Foreclosure Sales
Are Blocked by
Court Order

Scheduled foreclosure sales OF
the lands of w. E. and E. V. Hin
ton were not held yesterday be-
cause of restraining order issued
by Judge R. Hunt Parker at Roam
oke Rapids Saturday.
The order was against the First
and Citizens National bank and
| w. I. Halstead, trustee, who must
appear before Judge Parker at
Wrightsville Beach on Tuesday,
August 3, to show cause why the
temporary restraining order should
not be made permanent.
The bank had had the sales ad-
vertised in order to collect a S4O,-
|! 900 balance due it by the Hinton
brothers, which indebtedness was
secured by deeds of trust on GER
tain lands in PaSquotank and
Camden counties.
The Hintons claim the lands are
worth far more than the amount
of the indebtedness but that sale
of the land has been held up
pending the adjustment of certain
claims which prevent giving a
clear title to the property at pres
ent.
The sales were to have been
held yesterday at the courthouse
of Pasquotank and Camden coun-
ties.

ANTHRACITE MINES
Gov. Earle Makes Recon-

Re-estabIish Industry.
Ey the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, September 28.-
Pennsylvania State government has
offered to take over regulation Of the
hard coal industry to revive the rich
fields in the eastern part Of the State,
which leads the world in anthracite
production.
Gov. George H. Earle, striking out at
the Ills of legitimate mining and at
unauthorized miners, made two recon-
mendations to a conference of almost
200 business leaders in the Capitol yes
terday:
l.. Create by legislative action COM
mission to say how much coal is to be
produced and at what mines and to
fix prices.
2. To permit coal "bootleggers" to
lease closed workings from mine oper-
ators and dig their coal in ventilated
shafts under State safety regulations.
The "bootleggers" would pay small
royalty to the owners
The conference brought to a head a
campaign started by Earle last De-
cember, when he made a personal
trip through the rd-coal field, talked
with the miners and operators and
then appointed commission to study
the situation. Members of the COM
mission were here today. They have
had various plans.
Declares Conditions "PitifuI"
"The disorganized merchandising
methods of anthrat>e are pitiful
compared to the way oil companies
