OFFICER HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Alleged Liquor Law Violator Traps
Him With Dogs Near BOathOuse

Federal Prohibition Officer N. E.
Jett, assisted by local and highway
officers early last week had thrilling
experience in arreSting Ada Hamilton
and Cal Potter, at boat house on the
Murderl1ill river on al charge of pos
session of liquor The officers secret
ed themselves in underbrush to watch
the boat house. Dogs owned by Pot
ter apparently scented the officers and
started to bark. Potter became sus-
picious and sent the dogs in the under
brush trailing them with a revolver in
his hand. One of the dogs went SO
close to Officer Jett that he petted it
to try and quiet the animal. When
within only few feet of where Jett
was lying in the underbrush Potter
pointed his revolver in that direction.
Officer Jett then jumped up with
drawn revolver and ordered Potter to
drop his gun which he did. The two
were held in $1,000 bail each for a
hearing before U. S. Commissioner
Cam in Wilmington. Earl Bennett
and Harry Belts were also arrested
and held for further hearing before
Commissioner Cam in Wilmington on
a charge Of transporting liquor. Aus
tin Bright, Luff Bright, Harry Cork
rell and Adm Bright were arrested
by State highway officers on charge
of stealing chickens. In recent weeks
thousands of chickens have been stol-
en- in various sections Of Kent county
and officers are trying to connect the
quartet with these thefts. In General
Sessions Court Earl Eckeard, who
lpleaded guilty to the Illegal posses
sion of liquor was sentenced to serve
four months in the New Castle Coun-
lty Workhouse and to pay fine Of
$3.50. Delbert Baynard, colored, who
Ipleaded guilty to assault and battery
was parolIed to John R. Ellingsworth,
a farmer, for six months.

are Essential in Solving Problems


are Essential in Solving Problems
Speaking at a banquet of the Tri-
State Packers Association at the Ho-
tel Rennert, Baltimore, Md, last We'd
nesday night, Governor Ritchie de-
clared that organization of both cap
ital and labor was essential to their
best interests. The dinner was a part
Of the spring convention of the asso-
citation, which is nominally made up
of packers of Maryland, Delaware and
New Jersey, but which also includes
membership in Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania The Governor, while express
L ing his belief that the packers should
rely primarily on organization among
themselves in solving their problems,
promised his support for "any reason
able appropriations from the State
Treasury"
J. Harry Covington, Of Washington,
former Chief Justice Of the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia,
stated his belief that only through
close, intelligent cooperation could
the difficulties of the canning indus
try be solved.
The great needs Of the industry he
considered the boycotting by Gamers
of members of their own organization
who produce impure products and a
fairer adjustment of income with the
farmers.
"You have a common stake with
them," he said. at is essential to
your best interests that the farmer as
well as yourselves receives fair re-
turn"
Mr.. Covmgton praised the rural
population at the expense of the ur-
ban dwellers.
"Ihe fourth generation in New
York city is on the toboggan of fail
ure," he declared. Metropolitan pop
ulations are always associated with
lower standards of citizenship"
Nelson H. F'ools, of Preston, pres
ident of the association, predicted at
the dinner and at the business meet
ing which has held in the afternoon.
Grading Of tomatoes according to
standards formulated by the United
States Government was urged by G.
9. Gelder, speaking at the afternoon
session. The packing Of standard to-
matoes would benefit the packers by
better prices, he said.
The committee preparing the asso-
ciation's petition to the United States
Tariff Commission for higher tariff
on imported canned tomatoes to meet
Italian competition, reported that it is
gathering cost figures on the Ameri-
can and Italian products 1t report
ed difficulty in making exact compari-
sons because the Italian tomatoes are
above the ordinary standard.

BLOWS ARE EXCHANGED
BY Committeeman

Washington, June 7.-An ex-
change of blows, the throwing of an
ink well and glass of water, took
place today at the capital in a fight
between Representative Rankin, of
Mississippi, on one side, and Commits
sioner F. A. Fenning, of the District
of Columbia, and his counsel, F. J.
Hogan, on the other.
The encounter was staged before
the house judiciary committee where
an investigation of Mr.. Jennings ad,
,ministration is under way.
Mr.. Hogan received a slight injury
above the left temple but the partici-
pants were separated before others
were hurt. Representative Rankin ad-
mitted the throwing of the ink well,
Hogan the throwing of the glass of
water, and Fenning said he did all in
his power to reach Rankin with his
fists but was unsuccessful. Rankin
said someone had struck him and he
thought it was Fenning.
The fight was precipitated when
Rankin became angered over an in
terruption by Hogan to his line of
questions.

