Formerly they were American raised, but an Asiatic bark disease left it's mark on the chestnut forests of the United States.

vender of
 Chestnuts
 Disappears
Fohorn Characters, Be en MostIyin New York,
 Dropping Out
By GEORGE TUSKER

1 NEW YORK, Dec. 2l.-The lone Hest and most forlorn creature in New York is the chestnut vender Somebody think it was the late ! o. o. McIntyre-descri him once as "a scarecroW on a windsWept corner, sucking at sorrow like a i lollipop." Odd was in very good form when he wrote that phrase.
 For the man with the charcoal smudge is one of the unforgettable vignettes of metropolitan life. You will find him where the crowds are thickest and where the winds are chillest, huddled over his nov able charcoal stand, smudge on his cheek, more than likely an icicle on the end of his nose, hawk ing a confection in a voice that is part cry part prayer, part grunt and a groan: "ChestnutS, sir, hot chestnuts, right off the fire, right out of the red hot pan. :"
 There used to be lot of him but his number now is sadly dimin- ished Where he hides in summer no one knows, but when winter comes he emerges from hiding and takes up his position in the crowd ed sectors of 9th Avenue, of Times Square, of Herald Square, in sub way entrances, and on icy corners. His sales are in five and ten-cent lots. Oddly enough his success is greatest when the elements are against him, when the thermometer falls. when the wind curls out of the north with an icy keen, when the pavements are slippery, when each breath leaves a frosty plume in the air.
 I think that when he finally disappears something will have passed from the American scene that all the ingenuity of the nov elists and the movies can never replace Like the hill-blily noun taineer and the cigar store Indian he is essentially American. Any way he is essentially New York. But in his eye you will detect lurking fear, a shadowy puzzle ment that asks why but does not militantly reject the seeming con- spiracy against him.
 There is conspiracy. The radio, the mail-order clothes, the auto mobile took the coonskin cap off the mountaineer. It is the slick, chic, streamlined nut shoppes Sometimes in his prayers he must ask God what a shoppe is and what he has done to have an ava lanche of them sent against him that is eraSing him from the streets of New York.
 The merchant is against him. too In cooperation with, the city, there is an ordinance against him now, forbidding him to approach within ] 100 feet of a store. When he pass es beyond this deadline he is ar rested, The merchants say he is

ONLY ONE ARREST
ON LICENSE TAGS
Best Compliance in Years Observed
by State Officers in This
City and Section

Only one arrest for driving without

State highway patrolnan located here
announced today. There had keen gen
eral compliance with the new State
law, the patrolman said.
A close watch was kept to guard
against use of the old license plates
and none are observed on the streets
and highways in this section now.
Car owners have either equipped their
vehicles with the new licenses or they
are keeping them out of operation,
it was stated.
Reports over the State indicate that
similar conditions have been general
since the first of the. year. Very few
arrests have been made, and very few
drivers have had to be warned to OBJ
tain their new licenses. Apparently
the public took the State authorities
at their word that the law would be
enforced. IL, Is. -, as n

COLORED DENTIST
TO START JAN. Il
DIR. Gregg Also Announces
tuberculosis Tests of
Older Pupils

DR.. Bell, colored dentist of the State
Board of Health, will come here jan
uary II to inaugurate public school
dental clinic for the colored school
children of the county, DR.. A. D.
Gregg, Vance county health officer,
announced today. DR.. Bell will prob
ably set up headquarters in the Cen
trail colored graded school at the foot
of Pettigrew street for examination
of the children from all over the coun-
ty as we'll as those in the city, it was
stated.
Il Meantime, DR.. Guy Harris, dentist
of the State. Board of Health, who
has been working in the white schools
of the city and county for the past
four months, will be at West End
school in Henderson next week, start
ing January 10. This week he is at
to be visited. After West End, only
the Junior high school is left to be
visited. The service will not be OF
fcred in the Henderson high school,
since high school students, as rule,
are above the ages covered by the free
dental examinations and treatments.
DR.. Harris has an allotment of 16
weeks in the white schools, and has
only two or three more weeks left
before the time is out.
DR.. Gregg also announced today
that he was planning for county
wide tuberculosis clinic and test a.
mong school children above ten years
of age, and that DR.. Denholm, who
held the tuberculosis clinic at the
Scott Parker Sanatorium here last
fall, will begin this work about jan

those children whose tests are found
to be positive.
Further details of the tuberculosis
clinic are promised by DR.. Gregg be-
fore the tests are begun in the county.

court FACING BIG
DOCKET on MONDAY
Enough Business To Last
Three Weeks, One Off
cial Comments

The regular one-week criminal ses
sion of Vance Superior Court to con
vene here next Monday will face one
of the heaviest dockets any court here
has had in recent years, it was said
today by E. o. Falkner, clerk of su-
perior court, who added that it APP.
peared to him there was sufficient
business to occupy the court for three
weeks, unless there were a good many
submissions bY defendants waiting
disposition of cases.
Three or four defendants are charg-
ed with Sayings a number with for
geries. and almost innumerable &C
cusations of a less serious nature. It
was stated that the docket to date
contains some IS cases, with four or
five others in prospect before Mon
day to run the total up to go or so.
The clerk saw no likelihood of the
docket being cleared during the single
week. Already there is speculation
over the possibility of asking for a
special term of criminal court for
Vance county, to be held as early as
possible after the regular term if ur-
gent need appears at the close of next
weeks session.
A number of cases were left on the
docket at the close of the October
term of court last fall, and there was
considerable talk then of q special
term. hut it was found to be impos-
sible to obtain judge to preside and
the matter was dropped. Some need is
soon, in this connection, for another
regular term of criminal court for
Vance county, probably to be fixed
the fall, since the county has only one
term in the second half of the year.
Judge Clawson Williams is schedul-
ed to hold the term of court here next
week. It will be his first in this coun-
ty. Solicitor E. r. Tyler, of Roxobel,
is to prosecute for the State.
