President Hoover and Prime
Minister MacDonald Issue
Statement of Historic Sig
nificance
President Hoover and Pri.no
Minister MacDonald joined Wed
nesday in a statement which de
clares that the possibility of war
between Groat Britain and the
United States has been removed
and naval competition has been
terminated. The peace mission of
the prime minister has an his
toric significance, in that the
problem of freedom of the seas,
which has been the cause of many
controversies is considered solv
eel. The statement emphasizes the
Kellogg prate treaty, pledging
its signatories to abandon war
as an instrument of national pol
icy, made possible a new era in
world peace which the United
States and Britain propose to
bring into being.” Yesterday the
prime minister and his daughter,
Miss Ishbel, left Washington for
Philadelphia to begin their home
ward journey which will take
them to New York and Canada.

Colorful Story
Domestic Tragedy Culmi
nates In Marriage — Un
usuai Difficulties Are Over
come
“Maid, Wife or Widow,” or j
“Wedded and Parted,” would
probably have been chosen by
Bent ha, M. Clay or Mary J. Holmes'
as the- title of the story we have,
to tell; or Shakespeare might
have named it “All’s Well That
Ends Well.” But no matter about
the caption. The story is rea'
enough, and it happened right
here in North Carolina.
In fact, Columbus and Johnston I
counties furnished the setting for
this romantic tale that is not
without its villian, nor without
a hint cf the hand of fate, as well
as a Prince Charming, who after
trials and .tribulations won hi-,
bride, fair though forty.
Some years ago two souls that
thought they “were as one” stood
before a minister and spoke the
vows that made them husband
and wife. These were a Miss
White and one Will Sugg, of Co-:
lu mb us county. Their course of
love ran smooth enough at fitst
but the time came when crue'
looks and cruel words led even
to cruel blows, and the mistreat el
wife took her martial troubles to
the courthouse. When the tr:al
was over her once happy lover
found himself behind prison b us. ■
The judge had imposed in awc
rome tones a sentence of ten
years in the state penite 't:ary.
The wife went back home to pur
sue once more the even tenor "f,
her way. thinking that she was
forever free from him who caused
her many a heartache.
Two years passed—two years
of Sugg’s ten-year sentence had
been marked off the dial of time.
The wife decided to leave behind
her the scenes of her unhappiness
and to seek a heme in new sur
roundings. -She chose Johnston
county and in O’Neals township
she came to live where she was
known as the Widow Sugg. New
friends were made as time went
on. Three years passed. Soon
there was one whose regard rip
ened into something deeper than
mere friendship. II. L. Creech
began to pay open court to the'
Widow Sugg who looked with
favor upon his attentions, an*,
it was not long before a marriage
license was bought and Mrs Su.
changed her name to Mrs. Creech.
A week passed. Mr. and Mrs.
Creech came to town. They
sought a lawyer’s office. In ct,
they sought the office of Wellon?
and We I Ions where they poured
their story into the ears of the<e
sympathetic attorneys. It devel
oped that Mrs. Creech had never
been divorced from Will Sugg.
She thought she was divorced, and
as a matter of fact, had all kinds
of grounds on which to obtain
one. But the fact remained that
she was still the wife of the man
in the state prison. The attorneys
advised the troubled couple to
separate, and in due time a di
vorce irom Mtgg wouiu ue gram- j
ed. *
The time set for the divorce1
suit was Monday, September 23,
the first day of the two weeks’
term of civil Superior court which
has just closed here. It so hap
pened that Judge Daniels did net
finish court in Sampson county
and the two weeks term m John-;
stort did not begin until Septem
ber 25. The divorce case waj
moved up to Friday, October 4,|
the last day of the term. But j
stranger than fiction the divorce;
was never to be granted. Tues-j
|day morning, October 1. Attorney!
Wollons opened his favorite morn
ing daily and his eyes fell on a
news item that held his atten
tion. A convict by the name of
Will Sugg while working with the
convict force in Bladen county had
been killed by a falling tree. The
lawyer was stumped. Was this the
husband of his client, or was it
some other \v ill feugu; who was n
convict? The Creerhes came t<
court on Friday, for they had
not seen the news item. Attorney
Welkins told them what he had
read. They felt sure that the ob
stacle to the new marriage had
been removed, but the attorney
“HOG” SENSE SAVES LIFE I
RECENT FLOOD
Cyclones, storms and floods
nearly always occasion some
sort of freak of nature that
seems like a miracle. During
the recent Hood when Ncusc
River had overflowed it-,
banks an<t covered crops, and
endangered the lives of cat
tle and hoj»s, a circumstance
occurred that is cither an ex
ample of “hog” sense, or a
predicament in which a hog
found himself, hut which was
the means of saving his life.
W. S. Peterson, the morning
after the waters had risen
to a considerable height, was
out in a boat looking after
bis stock. He bad one par
ticularly lino hog worth per
haps $50. He was reasonably
sure his fine hog was drown
ed, and was about not to go
j toward the pen where the hog
was. A colored man who was
with him, however, claimed to
see the eyes of the hoy; and
they rowed to the pen. Sure
enough there was the hog and
alive. It happened that a box
was in one corner of the pen
and. the hog by some mean.*'
and another had place;! his
forefeet on the top of the box.
thus keeping his snout above
water. The colored man took
the hog by the ear which as.
sisted him to swim to safety.
