear to be working satisfactorily and that people are cooperating in observing the regulations. After some discussion, on a motion of Phillips, seconded by Mr. Whitmire, it was decided to limit parking in front of the courthouse to state, county and town police officials. This is to include all space between the one-way streets which circle the | courthouse. Amendments to the motion limit parking in front I of the post office to 15 minutes, and prohibit trucks and vehicles larger than one ton capacity from parking on Phillips street between Main and Palmer. After hearing a complaint by Frank I. Murray, the board in structed the town clerk to ob tain pipe necessary to fix the drain from West Main, in front of Mr. Murray's house. This drain has been stopped up for some time, according to Mr. Murray, and in bad weather overflow from this street floods his yard and basement. A similar complaint was made by Howard Gillespie, who said that was appearing on be half of Mrs. J B. Henry. Mr. Gillespie said that water drains all the way from the Penland barn into her yard, since the only opening in the curb on this section of Palmer street is just above her property. He added that the service station just above this property uses this drain to pour used motor oil through. The board agreed to purchase the necessary drain pipe to carry this water to the creek, but held that the filling station matter was out of the board's jurisdiction. E. A. Stiles and Hal Zachary drew a laugh from the board members when thay said they came to see about a barbed wire fence which runs down the mid dle of a through street. In ser ious vein, however, the board referred the matter to the town attorney and requested that he Investigate the matter. . , The board voted to close the town office on Wednesday after noons at noon, In order to per- 1 mit the town clerk to perform ; duties that take him outside the office. | Present at the meeting were Mayor Angel and Alderman Er win Patton, Burrell, Cabe, Whit- , mire, and Phillips. North Carolina's 1946 ice cream manufacturers, at 16, 346,000 gallons, were 70 per cent mpre than 1945 and almoit four timei the 1940 output. ?Continued from Page One Lynch Case Defendant Formerly Lived Here other six defendants pleaded not guilty when the case came be fore Judge Frizzelle. At the hearing, Bush identi fied Mr. Cunningham as the j man who came to his cell just before dawn on the morning of May 23 and said: K "Come on down, nigger, let's go". Bush, who was in jail on a charge of assault with intent to commit rape on a young Rich Square woman, escaped from his abductors and later surrendered to officers. The [grand jury, which last month returned no true bills against the seven white men, also fail ed to return a ture bill against the Negro. Mr. Cunningham and the Northampton jailor were re leased, following the hearing upon bonds of $5,000 each. Some 20 men volunteered to sign their bonds. (Continusd From Page One) 'No Teacher, No School', Delegation Tells Board the board members drove to the community to see the situation first hand. On their return to Franklin, they announced, however, that the original plan to close the Gold Mine school will be ad herred to. Mr. Houk explained that he was not able to get a teacher for Gold Mine, since few teach ers are willing to accept a one teacher school, and much of the discussion centered about get ting a teacher. When one pos^ sibility after another had been discussed, Mr. Houk told mem bers of the delegation that, if they could find a teacher, he would keep the school open. "That is your job", came back the curt reply. In the course of the discus sion, Mr. Houk announced that he has issued a preemptory order that no school bus Is to leave its terminus earlier than 7:30 in the morning. That rule will be adherred to, he said, even If it is necessary to open consolidated schools a little later. Members of the Gold Mine delegation, which also presented a petition bearing 28 signatures, were Mr. Harper; the Rev. J. I Vinson, who explained he was rot a resident of the section, but was pastor of a church at Gold Mine and had been reared there; V. H. Wyatt, S. E. Mc Coy, Charles McCall, Truman Keener, James McClure, Ellison Dendy, W. A. Southards, Law ton Keener, Phil Crane, W. L. Keener, 8. N. McCoy, I. A. Keen er, and Sherman McClure. Bob S. Sloart, at the request of members of the Negro school committee, brought up the ques tion of paying at least half ot the $18-a year light bill at the school. Mr. Houk declared that the state appropriation is in sufficient already, but, when Mr. Sloan Insisted that "somewhere in our budget vje can find $9", the superintendent agreed to pay the entire bill, provided it not exceed 11.60 per months ? Continued from Pmge One One Is Killed, Seven Hurt In Auto Wrecks P Hamby, a native of Rabun county, Ga Mr. Hamby, who pleaded guilty to passing a ve hicle on the highway when the view was obstructed, was given a small fine, which was sus pended. W. T. Smith was the driver of the truck. Two of Mrs. Smith's children, Forrest, 4, and Robert, 8, were treated at the Angel hospital for minor injurieS. Ten other per sons riding in the truck were uninjured. A third accident involving military personnel occurred on the Wayah road Sunday eve ning when an army truck failed to make a curve near Camp branch. One occupant, Lt.
