SHARP DECLINE IN
TEMPERATURE HERE
Mercury Falls 42 Degrees
During Night from Max
imum of Tuesday
A .sharp decline in temperatures
overnight here amounting to 1- de
grees was reported today by John P.
Renn, official Weather Bureau ob
server for Henderson. The mercury
slid from its maximum of 69 on Tues
day down to a minimum of 27 dur
ing the night, or five degrees below
freezing.. It was one of the sharpest
declines for the same period of time
on record here.
Citizens awoke this morning to find
a trace of snow on the ground. It
fell during the night, and stuck until
slightly rising temperatures during
the day carried it all off. Preced
ing the snow there was a heavy rain
late in the afternoon Tuesday,
amounting to .78 of an inch, accord
ing to Air. Bonn's report.
Skies were overcast much of the
time today, but the weather forecast
was for fair weather tonight and to
morrow. with rising temperatures
Thursday.
With the exception of two or three
spells near zero weather, the winter
has been fairly mild in this section,
much more so than last year, but
weather sharps point to the fact that
March still lies ahead, and no one
can guess what that month may bring
It was recalled, too. that the biggest
snow in twenty years in this section
fell the first day of April in 1915.

Dr. McDonald Astonished At
“Finger Os The Lord” Idea
I'nllf IHipnlrb llnrrnx,
In I hi* S|r Wrtller Hold.
BY C. A. PAUL
Raleigh, Feb. 27 Dr. Ralph Mc-
Donald. Forsyth legislator and ex
college professor, the father of the
much-publicized sales tax substitute
plan, is astonished no end to discover
the widespread existence of the ‘‘fing
er of the Lord" philosophy in North
Carolina.
He has received, he says, numerous
letters from persons who oppose the
enactment of the compulsory diphth
eria vaccination bill introduced by
Senator Burrus and which would re
quire all North Carolina babies to be
made immune from that disease.
Many of those letters, says the erudite
professor, declare in no uncertain
terms that the “finger of the Lord”
is pointing at him and other legisla
tors and that he will be struck down
if he votes for the Burrus measure.
“Why?' exclaimed Dr. McDonald
“I had no idea that such a philosophy
existed in this modern year of 1935!"
The doctor was plainly astonished.
Jonas’ Bill Only
Alternative Left
(Continued from Page One.l
Jonas bill would set up a .State pro
hibition commission, with a. State Pro
hibition commissioner and 60 State
prohibition agents, to direct and su
pervise the enforcement of the State
prohibition law in North Carolina. It
Iso carried an appropriation of $75,-
000 a year to pay the expenses of the
commission and of the 60 prohibition
agents.
"If this General Assembly docs not
pads my bill to set up State liquor
stores' and for the strict control of
the liquor business in North Carolina.
I do not see how it can refuse to pass
the Jonas bill,” Senator HiU said. “For
if .this is ; .not,, willing fto set
tip a liquor control plan as outlined
in my bill'to sef.’up State liquor stores
it must , of' necessity be in favor of
the Jonas plan for strict enforcement
of the present prohibition laws —un-
less it favors the continuation of the
present wide-ypen bootleg system now
in use in the State. But I cannot be
lieve that the people of North Caro
lina nor the present General Assem
bly want the present crime-breeding
bootleg system, with its gangsters and
racketeers, continued.
"I am confident, as are thousands
of sincere personal drys in all sec
tions of the State, that my plan for
State liquor stores will bring about
better conditions, with more temper
ance, less drunkenness and less boot
legging than ■would the Jonas plan for
strict enforcement. I also believe that
instead of having only 60 State pro
hibition agents, as proposed by Jonas
in his bill, that at least 600 would be
needed to bring about anything like
adequate enforcement of the present
prohibition laws.
"Another advantage of my plan is
that it would bring' in between $3,600.-
000 State at least $75,000 a. year while
the bootleggers would continue to
reap their untaxed profits as in the
i past. My personal opinion is that it
Henderson Daily DispatcH
M. Watkins, chairman of the Vance
Board of County Commissioners.
At the conclusion of the annual
meeting, the directors elected officers
to serve during the coming year, as
follows: Henry T. Morris, president;
Mrs. Alex Cooper, vice-president; J.
W. Jenkins, secretary; Dr. H. A.
Newell, treasurer and business man

Under an arrangement vfith the
Duke Endowment, the hospital re
ceives $1 per hospital day for com
plete charity cases, this covering the
2.182 hospital days given in that class
ification. which amounted to around
forty percent of the total last year.
He was shocked.
Dr. McDonald marveled still more
when your correspondent told him
that Senator John Sprunt Hill had
received more than 200 such letters
because he had introduced a liquor
control bill.
“I knew,” said the doctor, “that the
fingers of corporations are pointed at
me, but I didn’t know the Lord had
joined them. It is certainly news to
me—and very discouraging when one
considers how much we have spent
for education.”
Dr. McDonald, being a former col
lege professor, is well-versed in the
ories and isms, and should know that
he is living in what Mencken long age
termed the Bible Belt. Too. Dr. Mc-
Donald once lived in Arkansas (of all
places!) where the teaching of evolu
tion is forbidden by statute.. The law
does not prohibit, however. Arkan

