White Man Dies In
North State Prison
Haleigh, N. C., Sept. 22.?Gas fumes
today choked out the life of 21-yearold
James L. Godwin at Central prison
here.
Godwin died for the murder of Donuld
Moss, a High Point textile worker,
whose car he tiled to commander
after escaping from Jail at I^exlngton
by the aid of the Jailer's daughter.
Taking a final puff from a clgarot,
the youth entered the death chamber
at 10.01 this morning.
He smiled faintly at witnesses whoi
watched him strapped Into the chair. I
When the chaplain and prison off 1-!
clals started out of the chamber, God-j
win called back to Warden H. H.|
Wilson, squeezed his hand in farewell1
and leaned back to wait for fumes to i
rise under the chair.
Physicians gestured that Godwin's
heart stopped beating 13 minutes and |
20 seconds after the gas sturted at
10.03.
The youth's parents claimed his
body.
The former president of a High
Point Sunday school class was the
22tith person executed hero Blnce
1010. the "?4th by gas, the 181st for
murder, and the 44th white man.
"1 have said ull I care to say about
It," Chaplain L. A. Watts quoted Godwin
as telling him before the execution
I affirm my faith in the Christian
i ' liglon and my belief In Immortality.
If at any time you would liko
to do so, you may use my life us an
example to other youths to prevent
them from going in the same direction
1 went."
The chaplain said Godwin last night
led the prisoners of death row In
Hinging "My Faith Looks Cp to Th.ee".
after a brief religious service.
Charlie Fain, negro, convicted in

Bulldogs Invade
Darlington Camp
When the Camden Bulldogs Invade
Darlington tonight for the annual
grid scrap with Darlington highs, It
will be a greatly Improved Camden
squad. The Bulldogs realized the
opening performance with Klngstree
last week was a disappointment to
their followers and practice sessions
this week have been featured by an
alertness and snap that has been
pleasing to coach and members of the
strategy board.
Hallbirds who claim to be game
analyslsts declare the Bulldogs were
over-confident when tbcy took the
field against the lighter Klngstree
outfit and the stubborn battle the
visitors put up upset the locals and
threw them far off their timing. However,
the theory most generally accepted
was that It was the first gamo
of the season and also the first time
some of the warriors have worked
together in actual grid warfare.
On Friday, October tJ, the Bulldogs
' Invade the lair of the Sumter Gamecocks
and this promises to be the
peak game of the season for the fans
of the rival camps. If Sumter can
defeat the Bulldogs, the student body
and townspeople of that city will probably
stage a celebration of gigantic
proportions. The defeats of the past
two seasons, each by a wide score,
has rankled deep in the minds of the
Gamecocks and their followers and
the feathered tribe is out to make
amends. Camden will send a large
number of fans to Sumter for the
game.
It has been estimated that approximately
one-fifth of the total population
of Great Britain carry life Insurance
of one form or another.

