sharge that "big-time racketeers"
have invaded Pennsylvania huge
bootleg coal mining industry was
made yesterday by burly Michael j.
Hartneady. ex-digger who is State
secretary of mines.
He sngrily demanded that "the
rackets be driven from the coal fields"
Secretary Hsrtneady said per-
Eonal investigation disclosed that the
"racketeers have set up their own
coal plants" He asserted:
"The same money interests which
bootlegged whisky and beer in prohi-
bition days and made millions. now
virtually have taken over a big part
OF the industry"
Is Depression Industry.
Bootleg mining, born of depres-
sion, has taken thousands of jobless
miners into abandoned coal holes.
they work on their own, selling direct
or to truckers.
The secretary of mines explained
that New York, Maryland and Vir-
ginia rings" are sending in fleets OF
modern trucks, hauling materials to
build washeries, to clean the coal,
and are buying coal from the free
lance miners
Racketeers Get Money.
1.-THE miner himself is not making
fortune" Mr.. Hartneady continued.
He receives only about So day for
risking his life in a muddy hole.
It's the racketeer, who buys the coal
from him and competes with the
regular industry, who is getting the
money"
Gov. George H. Earle has several
commissions investigating bootleg
mining. He repeatedly has suggested
State control or naturalization of
the industry might provide q solu-
ton. He contemplstes calling q spe-
cial session of the Legislature to deal
with the problem soon after the first

WELFARE DEPT.
PROGRAM TOLD
Randolph Points to Long
Routine Before Claims
Can Be Acted on

Pointing out that a well-defin-
ed amount of routine work, which
requires time, is necessary before
anyone's request for help can be
taken up by the local welfare de-
partment for consideration, A. G.
Randolph, superintendent of
county welfare today issued a
statement saying that despite its
full sympathy with those who are
applying for old age assistance or
aid to dependent children can not
hurry matters by repeated calls
at that office. The only result of
these calls is to delay the nee
essary work of that office before
other cases can be acted on, he
stated.
Telling of the work of the
county welfare department, Mr..
Randolph today gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"In its wish to accomplish more
efficient and speedy service for
all its clients, the county welfare
department has adopted a def
mite schedule for each days
work.
"The hours between S:45 and
1890 on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday of each week have been
set aside for applicants for old
age assistance and applicants for
aid to dependent children to come
to the office for interviews with
our case workers.
"The afternoons of these days
and the entire time on other days
has been allotted to making the
necessary field Investigations and
doing the necessary office work.
every few of the people who
come to the welfare department
seem to have any idea at all of
the value of time and of the fact
that our caseworkers and other
members of the office force are
always very hard pressed for the
full use of their time in trying
to give courteous and efficient

CHURCHES
ASSOCIATION
Baptists Move to Simplify
and Facilitate Their
Work in Area

Moderator M. L. Walker of the
Carolina Baptist Association an
nounces a re-districting of the
churches of the association into
groups so us to simplify and IA
cilitate the work of the organize
ton, according to resolution pre-
sented by the promotion commit
tee at the last session of the body
Of Baptists.
The reorganization was suggest
ed by reason of the confusion that
came about over a lack OF uni.
formity of the church groups, said
Mr.. Walker. He illustrated by ex-
planning that the promotion work
of the association was conducted
under the three departments OF
Sunday school, Baptist Training
union and the women's missionary
work.
Each of these three departments
had the churches grouped and
numbered without regard to the
other work. Under the new ar
rangement the groups are uniform
in territory and number of district
groups assigned.
The Rev. B. E. Wall was elect
ed by the association as chairman
Of the promotion committee, which
consists of himself, Rev. j. w.
Kesterson and Rev. A. I. Justice.
Donnie L. Wilkie is chairman of
the Sunday school division; Yer
non Henderson is chairman of the
Baptist Training union, and Mrs.
o. j. Smith heads the association
work of the Woman's Missionary
society.
The resolution authorized the
associations organization of pas
tors and workers to group the
churches. The heads of the de-
partments, Rev. Mr.. Wall, Rev. A.
/. Justice, Rev. j. w. Kesterson
and Mr.. Walker conferred and
grouped the churches as outlined
below.
Mr.. Walker, moderator of the
association, says the workers ex-
pect to hold group meetings this
fall so as to carry the work Of
the association into every Baptist
church in the bounds Of the or
panization. The divisional heads
of the three departments of the
work will maintain their own or