AN ERROR CORRECTED

Last week, as an it em of news. The
Democrat stated that the board of
county commissioners was response
BILE for the new survey on highway
No 50, from Todd to Boone, and the
paragraph has caused quite rifle
among the people in general and the
board of commissioners in particu-
lar. Really the board had nothing
whatever to do with it, but we gave
it as it was given to US by number
Of citizens, but since hearing the
statement of the gentlemen who flat
ly denied having anything whatever to
do with the transaction, The Demo-
crat is glad to make the correction.
A long petition, bearing the names
of many citizens on the original as
well as the lower route was sent to
the state highway commission asking
that the survey be changed, theil
claim being that it was the most prac.
teal as well as the cheapest of the
two, claiming that better grade
ceuld be had and that the roaC

board for their signatures, but they
frankly refused to sign it, notwith
standing the fact that one of thu
members, Mr.. Newton Howell, live
on the lower survey, which is nov
= being made, and would be material,
beneficial should the lower route b.
adopted.
Sixty-nine promises to be one o
the best roads in the mountcins an,
we hope the people will become re
sonciled, regardless Of where the roa

OVERMAN WINS BY
LARGE MAJORITY
Junior Senator Has Lead Over Rev.
nolds of Approximately 10000;
Returns Incomplete

Raleigh, June 8.-On the face of
incomplete unofficial returns from
Saturdays primary, Senator Lee S.
Overman and Congressman A. L.
Bulwinkle and Zebulon Weaver have
been renominated on the Democratic
ticket.
In the senatorial race, 80 counties
of the state have reported and of
these SO are complete. Senator Over
man has lead of 39,169. With l.
1926 precincts reported out of 1,717
in the state, the figures are: Over
man, 114,244; Reynolds, 75,O75.
In the congressional race in the
ninth district with two-thirds of the
precincts reported, Congressman
Bulwinkle had 19 to l lead over J.
A. Dimette. In the tenth district,
with only two precincts missing, Con-
gresham Weaver had lead of more
than 11,O0O over Felix Alley.
The returns thus far indicate that
Mr.. Reynolds received majoritics in
16 of the SO completed counties,
while Senator Overman carried the
remainder.
In four contests for seats on the
superior court bench, one incumbent
probably has been renominated, sec
ond primaries will be necessary in two
districts and in the other district the
candidates are running so close that
complete returns will be necessary be-
fore a definite result can be obtain
ed.
Judge A. M. Stack apparently has
been renominated in the 13th district
over W. C. Redwine. In the seventh
district a second race will be run be-
ween Judge T. H. Calvert and w.
C. Harris. In the fifth district, r.
A. Num-, incumbent, is being pressed
by j. A Brown. With 81 precincts
ont of 95 reported the vote stood to-
night, Mum, $3.50; Brown, 4,314.
In the goth district, to fill the seat
made vacant by the resignation of
Judge 7. D. Bryson, a four-cornered
race apparently has been decided
with a second contest between J. D.
Mallonnee and Walter E. Moore.
However, the final count may show
VIM. j. Hannah has displaced Nal
lonec while 7. j. johnson trailed the
other three.

SECTION
WORK is PROGRESSING
nual Message Under Way; Be
Issued About July 1st

The first annual message, in maga-
zine form, of approximately one hun
dred pages and cover, of Cardinals
Enchanting Section bids fair to be
the most comprehensive and credit
able publicity ever sent out of the
south. 1t will prove a signal achieve
Inent for wide-awakeness of this sec
tion in bringing its resources and
possibilities before the people of the
country. The impression on the peo-
pie throughout the land will be one
that will attract attention of most
widespread nature and will truly por-
tray, without any exaggerations, the
business of the name adopted. A
great deal of work is necessary for
publication on July 1st in order to
reap the fullest benefit for this years
activities. For this reason a general
call is sent out for decisive action on
the part of all civic bodies partici-
pating.
Authentic data, no hearsay, no
guess work and no exaggeration
should be gathered right now. Photo
graphs of the most important scenes
Of beauty, industrial and civic activi-
ties should be procured and ready for
The publicity directors now on tour
ot the section making final compila-
tlon.
Many points have already prepared
their copy and furnished necessary
photographs or cuts. Those who
have not done so are urged to do it
now. The press will not wait for
delinquents.
Irreparable damage will result in
the omission of the Identification of
any town or city in the publication
that will reach every corner of the
globe.
Geographically Boone is included
in this section. If we are not includ-
ed in the relation of the section with
opr individual representation, it will
be through lack of cooperation or in
activity on the part of our citizens.
The Forthcoming booklet has re-
eeived notice from some of the lead
ing papers in many parts of the
country. Its Importance and the en-
terprising spirit prompting the move
ment has been most favorably COM
Mented on The people in many
states are awaiting this message, and
Boone. and this section should be
4nrf1ded
This will call for both moral and
financial cooperation. 1t is big
undertaking to be given considera-
tion by the maximum in response.
Now is the opportune time to put
Cardinals Enchanting Section on the
map.
