Ask the young people what they want done about the campaign. Ask vour child or the child of a neighbor, j Take their advice and the goal will be reached in a single day. MRS.

It is in the | creek lowgrounds and the country 1 round about is for the most part {level, finally tapering off into slight i rises off a good distance from the mound. The land is perfectly flat and ! level as a floor where the mound is I situated. i Trees were growing all over this ■ mound until a few months ago, when j they were cut down by the Carolina ! Power and Light Company. No one j seems-*) have paid any attention to this unique relic of the Mound Build ers until just recently, when the road was made through that secion and the trees were cut. But now the mound stands out clear and distinct against the landscape, and anyone passing along the high way could hardly fail to notice this funny, eone-like Shape rising aloft for 35 'to 40 feet. These mounds are found in all of the Gulf States, and throughout the South. A few are in West. Virginia, and some are found in practically every Southern State, 'but this mound in Stanly County is the only one know nto exist in North Carolina, it is believed.

Airy, and State In spector Surratt as the investigation of charges of graft in the administra tion of the sanitary outhouse laws en tered its third day. Questioning of witnesses will continue through Wed nesday, and if the investigation is not completed by that time, be ad journed to May 31st. Several witnesses from Mt. Airy tes tified today that Inspector Surratt rec ommended carpenters to them to re-' pair or rebuild outhouses he had con demned. These carpenters, it was said, invariably were from points oth er than Mt. Airy. No witnesses for the “defence"’ testi fied this, morning, but the trend of i questions by Chief Inspectors Whit ley and McLeod was of a nature to indicate that evidence showing that an i epidemic of typhoid fever in Mt. Airy j had created an emergency which would not warrant waiting on the local car pentery supply. Hearsay continued to be the star witness whenever actual evidenct as to graft was nought, but B. H. Pace, of Hendersonville, testified to ]>erhapx the strongest evidence of tin* entire investigation when he swore that one of three negroes told him they “guessed” that inspectors got four out of ten dollars paid to them for build ing outhouses.
