SIR MALCOLM CAMPBELL DRIVES
SJOCK HUDSON SEDAN TO NEW
-- RECORDS AT DAYTON A BEACH
Seven new official stock Car rec
?
ords were established on the Day
I -
tona Beach sands last Monday when
Sir Malcolm Campbell, driving &
Hudson sedan, fully equipped Stock
model, broke toe previous flying
start marks form one to five miles
? . .
land one to ten kilometers. Softness
Eof the beach cut at least two miles
an hour from toe new record,' Sir
Malcolm stated, but the _ attempt
could not be delayed for more favor
abl conditions on account of pre
parations for his world speed trials
In toe Bluebird. Beach conditions
made the stock car runs even more
testa of ruggedneas than of speed, it
was stated.
Shortly after toe famous Britisher
set the new speed marks, Buddy
Marr, of Detriot, took the same Hud
son sedan on the Daytona course tor
new stock car records for this mOe
from standing start and for both the
kilometer and mile in aecond gear.
These two latter testiin whicb Harr
sent the sedan over a measured mile
in second gear at the phenomenal
speed of 70 miles per hour, was con
sidered toe most punishing of to*
entire series. It shattered toe previ
ous record by more than 7 miles per
hour.
. . Sir Malcolm was enthusiastic over
the Hudson'a performance starting
***** . . Sr *~S, M
start was due to the quick shifting
Ijigeomplished by the "Electric Hand,"
according to Buddy Marr. "Fast'
shifting," he stated, "is certainly of
the greatest importance in covering
a mile from standing start in 62
seconds."
The several records established by
the Hudson stock model were: Fly
ing start mile, 88.2028 m.p.h.; flying
start kilometer, 88.207 nupJu; flying
start five kilometers, 88.105
flying start five miles, 88,051 m.p.h.;
standing start one mile, 68.252 m.p.
h.; flying start one kilometer in see
ond gear, 70.319 m.pJi.; flying start
mile in second gear, 69.224 m.p.h.
Eveepting only the latter ? mark,
which was seven miles an hour faster
than the previous record, all of the
new marks bettered the, existing
ones by approximately two utiles an
hour.
The runs were over the saipe
course and with the same elaborate
timing device that!- Sir Malcolm *511
use for his runs with the Bluebird.;
-The marks ate official, the tests
having beep supervised bft the AAA.

UPS AND DOWNS ? The Mc
Donald-Lumpkin anti-sales tax plan
to tax coiporations more, tax divi
dends from all corporation stocks
and levy a tax of from $5 "to $600
on all individual incomes above
$1000 per year rises and falls in
popularity like a thermometer. i^jrt
didn't have much visible support in
the early days of the present Legis
lature, then its stock rose as the
two sponsors explained its workings
and estimated its revenue yield. It
took a drop when the lobbists had
their day in court before the finance
committee. But merchants came to
the rescue and boosted the proposals
with their endorsement It hasn't
been adopted yet and you can find
plenty of prognosticators that it will
not become law. On the other hand,
the McDonald-Lumpkin bloc Is still
hopeful and working industriously.
______ i
SPEAKER?The grapevine reports j
renewed rumors that Representative j
R, Gregg Cherry, of Gaston, Chair- j
man of the House Finance Commit-j
tee, wiU be a candidate for Speaker j
next session. Everybody agrees j
that be is doing his best to make a
record for speed on the money bill
but sales tax opponents feel that the
matter of a month or so is not so
important if they can get out from
under the tax for the next two years.
They are making it tough for Mr.
Cherry's political aspirations and he
shows no little irritation in commit
tee at times. That isn't calculated
to aid his chances in Legislative
politics.
