Warn Americans
To Leave China
Ask Mission Boards To
Recall Workers; Fur
ther Reports Tell Of In
creasing Foreign Dan
ger.
WASHINGTON, Mar. DO.—Ex
odus of Americans from the civil
war-torn interior of China is gath
ering- momentum under repeated
official warnings.
A blanket message from Minis
ter Mac Murray at Peking to those
iw the northern section of Anwei
and Kiangsu provinces, reported
to the State Department today,
added this area to the prescribed
danger zone, which already in
cluded the great valley of the
Yangtse.
Supplementary efforts by the
department itself to induce mis
sionary hoards at home to recall
their workers from the interior
also were disclosed. They were
made informally several days ago
with the further statement to the
mission heads that Consul General
Gauss at Shanghai had urged re
call to the United States of mis
sionaries now taking refuge in
Shanghai. Gauss said the interna
tional settlement was so congest
d it ions were becoming difficult.
Further reports from China
showed increasing anti-foreign
tension at Ichang, with "unfavor
able reaction," presumably to the
Nanking incident, feared. As a
contrast, however, the situation at
Amoy, which was the cause of re
cent apprehension, appeared re
lieved. Quiet prevailed there, Con
sul Putnam reported, and "the
Chinese authorities assure the con
tinuation of such a condition.'*
There was no further word from
Wuhu, w'here a crisis was indicat
ed in yesterday's advices, with an
anti-foreign outbreak momentari
ly feared. At Hankow the situa
tion was again described as tense,
with Americans pouring in from
interior points and being shipped
to Shanghai as rapidly as possi
ble.
The clash between British sail
ors and Chinese at Changsha where
the American consulate has al
ready been ordered closed, was of
ficially reported, but without de
tails. It resulted in a demand by
the local Nationalist authorities
for surrender of the Britishers in
volved, withdrawal of the British
warship and cancellation of ex
tra-territorial rights of British
subjects. Tht. British consul has
ordered all British nationals out
of the area.
Orders from the legation at Pe
king to clear northern Antwei and
Kiangsu of Americans probably
are based on the expectation that
the tide of war is to pass through
those regions as the Nationalists
drive towurd Peking in a final
struggle with the northern war
lords for mastery of all China
south of the Manchurian wall. The
two provinces are still in northern
hands, but with the Cantonese ad
vancing. There are indications of
a wide enveloping movement
against Peking as a part of the
southern strategy.
The statement made by the Jap
anese to Chang’s representatives
that the Nanking outbreak indicat
ed lack of control by the National
ist leaders over their subordinates
caused Minister MacMurray to
warn Americans to evacute Na
tionalist territory. —^Associated

Fourth Election Held.
Pleasant
Election
The school election held in
Pleasant Grove township Tues
day, March 20, to determine
whether or not that section should
have an eight months school, was
defeated by 120 votes. The elec
tion, if carried, would have pro
vided a tax not exceeding fifty
cents on the hundred dollars worth
of property fur the maintenance of
the extra term above six months,
and a suitable building would have
been erected by the county to take
cnre of the 1100 school children
within the radius of such a school.
Considerable interest was mani
fested in the matter, hard work
Wing done by both sides. Five
hundred seventy-seven voters reg
istered for the election, 160 vot
ing for it and 253 against it.
This is the fourth election that
has been held in an effort to get
a good school in Pleasant Grove.
Several reasons all of which com
bined to defeat the election have
been assigned. Then* has lljeen
strong opposition all along to the
movement, the opposition going
so far as to contest a previous
election which was carried by a
small majority. The case, how
ever. did not go to court, and a
change in the county policy about
that time automatically cancelled
the bond issue. The recent elec
tion was called in accord with the
new plan for financing the large
schools in the county system.
MRS. DAVIS SPEAKS
AT JEWISH TEMPLE
Mr.;. Joe Davis, of Smithfield,
spoke at Temple Beth Or Sin
'day morning:, March 20, in celebra
jtion of the Feast of Lots, or the
Purim.
“Purim means lot, fate, destiny,”
(she said. “At times the lot of the
Jew has been exceedingly bitter.
(Frequently his fate, suspended by
a slender thread has hung precar
I iously in the balance. But—his
destiny has seemed subject always
to the control of divine Providence.
Even when mighty torrents of
brutality swept over him, and
pages and pages of suffering were
inscribed in his history, the ulti
mate destiny of the Jew loomed
up as an indestructible something
|—that could not be affected by the
vicissitudes of fate and of fortune
I “A watchful, protecting Force
safeguarding the future destiny ol
the Jew, even whe: his immediatt
presence appeared hopelessly des
titute, seemed to stand always ir
the background of history.”
The Purim narrative will nevci
cease to hold a fascination for thi
Jewish race, she stated, addin*
that the physical occurrences sig
nificant though they were, do no
constitute the sole motif of thi
celebration. The story teaches thi
race not to despair in the
nf grave danger, but to maki
,U*jd the guide and shield, sh<

