Crops Get Fresh
Boost From Rains
That Fell Monday
Crops in this county and’ section got
a further boost on toward maturity
as the result of the generous rains an
Monday, followed by a mild sunshine
and clear skies today. The clear
weather of last weeK that followed
frequent intermittent rain for a couple
of weeks prior to that :raie gave the
young tobacco and cotton a fresh
growth, and yesterday’s rains came
just in time to furnish needea addi
tional moisture ofr the soil. Hot
weather for about a week before any
more rain falls will pm\ the croposfa;
along in their summer growth.
Farmers by now have had time to
clean out the grass that had made
great headway on them prior to last
week’s fair weather, and most growing
crops of nearly all kinds, and gardens
as well, are reported to be in good
condition throughout the county.
PAVING CREW GETS *
A FULL DAY OF IT
'The crew working with the huge
concrete mixer conc-ete on
Garnett street starte work today, and
was making rapid progress during the
iOtenoon and early afternoon. lhe
day was ideal for the work, except
that Monday’s heavy rains left the soil
in the street in a rather soggy condi
tion, which had to be overcome before
the concrete could be poured. The
paving organization was making every
possible minute count, in view of the
long delays that have been occasioned
by the very unfavorable weather of
the spring season.

Rapid Progress on Small
Docket May End Session
By Late Today
MANY CASES~ DECIDED
Only One Penitentiary Term Given
By Judge Barnhill So Far; Highway
Robbery Case Is Given
the Jury
A combination of a small docket and
rapid progress on that brought the
end of the criminal session of the
June term of Vance Superior Court
within sight this afternoon, with indi
cations of clearing of the docket and
adjournment either late today or to
morrow morning. It will be one of
the shortest criminal terms in recent
years in the higher court.
At the noon hour a jury was still
deliberating a highway robbery case
against Robert Davis and Lonnie Clop
ton, which was completed shortly aft
er 11 a. m.
A. D. Dunlap, who was charged with
rape, pleaded guilty to an assault on
a female, and was sent to the roads
for 11 months. '
Moody Harp was today sent to the
roads for 12 months for an assault on
his wife, and in another assault charge
the matter was continued.
Judgment was continued until the
October term of court in the case of
Tiny Perry Davis, charged with as
saulting Flora Morris with a deadly
weapon.
Lewis Hawkins, Negro convicted of
breaking into the George E. Perry
store some months ago, got from 12
to 18 months in State Prison, .the only
penitentiary sentence imposed by
Judge M. V. Barnhill this session of
court. Along with the commitment
i sto go, however, a recommendation
that the man be sent to the State Hos
pital for Colored Insane at Goldsboro
for an examination as to his sanity.
Julian Johnson, charged with an as
sault with a deadly weapon, was call
ed and failed.
Will Jinks was sent to the roads
for eight months for an assault with
intent to kill.
Eugene Teiser, charged with being
drunk and disorderly, was given six
months on the roads, to be suspended
for two years if he remains sober
and law abiding and of good behavior
toward his family. The court reserv
ed the right to invoke the sentence
at will for just cause.
Luther Capps was charged with se
duction, but was called and failed.
L. B. Tingen, charged with reckkless
driving, was allowed, at his own re
quest, to accept the judgment of the
lower court on condition that he pay
the costs of this court.
A similar judgment on like charges
grew out o fthe case of Clyde Stone
of this wrings the vitality out of a man. I felt pretty well
played out at die end of the race. My mechanic and I
turned to Camels for the first luxurious smoke that always
chases that tired feeling away. Any time I’m 'all in* I
know that Camels will give me a 'lift* in energy. I smoke
them steadily, too, because I know that Camels will never
jangle healthy nerves."
School Allotment
At Once Is Sought
Rollins and Credle Go To Washington Immediately o>ri
Heels of Appropriation by Congress Just Before It
Adjourns; Want Work To Start Shortly
Superintendent E. M. Rollins, of the
city and county schools, and W. F.
