THE HOME NEWSPAPER SMITHFIELD, N. C„ FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBERS, 1929 EIGHT PAGES TODAY NUMBER 91 State4And Nation News Paragraphs Virginia Gubernatorial Elec tion Sweeping Victory for Regular Democrats; Dem ocrats Win In Other States The election of John Garland Pollard, Democratic candidate for governor of Virginia, is regarded as a most significant victory. His opponent was Dr. William Mosley Brown, anti-Smith Democratic candidate. The election of a reg ular democrat is taken to indi cate that President Hoover’s suc cessful invasion of! the “soitd South last year was but tem porary. Democratic leaders believe that the victory in Virginia will have a psychological effect. The home precinct of Bishop Cannon, organizer of the anti-Smith dem ocrats last year, went democratic by a good majority, giving Pol lard 479 votes to 61 for Brown. Jouett Shouse, chairman of the democratic national committee, is said to have hailed the electioi? returns in Virginia as a return of the Old Dominion to political normalcy. Mayor James A. Walker was re-elected mayor of New York in the election held Tuesday. A dem ocratic landslide was indicated in 'Hie first returns. His opponent was Major La Guardia, republican Fusion candidate. Democratic leaders were also jubilant over the returns of democratic majori ties in the Kentucky legislature. Kentucky is said to have been fov years a barometer state. The New York mayoralty victory has no significance from a national standpoint. It was generally c < pected. Horace Wheeler, loom fixer in the Loray mills at Gastonia, has been identified by an eye-witnesa as the slayer of Mrs. Ella Mac Wiggins, Bessemer City textile union member, who was shot by a mob on September 14. The iden tification furnished the climax of the second day of the third in vestigation into the shooting of /he woman. Sixteen persons have been arrested as members of the alleged mob which caused the death of Mrs. Wiggins, but evi dence against Wheeler is accu mulating as the trial proceeds. Thanksgiving ■will be observed on Thursday, November 28, in conformity with the traditional proclamation issued by President Hoover Wednesday for the Amer ican people to gather in then places of worship on that day and render thanks for the blessings be stowed upon them during the lad year. The president said in thr proclamation that assurances ol l>oace have strengthened and -t. larged, and he pointed out bha enlightment “has grown apaca i new revelations of scientific taut: and in diffusion of knowledge ’ The president’s plans for Thanks gjiying are very simple. He v;'.\ worship in one of the Quake churches and later enjoy a qu.a family dinner at the White Hou~,r St Paul’s Episcopal Church. There will be services at St. Paul’s church Sunday morning at J 'll o’clock and Sunday nig-ht at 7:00 o’clock by Rev. Duncan Thomas, rector. The public is cordially invited. “Bredren and Si stern,” shouted Parson Melonwater, ”yo’ want to be ready to jump when yo’ hcahs Gabriel blow dat horn.” ‘‘Fo’ goodness sake!” murmured brother Rasmus, “am he a-comin' ir. er autymobeel ?” Tantalizer There are exactly enough let ters in the line below to spell the name of a person in Smith field or Johnston County, and to the one deciphering their same and presenting a copy of this paper to the Herald oillce, 9 we will present a free ticket to the Victory Theatre.

At the Jun_> ' erm, 1927, Haynes was on trial ' lor a gun assault on Harry Bau- ! com, in which Baucom sustained i a painiful and serious wound. His i trial had progressed far enough | for Haynes to see that the table., were turning against him and during a recess of the court he made his flight, which has be mi a successful one until yesterday. (When arrested he made the best he could cf a bad situation in which he found himself and smil- ■ ingly told the officers that he , was in the act of getting ready to go over to Smithfiekl to sur render himself. Haynes is a 1 tive cf Wilson county but moved ' to Johnston county several years 1 ago and married in this county < and settled down for a time in tr.e : town of Wilson’s Mills. His re:- ' ord here in the county is father > unsavory, as he has been in court 1 several times on minor charges ! and he has the reputation of be- ! mg a notorious rum runner. Get Negro Who Cut Roland Hayes Would-Be Slayer of Deputy Sheriff Is Caught in Wilson ■ Hayes Out of Hospital Walter Smith, a negro charged with an assault upon the peace officers who were policing tho r.cgro fair here last week, in which Deputy Sheriff Roland Hayes received several stabs with a knife cf a serious nature, was 'arrested by police authorities in jWilson Wednesday of this week and yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff J. 0. Hinton went to Wilson and escorted the would-be killer to the jail of this county, ‘where he is being held in default 'cf bail for his appearance at the December term. Smith is gener ally regarded as a “had negro,*' he -having served on the county roads -here on former convictions of grave crimes. On the night of October ill, this negro- and *w 'eial of iris companions were in a ‘ row on the fair grounds, and Deputy Sheriff Hayes and Special Police" Officer C. Q. Stephenson 1 were there trying to keep peace ■ among them. But enough liquor had been drunk by those engaged ■lilt the row to not only make them . ! noisy but defiant. Deputy Sherifl . | Hayes arrested Walter Smith and .vith the assistance on >fficeT or two, was attempting to put handcuffs on lnm. In the scuffle the negro whipped out his knife and began cutting Officer Hayes, lie soon secured his re lease and made his escape. Since that time he has been in hiding, but while lie has been scouting, the sheriff has been diligent m an effort to locate him. He re ceived information that the negro was in Wilson and it required only a little assistance on tfie part of the police authorities in Wilson to identify and arrest him. Mr. Hayes was confined to the hospital for about two days fol lowing the cutting but went home last Monday in an improved con dition. Training School to Play i'ootball.

