WILLIAM CARTER IS
SEVERELY BURNED
Huata*id Os Former Henderson Wo
man Receives Rig Shock Fqoan
High Voltage Wire
Friends in this section grill regret
to hear of a painful bum received by
William Carter, whose wife is the for
mer Mamie Powell of this oity, when
he barely missed death by electrocu
tion while he was working near Mor
ris ville.
Carter, who is employed by the King
Farms Company as a tractor operator,
was working near a high tension wire
when he accidentally slipped, and ln
the fall his hand came ln contact with
the wire, from which the insulation
broke. The shock made him uncon
scious for 15 minutes and it is esti
mated that 2,500 volts ..vent through
his hand and horribly burned it, • thd
flesh being seared from two fingers
. which, .doctors Mate. wjUl necessitate
amputation. Workmen and doctors ex
pressed wonder at Carter's miraculous
escape from death.

WATER IS LOW. BUT
NO ALARM IS FELT
Level About Two And Half
Feet Below Spillway on
The Main Dam
STREAMS STILL FLOW
Beds Being Cleaned Out, However, To
Permit- Freer Intake For Lakes;
Long Dry Saaaon Becom
ing Noticeable
While the water level In the lakes
and reservoirs that furnish Hender
son’s water supply is much the lowest
in a long time, it is not down to the
point of causing any alarm or concern,
according to the waterworks people.
Streams are still flowing, but at a
slower rate.
The water line is approximately two
and a half feet below the spillway of
the upper dam, but that leaves a tre
mendous volume of water still in re
serve for the use of the community.
While stream flow has not ceased,
workers are cleaning out the stream
beds of debris and accumulated brush
so as to permit a freer intake into
the lakes.
So long as all the streams continue
to empty their flow into the reser
voirs, there will be little or no danger
of u recurrence of the condition that
developed ten years ago, when the two
upper lakes dride up almost com
pletely, and the city faced an actual
water famine. The enlarged storage
and other facilwlties provided ln the
expansion of the waterworks plant
some years ago is believed to have
assured the city of an adequate supply
of water, unless conditions become
desperate.

Regular Camp Schedule Ob.
served During Stay At

After spending a very enjoyable
week at Camp Balance Rock the Boy
Scouts of Henderson Troop 30 return
ed home Saturday morning.
The camrp was conducted on a regu
lar schedule; camip construction and
instruction in life saving being the
most important items on the sche
dule. One and one half hours each
day were spent in construction, that is
doing things to improve the camp
site. The boys worked well and
seemied to appreciate the fact that they
were improving their own camp ithts
camp site as you know being for our
iboys and girls.) It is believed, that
if all who use the camp take as much
interest in its improvement as these
boys did we will soon have a camp
second to none.
Life saving and swimming Instruc
tions were given three houis per day
and the following boys passed the re
quirements for merit badge in Life
Saving, Billie Furman, Billie Powell,
Douglas Pierpolnt, A1 Wester, and Bill
Bryan.
Wednesday night was visitors night
for parents and friends. Thrre weie
about thirty visitors who sat wi’h the
.Scouts around a large camp fire and
enjoyed a very interesting program
put on by the Scouts. A marshmal
low roast followed the prognm.
The Boy Scouts a'.‘ending the camp
for entire session consisted o* Eric
Flannagan, A1 Wester, Billie Powell,
Ed Dixon, Douglas Pierpoint, Frank
lin Harris Alvin Farris, Frank Powell,
Bill Bryan, John Laws and Wesley
Adams; those attending camp only
part time were, Elvie Turner, James
Jenkins, Billie Furman, and Butch
Piece.
James Stamper, colored, was camp
cook, who splendidly carried out his
part as cook. William Bryant, Scout
Master; Charlie Stott, As3t. Scout
Maater Wendell Troup, Eagle Bcout,
and Red Cross Life Saver; and Eric G.
Flannagan, District Scout Commis
sioner, had charge of the camp.
•The camp was very fortunate in ob

county to $70,000 in New Hanover, will
be considerably reduced and that these
counties will not be permitted to be
an exception to rule. It is not believed
that any supplements for salaries will
be approved, since no salary supple
ments were approved in any of the
other counties.
The Board of Equalization will meet
again about September 6 or 7 to take
up the supplementary budgets of the
96 special charter districts, or city
school systems, both for the six
months and extended terms. Each of
these budgets will be given individual
study and attention just as the coun
ty budgets have been. Only a few of
these budgets have been received so
far but it is hoped to have them all
on hand by September 6.
As soon as the board has finished
work on the special charter district
budgets, it will begin its study of the
more than 900 special tax district
budgets for the extended term. These
will probably be classified by groups
according to the number of teachers
in each district, as was done last year.
