, NATIONAL DEFENSE NEWS I
, By Miss May Zeigler. Z

The Mems Defense Committee for
Boone County met last Friday and
organized with Walter Petit, chair
man; j. C. Murray, vice-presindent,
and l.. F. Eoff, secretary-treasurer
1t is the purpose of this committee
to cooperate with the woman's branch
of the Defense Council in the Hoover
Food Conservation campaign. Their
first work will be the marketing of
the surplus and perishable crops of
Boone county. For this purpose
chairman has been appointed in each
township of the county and a meeting
called for Friday, August TO- This is
very important. 1t is estimated that
three carloads of potatoes will rot in
Boone county. Let us stop this. Other
counties, through similar organiza-
tions, have shipped their entire sur
plus and received from $1.50 to $500
per bushel. The farmers ought to
have the money and the United States
needs the potatoes. The crop is not
too large. Our congested home market
makes the rs cent price. The cities
are paying $500 and $4OO yet A
system that will guarantee to the
farmers a market for all he raises
will be a great thing for Boone county.
1t ranks with the highway proposition.
This is the work of the National COun-
Gil of Defense.

4 MEN HURT IN COLLISION

Railway Motor Car Runs Into Freight
Car on Side Track-Injured Men
and 5 Others on Car Members of
Repair Crew of Western Union Tel
egraph Co
Three men are in the THOMPSON
hospital badly bruised Up and an
other is confined to his room at the
Thompson hotel as a result Of ar
8-horse power railroad motor car
running into a flat freight car on the
S.A.L.side track at the Robson Man
ufacturing Co.'s plant 1 miles west
of town, about $50 last night. The
injured men are: w. w. Peek, right
ankle fractured; W. F. Covington,
back hurt; L. D. Honeycutt, head
badly bruised; c. 7. Bigger, cut over
left eye. There were 9 men on the
car, and all were badly shaken up.
The motor car belonged to the
Western Union Telegraph Co., and
was used by force of hands rebuild
ing the telegraph company's lines be-
tween Hamlet and Wilmington. The
force has been working near here
and making Lumberton headquarters
for some time. The men worked
right up to 6 o'clock last night in
order to get some line troubles ad-
justed. Mr.. w. w. Peek, foreman of
the crew, says he was looking for
local freight No. 65 on the main line
and the fact that it had gone in on
| the side track and the switch left
open with no switch lights burning
and no flagman or brakeman with a
light to be seen caused the acci-
dent. The motor truck was making
about Is miles an hour, and had the
men On board not Jumped before the
collision, no doubt some of then
would have been killed. The trair
was not moving.
The injured men were brought to
town on the freight engine and DR.
W. A. McPhaul, local Seaboard sur
! geon, and Dr. N. A. Thompson render
ed medical aid
While none of the injuries i;
! thought to be serious. the ncn o.
the car had a close call.
