The amendment providing for
determining the result of a special
election by the majority of the
votes cast in the election rather
than by the majority of voters

the case, will mean a great deal
to local units in permitting bond

Sunday Star-News
Raleigh Bureau

RALEIGH, April 5-North Caro-
lima voters will be given an oppor-
tunity to vote on four constitutional
amendments at the next election.
one Of which is similar to an
amendment turned down at the
election just past.
The first provides for fixing the
salaries of members of the General
Assembly at 81, 200 per session and
OF presiding officers at $1,500 with
salaries for extra sessions at $3.50
and $500 respectively. An amend
ment seeking 5000 for mmebers
81, 1000 for presiding officers was
turned down by voters at the 1916
elections.
The second provides for determ-
lining the result of special elections
by the majority of those voting
therein, which the third increases
the amount of total state and coun-
ty tax which may be levied on
property by changing the linita-
ton on tax from Is cents on the 500
valuation to Is cent on the 500
valuation and the fourth provides
for removing debt limitations upon
the state, counties and municipali-
ties for necessary expenses.
Two proposed amendments, the
first giving 18-year-olds the right
to vote and the second to exclude
women from jury duty, were vot-
ed down by the legislators. Action

Twenty month old Terry Phil
lips will recall twenty years from
now that he was told that a North
Carolina State Highway Patrol
man once saved his life.
Such people as Terry will grow
up to remember too that the pa
trolmen are Good Samaritans, as
is evidenced in a statement re-
portedly made by DR.. J. Buren,
Sudbury of the Baby's Hospital,
Wrightsville Sound.
Terry, the young son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Durante Phillips, and grand
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan L. High,
Whiteville was wan and iistless
the other day when Patrolman C.
J. Ferguson of the Wilmington
unit of the state department found
him in the arms of anxious par
ents aboard a Buick automobile
enroute to the hospital.
Ferguson said that he noticed
the Phillips car, which seemed to
be over heated, at the junction of
U S. highway "A and rs and U. S.
II North, and that when he ap-
preached the vehicle he was told
that the couple with the child's
grandfather. Dan High, were en-
route to the Baby's hospital, and
was asked if he would help get
the child through Wilmington's
congested traffic. The patrol car
was parked at the junction on a
routine patrol, Ferguson said.
It seemed that Terry's life or
death was a matter of just a few
minutes, Ferguson said.
He took the party in his patrol
car, and speedd their arrival at
the hospital where skilled Sur
geons and baby specialists min
istered aid which resulted in saw
ing the infants life.

Ry n. l. MINIS

CHARLOTTE, April s. Up -
Two North Carolina brothers who
turned a knack for ''hoss trad
ing' into a million-dollar a year
business selling land, making and
losing fabulous fortunes mean
while, have a simple formula for
personal prosperity.
The Penny brothers, land auc-
tioneers extraordinary, billed for
their colorful business as brother
er Jim C. &C for CASH and
George T.. It for Trade), have
knocked down land in every state
in the Union. Their gavel has
fallen on valuable real property
parcels on Long Island, as well
as on undeveloped tracts in Ok
lahoma's Indian territory.
They're known as the twin
auctioneers because they look
very much alike. Jim says he's
81 and George is older. George
insists he's the younger. George
heads the firms Greensboro, N.
c., office and Jim is head man
here. George also is a state
senator.
Now riding another crest in
their h%alf-century career, the
Penneys stage their sales in more
thar six states. Three separate
sales they made last year totaled
more than $500, 900 in proceeds.
But that's just "smau bust
ness" says Jim, pointing to their
biggest single transaction at
the mountain resort center Of
Blowing Rock, N. c., where they
sold two hotels, a golf course and
some lots for more than 81, OO0,-
900.
The brothers started their ca
reer selling apples and candy in
a Randleman, N. c., cotton mill.
With their first dollars they
bought a "plug'' horse which they
rented out to travelling statesmen
covering territories in the North
Carolina backwoods. Flowing
their horse profits back into the
business, the brothers expanded
and soon had a string of horses.
Their cultivation of rich men
began early. They had scarcely
started as horse traders in Win
ston-Salem about the turn of the
century when they refused to
renege on a losing deal they had
made with w. H. Reynolds. That

Hayiing Season
NowUnder Wav;
Crop Is Short

Though the wild and tame hay
crop outlook is far from as bright
as it was several months ago,
it promises to be fair meaning
that if the required energy is ex.
erted, enough feed will be har.
vested to supply the reserva-
TONS cattle and sheep through
an average closed winter.
However, season as bitter as
that of 1946-47 is not to be CEN
sidered, since it is the kind that
defies beyond what farmers and
ranchers can do to carry their
stock through, economically and
otherwise.
The haying season is pretty
much under way this week, with
wild hay dominant in yield. Al
falfa will be less than half of the
normal crop, according to re-
ports. This is attributed to win
ter kill and to a spring frost and
lingering cold weather during
the growing season.
Wild hay has not regained the
setback of last years drought,
though with large areas of yield
even less than normal, heavy
tonnage as a whole may be har-
vested.
Because of prevailing dryness
since the latter part of June,
conditions admonish harvesters
to not lose time at the task.
Wild hay, especially, must be
harvested without delay after it
has ripened.

Dog Gun Killed
By G. N. Freight

Tom Dog Gun, who had been
engaged as a section hand on the
CIR e at Northern Ry. at Glacier
Park for several years, was in
stantly killed when struck by a
westbound diesel freight near
there Tuesday at approximately
2::40 a. m.
Conclusion of an investigation
by County Coroner Beck, who
was called to the scene a short
time later. was that Dog Gun had
wandered eastward along the
main line and at a point approx
mately 1000 feet from the rail-
way station had sat down and
fallen asleep between the two
rails.
John S. Miller. engineer, and
Robt. J. Underwood, fireman on
the locomotive, who h e | d the
train at Glacier Park in order to
aid with the investigation, said
that they observed Dog Gun lying
down between the rails W h e n
they were within rs feet of him.
1t was impossible to stop the
train in distance to avoid hitting
him, they said. With brakes ap-
piled, however, the train finally
came to stop after it had tossed
the body a b out b we n
the rails for a 100 or more feet.
1t was mangled beyond identifi-
cation, with limbs severed and
the main portion of the body cut
in two.
Deceased was the son of Dog

five children.

afternoon, will Rev. E. B.
