Raleigh, August, ?Conventions were the order for the State during the past week and these Tied with the Virginia Dare celebration in hold, lng Interest. For the fourth conse cutive week, the Capital City was quiet but titers is every indication the Governor will wake It up next week. He returned from his vacadon last night. Governor McLean returned last night from a four weeks trip into the woods of Wisconsin and he will And his hands full with official matters. First ol all the Executive will have to face the task of writing his ad dresses and recommendations to the General Assembly which will convene next January. The Governor will al so have to call together the Budget Commission and -the matter of going over the recommendations for the next fiscal period of two years will have to be considered. This will te his major business during the fall months and he has indicated whon the General Assembly meets, the mut ters in which he has a hand will be ready for its consideration so that there will be no time lost The re port of the special commission In vestigating the educational system of the State will be ready this week^or his attention and it 'is expected to contain considerable rf Interest af fecting the eight months school term and other educational matters. The report of Dr. W. S. Rankin on his in vestigation of feeble mindedness in the State also will be laid before the Executive. Superintendent of Public Instruction Allen will place before him the matter of text books charges in this State as compared with Ten nessee. Major Wade H. Phillips ex pects to consult with him with refer ence to the appointment of a new pub licity director for the Department of Conservation and Development. Ac tion from the Executive also is look ed for on the Wyatt pardon case which has been pending for several months. The Executive also has been invited by the State of Washington to join in a test case on whether the State has a right to levy a gasoline tax to aid in maintaining federal roads. The celebration of Cirglnla Dare day at Roanoke Island attracted the attention of thousands from this sec tion and the coastal section. Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassador deliver, ed the principal address on the oc casion which was marked by a not able gathering. The meeting of the Bi-State Boost er Association of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen held here during the week brought such personages as W. G. Lee, of Cleveland, one of the leading labor men of the country. Mr. Lee took an important part In the business meetings and also delivered an inspiring address. Mr. Lee spoke of the strides made in labor by its or ganization and urged the keeping of all pledges as the sure way to ad vance. Allen J. Maxwell made an ex cellent address as the Repersenta tive of Governor McLean. A new set of regulations have been lrsued by the State Board of Health governing the jails of the State with respect to sanitary conditions. The regulations set forth how the prison ers should be cared for in the way of clothes and baths and also goes into keeping the quarters in condition. Dr. J. Henry Hlghsmlth of the Depart ment of Public Instruction is against the teaching af Latin and geometry in the small high schools he declared in an address this week. He is not op posed to te teaching of the subjects as electlves in the higher classes, however. Miss Audrey Davis com mitted suicide lest week at the State Hospital tor the Insane here, this be ing the second suicide at the Institu tion In the pest few weeks. The Cot-, ton Cooperative Association has in- I augurated a practice of booking or ders from mills In advance of deliv eries of cotton. This will result in a great saving to the cotton growers as the cotton wi)l be sold at highest prices. Last year the association had to sell a lot of cotton on a falling market because orders had not been booked but a re-organlsation this year makes It possible to carry out the booking plan. The tobacco crops are looking line and the prices paid in the South Carolina |ielt encourage growers to think that they also will get good prices when the Eastern Car ellne belt opens on the sevnth of September and the Old Belt two weeks later. Ttie Department of Revenue has moved to Its new building, which will also house the license bureau for autos, the Department of Conserva tion and Development executive office and several State offices. The Ad jutant General and the State Board of Public Welfare will go Into the new building. The State's exhibit In the Philadel phia Centennial Exposition is almost completed. The battle of Moore's Creek Bridge was celebrated this week In Pender county with great zest. More than half the counties of the State report the prevalence of typhoid fever, the total number of cases so far reported to the bureau of vital statistics of the State Board of Health having reached around 200. Pitt coun ty leads the list with fifteen cases. Comparatively few fatalities have re sulted from this cause, but motor vehlcje accidents continue their dead ly work with more than a dozen lives sniffed out during the week. The Automobile License Bureau of the State Department of Revenue re ports the collection of (4,023.413.74 during the month of June, July and the flrst half of August, or $327,500 more than was collected for the same period last year. The number of 11. censes issued during this period last year was 26,569 less than for the same number of days this year. The Department also ^reports the handl ing of a million and a quarter items of correspondence since the 30th day of June. The License Bureau goes within a few days into the new build ing corner of Salisbury and Morgan streets, along with other branches of the Department of Revenue. Commissioner Stacey Wade, of the State Depejrtment of Insurance, Jour neyed fo "The Old Home Town," and delivered a fine address to the State Firemen meeting there during the week. While speaking mainly of fires and their prevention Comlssioner Wade took advantage of the oppor tunity to direct attention to the num erous attractions and advantages of Morehead City to which he extended the visitors a cordial welcome. The next important group of Tar Heels expected in Morehead is the North Carolina Forestry Association Sep tember 2nd and 3rd. Fire prevention and their prevention, Commissioner hold the center of the stage in this popular resort by the sea. Fresh from the scene of chaos in Mexica Charles M. Upham, former State Highway Engineer, voices the opinion of non-interference by the United States. Mr. Upham is consult ing highway engineer for the Mexi can Government and has had an op portunity to view the situation at close range. Mexico is speeding up in hirhwoy construction and interfer ence would result in a backset in that respect, besides having a bad ef fect on the road relations this coun. try has established with that govern men the past few years. Of course, "Uncle Sam" has no idea of meddling. in the Mexican muddle. The G. L. Miller Bond Company finds that building operations In North Carolina during July showed an in crease over that of the same month last year, the estimate of this July being $3,334,732, and for July last year $2,691,639, an Increase of more than one and one-baff million dol lars. The largest single permit Is sued In the State for July was an Item of $360,000 for rebuilding the wing of the main building of the State Hospital for the Insane, Ral eigh, which was destroyed by fire last spring. Smallpox Is on a rampage In the Bute, according to. the Bnrean of Epidemiology, of the State Board of Health, which reports 11$ cases dur ing the first two weeks of the pre sent mpnth, or ninety-seven cases more than for a similar period last summer. The Bureau reports the ex istence of 260 cases of whoopingcough and forty .six cases of measles. Pardon Commissioner Hoyle Sink has hit upon a new plan to induce work by prisoners who expect par dons or paroles. No work, no par. don Is the way he puts it up to them. Beetdee, he is going to waste no time wth applcatons from prisoners wholl ttons of any character. Mr. Sink has special reference to reported conduct of "time servers" in the Craggy camp near Ashevllle, but his "prescription'1 is Intended to apply In a general way Maybe he will succeed in Improving tne morale of prisoners and maybe h< wnnt I Democrats are visibly amused t< fled that Johnson J. Hayes, Republi can nominee tor United States Sena tor, has been campaigning the Btat< under the auspices of "The Patriots and Protective League," no mentloi being made of the Republican part] In the literature announcing his ap polntments. The old name seems t< havs been abandoned, whether for "i gray horse Of another color" no on beems to know. Hie purpose of thl high-sounding name may be reveals a little later on In the campaign. North Carolina Is Invited to Jolt the State of Washington In a salt t he brought before tfce, Supreme Coui of the United States next January t prevent the levy of gasoline tax fc road construction.
