SET QUIZ into
FIND OF BODY
Dog Unearths Corpse Of
Mystery Infant Near
Fifth Ave. Home

Coroner J. f. Brooks and cOun-
tv and city officers are investi-
eating the finding Of the body Of
a young baby in the yard of the
J. ]. Headrick home, on Fifth ave-
nue. west, on Saturday afternoon
about $50 o'clock.
The body was discovered when
4 dog scratched it out of the
ground only a few feet from the
Headrick home. 1t had been
buried about three inches under
the ground behind a brick pillar
supporting the pOrtecochere OF
the house.
Mr.. Headrick said yesterday
that it was his opinion that the
body was buried there but he was
at a loss as to a motive for this
action. He declared that it was
buried near the spot where he
parked his car every night, buC
was partially obscurcd by the pill
lar and that he had noticed no
loose dirt there.
He further declared that on
last Wednesday morning about 2
a. m, he heard a noise in the
ward, but as he had already re-
tired, he did not investigate.
Coroner Brooks declared that
the body was evidently that of a
mature child, but that he was un-
able to determine whether or not
it had been born dead or alive. It
had evidently been buried several
days. he said.
A coroner's inquest will be held
on Wednesday afternoon at two
o'clock. Members of the coroner's
jury will be: w. B. Arledge, j. s.
Forrest, J. S. Fielder, J. G. p. Lily,

the bill and send it to conference.
There was a growing feeling in
the house that the senate had
been too liberal with the power
companies and other utility COM
panies in removing the house
amendments boosting the taxes on
these, and that it had been too
hard on the people by boosting
the sales tax to 3 per cent. But
now that the senate has back
tracked by increasing the fran
chise taxes on the utility COM
panies enough to recapture all
most all of the ad valorem tax
reduction they will get and has
also adopted a provision to eX-
empt flour, meal, meat, milk, SUI

sales tax, indications are that the

Hendersonville hailed the adj

Although several places were

only a few people were on hand
for the occasion, most dealers
reported today. There were no
large crowds on the street.
Some stores displayed beer to-
day, but there appeared to be no
great rush to lay in supply. At
one store where beer was dis
played in large quantity in a
show window, a crowd Of OnlOOk-
ers viewed and commented on
the display, but there seemed to
be no rush for the beverage.
Only 10 licenses were issued in
the county for the advent OF