Hold Up County
Highway Loan
individuals At Benson
Serve Restraining Or
der On Highway Com
mission To Prevent Re
lending of $500,000 To
Build Another Road.
RALEIGH, Mar. 31.—A re
straining order preventing the
Highway Commission from ac- j
cepting the continued use of the;
$500,000 loan from Johnston coun
ty to build a new road through |
the county instead of repaying the j
county loan under the terms of i
the law passed by the 1927 J><*g- I
is la tu re. was served on the com- j
mission yesterday.
The order, signed by Judge W. I
A. Devin, is returnable before!
■Judge W. C. Harris in Smithfield
on April 18. It also restrains the
county commissioners of Johnston j
county from carrying out their;
;part of the agreement in loaning:
the money. Provisions fur contin
uing the loan were made before
the Legislature passed the law i
providing that no more county
loans should be accepted by the!
Highway Commission, subject,
the
however, to the approval of
full board of commissioners at I
their next meeting which will take
place April G.
The funds were first loaned the;
Highway Commission to pave i
[route 22 through the county, and'
this contract went to the Supreme
[Court to test the validity of coui-[
ty loans. The commissioners of j
Johnston county then proposed that j
the.Highway Commission keep the'
loan and use it to open up a new
road running north and south I
through the county, leaving route:
loo at Zebulon just outside the nor
thern limits of Johnston county,!
'and running via SmithfieM to con-j
meet with the road at Newton
[Grove which is just outside the
[southern limits of the county.
The restraining order was
brought by individuals at Benson,
[which is in thP southwestern cor-1
Iner of the county, and which would
not be materially affected by open-,
ing up the new road.
INTEREST DEEPENS IN
ltlSHOl'S CRI SADE
The services conducted each
evening this week at St. Paul’s
| Episcopal church have been help
ful and full of interest to those
who have attended. The rector,
Rev. Sidney Matthew, is being as
sisted by Rev. W. A. Lilycrop, of
Hamlet, who has preached- with an
earnestness that has made last
ing impressions upon his hearers.
Tuesday evening, upon the topic,
“loosing Touch With God,” Rev.
Mr. Lilycrop delivered a fine dis
course, using Judas as an out
standing* illustration of his sub
ject. Wednesday evening, “Re
jecting Jesus” was the subject of
the sermpn, while last evening
“Suffering” was the theme dwelt
upon. The subject for this evening
is “Immortality,” a subject that
will have an appeal in itself. The
preacher will use this text: “If a
I man die, shall he live again?”—
Job 14:14. The congregations
have increased with each service
showing that tho interest deepens.
There will be no service to
morrow (Saturday) night, and
with Sunday morning service at
eleven o’clock, the crusade will
come to a close. “The Touch of
Christ” will be the central thought
of the discourse.

rival no one was at home except
the son who was using* a hammer
about a post in the yard. Before
either spoke, as Deputy Talton
approached the negro, the negro
made for him with the hammer.
Talton retreated as far as he could,
but when the negro was in hitting
distance, and when he drew the
hammer back to land a blow, ac
cording to the statement of Tal
ton, it was necessary to defend
himself with his gun. He fired,

The trouble, according to the

negro had a chicken-eating hog
near his mother’s chickens. His
imother, who is said to be about 68

the hog. He became angry and

DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO
KILL FORI) HINTED
DETROIT, Mich., Mar. 30.—
Sources close to Henry Ford said
tonight that they considered the
injury to the motor manufacturer
last Sunday night, when his coupe
was forced over an embankment,
to have been a deliberate effort
to kill him.
A “great many” investigators
other than members of the Ford
organization’s staff have been
placed at work, it was stated, and
the automobile which clashed past
Mr. Ford’s car and swept it off
the road is believed to have been
identified.
As Mr. Ford, driving the light
coupe of his own manufacture,
neared the bridge over the Rouge
River, the big* car dashed towards
him and forced him over the em
bankment just as he got clear of
the bridge.
Mr. Ford tonight rested in his
own hospital in no immediate
danger, according to the one bul
letin issued from his bedside by
Dr. R. D. McClure, chief surgeon
• of the hospital.
There at first was a slight con
cussion. from which he has re
covered, a “transient hematuria
(passage of blood from the blad
der) and Hemoptysis (expectora
tion of blood, usually due to hem
orrhage of the lungs) which has
cleared up,” according to the doc
tor.
The injuries, which will kee^:
the motor manufacturer abed foi
two weeks, consist of “severe con
tusious over the ribs and back
with considerable strain of bad
muscles.”
Fixation of the chest and bad
: by splinting has been resorted to

MAGNOLIA GARDENS
ATTRACT VISITORS
CHARLESTON, S. C., Mar. 28.
—A few' plants of the first of the
specie “azalea indica” brought to
this country almost 300 years ago
and planted by a Sonia Carolina
minister to “see if theyVl grow”
today have blossomed into the
most famous flower garden in
America, if not the world.
The spot, now known as “Mag
nolia Gardens” situated near here,
'attracts hundreds of visitors daily
during the spring from every sec
tion of the nation. The variety of
blossoms are almost without nura*
iber, some containing shades of
jpink, others crimson, white, lilac,
blue and purple.
| While the estate, still in the
hands of descendants of the origi
nal settlers, once contained many
[acres, much of it was sold years
ago when it was found to possess
valuable minerals. The garden*,
however, comprise 24 acres of mul
ti-colored azaleas, camelia-japonic
and w’isteria and 10 acres of vel
vety lawns bordered with giant
water oaks. These oaks were plant
ed in 1671 by the original owner,
j The first plants “tried out” in
the seventeenth century were sent
to the Rev. John Grimko Drayton,
from Pennsylvania following their
importation from the orient. The
rigid winters of Pennsylvania
were found too severe and the
minister was asked to use them
and see if they would grow in
South Carolina.
An idea of the immensity of
the gardens now can be obtained
from the fact that more than 106
persons are kept busy the year
around caring for the plants.—
