Theodore Partnck, Jr., Delivers j Memorial Address. Congressman Warren Sends Fine Tribute. A memorial service to the memory of the hue Senator Wil liam S. Davenport was held in auditorium of Mackeys High School last Sunday afternoon ai a three o’clock, and was largely attended by people of the county. A most appropriate memorial address was delivered by Rev. Theodore Partrick, Jr. The ad dress was forcefully delivered and seemed to receive an im mediate response from the hearts of the audience who recog nized and appreciated the ef forts of the subject in obtaining such an efficient educational in stitution for the people of that section. Congressman Lindsay C. War ren, who was providentially ^hin dered from attending the ser vice, sent an expression of es teem which was read by Supt. Darden. A reproduction of this * express* ') fobows: "7 WILLIAM S. DAVENPORT Because of the high esteem in which I held him while he lived and of my deep respect for his memory., now that he is dead, it is a privilege for me to pa.' a brief tribute to the late W ilhan S. Davenport. My intimate acquaintance with him only extended over a period of eight years, beginning in 1917 and lasting up until his death It started as a Political friendship —it ripened into a personal one Both in 1917and again in 1919 e represented the 2nd. Senatorial District in the St»te Senate oi North Carolina and sat side by side. Mr. Davenport had not. been a member of that body for ten days before his true worth was recognized. He was appoint ed bv Lieut.-Governor Gardne* as chairman of the important committee on Agriculture, and in 19Jlr he again headed this c mmitte, an assignment that is always much sought after by " members of the Senate. He was a worker. He had the capacity and the faculty of knowing how to investigate and obtain all the facts in a matter. He was not haoty in decision but after he had considered and made up his mind as to the righteousness of a cause, he was unchangeable and stood four square and unafraid A legisla tive body is quick to size up both the merits and frailties of one of its fellow members, and their judgment is generally fair. Con fidence is the corner stone. Sen ator Davenport, by his rugged honesty, his sterling integrity, his unfailing loyalty and devot ion to duty, his well balanced in tellect and his lofty character made his impress upon his asso ciates, and he was generally con sidered as one of the most val uable men that sat in the Sen ate of North Carolina. No great piece of legislation bears his name. He was not an orator. There was nothing of the ahowy or spectacular in him. He was modest and unassuming, but he was wise wise in council ond d'c Ay ii u- in .n 1 fe s-ught his advice hi d fo lowedi. H* vas imbu d wish a passionate desire to serve his c >unt;y and s ate? The worthwhile things appealed to him. { was a progressive c inservative. The uplift of agri cuhure and the cause o£ educa tion were dear to his heart. He believed that this boasted civili za ion of ours could only exist hrough an educated stare He wanted to see opportunities equ aliped and the rural chdd also ■riven its chance, and he devoted nis tin.-', his influence and hi mergy in bringing about these results. It is most fitting that the peo pie of Washington County should perpetuate his name bv associat ing it with the school that h* l tbored to establish What great er monument could a man have Mir.n t* be anshritvd in the i arts cf hi fello vm n, nave In-1.J u.. to fu u e generat ions his unflinching devotion ><> public serv e-?

