women and children would be endangered.
Pitmder was game for men. So we camped
for the night nearby, but out Of sight Of
the Saba tribe.
In the afternoon of the next day our
scouts located camels and mares camped On
the march of the migrating tribe. We split
into two parties. One group went On foot to
steal some fine horses. The other, Of which
was member. rode to ambush five young
herde1s guarding flock Of more than a hum
dred tmee-year-o old race cames.
The argument was short. 1t was the five
herders against twelve of US. The herders
fred over our heads with faint hope that we
might be frightened. To have killed few Of
Us would have meant the annihilation Of an
of them therefore, that tactic was barred
by the good sense which had made the hu-
name rules of the game.
We rushed on, and they fed with their
camels. But it was a race which they were Ger
tain to lose, for they had been taken by
surprise and we had mounted our horses. II
they had been prepared, or. if they had had
more men guarding the camels, or, if they had
been able to join the herd with the main body
of the tribe ahead then we would not have
dared attack. Our eleven-hundred mile ride
would have been for nothing; we would have
lost the game.
We caught up with the shepherds and
forced them to dismomt. Our leader ad-
dressed them. He gave his name and the
name of his tribe despite the fact that the
colors on our coats identified US. This was
challenge to the Saba to raid US and see what
they could do.
Then our men singled out the strongest

crew that came suddenly upon the first camp
of the Saba tribe. Fatigue vanished when we
saw how safe our opponents felt. They were
off-guard, for they believed that the nearest
tribe was seven hundred miles away. Their
camp fires in their black tents glowed like
torches in caves.
But tradition was firm that no attack

STILL ILLEGAL TO
TRANSPORT LIQUOR
Attorney General Interprets
Law for Counties Still
Rated Dry
Daily Dispatch Bureaus.
In The Sir walter Hotel.
II MI

Raleigh. MAY Sit is still illegal
and a violation of the burlington Act
to transport as much-Or as little
as one pint of liquor, tax-paid or
bootleg" in 83 counties in North
Carolina according to Attorney Cen
eral A. A. F. Seawell, who has ruled
that while the burlington Act was re-
pealed for the II counties now operat-
ing "a liquor stores under the Pas
quotank and New Hanover county Ii
quor acts passed by the 1895 General
Assembly, this act still applies in all
the other counties.
1--WE have consistently construed
the law to be that the burlington Act
has not been repealed and hence is
still in effect in 83 counties" Attor-
ney General Seawell said today.
This means that it is illegal and a
violation of the burlington Act to
transport even as little as one pint
of liquor from a wet county into a
dry county, from wet state into any
of the SO dry counties in North Car
DINA, or to transport or carry about
any liquor whatever within a dry
county. So while thousands of resid-
ents of dry counties visit wet coun-
ties and buy legal liquor legally from
their county liquor stores, they vio-
late the, law if and when they trans
port this liquor back into dry coun-
ties, it is pointed out. 1t is likewise
illegal to transport any liquor, legal
or otherwise from a wet state, such
as Virginia or South Carolina, into
any of the dry counties in North Car
Dina.
There is a provision in the Pasquo-
tank liquor law, however, which per-
mits any persons to bring into wet
counties not more than four quarts
per person from other wet states,
provided this is legal, Government
tax-paid liquor. 1t has been the be-
lief of many people that this provis-
ion applied to every county in the
State, provided the liquor was tax
paid and purchased from county Ii
quor stores or from legal liquor stores
in other states. But the Attorney Gen
eral says this is not the case.

placed the sales tax on meals in
hotels and restaurants. Mr.. Hoey
is misinfOrmed, however. When the
sales tax on meals in cafes and res
taurants was proposed in 1895, Mr..
Lumpkin and I led the fight in the
House against it,
DR.. Mcdonald, however, did not
deny that he voted for the bill, but
said only that "Mr. Lumpkin and I
led the fight in the House against
it," it is being pointed out here to-
day at both the Hoey and Graham
headquarters.
Lumpkin Was Absent.
The record also shows that Mr.
.Lumpkin did not vote on House Bill
1860 on either second or third read
ing, indicating that he was absent
and hence could not have led the
fight against the biz, as Dr. McDon-
aid claims. Several of the members
present when the bill was under dis
cussion maintain that DR.. Mcdonald
not only voted for the bill twice but
also made a speech for it. DR.. Nc
Donalds colleague from Forsyth
county, Representative Hal Alspaugh
voted against the bill on second read
ing and paired against it on third,
the record shows.
It is further pointed out here today
that the bill originated in the house
as "spite bill' because the Senate
had killed the Statewide liquor bill
which the House hadp assedd and es-
pecially against Senators Hall John
ston of Asheville and Ralph H. Ram
sey, Jr., of Brevard, because they vot-
ed against the house bill. Knowing
that both of these senators were from
resort sections, the vets in the house
devised this bill to increase the Ii
cense tax and to levy the sales tax
on hotel rooms and meals. Though
maintaining he was a dry" Dr. Nc

also that page 800 of the House Jour-
nal shows that he voted again the
next day for the bill when it came up
for final passage on third reading.
II have read with interest the de-
NAL by DR.. Mcdonald of the state
ment in my Hendersonville Speech
Mr.. Hoey said in his statement. my
charge was that he not only voted to
impose the sales tax on rooms at
hotels, but also on the meals served
in the hotels and my criticism was
directed at his inconsistency in VIC
lently denouncing the sales tax on the
daily bread of the people of the State
and then voting to tax, not only on
rooms, but on meals in all hotels in
the State and requiring that this
sales tax be passed on to the custom
ers."

