Blow On Head Not Sufficient Bowling Death - From Exposure Hillsboro.—The death of Wesley j Lewis Bowling, 20-year-old Hills- | boro youth whose body was found i on Christmas night face down- j ward by the side of the road near j the Negro ball park, has been at- i tributed officially, to exposure, which was brought about by other factors. The autopsy performed by Dr. J. U. Gunter, pathologist, and Dr. Haywood M. Taylor, toxicol ogist, of Watts Hospital, indicated he suffered a blow on the head and traces of ethyl alcohol and barbituric acid were found in the youth’s body.., Thege latter, how ever, were in small amounts and of ‘‘no significance as regards the cause of death,” Dr. Taylor re ported. Nor was the blow on the head, which probably caused un consciousness sufficient within it self to cadse death. The reports stated that “the blow by a blunt object could have caused unconsciouiriess and hav ing been made uncdrigcious in this way, he perhaps remained uncon scious longer than otherwise be cause of the traces of alcohol and barbituric acid' derivative in the System. In such a state he was popwerless to save himself from the elements which finally caused his death. ” Two negro boys, Frank Wells and Robert McBroom, from whom some of Bowling's belongings, were later taken, are still being held on open charges in connec tion with the death. County’s Average Weekly Wage Climbs 154 Per Cent During Period 1940-47; Average Employment Jumps 50 Per Cent Raleigh.—Orange County’s av erage employment increased 50.9 per cent from 1940 to 1947 and the average weekly wage of its citi zens lumped 154.2 per cent during the same period, according to fig ures released this week by the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina. The average employment was 1,542 in 1940, climbing to 2,327 by 1947. The county’s average week ly wage at the beginning of the decade was $13.80, moving to $35.09 by the end of 1947.

F. Campbell, director of the Bureau of Research and Statistics, and announced by Hen ry E. Kendall, Employment Se curity^Commission chairman. Covered employment increased in that period from 474,872 work ers to 622,636 workers and all non-agricultural workers increased from 635,000 to an estimated 88J2, 000.' Meanwhile, agricultural em pl»yment decreased from 409,000 in 1940 to en estimated -380,000- in 1947. The net increase of about 120,000 covered workers and 220, 000 workers in non-agricultural work, coupled with the excess of births over deaths from 1940 to 1947, or 534,000, makes it hard to reconcile these figures with the government estimate as of July, i947, that the population of "North Carolina had increased only 93,000, or 2.6 per cent, sihce 1940. The mountain region of the state, 25 counties, showed the greatest covered employment increase in the seven years, 42.07 per cent, considerably higher than the state average of 31.12 per cent, but the wage increases in this region in creased to an average of only 111.19 per cent, as compared with the state average of 122.71 percent. The Piedmont plateau, embrac ing 36 counties, manufacturing center of the state,-made a smaller relative gain in amount of employ ment than the other two areas, 30.62 per cent, in the seven years, but showed the greatest gain in average wages, 124.75 per cent, from $17.70 in 1940 to $39.74 in 1947. The Coastal Plain area, with 39 counties, increased its average em ployment by 33.47 per cent in the seven years, greater than the. state See WAGES, Page 8 Complete plans for the annual banquet for the Occoneechee area council have been announced by R.

Bivins Here Hillsboro.—A 10-times winner to an elective office Is a rarity in our democratic form of govern ment and 20 years’ service in a county office, subject to the whims and^ foibles of the general public; is an'aahievement notnften real ized. But of such accomplishments is the record of Grover G. Bivins, whose retirement last month as County treasuer has already been recorded as an item of news. His retirement was made possible by the abolition of the office by the 1947 legislature, an act which had his concurrence and obviously made easier his decision to retire from active office holding. His retirement was the occasion for appropriate ceremonies by his county courthouse associates, of ficials and employees, who pre sented him with a handsome rose wood walking cane and a gold key, engraved with the words, Orange County Courthouse. ' A resident of Hillsboro for moat of his life, Mr. Bivins took office for the first time in 1928 and was elected again in each succeeding election through that of 1948. A man of infectious good humor, stories of his jolly outlook and GROVER G. BIVINS whimsy still abound am on* courthouse officials.
