AVIATION ARMY'S
CAMP A|GN CLOSES
$1,716 Raised, $673 of
Which Is Cash and ST.
O42 in Pledges Made

Adjutant Joseph Willett, corps,
commander of The Salvation Army,
announced today the close of the
Army's annual Home Service Appeal
campaign with a total of $1,716.44
raised in cash and pledges out of a
total of $500 as the budget sought
for the coming year.
Of the total raised, $673.94 was in
cash and $1,042.50 in pledges.
The campaign was launched early
in December and virtually came to a
close a week or ten days ago. Pres
sure of duties in preparing for the
Christmas work of the Army prevent
ed a final accounting of items until
now.
The amount raised in cash and
pledges was about in line with the ag
gregate a year ago, when the budget
was also the same as this season.
Pledges are to be paid at intervals
over the year, and the amount would
go long way toward making the
burden lighter for the Army's work
ers if settlements were made prompt
ly, it was said.

MANDATORY TERMS
ON DRUNK DRIVERS
Sentiment for That in Leg
islature; Some Judges
Ignore Law
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
" l. q RAST[ ERVHT

-
Raleigh, Dec. 29.-Compulsory Jail
reckless drivers endangering life, is
not only favored by most of the
motorists of the State, who replied re-
Gently to QUESTIONABLE sent out by
the Carolina Motor Club but by the
State Highway Patrol and the High
way Safety Division as we'll. Captain
Charles D. Farmer, of the highway
patrol and Director Arthur Fulk, of
the highway safety division, are both
convinced that more severe sentences
would do more to reduce accidents
than any other one thing and would
like to see the new General Assem-
bly,, which meets next week, tighten
up the traffic laws and impose
heavier penalties.
There is considerable doubt in legal
circles here, however, as to whether
the General Assembly can enact laws
imposing mandatory Jail sentences or
mandatory fines. And even if it is
legal for the General Assembly to fix
minimum fines and sentences for GER
tain violations, there is much doubt
as to whether the judges would pay
any attention to them.
Judges Ignore Law.
At the present time there are many
judges who ignore the law imposing
minimum fine Of $50 and cost for
drunken driving, it is pointed out, and
who either suspend the fine upon pay
ment of costs or impose a fine of less
than $50, frequently only $40 or is
for this offense, although the law
makes it mandatory that a fine of $50
and costs be imposed. The judges take
the position that they are supreme
and that the legislature exceeds its
authority and invades the judicial de-
partment of the State government in
attempting to set up any mandatory
sentence for any particular offense
1t is further pointed out that most of
the judges are elected, and hence can
| not be removed except by the people
in a regular election, with the result
that the judges who become most
popular usually are reelected-and
! that light sentences tend to make a
| judge popular and hence increase his
| chances for reelection.
So while laws making Jail sentences
mandatory for drunken and reckless
driving might be enacted, there is nc
way to insure their observance by the
courts, most Observers here agree.

35-2O CLUB WORK
IS D|SCONT|NUED
Organization Has Done
Much Work for Promo
ton of Tobacco Mart

Activities of the Henderson 1920
Club have been discontinued for the
season with the close of the Hender-
son tobacco market over the holidays,
and with only a few more weeks OF
the season as a whole to run. The
market will reopen Tuesday, January
10, along with the larger markets of
the Middle and Old Belt and will pro-
badly operate for two to three more
weeks.
j. r. McDuffie, who was sales SUI
pervisor of the market the past two
seasons, and at the same time mana
ger of the 1920 CLUES operations, has
discontinued his affiliations in both
respects and is preparing to return
to the fertilizer business, in which he
is district manager for one of the
leading concerns selling its products
in this territory.
The 1920 Club was financed by cash
donations of merchants, and made a
strong bid for tobacco in the same
territory from which Henderson has
drawn in other seasons, as well as in
new and more distant sections.
Although the seasons sales will not
be as large as those last year, the
decline will not be very great, and
nothing like in proportion to the slash
in the years crop by reason of I'M
favorable growing conditions in the
late spring and early summer. The
intensive activity of this organiza-
ton, with the aid of the tobacco men
themselves and individual merchandise
ing groups of the city, resulted in
lifting season sales far above the pro-
portionate size of the years CROP
At the close of the market for the
holidays, sales amounted to a little
less than 100000 pounds, and little
more than one million pounds below
the sales to the Christmas season last
year. Tobacco men hope for total
sales that may reach as high as 2,O00,-
900 pounds after resumption of the
market next month, which, if attained
would leave the season totals about
three million pounds under last years
high figures.
The 1920 Club had as it's goal the
selling of 35,00O,0OO pounds of tobacco
and20,0 900 bales Of cotton here for the
season.

HENDERSON, |. &R.
ASSETS ARE SOLD
$3.50 of Papers Knocked
Down for $50 Cash at
Recorders Sale

All Of the remaining assets Of the
once prosperous and powerful Hen
derson Loan & Real Estate Company
were sold for cash at public auction
here today by Joel T. Cheatham, re-
ceiver of the company, for the miserly
sum of $50.
K L. Burton bid in the offerings,
with a face value of $4,000, and paid
for them only the meagre sum at
which he made the highest bid.
The Henderson Loan & Real Estate
Company was organized here nearly
third of a century ago by r. S. Nc
Coin, and for many years prospered
to the extent that it was one of the
citys outstanding business institu-
lions.
But the depression made it's inroads
upon it. Finally, it's president and
founder suddenly disappeared on De
cenNber %, three days before Christ
mas, in 1882, and never has been di-
rectly heard from since. With his dis
appearance and no likelihood, as then
thought, that he would ever return,
the company was placed in receiver
ship, with Mr.. Cheatham as the re-
ceiver. He has since been administer
ing on it's affairs, and before Christ
mas made a payment to the preferred
claimants.
The assets disposed of today con-
sisted mainly of accounts owed to the
company, and which once were con-
sidered good, but which have been
almost depleted in value by the pass
ing of time.
Today's receivership sale was held
at the court house door.

January COURT IS
TO BEGIN MONDAY
Judge Henry Grady Sche-
duled To Preside Over
Forthcoming Session
WILL LAST ONE WEEK
Only Criminal Cases Will Be Tried
and Docket Is Crowded; May
Consume Entire Week
for Its Disposal

A one-week session of Vance Su-
perior Court will open here on next
Monday, January 4, with Judge Henry
A. Grady, of Clinton, scheduled to
preside. Solicitor w. H. S. Burgwyn,
of Northampton county, will prose-
cute the criminal docket.
The term will be for only one week
and for the trial of criminal cases
only. The docket is heavily congested
and business to be transacted will be
sufficient to occupy virtually the en-
tire week, it is thought. There will be
a couple of homicide cases, together
with numerous others Of less serious
nature.
One reason for the congestion is
that the docket was by no means
cleared at the October term, and at
that time there was talk of a special
term to try criminal cases. Not even
all of the Jail cases were disposed
of at that time.
It will be the first time Judge Grady
has held court here in long while.
He will be in the third judicial dis
trict. in which Vance county is locat-
ed, for the entire first half of 1887
which means that he will preside at
the three terms of Vance Superior
Court to be held during that period,
unless for some reason he is trans
ferred or effects an exchange.
A permanent" six-months grand
jury will be constituted at the COM
ing January term to serve for all
three terms of the first half of the
year The other two terms will be
held in March and June and each will
be for two weeks, with the first week
to be for criminal and the second for
civil matters in each instance.
