School Attendance
Stressed By Peneer

Principal of the local schools, c.
H. Penner has issued the following
statement to the people of this area.
This is an appeal to the general
public concerning school attendance.
Attendance is the most important
factor in the success or failure Of
pupil in school. For the past sew
eral years the state has made little
effort to enforce the public attend
ance law, except where individual
counties and cities employed an at
tendance officer. The attitude of the
general public here is that of the
"let-it-alone" type. A child is on
the street during school hours. It
should be your concern and the con-
Germ of every parent as to why that
child is not in school. The fact
that a child is out of school I'M
necessarily is the concern Of every
man and woman in the Tabor City
school district.
1T give you the following incident
which actually happened last year.
Our school had to close two days
due to the sleet and bad roads. On
one of those days four girls of school
age had a chance to 60 to Whining
ton for the day. They arrived about
ten o'clock. They first went to

With the tobacco holiday ended and
warehouses back open for business,
the Tabor City market witnessed
high prices Thursday for the quality
of tobacco offered, averaging for the
day approximately $3.50 per hun
dred.

900 pounds sold on the local floors.
Government inspectors were pres
ent yesterday to grade all tobacco
and only tobacco passed by the gov
eminent inspectors during the day
can be sold that day.
The bright leaf continued to roll
into Tabor City and hopes are still
high among tobacconists that a
record will be set here in poundage
as well as dollars.

|Merchs nts Association Board Of Directors
Names Hotel Committee At Friday Meet

The appointment of hotel COM
mittee to investigate the possiollltles
of building a hotel in Tabor City
highlighted a meeting of the ooaro
of directors of the local merchants
association last Friday.
e. w. Fonvielle, appointed chair
man of the hotel committee, initiated
the move to see what could be done
toward procuring a first rate hotel
here. Others appointed to the COM
mittee were B. L .Nesmith, j. H.

Both dam and mill house suffered
total destruction.
Owned by Lee Gore and operated
by Leroy Gore, the lake was one Of
the most frequently visited recrea-
ton centers in this area and was
located a mile out of Tabor City on
the Whiteville road. Boating, fish
ing and swimming were carried on
there.
Sheriff H. D Stanley was sum-
moned to investigate Immediately
after the dynamiting but the only
clues to date has been a pair of
shoe tracks leading away from the
dam. 1t is believed from this that
at least tw,- persons were involved,
and that they came on foot and not
by boat as some persons have sus-
pected.
Probable motive for the crime is
the fact that water from the lake
is said to cover property which might
otherwise belong to other persons
but as the deed reads now, persons
owning the lake are entitled to all
land up to the waters edge. The
exploding of the dam would give
persons holding land surrounding the
lake considerably more property.
Authorities offered this as the most
probable motive although others
have been put forth.
The dam has been dynamited in
in the past at least once and only q
few years ago, the mill house was
fired and burned to the waters edge.
The complete destruction of the
dam this time, caused the lake to
drain quickly, leaving thousands Of
fish floundering in its muddy bot
tom and bringing curious persons
from miles around. Tt is estimated
that at least 5000 persons have seen
the lake since the blasting.
The owners OF fine lake SYSTEM
itized the fishing and sold hundreds
of pounds at the concession stand
where people waited in line for
choice Dream, jacks and trout.
Many other fishermen simply jump
ed in and caught their own, carry
ing them off by the sack full, and
it is believed that at least 5000
pounds were carried off from the
southern end of the lake. No &C
curate estimate could be made Of the
number caught at the upper end
where fishermen could be seen for
several days.
Gore Lake is an historical land
mark having been in existence for
nearly 100 years. The open water
is nearly two miles long by three
quarters of mile wide and its
total surface covers 700 acres.

Bruton Requests
Full Cooperation
OF Townspeople

H. B. Bruton, city street super
'ntendent, has been putting on a
sustained drive to better the ap-
pearance of the town for the last
week and has issued a statement
TO the people which he believes will
make for greater cleanliness if full
oooperation is given him.
eff everyone would obtain suf-
ficiently large containers to hold
their garbage and waste paper and
cover these so that the wind would
not scatter the papers and dogs can
not get into he garbage, disposal
would be greatly facilitated and 1t
would improve the appearance OF
the town." Mr.. Bruton asserted.
"Place your garbage cans near the
sidewalk every Friday morning. We
especially ask for cooperation Of
every resident of the city In this
matter. This will facilitate handling
and enable us to accomplish more
n keening the streets clean. Gar
hoge. tin cans and such should be
nlaced in garbage containers" ne
continued.
1--WE must have the assistance OF
every citizen in order to do an Ell
fjcient Job. 1t is our desire to keep
the city as clean as possible. Your
cooperation in conveniently placing
YOUR garbage for Friday collection
will aid greatly.
ITO accomplish our purpose, we
also hope that merchants and ousl-
nessmen will avoid sweeping papers
into the streets and also have their
garbage available for our collectioh'
Mr.. Bruton concluded.
