who died at the Greenwood Hospital last night from a knife wound in the chest inflicted at his home in the Hughesville section of Ware Shoals last Saturday afternoon. Flem, who was rested by Chief Charles D. Strawhorr. immediately after the cutting. is still in the county jail.

His case will be given to the grand jury at the September term of court convening on September 11th. Testimony at the inquest held in the office of Magistrate Proffitt at Ware Shoals did not establish the cause of the fight between the two brothers resulting 1n1 the death of Zeb Woods there were several eye -witnesses whose evidence showed that the two boys fought first in Zeb's home, then on the porch and later at an automobile, after Zeb had been cut. Both then went to Dr. J. B.

Workman's office with Zeb driving the car. Dr. Workman testified that the wound was on the right side about the ninth rib and penetrated the chest wall. Pneumonia developed Tuesday and death followed yesterday. Eugene Willard, one of the eyewitnesses, said he saw Zeb standing on his front porch with a stick of stove wood in his hand and heard him tell Flem, who was standing on the ground.

with an open knife: "You can't come to my house and do this way." and Flem replied. "I will cut you throat." Flem then started on the porch, the witness said, and Zeb hit him two or three times with the wood. Willard said "some of the women" called to him and Edgar Faulkner to part, the two men, but they refused to have anything to do with the fight. Willard said after the cutting Zeb told Flem: "If you will throw down your knife I'll give you a whipping. And Flem threw down the knife and Zeb the stick of wood and they started fighting with their fists." Mrs.

Zeb Woods testified that Flem had spent Friday night and Saturday morning: at her home. She heard the two brothers fussing but did not know what about. She also said that her husband did not get the stick of wood until Flem had pulled out his knife." Other witnesses were Edgar Faulkner, E. T. Lollis and Henry Bowen.

Solicitor Homer S. Blackwell attended the inquest and questioned the witnesses. The Woods brothers came to Ware Shoals from Woodruff several months ago. They are natives of Jackson county, North Carolina, and lived near Sylva. Police Chief Charles D.

Strawhorn said he had been informed by the chief of Morganton, N. C. that Flem Woods was wanted there on a charge of stabbing a man five times and that a reward had been offered for his arrest. Mr. Strwahorn also said he had been informed that Flem had been in other trouble in North Carolina before going to Wocdruff.

The dead man leaves his widow and two small children. Flem Woods also is married Interpretation Of N. R. A. The president's re-employment a- greement was written in language intended to be flexible to meet any varieties of conditions.

As a result, interpretations will be required from time to time as uncertainties in the application of the agreement develop. Interpretation No. 2 Concerning Paragraph 4: A person who believes that some particular provision in the agreement, because of peculiar circumstances, will create great and unavoidable hardship, should prepare a petition to asking for a stay of this provision as to him. He should then submit this petition to the trade association of his industry, or if there is none, to the local chamber of commerce or similar representative organization designated by NRA for its approval. The writ.

ten approval of the trade associa- tion, or such other organization, will be accepted by NRA as the basis for a temporary stay, without further investigation, pending decision by NRA. The petition must contain a promise to abide by NRA's decision. SO that if NRA decides against the petitioner, he must give effect to the provision which was stayed, from the date of the decision of NRA. The petition and approval of the trade association or other organication, as prescribed above, should be forwarded to NRA in Washington; and the employer's signed copy of president's re-employment a- then greement should be sent to the district office of the department of commerce. After complying with these requirements the employer will be entitled to receive and display the blue eagle by delivering his certificate of compliance to his post office.

Paragraph 14 is not intended to provide for group exceptions, but only to meet cases of individual hardship. Interpretation No. 3 Concerning date of compliance: It is expected that all employers desiring to cooperate with the president's recovery program will sign the agreements promptly and mail that it will be physically impossible them in. It is recognized, however, in many instances to adjust employment conditions and to hire the necessary additional personnel in order to comply with the agreement on August 1. For that reason, vision has been made for issuing the blue eagle only upon the filing of a certificate of compliance.

It should be possible in most cases to make the necessary adjustments and file certificate of compliance within the first week of August, and such action, taken as promptly as possi-, ble, will be regarded as carrying out the agreement in good faith. Interpretation No. Concerning Paragraph 13: All employers are expected to sign the agreament, whether codes have been submitted to NRA or not (unless such codes have already been approved; but after the president has approved a code, or after NRA has approved of the substitution of the provisions of a code for agreements in the trade or industry cov-' ered, conformity with the code visions by an employer will be regarded as compliance with his individual agreement. Interpretation No. 5 Concerning Paragraph 9: Where the July 1, 1933, price WAS a distress price, the employer signing the agreement may take his cost price on that date as the base for such increase in selling price as is permitted.

by Paragraph 9. Interpretation No. 6 Concerning employments covered by the agreement: The following groups of employment are not intended to be coverled by the president's re-employment (agreement: 1. Professional occupations. 2.

Employes of federal, state and local governments and other public institutions and agencies. 3. Agricultural labor Domestic servants. 5. Persons buying goods and selling them independently or persons selling solely on commission, provided, however, that persons -regularly employed to sell on commissicn, with a base salary or guaranteed compensation, come within the requirements of the agreement.

Taxi Dancer Loses Hubby At The Altar NEW ORLEANS, Aug. Police early Wednesday broke up a planned wedding party when they Frederick arrested Bader, the 26, bride and informed the intended bride, Mrs. Billie Harris, 24, taxi dancer, that her fiancee was wanted on a bench warrant in Nessau County, N. on a The arrest was made at 2 a. m.

YOUTH'S THROAT IS CUT BY MAN Charlie Gaines, Honea Path, Charged With Attacking Small Boy ANDERSON, Aug. 10. -A seven-old school boy is in the son County hospital with a slashed throat, and an unemployed textile worker, 30, is held in the county jail, as the result of a strange altercation at Honea Path last night, the circumstances of which thus far defy explanation.

The boy, Larry Abercrombie, will live, physicians say. A deep gash about four inches long was cut diagonally across the right side of his neck, severing several important muscler. but missing the jugular vein by a narrow margin. He was considerably weakened by loss of blood, it is understood. In Jail is Charlie Gaines, a mature young man.

He staunchly refused to make any statement last night other than that Everybody ought to be treated alike." What he meant by this officers and others were unable to discern. The cutting occurred about 7 o'clock in front of the Abercrombie home, on Chiquola street. Gaines came walking up the opposite sidewalk from the direction of his home a short distance away, near the ice plant, according to eye witnesses, and on seeing the little Abercrombie boy crossed the street and advanced toward him. When within a few feet of the boy 118 drew out a pocket knife and opened it. witnesses said, and with a quick motion seized little Larry and plunged the knife into his throat.

Then, turning, he dashed back down the street. Among those who witnessed the act was the boys mother, Mrs. Jule Abercrombie, and Jim Henderson. Considerable excitement was caused by the act, news of which spread quickly, and Honea Path policemen rushed Gaines to the jail in Anderson for safe keeping. He was found at his home sitting in a rocking chair, and offered no resistance when Chief G.

W. Paige and Policeman C. M. Smith and M. H.

Ashley told him that he was wanted. All the way to Anderson he kept repeating, "Everybody ought to be treated alike." Chief Paige said. So far as investigating officers could learn there had been no trouble between the Gaines and Abercrombie families. The injured child could give no explanation of the act and Gaines refused to talk. The whole situation will probably remain a riddlefl theretore, until the defendant chooses to open up and explain himself.
