Broad River Farmers May Receive Damage To Crops And Land As Result Of Opening of Flood Gate At Lake Lure Dam. Rutherford News. The property owners along Broad river below Lake Lure dam, whr. suffered much damages to crops an;’, land as a result of opening the rood gates at the dam, may now proceed to file suits In the superior c urt of Rutherlord county. Per oii Jon to do this was given In an order signed by Federal District Y. Webb, at Charlotte i ..ay. However, the order pro , that these suits must be tr> s. Utcd on or before June 1, 1930. The Carolina Mountain Power company, the owner of Lake Lure, the dam property and power plant have been in the hands of federal receivers for some time. F. G. Pierce of Charlotte and N. C. Harris, of Rutherfordton, are the receivers ap pointed by the court in a foreclos ure proceeding Instituted in the early part of 1929, by the bondhold ers under the first mortgage; and by the terms of the order appoint ed receivers, all persons were en joined from Instituting any suits without first obtaining leave of the court. Consequently before the property owners below the dam could proceed. It becomes necessary to petition the federal court for permission. This petition was filed In January of this year. Attorneys representing the receivers and bondholders vigorously resisted the granting of the order, untU the at torney representing property own ers claiming damages pointed out that under the law of North Caro lina a mortgage on the property of a public service corporation does not exempt such property from ex ecution under a judgment for dam ages of this kind, and this being true the receivers could not well af ford to Ignore these claims. Attorney stover Poe Dunagan who filed the petition in behalf of Mr. John R. Washburn and others, and who represents about fifteen of the property owners sustaining damages, states that while the time limit was fixed as of June 1, he ex pects to have the suits filed within two or three weeks, and hopes to get some of the cases disposed of at the August civil term of court. He ajso stated that the Duke Power tympany, 1—see, alleged to have been operating the dam at the time of opening the flood gates, would be Included as a defendant in the suits. It will be recalled that In 1928 there was much concern about* the Bpsslblllty of the dam at Lake Lure Breaking. It appears that hi an ef fort to save the dam the flood .rates were opened and the lake drained. The dam was saved. However, the great volume of water released from the lake destroyed the crops on bot tom lands along the river for more than fifteen miles below the dam *hd thousands -upon thousands ol dollars worth of corn and other farm produce destroyed, as well as damaging some of the land. There was a similar damage In 1929, but the loss was not as great apparently as the previous year. At that time The News protested In behalf of the fanners. Trv Sar Wants Ads. Farmers Neerthv; Ra'n.

Washington. — Unemploymeiv doubi. ess has decreased in April During the first three months o this year the number of Jobless per ms did nothing but mount. Tim Is the fact shown by the govern •n nt’s own figures, despite persist ent optimistic assertions by gov eminent officials. Assuming that jobs are becomin widely available at last, It is now possible to look back upon try worst period of idleness and sur vey its extent and its Implications.

Miss Green Norman of Eriling Springs college spent the week end with her aunt Miss Hattie Norman Miss Mary Beth Warlick of High Point college spent the week end with her parents Mr. and Mrs. John T. Warlick. Many of the facts are being u.ci.„ out by the debate on the Wagner employment bills in the senate. There Is no assurance that any thing of permanent Imp ,i„ance will be done about unemployment In the near future, despite various orotmra'.s. But there has b i an Increadog nal-nal awareness both of the problem and Its tendency to more frequent recurrence. No Preparation Far It.

President Hoover and Secretary of Labor ra.:i differed by a mil lion or so in their public guesses at the number of unemployed—until Davis guc: ced a~ain to square with his chief. Eariy in March Mr. Hoo ver announced that employment 1 ad gradually Increased since early January—and a week later the hard cold figures and decimal points ot the bureau of labor statistics said that employment in February had decreased slightly as compared with January in manufacturing and the seven major groups of industries surveyed. On through March the ballyhoo chorus continued—conditions were alleged to be easing up and every thing was said to be much rosier. Well, the combined figures foi manufacturing and the seven other major industrial groups for the month of March showed a decrease in employment—meaning an in crease of unemployment—of 1 pe: cent as compared with February and a decrease in payrolls totals ol 1.2 per cent. The decrease in em ployment in manufacturing indus tries was 0.6 per cent with ai in crease of 0.1 per cent in payroll totals.

If you wonder h w much unem ployment there was last March as compared with March In 1929 you might look at the bureau's index figures. These show that for every 100 persons employed in nearly 13. 000 manufacturing plants in * 1926 there were 89.8 In March, 1930, 90.? in February and 90.2 in January - as compared with 98.6 for March 1929.
