in Farmville, and in particular from
K. A. Joyner, city clerk, who forj
several years has devoted much time |
and thought to various projects here.
MAYOR LEWIS' ADDRESS
Mr. Coan, other distinguished
guests, and fellow citizens, we are
indeed glad to have with us as our
guests today many public servants
of the state and nation. We feel
honored that they should come to
help us to dedicate our golf course?
it might well be a dedication of many
other government projects and rec-j
reactional. activities, as we have not
held any formal exercises heretofore;
I would like to review just for a
minute the accomplishments of the
past three years along the line of
public improvements; first we be
hold Farmville's mangiftcent swim
ming pool, built by CWA labor and
material as supplemented by about
$2,000 public subscription and ap
proximately $5,000 invested by the
Town through its governing officials,
but we don't have to make apologies
to anyone for our swimming pool.
Since the inauguration of relief la
bor, we have constructed some 2 1/2
miles of sidewalks which has im
proved the value of property and
helped beautify the Town as a
whole ? approximately $5,000 for
materials was paid for by citizens of
the town for this project; Then a
most wonderful project was under
taken and completed, namely, a con
crete culvert through 600 feet of an
open ditch right in the heart of
town at a cost of about $2,500 to
town and adjoining property owners;
another sanitary project was the
paving of a 20-foot alley back of a
whole block of stores, the material
being- paid for by the property own
ers and town as in case of paved
streets; we have undertaken and
completed several drainage projects
which have been of untold benefit to
the Town and its citizens; then one
day about a year ago, it was sug
gested that labor might be obtained
to construct a golf course if we had
the land, tools, etc., and we found
the greatest among these etc., to be
determination and willingness to co
operate?we needed $5,000, but could
not get it?the Town treasury was
unable to donate and felt that too
few of an entire population would
use the golf course to justify public
expenditures?so the town agreed to
go into the matter to secure a golf
course if those interested would con
tribute the necessary funds, so some
fifty or more people either paid or
arranged to pay $100 each, the ap
plication was filed and approved, land
asquired and work started; difficul-1
ties were many, but no one thought
of failure or quitting, it was merely
backing up for a fresh start and try
again; for three months it was too
wet to cut the ground, and by time
we got it cut, for 6 weeks is was to
dry to plant the grass seed, and then
when the grass did come up, it be
came too wet again to cut it and to
open the golf course on the day plan
ned, but we are here today, and no
one begrudges any effort or difficul
ty; we are all happy that we now
have a gilf course in reality.
In the near future within the Pe
W ? ? ? ?
| can Grove adjoining the swimming
I pool will be placed a complete set
of the finest playground equipment
that is made; the Town of Farm
ville would rather its young people
would work; but, if they can't find
work then they must be given whole
some playground facilities ? they
must be kept off the streets, out of
the alleys and in places where their
character is in danger; there will
also be two nice tennis courts that
will be kept in good repair and ready
for constant use?thus the circle is
almost completed?you will notice
that we lack one thing for a well
rounded recreational center?that is
a Community house?a place for
public entertainments, for the local
clubs to hold meetings, where a pub
lic gathering can be comfortably ac
commodated in the winter time.
Here and now, I want the citizens of
Farmville to point their community
ambitions to a nice community house;
and I want to ask that the WPA and
other officials here today view our
program in its entirety?and to as
sist us to round it out with a com
munity building if and when such a
thing is possible.
T '' oil tVlOCta
L^aaies anu ^cnucmcu uu v*??
things didn't just happen, nor did
one or two people bring it about; the
accomplishment of these things here
in Farmville typifies what has been I
done in these United States as a
whole?the Federal Government in
its new attitude toward humanity
has found it right and just to assist
the forgotten man to earn a livehood
for himself and his family; and it
has cooperated with the local city
and county governments to bring
about such good and valuable proj
ects as a town, or county needed for
the work, and the local governments
have called on their citizens to help
see that we all do our part; such a
program has brought about a situa
tion where every American has come
to realize that the happiness of one
depends on the happiness of others;
no man can live alone; no communi
ty can stand apart?and the federal
government has rightfully taken its
place as the leader and helper of all
other governmental units in provid
ing human needs for the unfortunate
and protecting the economic rights
of the fortunate.
Today we have with us, the State
Administrator of the Work Progress
Administration, who was at one time
Mayor of Winston-Salem, N, C. He
has made a record in Washington
that the State can be proud of; his
records shows that he has kept a
large number of men at work at a
small administrative cost?which was
exactly the idea of the WPA. Mr. J
Coan has come here today to as
sist us in dedication of our gorf j
course and will present same to the
Town of Farmville; I take great
pleasure in introducing to you Hen.
George W. Coan, Jr., State Adminis
trator of the Works Progress Ad
ministration.

