Br M. U Sblpman ?
Raleigh, July 12.?The annual meet
ing of the State Board of Agriculture,
the aelectlon of a successor to Judge
Bryaon In the Twentieth Judicial dis
trict, the final rush for automobile
license Rlatea, commutation of the
death sentence of Alvln Mansel, col
ored. charged with an attack on a
white girl in Buncombe county, se
lection of officers for the Nortn Caro
lina Railroad Company and minor
movements of Governor McLean weTe
among the items of interest In Ral
eigh during a week of sultry weather
augmented by the ever presence of a
burning summer sun.
The State Board of Agriculture
held its annual meeting in the office
of Commissioner Graham, heard a
helpful address from Governor Mc
Lean, listened to a highly construct
ive report presented by the Commis
sioner and transacted the business
brought to its attention. In his ad
dress Governor McLean stressed the
Importance of dairying and poultry
raising, pointing out that too much
attention- had hitherto been given to
cotton upon which the farmers had
been relying to the neglect of other
necessities.
Commissioner Graham stated in his
report that the State Department of
Agriculture is supported by Its own
receipts on the pay-as-you-go plan
and now has a nice little surplus to
its credit. Receipts from July, 1925,
to June 30, 1920, amounting to $436,
138.38 exceeded the expenditures $4,
995.56. Balance. on hand, according
to the Commissioner, on July 1, 1925,
was $90,274.57, and on July 1, 1926,
$95,787.69. Income for the depart
ment comes from the sale of ferti
lizer tags cotton seed meal tags, feed
tags, and receipts from test farms,
the latter alone yielding the sum of
$45,854.55, while from the sale of se
rum there had been collected $15,328.
10. Fertilizer tonnage on which tax
was paid during the year totalled $1.
213.178. Commissioner Graham re
commended the establishment of two
test farm3, one near the Albemarle
Sound for experimental work on soy
beans and potatoes and another In
the sand hills on which experiments
in fruit could be made.
On receiving the news ot the nomi
ne ti on of Walter E. Moore, of Sylva,
to succeed Judge Bryson in the
Twentieth District, Governor McLean
immediately tendered appointment to
the vacancy as of July 1st to Mr
Moore, who declined for business rea
sons. The honor finally fell upon
John H. Harwood, of Bryson City,
who, since adjournment ot the Gen%
eral Assembly, has been one ot the as
8istants attorney general stationed in
the Department of Revenue. O. H.
Allen Raleigh attorney and son of
the late Supreme Court Justice W R.
Allen, Succeeds Mr. Harwood here.
There was a steady flow of coin
into the coffers of the License Bureau
the last three or four days of the
week, the scene around the central
office here taking on the appearance
of bread lines during the late war.
Hundreds stood for hours each day
waiting their opportunity to procure
the coveted block of tin which would
enable them to scale the highways
at moderate speed unmolested.
After becoming fully convinced that
a reasonable doubt existed in the case
of Alvin Mansel, a negro youth sen
tenced to die for attack on a white
girl in Buncombe county, Governor
McLean commuted the sentence to life
imprisonment. The case was thorough
ly Investigated and the action of the
Governor is generally approved.
Stockholders of the North Carolina
Railroad Company meeting in annual
session at Greensboro during the
week re-elected all old officers, heard
the report of the secretary-treasurer,
Wiley G. Barnes and attended to the
usual routine. The officers are:
President, Ward H. Wood, Charlotte;
vice-presidents, Alexander Webb, Ral
eigh, J. Bayard Clark, FayetterilTe;
secretary .treasurer, Wiley G. Barnes,
Raleigh; expert, Chas. F. Dalton,
Charlotte. -
Governor McLean, Adjutant Gener
al Metts joined a number of National
Guard officials on a visit to Camp
Glenn on Friday where His Excellent
cy did the reviewing stunt and had
a fine time; the Gpvernor attended a
meeting ot the board of trustees ot
the North Carolina College tor Ne
groes in Durham during the week and
put his "O. K." on the management;
at a meeting of Interested officials in
the Governors office early in the week
an agreement to dispose of the Ex
periment Station poultry farm was
reached without difficulty.
