!Car of Oscar Peel Left on
Fill Near Here When
> Gas Gives Out
Automobile thieves successfully re
moved Mr. Oscar Peel's Ford from his
i parage between here and Washington
last Tuesday morning, hut their fail
uie to check the gasoline supplv
caused them to later desert the ma
chine on the Roanoke River fill near
the big bridge. Mr. Peel stated that
he heard his dog hark several times
alxiut 3 o'clock that morning, and he
believes the thieves were pushing the
car from its shelter at that time. At
4:30, upon arising, Mr. Peel found the
shelter empty and started a search.
Remembering that there was very
little gasojine left in the car, the own
er inquired after the missing car at
several filling stations, but found no
truce of it until he reached Station
No. 30, operated by George Harris,
at the river here. Mr. Harris stated
that two white men had called for gas
oline at 4:10 that morning, they in
it rming him that their gas supply gave
out on them just across the river. The
filling station operator had no con
tainer, the two men then stating that
they would go push the inach ne hack,
as it was only a short distance away.
They failed to make a second appear
ance, "anT ii i believe 1 that they be
came frightened after they had turned
the car around and immediately left it
in the middle of the road. Mr. Har
ris stated that both of the men wore
c;;fs, and while he was not sure as to
the dress of one of the null, one of
them wore a brown suit
Mr. Peel found his car about 6 o'-
clock that morning
Earlier in the night, thieves attempt
ed to run off the truck at Mr. Ben
Ward's home, just the other side of
Mr Peel's, but they failed to start the
engine. It is thought that the same
parties attempting to drive the Ward
truck off ran off Peel car. Ihe
switch keys from both machines were
missing, indicating that the thieves are
interested in stealing cars, knowing
that their chances are slightly better
when they have proper keys.

Entering the atore of W. D. Ambera
here early thia morning, a burglar or
burglars, apparently failed to make
away with any of the contents, ac
cording to the owner who found the
lock on the front door broken off.
Mr. Ambera stated thia morning that
he could assign only two reasons for
the forced entrance. The thief enter
ed to ateal, but was frightened away,
or it might have been some drunk

For Sunday Announced

mental classes.
Worship services, II a. m. Subject:
"The Ever-Present Christ."
The fact that a Christian may have
Jesus Christ for a daily companion
is sometimes denied, frequently ig
nored, and seldom fully appreciated.
Some people believed Jesus te be dead,
others look upon Him as a far-off dis
tant Saviour; many believe that He is
present in the world, hut few have ex
perienced the joy of having Him a
constant, ever-present, daily compan
ion. It is posisible to have Christ as
a daily companion. If so, how may
this be realized? If you are interested,
hear • the message to be delivered at
the Presbyterian Church Sunday, June
9th, at II a. m. The public is cor
dially invited.

trict Meeting There
Wednesday
•
, Masons of the Eighteenth District
f met with Stonewall Lodge, at Rob
ersonville, Wednesday night. All the
. lodges in the district were represent
ed at the gathering, except one.
A preliminary meeting was held at
i 5 o'clock in the afternoon, at which
[ .time the officers of the subordinate
. lodges were given instruction by Grand
. Master I'hdcnix and Grand Secretary
I Anderson.
Following this meting all the Ma
. sons were invited to the Woman's
■ Club Room, where a nice supper was
[ served by the Robersonville lodge, as
r sisteil by a committee of ladies.
The night session was held in the
Junior Order hall, which afforded
more room than the V_Masouic Hall.
Short reports were made by some off?
I cer of each lodge present.
Grand Secretary John 11. Anderson
■ was presented and made a fine talk on'
tin fundamentals of Masonry. Ihe
Grand Master followed with a very
fun talk, reciting some of the things
Masonry in North Carolina has done,
especially in the charitable and educa
tional field. He told of some of the
Work of the Oxford. Orphan Asylum,
, which is the oldest institution of its
\ kind in the State and which has sent
tut thousands of well-trained young
men and women for the tasks of life,
who, without charity of some kind,
would have been doomed to rags and
ignorance.
He also brought out the fact that
the Masonic and Eastern Star Home,
at Greensboro, for the care of old peo
ple, is doing a splendid service in car
ing for- many men and women who
have lived' useful and honorable lives
but who have reached old age and
been crushed under the wheels of mis
fortune, without kinspeople to givt*>
them care. They are now receiving
the blessings which all people appre
ciate and need, food, clothing, and,
above all, the love of their fellow
men.
He also emphasize the fact that the
Masonic bodies of the Slate have cre
-1 ated a revolving loan fund for 32 col
leges in North Carolina, by which bun
! dreds of young men and women of
the State may find a way to attend col
! lege.
Several short talks were made by
■ others. A' fine spirit prevalicd and the
numbers present seemed to catch a
new inspiration and were greatly
> strengthened in their zeal for Mason
ry.

