Mrs. H. P. Clark asked the subcom-
mittee If any provision could be made
for building an eight-room addition to
the Truesdale School. She said furnace
gases made half of the present structure
highly unsatisfactory. She was told
that since the Budget Bureau had not
recommended an appropriation for this
purpose there was no action the sub
; committee could take. Dr. Luther
Reichelderfer, District Commissioner,
said repairs to the school were being
made which were expected to eliminate
the gas evil.
G. Melvin Sharpe appeared on behalf
OF the washington Railway g. Electric
Co. to oppose any work on the proposed
new P Street Bridge which might re-
suit in the incurring Of expense by the
railway at this time. He said the COM
pany was not opposed to the bridge In
Itself, but did not feel it was in any
condition at this time to meet the
$4,000 expense which would be in
volved If present plans were carried out.
District officials pointed out, however,
that there was little likelihood con-
struction work would be started in the
immediate future as no money is avail
able now.

CLAY BLACKWELL
GIVEN SENTENCE
10 TO 20 YEARS
Pleads Guilty TO Second De-
gree Murder of
John Creel


Clay Blackwell. the unassum-
ing but efficient craftsman who
was one of the most popular
shoemakers ever to peg a sole
or stitch vamp in this village.
has pleaded guilty of murder in
the second degree and goes to
the penitentiary to serve from
ten to twenty years for the
death of John Creel.
Blackwell, who had brooded
over his wife's desertion, had
no defense to make of his use
of a shotgun on the man for
whom Mrs. Blackwell was keep
ing house and whom she refus-
ed to leave when her husband
took one leg of the triangle off
the premises. Exchanging life
long sobriety for sodden drunk
enness, he was in no condition
to explain the murder; but DR..
+. B. Hayes of Hillsboro, who
attended Blackwell in the Jail
there after his arrest, testified
that his patient was highly ner-
vous and suffering from delirlun
tremens. Blackwell himself on
the stand said he did not remem-
Der shooting Creel.
There was considerable testi-
mOny offered as to the good
character of Blackwell, both
from Chapel Hill people and from
Alamance and Richmond coun-
ties where he had formerly liv-
ed. 1t was also revealed that a
brother of Blackwell was men,
tally deranged, and an uncle
was insane during his entire
lifetime.
Mrs. Robert B. Lawson Of
Chapel Hill testified that Black
well had repeatedly appealed to
her to help him get his wife
back, and that he had told her
he was afraid of Creel because
the latter carried a gun. Mrs.
Elizabeth Collins, daughter Of
Blackwell, stated that Creel had
shown the gun to her while on a
visit to her home.
Mrs. Blackwell took the stand
to say that her relations with
Creel were wholly of business
nature.

DIR. J. NJ. MANNING
DEAD AT AGE 76
Death Occurs at Home of His
Brother, DR.. Isaac
Manning

DR.. John NJ. Manning, for
more than forty years phys
ician Of Durham and for ten
years mayor of that city, died
Wednesday night at the home of
his brother, DR.. Isaac H. Man
ming, in Chapel Hill. The funer-
al will be held at St. Philip s
church, bUrhdnI, this nf6f ming
at l0:30, and the body which
has lain in state at the church
since five o'clock yesterday af-
terno0n inferred in MapleWood
cemetery. Rector S. S. Bost
will officiate. The family re-
quests that there be no floral Of
ferings.
Or. Manning's death, at 76,
which followed four or five years
Of declining health, is attributed
to the wearing out Of body ac-
lively used for half century in
the practice Of the most strenu-
Gus Of professions.
Taking up residence in Dur
ham in 1887, DR.. Manning
quickly became prominent in
both civic and professional life.
For many years he was a mem
Der Of the staff Of Watts hos
pital and at one time was a
director Of the institution. In
1921 he was elected mayor,
serving until poor health caused
his resignation in 1881. Since
his retirement from his profess
sion he had been living here with
his brother.
Dr.. Manning was born in
Pittsboro April 8, 1857, and was
graduated from the University
in 1879 with the first four-year
class after its reopening. After
receiving his license he practic-
ed in Iiilsboro for a few years
before moving to Durham.

