Wounds Allegedly Inflict-
ed By His Wife

WH1TEv1LLE, Aug. 22.-Moses

Sheriff H. D.. Stanley, who in.
vestigated the shooting, said short.
ly after it happened that informa.
ton he received was to the effect
that the man came home late one

REPAIR OF ROADS
PLANNED BY N. e.

Continued from Page One)
Vance Baise and bridge engineer
W. L. Craven.
Baise's horseback estimate"
gagged the amount needed to make
flooded roads 'serviceable" at ap-
proximately 81, 900, 900. He added,
however, that the total damage to
the state highway system was far
greater than that figure.
Get our flood-damaged roads
open Immediately and I'll see to it
that the bills are paid" the gov
ernor told the commission in a per-
sonal appearance at their session.
IT want, and I know you want,
these roads to be opened as quick
ly as possible. If they're not open
ed, crops ready for market will rot
in the fields, and children won't be
able to get to school,"
Speaking as director Of the
states budget, the governor indi-
Gated that, if needed, he would al
lot as much as $751; 900, 900 to the
commission from the highway sur
plus, but told newsmen that he
hoped such a large appropriation
would not be required.
The WPA and other federal agen-
cies have agreed to help finance
the repair work, he said, and a
request has been made in Wash
ington for an allotment from a fed
eral emergency road fund.
Hoey told the highway engineers
and members of the commission
that he wanted the roads opened
as soon as possible "even if it
costs a little more to do the work
quickly"
The commission was instructed
by the governor to disregard high.
way district division in making re-
pairs to roads and bridges. Dis
tricts which were not hit by floods
should send men and equipment
to stricken areas, he said.
Hoey commended the ''untiring
efforts and loyalty of the highway
department in averting what might
have been a major disaster"
In another step to meet tt
emergency created by the floods
the Highway commission decided
to re-route U. S. II, arterial north
south highway by way of Plymouth
and the Albemarle sound bridge.
The stretch of U. S. II between
Edenton and Williamson will be
closed for some time until a three
mile fill along the Roanoke river
neal Williamson is repaired. 4

in some southern states. Willkie
emphasized that 1.-The question OF
practicability" of offering such q
ticket had been considered along
with the legal phases.
Legal Question
A major legal question involved
is whether votes cast for electors
of another party could be counted
cumulatively with republican votes
for Willkie.
Willkie and his associates said
they believed they had a o d
chance Of carrying Texas, Florida,
Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee. Douglas added.
That doesn't mean we won't
make a very aggressive effort in
other southern states"
The group of democrats said they
had no intention of calling a ma
tional meeting in Wilkes behalf,
but there doubtless would be num-
erous Willkie-for-president meet
ings among southern democrats.
Asked for comment on President
Roosevelt's forthcoming eight-day
travels, Willkie said that sounds
like my campaign itinerary"
"Of course I know all his speech
es will be strictly non-political,"
the nominee added. my speeches
will be political-and they will be
announced as SUCH"
Willkie said that his special train
would carry him through the fol-
lowing states
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona,
New Mexico, California, Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana, North
Dakota. South Dakota, Wisconsin

mile fill on highway II leading
from Williamson to the BERTHE
county line was totally or partially
destroyed-or destroyed at all.
The water reached a 10 and one
half foot flood crest here.
Down the river, Plymouth began
to feel the force of the flood, which
followed on the heels of destructive
flash floods in western N t h
Carolina.
The Coast Guard, which had
worked since early Sunday morn
ing removing residents from Jack
son seaward, stood by in Plymouth,
but it was thought that the few
residents of the flat country near
the town had been removed.
Plymouth merchants expected
that the water might flood tn e
Easements of their stores, but the
overflow was not expected to reach
the towns main street.
The river was two feet d e e p
over the Norfolk Southern railroad
tracks and had covered the high
way to the North Carolina pulp
mill.
In the wake of the floods, relief
agencies settled down to the tedious
task Of recapitulation and rehabili-
tation.
Most of the 5000 left homeless
by floods in the Roanoke and Tar
