The girls game was played first, ing was decidedly in favor of Bre vard. The locals are coached by and throughout the fracas the scor Miss Nancy Macfie, and she has de veloped a skilled sextet. Pickelsimfer, Townsend and F. Ponder led in scoring, Pickelsimei running up 12 points, Townsend 14, and F. Ponder 14. Scruggs made one point M. Drake was high scorer for Hendersonville, making five points, Heaton five and Jones four. V. Drake added two points to the score, mounting the total to 16. The boys game was a thrilling, fast, flashy, vivid game of basketball that brought the audience to its feet in many instances when an unusual ly clever play was executed. Hender sonville took the lead in the first quarter, placing two points to the locals' 0. In the second quarter the Blue Devils crept upon their rivals, passed their score, and held them in a spirited manner, the quarter end ing 8-7 in favor of Brevard. The third quarter found the Brevard five still leading despite the fact that the visiting coach replaced his entire team with varsity players and the close of the third quarter revealed the score of 16-12 for Brevard. Hendersonville, realizing that de feat was inevitable if they did not play a better game, snapped into the tilt with greater vim and the last quarter was a brilliant one, seldom seen on the basketball court. The score was tied during the fourth quarter until the Hendersonville boys advanced their score to 23. Coach Tilson placed Hays Merrill in the contest during the final mo ments of play and this boy, though dressed in overalls which hampered is playing to a great extent, played an unusual game of basketball, which has never been excelled on the Brevard court. Merrill, fans are con fident, would have won the game had he been placed in the game earlier in the quarter. He made five points during the short time he played, Clayton was high scorer for Bre vard with six points; Pickelsimer, Schachner, Shuford and Middleton made two points each.

Fifty of the 97 North Carolina counties which have borrowed money in the past fiom the Literary Fund and the Special School i Building fund to orect school build- 1 ings have been notified that they are ? expected to pay the principal and , interest in which they are in arrears ; at once in a letter sent out yesterday oy the new State Treasurer, John P. Stedman. The amount the 60 counties are behind totals $702,000, due and pay- j able on December 15 each year, while , 1 589,000 of this amount has been I due from six counties since December j il6, 1930. ! The Literary Fund has been in j I operation many years as an aid to | the counties in erecting: school build- j iinga, the amount being about $1,500,-: 000, .while the Special School Building ! fund is of later origin, having been . j in operation about a decade. In the j latter fund the State sells its bonds and is required to repay the fund and J ipay the interest regularly. It lends the proceeds to the counties at the : rate of interest it is required to pay, thus losing a small amount when in terest and principal are not paid on time. i Treasurer Stedman points out that j the late Captain O'Berry had given due notice to the school boards of the funds due, and advises that because ,the Stat? must pay interest and re : pay the funds as they fall due, it is necessary for the county school boards to repay the State. The con dition of the State Treasury requires prompt payment, he ahows. Moreover, Treasures Stedman said he plans to require counties to make payments of the 15-cent ad valorem tax due twice monthly from the counties, to be used by the State in operation of the six months school term. Transylvania is one of the counties .behind more than a year in its pay ments, having due $8,394.38 December 15,1930; $539.60 due February 10, 15, 1930; $539.60 due December 15, 1931.
