(name) (address) (city) PB9 (zone) (state) The statewide hunt for a "‘light skinned Negro” who last Wednes day slugged two Moore County farmers and robbed one of them of $353, continued unabated this week but without success, accord ing to information from the sher iffs departmen.t In the meantime another man hunt had a more satisfactory con clusion, as two convicts who es caped from a road gang of the Carthage prison camp were ap-> prehended Saturday at Greens boro. The two white men were view ed by Coley and Walter McIn tosh, of near Vass, victims of last week’s hold-up, on the chance the “mulatto” might have been one of them. However, the broth ers said neither resembled the slugger. Supt. M. C. Jackson of the high way prison camp this week told a tale of the fast get-away made by the convicts under cover of a school bus filled with children. The protection of the bus kept the guard, L. S. Marion, from firing lest he hit some of the children. The bus carrying a load of youngsters to Vass - Lakeview school Monday morning came into Highway 1 from an intersection near Vass where the prison gang was at work. The two men broke from the gang and ran quickly alongside the bus, keeping it be tween them and the guard. Under the circumstances, Marion could not shoot. As the bus drove on, leaving the men in the clear, they darted up on the porch of a house and thqn vanished into woods beside the highway. Law enforement officers traced W. A.

Plans were made also for the campaign, which it is hoped will result in a full quota of renewals and many new memberships. This was the first board meet ing at which Arch F. Coleman, the new Chamber president, pre sided, and was held on Monday night instead of Tuesday as he had to go out of town the next day. Harry Fullenwider, immed iate past president, attended to help clear up “old business.” Merchants' Association On the “old business” agenda was the matter of whether or not the Chamber, original sponsor of agencies have been too low for the work involved; (4) an office sec retary shared by the Chamber of Commerce and Merchants ^ocia- tion cannot fairly divide her time, as getting up the credit reports and answering inquiries take up a major portion of it—^more than the returns pay for; (5) the Sand hills Merchants association is now heavily in debt with no imme diately apparent way of paying out. Also, it was pointed out, if the Merchants association is to con tinue as such it should be incor porated, for protection in the handling of confidential material.

With the Credit Rating Bureau as its chief project, the organization has initiated a valuable service to lo cal merchants which, however, is a long way from being self-sup porting. In general discussion the di rectors expressed the belief that the Credit Rating Bureau should continue, as it has a good start and its confidential files are now built up to a point of extreme Difficulties in the way appear- himself, to try to iron out the kinks and determine if there is any practical method by which the Merchants association can continue to operate, or if the Chamber should take over and if so, how.
