Clegg. proprietor of the Hotel Clogg, i Greensboro, some years ago started the Kuropean plan of conducting a hotel. He was the first , in the state to adopt it. Mr. Clegg has abolished the tipping of waiters in his ' hotel. He considers tipping as an ex-( tra expense and has posted in his din- ; ing room, office and throughout the ho- . tel "Positively No Tipping Allowed." j Prohibition nrevails in West Virgin-, ia and the Stale'.: annua! io.-s is $00U,-j , tr.i- ' OUU. ine saloon peopie are iiuunsm, big advertisements in the dailies in, the big cities of North Carolina say- j ing that this deficit in the State treas- ury was causing a crisis, ar.d ti-a' State is not honoring its drafts.

As long as we can remember our father and grand fathers wont to the Grassy Iik.nds or t!;-3 Pee Dr river to get shad and other lish in the siring of each year. Many went to the N;u-rov. s on the adki:i, foi' : tfci river is called the Yadkiu above where the L'.vharne uows into it at Lowder's Ferry, some live miles be- low the Uwharrie. Caruther's in his hictcry t?ll us of the stoi7 of David Fanning and An- Arvr Hnntor. in w-hi.-h ho states that - - Hunter and a neighbor named Latham had started to the Poe Dee for a sup ply of fish. It has been many years since our people went to the river for fish. The supply of shad and other mi , gratory f ih for the towns in Pied mont and most western North Caro- Una east of -.he Rlue Rii'.gc v -re ob- tained from the fisheries at the Nar- rows and I'alls ot the ladkin ana tne Pee Dee down below the Grassy I laads. The Charlotte Observer recently obtained an editorial commending the wisdom of thc recent fisheries law en acted at the recent session of the general assembly. Attention is called to the impor tance of the new law and Governor Craig is qaoicd as regarding the act a one of the most important pieces f legislation of the entire assembly. The Wilmington Star is quoted as authority for the statement that the up-country will get a chance at the shad and other migratory fish, for the present methods used on most of the sounds at the mouths of the rivers will no longer be permitted under the new law. The Observer says that the shad industry of the Pee Dee and Yadkin which has been destroyed will be re- Btoretj ' This statement is correct hen ap- .. , . z., n waters of the Cape" Fear, the Neuse, tha P9nP"! n,le rat!i,r e C5PtIon the Roanoke and the Tar Rivers, for,owinS to the bctter results stained. tiieir outlet to the sea is within the borders of this State, but how can a North Carolina law control the fisher- 1 ies in the Pee Dee in South Carolina. It may be there is a Federal statute preventing those great seinc3 across the Pee Dee in South Carolina, which were put ia a dozen and more years ago, and destroyed the fisheries in North Carolina. We hope the Observer is correct in its forecasts of the restoration of the ficWies nn tVio Yndkin iind Pce T)pa. , . . , ,, j. . 1 me n'Jtoa ,.a ioui., to Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, who has ... , ...x ,, . . , labored so faithfully for the enact- ing of vholi'jome In'.vs for the fisher- . . ., ... . ies of the fctato. .

One or two milch cows, which furnish milk and butter for home use, are kept on each farm. Each farmer raises hogs to supply pork and lard for home use, and some pork is sold at local markets. However, largo quantities of pork and lard are ship ped into the county for use in the towns. Poultry raising is of consider able importance and this industry is growing.
