The rules and conditions govorn- ing the mental contests for the afternoon exercises on the oounty- wide Sunday school r»lly dny on May 1 at Brevard Institute, are given below. These contests are open to members of all Sunday schools in the county. In the morn ing program, as given in last week's News, every Sunday school in the oounty is requested to take a part in the way ot a st>ng, recitation or some other ext*rcisc. Sunday sclun)l superintendents are urged to look after this matter and see to it that their schools are i'i‘i)res»*ntcd in Home w'liy so as to umke the exer cises as reprcsentiitive as possible.

Furnishing Refreshments The refreshment committee on the Sunday school rally to be held on May 1 wishes to call attention to the change in the program of last year in the matter of refresh ments. Brevard and (lak Grove hereto fore have furnished lunch for the county. This year the committee requests each Sunday scliool represented to send lunch for those in attenOance from that Sunday school, and in this wav hopes to arouse a spirit of co-oi>eration. The baskets will be left at the maiti building of tlu? Institute on that morning where a committee will receive and take care of them. At the close of the morning ]>ro- gram lunch will bo served on tin grounds of the Institute, all gather ing around a long table. Those sending refreshments on plates or i)bitters are reiuest«Hl to write namo on same also on baskets. Mus. (>. L. Ekwin, ('hairmau Refreshment Committee.

They range in price from $1.60 to $5.25. WEILT’S CASH STORE The reports of 1'. V. Whitmire as over- r-t'er of lirevard township are fairly com plete as to the funds received from the c lunty treasurer, except that in his linal report he does not acknowledge or ac count for $108.52 charged to him on the county ledger October 4, 191f>. The details of much of his e.xpendi- tures are lacking, while his reports on T'li' reports from the overseer of Cath- t ys Creek township seem ; to be in perfcct ■I,.; -.. ! ,,i- b.dances from iiuarter to >i • 1^ r ; .-pond, all transfers from the uti'.v ireasurer are correctly reported, and e\en more, for in the third (juarter lor 19l0 he reports the receipts and ac-1 cash and labor, collected from tho-e in counts for $200 CO with w hich he is not charged, and the source of which I have so far failed to tind He rej)orts at the opening of the vear 135 hands subject to road dut)% from whom he collected in all $222.75 cash and 2.^0 days labor, leaving 81 '+ days or dol lars be should collect or explain. In Dunns Rock township the overseer was changed August 1916. There has been no report filed since September 30, l‘>16. Charges of $18.80 on June 9, 1916, and of $30.9iS October 4, 1916, on the county ledger are not acknowledged or accounted for. Sixty-one road subjects are reported and 149 days work, and $23.00 cash col lected, leaving $32.00 or days work still due or to be reported in the report for the last quarter when same is filed. Eastatoe township; Joe Garren, over seer. le township liable for the same, are in a very un.satisfactory condition. j I cannot find that he repc.rts, in either j year of his work, the number liable for ; n>ad duty. | Fro»n December 1, 1914, to December 31, ! 1915, he reports $264.40 cash collected in i lieu of work and 60'j days of labor per formed by road subjects. (Total $374.90.) In 1916 he reports 240 days of labor by road subjects (no names given) .ind col lection of but $172.00 in cash (with no names except for $54.00 of same.) For your comparison I might say that in 1914 the overseer for that year reports $970.50 cash collected and 268V days work by road subjects. In 1913 the re port for the first quarter is missing, but from April 21 to Dec ,Tiber30 of that year $826.50 cash was reported collected. The Brevard Banking Company reports that it holds notes of various township over.^eers indorsed by some of the county commissioners. I find no record of the same in anv 1 iv.. iorn-'.v.ij.