Ringw0rm from Cats
Park Place Children Corrupted by As
sociatiOn with Infected Felines

There is in the vernacular
hereabouts an old saying, "Ef'n
you lie down with dogs, you'll git
up with neas."
Dorothy DashielI and Phyllis
Bradshaw Of Park Place have
been foregathing with cats. The
result is ringworm for both
children.
DIR. Leonard Fields, a next
door neighhor to the young la
dies, says he never knew before
that cats distributed ringworm.
DR.. Nathan, sanitary officer and
veterinarian, said the phenom-
enon was not unusual and agreed
as health inspector to come for
the disease carriers.
Dorothy baked a bit. She
didn't think it was fair to send
the cats to a doctor when the
Bradshaws were away. ct
seems that the cats came to the
Dashiells by way of the Brad
shaws.) And when DR.. Nathan
had come and had started away
with the cats in a box Dorothy
still was squeamish.
"Oh, they can't get any air
in that boxv" she exclaimed.
Don't you know they'll smother
to death 2"

Miss Mary Hunters Pet Objects to

Miss Mary Hunter, who re-
Gently moved from one of the
Pratt cottages down in the edge
of Battle Park to 400 Cameron
avenue, is with her accustomed
|poise and equanimity rapidly be-
coming acclimated. Not so her
cat, Thomas, a shy, two-year-old
noted for his love of home and
his absolute inkiness. One see
ing Thomas or hearing Of his
whereabouts will confer a great
favor OH Miss Hunter by calling
the matter to her attention.
When she moved she took the
precaution to enclose him in a
bag so that he would make none
|of those tracks which a trans
ported mouser is supposed to
smell while retracing; but this
did not suffice. Thomas returned
to his accustomed haunts which
consist in the main of a stone
wall on which he summed himself
during his mistress absence at
the business of securing the
households board and keep. Miss
Hunter came back for him, again
placed him in a bag and took
him to their new domicile.
There Thomas indicated no
intention of taking root. He is

Miss Hunter fears he may be a

VICTIMS HEIRS
AND ASSIGNS TO
RECEIVE $3.50
Otherwise Ernest GlaStOn Gets
Six Months for Hit
Running
DE AID ARE NEG ROES

Ernest Glaston of Saxapahaw,
who on Sunday, August 6, about
ten miles out on the Graham
road sideswiped the car in
which five Carrboro Negroes
were returning from church
services in Burlington. will have
to pay the families of William
Strayhorn and his daughter AL
gia Mccoy $3.50 between now
and the December term of Or
ange superior court or go to the
roads for six months.
Algia Mccoy was instantly
killed; William Strayhorn died
in a Durham hospital from his
injuries. Glaston, who by all
accounts was on the wrong side
of the road, did not stop when
he ran down the Negroes and
was pursued three miles before
he was overtaken and placed un-
der arrest on charges Of man
slaughter, reckless driving and
driving while intoxicated.
At last week. term of court
at HlllsbOro GlaSton, white
man of twenty-five years, was
acquitted by a jury of his peers
of the charge of manslaughter ,
but trial on a charge Of hit-and-
run driving, which by special
statute is Il felony in North Car
olina, resulted in a conviction.
Judge Devin sentenced the Of
fender to six months on the
roads, this to be suspended on
payment of the costs straight
way and contribution to the
families of those who died as a
result of his hecdlessness which
must have been made by the De-
cember term of court.
The Strayhorns have long
been reputable, capable residents
Of this section, and Carrboro
and Chapel Hill citizens felt
keenly about the affair. William
StrayhOrn was a mason of in
dustry and integrity; his daugh-
ter was well thought Of, and his
father, Tony, is by way of being

