and Inability To Get Labor Wise July 24--Henry Coleman highly respected citizen and prosperous farmer shot himself through the head at 810 this morning at his home about two miles north of Wise He had been in bad health for a number of years suffering from a serious heart trouble which affected his nervous system This Wing after the crept was started a tenant upon whom he and his brother had depended to do the heavy work left the farm The fact that neither the deceased nor hie brother was able to work the crop and labor was hard to procure bore on the sick man's mind until he got the idea that he was coming to want This was an obsession because the crops were in good condition and the Coleman brother independent financially They were both unmarried a nephew Lived with them but was away at the time of the shooting took place The older brother had been warned by the doctor that Henry was apt to commit suicide and had watched him carefully but this morning stepped out of the house for about five minutes to feed his dogs He heard the shot but did not realize what had happened until he approached the house and saw his brother sitting on the back door step dead The deceased was 63 years of age and a consistent church member He is survived by two brothers Coleman with whom he lived Thomas Coleman of Rocky Mount and two sisters Mrs Fred Wiggins of Norlina and Mrs Sally Powell of Wise Funeral services will be held at the family burying ground near Paschall at four o'clock Monday afternoon conducted by Rev A Stephens of Norlina Flood Relief Not Likely To Be Big Item In Congress (Continued from Ono) motive The arguments and plans for a special session were not strong enough to overcome what is obviously one of President Coolidge's strong preoccupations namely to have Congress in session little as possible and to confine its sessions to those ulnae imperative by the constitution It is undoubtedly this 'permanent conviction that has kept him in an unreceptive attitude of mind White House Investigation On one occasion during June Mr Coolidge in talking with newspaper men in Washington gave tentative and strongly qualified assent to the notioin it might be 'desirable to have a special session a few weeks before the regular session in December A ittle later Senator Smoot coming from the White House after a talk utih the President made a definite prediction there would be a special session Smoot's assertion had hardly appeared in the Washington evening papers when the White House gave out a definite statement contravening it Much of Washington thought the White House statement reflected irritation More recently when Secretary Hoover was arriving at the President's vacation home to report on the flood despatches sent to Washington papers contained an innuendo that the President had taken pains to ask Hoover rot to make any public declaration in favor of a special session As to specific reasons for the President's reluctance to call the pro-posed special session one of the despatches from Mr Coolidge's vacation headquarters presumably based on inference said that the President feels sessions of Congress are disturbing to business Another despatch said: "The chief advisers of the Administration anticipate a Congress devoted to politics agitation against a third term and the formation of campaign issues for next year Therefore unless something more urgent than now appears arises the belief exists that President Coolidge will not call a special session" The outstanding leader in favor of a special session is Senator Smoot As a rule leaders of Congress will take their attitude from the President's cue The willingness for an extra session among some of the rank and file of Congress is dictated mainly by personal considerations Next year is the one in which their primaries and elections come Consequently they would like to get back to their districts not later than June and earlier is possible Since there is an immense program of work for the coming Congress they are willing it should begin a little earlier than December 06wo Mound of Earth South of Clinton Mecca For Many (Continued from Page One) NMkb formed by officers that it

Back Wilmington July 24---(AP)--Dusk with the shadows falling over mountains and sea found a new record for North Carolina when the automobile which left here this morning at dawn crossed Cape Fear river after having spent part of the noon hour in Asheville Whistles sirens and deep-throated horns of sea going vessels announc-1 ed the arrival of the big sedan as It pulled up -to the ferry on the westside 'of the river at 7:50 25 minutes ahead of the schedule which had been logged b3r the driver and Carolina Motor Club officials Thousands were at the ferry landing to welcome the car and to congratulate the passengers who had written an important addition to North Carolina highway history A total distance of 639 miles exact reading of the speedonicter had been covered with more than an hour out of the actual time of 15 hours and 40 minutes for fuelling and lunch in Asheville -where a message of greeting and copy of the Morning Star of Sunday morning were handed a representative of Galleten Roberts mayor of the mountain city Message From Mayor The message of greeting was from Walter Blair mayor of Wilmington and preceded the personal greeting the seaside official will give the mountain executive when the motorcade from this city will visit the West August 2 The motorcade will be another personal invitation for all to attend 'The Feast of Pirates" mammoth water festival to be held in this city a week later Lamont Smith editor of the Star was the first to alight from the ear RS the softly purring engine propelled the sedan to its official stopping place in front of the

Forest College alone will send 76 students including two omen Other institutions are also said to be preparing large classes The list of applicants will be an-flounced this week Other States Boasting Coss Material Resources Have Great Fairs CITIZENS URGED TO CAST BALLOTS EARLY Former Mayor Says Raleigh Would Get Black Eye By Failing Tuesday Raleigh citizens will go to the polls tomorrw to make sure that the Fifth State in material resources will continue in company with otters progressive if not all so wellto-do states with State Fain Only a matter of $75000 stands between Raleigh and the State Fair and growing interest in the election has made it virtually certela that the vote will be overwhelmingly in favor of the Fair The $75000 will be added to about $125000 gained from the sale of the old fair grounds and used to construct buildings on a site near Raleigh to be set aside by the State in accordance with an act of -the last Legislature While thia will keep North Carolina in company with other State Fair states it will not boost it into the same company it claims when it broadcasts the title "Fifth State" Other State Fairs New York for instance has a State Fair plant valued at $3000000 kept up with annual appropriations of $150000 and offering premiums totaling $60000 in value But New York outranks North Carolina in material resourmes so comparison may better be made with some Southern states to which North Carolina does not concede leadership: Louisiana has 152 aeres in her fair plant valued at $250000 and offers annual premiums of $51000 Maenad has 326 acres valued at $1- 500000 and gives $75000 worth of premiums Ia the Middle West there are states to make North Carolina blush too Iowa has a plant worth $2000000 and donates $55000 annu11y in premiums and Michigan has a plant worth a cool million and boasts an annual premium list of $100000 So by comparison it would not appear that the present ends sought by backers of the State Fair are disappropriate to the boasted standing of the State Wynne Backs Fair Former Mayor Wynne who has not been a resident of the city for several years but who has kept close tab on Raleigh's progress from
