WTOMOlill.K ACCIDENT AT
PKIN( ETON Tl ESDAY
PP1 NORTON, Sept. 1:5.—An.
ether accident occurred at the cor
ner of Centra! highway and Pine
street crossing Tuesday in the town
of Princeton. Two cars were badly
damaged hut no per.-.wn was se
riously injured. One of these ears
was in a funeral procession and in
this car was one man. his wife,
and nine small children.
When the highway was graded
across this street and through
town, the grade was raised about
two feet at Pine street crossing,
leaving the approaches very steep
on each side the highway. To dis
interested persons it would seem to
he the duty of the highway forces
to till in and make the approaches
more accessible. Only a few months
ago a funeral, procession was
wrecked at this crossing and the
coilin.was almost knocked out o!
the truck in which it was beinp
conveyed. There is an accident ai
this corner every few days. It i>
true that most all of these acci
i dents have been caused by automo
; biles approaching at high speed.

Robinson Places
Blame On Hoover
Says In His Charlotte
Speech That Hoover
Is Largely Respon
sible For Failure of
Farm Legislation
CHARLOTTE, S-;it. Jl>. -Her-!
bert Hoover was accused tonight
by Senator Robinson of being the
“principal cause of the failure” of
farm legislation during the Hard
ing and Coolidge administrations.
Breaking a silence ho has main
tained on the farm relief issue
since formally accepting the Dem
ocratic vice presidential nomina
tion. the senator attacked the rec
ords of both the Republican pres
idential nominee and of Republi
canism in general and declared
that “neither he nor his party is
entitled to further opportunity.”
Mi-. Robinson declared that no
mono outstanding: instance could be
found of the “inefficiency and fail
ure cf the Republican party in its
conduct of national affairs during
the last eight years than that re
lating to the farm problem.’’
Further, the senator declared
that Mr. Hoover, while food ad
ministrator under Woodrow Wi!
-i n, never did “anything to in
crease the price of American
wheat, but on the contrary sought
to stabilize the price at a level at
times far below the market price.”
Contending that adverse condi
tions in agriculture had prevailed
■d.”*e the war, Mr. Robinson said
- in the “opinion of many” the
rendition had originated in the pol
icy of food control adopted by
Hoover while serving as food ad
ministrator.
Hoover’s Letter To Peek.
Assailing Senator Sackett, of
Kentucky, and other Republicans
who, ho argued, sought to popu
larize the Republican standard
bearer with the farmers by assert
ing that as food administrator he
had made every possible effort to
increase the price of American
wheat, the senator declared that on
April d, lDli), Mr. Hoover had
wired George X. Peek, a farm |
group leader, in part as follows: I
“There is sufficient food for all tin- 1
-ii next harvest, if ships are avail-j
able to take two or three times;
as long a journey to the cheaper1
and more remote markets than the
Cnitcd States.
“Further, the tendencies of pri
in the United States would be
it wnward as the result of compe
tition of those remote markets.
r Again I wish to repeat that
unless some superior force inter
venes, we do not propose to allow
the American consumer to suffer
from such rates in the price of
bread and we intend to hold the
j price of wheat to the figure it has
i -f ood during the entire war under
j congressional guarantee."
| After reading this, the senator
-;iid that “these declarations over
his own signature disprove" the
claim that it. was Hoover’s pur
pose to obtain the highest possible
price for the farmer, and it shows
that he wanted to keep the price
Many reasons might be urged,
he added, in justification of the
efforts to stabilize essential food
prices but Hoover's friends “ought
not to attempt to capitalize his
efforts, by misrepresenting them
as particularly beneficial to far
mers."
Lower Tariff Needed.
“The Democratic platform re
pudiates as impractical," the sen
ator went on, “the pre-campaign

Negro Hospital
For Smithfield
Nine Icon Room Building Be
ing Erected By Jim Smith
To Be I'sed By I)r. Furlong
As Hospital For Colored
People
Smithfield is to have a negro
hospital, according to Jim Smith,
colored drayman, who is erecting
a nineteen room brick building for
this .purpose. The building which
has been in the course of erection
for about ninety days was intend
ed originally for a residence, but
ihroe weeks ago Dr. C. W. Fur
long, colored physician of this city,
arranged with him to turn it into
a hospital which will be used for
the colored race. An operating
room is included in the nineteen
rooms, and a surgeon from Wil
mington will come here to do the
operating.
The building represents an out
lay of around $13,000 and will be
i credit to the town. It is located
on Johnston street not far from
the station. It is expected to be
complete and ready for occupancy
by November 1.
In commenting upon the new
venture, Jim Smith stated that it
was the desire of those promoting
it to serve the negro race by teach
ing better health habits, and also
to serve the, white folks by mak
ing it possible for them to know
that the colored people whom they
employed are healthy.
Jim Smith is a well known negro
here, where he has hauled freight
ind express and done other dray
ing until he has built up a good
business. Ilis enterprise is to be
commended, as well as that of Dr.
Furlong, and others of the race
who through their interest in bet
ter health are undertaking this
hospital project. Dr. Furlong has
practiced medicine here for several
years and has built up a wide and
lucrative practice.
