Described by Carolina Power & Light Company officials as one of the most severe and damaging rain and wind storms experienced in this territory in recent years, the gale of Sunday, Jan. 19th, which reach ed hurricane like proportions in havoc with lines and other trans mission equipment. In some areas, where the wind was most sereve the damage was so heavy as to threaten the serious crippling of some localities, created considerable the company’s service which was only maintained by heroic day and night efforts on the part of line forces. In a few instances, dam age was great as to interrupt ser vice temporarily, however, repairs were quickly made to prevent in convenience to those dependent up on electric service for lights and other uses. “Our lines were badly damaged by the storm,” declares P. L. Cashwell, District Manager of the Carolina Power & Light Co., “however, like all private public utility companies, we are constant ly prepared for such emergencies, as we are schooled in the idea that ‘service must go on regardless of the elements or other destructive forces,’ therefore, our line crews were on the job within a few min ntes after the first report of dam age. While many of our men were off duty when the storm came, they responded to the call and within a short time our full force was busily engaged in repairing the havoc wrought by the unexpected blow.” “‘As rapidly as the rain and wind caused damage, a crew of our men were on the scene to replace the harm. Only in very few instances was service interrupted for any length of time and, in these un usual cases, where the damage was to great to be remedied quickly, service was largely restored within a few hours time. It is impossible to estimate the actual cost of the damage,” states Mr. Cashwell, “but it will run into thousands of dollars ppara AND REASONABLE PRICES Funeral arrangements as made by us have all the elements of dignity, yet cost the family moderately little.

C. throughout our territory.” ' Few people realize the danger ous tedious work our line forces are called upon to perform during such emergencies” says Mr. Cash well, “and is only thhrough military like organization work that our forces can be quickly marshhalled and put into the field when such situations arise. Scores of our line men, under the leadership of cap able Foremen, worked 36 hours without stopping in their effort to correct the damage Jan. 19. This work was carried on under adverse conditions as repairs were made in the midst of the storm with cold rain and strong wind handicapping every move on so that the public might be served with a minimum of inconvenience. “In some sections, where our transmission lines run through low country, our men were forced to wade waist-deep to make repairs,” declares Mr. Cashwell, but this did not impede their efforts. One of our crews near Goldsboro was re norted to have actually had their clothing frozen stiff while working lender such conditions. While the majority of the people enjoyed a-* restful holiday and a good night’s sleep in their comforable homes, our ( men were battling the disagreeable elements to maintain the com-1 oany’s reputation for service and t these men deserve the highest praise.” Mr. Cashwell, as well as Mr. 1 Bryan, foreman of the Company line forces in this district, and his crew composed of Ray Jackson and Nelson Williams are to H? c'on-'] gratulated on the splendid public verity of the storm, electric service service rendered.

The best time to seed Lespedeza is during the month of February. Too many farmers neglect this im portant phase of farm management until it is too late to secure seed from the farmers in their commu nities or from the local merchants who supply Lespedeza seed. Lespedeza still offers a great nromise to all of the doubting Thomases who for various and sun dry reasons have not seeded Les pedeza on their farms in a crop ro tation with corn and wheat. Lespedeza still promises 100% in crease in corn yields and a consid erable increase in wheat yield if a crop is turned under every three years. Statistics show that in Stanley County where Lespedeza has been growing for 15 years that the per centage on the Relief Rolls was , only 10% of the farm population, I while it was 80% to 90% in a nearby I county where Lespedeza has not i been planted generally by the farm ers. j Person County farmers need to | sow 10,000 acres this year. Approxi mately 4000 acres were seeded in 1935. Let us make it 10,000 acres this year. —o SYLVIA SIDNEY REVEALS BREAK-UP OF MARRIAGE Hollywood.

Why do people come home from a hospital with bowels working like a well-regulated watch? The answer is simple, and it’s the answer to all your bowel worries if you will only realize it: many doctors and hospitals use a liquid laxative. If you knew what a doctor knows, you would use only the liquid form. A liquid can always be taken in gradually reduced doses. Reduced dosage is the secret of any real relief from constipation. ■ , Ask a doctor about this. Ask your druggist bow very popular liquid laxatives have become. They give the right kind of help, and right amount of help. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara both natural laxatives that can form no habit, even in children. So. try Syrup Pepsin. You just take regulated doses till Nature restores regularity. 21 MEN ON DEATH ROW AT PRISON IN RALEIGH Raleigh, Jan. 21 Twenty-one men, six short of the all-time rec ord, are on death row at central prison under sentence to die for York,” she said.
