There was no report from the South

It is understood there is still OPP

desire to do so, but all who expect

so that the playground supervisors
will be able to start their classes

Rain Falls, With
Outlook for More
Precipitation Yet

Showers fell in portions of Vance
county, including Henderson, TODAY to
relieve droughty conditions, and came
as measurable help to growing
crops, already far behind schedule for
the season. The outlook in earlv aft
ernoOn was for additional rain during
the day or tonight.
Two good rains came last week. one
early in the week and the other on
Friday, which tended to break the
drought in nearly all parts of the
county. But dry weather since then.
accompanied by high temperatures,
had resulted in conditions which call
ed for additional precipitation.
Today's downpour, which was brief
at best, reached several sections of
the county, but reports had not been
received from all sections, and it wa.
not learned whether or not every
community benefited.
Planting of tobacco has virtually
been finished, and some of it looks
fairly good in sections where the rain
was more generous. Much of it died,
however, during the long dry season
and had to be re-planted in places.

CURR|N DIES AND
WHEELER IS HELD
Buck Shot Wounds Prove
Fatal to South Hender-
son Man Yesterday

Melvin Currin died at Maria Par
ham hospital yesterday afternoon at
S o'clock of gun shot wounds alleged
to have been inflicted by Tuck Wheel
err as Currin was walking in South
Henderson to his home.
Wheeler was taken into custody sew
eral hours after the shooting and has
been held in Vance county Jail pend
ing the outcome of Currin's injuries
He will probably be charged with
murder.
Moody Hobbs, said to be an eye wit
ness to the tragedy is also being held,
according to Sheriff j. E. Hamlet, as
a material witness.
When Wheeler was taken into Gus
tody he was armed with a shot gun
and was carrying buckshot shells in
his pocket. Currin had several buck
shot wounds in his abdomen, and
there was little hope at any time at
the hospital for his recovery.
Sheriff j. E. Hamlet could not adj
vance any cause for the shooting 9th
er than maybe there was ill feeling
between the men, although he under
stood that they were friends.
Currin's body was taken to a LOUIS
burg mourtary to be prepared for
burial, the details of which were not
learned here today.