Pub Lie Welfare, empha sises the importance of regulaj attendance at school in an artieh written by Supt. Joseph J. Ston< Waynesville, which has a time ly applicati on in Johnston county, as indeed in every county of the state. ‘‘The state pays foT attendance, md we have to pay for absence.” >ay.s Supt. Stone to his school pa rous. The new Hancock Law bases the imount the county may share in he equalization fund on the mini ler of teachers warranted by the chool attendance. The low at endance in many school's through ut the state has caused a reduc ion in the teaching force, al h'O-ugh the teacher may have a arge number of children on the oil book. The county may help itself out >f this dilemma by improving its Percentage of daily attendance. 4r. Stone explains the workings >f this system: “We have to have a fairly good ittendance record if we are to get ufficient teachers to take care of >ur children next year. The state L'ilots teachers on the basis of he average attendance of the ear before. To show you just low this works out, let me take, or example, a school that just *ates four teachers. Four teach f-rsi are allotted for 110 pupils in iverage daily attendance. Here the iverage number of pupils in av ?rage attendance peir teacher vould be 27.5. Now if each pupil rad perfect attendance the year rrevious, and allowing for normal development in the community, his would make an enrollment >f about 30 or 32 pupils pe* ciacher next year when school rpens. But suppose the attend imce is poor, say about 80 per 'ent, as is often the case, where >eople are indifferent about school ittendance or where sickness in he community prevents atterid ince at school, then the enrol 1 ner.it the following year goes up ,o 38 or 40, or even more, per eacher. It’s just about true that he state pays for attendance and we have to pay for absence. “But I don’t want to stress ittendance only from this phase )f school work, important as it is, without a doubt. There is an other a^gle to this question, lire jhiId who is out misses the les son the teacher has carefully pre pared for its benefit. In addition to the recitation, the child fail? to get the assignment for the next day. It conies to school and both ers other children1 and the teacher trying to find out what the day’., lessons are. It really takes wo or three days to get back in the swing of things again. Often it is the child that has to struggle along to make a barely passing grade that misses the day or so, anld it results in failure for the month.” Mrs. Bueck Entertains Faculty. iSelma, Nov. 7.—Several parties were given last week by Mrs. H. Bueck honoring the Selma school faculty. Wednesday evening the high school faculty were guests at a bridge dinner. Three courses were served amid a setting of brightly colored autumn leaves and chry santhemums, suggestive of the Hiailliowe’en season which was fur ther carried out in the place cards and tallies. Later in the evening bridge was played at three tables. Thursday afternoon the prim&iy teachers enjoyed a game of bruigt with Mrs. Bueck after which . plate luncheon was served.

Broughton, a member of the Raleigh Civitun club and popular young lawyer of that city. “A civic club should contribute to the spirit of the community and the service of a civic club lies in. its community spirit,” stated the speaker, as he projetedi into a more detailed discussion otf the subject. He made it clear that it is mot true material linings, out the spirit of a community, that indefinable thing-, that should oc-. cupy first importance in the ob jectives of a club as well as in the daily life of the individual. Senator Broughton left a delight ful impression with the members of the club. Rev. A. C. Fellman, Christian missionary to the Jews, of Balti more, explained the mission to which, he is assigned as that which tends to bring about a bet ter understanding between Jewish and Christian peoples of every l'and. In characteristic Jewish manner the speaker was illuminat ing in his remarks, pointing out that any community, city or lo cality without Jews is a dull dead locality- that they contribute well socially, religiously and financial ly to their community. A delightful feature of this week's luncheon was the musical part of the program given by Mis. Lucy Hood Coletrane, Miss Arab Hooks and Mir. Theroa Johnson. W. H. Lassiter was a guej; of the club. IRIMTY JUBILEE SINGERS COMING TO SMITH FIELD The Joihiusiton County Training school faculty and students take this opportunity to extend to the public a cordial invitation to be present in the school auditorium Monday nigfnt, November 11, and enjoy the musical program to he rendered by The Trinity Jubilee Singers who will be presented by Hubert Washington, manager and second tenor.

Yo-Yoing Inspries Unique Contest j News-Argus at Goldsboro Sponsors Yo-Yo Contest on | Nov. 16; Prizes To Be Giv : « Away ryiiff , Judging1 from a paragraph i;i 5 the Sm-ithfield school news item*, recently, Yo-yoers in the locrl -J•school will welcome the idea of a Yo-yoing contest. The NefWswArgu® at Goldsbor-. J is sponsoring such an event to he held o’n the steps of the Wayne county courthouse on Saturday. November 16, if the weather per mits, or on the following Sat urday should bad weather inter fere with the first date. School champions are invited to enter Jthe contest. Prizes will be given to the win ners in each of several events of the Yo-yo contest. Another will be for the yo-yo operated with the longest trine for a full minute. Whoever brings in and operates the biggest yo-yo will get a priz. | And the prettiest homemade I yo-yo will also receive a prize. There won't be any competition for keeping a yo-yo in operation the longest time because the judges refuse to take a chance of staying up half a day and all the following night watching a bunch of yo-yoers. The oldest man and the oldest woman who enter the contest and yo-yo will receive prizes, as will the youngest boy and youngest girl who can yo-yo. The contest is going to be more fun for the spectators and for the entrants than a barrel of mor • keys. Its big, final day will be a Saturday so that everybody from the seven counties who want to attend', either to try for a priz or to watch and cheer for tho home yo-yoers can be able to be present. WAREHOUSES WILL HAVE USUAL SALES MONDAY Armistice Day, national hol iday, in celebration of the cessation of activities on the battlefields in the world war, falls this year on Monday. Next Monday is the day, and it will be generally observed as a holiday. The tobacco markets, however, will no!: close, and the warehouses in Smithfield, along with ware houses of other places, will have their usual sales. An effort has been made to find out if business houses here expect to close Monday, but the sentiment seems to be about equally divided and as we go to press it is not known what will be the decision.
