Man Makes Wild Knife Attack In Home Near Here • -<s» One Victim In Hospital And Another Hus Fifty Stitches —— Said1 to have been intoxicated and apparently little realizing what, he was doing, Tom Scott, farmer, forced his way into the home of Charlie Mason at Ske warkey about 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning and launched a savage attack with a pocket knife on members of the Mason family and threatened others in an adjoining apartment. Knocking open the front door, Scott went into the adjoining apartment, attacked one of the oc cupants there with his fist and threatened others, officers said. Mason, hearing cries for help. A'ent across the hall, took Scott ay the arm and tried to lead him rut of the house. Yanking out his cnife, Scott sliced Mason apross -he face and directed another alow on the shoulder. Picking up i chair, Mason started working an Scott's head. During the mean ime, Mason’s daughter, Annie Ulyde Davis, widowed just a few fays ago by the death of her hus aand, Ananias Davis, started to aer father’s rescue and she was net with a knife blow across the itcmBch, one report stating that ] he knife went to the hollow and aared the intestines.

I refer to the current program to arouse the people of North Carolina into a mighty and united struggle against the conditions of poor health that exist over our state and for the mobilization of all our resources for the correction of those conditions. In all reverence, I say to you that if Jesus were on earth today, and living as a citizen of North Carolina, I believe he would be tremendously concerned about this thing that concerns so many of us. Moreover, I believe that he would not only put his blessing upon it but would also throw the weight and power of his energy and influence into it. For he would find it clearly congenial to his ministry of healing. I per sonally doubt if he would consid er it “North Carolina’s No. 1 Need”: though that is an excel lent and admirable slogan for our purposes. He would stil^ know that moral responsibility before God is and always will be North Carolina’s—and all men’s—No. 1 Need. But I believe he would be troubled over the fact that to day: there are 40 other states in which mothers have a better chance of surviving child-birth than in North Carolina; and 315 other states in which new-born babies have a better chance of reaching their second year than in North Carolina; and 47 other states where young men have a better chance of meeting the minimum standards of physical health required by an organiza tion like an army than in North Carolina; and 44 other states where a doctor’s care is more ac cessible to those who need it than in North Carolina, and 41 other states that have made more ade quate provision for the hospital :arc of its sick than North Caro lina. Yes I believe that were Jesus living here in North Carolina to iay, he would still look upon a iituafion like that and upon the people caught in it with a deep (Continued on page eight) lown Taking On Christmas Spirit ■ • ■ - The holiday atmosphere here, hreatened at one time by the ■oal strike, is gradually emerging ind tonight will assert itself in he approximately 1,000 vari-eol >rcd Christmas lights on the ' own’s principal business streets.

F. Still, Washington County chairman, who was absent at that time. Under the proposed system. Mr. Bailey declared, appointment o.f the nominees would be mathe matically determined according io a definite formula, based en tirely upon the population of each of the district counties. The formula would read: when number of the population of any one county, multiplied by the number of years since that coun ty last had a senator, is greater than the number of population of any other county, multiplied by the number of years since it last had a senator, then the county with the larger number is en titled to nominate a senator for the following two terms. Allow ances would be made, of course, for fluctuations in population fig ures. This, he asserted, would as sure an equity of representation among the seven county units, since the system would provide that each county, in turn, would have the right to designate the Democratic candidate for State Senator. Attorney Bailey, acting as secretary for the chairman, was delegated by them to make a full draft of the agreement embody ing the nominations formula, and has reported that the draft will be finished sometime during the latter part of this week. Upon its completion, mimeo graphed copies of the system will be forwarded to the chairmen of the seven Democratic committer's in tliis district, who will present it for approval or rejection by their respective groups at special meetings to be called for that pur pose. If all seven committees endorse the agreement with a majority vote, it will then be fil ed with the chairman of the State Democratic committee in Raleigh and will be binding, determining the rotation of nominees from and after the filing. A. H. Harris, chairman of the Pamlico committee, was elected by the group to preside over the meeting. Represented at the con ference were Washington, Mar tin, Hyde, Pamlico, Beaufort, and ryrell counties. The Dare county diairman was unable to attend .he meeting, but gave his vote jf consent to the agreement via elephone. Firemen Called Out Twice Here •—*— Local volunteer firemen were :alled out twice last week-end. rhursday evening, shortly after 1:00 o'clock, they were called to >ut out a fire in a stump hole on Vest Main Street in front of the Janford Roberson home.

In one nf the two the defendant was found not guilty. The jury, howr evi ■. after a more or less cut and dried fashion decided six divorce pleas and granted a judgment in another civil case. Although only two criminal eases were left up to the jury for decisions, cost of the service ran into the hundreds of dollars. The special venire called for the Ragland case cost approximately $300. and the service of the regu lar jurors represented a cost of approximately $240. No audit ha been made, but it s estin. hi d that the Ragland case ah tie cost right at $750. exclusive of special services rendered by patrolmen and transportation costs. According to Clerk of Court I, B. Wynne, the costs were iti mized about as follows: jury, $360: deli use counsel fee, $150; stenographer's fees, $100; special officer. >5; meals for jurors, $2,0, and incidental expenses, $100. Allowing the $150 fee for Rag lat i' 'lii, i counsel, the court did not specify whether that amount would cover the counsel cost for per looting the appeal to the supreme court. Reviewing the manner in which the tlo tv e,i a viihandled, the ek rk aid that fourteen of the de fendants pleaded guilty, four were mil pro; ad or dismissed, ami directed vt edicts were report id in three eases. Several other cast were continued, and defend ants in two eases failed to report when called during the term. Quite a few of the defendants facing the court received road terms, but just about all of them were placed on probation or had their sentences suspended. With no maximum si ntenced fixed for the crime, the judgment calling for not less than five and not mi ie than seven years in State’s Ih ison was thought by some to bo light ‘ in the ease charging Frank Belcher with manslaughter. liiiisi' $2‘{*M)7 For Junior Rwl Cross In the pri nt Junior Red Cross fund drive a total of $23!l 1)7 was taped, ihe chairman, Mrs. V.
