Youth Is Killed When Auto Falls And Crushes Head ruiiciai ouituaj * ui .viAuii ' Sunday School Officers Kill ed Friday. Nixton Baxter, 19 'ear old son of Mr. and Mrs. Car! Baxter who live one mile east, of Fallston, was Instantly killed Friday morning about 11 o'clock when the hoisted auto on which he was working, fell on his head and crushed his skull. Young Baxter was working on the motor of his car at his home and it appeared, had taken every pre caution. The front wheels of the car had been hoisted off the ground by a rope and tackle and to make doubly sure of safety, he had un derpinned the front with blocks 01 wood: to give him plenty of room to crawl under the front of the motor and work. When he had put the engine back into place he call ed his father to get in the car and try out the motor. The young man lay beneath the car with his head propped up with a block of wood The hook to the heist broke and the car fell from its props, precipitating the front axle on his head. Had his head not been pil lowed up, the height of the wheels would have kept the axle from striking him in the forehead. How ever, his head was crushed between the axle and the block of wood on which his head was pillowed. He died instantly. Young Baxter was graduated1 from Fallston High school last yeai and was considered an exception ally bright and likable youngster ■ He was secretary-treasurer of the Friendship M. P. Church at Fall ston. His parents and several bro thers and sisters survive. Funeral services were conducted Sunday morning at 11 o’clock at Friendship church at Fallston by Rev. A. D.

(Star News Bureau) Raleigh, July 31.—Governor fch ringhaus has issued a proclamation to the people of North Carolina asking them to cooperate whole heartedly with President Roo’evelt’s industrial recovery plan, which reads as follows: “It is my understanding that the President is mailing today to all parts of the Union blanket code which has been adopted in connec tion with his efforts toward indus trial recovery In the nation, with the suggestion that it become effec tive August 1st. In this connection I desire to call upon the people of North Carolina tn general and in dustry in particular to take steps for an effective and prompt co operation with the President in hr efforts toward the rehabilitation ol the Nation and recovery of an in- I dust dal prosperity. 1 “I am sure that all employer will < read carefully this appeal and ex- ' erase themselves to conform, so far 1 as possible, in both letter and spirit, ( with the suggestions which it con- 1 tains. With the Nation struggling 1 in a great crisis and without re-! ga;d to trivial disagreements, it is i manifestly the duty of all citizens' j at this time to lay these aside anc'1 present a united front in the fight! i to bring about the recovery toward! which we have set our hearts and 1 our hopes and our best energies. I "The appeal which .s here made ’ is based not merely rpon what would seem to be the dictates of < good business and sound policj, but l upon toe larger suggestions of I patriotism and humanity.

"We feel that It is our duty to state through your paper that the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation lr an agency for the relief of the home owners not only of Cleveland coun ty, but of the nation at large and the consequent responsibility is greater than that of usual matters of this nature. We are charged with the administration of the much needed relief provided by congress at the suggestion of President Roos evelt for many distressed home own ers. Our people need relief and en couragement in thier struggles to save their homes and this agency will lend every possible effort to promptly and efficiently carry our the purpose for which this great corporation has been created.

Attorney Ernest A Gardner. Shelby barrister and Cleveland ounty representative in the last egislature, may be a candidate for he Democratic nomination to Con :ress in this district in the next irimary. Reports that the Shelby man night become a candidate have «en going the rounds of inner poli ical circles for some time, but to lay his friends said a definite move night be near. Mr. Gardner has lothing definite to say about the lossibility himself other than that I have been urged to announce by epresentatives .of several factions md groups." The present congressman, Major l. L. Bulwinkle of Gastonia, and ittorneys Hamilton Jones and Joe irv^n, both of Charlotte, are already onsidered as certain candidates and he Gardner entry would assure at east four contestants. Supporters of the Shelby man loint out that with two candidates plitting the Mecklenburg vote and .lajor Bulwinkle topping the vote if his home county of Gastonia, Mr. Gardner would have an excellent hanoe to win , carrying his home ounty and getting a fair split of he vote in other neighboring ooun ies of the district. The Cleveland representative was me of the leaders in the last gen ral assembly who opposed the ales tax. In fact, he was one of nom Bowie’s chief lieutenants In he Bowie bloc which fought for igid economy instead of a sales tax ir any other nex tax. For this eason. his supporters point out, le would in all probability have the b tut mtivuniito \ja u»*v listrict, and others opposed to the ales tax. As an active member of he organization of Young Demo rats he would in all probability traw ttifeir. support in this count}' nd others of the district. The son f a farmer and reared on the farm t is argued that he would draw a' ood portion of the farm vote, liter graduating at Wake Forest Ir. Gardner practiced law in Gas on county before returning to his ome county and made numerous onneetions in the district which roukl be of value in a district con est. Just what proportions the boom ng of his candidacy may attain ‘ emains to be seen, but numerous upporters here today were enthu lastic over his chance should he eelde to enter.
