Hartness and J.E.Boyd as trustees. Mr.Bentley had claimed that.hisstockand-fixtures were worth $1,800. but the inventory taken under the di- rection of the officers showed his stock to be worth only $246.12,andthefixtures.were estimated to -be worth $441.50,making a total of only $687.62,less than half.the amount named by Bentley.As stat- ed in Friday’s Landmark,Bentley had $1,000 instrance on the stock, but he admitted that he thought he had $1,800,thinking .that the $300 permit attached to the policy was that much additional insurance.

The Supreme Court has °affirmedtheconstitutionalityofthelaw,en-acted.by the recent Legislature,ap- pointing a road commission for commission~tobondstobuild good roads.‘The ap-}was from.the refusal of Judge yon to grant to opponents of the bond issue.a restraining order againstthenewroadcommissionanditséx-oe of the powers conferred upon Justices Brown and Walker dissent,Justice Brown filing the dissenting~_opinion.inthis the—-position is..tak-en that the Supreme Court should-re-verse itself in the matter of the ex-tentto which the principle of issu- ance-of bonds for -“necessary ex-penses”of county:or municipal pur- poses can be stretched.The dissent- ing opinoin declares that.it never en- tered the minds of the framers of the constitution in 1868 that article 7, section 7,would ever be construed to empower road commissioners to is- sue $300,000 bonds -without—vote—ofthecitizensofthecounty.It is con- tended,further,that there is no lim-it*to the extent to which this con- struction can be stretched.The bond issue might as well be $1,000,000 as~~$30,000,so far as the construction-of the court as to the “necessary ex- ‘..penses”is concerned.Coleen‘The controlling opinion of the court in the case merely reaffirms thepositionofthecourtinCommission ers vs.Commissioners from Yancey county,165 N.C.Reports,holdingthatthisisamatter_in which the ju-diciary department has no power overtheco-ordinate legislative branch of State government,and that the rem-edy is with the people in procuring whatever legislation can be had from a subsequent Legislature to give re- lief;as was the casé in the Yanceycountycasecited..The court holds,ag to the issue of defects in the ma- chinery,for condemning.lands for road purposes,that this is not an is- sue that can be raised at this stage and that at no stage could it involve any injunction proceeding such asthatatbar. Births and Deaths For March— Failures to Make Reports. The March report of Miss AnnieMarvin,registrar of births ‘anddeathsforStatesvilletownship, shows 18 births and 20 deaths daur- #-ing-the past_month..Twelve of the .,births and 11 of the deaths occurred within the corporate limits of States- ville.Three of the deaths and two of the births were colored people.This is probably the first time Miss ~Marvin’s report has shown more deaths than births,and this instanceisprobablyduetothefactthattwo peomcians did not make reports.on irths,which is a violation of the -vi- tal statistics law.The registrars of ©vital statistics have little trouble in keeping up withthedeaths,but it )is known that_many..births,especially among thécoloredpeople,are not.reported,TheStateissendingoutspecialagents to prosecute persons guilty of viola- tions of the law and when Statesvilleisvisitedbyanagentitisquite probable that there wil be some cases for his investigation.The law re-quires that all births and deaths must be reported to”the —registrar, and it is not the business of the reg-istrar to “run after”the doctors,mid-wives and,undertakers ‘to’get.the in- formation. Crop Prospects and the Dairy Industry. Talking about.crops in The Land- mark office a few.days ago,Dairy Agent J.A.Arey,who travels all about in this section of the State, says wheat is looking well,that oatsandcloverarethin,much of the lat-{__ter-crops_beingfrozenoutduringthe} past winter.Fertilizer is a little off in price,cotton is going up andMr.Arey fears that combination may induce farmers to plant more cotton than they should plant. The outlook for the dairy industry.|.however,Mr,Arey finds very encour- aging.Many farmers are putting in some cattle.They begin —selling cream to the creameries and that brings returns at once.Then they find that keeping cattle means soil improvement and they grow more feedstuff for cattle and increase the number of cattle.In—this way—Mr,Arey feels that the cattle and dairyindustrywillgrow,the land will be|improved and grains and grasses willgraduallytaketheplaceofmuchofthecotton.(Mr.Arey.advocates growing Ber-muda grass on the hillsides.It will keep the land oe washing andaemakes’good Past Masonic Officers. iNew officers of the Statesville hip:ter--of Royal Arch Masons.were:in-stalled Tuesday night as follows:Dr.John C.Dye high priest,Wi E.Webbking,J,D.Cochrane seribe,Dr P.F.Laugenour treasurer,Jas,M,Ramseyseeretary,W._L:Gilbert captain.ofhost,W.'W,Holland principal _s0o-jounAa,P,P.Purnell arch caaptain,A.Le Lockwood _‘veil;J.B.ra ‘second wel,ae Gaither third W.J.Pains is suffeTeneriodpoisoninhisian otesulting,from a’wasp sting.

