Sanford, Aug. 22.—Joe W Stout, age 50, a widely known Sanford citizen and prominent contractor and builder, died in the Charlotte Sanatorium, Charlotte, shortly af ter 3 o’clock this afternoon follow ing an illness of several weeks. Mr Stout was a native of Randolph: county, the son of Mrs. J. A. Stout. ! of Sanford, and the late Mr j Stout.

The Star Signs National Newspaper Code I Believing firmly that the President's plan for recov ery means a revival in business, an upswing in prices and ! re-employment for millions who have been despondent and destitute for three years or longer, The Star Publishing j Co., has become a member of the National Recovery Ad- J minsitration. A publisher-printer code was agreed upon in Chicago last w-eek under which the 12.000 printer-publishers and small commercial printers of the nation will operate. It provides for a 40 hour week in mechanical, 48 hours for ! editorial staff and clerical help with a minimum wage ! scale as set up in the agreement with the President. !! The Star’s wage scale is and has always been abov* destitute for three years or longer, The Star PPublishinj, j because our plant employs highly skilled workers who t have spent years at the trade. In inaugurating the 40 1 hour week for mechanical employees, there will be no re j | duction in the pay they received for the longer hourr. j Our mechanical force has been increased 16 2-3r<. Unenv J ployment in the printing industry in North Carolina is ' ' only five per cent. To maintain the same wage scale and shorter hours j | for regular employees and at the same time add to th: j plant’s operating cost, means quite a sacrifice. Especially ! does it mean a sacrifice in the face of losses that ha\ f been incurred during the past two years in operating Th< ! Star plant, but we feel confident that a general recover I * will justify the sacrifice we are making wdthin the next 20 or 60 days. The management of The Star appreciates the faith , fulness, loyalty and speed of those in the organic tion and their fine spirit in helping the company solve i*s many problems.

Five or six years ago, one day as Mr. Rowland, who ts president of the National Bank of South Carolina, was walking through his cotton field, he happened to notice a boll of cotton having five locks. He picked it and, as he held it in his hand, an idea developed In his mind.

Not Easy To Find He looked for other five-lock bolls of cotton, but they were not easy to find. However, he went over the field and gathered all he could find.

The fatal crash Sunday took place when two ears crashed to gether as both were making the in tersection in opoali-e directions just about the time hhe rtd and green lights were changing and the yel low, or caution, light was on. Chang** proposed The new rules proposed by Ohio! Wilkins are as follows: 1. No right Nun while the red light la on, thus making street crossing more safe for pedestrians i as well as motorists. 2. No left turns at all at the four | main uptown Intersections. 3. No advancing of an automobile while the yellow, or caution, light Is on. thus giving autoa which en tered the crossing lanes an oppor tunity to clear In the opposite di rection before ears enter from the other side. 4. A more rigid regulation to halt speeding In the business district where there are numerous street and alley Intersections and heavy traffic. "If those regulations are made as an order to the police department, I hope to erect signs at the four main traffic lights stating that there will be no right turns on a red light, and no left turns at all," Chief Wilkins sold. 'The police de portment will also put forth every effort to arrest violators and to se* that the regulations Bre obeyed." The officer pointed out that turni made to the right on red lights and to the lea on green lights are not only dangerous to motorists and pedestrians, but also mult In un ruly traffic jama, particularly oa SBturdayR when uptown traffic to congested. -_ ' Shepard Is To Pay $2 SO And Costs In Austell Car Wreck N«l Proa Taken On HM And Ban Charge, la To Pag Hospital RBI.
