OLD BANK ASSETS
BID BY M'DUFFEE
Notes and Some Office Fix.
lures Bring $1,O25 at
Court House Sale

Assets of the old Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank, which closed April IS
1924, were sold at public auction at
the court house door here TODAY bv
G. Harold Myrick, liquidating agent
of the State Banking Department
and were bid in by D. P. McDuffee
attorney, for $1,025.
The assets consisted mostly of old
notes, but there was a trifling of Of
tlce fixtures and two adding machines
McDuffee started the bidding for
the assets in lump sum at 1872, and
they were run up to $1,O25, at which
figure the bidding ceased and the
sale was made. Each item was sold
separately, but in the aggregate
amounted to much less than when
sold in lump, and the sale was or
dered complete in the grouping.
The bank was closed more than Il
years ago. In all, it paid depositors
80 percent under the receivership OF
K. L. Burton before he turned the
matter over to the State Banking De
partment.
While there may not be sufficient
assets in cash to pay the remaining
ten percent to the depositors, it con
sidcred certain that an additional dis
tribution will be made before the re-
ownership is finally completed anC
! the procedure fully closed out.

North Carolina Cities and
Towns on Route Called

minimum of $4,000 for the pro-
motion of traffic along u S. No 1
Highway from Maine to Florida is
being asked of cities and towns
through which the great artery OF
travel passes, it was revealed today
Henderson is the first town Of con-
sequence on the highway the motor
lists strikes after crossing the Vir-
ginia line travelling south.
The annual convention of the U
S. No. l Highway Association was
held last month in Fredericksburg
Va, and attended by a Henderson
delegation. The convention was held
here in 1885. A meeting of the asso-
cations executive committee was
held at the Willard hotel in Wash
ington few days ago at which time
the $4,000 was fixed and apportion-
ed to the various cities and towns
along the route. The sum is being
sought Immediately to be available
in early October. 1t represents the
amount considered essential to launch
and carry out an advertising cam
paign adequate for the entire high
way
One of the detectives sought by the
association is the widening of street
ches of the highway at various points,
and one Of these is between Hender-
son and Norlina a distance of 16
miles. The Vance County Board of
Commissioners has already started a
movement to have the North Caro-
lima State Highway & Public Works
Commission widen this stretch OF
road through the use of Federal road
funds.
The executive committee of the AS
ISOLATION is to meet in washington
Saturday of this week to consider and
agree upon an advertising campaign
designed to promote the highway as

BLACK-DRAUGHT
For Clean System Helps
To Prevent Sickness

One of the advantages of Black
Draught is that, if it is taken at the
first disagreeable feeling of consti-
patton, one or two doses usually
bring relief Prompt relief, such as
that, is well worth while. Constipa-
ton is too dangerous to be neglected
"A clean system for health" plan
has saved thousands of people much
useless sickness. They keep a pack
age of Black-Draught in the family
medicine cabinet and take this pure
ly vegetable laxative at the first sign
OF constipation. They say the relief
1t brings is mighty hard to beat.
Flnd out, by trying it, why so
many people prefer Black-Draught
when 1t comes to buying a laxative.

Baptism Rites On
Sunday for Infant

A solemn and beautiful ritual cere-
money of the Greek church was per-
formed Sunday afternoon at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Theo Codas when
their infant daughter was baptized.
Special invitations had been sent to a
large number of friends to attend the
ceremony and most of them we're pre-
Sent. The house, on West Young
street, was crowded for the exercises.
A priest of the Greek church was
present and officiated, but the father
Of the infant also had a large part in
the ceremony, which was impressive
and sacred throughout.
Following the ritualistic service at
the residence, the guests went to the
Busy Bee cafe, on South Garrett
street, which is owned and operated
by Mr.. Codas, and a sumptTous din
ner was served to some so or so.
The occasion was rare and elabor-
ate and was of educational interest
to many of those who gave it their
presence Numerous gifts were sent
to the infant in honor of the chris
tening.

miles from Windsor and one mile
from the hardsurfaced highway, as a
factory site, Matthews told Waynick
and within the next 80 to go DAYS
plans to start construction of a So
100000 pulp plarG. The plant will
make pulp from slash pine, which
will then be made into pasteboard for
containers Later on the company
plans to add $1,00O,0OO paper plant
SO that the finished product will be
produced as well as the pulp, Mat
thews said. But for the time being,
only the pulp will be produced in the
Windsor plant
At present only a dirt road leads
from the state highway to the plant
site and because of the sandy nature
OF the soil there, no dirt road will
stand up under the heavy traffic
which will lead to the plant, since it
will be able to utilize more than 100
truck loads of pulp wood a day, Mat
thews said Accordingly, he asked
Chairman Waynick to ask the high
way commission to build one mile of
hard surface highway from the state
highway to the plant site, to facili-
tate the hauling of pulp wood to the
plant.
Chairman Waynick asked numerous
questions and especially if the plant
was permanent and if it was going to
encourage the orderly marketing of
slash pine and the reforestation of
pine lands, or whether the plant
would take all the pine and then
move on. He was assured by Mat
thews that the plant would be per-
manent and that the company was
going to do extensive reforestation
work in connection with it's activities,
in order to insure continuous sup
ply of pulp wood in the future.

DR.. PARKER GIVES
SCRIPTURE FREELY
Revival Preacher at First
M. E. Church Brings
Gospel Messages

People marvel at the amount of
Holy Scripture they receive at each
sermon delivered by Reverend Rich
ard p. Parker in the revival at the
First Methodist Episcopal church. Mr..
Parker knows the Bible in both Eng
lish and Spanish and gives Biblical
reasons for all his points and argu-
ments in setting forth the better life.
1t is refreshing to know what God
in His word has to say about these
things and that is truly the type of
preaching Henderson is hearing twice
daily.
DR.. Parker spoke Tuesday morning
on personal work and Tuesday night
a ringing call to the church to awake
and put on her beautiful garments
of righteousness. The attendance con-
tinues to increase and day by day the
spiritual powe- of the meeting is
deepened.
Every one is invited to attend, the
meeting service is 1890 and 1880 each
night Good music, gospel hymns and
Biblical sermons. Come with us and
we will do thee good" Numbers 1929.
1T is time to seek the Lord" Hosea
IO:12
The motto of the meeting is as
follows:
Lord lay some soul upon my heart
And Love that soul through me,
And may 1 nobly do my part,
To win that soul for Thee.

Communication For

and Davis would have had to return
to prison to complete his sentence.
Now, however, that the parole has
been terminated by Communication,
Davis has the same status as if he
had completed his term and cannot
now be returned to prison for any
reason whatever in connection with
this particular conviction. This ac-
ton also gives Davis the opportunity
to go into court to seek the restitu-
ton of his citizenship and right to
vote.
Davis entered prison here October
26, 1882, and was paroled April 10,
1885, after serving approximately
2 IL years of maximum sentence
of from five to seven years, the rec
ords show.
There is nothing unusual about the
ton, according to Commissioner Gill,
who explains that it is now the prac-
tice of his office to end paroles by
this method whenever it becomes ap-
parent that paroled prisoner has
completely reformed and no longer
needs the restraining effect of a pa
role.
Whenever a paroled prisoner so
behaves himself that we are convinc-
ed he has reformed and that it is
not necessary to hold the threat of
revoking parole over him to keep
him going straight, we end the pa
role with communication" Gill said.
This action relieves the prisoner of
having to report to county welfare
officers each month and puts them
on the same footing as ad ischarged
prisoner"