That the suit has long been.plan-ned was indicated by the careful man- the proceedings were announced.Copies of correspondence between the bank and the Treasury,a summary of the-alegations—in—the_court_bill and. a statement from the officials of the bank were.handed out in printed form seph W.Bailey of Texas,counsel for the plaintiff: For two years the controversy be- iWeen the Treasury and the officersoftheRiggsNationalBankhasbeen earried on,Secretary McAdoo_pre- cipitated if when he ordered a clerk of the bank removed from the office of the Comptroller shortly after the inauguration of President Wison.

No doubt the public generally expect- edthe Governor to pardon Wilcox. He was convicted on circumstantial evidence.It was for this reason that -the verdict was second degree mur- der instead of -first degree.Many people have argued that if Wilcox was guilty he deserved death and if| not guilty he should go free.This argument favored the pardon Appli-/ “cation.Hehad servednearhalfof hed been “punished .‘considering the element ofdoubtthatisalwaysinvolvedincir- cumstantial evidence,others contend- ed.Then there was the final clincher don without doubt—the prisoner had developed tuberculosis since his con- finement in the State prison andthereforeought'to go free.The Gov-ernor does not find sufficient merit in‘these:contentions’to warrant the par-don;and the unbiased ‘reader of his for refusing the Wilcox ap- ition finds ‘his logic unanswera- _Considering all these facts,when -the Governor grants a pardon one does not think should be granted;or when he refuses one one may think should be granted,it is well to re- ‘jember that the Governor has all the ,facts he can get and has decided the case on its merits,as it appears to him.'His judgment may not be your eee,but it is his prerogative to decide,The hearing of these appli- cations for pardon,the urgent,insist- ent ‘and constant appeals to the Gov-|, ‘ernor’s sympathy,isa’great strain. When he says no he realizes the bit- ter disappointment of the applicant and his friends and the serious conse- quences involved.To say yes when Should not be.said also involves se- lous consequences too.It is an ordeal to which no one man should be.sub- jected.For his relief,the Governor *should not be required to take all the ‘responsibility in these cases.The final arbiters should be a.board of ‘pardons of three men—men selected for their common sense and good :judgment;for their capacity to con--sider all matters from the standpoint{of merit and thus as far removed as ‘Possible from the

T..E,Browne,in charge ..of the Boys’Corn Club work,in North Car- olina,_has-just-sent out.vouchers.toj the winners in-the 1914 corn contest. The vouchers totalled”$450,“which sum is the gift of the North Carolina Board.of Agriculture to the lucky boys.There are ten districts in North Carolina,and-to each one of them will go $45 to the winners.The prizes are $15,$12.50,$10,$5 and $2.50. Dadley Hall,the champion grower of North Carolina,will receive a free scholarship to A.&M.College.There are numerous other local and county prizes which,the winning boys:will receive for their labors.The agents:state there is a won- derfully growing interest among the boys in their search for the scientific facts regarding corn growing and other farming.The prizes,the work- ers say,help to stimulate rivalry,but are not the chief ‘aim of.the’boys when.they are working .their crop.