CITY TAX RATE.
WILL REMAIN
.UN
General Fund Levy Lower
ed, Debt Service Levy
up Nine Cents
SCHOOL LEVY IS 8
CENTS OF TOTAL $l.60

A city tax rate Of SLIGO on each
500 of property valuation-the
same as for the last tour years
was fixed last night ry the board
of city commissioners.
Based on a valuation Of 81, 1885,
555, the levy is calculated to raise
total revenues Of $1l9,l16.4O, ap-
portioned as follows:
General fund-levy, II cents
revenue, $4,000.
Debt Service-levy, 81 cents ;
revenue, 100000.
City school property mainten-
ance--levy, 8 cents; revenue, $5,-
985.
While the tax levy remains the
same as for 1936-'37, the general
fund levy was changed from 80
to II cents, the debt service levy
from 70 to 81 cents, and the
school levy from 10 to 8 cents.
The debt service increase is in
keeping with an agreement in the
city's debt refunding program to
levy tax calculated to raise $780,
900, r. R. Arledge, city clerk and
tax collector, said.
With a countrywide tax rate of
$1.03 for 1937-'38, the combined
levy thus becomes 1898.

A plea for "unimpeachable cit

heritage of unsullied American
ism" was voiced here yesterday by
DR.. N. D. Zimmerman of Clarks-
dale, Miss, evangelist, who is con-
Quoting a series of services at the
First Baptist church, in an ad-
dress to the Kiwanis club.
DR.. Zimmerman said that COM
munistic forces are at work like
mice in a desk or moths in a clos

cans hold sacred.
Lets support our churches,
schools and other democratic IN
stitutions to the limit and thus

JUNIOR Choir
REVIVAL AID
Interest Growing in Pro-
tracted Meeting at
Baptist Church

Increased interest has been evil
denced In the revival services at
the First Baptist church at 10
o'clock each morning and at 1880
at night. Groups in the various
departments of the Sunday school
hold brief conferences and pray
err services at 1880 for Is min
utes before the beginning of the
services in the auditorium.
Announcement was made this
morning that no church services
would be held Saturday morning
or night.
E. S. Keith, song leader, last
night organized a junior choir to
help with the music. This group
will assist with the evening SER
vices.
Mr.. Keith's gift as a soloist ap-
peared to reach new heights this
morning in the estimation of his
audience as he rendered "The
Lord Is My Shepherd, I'll Not
Want" in a traditional Scottish
setting or air. 1t was feelingly
rendered and evidently touched
his audience.
DR.. n. D. Zimmerman took End
Timothy 2:15 as the basis for his
sermon this morning, commend
ing the great work of the Baptist
Training union, which focuses it's
thought on Paups exhortation to
Timothy to give diligence to

centered thought on the subject
of "The Unashamed Workman"
"The crying need of the age is

stancy is needed by Christians
who are given too much to work
ing by spurts. 1t is difficult

[APS STOPPED in SHANGHAI ATTACK
PLANS RAPIDLY SHAPING FOR
FINEST AGRICULTURAL FAIR
EVER HELD IN THIS COUNTY
Apple Show Will Be a Fea-
ture; Open Headquar-
tiers on 3rd Ave. E,

Final plans for Henderson coun-
tvs annual county fair are rapid
ly being whipped into shape, and
the big event will be held from
Monday, October 4, through Sat-
urday, October 9.
Fair headquarters have been
opened in the county agents of
flee on Third avenue east where
preparations are going forward
daily.
Prospects are splendid for the
greatest agricultural fair ever held
in the county, fair officials said
today, and in addition amusement
will be offered in the form Of
carnival midway. "The apple dis
play in this fair will alone be
worth the price of admission"
Secretary John 10y said today.
A premium list for exhibits in
the fair has already been pre-
pared and distributed to farmers
in the county. 1t lists exhibits for
practically all agricultural prod
ucts in the county, with the single
exception of livestock, and poul-
try exhibits are also included. The
response of the county farmers to
the efforts of fair officials to get
out large number of exhibits has
been fine up to the present time,
and interest is expected to in
crease as the opening date nears.
The prize money to be paid to
successful exhibitors in the fair
this year will exceed that ever paid
for a county fair here, and this
increase in premium money is ex-
pected to result in large increase
in the number of exhibits.