Niece Slain In
AsheviUe Hotel
Pretty 19-Year-Old
Helen Clevenger Stab
bed and Shot After At
tack
Asheville, July 16.?Blonde Helen
Clevenger, 19-yead-old New York
University honor student, was shot
to death in her hotel room here early
today by an assailant who escaped
after mutilating her face with a
[sharp instrument and atempting to
I ravish her.
Asheville and Buncombe county
officers said tonight they were
without a definite clue to the slay
er, but they sought an unidentified
man who was reported to have
been seen at the door of the girl's
room about 1 a. m., when some
guests heard a woman's scream
over the noise of an electric storm.
Miss Clevenger, only child of Mr.
and Mrs. J. F. Slevenger of Great
Kills, Staten Island, N. Y., came
here two days ago for a vacation
trip with her uncle, Prof. W. *1..
Clevenger of North Carolina State
College at Raleigh.
From its position?face upw.ard
with lower legs and feet folded wi
der it?officers formed a theory that
the girl had been shot while on her
knees, pleading for her life.
A discharged 25-caliber shell was
found, but the instrument with
which the intruder had gashed Miss
Clevenger's face several times as
deep as three inches, was not locat
ed. Coroner George F. Baier said i1
could been a pair at scissors.
Hail Destroys
Much Tobacco
Farmers In Various Sec
tions of County Suffer
Heavy Losses
A hail strom which struct Pitt
county Wednesday night about 10
o'clock did much damage to tobacco
crops in various sections, but no
estimate as to the loss was available
from reports the city today.
W. H. Moore, who leases the
large Foreman farm south of Falk
land, said that on his farm at least
88 acres of the leaf was completely (
destroyed, and added that he had 1
other fields which suffered to a
great extent. The farm is located 1
at Bruce center in Falkland town
ship.
The planter declared that three '
separate clouds from different dir
rections provided hail. He said hail (
fell for more than one and a half 5
hours, and declared some of it was 1
as large as partridge eggs.
He added that tobacco on the 1
farms of Henry Pittman and Dr. 5
Jennis Morriill, bordering on his
place, was torn to pieces, but said 1
the storm did not hit the Cotton '
Dale farm. He estimated a plot two
t i ?
square miles was hit severe enough
to completely destroy the crops.
Other nearby farms were slightly 1
damaged, he said.
R. M. Manning of Belvoir, de- '
clared that a number of farmers in 1
his section suffered heavy losses J
from the storm. He said that his ^
crop was destroyed and added that (
tobacco was ruined or damaged on 1
the farms of S. M. Harris, W. R. *
Tyson. T. C. Whitley, W. J. Evcrette, ^
Jimmie Bryant, and on the Wiley "
place and Jesse Mayo farm.
He declared that it hailed for 59 f
minutes, rain falling for an addi- c
tional one hour and 40 minutes. c
Windows were broken out in the
section, the hail even breaking
through screens to reach the panes. (
"It was the most awful thing 1
ever saw," he said.
R. R. Bennett, county farm agent, I
began a tour of the county Thurs
day to investigate the situation and
advise farmers what crops to plant
where tobacco has been completely
destroyed.
The hail and wind storm struck a ]
section of Greenville township, but
was not destructive as in the Falk
land and Belvoir areas. ?