A TRANSFORMER STATION. Southern Power Co.Will Erect Big Transformer Station in Statesville and Will Distribute‘Power From Here.>« The Southern Power’Company is; ‘arranging to build a big transform- er station in the vicinity of States- “ville.‘That Statesville has “been de-, the plant wi cided on as the location for the sta- ‘tion is a certainty,but the exact site on which it.will.be.located has.not been definitely detetmined.It will undoubtedly be’on the route of one of the company’s.power lines south of town.Several different tracts of land are under consideration’as thesiteforthestation. -:Mr.C.M.Miller,one-of the Pow- er conipany’s representatives,was in Statesville Wednesday looking over the proposed sites for thestation,but he declined to give out positive infor- mation.It is learned,however;that the--station will be~located near, Statesville and will be an important factor in the company’s gigantic sys- tem;and it seems to be assured thatillbebuiltimmediately and will cost about $50,000, It is understood that the main pow- er lines from four.of the company’s power:plants,including the Lookout Shoals plant now in course of con-—struction_on-the Catawba river,“will be turned into this one large trans- former station and power will be dis- tributed.from here to the numerous sub-stations-of the company.The company .recently cleared the right- of-way for a new power line from Statesville to Salisbury and-it-is—un- dersteod—that—this line will Ie —con- tinued from Statesville to the cite of the new.plant on the Catawba river. The company now has two different lines into Statesville. The fact that the new transformer ——===statiorwilthandle such an_enormous amount of the company's current and the further fact that it will cost $50,- 900,is evidence of its importanceto the power company and to Statesville and Iredell.In addition to the build- ing for the station proper,there will also be one or more residences ‘for the electricians’who will be.in charge of the station.pie gs First Aeroplane Flight—One Scheduled For Today. Statesville’s first acroplave flight }; was “pulled off”Wednesday afternoon under the auspices of the Greater Sheesly Shows,the carnival people. Mr.Chauncey Redding of Melrose, Mass..was the aviutor and he made a short flight in a Wright biplane.The flight was made on the Cowles prop- erty on the Salisbury road and was witnessed by a large crowd.It was the purpose of Mr.Redding to fly over the town and then-go to the carnival grounds,but the wind was rather high and he was forced to -ome down after flying about a mile. ‘The flight started in the field near the railroad and the landing was in the *field in’rear of the home of Mr.I.R. Cowles.: Yesterday carly afternoon the avia- tor made a splendid flight over town, doing several dips and attracting *much -attention and interest. os was wrong.This opinion:proves. aver stir Weather permitting,Mr.Redding will make a flight over the town this ‘afternoon.The start will be from a point near the carnival grounds some time between 3 and 5 o'clock, Forest.Fires in the Mountains,| The hazy appearance of the sky and the redness of the sun in the early morning and late afternoon this week has attracted attention.The smoky atmosphere is undoubtedly due to.the nuniber of forest fires which have been raging in the mountains. Residents of —Burke;-MeDowell—and other mountain counties who were here for Federal court told of.fires in various sections of the Blue Ridge mountains.One of the fires in Me- Dowell county,it was stated,_was started by a spark from a train on the Clinchfield road.It has been suggested that the forest fires are often started purposely by the opera- tors of blockade distilleries,but the mountain people here this week con- sider this.absurd,on the ground that the moonshiners would not start fires at the risk of their own lives and property. Frightened Horse Caused Slight Injury. Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock Mr.J.A.Bradford and sisters,Misses Laura and Berta Bradford,were com- ing to town in a buggy.-When-they were near the railroad crossing this side of Bostian bridee the horse be- ‘enme frightened at an auvomobile,ran up an embankment and threw the oc- cupants out,Miss Berta Bradford was painfully but not seriously in- jured.The others escaped with shake- ups and.no damage resulted,to horse or buggy- The owner of the automobile is un-‘known but-Mex.Bradford secured thenumberandhagemployedcounselto bring suit.Fas Judge Boyd Not Strong asaBibleTeacher,&Presbyterian Standard,Hix Honor,Judge Boyd,may bea fine lawyer,but as an.expositor ofBibleteachingheisbelowpar.Herecentlyinformedthegrand.jury that,if the’Bible taught original sin.itthatdiedthehi INEW PRESIDENT COLLEGE.