Washington.—A plan of inspection for Porto Rican fruits and vegetables to prevent the importation into con tinental United States of injurious in jects, including the West Indian fruit ,iy and the bean pod borer, has been lecided upon by the federal horticul ;ural board. A quarantine has been ordered ef fective July 1 prohibiting entry of cer tain fruits and vegetables from Porto Rico, but grapefruit, oranges and other citrus fruits, pineapples, bananas, ofaintains, avocadoes, dasheens and >nions, may enter under certification, jased on field and packing house in spection by representatives of the , board in Porto Rico. Germany’s Payments. Berlin.—Germany's reparations pay ments through the office of the agent general totalled 100,100,000 marks dur- , Tng May. Of this France received 42,- I 300,000 marks, chiefly in deliveries of goal coke, lignite and chemicals. Eng land received 10,800,000 marks of which 7,800 marks were credited to payments under the recovery act. Other sums were devoted to vote var ious payments under the Dawes plan. Mine Gas Blast Claims 17 Men. Sturgis, Ky.—Five bodies, three of iheffc unidentified, had been found in the workings of the explosion-wrecked mine No. 9 of the Kentucky Coal Min ing company. All of the known vic tims were negroes. Twelve men re main in the mine and are all believed lead. A pocket of gas, ignited by a miner’s lamp, is believed to have caused the disaster. Another rescue crew of picked men was being organized to reenter the mine to assist in the search for other victims. Mud in some places was found a foot and a half deep. 24 More Died of Heat. Philadelphia. — Although the heat wave of last week has ended, its ac- j aumulataive effects were strong enough to cause 24 deaths, records at the coroner’s office showed a total of 136 persons have died in this city so far as result of the intense heat, j Phirty-five unidentified bodies remain ed in the city morgue. While the temperature was consid erable lower than it has been for sev eral days, weather bureau officials an nounced a probable return of the hot ppelL . CAR LOADINGS CONTINUE TO BREAK ALL RECORDS FOR THE YEAR. New York.—Emerging from a period of rather restricted spring activity business has entered upon its summer cycle With conditions in most lines of industry generally described as fair. Conflicts of opinion have developed to what the hot weather season i lolds in store. Some lines of trade, I aotably the textile industry, have >een promise of improvement, others, including motor manufacturers, feel that the peak of their trade has passed. Possibilities of a drastic recession in ousiness which hav^j^en more or lest? lommon in recent- ySsrs, are consider jd remote. The extremely moderate jxpasion in trade activity this year and the absence of speculative ex cesses are held to be adequate ' safe ?ards against sudden reactions. The mpression prevails in the financial .centers that business will continue its iricess of readjustment but maintain m even keel, with'a fairly high aver age of operations. The latest surveys of the steel situa t-on offered encouragement to this view. The fact that for three weeks :he country’s steel production had acid close to 70 per cent of capacity, the weekly review explained, might be taken as the measure of a nearly stab ilized market in contrast to the abrupt decline in operations a year ago. An ther decrease in the United States Steel c. rpovation’s unfilled tonnage, is idmittedly in prospect when the May •epiirt is published this week, but the anticipated decline so far lias 'bee as oned little concern. Hopes that foreign developments .ould speed up Europe’s recovery were not fully realized. With the es tablishment of a $50,000,000 exchange stabilization credit for the lira, it was felt that Italy had taken a long step toward a return to a gold basis and ultimate revaluation of the cur rency and had strengthened her posi tion for probable debt-funding nego tiations. France, however, was threat ened with another linancial crisis as the franc dropped to the lowest level in more than a year and Germany was warned by the allies that she had fail ed to live up to all the provisions of the peace treaty. The reorganization program out lined for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad Lot week provided a topic of obsorbiug interest for in vestment mircles. Plaus for overhaul ing the road's financial structure, Wall street generally agreed were es sentially sound and should permit an early erminotion of the receivership. ’nsure 60,000 Railroaders. Louisville, Ky.—Group insurance on the lives of more than 60,000 employes of three railroads, for a total cover age of approximately $150,000,000, was announced by the Louisville & Xash ville railroad. The other roads interested are the .Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis and the Louisville, Henderson & St. Louis. The policy will become effec tive July 1, or upon acceptance by 75 per cent of the workers. All employes of the railroads are in cluded in the insurance arrangement, the amount of protection being based upon monilily earnings. The lowest premium will be for $1,000 and the Maximum for $3,000, with additional i accident benefits. The insurance will be issued upon j a contributory basis, the road an- 1 nounced, the employee paying a uni- ; form sum to the premium cost, while • the companies will bear the remain- ; ing expenses.

There are some indicati appointment in Polish and ( z Slovakian circles that the r untr do not specifically enter the uamain of the proposed pact. It is understood that Great Britain 1 agrees to come to the support of F*rance with her entire mil and air forces in case France i. tacked or in case of any aapv**ic.i across tiie Rhine district. i iiis n stitutes an elaboration of an obliga tion already contained in the Ver-ail Jcs treaty whereby the allh regard as a hostile act any infringe meat of the demilitarized zone he- j tween France and Germany.