Soil Erosioi
Program Gets
New Allocation
? *r u'-; ji
North Carolina's Share
Of Three Million Dol
lars Will Be $156,600
Washington, July 14. ? President
Roosevelt today allocated $3,000,000
:o the Works Progress Administra
tion to continue the WPA nation
wide program of soil erosion, flood
:ontrol, forestation and develop
ment of recreational areas.
North Carolina's share of the fund
will be $156,600.
The allocation is made from the
funds of the Emergency Relief act
>f 1935.
At the same time this allocation
>f funds was announced, the WPA
said that, because of drought condi
:ions, many states which otherwise
would have received a smaller
amount would be given a larger
share of the $3,000,000
South Carolina, 28 counties of
which have been designated as
emergency drought areas by the
department of Agriculture, was
dloted $110,908.
Resettlement Administration offi
:ials today also turned their
lrought-relief activities more fully
>n the South as the situation in the
Northwest seemed to be well in hand
?nd the relief program going for
ward. A preliminary estimate of
'arm families in South Carolina's
18 drought counties, all of them in
he western portion of the state, who
would be eligible to receive sub
sistence grants under the program
>et the figure at about 15,000. These
grants, made for human subsistence
>nly, average in the neighborhood
>f $15 to $18 per month.
No North Carolina areas have
jeen designated as emergency
lrought areas as yet.
Liar Charged
To President
Father Coughlin At
tacks the President as
'Betrayer'
Cleveland, July 16. ? The Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin aligned himself
vith Dr. Francis E. Townsend today,
ind in an address to the Townsend
lational convention termed Presi
lent Roosevelt a "betrayer and a
iar."
The founder of the National Un
on for Social Justice told the two
lelegations "as far as the National
Jnion is concerned, no candidate
vhich it endorses for Congress can
support the great betrayer and liar,
franklin Roosevelt.
"He promised to drive the money
.'hangers from the temple but has
milt up the greatest public debt
:he nation has ever had," he said.
'Is that driving the money chang
ers from the temple?"
He said he was forced to "repudi
ate" the philosophy of Governor Al
VI. Landon, Republican nominee for
d resident.
A third party alliance bringing
:ogether Father Coughlin, Dr.
Townsend and the Rev. Gerald L.
K, Smith was formally announced
ifter a conference of the three lead
;rs.
The crusading Detroit priest said
soon after his arrival here to ad
iress the convention that they had
igreed to work to the same end.
"We will stand together against
this unholy trinity of Landon,
Roosevelt and Browder," Father
Coughlin said.
Coughlin heads the union for so
cial justice, Smith, share the wealth
organization, and Townsend the
$200 a month pension plan.
Townsend said Chairman James
A. Farley was "trying to throw
brickbats in our convention and
Smith asserted the Roosevelt admin
istration was a "settled plot to
communize the nation."

Govormr Replies

Will Not Pay Interest(
? On Interim Fund; Says
Law Unconstitutional
. Raleigh, July 16.?Declaring the
law in question to be unconstitution
al, Governor Ehringhaus made it
plain yesterday, in answer to a rap j
taken at him by the United Spanish
War Veterans cf the State, that he f
has no intention of paying to the j
organization the interest on the in
terim fund held by him as trustee. 1
Closing their convention in Ashe- i
ville, the veterans sharply criti
cized the Governor for "steadfastly ,
refusing to obey the mandate of the ^
General Assembly to pay interest ^
on the interim fund which was vot
ed for the North Carolina Depart
ment United Spanish War Vet- j
erans, by the General Assembly .
of 1933."

by Governor Glenn for the purpose j
of making payments in sepcific
amounts to specifically named vet
erans of the Spanish-American
War. Some of the money was never j
claimed and t ?e balance, in the .
neighborhood of $17,000, remains in j
the hands of the Governor, as c
trustee. From time to time, claims j
are still paid from it. r
The 1933 Legislature passed an
act directing the Governor to turn
over to the veterans' organization j
the accumulated interest on the j
fund.
"I have nothing to say about It
except what I've already said, pub
licly and to the veterans them- ^
selves," the Governor said yester
day. "The Attorney General informs
me that if I pay out that interest f
money, I then become personally
liable for the amount if future <
k.
claims are made. j
"He says the act is unconstitu- i
tional. I think that's a good enough t
answer to their demands. The Leg- t
islature was without authority, as
anybody can see, to appropriate the (
money that didn't belong to the
State; money that is merely held in
the custody of the Governor as
trustee. Why, they might as well or- ^
der you to pay the rent on your
house to an organization, or order ^
me to pay the interest on funds held
by me, individually, as a trustee for t
a private estate.'
The Governor said he was willing j
to go into the courts and have a
successor trustee appointed and t
turn the money over to him, but
that the veterans did not favor this t
course of action.

London, July 16. ? King Edward

"The damned fool."
That is what its King had to say

lad to say.
The King made his remark to his

vhen they returned to Buckingham
Palace after the incident.
Mahon, crippled, middle - aged,
slightly-bald journialist,, was jailed
in charges of possessing firearms
vith intent to kill. An Irishman
vith what he considered a griev
mce against British justice, he
jointed a revolver at His Majesty
it 12:21 o'clock this afternoon.
Newspapers and officials were un
ible to agree whether the assailant
vas correctly named George An
irew Mahon, George Andrew Mc
Wahon or Jerome Bannigan. He was
:alled Mahon for the most part and

AlcMahon also was known as
