POST OFFICE LOT
HEARING IS HELD
Number OF Interested Local
People At Federal Court
In Raleigh

A number of business men here at
tended the hearing in Raleigh today
before Judge I. M. Meekins in Fedora.
court of litigation involving the valua-
ton of a lot taken by the govern
ment two years ago for extension of
the Henderson post office. Some went
as parties to the suit and others as
witnesses to give their opinions as to
the proper valuation of the real estate.
The lot involved was for many
years owned by the Henderson
lodge. 1t lay just to the rear of the
post office and at the corner of Win
der and Wyche streets. Tie Masons
and government agencies never could
agree on the valuation, and the gov.
eminent instituted condemnation pro-
ceedings, posted $4,000 with the
Vance superior court clerk against
the price, and took over the property.
extending the post office to almost
double its previous size.
The matter has been at issue about
three years. A board of appraisers
consisting of T. w. McCracken, j. w.
Jenkins and w. F. Horner placed the
value of the lot at $19,7OO-odd, which
the government would not accept.
And the issue went into Federal court.
In the hearing in Raleigh today, j..
p. Zollicoffor represented the Masonic
lodge and John Hall Manning, asSis-
tant United States district attorney
appeared for the government. A num-
Der of citizens were to give their OPP
inion as to the valuation.
Years ago the Masons bought the
lot with the idea of erecting on it a
Masonic temple. This never was done.
1t was understood the proceeds of the
rentals, if the building should have
been erected, would have gone to the
Oxford Orphanage.

up to the sheriff's department ac-
knowledging he had committed the
murder, and is now in jail.

loways of advising her, and made
some threats it is said. All day Thurs

Late in the afternoon Rev. Mr.. Hal

get bucket of feed for the chickens
and as he turned to walk away, Hal

house and shot three times. No one
saw either of the men until the shots
were fired, but the report attracted
the attention of Mrs. Halbert and Mis-,
