If the reports are true that the: County Commissioners will buy a1 tract of land known as the Henry1 Kearney brick yard place between the' tail road and the Green Hill place anu| erect a modern county home, we be lieve they will agree, after better con sideration that the people of the coun ty would prefer their building a '.nod em county home on a public highway where it can be seen to advantage. The only way that the location referr ed to could be made at all attractive would be by building another bridge across Tar river near the jail and running a good street on the South east side of the railroad and butt in to the cross road that connects the Raleigh and Bunn roads. 1 his would give a good road or street right by the ' location and provide a drive that i would be much used. Without this extra road we believe the Commis sioners would act wisely to secure a location on a public highway where the improvements can be shown tf advantage. armistice i.ay What could be more fitting than that the ultimatum, delivered by the Coun cil ot The League of Nations, ^mman ding Bulgaria and Greece to withdraw their troops behind their national borders, and to cease hostilitics forth with, should have been formulated and delivered practically on the eve of Armistice Iter?

Usually the fall months llnd buaiues of all kinds pioking up and the government business P'^s up^n corresponding degree. Speculation continued rife over the report; of the Salary and Wage Commission. The report is in but the employes are wondering If the commis.tm. is goinK to cut the annual vacation from two weeks to one week. The Commission l.as Indicated that it will do this un iess the number of legalholidaysob^ served is cut to six. The attorney C.eneral has ruled that the Commls sion has no right to eliminate any of the 12 days set aside by the General Assembly as legal holidays. The death of Mrs. Martha Jenkins at the Methodist Orphanage where ?cr U years she was matron caused a wave of sorrow to sweep over the city in the last days of the weex. Mrs Jenkins was called Mother bv hundreds of those who passed through the Orphanage In the P?t ? years and was beloved by many. She died after ten days Illness with pneu 1 Tim State taxes, exclusive of the auto licenses taxes*have passed the million dollar mark for any othep month. This record was set up by th,. October taxes stated Commissioner. Doughton and was the first time the State has ever collected such an amount In one month. The fight is on for what the uex Legislature wlU consider. Speaker l harr of. the house has come out in opposition to an eigth months term so long as the present schoo equali zation fund law is in operation He believes it unfair to a number of the counUee and says It imposes an unjust tax burden on some. On the ot,|?r hand Superintendent of Public In struction Allen while admitting the defects of the equalization law says that the eight months school term should be approved by the legisla ture and an amendment to the con stitution submitted to the people. The matter is destined to come up be.ore the 1927 general assembly. Considerable Interest is displayed locally .in the forthcoming trial ol two negroes at Asheville charged with attacks on white women. At the same time 44 members of a mob which stormed the Buncombe County jail also will go on trial for this offense. They were after one of the negroes. Governor McLean has ordered troops to be ready at Asheville at the trial In case anything takes place. Feel ing in Asheville. where there have Ucfen Jour attacks on white .women uv negroes in recent weekAis- re ported at high tension and Mr. "McLean does net want to have any mob violence. He believes the presence of troops will prevent any. Governor McLean spoke at Durham last week before the' State l ederaiion of Womens Clubs Council a ad lauded the part of women in public life.. He also reviewed for the women the things v.hich he has accomplished, or set out to accomplish, in his administra tion. He was favorably received by the ladies and made an excellent im priession. He also addressee the Dur ham Kiwanians and lauded James b. Duke and the great opportunity he tad given Durham by establishing l be Duke Foundation and giving so mr.ch money for Duke University and hr" a modern hospital anu medical s hool. He predicted a great service to the State because of Duke's bene factions. Farmers are advised by Commis sioner of Agriculture Graham to borrow from the Federal Reserve bank through the savings and loan associations organized under the slate law. Mr. Graham fears that many farmers will be unable to get through the winter because cf drought losses and makes this suggestion v.hereby groups of farmers may c I tain co-operative credit by organiz ing together for the common good. The year 1425 is a bad one for North Carolina business, there have been 139 bankruptcies up to October which is 23 more than in the entire year 1924.

The Corporation Commission has been requested to nl' the Western Union Jeh graph Company to revise Its rates la North Carolina so as to make them conform with rates In the jther states served by that corpora Lion.

State Director, figures that tl)9 trip would require about twenty five hours actual traveling ar.d tivj changes, viz: Quldsboro, Raleigh. Charlotte. Ashevilie and Wayneaville. Rhe distance is a little more than 600 miles. The Division of Markets, State De partment of Agriculture, calls atten tion to the demand for cucumbers, cabbages, tomatoes and other vege tables for pickling purposes. The pickle industry has become quite im portant in the western section of the State and outside capital is being attracted there as well as to the counties of Wayne. Pender, New Hanover, Duplin and Sampson in the East. Speaker Pharr, of Mecklenburg, here a few days ago ventured the (pinion that the time is not ripe for a constitutional eight months school and suggested that the cause be al lowed to wait until the equalizing fund is so arranged as to "sure enough equalize the county burden for school purposes. State Superintendent Allen is in harmony with the views of the speaker touching the equalization fund, but sees no reason for postpon ing the longer school term. He favors submitting the eight months school to the voters of the State by the General Assembly of 1926 and "that's that." < Henderson and McDowell counties are each to have a two- weeks special term of criminal court beginning November 16 by order of Governor McLean. Judge W. P. Harding will preside over the Henderson county court, while one of uifp emergency judges is expected to preside over the term in McDowell. Finding that rates on canned goods from Wilmingt >n to points within the State higher than Virginia points the State Corporation Commission lias ordered freight carriers to revise their schedules so that the same will be on a parity with rates whih have been in effect for more than two years fiom points in Virginia to points In North Carolina. The scale ordered by the Commission Is to become effective at once. It is announced that the appeal of W. B. Cooper, former Lieutenant Governor of North Caroline, will be beard by the United State Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond on November 9th. Mr. Cooper was sen tenced to serve eighteen months in the Federal prison at Atlanta following his conviction of violating the nation al bank laws while an officer of the defunct Commerical National Bank oi Wilmington two or three vears ago. Northern interests are''Said to be negotiating options on the principal bus lines operating in thia State and we may soon be in the clntches of a combination instead of being served hv private lines.