The State Department of Public In
struction gave oat figures recently
showing that In 1*18-19 $6*4,337.31
were expended on the public school
system of the State, while during a
similar period, 1924-36, the sum of
$12,470,089.28 was "Invested" In like
manner. According to the Department
the year 1919-20 marked the real be
ginning of the "school building era"
In this State, apparently, state de
velopment of this character baa bare
ly started. The State Is talking mil
lions Instead of thousands and hun
dreds of thousands.
1926 license plates are now obsolete
and the maximum fine for using one
is $80. Last Saturday was the last
day on which they could be legally
used. Motorists have had fair warn.

I Andrew Joyner, statistician of the
Stat* Insurance Department, tells the
world that North Carolina celebrated
the Fourth of July this year without
a casualty, which could be directly
traceable to the celebration. Fire
works were "taboo" and automobiles
"held high carnival." Mr. Joyner likes
the change and has plenty of com
pany.
| "The North Carolina Chess Society"
was formed here during the week
with Dr. Evan Battle, Rocky Mount,
president; Dr. A. B. McCreary, Rock
ingham, vice-president; W. A. Rad
spinger, Raleigh secretary-treasurer.
The meeting was held at he Sir Wal
ter Hotel, with around fifty enthusi
astic performers present and partici
pating, both In the organisation and
lu the tournament which followed,
with Mr. Radsplnner the victor.
State officialdom was favored dur
ing the week by a visit from Gutzom
Borgluni, noted sculptor who stopped
over on his way north from San An.
tonio, Texas. During his brief sojourn
in Raleigh Mr. Borglum talked to the
Governor and State Treasure! about
a re-arrangement of the Ay cock and
Mclver monuments on Capitol Square.
Touching the George Washington sta
tue the sculptor stated that tew monu
ments in America are so well ar
ranged. He had little to say of Stone
Mountain, Georgia.
The Division of Markets, State De
partment of Agriculture finds that
North Carolina produces sixteen mil
lion pounds of butter less than it
consumes and twenty seven million
gallons of milk less than It drinks
The per captia consumption of milk
per year is 43 gallons; butter seven
teen pounds each; ice cream, 4 1-4
quarts each, which indicates that a lot
of folks do not even get a taste of
frozen cream, except in the winter
time. The State produces 26,000,000
pounds of country butter and two
million pounds of creamery butter. It
needs 16,000,000 pounds more to meet
the demands of local customers. The
Department is endeavoring to assist
thq farmers in an increased produc
tion of milk, butter and sweet cream
and thus enable them to keep theii
money at home.
By train, bus and automobile young
men and young women by the hun
dred arrived at State College early in
the week to attend the Short Course
in home economics and farm demon
stration work. As fine a company
of youngsters as ever got together
anywhere and they were not idle a
moment of the time. They knew
what they had been doing at home
and were not ashamed to tell about
it here. They had an enjoyable time
of it, but never at any time appeared
to lose sight of the fact that they
came to Raleigh for business as well
as pleasure.
I QyOtera of Dodge cars are protest
ing the raise In license tags from
112.59 to $20.00 because the .03 horse
power above 24 Is such a trifling mat
ter. Officials of the Carolina Motor
Club have been taking a hand in the
discussion and the State Highway
Commission has had to decline a re.
commendation requested by those in
terested. The Department of Reve
nue will be guided in its decision by
the Attorney General. The North
Carolina Automotive Association con
tends that it is going too far to ask
extra payment of $7.50 for the extra
fraction of horse.power.
iVelve hundred North Carolina
concerns were granted charters last
year by the Secretary of State; the
Osteopathic State Board of Examin
ers were in session from Thursday
until Saturday examining applicants
for license to practice; peach ship
ments to date are 250 cars lees than
1925.
