Record Snowstorm Sweeps Mid
die West; Raskob Big Contrib
utor To Anti-Prohibition Fund
The first spring days were ush
ered in by a severe blizzard anc
snow storm in the Middle West
covering Chicago with a 19-incli
snow and playing havoc with
traffic. Street cars, trains, and
busses were put out of commis
sion. while 20,000 men labored
to clear the main streets of the
city. Thousands of automobiles
were Buried completely by the
drifts. The elevated railroad was
the only conveyance system in
operation and these trains were
crowded to overflowing with peo
ple trying to return to their
homes. Most of the hotels in the
business section reported every
room'taken by persons who stayed
downtown rather than risk a trip
to the residential districts. Only
four deaths in Chicago were re
ported as a result of the storm.
John J. Raskob, has not only
largely financed the activities of
the National Democratic commit
tee, but he is a liberal contribu
tor to the Association Against
the Eighteenth Amendment, ac
cording to John A. Livingstone,
Washington correspondent for the
News and Observer. Figures show
that the association last year
spent $468,000 and so far this
year has spent $98,756. ^Quoting
Mr. Livingstone: “Financial re
ports filed with the clerk of the
SHouse of Representatives disclose
\?at the Democratic national
chairman has loaned $40,000 this
year for maintaining Democratic
national headquarters in Wash
ington and New York, and that
he has contributed $17,500 to the
Association Against the Eigh
teenth Amendment. The $17,500
is in addition to the $30,000 giv
en by Raskob last year to the
Anti-Prohibition association. The
report of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment in
dicates that it is spending much
larger sums of money than either
the Republican or the Democratic
headquarters. The Democratic
treasurer reported expenditures
of $24,720 for the first two
months of this year, the Repub
lican treasurer reported expendi
tures of $21,252. while the treas
urer of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment re
ported expenditures of $98,756 for
the same period. The large sums
of money spent by the Associa
tion Against the Eighteenth
Amendment indicates the source
of the effective campaign that it
conducting. It has its head
quarters in Washington, but its
workers are in every part of the
country, their work being mainly
to circulate anti-prohibition pro
paganda."
The Supreme Court holds that
a person who gives a worthless,
post-dated check is not criminal
ly liable under the North Caro
lina bad check law. The court
reached this decision Wednesday
when no error was found in the
decision of Judge Frank A. Dan
iels in Wake county. Chief Justice
Stacey said that the fact that a
check is post-dated seems to im
ply no more than that the draw
er w'ill have or expects to have
enough funds or credit in the
bank to pay it at that time. The
bad check law was passed by the
Legislature in 1927 and it de
clared a person criminally liable
for giving a check which was
worthless upon presentation with
out regard to date.

SHIP THREE MORE
CAR LOADS Of HOGS
Two Cars Loaded In Four Oaks,
One (In Smithfield; Net Far
mers $4,200; Another Shipment
About April 7th.
Three more cars of hogs were 1
shipped from Johnston county
this week to the Richmond mar- i
ket. Two of these cars of hogs!
were leaded in Four Oaks and;
the other car at Smithfield. On I
his; return from the Richmond |
market where these hogs were!
sold, the county agent, J. B. j
Slack, reported a very successful
sale. These three cars of hogs
will net the farmers of Johnston
county $4,200.
This makes a total of five cars
shipped from the county this
spring under the direction of the
county agent, with two cars |
shipped from Benson under the
direction of the agricultural
teacher. There has been a total
of seven cars of hogs shipped
from Johnston county.
According to Mr. Slack, anoth
er shipment, consisting of two1
cars or more, will be made about !
April 7. These hog shipments are |
bringing considerable money into i
the county, which is helping the <
farmers tremendously towards!
making their crops this year.
These shipments have grown
tremendously since the rst car
was shipped from the county in
1928, under the supervision of the
county agent. In 1929 five cars of
hogs were shipped from the coun
ty and .this spring about twice
that many will be shipped. Also,
quite a number of farmers are
making plans now to ship hogs
next fall, which will bring the
total numbermf cars shipped this
year to{ probably fifteen cars, or
an increase of two hundred per
u»ci iasi ycm, anu an in
crease of fourteen hundred per
over 1928, when the first
car was shipped.

