"Simplified" Revenue Bills.
CONGRESS is wrestling with the
~ new "simplified" revenue bill, hav-
ing simplified it down to mere sixty
odd thousand words-about the length
of fair-size summer novel. But the
plot is different-and having made Its
provisions so clear and lucid that you
may read it backward or forward, you
seem to get practically the same result
either way. So could anything be fairer
than that?

they had never held a hope or a de-

that he was capable Of no such single

VXIHAT is it has turned them from

wretches who cover in hiding like mice

Can 1t be because, instead of cour-
ageous but inexperienced local officers,
they now face trained man-hunters
who'd rather destroy such human YER

instead of going to trial in state courts
where INSCRIPTIONS shysters may trick
dazed jurors into showing mistaken
mercy and where, even though convict

temporary detention in some criminal
coddling retreat with sentimental med

COTTON MILL HAS

Quarters Now Occupied in Build

More Convenience

General offices of the Henderson

were moved yesterday and today to
quarters that will be occupied near
the South Henderson factories of the
Harriet company.
In moving the executive offices
abandoned quarters they had oc-

said, in order to bring the offices in

Schools Will
OnThursday
May Be Delay In
High School, But
Others Will Start
Regular Work

Schools of Henderson and Vance
county will start their fall terms on
Thursday of next week, Superinten-
dent E. M. Rollins said today. The
opening was to have been on Thurs
day of this week but was postponed
because of the lack of equipment for
the Henderson high school and the
other new schools, and also to allow
more time for the completion of re-
pairs and renovations in others.
There is a possibility that the new
Henderson high school may be de-
layed for a week after that date to
await installation Of desks and other
furnishings and fixtures. This was not
absolutely definite today. If the equip
ment should be received immediately.
there was possibility, it was said.
that the opening could be had with
the other schools. If much longer de-
layed, the postponement would have
to become effective.
1t was said, however, that the desks
were expected daily, and that ship
ment had been promised this week by
the manufacturers.
Mr.. Rollins, however, advised par
ents to get their children ready for
the opening on next Thursday, and
said white and colored schools in the
city and county would get under way
at that time.

STORM CUTS DOWN
ELECTRIC SERVICE
Small Sub-Station Put Out
of Commission; Heavy
Rainfall Also

Electric service was curtailed to
some extent to customers in the city
by a severe electric storm that swept
this seciotn late Thursday afternoon
and early evening. A heavy downpour
of rain attended electric the electric
storm.
The sub-station transformers in the
Mobile section of the city were struck
and put out of commission for time,
but workmen made repairs as rapidly
as possible and normal service was
restored today. The trouble at the
sub-station reduced voltage on wires
in the city, and some users of power
were partially put out of commission
and lightsc were dimmed in many in
stances.
Other than this the lightning did no
damage in the city nor in this section,
SO far as had been learned today
The rain came to relieve dry sea-
son of several days duration, and
while not urgently needed, did help
the few crops remaining for harvest
and the early start in fall crops.
The downpour was exceptionally
heavy for a time, but it did not dam
age. Streams were replenished, and
lakes and ponds felt the rise from the
temporary influx of surplus water.

On Monday
Some Is Persons To
Be Employed in All
When Work Is Well
Under Way

Work on the construction or the
new Townsville highway will start
next Monday, it was learned today
when w. M. Burwell, manager of the
Vance County Unemployment OFFICE,
said he had instructions to furnish
ten laborers to report for duty at Z
o'clock Monday morning. Mr.. Bur
well said he would need a good many
more workmen in the next few days
for this same project, and that it
would furnish employment in all to
around rs persons.
Goodwin & Company, of Raleigh,
is the firm holding the contract,
which calls for the expenditure of
some $65000 on a stretch of highway
slightly under seven miles north
ward from the Henderson city limits
toward Townsville, Is miles distant.
From day to day the demand for
additional workers will grow, Mr..
Burwell said, and he expected to be
called on to furnish so or more lab
orers to the contractors. Relief la
Dor is to be used as far as possible
in the contract.
Mr.. Burwell said he expected this
project and that of the underpass con-
struction would absorb the available
workers on his rolls and virtually
wipe out unemployment in Vance
county.
