Adrertiiers Will Pad Oar Col ons a Latchkey to Over Sixteen Hundred Martha County Homes VOLUME XXXIV—NUMBER 68 LOCAL OFFICERS _ HELP IN ARRREST NEGRO SLAYER Murderer Was Riding On Bus From Raleigh To Norfolk Local officers. Sheriff C. B. Roebuck and Chief of Police W. B. Daniel, as sisted in tKe arrest of Everett McLean, colored, who shot and killed B. H. Beasley, Southern Pines policeman, near Durham Tuesday night, at Tar boro Wednesday morning. The negro after his arrest, was returned to Dur ham and placed in a cell, where he killed himself by hanging later in the day. "freeing McLean to the Raleigh bus station, officers learned that he had bought a~ ticket to Norfolk. The bus had left Raleigh before the officers ar rived there, and they gave chase. Un acquainted with the bus routings, the Durham officers, four of them, went to Greenville. Officers there were called into conference, and local officers were advised to meet the Norfolk bus here. Going to the local station, Sheriff Roe buck and Chief Daniel learned that the man stopped in Tarboro, and they left immediately to take part in the search for him there. Near Robersonville, the local offi cers met the four from Durham and two more from Greenville and waved them back. Going to Tarboro, the group of law enforcers joined Tar boro police and located Everett in a hotel there. Everett had no gun at the time, but he did have $360 in cash. He was removed to the Durham Coun ty jail. According to the story told by Sher-t --off Roebuck and Chief Daniel, the Southern Pines officer was driving from Boydton, Va., to his home with McLean, McLean's wife and sister, and a negro man. They had been to the Virginia town in an effort to with draw charges in a case there charging the negro with-the attempted drown ing of his wife. About five miles out of Durham, McLean fired on the of ficer and then turned his gun on his wife. The car was wrecked and Mc- Lean's sister was killed in the crash, the fourth negro, Junius Austin, escap ing unhurt. The driver and other occupants of the Norfolk bus noticed Everett was acting peculiar, but thought nothing of it. Blood, from minor cut received when the car was wrecked the night before was found on the rear seat of the bus, where he rode from Raleigh to Tarboro, SAM T.

Watch the Label On Toor Papar As It Carriaa tha Data Whaa Yoor Subscription Expires ESTABLISHED 1898 I GARDNER GIVES PROPOSAL SOME CONSIDERATION a Large Delegations of Mer chants and Farmers Are Heard -■ ' • - Going before Governor O. Max (uirdner in Raleigh Wednesday, a del egation of farmers, business men, and egislators urged the chief executive to call a special session of the General Assembly, the group making the most mpressive showing that has been yet made for special legislation limiting j cotton and tobacco acreage' in North | Carolina. And it now looks as if the governor might call the legislators to nether, provided they pledge them- I selves to lay off the tobacco com panies. Apparently realizing that the governor would not call a session un jless he was assured no attack would .be made on the tobacco companies, those speaking at the delegation meet ing also advocated a pledge by the j legislators to consider only crop re duction legislation, expressing confi dence that such pledges would be forth coming. j Governor Gardner, who was obvious- Ily impressed by the earnestness of the delegations, most but not all of whose members came from eastern North Carolina, and by the apparent strength of sentinient in their coun ties, did not commit himself on the proposals, but told each delegation that he would give the matter most seri ous and careful consideration. The time merchants asked that a special session be preceded by a con ference between the Governors of | North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor gia, and Virginia, with such other rep resentatives from the States as might jbe selected, with a view to uniform legislation. Many Have Changed Ihe delegation of merchants was | headed by State Senator W. G. Clark. Jof Edgecombe, and Senators Baggett, of Harnett, and Lynch, of Robeson, and Representatives Robert Young, of Harnett, and Ruffin, of Bertie, all of whom advocated a special session. | However, much of the talking was done by the merchants in the morning and by the farmers in the afternoon, many of whom said they had form jerly opposed\a special session of the I legislature, but were now in favor of adopting the Texas law, which does 'not permit more than 30 per cenl. oi the cultivated land of any farmer to ,be permitted in any one soil-exhaust ing crpp. j Considerable stress was laid upon I the action QL other states and the pos [sible effect upon them of action by ■ North Carolina. Governor Gardner stressed the point that the laws en tirely prohibiting planting of cotton which were passed by Louisiana and South Carolina are null and void since jtlii refusal of Texas to pass such a law has made it impossible for the 75 per Jcent acreage, upon ,which those laws made contingent. Arkansas and Miss issippi have followed the Texas law while other states have not yet acted. Argument! Advanced I The chief arguments advanced at both the meetings were that the recent rise in the price of cotton in the face of government reports of a larger yield can only be attributed to legislation and the prospect of further legislation, that North Carolina would have to i make less actual reduction than any ! other state in order to conform to the I Texas law, that voluntary reduction 1 has-been tried and proved wholly ui}- j successful, and that a large majority lof the farmers desire the legislation. N. G. Bartlett, of Kinston, secretary |of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of j Commerce, who headed the delegation of farmers yesterday afternoon, said j that boards of commissioners in IS i counties had gone on record in favor 'of the legislation, and his delegation ' included several county commissioners. | 'Several farmers and merchants fiom this county went before the gov ! ernor and urged him to call a special 1 session. Those attending from this Icounty included J. G. Staton, D. R. Everett, and H. C. Norman.
