Sity. This purported compliance
with the l4th Amendment and the
Oklahoma segregation statutes at
the same time is so ridiculous. that
it is clear that even these feeble
efforts cannot be maintained as
the officials of the University of
Arkansas have already learned.
Accordingly, Arkansas has aban-
doned intra-class segregation in
its law and medical schools.
''Mr. McLaurin's entering the
university of Oklahoma does not
mean that either he or the NAA-
CP approve the stupid efforts at
segregation, nor does it mean that
this particular law suit, which
opened the university's doors dur
ing its preliminary stages, will be
abandoned short of the abolition
of segregation in the University
of Oklahoma. The case, however,
demonstrates the speed with
which action may be obtained in
this type Of proceedings before a
special federal court"

Fire Ruzes Jackson Store;
Damaqe Estimated $4,000

Jackson-A fire swept through
a Main street store here late
last night completely destroying
the building and all its contents
causing an extimated damage of
$10,0 900.
!. Mrs. j. R. Kirkland operated
secondhand clothing and furni-
ture in the one-story frame
building which was owned by
E. W. Lewis. Mrs. Kirkland and
her son lived in the rear of the
store and ]. M. Wood, Jackson
night watchman, also had a
room in the store building.
The fire was first discovered
by the Kirklands and an alarm
was given about HAS pm. and
local firemen hurried to the
scene, however the flames had
made such headway on the old
wooden building that the efforts
of the firemen were concentrat-
ed chiefly on preventing the
blaze from spreading.
R. P. Rawlings, Jackson Town
Clerk, said the entire building
and its contents including the
personal effects of the perople
who lived in the store were
"total loss". He said Mrs. Kirk
land estimated her loss at be-
tween $2,5OO and $4,000 AND
Lewis said the building was
valued at $4,000 and was partial
ly covered by insurance.
The store building is located
on Main street adjacent to g
Service station operated by
Glenn M. Fleetwood. A vacant
lot is on the other side of the
burned building.
Rawlings said local firemer
did all they could to prevent the
spread of the fire to the service
station some 80 1eet away. He
said the firemen got the situation
under control by about 12:45 ane
said although the roof had burn
ed through and fallen in the wal
were still standing.
Assistance was requested from
surrounding towns and the Ricf
Square fire department sent E
truck with six frremen who rem
dered some assistance to loca
fire fighters, who were hamp
cred by lack of equipment. Tel
4 men from the Weldon fire de

been in Roanoke Rapids since
Tuesday today warned motorists
that the lane will leave here
Monday afternoon and gave a
last-minute appeal to all those
who have not had vehicles in
spected please brin. them
through the lane while it is still
in town.
The lane is located on East
Twelfth street between Roa-
noke Avenue and Hamilton
Street. 1t is open only from
eight o'colck in the morning un-
til five p. m. this time, because,
Whitehurst said, there was not
enough response to the two-shift
inspection schedule last used
here to warrant its use again.
He said the deadline for pass
ing of inspection for 1910 and
1912 vehicles is November 80
and warned that the lane will
not be back in Roanoke Rapids
again until December 2, when
it makes its last scheduled ap-
pearance for the year.
Whitehurst said owners of all
licensed vehiclese in and around
the Roanoke Rapids area should
take advantage of the lanes be-
ing here if they still have We

ABC Store Sales In Halifax County
Logging Behind Those Of Last Year,
Two Area Men Draw Sentences On
Charge OF Passing Bogus Money

Raleigh - Lloyd M. Joyner Of
Roanoke Rapids and Ernest C..
Smith of Garysburg. charged
with passing counterfeit money
and tried before Judge Don Gill
lam in Federal Court here
yesterday, each received sent
ences in the Federal reforma-
tory in Petersburg, Va, after
they had been found guilty.
The two men who were the
subject of a long search through
out Eastern North Carolina in
April, were captured near Wind
sor after law enforcement Off
ces had searched for them
from the time a service station
operator near Fayetteville had
identified a bogus $40 bill.
Smith was also charged with
an assault on State Highway
patrolman on us. 301 near Fay
etteville after the car had been
stopped.
The Garysburg man received
a sentence of two years in the
reformatory, while Joyner was
sentenced to IL months.
Treasury Department agents
who were called in on the case,
made full investigation and
announced that a roll of the
bogus bills which Smith said he
hid in sandbank on the high
way just after he had escaped
from the patrolman was still
missing. Agents said Smith Of
fered to take them to the scene
where he had cached his roll of
money but on reaching the spot
he said he was unable to identify
it.
The treasury agents said
there Is a possibility that the
false bills have been discovered
and warned Eastern Carolina re-
sidents that they might still be
in circulation. Any person who
receives such a bill has been re-
quested to notify local law en-.
discovery Immediately.
Officers said Smith claimed
there was $1,000 worth of the
counterfeit bill in the roll he
hid and later could not find a
gain.