sibly of two of the same for a
couple of dittOes; but there
comes a time when even the best
of pan-fsh pals.
Mrs. Taylor grew rather weary
Of founders at Cape Cod where
she and her family were vaca-
tioning last year, but as she
looks back at the incident of her
sen Eddfn EEddfnulnd's attempt to dis
pose of a surplus catch she finds
herself refreshed into a chuckle
over the fine exposition into
which led her husband George
to make of his fallibility as
pater familjas. (Don't think
this suspicion Of a college pro-
fessor's ineptitude for domestic
detail is confined to Mrs. Taylor; !;
all faculty wives of more than
fifteen years experience accept
their husbands as the most con-
sistently naive boys on the
premises.)
Edmund had for a fourth or
fifth time made an especially
fine catch. Fresh from their
home in the briny deep his
founders glistened almost as APP
pealingly as did his prideful
eyes. His mother however had
had enough, and the tcmpera
ture of the water she threw on
his proposal of this lot of fioun-
ders for breakfast, luncheon or
supper was such as would have
chilled the ardor Of IZaak Walton
himself.
"PositiVely no more founders"
said she.
Edmund was not out Of cOun-
tenance for long. Then I'll sell
them" he announced.
1t was not a bad idea, thought
his father, who both before and
since the depression has at times
advertcd to the fact that the
rising generation has it too soft,
and who himself insists that he
likes to sleep on a shuck mat
tress to the accompaniment Of
hogs roofing their way into
hams, sausage and sidemeat.
To whom should the sales be
made was the next item.
"I'll sell them to our neigh
bors next door" suggested Ed
mund.
We've called on those folks
you can't do that" said George
quickly, his South Carolina land
holding blood overcoming the
slight admixture Of Nantucket
whaling stock which made no
bones of selling even whales to
their intimates. Edmund thought
for a moment and gave up the
notion Of fshmongering in So
ciety.
"Then ! can sell them to their
chauffeur. He likes fish"
What" demanded his father.
"Scll fish to-a negro! That's just
one Of the things a South Caro-
lima gentleman doesn't do"
"Well," concluded the boy
after considerable reflection.
"There's that old retired sea
captain over yondcr. He's half
paralyZed and can't catch his
own fish, and / see him buy
them. can sell some to him.
Impossible! Impossible!" and
Georges voice almost reached
the breaking point. "Sell fish to
IA paralyzed sea captain? You
can't do that. Give them to
him! Give them to him"
And while Edmund disconsol-
ately rang up "No Sale" Mrs.
Taylor T 1t made mental notes Of
that illogic with which the teach
ers of men approach the task of
instructing their own offspring.

Alterations

waves of controversy swirled around

bill Thursday before the senate agri-
culture committee.
Major alterations urged by rep
resentatives Of milk prod U e s,

new proposal-that administration Of
the act be placed In the hands OF the
farm board instead Of the secretary
OF agriculture.
It was advanced by Charles A.
Ewing, president of the National
Livestock Marketing association, Chi
cago, who also advocated inclusion Of
cattle and sheep In the bill along
with hogs. The measures provides
for q bounty to the producer to be
raised by taxing the packer or other
professor.

ager Of the American Association of

Chicago, sought elimination Of dairy
products, included in the bill along
with wheat. cotton, tobacco, hogs, rice
and peanuts.
Must Tax Margarine
Charles w. Holman, a spokesman
for $4,000 milk producers, said that
to help them the bill must be amend
ed to tax oleomargarine ito maintain
sales parity with butter"
Holman, secretary Of the National
Cooperative Milk Producers associa-
ton, favored the bill with this and
other amendments.
Senator Capper (Rep., Kans) ask.
ed Holman's views on the production
control features of the bill. It pro-
vides that dairy men agree not to
increase their production and that
other producers cut production 20 per
cent, to receive the benefits of the
act.
Il do not think the bill can work
with any profit without production

not think that the dairy people could
bear this legislation without control
Of their crops that would prevent

marked that the milk producer who
sells directly to the consumer must
pay q tax under the bill.

cessor and gets it back as a pro-
ducer."
