Raleigh, May 10.— Announce ment by General Julian S. Carr that he intends to become a can didate for the Democratic nomi nation for congressman at-large next year, when an additional congressman for North Carolina is to be chosen, is arousing much in terest among the people, whether active politicians or not. While it was not known that General Carr aspired to a seat in Congress and the politicians prob ably had not counted on this de velopment, most people are famil iar with the failure of the party to honor this splendid gentleman, patriotic North Carolinian and staunch Democrat up to this time. True he has not been even a re ceptive candidate for any office for twenty years. Bnt many re member when he was before the State convention in 1892 for the gubernatorial nomination and was defeated by the populistic ele ment of the party. They believe General Carr should have been nominated and elected that year, and they are largely disposed to warm up to him if he actually enters the lists in the State pri mary next year for congressman at-large. Other estimable'and influential Democrats have been mentioned in this connection, especially dur ing the recent session of the Gen eral Assembly, former Speaker of the House Walter Murphey, the present Representative from Rowan, being among the number. But the plunge into the congres sional waters has been delayed until Congress acts finally on the new congressional apportionment. It has been mooted that Hon. Sam L. Rogers, late Director of the Census, whose home is in Macon connty, would aspire to Congress and might enter the race for con gressman-at-large. But there has been no. definite or formal an nouncement to that effect as yet. Whether the east will agree on and present a candidate remains to be seen. ■(•■orlal Day Observance. , Confederate Memorial Day was observed here today more exten sively than in several years. One reason for the large turn-out at Confederate Cemetery was the presence of Governor Morrison who delivered the annual me morial address. The Adjutant General acted as master of cere monies and a battalion of troops, composed of students at the State A. and E. College here partici pated in the parade to the ceme tery. As usual there was a good dinner and entertainment at the Old Soldiers Home under the direction of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The local chapter of the Children of the THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. Confederacy placed wreaths of flowers von the big Confederate monument in Capitol Square and the statue of Wyatt, first Con federate soldier to lose his life in battle. . New State Building. North Carolina is going tp build a handsome home for the agricul tural department on the Bite now occupied by the commissioner and his staff. The board of agricul ture inspected the blind school property at the request of Gover nor Morrison, and a committee reported to his excellency that this property is not suitable for the department building. Three hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars is available for immediate building, if the treasurer can float State bonds, and if more is need ed the department contemplates relief from the regular session in 1923. Under the law authorizing the building twenty committee rooms for the General Assembly are to be provided, together with suffi cient office space for other State departments now quartered in other than State buildings. This will supply a "long-felt need," and legislators as well as some of the departments now crowded into cramped quarters will be duly grateful. At the same time Major Graham will get what he has bsen fighting for several years. No Appeal From Tax Ruling*. V According to an opinion just filed by Attorney General Man ning there can be no appeal from the rnlings of the State Tax Com mission and its successor in au tuority, the State Revenue Com mission, which are final and can not be reviewed or upset by the ordinary conrts of the State* de clares a demurrer prepared by Attorney General James S Man ning to be filed in mandamus pro ceedings instituted the Tax Commission a week ago seek ing a reversal of the Commis sion's ruling in the matter of valu ations on the property of the Can non Mills in Cabarrus county. Action instituted in Wake coun ty Superior Court by the commis sioners of Cabarrus county sought to compel the Tax Commission to bring its records in the Cannon Mill property valuation into court, and upon the records asked the court to reverse the oraer of the commission in reducing the cot ton mill's assessment approxi mately three million dollars. Sam mons was served on the commis sion a week ago, and made return able before Judge George W. Connor Tuesday. No cause of action has been established by the plaintiffs iu the case, declares the demurrer to be presented on behalf of Tax Commission, because of the fact that the General Assembly ex pressly provided that the fludings of the commission should bo final, and because no fundamental and constitutional right of any citizen has been violated in the adminis tration of the tax laws by the commission. It is further set forth that since suit ww started, GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. MAY 12. 1921 the Tax Commission has been superseded by the Revenue Com mission. Appeals from the county local boards to tfcie State body nan be taken, of course. New Marriage Law Evaded. The act passed at the last ses sion of the Legislature is not functioning very well, it seems, a largo percentage of the men who intend marrying going out of the State for the performance of the wedding ceremony rather than comply with the law requiring physical examinations by doc tors. A prominent physician says this Is especially true in the counties bordering on or near the South Carolina (where no license is neces sary and no divorce possible) and Virginia lines. He states reasons as follows: "First, there is the question of a few men who hesitate at paying the physical examination fees for their examinations in tlje city. Perhaps many do not realize that tbertßjqt of a trip to York county for WoV>r half a dozen people will cost inudh more than the license will co&t. "Second, the candidates for] marriage, like BO many other peo ple of the world, don't like to have j to do a thing they feel they must: do because of legal compulsion Many a man refus&i to be mar- 1 ried here in Mecklenburg and at! home because a law has been j passed to make him undergo an examination if he is married at home, so he makes the trip to the! South Carolina towns just over! the way. "Third, there is that class of { men who fear to undergo the ex- "NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH" By James Montgomery An Irresistibly Funny.

C., May 10.— , Mathematical students at the Uni versity of North Carolina have itaken'a lot *6f interest in two [problems in mathematics recently submitted to Dr./ Archibald Hen derson, head of the of Mathematics, by the Southern Engineering Corporation of Char lotte. This corpoiation offered j two prizes to the. students whoj first solved the problems. The first problem WHS called j "The Farmer's Problem." It reads ; as follows: "A village 'B' fa two miles from a village 'A' and three mi'es from a village 'C. A farnwr ' living at 'F' one mile froyi 'B' finds that he is the Rime distance Idue south frou 'A that he is due west of 'C. What is- the distance 'PA'?" , . Accompanying this problem the enxioeering corporation sent a drawing shoeing the situation of i the villages. Dr. Henderson says, J however, that according to the | terms of the problem a different | dra.wing could be made that would | tit the conditions ju*t as well. |W. V. Parker of Monroe, who | worked the problem, submitted j two answers to fit the different j si tuations, one answer bei ug 29.83; j and the other being 2 025. The second problem, known as "The Ladders," read as follows: "Firemen lean a 40 foot ladder j and a fiO foot laddef across a street to buildings on opposite sides so I that the ladders intersect 15 feet from the ground. How wide is | the street ?" I. J. Stephenson of Angier was | the first student to work this prob- I lem, his answer being 32 To. Doth geometry and algebra were | used in solving the problems and j Dr. Henderson says that clean, j (straight mathematics was employ-j ed in the solutiou. No shortcut or trial-and-error system was used j in either. A number of other stu-i dents submitted solutions and the i quality of the work in all the ef-1 forts, Dr. Henderson says, was I unusually high. Announcement has been made | by President 11. W. Chase that | the Rev. Charles E. Maddry, cor responding secretary of the Bap- j tist Convention, will deliver the! baccalaurate sermon before mem - j hers of the graduating class Sun-' day morning, Juno 12. No au-j nouncement has been made as to' 1 tbe chief speaker on commence- j raent p»y proper, June 15. Uuusual interest lias been dis played in Chapel Hill at the ac ceptnnce of the Rev. Mr Maddry. Boru and raised in Orange county near Chapel Hill, Charles E. Mad dry id well known to inany in aud around the university. He was a student here four years, working I his way through the university jby doing almost every kind of !work, including the washing of 'dishes in dining hall. He be came one of the l»est known stu ' dent speakers of his day and when he graduated j n ]903 was award ed the coveted \Villie P.
