4-COUNTY GROUP IS
ASKING ROAD FUND
$745,046 Repayments By
State Sought in Hender-
son Territory

The fOur-cOunty group of counties
surrounding Henderson, and includ-
ing Vance, Granville, Warren and
Franklin, are asking a total of $745,-
O46 in refunds from the State of
North Carolina if the 1887 General
Assembly votes to reimburse the coun
ties of the State for money they spent
on public highways before the State
itself took over the immense task.
Petitions have been filed with a
special legislative committee now in
vestigating the refunds proposal a
mounting to $50, $40, 1873. While no one
expects all of these petitions to be
honored, there is a possibility that
some refunds may be made. It is ex-
pected that pressure will be so great
the legislature that an adjustment of
some sort will be undertaken if the
finances can be provided.
The movement had its inception in
the 1885 legislature, when A counties
asked refunds amounting to $8,451,
Ill When the committee now func-
tioning was named recently by Gov
ernor Ehringhaus to frame a report
for the next legislature, as authoriz-
ed by that body last year, notice was
sent to all the 100 counties asking
them to file any claims they anticipat-
ed making.
No one of the four-county units here
was included in the Al counties that
sought refunds in the last legislature
Petition has been made by these
counties for refunds by the next leg
islature as follows: Vance, $3.50, 696
Granville, $33O849; Warren, $25,OOO
Franklin, $29,501.

of railroad workers. A pile driver

William and Garnett streets.
Already buildings on the Galnett
street side that are in the path of
the construction program are being
demolished. Excavations will be start

cleared.
The underpass has been an issue lo-

though it proved futile, as II began
after the project had been approved

not regard him greatly predisposed
to the ABC stores, despite their pre-
sence in his county. He could have
brought Illuminating testimony to the

the belief that the II counties in

visited by the commission must be
read as containing his faith in this

Governor Ehringhaus probably will
name a successor from Boston where
his excellency is attending the AM

take fast work. One of the men i'm
mediately suggested for this duty was
Senator Julian Allsbrook, of Halifax
county, who helped to enact the Pas
quotank bill and defended it in his
unsuccessful campaign for renomina-

be held Friday in Wilson and the
third Saturday in Wilmington. These

the first to vote them in.

Nice Of Maryland and 200 others
were passengers when 1t collided
with the freighter, Golden Har-
vest, in the bay a week ago, was on
the wrong side Of the channel at
the time Of the accident, it was
charged by members Of the
freighter crew at a hearing here
yesterday.
The hearing, before the Federal
Board of Steamboat Inspectors, IS
being held to determine the cause
of the crash. Today, members Of
the crew Of the State Of Virginia
will take the stand to present
their views as to the reason for the
collision, in which both ships were
damaged considerably, but none of
the passengers were seriously in
jured.
On the stand yesterday, Capt.
Jesse Foster, pilot aboard the Col
den Harvest, testified:
II should say the chief cause
Of the collision was the inbound
ships being on the wrong side
of the channel. There is nothing
else.
1--WE sounded two whistles and
continued ON our course without
q change in speed. The Virginia
answered with two whistles and
continued on the west side Of
the channel without altering her
course. We sounded two more
blasts which were also answered.
"The State of Virginia sud-
denly swung to her right across
our bow and then for the first
time we could see her red light
on her left side. We swung hard
to our right and reversed the
engines but could not avoid the
