desperation for them. There was talk
at times of possible efforts on the part
of the workers to obtain food for
themselves and their families if the
money which was rightfully theirs, did
not arrive shortly. But all of the men
and women restrained themselves
throughout the crisis, and at no time
was their violence or serious threat
of it.
There were many expressions of
sympathy on the part of citizens, too,
for the workers in their plight, and
movements were talked of to raise
funds to supply them with food, but
promises were continually made that
the relief checks would be here any
day. A voluntary offering was taken
at the First Methodist church Sun
day morning following the preaching
service, and approximately $85 was
reported raised at that time. This
money was turned over to the proper
authorities, and was to be distribut
ed in food and supplies to those most
in need, or where there was sickness.
Distribution of the relief checks to-
day eased the situation very consid-
erably. 1t was understood that now
that the flow of unemployment pay
ments had been started, the checks
would come through weekly and on
regular schedule so long as the law
provides that they shall be made I'M
der credits that have been accumulat-
ed.

An estimated damage of $1,000 to
$4,000 was done to about so bales of

brisk wind

firemen were called to Belle street to
extenguish a grass fire burning near
the home of Miss Elizabeth Dorsey.

Much of Time from His
Regular Duties

W. G. Gates announced today Re
has resigned as manager of the loca!
branch office of the Carolina Moto,
Club, which dispenses State auto

and said his retirement from TIE
duties of the office would be as soon

the 1888 series. Of these, 1888 are
automobile plates, 1926 truck and 81.

In announcing his resignation, Mr..
Gates said the work was taking toe
much of his time, and that he mad re-
ceived very little cooperation froa,
Henderson and neighboring citizens IN
the way of memberships in the moto4
club, which is the basis for the op
Grafton of the office, and without
which it would not be possible to have
the office here for the distribution OF
State automobile license plates.
He said the local office is maintain
ed through support of motor club
and said he did not feel
he had accomplished very much along
that line. He did say, however, he had
used his best efforts in serving the
public in the distribution of license
plates.
