INGWALSON STORE 36,,
HOLDING BIG SALE

Large posters were distributed
the first of the week, announcing
a huge sale, starting Thursday of
this week at the Ingwalson Com
pany general merchandise store
in this city.
The store was packed Thursday
with customers eager to buy the
merchandise at bargains that meet
ones eye at every turn in the
large building.
A glance at the posters assures
one that here is an opportunity to
save money just as the winter is
coming on and many clothes as
well as groceries are needed.
The sale started off with a bang
and from all indications, a record
for sales in this city will be es-
tablished by that popular firm
before the close of the great mer-
chandising event. 3&,l8

RESERVE BANK
NSTALLS BOOK
KEEPING ROBOT

A mechanical genius has taken
over the bookkeeping department
of The First National Bank of Re-
serve in the form of an automatic
Burroughs bookkeeping machine.
This machine is the first of this
type and features to be installed
within the state and the very lat
est development in mechanical ac-
counting equipment for banks.
1t is unique in that it combines
all the features of merit of other
Burrough Bank machines, yet per-
mits a wide sheet journal of the
postings. The ledger sheets are
inserted from the front and are
not turned around the platen.
George Lund, cashier, said, "That
this machine is evidence and anoth-
er step forward in keeping with
our progressive yet conservative
policy. The machine was pur-
chased to render our customers
better service, then greater pro-
lection of correct posting, by proof
afforded and neater statements.
We are well pleased with this me-
chanical bookkeeper."

ANOTHER OF ELLA
MAYS ASSAILANTS
is IDEN TIFIED|
By MARGARET LARKIN

Gastonia, N. C.-(FP)-Another
employe of the Loray mill has
been clearly identified as a mem
Der of the armed mob that shot and
killed Ella May Wiggins, as the
coroner's inquest continues in Gas
tonia. He is w. B. Borders, 65-
year-old gate keeper at the plant.
Upon his Identification by D. L.
Case, he was arrested.
Several witnesses said they had
seen the men who fired the fatal
shot and could identify him. AL

Informed the authorities of their
knowledge, they have received no
help In searching for him, as to-
days hearing proved. Julius Fow-
Ter, who was in the union truck,
described the killer as a "red-head
ed man dressed nice, with a kind
OF floppy panama hat" After the
wreck of the truck this man chased
Fowler, who is cripple, and brot
him back to one of the nearby cars,
where he was released.
George B. Lingerfelt, driver of
the truck, who has been held on
charges of manslaughter, was re-
leased today. There have been re-
ports THAI the State would attempt
to make it appear that the fatal
shot came from the front of the
truck. There was hole through
the window glass back of the
seat, but none through the
windshield, it was said. Fowler
accounted for the hole at the hear
ing today. His crutch struck the
glass as the impact of the crash
threw him to the floor, he said.
Wes. Williams, chairman of the
Nal. Textile Workers Bessemer
City local, and l.. C. Carter, union
member, who were in the truck,
testified at the inquest. They told
how the truck was attacked and
forced to turn back TO Bessemer
City, how it was pursued by auto
and how one swerved in
front causing the wreck.
When the truck stopped some of
the people ran, and as they fled
they were pursued and shots fired
at them. 81 did not run, I'm not
the sellin-out kind" said Carter.
He helped carry Ella Mays body to
a nearby house.

flexible tariff provision an
amendment by Senator Sim
mons, North Carolina demo-
crat tariff leader.
This provides for reports by the
tariff commission to the president.
The latter then would submit the
report to congress, with recommen-
datlons, but only congress would
have power to act. The tariff
making power was granted the
president in the 1922 act.
The defeat was a severe setback
for the president, as it was the
only tariff issue he has contested
with the senate. But further than
that, 1T adds complications to the
already confused tariff situation.

view of some observers. It could
very easily be the basis of a veto.

In any event, it will cause long
delay, for it throws the flexible
tariff controversy into confer

house approved the flexible provi-
sion and strengthened it.

Elgin Cafe, Scene of Small
Blaze Last Friday Morning

Monday morning about 400 o.
clock the Plentywood populace was
aroused by the Shrieks of the fire
siren, which heralded a small blaze
at the rear of the Elgin Cafe.
The fire was of mysterious orig
in and had started in the roof OF
the outer shed leading into the
kitchen of the Elgin Cafe. There
were no wires from which the
flame could have started and the
cause of the blaze was a matter
of much speculation.
Practically no damage was done
as the fire was discovered before
getting any headway.

arms was being sounded through

ager of the San Benito Chamber Of
