Vi A.SHlNGTON BLUE DIES SITDDENLV IN JACKSON SPRINGS Funeral services were held at Jack son Springs Presbyterian Church for M. Washington Blue, who was found dead in bed at his home in Jackson Springs. The services were conducted by his :>astor, the Rev. R. G. Matheson, and interment was in the family plot at a young man from the upper Alle gheny country who came to the oil field and with some other aggres sive young fellows like John D. Rockefeller, established the big oil companies that brought this vast as- (Tschai-1 knowledge of the world I and introduced the methods and the economies and the chemistry and the mechanics of making the petroleum products that have lifted the whole world to a new plane. John L. Mc Kinney and John D. Rockefeller are today two old men. but perhaps no other two men have been more in- I'luential in brightening life on this globe. John L. McKinney, as life vvorked its way toward the autumn, made a home in Southern Pines, a castle on the Weymouth hilltop where -he household spends the winters, and there the old timers delight to ;ather and recall the romance of the jil well development. A number of til country people have gathered in he Sandhills, Ramage, Howlands, 3arnsdall, Olmstead, younger men, :ome of them down to the second and hird generations. Among these was jlonn Ford McKinnoy son of John L. McKinney, although the younger nan had made a home on the Hudson in New York ana turned his atten tion to other things than oil. Student of Nature Glenn Ford McKinney was attract ed to the Sandhills by the outlying charm of the hills, the woods, the climate, and he established a country home out from Hoffman where he developed a country place that in cluded a farm, a picturesque lake, a fascinating rural winter home, and undertook a scheme of improvement that made the McKinney estate one of the outstanding places of the Sand- Community Gardens They Produced Food Valued at More Than $12,000,000 During; Year 1933 North Carolina’s community i,ardens in 1933 produced foods the total value of which exceeded the entire amount of money expended for relief in the state during a similar period, reaching a total value of $12,250,000, the office of Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, State relief administrator, announces. The cost of the community gar dens producing this value in food crops was $487,653.75, these ex penditures having been divided as follows: individual relief gardens, $163,891.96; individual relief farms, $19,012.18; community farm gar dens, $144,418.26; relief school gardens, $2,761.96; canning costs, $157,570.13. The food stuffs included fresh foods distributed to relief fami lies during the growing season, and canned goods valued at millions of dollars, which are now being dis tributed. Mrs. O’Berry said. Be cause of the great success of these gardens, which have meant much to relief efforts in the state, the 1934 program will probably be carried out on an even more ex tensive scale, Mrs. O’Berry said. H. William Kelly, colored of South ern Pines, was bound to Superior court under bond of $200 after he had entered a plea of guilty of forgery. Kelly is said to have raised the amount specified on a relief order. For drawing a gun on a colored man and attempting to shoot him, Charlie Lee, colored of Southern Pines, was given a six months’ road sentence. H. L. Simons and Roscoe Harring ton, colored of West End, were found guilty on charges of affray and as sault with a deadly weapon. Simons was given four months and Har rington six. Judgment was suspended in the case of B. Presley, white of Carthage, who was in court on a slot machine charge, upon condition that he pay the costs and get rid of the slot ma chines.
