OUB BALEIGH LETTER *
?
By M. L. Shipman
Raleigh, Aug. SI.?The return of
Governor McLean to the state on Sun
day, August 23 was followed Immedi
ately- by his plunge Into official busi
ness. The situation at Sanatorium,
the special term of court to try W B.
Cole, the Investigation of the Depart
ment of Labor and Printing, and the
Investigation of the Fisheries Products
Company were among the matters to
receive his early attention. Except
for brief items of interest there was
little news In the capital city during
the week. A number of state officials
arc on vacation and the summer per
iod is being passed wtth as little effort
ua possible.
The Governor Issued an .official
statement Sunday morning declaring
he had investigated conditions at State
Sanatorium for Tuberculars and found
conditions better than heretofore, no
reason-for alarm, and that the turning
out of patients was NOT a new policy.
He criticised the Associated Press for
sending out a story portraying condl
*
Hons at Sanatorium which focuased
public attention on the institution. He
backed up his statement with letters
from the officers of the institution re
gretting tUA. imnrestion which had
gotten out. It was stated that if an
emergency arose it would be cared for
at any and all state institutions. The
Associated Press replying to the Gov
ernor's criticism merely contented it
self with reciting that its story had
been issued with an official statement
from Sanatorium as its basis, that flf
teen days had elapsed and no denial
of the story had been made until the
Governor investigated the situation
and pointed out that the essential facts
that patients were to be turned out
was not denied nor was it denied that
shortage of room was the reason. The
press organization added its regret
that the story had been construed to
mean maintenance funds were low
and stated its basis for this was the
statement of the superintendent of
sanatorinm that no funds had been
provided to care for maintenance of
prisoners tor 1925-1927 while $37,500
a year had been provided during the
previous biennium for each year.
As the situation stands, it is appar
ent that patients will be required to
leave within elfhteen months after
they were taken into the institution or
as soon as possible thereafter. The
Governor's investigation has not chan
ged the status of this irrter of the
Board though it expiainea its reasons
for Issuing the order. The earlier
press reports on Sanatorium cited this
as its major fact, and it stands. Pa
tients will be turned out of Sanator
ium because of lack of room.
W. B. Cole, of Rockingham, who is
charged with killing W. W. Onnomj
will face trial at a special termxof
court on September 28. The Governor
called this term at request of the So
licitor. Cole, who is a wealthy manu
facturer, shot down Ormond on the
street of Rockingham after some dis
agreement because of the young man's
suit for the hand of Cole's daughter.
Governor McLean ordered a chem
ist's investigation into the death of J.
B. Solomon of Richmond county, who
is believed to have died of poison. The
effort will be to find out if the man
was poisoned or died from food pois
oning. His widow married two weeks
after his death after aiding the man
she married to escape trouble with the
insurance money of her first husband.
King's Business College, will reopen
its new term this week with 200 to
250 expected. It will be the largest
enrollment.
The new braille books for the school
for the blind will cost $3,000. The
equipment will be standard.
The state now has 22 law suits in
court totalling $200,000, the attorney
general announced; Meredith College
will open on September 11 but will
not occupy its new million dollar
plant until after Christmas; five addi
tional rural school supervisors have
been named by L. C. Brogden, state
sspervisoor of rural schools. They
will work in Carteret, Polk, Jackson,
Currituck and Rockingham counties.
Meredith College announces the
opening of the fall term, which hap
pens to be the 27th session, on Sep
tember 3th and 10th, class work be
ginning on the 11th at the old site cor
ner of Blount and Edenton streets

In my back and aides I could

weak to stand up or do any

Cardul la certainly a great

Thousands of weak, suf
fering women have taken
Cardul, knowing that It had
helped their mothers or their
friends, and soon gained
strength and got rid of their
pains.
Cardul should do you a lot
of good.
An Druggists'
ot campaigning for Manning while oe
tensibly out on a tour inspecting
mines. Ralph Steele, a well known
Legionaire, has taken up the cudgel
for Williams whom he says is in the
fight to the finish.
The part taken by the Legion in the
political campaign last year was dis
pleasing to many of the members who
new feel that a repetition of the tac
tics then employed should be sat upon
good and strong. Mr. Steele puts
Captain Williams above petty politics
and thinks he would be the right man
in the right place. In a recent state
ment, he had this to say:
"Reports being circulated to the ef
fect that Capt. I. R. Williams of Dunn
is not a candidate for Department
Commander of the American Legion
p.re false. At a meeting held in Dunn
this week of representatives from the
Legion posts in Harnett County plans
were laid for bringing Williams name
before the posts of the state and be
fore the delegates at the Fayetteville
convention. Since his candidacy was
made public a tew days ago numerous
letters and telegrams pledging sup
port have,been received by his friends,
and it appears that when the dele
gates arrived for the convention at
least thirty or forty votes will be pled
ged to Williams, which will constitute
a balance of power and the nucleus for
a majority on a later ballot. Two hun
dred to two hundred and fifty votes
are expected to be cast.
In putting forth Williams his back
ers believe that he is the man who
can restore peace and harmony within
the Legion, and that is the sole reason
for his candidacy. For the past two
or three years bitter factional fights
Lave developed at State, conventions
and their effect has been detrimental
through the year. Already serious
disruptions are reported in posts at
Raleigh and Washington. Williams
has never taken part in' these scraps
but has worked quietly and efficiently
in the interest of the Legion and the
ex-service man, to the exclusion of
things political."
PROFIT 15 POl'LTRT.
? Raleigh, August 31.?"While some
folks may think that the hen Is a use
leas pest about the place and consumed
more than she produces tEe ex
perlence of Mr. Amos Templeton, of
Iredell County has shown that, when
properly fed and cared for, the hen
reurns a good profit on the Invest
ment." says R. W. Graeber, farm agent
for the State College extension divi
sion.
In order to see whether the hen
was profitable or not, Mr. Templeton
started the first of last January to
keep yecords on a flock of 80 White
Lehom hens. These records were
kept until June 30, with the following
results.
The flock was estimated to be
worth 380.00 and the expenses during
the six-month period amounted to
$166.66, including cost of feed, oil for
the incubators and biktoders, and other
Incidental expenses. Including the
original-value of the flock, the total
expense until June 10 was $236.66.
During the same period, Mr. Tem
pleton culled the cockerels and non
producing hens from the flock an'd
sold them for $37.00. He had also sold
and used at home, eggs to the value
of $236.86. On June 30, the flock had
Increased to 281 hens and pullets,
which at an estimated value of one
dollar each were worth $281.00 Add
ing this to the valne of the eggs sold
or consumed makes a total of $664.86
from which Is deducted the orlgnal
cost of the flock and the expenses for
the first six months, leaving a net
profit of $318.70 for the six-month
period. According to Mr. Graeber,
this experience can be duplicated by
many North Carolina farmers If they
will go to the trouble of properly
feeding and caring for their birds..