The British expeditionary force in France,which at the beginning of the war consisted.of six divisions,has been increased to more than 36,_or, roughly speaking to 750,000 men,acl cording toa statement”by David Lloyd-George,Chancellor of the Ex- chequer,in the House of Commons.The Chancellor added that the place of every man who had fallen in bat- tle had been filled and that the army was adequately equipped.”But he re- iyerated the need.for.munitions,de- claring that during the battle of Nueve Chapelle more.ammunition was used than in the whole of the South African war,.which”lasted nearly three years. The interesting information also was given that the output of the munition factories had been inereased more than nineteen-fold since the out- break of the war but the call was still for more,and,as~Mr.Lloyd- George continues to hold the opinion that consumption of liquor is,inter- fering with the work,he’promised legislation to deal with this matter.

BUSINESS GOVERNMENT. Incompetence in Public Office is Dishonesty and Honesty —isEconomyandCompetency. Brice Craven in Raleigh News and Observer,|eats, Piennially,soon after the adjourn- ment of the Legislature,there arises a seneral:demand for businsss men)in office,for business administrationan]business methods generally. The “business”needed in ind government is not a matter of oc- cupation,but of attitude and charac- ter.Some of the best business men in North:Carolina today are preach- ers,teachers and doctors,and some of the worst have charge.of the com- mereial ‘enterprises that distinguish themselves-only in the bankruptcy proceedings. Ineompetence,waste and ruin of a private enterprise is the owner's own Lusiness and does not con¢gern’the pablie unless he fails to do his dutybythem.These same faults in a public official,however,are entirely diferent.To squander your own mon- ey issa blunder,but xo squander a trust ig a crime.. The kind of business .we need in publie affairs is competence,econo- my and honesty.The greatest’of these is honesty,but the rarest is competence.A public official who hasnotpreparedhimselfforhisjoband has no intention of doing so,violatesallthreequalificationa.The founda- tion fault is with the method ofchoosingthemen,and the.general situation will never be improved un- til we hold the only reason for the choice of any man for office is thathewill’do the work better than any- one else.Justinian:summed up the-ahole in few words:“Live honorably,hurt no one,and give to everyone his due.”When we begin to accept this 2s the basis of law and administra- tion of law,and to choose the officials on that basis,then.we will get the kind of ‘business management we oieht to have,in city,county and State.Se,long,on the other hand,as the basis is political manipulation, favoritism and factionalism,there isnohope-for:-improvement.All the “employers”have to do with it now, as a usual thing,is to make a choice between.several aplicants who force themselves forward,and most of v hom give no reason in the world ex- cont that.they want the job.: Incompetence in public office is dishonesty;and honesty in publie of- fice ig economy and competency.

