CUPID RIDES DIXIE Filler
Does His Stuff and Then Gets All Mixed Up -

When a personable young man
meets a pretty girl in a train,
there is often the beginning of
story-particularly when Cupid is
riding the blinds.
Bob Weston, who was not only
personable but wealthy, met Joan
Waring on Dixie bound flyer.
He thought she was the prettiest
girl he had ever seen.
And that is the beginning of
Forgotten Sweetheart story
bv Mary Pickford Raymond,
which starts in The Times-News
on Thursday.
Cupid may have been working
overtime on the train to Men,
phis. Later, he took holiday
and when he went back on the
job. he made a mess of things.
Young Weston thought he low
ed Joan-and along came Bar
bara Courtney. Barbara was un-
deniably pretty herself, and wore
the kind of clothes that Joan
read about in fashion magazines.
Barbara had glamour-and she
knew what she wanted.

When the three of them were
invited to weekend party on a

found out that Barbara was her

for playing any game to win.
Rules didn't bother her.
Later the scene shifts from the

There is lot of action in
"Forgotten Sweetheart" and the

CUT OF Is PCT.
IN VALUATIONS
ALSO ADOPTED
Mayor Cites Reduction in
Net Outlay for Prop
erty Owners
ISSUES APPEAL FOR
FULL COOPERATION

Mayor A. V. Edwards this
morning announced a city tax
rate for the fiscal year l933-34
of SLIGO on the 500 valuation.
This rate is divided into two
levies, II cents for general pur-
poses and SO cents for debt serv-
ice.
At the same time Mayor Ed
wards announced discounts for
the prompt payment Of 1888 taxes
as follows: From the opening of
the books to November 80, S per
cent. For the month of December
3 per cent. Payments in January
will be at par and penalties will
start on February I Of 1884.
A comparison of the actual net
tax for the year 1888 with the
year 1882 on this basis shows that
in 1882 a valuation of $1,000 at
rate of $1.30 less discount Of
/ per cent would result in taxes
of $12.87, while a valuation Of
the same property for 1888 would
be $3.50 at $1.60 per hundred, less
per cent for payment would re-
suit in a tax of $11.40. a saving
to the taxpayer of STAT on the
thousand dollar valuation.
In this connection Mayor Ed
wards pointed out that while the
rate is higher, the taxpayer will
actually save money as the valua-
ton of real property has been cut
25 per cent. For the year 1882
33 the approximate valuation Of
property for taxation was So
$50 900. but the value of taxable
property has been reduced through
the horizontal cut to approximate
| ~ $7,200,O0O.
Mayor Edwards further pointed
out that the experience of the
1882 general operating budget
showed that the actual expendi-
ture was less than the estimated
expenditure by $4,000. The bud
get estimate for 1888 carries a
further reduction in operating
costs of $4,000.
although the 1888 legislature
passed statewide act and spa
cial acts designed to aid property
owners in settling their back taxes
through the purchase and ex-
change of city bonds, the annul-
ment of penalties, and extra dis
counts, the property owners owing
taxes have not availed themselves
of the opportunity thus author
led" Mayor Edwards said.
"Co-operation on the part of
those who owe back taxes would
not only be of benefit to the in
dividual but would enable the city
government to reduce its bonded

FORCE Close
OF Weed MART
Angry Tobacco Growers
at Wendell Demand Ces-
sation Again

RALEIGH. Sept. 26.-(UP)-
Forced closing of the market at
Wendell by a group of angry ami
dissatisfied growers and generally
higher prices yesterday featured
the reopening of sales of tobacco
markets in North and South Caro-
lima after a three-week holiday
which prevailed during the price
fight.
The chief rumblings of dissatis-
faction were heard at Wendell
while through the new bright and
border tobacco belts farmers gen
erally were satisfied with prices
averaging from II to 1G cents per
pound. These averages were 20
per cent or more above those paid
before the holiday was called by
Governor j. c. B. EhringhauS ot
North Carolina.
Angry growers demanded that
sales be suspended on the Wendell
market Monday afternoon. Con-
fusion reigned for a time, with
more than 1000 farmers ami
Wendell citizens in the warehouse,
but order was restored without
fighting and operations ceased I'M
til today.
Sheriff Numa F. Turner at Ra-
leigh rushed four deputies to the
little tobacco town 16 miles east
of here and planned to have a
guard on hand when sales were
resumed in another warehouse
this morning.

Torgler Declares
Communists Had
No Part in Blaze
Coat Given Stone Mason
and Found at Palace
Is Identified

LEIPZIG. Germany, Sept. 26.
(UP).-Denial that he or anyone
connected with the Communist
party had anything to do with the
Reichstag fire in Berlin the night
of February 27 was voiced in su-
preme court here yesterday by
Ernest Torgler. one of five men
on trial for their lives.
Torgler. former Communist
whip in the Reichstag, went TO the
witness stand and launched at
once into his formal denial of
participation in an alleged plot ID
set the Reichstag afame as part
of a reign of terror to embarrass
the new government of Adolf
Hitler.
After Torgler's testimony, the
court attempted to establish the
whereabouts of Maximum van der
Lubbe, young Dutch stOnemason
who is one of the five defendants,
prior to a fire in the attack of d
palace in Berlin two days before
the Reichstag fire.
Lubbe, however, continued has
tactics of responding to all
queries with mumbled. confused
contradictory answers. The youth
admitted. however. having talked
with three witnesses at a Com
munist beer hall where he was
given a coast which the prosecu-
tion alleges was the one subse-
quently found at the Relchsta@
building after the fire.
The Dutchman at first affirmed
and then denied his reply when
the Judge asked him whether ne
said the masses in Germany must
be stirred up by fires in public
buildings.
The state closed the first phase
of it's attempt to connect Lubbe
with the fire and other incendlary
plans in Germany, thus clearing
the ground for a hearing on the
first actual fire evidence, namely,
the palace blaze in Berlin on Feb
ruary rs.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 26 (uP)
The coastal city of Tampico, one
of Mexico's largest municipalities,
was almost wiped out Monday by
a terrific hurricane, an official
bulletin of the interior depart
ment said last night.
The Monterrey correspondent
of the newspaper Ell Universe
quoted railway officials as esti-
mating 5000 dead and injured in
the torm-ravaged district between
Victoria and Tampico. The wind
roared inland at 125 miles an
hour, some reports said. Commu-
nications were wrecked.
Miles of railway tracks were
washed away. The damage to
railway lines is fabulous" the re-
port said. Several trains were
held up by floods and others in
the storm area were not reported
or heard from here.
First contact with the stricken
city was obtained through com
munication. with the German
steamer Kiel in Tampico Harbor
which radioed:
"Most intense tragedy. Impos'
sible to imagine extent. Those
parts of city not destroyed by
wind are now ten or fifteen feet
under water" - =
Previous reports had indicated
that it was undoubtedly the worst
disaster in the history of Mexico
Inland from Tampico for dis
lance of at least 70 miles the
country apparently had been
flooded. with no one able to pre-
dict what loss of life and damage
has been done.
The National Railways reported
that several trains which left here
for Tampico the day before the
hurricane swept across off the
gulf have not been heard from
