NO WHIPPING POST CONSIDERED
TYPHOID IN DURHAM.

Raleigh, July 13.-George Ross
Pou, superintendent of the States
prison here, today branded as false
the report that it was the intention
of the prison officials to inaugurate
the whipping post at the central in
stitution.
For weeks such report has been
going the rounds. Newspaper men
here heard it during the early weeks
of the Morrison administration but
little if any attention was paid to it,
There was never a denial from any
of the prison officials and the rumor
continued, each time growing worse
Visitors from over the State have
heard doubtless that the post" had
already been established and that
'fioggings" were now the order of
the day.
Superintendent Pou's denial today
is vigorous. I'VE not only have not
given a moments consideration to
such a proposition. Mr.. Pou, but
we don't intend to. The charge Is
most unfair and was first made by
enemies of either the prison board
or Governor Morrison who appointed
them
Registration of North Carolina
automobiles today reached the 1OO,-
900 mark, according to Joe Sawyer,
chief clerk of the automobile license
department of the Secretary of
States Office. There have been TO-
600 trucks also registered.
While the registrations to date are
somewhat under last years figures
| it is the opinion of Mr.. Sawyer that
fully as many cars and trucks will be
licensed for 1921 as in 1920. The
applications, it is pointed out, are
slow coming in because of hard
times-espeeially from Eastern
