In the Storm

Two groups of Chapel Hillians
were on the North Carolina coast
when the hurricane struck last Fri
day.
Mrs. John NJ. Booker, Mrs. Cum
Minis Mebane, and Mrs. Louis Graves
were in Beaufort. Moody Durham,
Willie Hogan, J. Buck Dawson, and
Obie Davis, who were on a deer
hunt at Newport, 10 miles inland
drove down to Morehead Friday eve
ming and were there for about an
hour while the storm was raging.
The McClamrochs, acting upon
warnings that came to them Wednes-
day, left their cottage on the beach
ard came home before the storm
reached a dangerous stage.
The three women, who returned to
Chapel Hill yesterday, were in the
Manson House in Beaufort.
"The hurricane struck US about 4
o'clock Friday afternoon" said Mrs.
Graves. land it roared on until about
three in the morning. The lights
went out at about s. and we lit
candles. We spent the night listen
ing to the wind and the rain and
wondering if the house would stand.
Fortunately, it is built upon a rock.
We read p. G. Wodehouse by candle
light, but that's hard on the eyes,
and we would quit reading and gabble.
Sleep was impossible until daylight,
except in snatches. We didn't take
off our shoes.
''ln the middle of the night the
chimney crashed upon the roof, tore
off the cutters, and dashed in the
dining room window.
"The next morning we went forth
and saw the havoc. 1t seemed mir
aculous that nobody in Beaufort had
been seriously hurt. About every
fifth house had at least one of its
chimneys down Here and there we
saw roofs crushed in. The tin-roofed
houses Jared worst. Some of these
tin coverings were ripped entirely off
and flung into yards and across side
walks.
Great trees were torn up, bringing
sidewalks with them. Gasoline sta
Itions had huge standards torn away
from their bases. Streets and yards
were strewn with debris. Sometimes
porch roof dropped down upon the
floor, so that when the family came
out they trod on sloping shingles.
"In the cemetery wrought-iron fenc-
es were uprooted and twisted, and
tombstones crashed to the ground. The
wind was from the northeast, and
so did not bring water upon Beau
fort. If it had been from the south
east, we would have been flooded.
eve had had "a hours warning, but
nobody believed the storm would be
as violent as it was. We went over
to Morehead Friday morning, and on
over the causeway to the ocean. The
gale was whipping the waves as they
broke 1t was all spun spray. like
smoke. We went home about noon.
Soon after dinner we carried the car
to garage, and it stayed there safe
until the weather was fair again"
Moody Durham and his companions
were on deer hunt.
"We had killed deer and we took
it to Morehead to have it put in cold
storage" said Mr.. Durham on his
return home "We got there about
supper time Friday. The wind was
terrific Telephone poles were falling,
and roofs were coming off the houses.
We got back to Newport about $50.
Part of the roof blew off our board
ing house while we were in bed. A
warehouse across the street from US
lost it's roof"

VETS CRITICIZE
j, 8. OFFICIALS

High government officials were
criticized in resolutions adopted
at the annual encampment Of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars now
in session here.
Louis McHenry Howe, secre-
tary to the President, was hit for
his dealings with the recent bonus
marchers, while Gen. Frank T.
Hines, of the Veterans Admins
tration, was taken to task for his
administration of benefits to
Spanish-American War veterans.
The veterans also struck at
Secretary of the Treasury Woodin
for being on the Morgan pre-
ferred list.
Question Of payment of the
bonus will be taken up today, and
it is expected the veterans will
demand payment before the war
debts are cancelled.

G. T. HeLUering Rules
On Taxable Dividends

Dividends declared after June
IS are taxable, according to an
opinion handed down yesterday by
Guy T. Helvering, commissioner Of
internal revenue.
Because the national industrial
recovery act was signed by the
President at 1855 a. m. June 16,
unofficial opinions were to the
effect that the dividend taxes be-
came effective at that time. Hell
vering, overruling these, sets the
country right on moot question.
Any dividends declared the day
before the President signed the
act must be taxed at the source.

THRIFT BOOKS
GIVEN OKAY

Investigation by District Attor-
ney, Leo A. Rover of the sale of
bargain coupon books, which he
undertook a few days ago at the
request of the Better Business
Bureau, has convinced him that
no fraud is involved, and he gave
the enterprise a clean bill OF
health today.
The books of coupons entitle
purchasers to reduced prices at
certain commercial and amuse-
ment establishments.
Business men who contracted
with the salesman of the coupons
said they would back up their
contract with him and honor the
coupons.
At conference, Rover said,
the promoters agreed to eliminate
several coupon proposals.

By International News Service
Quick payment by Lithuania Of
$4,000 on it's $132,091 June is
debt installment today marked
the first results of this Govern
ment's warning that the default
ing debtor nations would not be
welcome at the debt revision pa
rade of the non-defaulting coun-
tries here late this summer
Lithuania failed 70 make any
payment on June Is ana waited
to see what attitude this Govern
ment would adopt towards the oe-
faulters before making known its
intentions,
Payment in Silver
Less than "a hours after it be-
came apparent that this Govern
ment intended to bar the de-
faulting nations from the debt re-
vision parade, the Lithuanian min
lister, M. Bronius Balutis, tele-
phoned Acting Secretary of State
Phillips that he had received
word from his government OF
Lithuania's intention to make
a partial payment.
This hurried notification was
followed today by payment in
silver of $4,000 on the $132,091
due. The payment was made at
the Federal assay office in New
York. BY paying in silver,
Lithuania made approximately %
cents on the dollar on the basis
Of the present price of silver.
8 Per Cent of Amount Due
President Roosevelt was au-
thorized by Congress to accept
up to $2OO,OOO,00O in silver in
payment of the debts at a maxi
mum rate of so cents per ounce.
Silver is now selling around SO
cents an ounce, thus permitting
the debtors who pay in silver to
make IA cents on every half dol
lar.
Lithuania's payment of a little
less than 8 per cent on the
amount due June Is makes that
Baltic republic eligible to join the