would cost the State at least $250,000
a year to bring about anything like
adequate enforcement of the present
dry’ law’s, for the reason that public
opinion and public sentimert is not in
sympathy with it.’’
Under the terms of the Jonas bill
the State prohibition commissioner
and the 60 State prohibition agents
would have “general supervision over
the city and county law enforcement
officers" in tho. enforcement of the
State prohibition law. By that it is
generally understood that these pro
hibition agents would have the pow
er to give orders to the various sher
iffs. their deputies, as well as to all
city police departments. The intent
of this section of the law, of course,
is to take the enforcement of the
prohibition laws out of local politics
and make it impossible for a sheriff
or chief of police or police office:
to protect any bootlegger or ilicit.
distiller.
But the actual effect of the Jonas
bill, should it pass, would be set up
a state-w’ide super-police force of li
quor snoopers who would have more
authority than the sheriffs, chiefs of
police and other law officers of the
State, since they would have power
to give orders to the sheriffs and po
lice chiefs, it is pointed out here. Thus
the various local units—the counties,
cities and towns —w’ould lose all ves
tige of the power of local self gov
ernment. as far as the enforcement of
the State prohibition law is concern
ed and w’ould be entirely at the mercy
of this force of (State dry- agents.
The Jonas bid. according to most
observers here. w r as undoubtedly in
troduced more for the publicity which
he and the Republican party would
get as a result from it and as a bid
for support from the dry Democrats.
For the mere fact that bill was intro
duced by a Republican and especially
by Jonas virtually assures its defeat.
But if the drys win out and defeat
the Hill bill, to be consistent it is
agreed that they then should enact
the Jonas bill. But they won’t They
will instead keep the present widc
open bootleg dispensary system, un
der which liquor is no farther away
than one’s telephone.

THREE BOUND OVER
ON LIQUOR CHARGE
Huffman, Vickers and Wil
liams Held for Federal
Court Term In May
Three white men were bound over
to the May term of Federal court in
Raleigh by Jasper B. Hicks. United
States commissioner, at a. hearing
late Tuesday afternoon, all on char
ges of violating Federal liquor laws.
Jesse B. Huffman was allowed bond
of SSOO, while bond of $l5O each was
permitted for Claiborne Vickers and
Edward Williams, employees in the
Huffman place of business on the na
tional highway just outside the North I
Henderson mill community.
!T*c specific charge ;agn|nst the
three men was that of "retailing
spirituous whisky, and removing and
aiding and abetting in removing non
tax-paid spirits to places other than
bonded warehouses.’’
H. G. Gulley, of Raleigh, head of
the alcoholic division of the Federal
government in the State, was here for
the hearing. Gulley and several other
agents made the arrests several w’eeks
ago. and the hearing yestreday fol
lowed several continuonce of the I
cases. John D. Norton, an investigator
of the Department of Justice, testified
that he had bought liquor at Huff
man’s place on two separate occasions ;
once from Vickers and one from Wil

would permit the courts to exercise
discretion in sentencing violators of
the drunken driving clause of the
bill and exclude as evidence records j
of the State highway department in j
trials arising from the administration i
of the act. Corey wrote in the original ■
bill a mandatory two-dav jail sentence
for violators of the provision.
Monday night the Senate passed the. |
measure with the House amendments
included, but Senator Corey served I
notice that he would ask for recon- I
sideration of the bill. Despite the fact I
that he made a fervent plea for re- j
consideration, basing his argument on I
the two-day sentence and charging *
that f i voritism would be shown xn j
cases growing out of violation of the •
act unless a minimum mandatory sen- !
tence was written in the 'bill, his mo- !
tion for reconsideration was voted
down. Senator Carl Bailey, of Wash
ington. opposed Senator Corey in a
speech to the Senate. Senators Spence
chairman of the roads committee, said
he did not like the house amend
ments. but voted for the hill with the
amendments added because he was
“anxious for the bill to become law
without further delay.”
Those who can show that they have
driven satisfactorily for the past year
will not be required to pass an ex
amination. Anyone applying for a
driver’s license after Nov. 1 will be
reuuired to pass an examination, the ■
rules of which will be laid down .by

sider'd next as a result of the driver’s

GOLD DECISION HAD
THREE MAIN ISSUES
Private Contracts, Government Con
tracts and Gold Certificates In
Court Ruling
In its recent decision on gold
clauses in contracts, the United States
Supreme Court had three momentous
issues in determine, says the New
York Times, in an articel in its issue
of last 8. nday clarifying the court’s
action. The Times said:
The Tliree Issues.
Three momentous issues were be
fore the court.
Private Contracts. Could railroads
and other issuers of bonds, which con
tained a promise to pay the holder in
gold, pay instead in Roosevelt dol
lars and refuse to pay either gold or
its equivalent?
The court held that they could —
that no contract could limit the power
of Congress to regulate the currency.
Government Contracts. Was it con
stitutional for the government, which
had issued securities containing a
promise to pay the holder in gold,
to pay in Roosevelt dollars and to re
fuse to pay either in gold or its
equivalent?
The court held that it was uncon
stitutional. that it was repudiation;
but at the same time ruled that the
litigant who raised the question had
failed to show that he had suffered
damage so far as the buying power of
his money was concerned, and there
fore he had no right to sue in the
Court of Claims, the only tribunal in
which such damages might be col
lected.
•Gold Certificates: Was ft constitu
tional for the government to refuse
to redeem “yellowbacks” with gold in
the face of the promise to do so
written on them?
The court held that in paying dol
lar for dollar (Rooseveltidollar for
gtdd-dcllar) the government handed
over currency which did not repre
sent any loss to the receiver; there

age. the receiver had nothing to re