FAKE MEDICINE CURES. What Has Been Revealed By In- vestigation Under Pure Food and Drug Act... Washington—After investigating: under the food and drugs act,a largenumber:of preparations advertised as consumption cures,the Department of Agriculture has not been able todiscoveranythateaninanysensebe regarded as’“cures”for tuberculosis. Some contain drugs that may at times afford temporary relief from the dis- tressing symptoms of the disease,but this is IL”Since the,passage of Fed- cral legislation prohibiting the ship- ment in inter-State commerce of med- icinal preparations for.‘which false and fraudulent claims are made,there has been a marked tendency to label these preparations “remedies”instead of “cures”or “infallible cures,”as they used to be called.In many cases, however,they cannot even be regard- ed as remedies. A “cherry balsam,”for:example,forthe“cure”of |“consumption”and “hemorrahage of the lungs,”which it was represented would “strike at the very root of the disease,”was found on analysis to be nothing but _a-solu- tion in water and alcohol of opium, sugar,benzaldehyde,inorganic salts and coloring matter.It contained no cherry bark or balsam. Amore elaborate“cure”consistedof-five—-different--preparations-which the credulous patient was ‘to take sep- arately.These were first,the medi- cine proper,the essential ingredients of which were found to be morphine, cinnamic acid and arsenie—not a very safe mixture to take habitually;sec- ond,a tonie which was supposed tocontainironbutdidnot;~third,a “cough mixture”made;up of alcohol, chloroform and codeinc,which is a derivative of opium or morphine; fourth,’a mixture which contained some quinine,and a solution of wa- ter and alcohol;arid fifth;codeine tab- lets.Even the strongest constitution could hardly stand a prolonged course of such a treatment. In the marketing of such prepara- tions considerable ingenuity is fre- quently shown.One of the main ob-! jects is to persuade the patient that he is receiving,at a comparative lowprice,the individual attention .of a trained specialist.For this parpose, symptom blanks are employed,contain a’number of questions aboutthepatient’s symptoms,the number varying from a dozen or so to as many as 70 or 80.The patient is led to be- lieve that the information which hefurnishesinreplyto.these questions, will be carefully considered.beforeany.medicine is -preseribed-for him, though eyesy physician knows that’anjaccuratediagnosiscannotpossiblybemadeinthisway.As a matter of fact-none-is-attempted-and the degree. of attention which these individual re- ports receive can be measured by thefactthatcaseshavecomeundertheobservationofthedepartmentin which mail order concerns doing abusinessofthiskindhavereceivedas many~as 4,000 letters a day. After the patient has submitted his “diagnosis report”he is urged to pur-chase a supply of:the medicine.If he does so,he is then urged’to pur-chase more.If he states that he hasexperiencednobeneficial:effects heistoldthathehas:not taken “enough, and this process is likely to continueuntilthelimits!of his credulity havebeen:reached..If,on the other ‘hand,he decides at the beginning not”topurchasethemedicineitislikelytobeofferedtohimatsuccessivelylowerprieesuntilheisatlast:induced.tobelievethathecannotaffordtoignoresuch_a_bargain.This:is carried —to such an extent that cs “treatment,”theoriginalprieeofwhichis$25,may beofferedat,the end of-six months for $2.50,et ert areAs.a matter of fact the successful treatment of tuberculosis requires much more than the mere giving’of medicine and,moreover,what willhelponecasewillnotnecessarilyhelpanother.Claims that are absolutely unwarranted are no-longer permittedonthelabelsofmedicinesshippedin inter-State commerce,but the word- ing may be such as to convey ‘a mis- leading impression without use of-ab-solute statements.Thus these prep- arations continue to finda sale de-svite the fact that a little trouble on the part of the prospective purchaserwillrevealtheirworthlessness.