Credle, of the State Department of
Education in Raleigh, left here today
for Washington to consult with Public
Works Administration officials with a
view to having funds allotted as early
as possible for the school "cuiiding pro
gram in Henderson.
The proposed building program in
cludes a new high school for Hender
son, a new elementary school at North
Henderson, and the addition of four
rooms to the South Henderson school.
It is hoped that approval of the pro
ject may be had immediately so that
work can be started as soon as pos
sible.
The building program calls for an
outlay of $285,000, most of which would
be used in the erection of a new Hen
derson high school. All county agencies
required to approve the project have
already done so, in fact, did so before
Christmas, as did also the State De
partment of Education and the Stare
HALF HOLIDAY WILL
BE HAD BY STORES
The -customary Wednesday aft
ernoon half holiday will be obserb
ed by Henderson merchants tomor
row, in keeping with the policy in
force for the summer. Stores will
close at 1 o’clock for the remaind
er of the day. Banks will begin
tomorrow closing every day for the
remainder ot' the summer at 2 p.
m., instead of 3 p. m.
BAPTIST BARACAS
TO NAME OFFICERS
Baptist Baracas are to elect offic
ers next Sunday to serve during the
coming year, it was learned today,
and all members of the class are re
quested to make it a point to be on
hand for the exercises that day. A
president, vice-president, secretary,
treasurer an dteachers are to be
chosen by the members at the meet
ing. , I '
—
and that of Will Joyner, both separate
and distinct cases. A charge of drunk
enness attached also -in the Joyner
case, however.
W. E. Phelps was charged with
forgery of a check for $123.60, and
was sent to the roads for eight months
when he furnished a note for Cliat
amount to T. H. King, who had en
dorsed the forged check on which the
defendant obtained money some
months ago.
School Commission and other State
bodies that have to do with all local
financing in the counties.
When the application reached Wash
ington just prior to the Christmas
holidays, it appeared that allotments
had already been made rrom the orig
inal PWA appropriation made avail
able by Congress and that funds were
not available for t:ie Hencerson pro
ject, and have not been since, in as
large amount as is desirec*
Thirty per cent, or thereabouts, of
the amount asked for would be an
outright donation by the PWA, and
county bonds would be issued and sej*
to the government for the remainder
of around $220,000.
The new PWA appropriation of
some hundreds of millions of dollars
was voted by the 73rd Congress short
ly before it adjourned yesterday, and
the school authorities hope to press
Henderson’s claim, so as to obtain the
allotment from the n/w appropriation,
and to get it immediately.
RULES ARE STATED
FOR BALANCE ROCK
t ** ;
Public Asked Not To Use
Lake Until After 3 O’Clock
In the Afternoon
Rules for the conduct of Balance
Rock camp during the week of the
Boy Scout stay there were announced
today. These are in addition to the
set rules that apply for all camps for
the summer season.
The public is urged not to use the
lake except between the hours of f
and 6 p. m., and bathing outside those
hourse will not be permitted, it is an
nounced. Another regulation is that
the public is not to be allowed inside
the Scout area that is roped off.
C. M. Cooper, Jr., who accompanie-'
the boys to camp yesterday, said to
day there were 32 boys and about
eight instructors and supervisors at
the camp. Claude Humphreys, of Ra
leigh, Scout executive of Dcconeechee
Council, is in camp all week with the
boys. There are some from Louis
burg and Oxford, but nearly all of
those on hand for the week are from
Henderson. Several additions later in
the week are looked for.
Mexico extends for over 1,000 miles
from north to south.
This "energizing effect" in Camels, long recognized by
Camel smokers, has recently been studied and confirmed
i by a famous research laboratory in New York. It is harm
less, refreshing. You’ll like Camels—a matchless blend of
t costlier tobaccos. You can "get a lift with a Camel" as
often as you wish. Camels never get on your nerves, nQ
matter how many you smoke.
