SC. MAN shot
IN CHEST HERE
EARLY TODAY
Fails to Put up Both Hands
as Ordered; Is Seri-
ously Wounded
HAD RECEIVED $3.50;
HIS ASSAILANTS FLEE

John Alvin Gray, "a, truck
driver for the firm of Thomas and
Howard company, Of Grcenville.
S. c., was shot through the chest
this morning about s o'clock as
two men attempted to rob him on
Justice street between Fifth and
Sixth avenues. o.
Gray was rushed to Patton Me-
mortal hospital where his condi-
ton was considered very serious.
He was shot in the right chest
and his liver was punctured. The
bullet flattened on the ninth rib
and lodged in his body.
Gray called at the home Of J.
B. Morgan, salesman for the con-
Germ, this morning about 6
o'clock. 1t was his daily routine
to stop at the Morgan home to
pick up orders and money to BIO
taken to Greenyille. .....
Morgan gave him orders, a case
of blackberries, and $3.50 in mon
ey. Gray then went to his truck
and was accosted by two men. He
said one Of the men was smaller
than the other, and that both
either had their faces blackened
or wore masks. ..
"Stick 'em up" one of them
told him. Gray raised one hand
and the man, with an oath. 81
"Stick 'em both up"
At the house, Morgan, acc,
ing to officers, heard Gray sh6
his name twice, followed by a 81.
gle shot. The porch light was
turned on and Morgan heard run
ming footsteps, followed by the
noise of an automobile starting
up.
Gray told Chief Powers that he
did not see the gun and did not
know which of the men fired at
him. He told Chief Powers that
after he was shot the men ran
across Justice street and that an
automobile pulled away from the
street about the rear of Park Hill
inn.
The two men left the scene
without taking any money from
Gray. The $3.50 he had received
from Morgan was in paper sack
in his hip pocket. In his shirt
pocket on the right side he had
two leather wallets, one contain
ing SIS and the other $5l. The
bullet passed through the lower
edge of these wallets in entering
his body.
City police officers and the
sheriff's department were investi-
eating the case this morning.

ment said yesterday in confirming re-
ports from New York City.
The flrst consignment of $4,000
cases will arrive in New York about
April 4 from St. Croix on the S. S.
Fort Townsend.
The liquor was distilled by the Vir-
gin Islands Co., described on the

rectors include Lawrence M. Cramer,
Governor of the islands, and DR..

dent.
Distributing Rights Given.
Ickes has given the w. A. Taylor IL
Co.. liquor importers of New York
City, exclusive rights to distributing
the rum, which is said to have a diff
ferent taste than either the Cuban or
Jamaican varieties
Distribution of the rum was held up
number Of weeks because of the Diff
ficulty OF selecting a name which
would not violate copyrights and
which would not emphasize United
States entry into the rum business.
After 26 designs of labels were sent
to Washington by the Taylor Co. since
October, the Government house" rum
label finally was selected.
The distributor is paying the Gov
eminent $685. case at St. Croix, the
cases being bottled in fifths. All duties
and additional expenses will be borne
by the company, which will sell the
rum for retail at about Sl95 a fifth
of gallon and SO cents half bottle.
Many Thousands of Gallons.
In the Government warehouse at
ST. Croix are stored $4,000 gallons pro-
duced in the Spring Of 1894; 100000
gallons distilled in 1885 and $4,000
gallons made last year. On the re-
verse side of the bottles are printed
full details on how to use Govern
ment house rum" with nve recipes
and the information that you can
use this rum successfully in place Of
whisky in any recipe"

Milady's problem Of making her
stockings meet her garters appeared
today to be headed toward quick OBJ
livion.
Uniting on this vexing issue, the
Government and the hosiery trade
have decided on a silken leg standard
for future hose.
This doesn't mean the stocking
makers have turned their backs on
the extra-short and extra-long legged
women. The production of special
models will continue.
1t does mean that when an average
legged woman just asks for stock
ings," she won't come home with q
silken something ranging from socks
to hose that resemble wading boots
The standard idea didn't start with
the Government but with the hosiery
industry, which decided to take the
strain of stocking and garter.
Asked to participate in Matchmaking

a total Of 929 jobs were found for
unemployed workers in Henderson
and Vance county during the past Il
months, it was reported today by w
NJ Burwell, manager of the local of
flee of the North Carolina Employ
ment Service. Many of the jobs were
temporary in nature.
The total number of persons given
employment on public projects was
800, and an even 600 were furnished
to private employers. Of the 600, there
were 191 placed in domestic service
1875 on farms and 2S4 in various other

At the same time the board de-

Abe BOARD LIFTS
PURCHASE LIMITS
Gallon Ban Imposed Seve-
raj Weeks Ago Is Re-
moved for Future

After learning that liquor stores in
all other so-called wet counties of
the State, with the possible single ex-
ception of Pasquotank, had no limit
on the quantity of liquor an individual
may purchase at one time, the Vance
County ABC Board has lifted the ban
it recently imposed in restricting in
divdual purchases at one time to a
single gallon.
TIL Crudup, chairman of the
ABC board, said today the limit now
was that imposed ty Federal law in
differentiating between retail and
wholesale establishments, and that
limit is rs gallons to a customer in
one transaction. Five gallons or more
at the time is a wholesale transac-
ton, for which the ABC board has
no license.
The board had feeling that the
one-gallon limit was leaving the gap
open for bootleggers to ply their trade
at all hours, and in order to prevent
such illegal sales the limitation was
removed.
No other changes in operating
policy have been made, Mr.. Crudup
said, but he did hazard the guess that
when the new State liquor board is
ostabliched by appointments. to be
made by Governor Hoey some sort of
uniform policy for all liquor counties
will be adopted. He thinks that will
be more desirable.
