Automobile Injuries

Mrs. J. w. Morgan, wife of a former
pastor of the First Baptist church

in Durham of injuries sustained some
six weeks ago on July Is when the
automobile in which she and her hus-
band were riding was in collision with

manslaughter. Mrs. Morgan suffered
broken back ando ther severe in
juries, and her husband, now pastor
of the Baptist church at Beaufort.
was severely injured, but is recover
ing.
The bond of Weathers is the same
in amount as that he was required to
give at the time Of the accident, the
charges at that time, however, being
only careless and reckless driving,
The bond was first $500, then was
raised to $4,000 when it was learned
Mrs. Morgan's injuries were critical.
but subsequently was cut to $4,000 and
then to $4,000.
The husband of the deceased is a
brother of Rev. S. L. Morgan, pastor
of the Creedmoor Baptist church and
also of Rock Spring Baptist church in
this county. He succeeded the other
Morgan as pastor in Henderson, and
left here some ten or IL years ago.
Last week Rev. S. L. Morgan wrote
an article in the Dispatch about the
tragedy, in which he expressed the
fear and belief that Mrs. Morgan
never could recover.

WAREHOUSE SALES
PLAN IS DEFERRED
Another Meeting To Be
Held Next Saturday Night
To Reach Decision

The plan of sales for the tobacco
season here will not be definitely
adopted by warehousemen until a
meeting is held next Saturday even
ing, it was learned today following a
meeting of the warehouse group last
Saturday night.
At that time the question was dis
cussed at considerable length, and a
number of problems arose in the dis
cussion. Much of the difficulty re-
volved around the idea of the splitting
of one or two warehouses into two.
Whenever an agreement is reached
next Saturday night. sales card will
be worked up and printed as guide
for the sales crews and for the in
formation of growers and others.
The meeting of the warehouSemen
followed one of the executive COM
mittee of the Henderson 500 Club. at
which plans for promoting the inter-
ests of the markets here were dis
cussed. Several members of the COM
mittee, however, were absent from the
city.
The tobacco auction season here
opens two weeks hence, on Tuesday,
September %, along with other Middle
Belt markets. and final plans for the
season are now being made.
j. r. McDuffie, who is again to be
sales supervisor this season, is di-
recting the promotional activities for
the market, and is operating from
temporary quarters in the Dispatch
office. until permanent quarters can
be had about the latter part of next
week.

SALARIED
JOBSASSAILED
IN VIRGINIA
BY a staff Correspondent

by SIaLt sCOrEespOnuehS
RICHMOND, Feb. 1.-TWO
measures, both of which have wide
spread political significance, are
scheduled to be offered in the Sen
ate today.
One is a proposal to amend the
act setting up the compensation
board, a body that has put county
officers on a salary instead of a
fee basis of pay. This amendment,
offered by Senator G. E. Heller, OF
Bedford, Is aimed directly at e.
r. Combs, chairman of the board
and the States comptroller.
Draws Two Salaries
Senator Heller pointed out Mr..
CoombS receives $4,000 as comp
troller and $2,4 400 as chairman of
the compensation board. The
other two members Of the board,
the Statesauditor and the commits
sioner of taxation, receive no sal
aries. Senator Heller seeks to
amend the act 20 that no State Of
ficial can collect salary for one
office and also as chairman OF
the compensation board.
The second bill, of which Sena-
tor Leonard G. Muse, of Roanoke
City, is the patron, would prohibit
any employe Of the Alcoholic Bev-
erageS Board from soliciting votes
for or against any candidate. The
State liquor stores are closed by
law on election day and Senator
Muse, in explaining his bill, said
employees in Roanoke were used to
round up" voters and take them
to the polls. He suggested they
probably did some "politicing" en-
route and he said he wanted to see
the A. B. c. act given an oppor-
tunity to succeed and not to have
the State liquor stores become
political clubs"
Charge Is Denied
The charge that the stores have
become political clubs drew fire
from r. Mccall Frazier, member
Of the A. B. C. board in charge
of personnel. Mr.. Frazier insisted
the board is trying to keep its
organization free of political taint.
The $37,438,217 appropriation
bill for the next two years will be
debated in the House today under
the head of special and continuing
order of business. Thus. many con-
troversial measures are showed
into the background with but
three weeks remaining Of the 60
day session.
The Senate will go to work TO-
day on the House proposal to
amend the A. B. C. act to dis
tribute 5 per cent Of the A. B. c.
store profits in the communities
having stores before any other
division is made.