Some Facts About the Birds ThatPoe.© Samuel §.Dickey in Philadelphia Ledger.,: The Riblical story of the birds which fed Elijali and “The Raven,”the mys- tic poem by Edgar Allan Poe,have im- mortalized the raven and made its name faniiliat to us all,and yet there are few,persons who have ever seen a live’gpecimen of this bird.It is not generally known that a species of Yaven 1@ ito be found in the Eastern |States,but the truth is that a few /Northern ravens ((corvus corvax |prineipg}is)inhabit lonely and.de- serted’recesses in the Alleghany Mountaiyy system from Vermont.to Northern Goria:; This raven in -generdl appearance resembles its well-known cousin,the comnién crow,but when.viewed at close range may.readily be distir ished by its greater size,Then, too,the raven soars in nyuch the same way as do.some hawks,and eagles, while the crow,with rapid wing beats, pursues its way.* ‘Although they spend much.of their time in the wilder mountain ravines, ravens at times frequent the borders of hunters’,camps to,feed on the re- mains of some slaughtered animal, and at-times they sail out over’culti- vated farm lands,especially in the winter season when.they.are hard pressed.for food.“Here the birds de- vour a quantity of decaying refuse matter.and ate,therefore,useful as scavengers.But they are known ‘to destroy the eggs and young of insec- tivorous birds and it.séems that they do as much harm as beneficial work. 4+_Jt—js well-known that.ravens at- tain a great age,and some,in their advancing years,are said to have yeached the century mark.A pair has been known to live in a»mountain gulch in Centre county,Pennsylvania, for ‘more than —40-years,and it is quite probablé ‘they were ‘there tong hefore-discovered.‘ The Northern raven is an early jester -and.ordinarily—has—completed the laying lof.its eggs by.the second week in March.The site chosen for a home is usually .a projecting rock of sandstone blu hidden away ina re- niote mountain ravine.If no cliffs are to be had,4 tall pine tree may answer the purpose of holding the nest. such placts the ravens construct | huge domivile of sticks,twigs,grassts andbark,which they neatly line with mosses and animal hair.Five or six eggs~often_complete_the clutch,but four will at times comprise the full, laying.These the birds take turns at setting on and incubating until at’ the end of three weeks the |shells -burst and the callow young come into the world...3-5.aoe |eeennareamnmnamsatemetenitinn sia HasPopulated ‘Other States and ..,,,,Has Few.Foreigners. abstract of the thirteenth census of the United States,taken in 1910,is most memeable se She.has ore native born’people—ny reater per ¢éPe hain any otherState in the Union::-At the same time.she~has sent--abroad more of.her=-sons.-.and daughters:than iat ie States:—Other.States of whe.“Oey Bie the North Carolina pop-ulation as follows:Maine,160;‘NewHampshire;107;Vermont;91;,Massa- chusetts;,8,832;Rhode ‘Island,541; Connecticut,1,742;New York,14,- 450;New Jersey,7,720;Pennsylvania, 12,577;Ohio,5,841;Indiana,8,183; Illinois;5,417;-Michigan,867;Wis- consin;,280;Minnesota,524;Iowa,2,- 081;Missouri,7,258;North Dakota, 659;South ‘Dakota,400;Nebraska, 1,360;Kansas,4,128;Delaware,320; Maryland,4.257;District:of Colum- hia,4,482%'Virginia,73,813;West Vir- ginia,93174;South Carolina,42,749; Georgia,,28.963;Florida,17,642;Ken- tucky,4,994;Tennessee,29,066;Ala- bama,8,722;Mississippi,10,554;Ar- kansas,15.459;Louisiana,3,769;Ok- lahorna,19,483;Texas,18,868;Mon- tana,1,100;Idaho,1,681;"Wyoming, 521;Colorado,2,746;New.Mexico, 768;Arizona,461;Utah,‘588;Neva- da,156;Washington,/5.502;Oregon, 2,845,and-California,4,358,f 'The last census gives North Caro- lina a total population of 2,206,287.OF, this number,2,089,278,or 94.7 per cent,were born in the:State and 108,- 605.or 4.9 per cent.in.other States, while 6,092 or 0.8 were born in for- eign countries. f NEWS ITEMSOF INTEREST. ’Gol.Ak,Fairbrother of Everything is-off-to_San_Francisco,fora.season.

