Power Rates Low i'm n. C..

Stanley Winborne, chairman of
the Utilities Commission, is one of
the most suave and even tempered
men in public life in the state. But
he has been sort Of "Wrong' for a
week or two past. Occasion was the
speech OF a visiting congressman
from Arkansas at State College some
days ago, wherein the speaker said
nigh freight rates and electric power
rates We're strangling development
in the South. Maybe he was right on
freight rates: the commissioner isn't
disposed to argue that point, al
though he Is continuing longtime
efforts to do something about it.
But he just doesn't know what he
is talking about in relation t. power
rates. said the chairman. To prove
his point, MI. Winborne displays a
chart Of power rates of the 48 states,
and in every single instance North
Carolina has lower than national
average rates. In most cases a ma
jority of Southern states have lower
than national average. The afore-
mentioned solon's home state of Ar
kansas does rank high, but Mr..
Winborne doesn't see why North
Carolina should be talked badly
about just because the Arkan
sans are soaked for unjust light and
power bills.

Then let's get going, fellows"
Brooks said.
Natalie, Mrs. Edmonds, Lucy and
June stood in a little uncertain
huddle beside Orwin while the 9TH
er men went at a dog-trot along
the beach, around the curve, and
out of sight.
Tom led the way. In the days of
getting the island ready for its
guests, he and Betsy had explored
every inch of the place except for
the cypress swamp. Opposite the
cottages, there was a small creek
that flowed out of the swamp and
lost itself in the turquoise blue wa
tiers of the ocean. The creek was
narrow, but much deeper, as they
were to find later, than it looked.
On one side the bank was impene-
trable green reeds and marsh
growth, starred with the rosy, i'm
probable beauty Of mallow-pinks
and rank vines touched with white
blossoms that gave off a startling
unpleasant scent. On the other
side of the creek, there vas a mar
row, spongy brown bank, created
by the closely woven roots Of the
cypress and other trees that grew
here and caught the centuries-old
accumulation of debris, that in
time formed a fairly solid mas

there was a small round hole be-

Despite the cheapness Of his
clothes, there was something al
most majestic in the mans posi-

neatly folded across his breast.
The major polished his glasses
and then bent low above him.
I'VE mustn't touch him, of

lence that held them all.
"The police" Brooks was plain
iy startled.
But of course" said the major
instantly. ITS obviously a ques-
ton for the police to solve. Who is
he? What's he doing here? And
most important Of all-who put
him here?
Tom nodded. "One of us will
have to stay on guard, I suppose"
he said quietly, "while we send for
the police"
IN stay" said Donald. Looks
like this might make a swell story
for my paper. even if I am on vaca-

Brooks scowled and Donald did
not miss the change in his express
sion.

about being careful of disturbing
any Clues"
Thanks for not doing it, any,

cheerfully.
The others were thankful to
make their escape from the spot
that seemed strangely sinister and
evil, because of that still body with
that beautifully precise small hole
between its eyes.
Back on the beach the women
were waiting in a little uneasy hud-
die, and one look at the faces Of
the men who came toward them
answered their queries. Mrs. Ed
monds gave a little Shrek and
wavered toward the major, her
hands outstretched In q dramatic
plea for reinsurance.
The major, for once, did not leap
calamity to his cue. Instead, he
said sternly, Pull yourself to-
gether. Gladys. This is not the time
for Mysteries, my dear"
Mrs. Edmonds looked startled,
but she made no more hysterical
threats.
What is it, darling ?" asked Ma
tale swiftly Of Brooks. .

quickly. It's obviously murder
and of course, Forman's calling the
police"

Capital Gossip
By LYNN NISBET.

Raleigh, April 26.-Solomon once
said, according to well founded u
NOR, that there is no new thing n
der the sun. That was before he
heard about the letter which Acting
Chairman D. B. McCrary is sending
out to each one of the $500 en-
ployees Of the highway commission.
Mr.. McCrary, who built his own fine
business on a foundation Of mutual
respect and cooperation between the
boss and the Workers-never having
had a strike in any of his plants
Henderson daily dispatch., 1941-04-26

brought the same idea to the high
way commission when he vas step
ped up from a member to acting
chairman. He VIII step down to a
priVate's ranks again in about a
week, Before that, however, every
employee OF the departnent-road
workers. truck drivers, stenograph-
er, clerk II eXecutIVe-Will have
gotten a letter from Mr.. McCrary
thanking him or her for the part
played in maintaining the high STAN
dards Of the department.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1941-04-26
Excellent Record.

Aside from any sentiments Of
courtesy, the McCrary letter en-
phasizeS a most gratifying condition
in the highway and prison depart
ments. During the past four years
there has been no breath Of suspicion
OF any payroll padding, any petty
pil1ering, or any other thing that
would mar a perfect record. That is
unusual where nearly nine thousand
persons are involved.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1941-04-26
Innate Courtesy.

Charles Ross, chief counsel for the
commission. was discussed this letter
yesterday. He commented or the
climate courtesy involved in it, and
made the cryptic statement that q
man viii often forget to PRACTICE
courtesy unless he thinks it. In that
connection he told a story about Viii
liam Randolph Hearst, who is said
never to have sent a message of any
KIND to a subordinate without be-