WORRIED?Senator W. P. Hor-|
ton, of Chatham, is worried about
the State forcing parents to Bend
their children to school in busses
that-grand juries say are unsafe and
then refusing to pay expenses in
cases of death or injury. He has in
troduced a bill to require the State
to pay up to $600 damages in school
bus accidents. From all indications
at present his bill will pass but it
may be amended to cover only actual
expenses and with maximum of
minimum amounts'not mentioned,
MUiD-HOLES?It looks like you
boys and girls living off the con
crete may get your roads and bridges
repaired pretty soon. The General
Assembly has made a special im
mediate appropriation of $3,000,000
for that purpose. A lot of folks are
still- hanging around the Capital hop
ing to get a slice of your gasoline
tax for this, that and the other and
nothing but a Btiff fight and con
stant virgil is going to prevent a
raid on highway funds before the
Legislature adjourns. The highway
department could do better if it
didn't have to devote so much time
dealing with propaganda dished out
by those who would divert road
taxes.
BIG SCRAP?The public school
fight will be just half over when the
biennial appropriation is agreed
upon. The school machinery bill,
which is the rules and regulations of
the State system, must be drafted
and it is already apparent from
many individual bills introduced that
considerable liberalization of the
present law is going to demand. The
school forces want the question of
local supplements arranged differ
ently form the present law which
requires local elections. So far these
elections have been so well for the
the school folks.
1; TRANSPORTATION?-Some thing
else that may happen to your gas
tax has been mentioned more than
once in the Legislature. There ap
pears to be some sentiment for plac
ing transportation of school children
PO the back of the State Highway
apt! Public Works Division. High
way officials say this would be ex
pensive and would just about wreck
the organisation they have left un
der : the hand-to-mouth appropria
tion of their own money by the last
General Assembly.
. i ,
|j$HEAP?B BOOKS?The bill to
establish a State system of renting
public school books at nominal rates
hps considerable support in the GeeK I
eral Assembly and Governor Ehring
haus has wished it God speed but it
will have its troubles before it ever
becomes ? law. Representatives of
book publishing, houses, which stand
t? ilose business by 1 recital system,
are in Raleigh for some purpose.
Astute observers say they are op
posed to the bok rental bill You.
might inq^- of^.ihe lobbists thei*
business the Capital City. They
have been very successful in past
?
ANTT-SALES TAX ? The bloc
headed by Representative Ralph Mc
Donald, of Forsyth, and Representa
tive Lumplrin, of Franklin, will not
cease its. fight , on the^geahral sales
until the biennial revenue bill be
AA?HA Litn TUavt 1- - . -. J1 "r
come tew. Thoy pten to-carry their
fight to the floor of House .and
Senate where they have no little
| strength. Leaders of the Ehring
haus administration still avow the
sales tax is necessary to properly
support schools and other essential
State services and predict it will be
reenacted.
I ? ? !?!??? I
LIQUOR?Opinion among many
legislative leaders is that legal liquor
has little chance of approval by the
present General Assembly. Some
measure calling a referendum on the
subject may get by but the odds at
present are against even that sort
of a bill. Too many members from
counties that votes overwhelmingly
dry in the repeal election of 19S3 and
the lawmakers still interpret that*
in most cases^ as a dry mandate and
those entertaining - future political
aspirations are not so hot for kick
ing mandates over board.
CREDIT?When the first hearing?
on increasing the price of tobacco
were held in Washington back in
1933 Governor Ehringhaus, Con
gressmen Warren, Hancock and the
late Edward W. Pou were present
with farmers, warehousemen and
federal officials. Since that time
the tobacco program has become a
practical political proposition and
recent hearings have been attended
almost one hundred per cent , by the
North Carolina delegation in Con
gress. The old band-wagon riae,
you know.
-?^DIVIDENDS?One thing the Mcr
Donald-Lumpkin bloc has proposed
is catching favor with the General
Assembly and has wide popular ap
peal. It would pot dividends from
dotoiestic corporations in the same
class with dividends of foreign cor
porations and tax them six per cent
straight. Tbtot may not* pass but it
is propobable that domestic divi
dends may be pot in the same pot
with ail other income and taxed at
the graduated income tax late with
the same exemptions allowed. A big
fight is being waged against the
proposal but the. Legislature hasn't
adjourned yet.
