Manuel Dorane, driver of the touring
car which crashed into a Pickwick
stage on Tuesday morning, entered
plea of guilty to reckless driving in
Judge Ollie Phillips court in Pirtleville

$5. In connection with the wrecking
of the touring car and the throwing
from the highway of the big stage,
Deputy Sheriff o. A. Ash told The Dis
patch last night that the stage driver
had been absolved from all blame in
the accident.
The four men who were in the small
car with Dorane at the time of the
accident all entered pleas of guilty to
charges of being intoxicated and were
fined IS each. These sentences were
made light because the car in which
the men were riding was badly
wrecked and because there had been
death in the family.

IF YOU'VE never rolled one with Prince
Albert, you have no idea how good
home-rolled cigarette can be. Sure as
guns iron, P. A. makes the niftiest smoke
you ever met in the home-rolIcd line.
And the one, big, outstanding reason is
that it is better tobacco!
Prince Albert is crimp-cut. It stays
put in the paper as you roll it :. doesn't
float away ON the first little breeze. But
that's detail. The big thrill is the taste
of cigarette made with p. A. It is cool
and sweet. 1t is mild and mellow. Every
puff is a Joy.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-02-24

The instant you open the tidy red tin
and get a Whit of P. A., you know you
are in for some grand cigarette-sessions.
The breath of hilltop air is in it, with
sunshine smiling through. You'll roll 'em
and smoke 'em from morning to mid
night, and relish every one.
DO you sometimes smoke pipe? Ex-
perienced jinarny-pipers will tell you that
no other tobacco is like p. A. for pipes.
1t doesn't bite the tongue or parch the
throat, no matter how hard you hit it up.
IF you want TO get the most ont of pipe,
put p. A. in it!

Rev. r. N. Baldwin
Dies at Lenoir Hospital
Popular Pastor of Advent Christian
Church Died Monday Afternoons;
Burial in Kentucky
CAME TO BOONE YEAR AGO
Handsome New Church One of His
Great Accomplishments

Elder r. N. Baldwin, pastor of the
Boone Advent Christian church, died
at the Caldwell Hospital, Lenoir,
Monday afternoon ct o'clock, fol-
lowing an illness covering a period
of a little more than two months,
having been taken to Lenoir two
weeks ago. Mrs. Baldwin and baby
were with-him when death came.
Mr., Baldwin came to Boone lit
tie more than a year ago fiCm Au-
gusta, Ga, end took the pastorate of
the Boone Advent Christian church,
since which time he had devoted his
best energy TO the upbuilding of that
denomination. Largely through his
efforts the handsome new church
building in the eastern part of town
was completed during his pastorate,
he having even done much manual
labor en- the eGifice.
Elder Baldwin had spent the maj jor
part of his for, y-three years Of life
in church work, interspersed some
times with journalistic endeavor A
well educated and ambitious man, he
was always ore of the leading fac
tors in civic movements, having been
especially prominent in connection
with the local Chamber of Com
merce. The esteem in which he was
held by this organization was evil
dcnced by beautiful floral tribute
for his funeral.
Deceased was very prominent in
the Advent church work, having
been secretary of the Piedmont Con-
ference and chairman of the ways
and means committee of that body.
Elder Baldwin had made a host
of friends during his brief sojourn in
Boone who are grieved at his death.
The town as, whole will be the
poorer for the loss of his efforts,
along all lines looking to the growth
of the town and the bettefment of
the community.
A number of local citizens went to
Lenoir Tuesday, some of whom will
kelly accompany the remains to
Pineville, Kentucky, where inter-
ment is to be made amid the scenes
of his childhood.
