OUR BilEiai LETTER
By M. L. Sklpiun
Raleigh, August 1?.?The applica
tion for an Increase la rates amount-!
Ing to approximately 10 percent by the
Western Union and Postal was the j
>nly outstanding event of the past
week in Raleigh. The week was quiet'
In administration circles and the wea.1
ther continued unusually warm. Word'
trom Wisconsin was to the effect that
Governor McLean lg enjoying to thej
utmost his three weeks vacaltlon in
the camps of that state aud will be In
good shape when he returns. The Ex
ecutive is expected to be back at bis
desk about the 23rd of the month.
The Corporation Commission heard
the aplicatlon of the two telegraph
companies during a two day hearing
and then postponed decision on the
matter for several days. The Postal
reported that it was experiencing a
loss In North Carolina, based on last
rear, of $9,000 annually. The Western
Union reported an annual loss of $75,
D00 but It was brought out that last
rear that concern in the entire coun
try had its greatest year and declar
ed. large dividends. The contention Is
that the other states are .carrying
North Carolina's load. It was frankly
admitted that the application in
crease is a protest against the state
tax on every mile of wire operated by
the companies and would not be
brought if there .were no such tax.
The Eastern Cai$>lina Chamber of
Commerce and a number of other com
mercial bodies are opposing the in
crease.
Dr. R. H. Lewis, noted physician
who died here last week left an es
tate of $250,000. He had been crippled
for the last years of his life and he
left a bequest for the entertainment
of bedridden crippled children. He
also left a bequest toward the estab
lishment of an orthopedic department
at the University of North Carolina.
The remainder of the estate was left
to his four children.
The State Bar Association and the
County Commissioners Association
joined hands during the week to draw
up legislation to present to the Gen
eral Assembly looking to reforms in
county government. At the county
commissioners convention during the
week at Morehead City, the report of
the committee investigating the sub
ject recommended fiscal and other re
forms in county government With
this exhaustive report as the basis,
committees from the two organlza
tlons will draw up suitable legisla
tion to be presented to the General
Assembly.
The controversy between the depart
znent of public instruction and cer.
tain school book companies over the
selling of bookf at a lower rate to
Tennessee than tt> North Carolina is
still going on. During the week a hear
ing took place and the school book
people stated they charged slightly
more In North Carolina but tbey had
to bear transportation charges. It is
probable the matter will be given fur.
ther consideration this coming week.
R. L. Gay has resigned as director
of publicity for the Department of
conservation and Development. His
last work before he left to enter
journalistic work was a booklet treat
ing of North Carolina's resources. It
is done in masterly style. Mr. Gray
portrays vividly North Carolina's ad
vantages in many ways. The booklet
is being distributed by the Department
of Conservation and Development and
only a limited supply is on hand.
Great interest was taken here in
the stand taken by the North Caro
lina Federation of Labor on improve
ments in the election systems and
against evolutionary teachings. The
reform election machinsr !? Mid'1
to be needed. The stand an ab
lution, while It la a subject of lntet
Mt In the State, Is regretted by many
as it brings the Labor Federation In
to a spehre which hitherto has kept
out of and one which is full of con
troversy. The attack ou Governor
McLean aa unfriendly to labor was
somewhat a surprise.
The.jjlump of more than eight mil-,
lions In the resources of the bankB
of the State during the past two or
three months is not regarded with
alarm in official circles. It Is consider
ed a seasonable drop and when the
crops are in and .business conditions
experience the fall Increase the de* j
crease probably will be wiped out, it
Is said.
The State Is saving (150,000 by mhk
Ing its own highway markers.
5,516 people who died during the
year 1924 were unattended by a phy
sician, according to information col
lected by Dr. M. L. Townsend, direc
tor of the division of education of
the State Board of Health, or 15.5
percent of the 33,234 deaths occuring
within the twelve month period. Ap.
proxlmatey 20,000 whites, 13,000 ne
groes and 3,000 Indians are lnculd
ed in the estimate, which is consid
ered fairly accurate.
Dr. J. M. Parrot, surgeon, Kinstonr
Dr. John B. Wright, eye and ear spe
cialist, Raleigh; and Dr. William
DeB. McNalr, of the Medical School
of the University of North Carolina,
arc mentioned as probable successors^
to the vaearcy on the State Board oft
Health created by the death of Dr.
Richard H. Lewis. The appointment
will be made by Governor McLean on
his return from the "Land O Lakes."
The Transportation Advisory Com
mission, created by the General As
sembly of 1925, to make a study of
transportation problems, is composed
of ten members appointed by Govern
or McLean. They are: J. Allen Tap
er, Wilmington; E. K. Bishop, New
Berne; James. A. Gray, Winston-Sal
em; John W. House, Wilson; George
Marsh, Raleigh; T. J. Purdie, Fay
etteville; M. O. Blount, Bethel; D. M.
Ausley, Statesville; Fred Kent, Ashe
ville; J. Leake Spencer, Charlotte,
and Austin Finch, Thomasville. Gov
ernor McLean expects to call the
Commission together for Its first
meeting early in September. Farmers
merchants and manufacturers make
uy the membership.
What the* State Board of Examin
ers in Optometry considers "false ad
vertisements regarding the treatment
of the eye" are to be suppressed, ac
cording to Dr. W. W. Parker, Lum
berton, secretary of the board. The
optometry Board disapproves the
practice o# the indiscriminate sale
of glasses and strongly advises
againat the purchase of so-called
cheap glasses from unscrupulous deal
ers. Better to be safe than to be sor
ry is the wholesome advice promul
gated by Doctor Parker.
In a ringing address to the State
Association of County Commissioners
meeting at Morehead City during the
week. State Auditor Baxter Durham
urged a modern system of auditing
county records, suggesting that an up
,to date method of reaching totals
would go far towards protecting the
credit of the local governments, be
sides resulting In a saving to tax
payers and adding to county re
sources.
8peaking to the Raleigh Lion's*
Club on Wednesday Joslah William
Bailey,, former candidate for the de
mocratic nomination for Governor,
paid his respects to North Carolina
election methods in rather uncompli
mentary terms. The speaker did not
mince words, but made plain his opin
ion that our primary elections are
Just as rotten as those of Pennsylva
nia, although less expensive. Mr. Bail
ey wants the Australian Ballot and
voting machines to insure the count
ing of ballots as they were cast, in.
stead of 'allowing self-constituted
bosses announce results to their own
liking. A man who fails to put up
the cash has little show in a North
Carolina primary, according to Mr.
Bailey.
Superintendent A. V, Allen, ot the
State Department of Education, ad
mits that the school system in North
Carolina is not perfect and last week
took the State Convention ot County
Commissioners, In annual session, in
to his confidence. The State official
pointing ont that educational ma
chinery functions only in spots and
directing attention to the difference
In length of terms for city and rural
schools. the former average being
177.6 days; the latter only 137.6 Mr.
Allen argued for an eight month's
school term which he believes will
greatly modify the total school situ
ation. The Superintendent hopes
that the eight month term proposi
tion will receive the approval of the
Educational Commission seUcted by
the Governor last March.
The State's fire loss for the first
six months of 1926 shpws an increase
of $737,364; It is now thought that
the peach crop this year will exceed
that of last, previous estimates to the
contrary notwithstanding, the num
