Automobile License Tags To Be Cheaper This Year Raleigh, Nov. 20.—The new 1936 automobile license plates will be cheaper when they go on sale De cember 15 than in many years, since the 1935 general assembly changed the base rate for licensing passenger cars from 55 cents per 100 pounds to 40 cents per 100 pounds and the minimum price from $12.50 to $8 for a set of plates. A letter informing the car owners of the state of this change in license costs is enclosed with each application card which will be mailed to every registered car owner before December 15.

McLaughlin 20-Plane Squadron Attacks 15,000 Black Troops On Northern Front Asmara, Eritrea/ Nov. 19. A squadron of Italian bombers killed about 2,000 Ethiopians, Fascist of ficial reports said today, in a strange pitched battle between air and land forces on the northern front. The native warriors replied to the bombs and machine-gun fire from the “desperate” squadron of Count Galeazzo Ciano, son-in-law of Pre meir Mussolini, with anti-aircraft gun and rifle fire which forced down Ciano’s and another plane. Count Ciano emerged unscathed from the battle just south of Makale yesterday, as did II Duce’s two sol dier sons, Vittorio and Bruno, but one Italian mechanic was wounded seriously. The 20-plane squadron made a double attack on a great encampment ‘ of about 15,000 Ethiopians scouted l out ahead of the Italian front lines at Makale, official reports said, and dispersed the entire force. The operation was described by Italian authorities as the most im portant aerial encounter since the great war. Hundreds of the enemy lay dead in 1 the narrow valley of Mai Meseic aft er the conflict, the Italian officials said. Describing the original attack on the Ethiopian camp, Count Ciano himself said: “We saw the Ethiopians scatter fast, but we got hundreds of them before they coud take shelter, probably we got more than 1,000 of them.” The count, his oiltank pierced by an Ethiopian bullet, turned back to Makale after giving the signal for the second assault, and official re ports said the total of enemy dead in the two hour-conflict was around 2,000.

Carrie Baum dreamed of wealth that she knew she would never permit herself to enjoy. And so Carrie Baum denied herself youth that she might have what to her was wealth. She denied her self happiness. And finally she denied herself life itself. The coroner’s jury that inves tigated her sudden death found that she died because she would not spend money for a doctor. Yet in her room, police found | a bank book with deposits of 1 34,967.35. Quarters wrapped in newspapers, dimes hidden in the patent medicine bottles from which she tried to treat herself for cirrho sis of the liver, and packages of $1 bills added $2lO more to her wealth. Working as a housemaid. Miss Baum had saved the money from her meager earnings over the fifty-five years of her life. Miss Baum’s hoard will be put to good use dentistry for her Sister, Mrs. Phenie Kohom, ! and the suit Mrs. Kohorn’s husband needs. The rest will stay in the bank. j LOCAL MARKET j {COTTON 12c pound ! | WHEAT f 1.10 fcusnel j | CORN 60c bushel | EGGS 33 & 35c dozen PRICE: FIVE CENTS SIO,OOO WILL BE PAID FOR LOT BY U.S. GOVERNMENT Work to Begin at Once Draw ing Plans For New Fed eral Building Lincolnton’s new post office build ing will be located on the It e va cant lot on East Main stre . iwned fcy the C.

Up until the announce made, Lincolnton eitizet tain that the new post be located either on the site at the corner of J Poplar street or on t on West Main sti across the street from tne r irsl Presbyterian church. The Times was informed, however, that the Childs homesite was deemed too small ir ai ea for the postoffice site. Postal authorities last week en deavored to secure a reduction in th? option bid of the lot which has been selected, but the Waeiiuvi.i jixnk A Trust Co., which is receiver tor the Childs estate, refused to lower the price on this property. The postal authorities then accepted the lot at the SIO,OOO price. The Times was informed recently by postal inspectors who came to Lincolnton to view possible sites for the new building that separate plans are drawn for each post office the government builds. They said that after the lot was selected, engineers and architects would come here and look over the site and then return to Washington to draw the plans. It is expected that the draftsmen will come to Lincolnton at an early date to inspect the site. After plans and specifications are drawn and approved bids will be ask ed for actual construction of the building. All government buildings are constructed by private contrac tors. It is understood that after a construction bid has been awarded the contractor has 250 calendar days tc complete a post office building. Copperhead Snake Is Slain By Laying Hen Charleston, Ark., Nov. 19. Mrs. John Laws has a hen that must feel the limitation of her sex—the barn yard matron has something to crow about. Hearing a commotion in the hen house, Mrs. Laws investigated just in time to see the Rhode Island red giving the final vicious pecks to a dying copperhead snake. The reptile apparently interrupted the ben’s egg production. Diplomacy is the graceful art of making other people think they know more than you do. A kiss makes a girl lose her head and a man his freedom.