The first-was—at-~Nueve-Chapelle, where in,three days’.fighting ¢om- bined losses numbered 30,000 or niere, with victory resting on the.British arms.Thessecond was southeast of Ypres,when the British captured Hill No.60.This involved the most furious kind of fighting and after tne hillwastakenabombardment|by.the Germans for several:days.Thenbringingupheavyreinforcementsthe Germans began an attack around Ypres,which is described as one ‘of the fiercest of the war,This move- ment was partly in the nature of a surprise and the allies’,lines were *sushed back for a.considerable dis- tance,estimated in some .quzrrers.asSeveralmiles.Some of this ground has been regained,and,according to Paris,the Germans not only have been checked,but Belgians,British and French,by determined ;counter- attacks,continue to foree—their-ad- versaries back.The Germans are reported still toheemployingbombs“containing ‘gas- forming chemicals,and!their uge isadmittedandjustifiedbytheBerlin ‘press.one Berlin newspaper”assert-ing that bombs of a similar naturehavebeenemployedbytheFrench‘and Britigh.gee eee| The German rushes in Flanders andtheWoevre,where they claim consid-erable ‘successes,are believed to be forerunners of another big ‘effort tobreakthroughthealliedlinesintheWrst.For many days Belgium has been sealed from the observation —of neutrals,while German reinforce-ments are being moved to the South to take part in the new.offensive, which they hope_is to_carry.-them-to Calais.‘The attack in Flanders,origi-nally levelled at the French,has been transferred to the British lines held by.the Canadians,on the immediate right of the French,and here for twodaysthemenfromtheDominionhavebeenengagedinadeadlycontestwiththeGermans.The Germans claim further progress.toward Ypres andthatBritishcounter-attacks have beenrepulsed.-The French,on the other tacks continue with success and thattheBritishholdalltheirpositions, ITEMS OF ALL SORTS. “The --Carter-Abernethy —legislativeinvestigatingcommitteemetinRal-eigh yesterday and began final con-sideration of the.ease. “Lossof life on account of floods in‘Texas last week is estimated at 21.

The country is becoming more thick- ly settled.The cost of a stream and a water shed now if a gravity line is found practicable,will be~much tess than it will.a few years hence.— The Landmark is printing Mr.Wag- ner’s suggéstion for consideration.

School BoardWWill Have to Bor- row $5,000,Says Mr.Lutz. To the Editor of The Landmark: In regard to the statement in your paper,that the school board would have to borrow $5,000 to complete the new graded school building,I wish to state that $5,000 was correct. The school board at its last meet- ing,was.asked by the building com- mittee to authorize them to.borrow$3,000,which would enable.them tofinish—thefirkt-floor and install-the heating and plumbing.This does not include -seating,either the —first.orsecondfloor.or-the finishing the roomsofthesecondfloor.The school boardthereuponauthorizedthecommittee to borrow for the present:$2,500,but no one thought that with this theycouldcompletethebuilding.This is the true state of things,and I write this to set the matter right before the public.W.A.LUTZ.

Bowles’bottom land,just below Guy’s mill,to the South Yadkin river,a dis- tance of between four and five miles. The width of the bottom land prob- ably averages 1,000 feet and it is es- timated that there are from 400 to 450 acres in the proposed district. ‘The soil*of the bottom land is com- posed of sandy and silty loams,which have been derived from.gradual ac- cumulation of materials.brought down from:the hill-side, rich in organic matter and is classed by the bureau of soils as “meadow.” Every rain of consequence.causes the creek to overflow,damaging the land and crops not only by excess of water but also in places depositing sand.The ravages of sand deposition are particularly noticeable.:The total drainage area of Snow creek as determined by the United States Geological Survey maps.is ap- proximately 32 square miles,or 20,480 acres.Its.greatest Yength in north miles and its greatest’width fourmiles.Numerous small tributaries enter the creek along its course.That portion of Snow creek in the proposeddrainagedistricthasfairly.uniform width:of between.35.and.40 feet,with, banks three and four feet deep.The bed.of the creck has been elevated by deposits of ‘sand and silt.until it ‘isverylittlelowerthanthebottomlang back-of_the creek and successful-farm. drainage is impossible.The