pages 7S8 and 800, with the closing
shot: This is the record. did not
make it. He CDR. McDonald) did,"
Graham Even Hotter.
The statement issued by Sandy Gra-
nam was along the same line, but was
regarded as containing much hotter
language. After calling attention to
the statement issued by DR.. McDon-
aid sin his usual blatant STYLE, and
citing the record as contained on
pages 1888 and 800 of the House Jour-
nal, said:
THAT this was not mere slip or
oversight on the part of the good pro-
fessor is shown by the fact that when
the same measure, House Bill 1860,
came up on May 6, 1895, for final pas
sage on third reading, Representative
Ralph w. Mcdonald Of Forsyth coun-
ty again voted aye. The Mcdonald
statement of Sunday is in line with
the rest Of his campaign-a strange
mixture of half truths, deliberately
aimed to deceive the voters"
In his statement issued in Green's
boro Sunday night and printed in the
Monday morning newspapers, DR..
Mcdonald said:>

Angus Rocket. April Is was the
date. There's no doubt in my mind
that he killed him. Ward himself
admits it, although he didn't on the
witness stand. 1t seems that in his
youth Ward was subject to terrible
RACES. His temper was awful.
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-05-05

Rocket was one Of his best friends.
"On the night Of April Is Rocket
said something that annoyed him
he doesn't remember just what It
was. now. but he flew into one Of his
terrific tantrums. ran into the bed
room where he kept loaded gun and
shot Rocket twice through the
heart. He denied it at the trial, said
he didn't remember anything about
it. But later, when knew him bet.
ter. he told me he must have killed
Angus. The bullet found in Rockets
heart was from his revolver. Dur
ing these RACES. he forgot everything
he did.
I'm not telling you this to vindi-
cate the man. He committed MUIR
der and therefore he's a murderer.
After he had shot Rocket, he ran
into the street. That's where the
police found him later. wandering
around in a daze. The dead body Of
Angus was found in the living room
OF Wards apartment. Neighbors had
reported hearing the shots, and the
police rushed to the scene. 1t was
a clear case Of circumstantial evil
dence.-
Ward never displayed a sign Of
this murderous temper while he was
at this prison. That one experience
stopped his RACES forever. A shock
sometimes will entirely change a man
that way. I've watched him closely
for years, and especially since
started working for his parole. In
deed, I set deliberate traps for him,
thinking to arouse his temper. To
see for myself if Ward really was
cured Of his tantrums. It was neces-
sary to do it, otherwise I wouldn't
have felt safe in recommending his
parole. His brother Dow has been
out to see me. He's anxious, too, for
his brothers release. Has tried for
years to get him out But we've had
no luck until lately. Relatives Of
Rocket suppose-they are very in
turn.

ernor signed Wards release. When
told him about it-you'll be sur
prised at this. Keyes-he didn't want
to go. Said he'd rather stay here,
and do just as he was doing. il
would give him a small salary for
his work. He, himself, was afraid of
contact with the world again. Afraid
Of himself. Some men are when
they've been in prison as long as
Ward I ordered him to go, finally,
but he still insisted on staying over
night Sunday 80 that he could finish
a task I'd given him earlier in the
week." He kanded~ Keyes several
gallery pictures of Ward Van Every.
They had been taken years ago, and
showed that in his youth Ward had
been q handsome man. There was
little resemblance to Dow. In the
eyes, perhaps; resemblance about
the mouth. That was all.

VOTE 4 TO l FOR
BOOST OF TAX

By vote of four to one,
Irrigation District directors
Saturday morning set the
annual tax rate at $4.65.
The rise over the $2.40
rate of last year was necessary
because of drastic reductions in
assessed valuation, Laguna Dam
contract payments and the 100
per cent interest payments due
next year on bonds and warrants.
While the rate was increased be-
cause of the valuations, actually
the taxpayer will pay but rs per
cent more than this year, district
officials explained.
Fireworks, characterizing similar
sessions in years gone by, failed
to materialize. The meeting was
startingly brief and Unexpectedly

The resolution setting the $465
rate was read. Director Charles

and his motion was seconded by

George w. Norris of Nebraska last

The elderly NebraSkan, who has
served as an adviser to the pres

as a Republican, Norris broke with
his party in 1923 to support Alfred
E. Smith and in 1882 campaigned
for Mr.. Roosevelt.
Last night, in a speech he charg-

N. Y. A. to Help
Needy Students

Central high school and Junior
college students in need of financial
assistance may be able to- obtain
aid through the National Youth
administration program which will
operate this year as last, said Guy
A. Weakley, high school and junior
college principal.
While the amount of money avail
able is limited and assistance can
be given only in certain number
of cases, still, declared Weakley,
no student should stay away from
school for lack of funds.
Junior college students will be
given application blanks upon en-
rollment Monday if they wish them,
Dean Frank l.. Shepherd having
these blanks. High school students
may make application through the
office.
Announcement was made Satur-
day that the high school cafeteria
would not be able to serve students
due to illness of employees. Since
that time arrangement has been
made for assistance from the Wilson
school cafeteria SO that students
may be served Monday.
