Mr. Johnson Robbed of $336
Mr. P. W. Barber, of Cleveland
township, was in the city this
week and told us of a robbery
which took place Monday night
when Mr. Atlas Johnson was re
lieved of $336.00 in cash. Mr.
Johnson, who is about sixty years
of age, lives alone. Early Monday
night two colored men threw a
blanket over his head took his
money away from him and beat
him up slightly. At this writing
the robbers have not been appre
hended.
Thawing Water Pipes
The middle of a frozen pipe
should never be thawed first, says
the United States Department of
Agriculture, because expansion of
the water confined by ice on both
sides may burst pipe. When thaw
ing a water pipe, work toward
the supply, opening a faucet to
show when the flow starts. When
thawing a waste or sewer pipe,
work upward fro mthe lower end
to permit the water to drain away.
Applying boiling water or hot
cloths to a frozen pipe is simple
and effective. Where there is no
danger of fire,'a torch or burning
newspaper run back and forth
along the frozen pipes gives quick
results. Underground or otherwise
inaccessible pipes may be thawed
by opening the frozen pipe on the
house end, inserting a small pipe
or tube, and with the aid of a
funnel at the other end of this
small pipe, pouring boiling water
into it. pushing it forward as the
ice melts. More thaw pipe should
be added at the outer end until
a passage is made through the ice,
when the thaw pipe should be
quickly withdrawn.
Begins Term On
County Roads
C. V. Young, Convicted of
Wife Beating Commit
ted to Prison Camp.
C. V. Young, better known about '
the county as Governor Young, was !
brought to Smithfield on January
6th by Deputy Sheriff O- K. Bare
foot, of Meadow township. He was ,
brought here under a capias issu- j
ing from t ehsuperior court by j
virtue of a judgment of Judge I
Barnhill’s made while he was hold- |
ing court here about a year ago.
The Governor is well knewn here
in court circles, having served a
term or so on the county roads j
and having been a frequent de-1
fendant in the courts on charges
of wife beating and abandonment.!
When he was in court before I
Judge Barnhill he was given a con
ditional sentence, the condition be.
ing that if he would clear out the
county and not be seen within its j
borders again for a period of two :
years, that his freedom was his;
but if known to return to the
county within the time specified j
he would be arrested and placed !
in the custody of the sheriff for j
18 months service on the county j
roads. He did not believe the judge j
was in earnest; so he soon came ;
back and made a crop in Benton- !
ville (township during 1925. He
frequently visited the heme of his
wife in Meadow township and his j
visits v. ere mostly for the purpose j
of harassing her and the children.;
These facts were made known to
thP Clerk of the Court on the re-!
turn day of the capias, and he was |
duly committed to the prison camp j
to begin hfs 18 months hitch.
Young is a man a little passed ,
middle life. Drink and an ungov-j
ernable temper have eventually j
been his ruin.

VAUDEVILLE STAGED IN
SERVICE FOR EXPERIMENT
Erie, Pa., Jan. 4.—AP.—Vaud
eville acts will have a place here
after on the program of Sunday
services in the First Baptist church
of Erie.
Rev. Oliver Horsman, pastor,
has notified his congregation that
vaudeville actors and actresses,
from an Erie theater, will appear
in future during Sunday evening
services in the First church.
Last night two acts were inter
mingled with the church services
—the first a violinist, and the sec
ond vocalists and instrumentalists.
Explaining his move, the pastor
said: “In the past the church has
held an attitude of aloofness and
condemnation with regard to the
stage. I will not say at this time
whether that was right or wrong,
but I thought a little experiment
of co-operation between church
and theater might not prove amiss.
I hope the congregation of this
church will receive the actors and
the actresses as human beings like
the rest of us.”

THE DEATH RATE AND

The national death rate in the

[basis of figures for 1924 as com

' and 11-6 in 1921.
The figures covered the entire

| The number of deaths registered in
jthis territory during 1924 was 1,

In another statistical study made
public also the department noted a
further increase in the number of
deaths due to automobile accidents
in the principal cities of the Unit

weeks ending December 5 was 624,
compared with 612 the preceding
four weeks, 524 in the period end
ing October 10 and 521 in the one
ending September 12, while in the
period ending May 23, the total
was only 421.
So far this year, the daily av
erage of automobile fatalities was
14.7 while last year for the same
period it was 14.5, but for the
four weeks ending December 5,
this year it jumjed to 16 8.
Heart disease was found to have
been the chief cause of death in
the general registration area in
1924, accounting for 176,671 fatal