minimumsizedcanalthat.can be excavated by the ordinary floating dipper dredge is one with a 14-foot bottom width.it has been found from experience inotherdistrictsinthePiedmontsectionthat’a deep ditch gives:more satis- factory results:than’a shallow.one,and hence a minimum depth of 9 feet is recommended:A Gitch having a bottom width of 14-feet,sides slopedoffone-half horizontal to one vertical.9 foot depth and a fall of.14 feet to the mile will carry 1,280 cubic feet per second.A channel with the above dimensions will therefore be of ample capacity to remove a l-inch run-offin.24 hours,the flow_line-being abouttwofeet.below.the surface.A smal-ler-sized.ditch.is not,recommended...A new channe]..will probably notfollow.the alignment of the present|channel,except,ina few places.Thecorrectlocationcanbestbedetermin-ed after a survey and the landownersshouldco-operate withthe engineer insecuringanefficientlocationratherthanonewhichthey.think will bemosteonvenienttotheirbottomlands.A)floating dipper,dredge should be|placed in Snow,creek just below Guy’s mill.and.work,down’stream to the actual excavation will be.9 feet andTea,|making no allowance for the old chan-nel,as.it will probably not.be follow- ed except at.a few,places,the cost of:the work,should.be approximately$11,286...Ona.basis of 450 acres ofbenefitedland,the average cost per acre will be about $25.No allow- ance is made for excavation in rock.With whatever improvements areundertakenitisurgentlyrecom-mended that the -numerous tiibuta-ries that bring silt and sand be given proper attention by the local land-owners.It is highly desirable thatthesiltandsandheld’in suspension by these swift-flowing streams be de-posited before entering the mainchannel.This may be done by con- structing low-dams across the mouthofthebranchstreaminordertocheckthevelocitysothatthesus- pended:material will be deposited.These dams..can be.increased inheightfromtimeto.time as theneedsrequire.After material "has been deposited on the ground to 4certaindepththelocationofthe sand deposited in other places.The district.should take easements upon the lands covered by those settling reservoirs for the time they are in use,After the water is diverted to other locations,the land.would reverttotheé6riginal.owner.By this meth- od a means of preventing the deposit of silt can be otbained quite cheaply.It is believed that if the channel isoncedeepenedthevelocitythatwillbeobtained.will be sufficient to keep thecanalscouredout,but continual care should be exercised to prevent the ac-cumulation of —obstruction and ©the’deposit of sand in the new channel.All the farmers on the water shed should take the proper precautions topreventhillsidewashbyterracing and proper methods of cultivationwhichcan:be done at a cost which any farmer can afford. It is recommended that a drainagedistrictforcarryingoutthisworkbe organized under State law.A period of 13 years is given for the owners to pay for the cost of the improve- ment.and therefore ‘no hardship would be imposed on anybody.A\meander of the portion of Snowcreek‘that is to be included in the proposed district should be made and leyels taken throughout,its,courseTheedjres’of the bottom lan¥shouldbemeanderedbystadiaandcompas:in order to.determine the amount.of\land.to be assessed.At many places [ane creek.meander and the edge of |the bottom lands can be obtained atthesametime.At other places,be- cause of the width of bhé bottom and ithe:undergrowth,separate lines willjhavetoberun.These.meander lines;Should be carried up the valleys of |the’several tributaries as far as the} Aalleya.ate affected bythe overfiow, ito the correct location of the newnentonhalfpayattheageof|\thannel,levels should be run acrossrsandretirementatanytimeMaid”Dismisegl fromrd,missal from |loeated on the ground.-Along the lo-could come only by a trial cated line stakes sh ein.fotim to the inilitary eourt-|and feels detail ila one |the valley.After the route of theditchhas-been decided on it should be Summary of the Report and] Recommendations of the En-| age district,has submitted a prelimi.|: The soit is)” west and southeast direction is ten]- South Yadkin.river,Assuming’the}: dams_can be changed and.-the silt_and- places where there is.question.as, 2 ar,the Home:of)Param“FRIDAY,APRIL 30TH,- _)_JESSE.L.LASKY PRESENTS THAT ABSOLUTELY °*'NIQUE PHOTO-DRAMATIC OFFERINGEDITHTALIAFERRO| Broadway’s Most Fascinating Girl Star in ws BY WILLIAM @.DEAILLE. mined.‘; Experiment—in Irish Potato.
