“laying down the theory" to a large

Patrolman MeCauley decided that
Nixon was disturbing the peace and
started to arrest him. This proved
quite a task and four more patrolmen
were called into nctiton before the ex
pounder was subdued and placed un
der control.
After being placed in a cell at tile
statiten house. Nixon proceeded to
give further evidence in sup;>ort of
the evolution theory. Stripping him
self to tbe waist, he began to climb
the whflls of the cell and to “tell the
world” he was a monkey.. The po

Nixon to the Philadelphia General
Hospital for observation.

It wouldn't do to oppose reduc

with everybody. The party that
fought it would be doing the worst
thing imaginable for Itself.
On the other hand, the Demo- !

Obipel Hill. Aug. 12.—There are ’
ati present only two states in the
Vmoo That have more farms under
cultivation than North Carolina and, i
only rtwo states have a larger farm
pdputotion, according to an article in
the Nfeivs I.etter, published weekly by.
the 'ilbiver-ity of North Carolina.
’“ifi' spite of our great rapid urban
growth in North Carolina.’! continues
the article, "we arc still predoSni
naiikly a rural ktate. We hear so
much about the unprecedented growth
of our towns and cities that we'are
likely, to get the impression that the
State has passed over into the urban
gretup.
“In only four slates of the I'nion
is the farm population ratio higher
th.au in North Carolina. We are 71
Iter cent rural, and f»8 per cent of our
people actually live on farms. While
half the states are losing fartps, and
tlje .United StStes i» suffering a net
bias of farm people. North Carolina
is Increasing her farms 'and furirfj
population at a rate that testifies!-
that agriculture in our state is gen-!
erally prosperous, and is a satisfying |
method of making a living.”
Discussing home ownership the ar
ticle states that less than half of
the people of North Carolina live in
homes of their own. “Forty-three
and one-half per cent of all farms in
North Carolina are operated by ten
ants, and 52.(1 per cent of homes, town
anil country, are occupied by renters.
Iti—farm tenancy ratios North Caro
lina ranks fortieth among the states,
while in the per cent of all homes
! occi*ied by owners, farm and others,
1 ?7 pates 'liiake a better showikg.
ExcM't for our excessive farm tenant
ratio North Carolina would rank
1 fairly well among the states in home
ownership.
"Between 1910 and 1920 there was
an increase in the per cent of farms i
i operated by tenants, but a general
trend towards home ownership on the J
' part of non-farming elases. Although
our farm tenants increased by more
than'ten thousand, the per cent of
all homes rented, farm and urban, de
creased from 53 per cent to 52.6 per
cent; the per cent of all homes owned
free of encumbrance increased from
38.(i lo 39.3 per cent. The per cent
of all owned homes owned free of en
cumbrance increased from 82.2 to
82.!) per cent, in which respect North
Carolina ranks best among the states
of the Union. However, less than
half of the people of flic state live in
homes of their own. and 27 states
make a better showing than North
. Carolina,” ,
