duced the bond of Garland G. John-
son, Vance county white man who al
legedly backed a truck over the leg

$4,000 to $4,000.
Johnson. has been in the Vance
county Jail since he surrendered to Of
ficers several day ago after having
been declared an outlaw. Bonds Tor
his release probably will be arranged
Immediately, T. P. Gholson, his attor-
ney, said.
Johnson is charged with hit-and-run
driving, assault and battery and resist
ing an officer. l.. A. Jackson, Vance
county ABC officer, whose leg was
injured by Johnsons truck on the
night of August 10 when he and two
fellow officers attempted to arrest
the driver for attempting to haul liq-
uor, has filed suit for $4,000 against
Johnson.
Subsequently, Johnson's property,
valued at from $4,000 to $4,000 has
been attached in connection with the
civil action.
D. p. McDuffee, prosecuting attor-
ney OF the Vance county recorders
court, urged Judge Bone to continue

CharlestonQuake
Remembered Here

Older persons of Henderson re-
called today the 51st anniversary
of the great Charleston, S. c., earth
quake, which, while most serious In
the South Carolina seaport city,
was also distinctly felt here and In
most other parts of North Caro-
lima. Through the years the quake
has been recalled on the anniver-
sary by many people. 1t was in
some respects the most unique ex-
perience of their lives.
George A. Lowry called attention
today to the fact that it was the
anniversary of the great tragedy,
worst of its kind on record for the
South. The earthquake occurred ON
August 81, 1886. MIR. Lowry remem-
bered it very distinctly and recall
ed some of the sensations accom-
panying the event.

SOCIAL SECURITY
LISTS IN. PROCESS
Nothing Like All. of Bene-
ficiaries Have Been In
terviewed as Yet

Mrs. E. r. Austin, welfare super
intendent of the county, said today
that many more prospective appli-
cants for social security ;senefits were
yet to- be interviewed by her office
staff before all possible eligibles can
be passed upon and she did not know
exactly how much longer would be
required to complete that job.
Mrs. Austin said about two hours
is required to interview an applicant
for benefits under the new social laws
and since that is true the process is
necessarily long and tedious and only
a comparatively few can be handled
in an entire day.
The county's pauper lists were COM
pleted several weeks ago and since
that time applicants for benefits other
than these have been appearing at
the office.
So far not a single applicant has
been approved for the entire limit Of
benefit allowances, which is $50 per
month. The welfare director did not
think there would re any in the coun-
ty to qualify for the maximums a
mount permitted.
The county and the State each pay
one-fourth of the monthly checks and
the Federal government pays one-half.
Benefits cover old age assistance
and aid to dependent needy children
and the blind. ux.

Summer; All Concerns Back
to Normal Hours

All Henderson business houses that
observed half holidays once week,
or other shorter time for the work
day during the summer season, nave
returned to regular hours of business.
Wednesday of last week, August 70,
was the last of the half holidays for
the group that took the time out on
Wednesdays in July and August.
Other concerns that had closed ear
lier each afternoon, or observed other
forms of shorter work periods have
now returned to normal.
Coming of September marks the
first month of the active fall season,
and all concerns are making their
plans for the final four months of
the year, which they expect to bring
a fairly good volume of trade.
No steps have been taken by the
merchants yet, so far as has heen
learned, to adjust their working hours
to the requirements Of the new State
law, which restricts women to 48
hours per week. This is expected to
be done Immediately, however.
