The School Grounds Committee wishes to expres its appreciation of the kindly response made by so many to the needs of the school grounds fund. The i.Iea of soliciting any con tributions whatever was entirely due to the voluntary offer of one of our citizens, always generous beyond his means, to head a subscription list to assist the Woman's Club in its effort, if nineteen other men would follow his example. Soliciting funds for any work no matter how fine or beneficial to the community is always exceed ingly and eminently undesirable, and one is not always met with the kind ly greeting which costs nothing, but means as much as the money re sponses to those undertaking the thankless job. The offer necessitates the condition, but only those were expected to con tribute who were able, and truly ap- preciated the opportunity to assist in a matter of first community interest In explanation of the work being done, would say it was recognized in the winter of 1910-il that no plans but those of an acknowledged land scape architect would meet with gen eral approval, and after repeated ef forts such plans were secured, though it seriously depleted our small funds. From that time efforts have been made to create a fund to carry out the plans, but with all our efforts they have not met with the present needs. The barren condition of the grounds has been an eye-sore, but the futility of doing any little work before this that would have been torn up when the water works were installed pre vented any effort. For those interested in the financial condition of the Woman's Club we would explain that after paying out from the general treasury for the granite sand, the heavy excavating for the walkway and the hauling, etc., there remained the planting around the front of the building, the buying f some additionel shrubs called for by our plans, the building of the gran ite retaining wall, the cement gutters, besides furnishing the material. By that time our general fur.d was limit ed to about fifty dollars, when one hundred more was needed, and that situation, after the general outlines of the plans could be seen, was what appealed to the citizen above referred n The accounts of the committee have bee . 0M of Asheboro.g . aceauntjints good accountants, and every dollar has been most carefully spent. There is no more money to continue the work at present. To those who have kindly given the good dirt for the enrichment of the soil, to the one who offered his ser vices free to prepare the soil for grass and to him who has promised to sow the ground in peas, as well as to some of the little school children who have entered into the spirit of the work so nicely as to offer to do anything they could do to earn money for the school grounds, and to the one on whom the extra work devolves when entertain ments are given, the school grounds committee extends its heartiest thanks. SCHOOL GROUNDS COMMITTEE. CIVIC CLUB AT BENNETT The Woman's Civic Club, of Ben nett, met with Mrs. H. A. Denson Thursday afternoon, April 29th. It being the annual meeting of the club, the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. H. A. Denson; Vice- President, Mrs. Floyd Deaton; record ing secretary, Mrs. W. C.

CORPORATION COMMISSION ON TAX LISTING The Corporation Commission of North Carolina, acting as the State Tax Commission, issued letters last week to the county assessors and the township tax listers in all the coun ties of the State as preparation for the tax listing period during this month, and especially for the confer ences between the county assessors and township tax listers to be held at the county seats.