LOCAL CHURCH'S
REVIVAL CLOSES
r - —•—
10-Day Meeting at Metho
dist Church Has Been
Largely Attended **
——® '
The ten-day revival in the local
Methodist church was brought to a j
successful close last evening, when the
evangelist, Rev. B. Duke Critcher, de- |
tivered a forceful sermon based on
the second chapter, third verse, He- !
brews, "How Shall We Escape, If We !
Neglect so Great a Salvation ?"
The services have been well attend- j
throughout the meeting, and while i
few connected themselves with the
Church, the revival has had a market)
spiritual effect on the town.
In his sennon last evening, Rev. Mr.
Critcher uphelf the Gospel as a sav
ing power or a condeming force, that
no man can escape as everyone must
comf under its power according to the
good or bad one has done.
The minister clearly pictured the
destruction resulting from neglect,
which was described as the greatest
sin. One's failure to do good is equal
ly as bad as the actual committing of
some of the sinful things, the preach
er declared. "The man who fails to
lay hold of the life line, the gospel of
salvation, will go over the precipice
along with the man who actually per-'
| forms evil deeds."

FRUIT FLY IS
NEW MENACE
Horticulturist Says Indus
try Throughout South
Threatened ,
With the spread of the Mediter
ranean fruit fly in tlorida, the horti
cultural industry throughout the
South is threatened, according to I)r
R. W. lieiby, State entomologist of
the State. Department of Agriculture
"You have heard of the European
Cprn Borer, the Japanese Beetle, the
Mexican Bean Beetle, and the Cotton
801 l Weevil, and all of them have
proven to be quite serious and de
structive pests to crops," said Dr.
Leiby. "Yet the destruction caused!
by all of these put together would |
not equal that of the Mediterranean
Fruit Fly, in my opinion, if this!
newly introduced pest now in Flor
ida, were to invade the southeastern
states und California.
The spread of the fly, which Dr.
Leiby described as "the most serious [
that man ever had to contend i
with,'' would be a matter of only a
few years, Dr. Leiby said. The peaeh '
industry in the' Bermuda Islands was
completely wiped out by the fly, while
the Hawaiian Islands can ship no
fruits and vegetables in this country
except green pineapples on account of
the rigid quarantines the United
States maintains against the fly.
"The fly has been in Florida, per
haps six months, —perhaps 18 months
—certainly no longer. It is certain
that infested vegetables, grapefruit,
and oranges have come into the
southern states and into North Caro
lina during the winter and spring.
And this is especially true of bulk
grapefruit and oranges—the kinds
that are moved by auto truck and in
bulk car lots, for these kinds are of
ten second grade stock, and therefore
more likely to be Infested than the
boxed fruits.
"Entomologists know that the fly
maggot s leave the slightly decayed
fruits, that they infested when they
are fully grown,—then go into the
soil where they transform to flies.
And when they are fully grown flies
they work their way out of the soil
and fly around to search for other
fruits in which they lay their eggs.
The eggs produce tiny maggots and
these feed in the fruit or Vegetable
apd cause it to decay."

sd forth that only $6,380 will be spent
f r new paved streets, $3,340 of the

I The contract prepared last Tuesday

SEND GIRL TO
SAMARCAND
■ *
Alma Powel, 15, Disregards
Juvenile Court Order and
Is Taken Into Custody
——«
, A juvenile court order passed by
j Judge R. J. Peel here several months
j ago having proved practically worth
' leas to her, Alma Powell, pretty 15-
year-old girl-of near Gold Point, was
taken into custody and ordered plac
ed in Samarcand by county welfare
officers this week. A warrant charg
ing interference with a minor has
been issued against K. E. Fuller, said
to be a resident of Edgecombe coun
! ty. His arrest had not been made at
noon today.
The young Powell girl left her home
more than ten days ago, relatives con
necting her departure with that of a
married man of Uobersonville. This
charge could not be founded, and
judging from the warrant issued by
the girl's relative*, guilt is centered
on Fuller. The girl was returned to
her home late Wednesday, welfare
workers immediately asking that she
be admitted to the institution at Bis
coe.
Fearing that the girl would make
her escape before time to leave for
' the institution, officers started to
| place her in the jail here, but she
j stated she was ill and no arrest was
. made. It ia not known just when she'll
| be entered in the institution.
Several months ago relatives, un
able to control the girl, brought her
before Mr. R. J. Peel, judge of the
juvenile court. An arrangement was
made for the girl's carp at that time,
but she scion tired of her new living
conditions, and it is understood that
she returned to her own pleasures, go
ing where she wished ami doing prac
tically as she pleased.