! More Jobs for
I College Gratis
Prospects for Employment
Brighter This Year,
Survey Shows.
' MINNEAPOLIS.?More Jobs await
1 the nation's college graduates this ;
year than were available for last |
year's seniors. More employers ar$ |
represented on college campuses |
this spring, and more Jobs are offered
per employer, the Northwestern
National Life Insurance company
finds in its fourth annual survey
of employment demand.
Of 100 universities and colleges
reporting in the survey, 63 And the
number of employment calls definitely
greater than a year ago; Increases
range from 10 per cent to
200 per cent. Only 14 schools find
employment demand lower this
year, and tha remaining 23 per cent
report about tha aame number of
job calls for their graduates as iij
the spring of 1938. .
Based on current employment demand,
67 of the colleges estimate
that 80 per cent or more of their
seniors will be In positions before
the end of 1936; a number see ample
demand to furnish Jobs for all their
graduates who are seeking employment.
Bid for New Personnel.
Technical and industrial conoerns
are active bidders for new personnel
this year, with aviation showing the
greatest expansion in demand. Accounting
and sales promotion jobs
are offered by a wide diversity of
manufacturing, wholesale and retail
concerns. Various phases of governmental.
work provide the bulk of
the placement opportunities for several
schools.
Starting salaries are at approximately
the same levels as last year,
generally ranging between $95 and
$135 per month, though outstanding
seniors are getting offers of $175 in
some cases.
"If general business should make
a fairly definite upturn, there is a
latent demand for more men than
the colleges could supply," comments
a placement official of Dartmouth's
school of administration
and finance.
"Employment calls are 10 to 15
per cent above 1938; last year many j
employers delayed commitments;
this year Job offers are generally ;
definite," reports Boston univer- j
sity's college of business adminiatration.
"Employment demand is 25 per (
cent better than in 1938; a number,
of students have two or more offers
to choose from," says the report
from Brown university, while
Columbia finds 30 per cent more
Jobs available for this year's !
seniors.
Increase in Placements.
Pitt university reports a 65 per
cent increase in total placements
to date, including seniors, graduate
students and night school students.
University of Cincinnati's college of
engineering and commerce reports
75 per cent of its June graduates
already placed.
Both Drake and Indiana universities
report employment calls up
100 per cent from last year. Minnesota
reports a considerable gain
in job calls, with "a notable increase
in calls for men with experience?twice
as many opportunities
for our alumni as a year ago."
In the South, Virginia Polytechnic
finds its employment calls running
over 50 p^r cent greater, and
University of Tennessee reports:
"Employment demand is at least
triple that of 1938." University of
Georgia finds this "the best placement
season since 1931."
Little or no change in volume of
employment demand is reported by
schools of the West and Southwest.
Several, however, like Leland Stanford's
college of engineering, placed
all graduates last year and expect
to do the same this yeai.

Camden Victorious
Over Kingstree
(By The Skipper)
Hetw#en six and seven hundred
root ball Uiih at Zemp stadium Friday
night saw a scrappy alert Kingstree
team hold the Camden Bulldogs to u
13 to 0 score, the two touchdowns and
conversion being registered midway
in the first half.
It was a game which sent many of
tho faithful home with dire misgivings
of the ll>3t> football future of the
Bulldogs, but which actually did not
mean a thing, It being an opening
game and against a team that inwardly
the Hulldogs did not take any too
seriously And we know what ovbiv
conlldeuce does.
Camden opened the game with a
starting lineup consisting of Zemp at
left end; Boy kin at left tackle; Price
at left guard; Merrill at center; Stein
at right guard; Hough at right tackle;
Marshall at right end and Billy
Mullen, Johnny Mullen, Sheorn and
McCasklll in the backfleld. Jack Marshall
was captain In charge and his
strategy was quite all right.
The visitors uncovered two good
ground-gainers in Don Montgomery |
and his brother "Red," while Wingate
and Floud, ends, showed a lot of
stuff.
Camden made Its first scoring 1
thrust in the closing minutes of the
tlrst quarter. The Bulldogs had been
pounding away at the Boll Weevil
line and making some gains, but
mainly through off-side penalizations
against the visitors. After Bobby'
Bell, Cox and Bundrick had been tossed
into the battle the locals worked
the ball to striking distance and Bell
breezed over to score the first touchdown
of the season. A pass Belk to
Cox added the extra point.
Early In the second quarter Cox
got away for a twenty-five yard scoring
dash but the conversion effort, a
pass, Bell to Bundrick, was Incomplete
when Bobby heaved the ball
yards ahead of the Intended receiver.
That was the end of the scoring.
The' visitors never really offered a
scoring threat except In the closing
minutes of the first half when the
pass Montgomery to Floyd and then
the lateral to Bryan put the ball in
scoring distance of the Bulldog posts.
The ruling of Referee Montjoy dashed
the hopes of the visitors?If they
had any. I
The second half was a ding-dong
battle In which the ball repeatedly
changed hands either because of failure
to make downs or through penalizations.
Bell did some nice kicking,
one sock In the closing period of the
third quarter traveling fully fifty-five
yards. I
Camden travels to Darlnigton tonight
when they meet a team that is
rated as having a lot of beef and
power. I