- ?'"?? ????!'.:' 'j
GOVERNOR?As the General As.
sembly has waxed warm speculation
on probable candidates for Governor
on the Democratic ticket next spring
has waited. It is generally accepted
Raleigh, hoover, that Shelby's sil
ver-tongued Clyde R, Hoey and Lieu
tenant Governor Graham will make
the race.. Congressman R. L. Dough
ton is a more uncertain Qusr/dty and
some politicians predict that former
Lieutenant Governor & Fountain

Large Number Attend
IRaleigfr Meeting
Greenville, Feb, 20.?Numbers of
Greenville and Pitt County tobacco
growers and others interested in the
industry returned late yesterday aft
ernoon and last night front Raleigh
where they went to hear Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace and
J. B. Hutson chief of the tobacco
section of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, dusciss the to
bacco outlook during the cooli^ rea
son. ?'
After hearing Secretary Wallace;
declare that the administration did
not plan to change its rulings,falling
for increased tobacco allotments this
season, the gathering voted to ."go
along# with the administration in
its efforts to reach parity prices, pro
viding a new sign-up is made next
year. ? i
While the decision proved disap
pointing to those who were holding
out for allotments similar to those
last year, others were well pleased
with the action and returned home
prepared to abide by the govern
ment's program 100 per cent. *
It was argued by opponents of
higher acreage that it- would bring I
about lower prices during the forth
coming season and accompanying;
collapse of the economic situation,!
while proponements did not see
where such a great change would
be noticed,
A motion against increased acre
age presented at the meeting was
tabled after considerable discussion.
Much interest was-centered around
the decision in this county by rea
son of the fact that tobacco is the
{principal crop and the price situation
means either prosperity or depres
sion. ? V'
The farm department and the lo
cal control committee recently voted,
to stand by the government as oth
ers declared that higher acreage
! would mean placing the farmer back
in the hole from which he has just
emerged after years of poverty and
privation.

Curator Davis Runs In
to Question of Owner
ship of tiie 111-Pound
Specimen
Raleigh, Feb. 26.?Who owns a
I meteorite ??the man who finds it, J
I the one who digs it op, the man who I
[rents the land or the owner of theI
Iland on which it falls?
Meteorite, like stray kittens, just]
I happen. Bat once they happen, these I
I weighty bits of celestial schrapnelj
I have a big sale value to scientists I
I and curio-collectors.
Parry Davie, curator of the State I
Museum, was confronted with the I
problem of who owns a meteorite,!
when he went to buy the latest and I
second largest of his collection.
C. P. Brady, a fanner who lives]
I two end a half miles from Farm-J
Iville, went oat to cat his cornstalks]
the other day and found in his corn-]
field a large hole about three and a
half feet deep. I
While he was away in town, some |
neighbors dug into the hole and]
pulled out a 111-pound meteorite. ]
|The land belonged to one man who!
sub-leased it to a second man, who ]
I in turn had rented it to Mr. -Brady.]
Courts in Iowa and Illinois have]
held that meteorites, being an acre- ]
tion to the earth, belong to the land]
on which they fall, according to I
John Duncan, who looked up the!
law for Mr. Davis.
In this instance, the landowner!
authorized the tenant, Mr. Brady, |
to sell the meteorite for what he!
could get and Mr. Davis bought itj
I for the State Museum.
Finding- this meteorite bears oat
Mr. Davis' theory that the meteor
which flashed across the North
Carolina sky, from West to East, on
December 2 exploded in mid-air
somewhere over Pitt county.
Mr. Davis is confident that the
111-pound meteorite is a part of
the same one, weighing 13 pounds,
which was du g up by the children
of Robert Wainright, two miles from
the Brady farm.
A little more than twice the size
of a man's head, the Brady mete
orite weighs 111 pounds and in the
museum collection is second in size
only to the 160-pound specimen
which fell in Randolph county in
1922 and was acquired by Mr. Davis
in 1080.?News & Observer.
NOTE:?The meteorite in question
fell on the farm of Mrs. A. C. Monk
near here.

Farmville To Have
New Warehouse
One of the most important an
nouneements of a business nature to
be made for the some time in this
section, is that a new tobacco ware
house is to be built here in the early
springy plans for which are now un
derway for the construction of a
modern building of huge proportions
oh South Main street, on the site of
