Thomas Joins In
Search For Two
N. c. Desperadoes
Payne And Turner cave Pa
trOlIAen And Officers Merry
Hunt Monday.

Early last Monday morning Pa
trolman W. c. Thomas was called
to the South Carolina border to aid
in the extensive search conducted
by ali state patrolmen in the Caro-
linas and city and county Ofacers to
catch Bill Payne and Wash Turn
er, two North Carolina desperadoes
who escaped from this state prison
on February Is, after kidnapping
two prison officials and Selling a
laundry truck.
Since that time the two outlaws,
who were convicted In Buncombe
county for Staying George Penn,
state highway patrolman, have led
officers a merry chase ell over both
states. They have been cornered
several times, but somehow pro-
violence smiled upon them and they
succeeded in getting away each
time.
The hunt Sunday started near
the state line after Robert NARROW
told officers that he had given two
men whom he later said resembled
photographs of the bandits, lift
in his car toward the South Caro-
lima boundary.
Officers said the two men had ap-
parently driven a car hidden in
the woods, for they were next re-
ported seen in a blue machine with
white rims, speeding at 90-miles per
hour from near Southport, N c., to
Myrtle Beach, S. c. Chief, of police
at Myrtle Beech said that he was
sure he saw them, but wasn't sure
enough to shoot. ~
Officers in every town and coun-
ty in the state are constantly on
the lookout for these desperadoes
who have robbed several banks
and are charged with many other
crimes. There is a reward of $1,000
for them.

Ashe Turkeys To
Be King OF Feast
Around 10000 Fowls Were
Shipped Past Few Days.
Brought $4,000.

Ashe county turkeys will be
liking of the feast" on many tables
when the Christmas dinners are
served Saturday, judging by the
large number that were shipped
out during the past few days.
According to an estimate of local
poultry dealers, approximately TO-
900 of the popular fowls were
bought and shipped and in their
place local farmers have around
$4,000 in cash, or at least they did
have that much!
To the regret of local dealers, the
supply of turkeys was not as large
as they hoped. At Thanksgiving
about $4,000 were sold. Before
the market closed the dealers were
paying 20 cents per pound. Van
noy's slaughter house was a busy
place Monday and Tuesday.
Thousands Of turkeys were also
shipped from Boone and Sparta.

Payne Sustained
Bruises In Wreck

Coleman Payne, salesman for the
Parkway Motor Company here, sus-
tanned painful bruises on his face
and shoulder last Thursday after
noon in an automobile accident on
the West Jefferson-Boone highway.
Mr.. Payne's car and one belong
ing to J. E. and Clyde Woods, two
Georgia men, collided on curve,
and the popular automobile sales
man was thrown out. His car kept
going and after running over an
embankment finally stopped down
in a field. Neither of the occupants
of the other car were hurt.
On the old mill curve between
the Jeffersons Sunday night, Mrs.
Vonley G. Phipps ran into Ben
Reeves, of Sparta. Both cars were
damaged, but fortunately no one
was injured.
Mr.. Reeves was going to Jeffer-
son when he met Mrs. Phipps. With
the hopes of avoiding crash, Mr..
Reeves pulled his car against the
bank, but Mrs. Phipps failed to
make the curve at all and smashed
into him. Mr.. Phipps declared that
the accident was altogether his
wife's fault and they took entire
responsibility for the damages.
Following this, officers deemed it
unnecessary to take action.

Special Session OF
Congress Ended, To
Convene In January
Senate Passes Housing hin,
Session Is Called GOOSE
Egg" Session. q
MILEAGE Is VOTED

Washington, Dee. 91-The senate
passed the housing bill today, So to
4, the house sent it to conference
and, with these things dons Coz
gress gladly concluded it's special
session and began thinking about
Christmas.
Some of the departing members.
more particularly those sf Rspuh-
lican persuasion, were calling it
"the goose-egg session" because, al
though much preparatory work
was done, not one of the Roosevelt
bills it was called upon TO consider
was finally enacted.
The wage and hour bill, rejected
by the house, was reposing in a
labor committee pigeon-hole, the
farm and housing bills, approved
by both branches in different form,
were in the conference stage, Coy
eminent reorganization and region
al planning had received NO more
than committee consideration.
The Congress completed ao4i@n
only on bills to pay the travelling
expenses of the membership and
the wages of the pages, a bill to
lend four portraits to an art GAL
lery, one to amend the credit union
act and resolution asking the
agriculture department what had
been done to prevent the distribu-
ton of an elixir of sulfanilamide.
The senate devoted the final day
to debating the housing bill, a
measure intended to promote O
boom in BODYBUILDING by reduc-
ing the financing cost. It would do
so, among other things, by cutting
the present down payment on small
homes in half, and cutting interest
and carrying charges on more eIay-
crate types of construction. ~
Meanwhile many Of the house
members were already homeward
bound. The remainder spent most
of the day in recess, awaiting
the senate's action on the housing
bill. They killed some time listen
ing to the speeches which from
time to time well up within the
bosoms of legislators.
House leaders have freely con-
coded that since last Saturday,
when the housing bill was passed
there, it would be exceedingly diff
cult to produce a quorum.

Santa Claus Is Making Final
Preparations For Christmas
To Return Today And Tomor-
row. Record Volume Of Bust
ness In Many Stores.

Santa Claus is now extremely
busy making final preparations for
his annual visit Saturday morning,
Christmas day, which is the 1937th
birthday of Christ.
Every day since last Friday the
streets and stores have been lined
with Christmas shoppers and today
and tomorrow local merchants are
anticipating record number OF
last-minute gift seekers, if the
weather is at all favorable.
Yesterday a number of merchants
reported that their Christmas bust
ness was the best that it has been
in years. Some of them attributed
this increase to the fact that there
is no recession in this section and
also to the fact that the people of
Ashe and surrounding counties are
realizing more and more that it
pays to trade at home, and that
West Jefferson is really a shopping
center.
They further stated that the peo-
pie of the county appreciate and
enjoy the attractive street lights
and decorations, as well as the Wis
it of St Nicholas, who will return
here this afternoon and tomorrow.
Yesterday most of the schools in
the county closed for the holidays.
One or two closed last Friday and
all of them will reopen on Mon
day, January 3rd.