BY THE BONUS EDITOR
Conversion Of "baby bonds" into
cash-when a veteran receives his
bonds in return for relinquishing
all claims in his adjusted-service-
certificate-will undoubtedly be q
simple matter.
This assurance has come from
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines. Vet
erans' Administrator, although the
exact methods by which the holder
of bonds may turn them into
money has not yet been deter
mined.
Redeemable June Is
The bonds will be redeemable
after June Is. They can be cashed
only by the veteran himself. at
places to be designated in the fu-
ture by the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. It is probable Federal Off
ces Of various kinds throughout
the country-or possibly banks as
well-may be among the places at
which the securities may be re-
deemed.
A few veterans, writing for infor-
nation to the Bonus Editor Of
The Washington Times, have
asked If the bonds may be cashed
in foreign countries, by recipients
either living or visiting abroad.
This point is as yet undecided.
although it is possible that Ameri-
can embassies, legations and con-
sulates-or military stations-may
be made redemption stations, eS-
pecially for veterans who are still
in the Army, Navy or Marines 10
Gated abroad.
Told To Keep Them
Veterans have been strongly ad-
vised, however, both by President
Roosevelt and General Hines, to
retain the bonds as an investment.
General Hines recently declared:
my urgent advice to veterans
Is to hold these bonds so that
they may serve as nestegg be-
cause they represent the safest
possible investment and an at
tractive one. To those veterans
whose need Is so pressing as to
require immediate funds, I would
advise that only so many bonds
as may be necessary to meet the
actual need be cashed.
"The bonds which will be sent
to you in exchange for your ad-
justed-Nervice certificate win al
ways be worth the face value
and, If you hold them, they will
be worth more than their face
value after the first year be-
cause they bear interest at the
rate'Of 3 per cent year and the
value increases each year to
June. 1S45."

is even true that new coaches have
been known to deliver in their first
year. However, heavy losses through
graduation, relatively weak schedules.
schedules against too many of the
leaders who are almost bound to win,
coaching changes, and such factors,
singly or in combination, should spell
disaster for many of the leaders Of

Buckeyes Buck Tough Schedule.

ONO STATE will face its schedule
without Conner Jones, one of the
greatest centers ever developed in the
Big Ten, and several other stalwarts.
However, should the Buckeyes 20
through this years consignment un-
scathed, or even if tied by Notre Dame
or Pittsburgh, it seems quite probable
that observers Of the grid game will
raise general clamor for this team
as deserving of top ranking.
Auburn will have one Of the
greatest lines of the country. Piv-
oting in that line will be Walter
Gilbert, q senior, whose chances for
aH-America center should be great
Auburn has lost Peterson, q near all
America last year, but Jimmie Hitch
COCK, who was Q unanimous choice

points to his brother Billy as a more
than adequate substitution.
The Plainsmen, who face an ex.
tremely strong group OF Southeastern
opponents this year, also will meer
an improved Detroit team and one
of Santa Clara's best in years.
Pittsburgh, particularly If it can
hurdle Ohio State and Nebraska, OF
hold those two teams to close deci-
sions, faces another great year on the
grtdiron. Randour at half and two
others constitute her only losses in

TEXAS CHRISTIANS line will be
without the great Darrell Lester
at center, but Jack Title, who SUBJ

more than well in holding down the
pivot position. Also worthy of men.
tion is the fact that Singing" Sam

Notre Dame, which has lost Bill

nearly always manages to come back

Jimmy Phelan will put his team in

attempts at disbursement elsewhere

Louisiana State actually had three
or four teams of national champion