LEE B. JONES
IN MEMORY OF
LEE B. JONES
Leander Barron Jones, son of
Burkett R. and Mary A. Jones,
was born in Johnston county,
June 7, 1884, and died March 17,
1930. making his stay on earth
forty-five years, nine months and
ten days. As a boy, the son of an
honored father and mother.
C. A. Bailey, she drawing the
of the country community.. He at
tended the country school near
his home, and later, Turlington’s
Institute in Smithfield, and King's
Business college, Raleigh.
On February 2, 1908, he mar
ried Miss Maizie Johnson, a
young woman of splendid Chris
tian character, who survives him.
Their union was hallowed by a
beautiful and enduring devotion
to each other.
A modest, unassuming young
man, Lee was loved and admired
by those who knew him for his
fine integrity of character, his
firmness of principle and courage
in standing by his own convic
tions regardless'of popular o'pm
ion. Shrewd, clear-headed busi
ness man as he undoubtedly was,
he believed in following the
Golden Rule in all his dealings
with his fellowmen, and humbly
tried to put this into practice.
Just and honorable in his deal,
ings with the tenants on his
farms, as well as in all other
business associations, it can
truthfully be said of him that
he never made profit for him
self by taking advantage of an
other's distress. A newspaper clip
ping preserved by him in an old
scrap-book seems to give the key
to his character: “If honor be thy
clothing the suit will last a life
time: but. if clothing be thy
honor it will soon be worn thread
bare." He was a kindly, courte
ous, gentleman, whose every word
and act was marked by genuine
sincerity.
* * »*7 UUtlVslOV/UO OUU, O, V “
ing husband, a devoted brother
and loyal friend, Lee is keenly
missed from his home and com
munity. But those who sorrow for
him will remember his long years
of patient suffering, and will be
comforted in thinking that he
has entered into a brighter, full
er life in which there is no more
pain. The day before he passed
on he said, "We must all die to
live.” So let us think of him as
living a life of health and
strength arid beauty in the peace
of his blessed Master’s presence.
Another small clipping. Lee's
last contribution to the little
scrap-book, bears a message of
true and comforting faith:
"Build a little fence of trust
around today.
Pill in the space with loving
work and therein stay.
Look not through the sheltering
bars upon tomorrow;
God will help thee bear what
comes of joy and sorrow.”
NEGRO BAPTIST CHURCH
IS SLIGHTLY DAMAGED
The fire department was called
out Tuesday when fire was dis
covered in the negro Baptist
church. The damage was very
slight, only a small hole having
been burned in the floor.
He took an appeal and his bond
was fixed at $300.
Russell Lee, convicted of as
sault and peeping into window,
was given 30 days on the roads.
The sentence is to be suspended
upon the payment of the cost.
He gave notice of appeal.
Probable cause was found in
the case against Marvin Home
and Ollie Renfrew and they were
bound over to Superior Court,

J. b.Ilack speaks
TO KIWANIS CLUB
J. B. Slack discussed Johnston
county’s shortage of milk, hay
and com with the local Kiwan
ians at-thrtr luhcheoft yesterday
He presented convincing figures
to show that it was good business
and a great saving in dollars for
the farmers of this county to pro
duce their own hay, rather than
for them to rely on profits from
cotton to buy their hay with. He
also pointed out that with the
present cost of cotton production
it is much more economical to
raise hay than buy it, and that
this county spends about $800,
000 annually for hay grown in
other states.
Mr. Slack, urged corn produc
tion with the view of growing
hogs which brings good returns
for the corn crop. It was pointed
out that this county could easily
produce 50 car loads of hogs for
market annually to bring money
to the farmers at a time when it
is most needed.
Dr. W. L. Woodard, state school
dentist, guest of the club, pre
sented some interesting facts
relative to the corrective work he
is doing for the children of the
county at this time. He insisted
that more attention should be
given to the teeth of school chil
dren.
