BUILD WPONDS I
AND INCREASE CASH
Raleigh, April 20. ? ''The present is
the most opportune time for the con- \
struction of fish ponds," said VVayllan j
Jones, of Smithfield, Johnson c.'iuly I
game and fish warden. "Cost of con- ;
stiuction of such ponds is lower at ;
this time than for years. The amount
of relief of the unemployment situa
tion which could bo provided by be
ginning such projects immediately !
would be considerable.
"A resident of Johnson county has |
recently completed- a tish pond which
.save employment to 10 men for a
total of about live days. The benefits
of the tish ponds, in addition to the ;
immediate service of providing work,
are immense. These ponds provide
in ciilei- facilities for constructive

Mr. Jones said seven new fish ponds

and still others planned. Johnson was
one of the leaders in fish pond con
struction last year and is expected to

COMMWON MA Y
MAKE DEEPER PROBE
Raleigh, April 20.? The North
Carolina Corporation Commission,
vested with additional authority by
the 1931 General Assembly, has under
contemplation a more thorough in
vestigation of the investments oi'
public utilities in the State, on which
is based the authority for making
rates that will bring a sufficient re
turn on investments. Recent reports
of 12 public utilities companies, gas
and electric, show total valuations of
?362,817,611.23. on which earnings
last year were $29,502,OSO.
The Commission has authority to
investigate to see if the valuations of
the property investments are justified
thus justifying the rates charged for
gas and electricity. There is no in
timidation that the values are far out
of line. The Commission may have
trouble in securing sufficient funds
for its investigation, during this
period of cutting and restricting ex
penditures.
SCHOOLS IN COUNTY
OPERATED FOR LESS
' ? I
Raleigh, April 13 ? Nearly $4,000,
000 have-been saved during the past
year, the first under State operation,
in the cost of the six months consti
tutional school term, based on a cost
of approximately $22,500,000 for the
year 1930-31, as compared with
$19,183,642.83 budgeted for 1931-32,
some of which will be saved, accord
to figures announced by LeRoy Mar
tin, secretary of the State Board of
Equalization.
The 10 per cent cut in salaries ac
counts for $1,300,000 of the reduction
while the remainder results from
reductions in numbers of teachers
paid extra ;from county and local
funds and savings through all of the
operating costs of the public schools,
Mr. Martin's figures show.
Figures by counties show that the
total expenditures from county and
State funds for the public school six
months period in 1930-31 waj $21,
642,765,62, in addition to funds from
local district levies used in meeting
.operating costs of 'the six months
term. Based on the $1,367,031.58
shown in the present year budgets,
Mr. Martin places a conservative for
last year at $900,000 from local tax
levies, which estimate would show a
total cost of approximately $22,500.
000 for the six months term in
1930-31.
The total so far allotted from
State and Federal funds for 1931-32
is now $15,958,529.16, which Mr,
Martin estimates will reach $16,000,- '
000 when all estimatecmfwypmfwyp
000 when all allotments are complet
ed, including audits. The counties and
local districts budgeted $3,223,103.67
from county and local levies to sup
plement the State funds, of which :
$1,858,012.09 is derived from county- :
wide ad valorem levies, fines, forfei
tures, dog tax and part of poll tax 1
levies, and $1,367,091.58 is expected i
to be derived Jrom local district .
levies for 1931-32 six month costs. 1
Although the amounts budgeted for
1931-32 show a decrease in cost of i
only $3,300,000, the actual, rather i
than the budgeted, expenditures), will 1
bring this decreaso in cost to nearly
?4,000,000, Mr. Martin estimates. j
Transylvania county spent $81,- i

NEWELL NOMINATED
FOR THE U.S. SENATE
Charlotte. April !9. ? Hon. Juke F. ,
Newell, leading lawyer, Sunday school
teacher of note, and one of the state's !
outstanding citizens, was nominate!
here last Thursday by the Republi
cans as candidate fort the United
States senate. In his speech of accep- j
tance Mr. Newell declared, if elected, i
he would stand to and abide by the \
Eighteenth Amendment and all laws '
in support of the same ; that he would
use his influence to prevent the ap- '
pointment to public office of any man
who violates the prohibition law, or
HON. J. F. NEWELL
?
any other law, niui wili urge removal
from public office any man who via'
lates the law.
Mr. Newell's speech was received by
thy five thousand men and women
leathered in the Armor? building,
where the convention was held. Fol
lowing aie extracts from Mr. Ne well's
speech:
"I am deeply moved by this spon
taneous evidence of your confidence in
me. resulting in bestowing upon me
your nomination as your candidate for
United States Senator. I would be on
true to myself if I did not tell you
that I appreciate your confidence and
the great, honor you have done me.
"Standing before this great conven
tion, composed as it is of patriots from
the mountains to the sea and from
the boundary of the Old Dominion to
the Palmetto State. I feel almost over
whelmed at the responsibility the ac
ceptance of your nomination involves.
But it is not possible that patriots
should be cowards, nor is it possible
that one called to lead or serve in the
country's hour of need and peril
should falter and fall back.
"In marching forth into this battle
of the ballots, I am going to ask you
to let me walk beside of you; to let
me share with you the burdens of our
undertaking: and, if need be, to let
me suffer with you for the cause of
our country. In going- forth I make
you some personal promises:
"I shall strive at all times and
everywhere to carry your banner with
dignity to myself and honor to you.
I shall not besmirch it by dipping it
into the pots and pits of abuse. No
opponent or enemy of mine shall be
libeled, slandered or abused by me.
Not even when he abuses me. If my
shield is the shield of truth, his darts
though with poisoned points, shall
unharm me.
"I shall strive always to speak the
truth. The day has passed when men
may win their way into the hearts
and minds of the people of this coun
try by false representations. No de
ceiver can long masquerade as a pat
riot.
Jt shall strive to give to every mau
his just rights. Even my enemy,
though he deny me mine, shall have
his. There is no other way to make
this Republic secure and perpetual. It
must be founded on the rock of jus
tice, and a passion for justice must
be the spirit of our people.
"I shall carry your banner un
afraid. I may walk through barren
wastes, cheerless valleys and hostile
hills; tut I shall not be alone. These
principles shall sustain me and your
confidence and prayers shall comfort
me.
?'I shall not forget that Lincoln and
Roosevelt are looking down uron our
efforts here, and I sh r>. ! 1 ever stand
under the flag hallowed by Lincoln
and glorified by Roosevelt ? the Stars
and Stripes forever.
"I shall help you to build a party
that will have an ear to hear :> id a
h.".nd to help every honest business,
giwt ov smtill, and the cry of a child,
whether the baby of Lindbergh or th<^
baby of th\? mother for whom there
is no room in the inn.
"With these promises to you, and
expressing my gratitude to you, I ac
cept your nomination and dedicate
myself, as your representative, to the
service of our great country ? tho hope
of a broken world.'*

Jnriors Hear Powerful Semon At '
Brevard Bapfti Onj,
"Unless your organizatitjn is mak
ing contribution to the welfare of
mankind, it. has lto right to exist, and
will not long exist," said Rev. Paul
(lartsell in a sermon last Sunday,
Speaking especially to membars of
the junior Order. Word had been sgnt
to Brevard from Aslieville tha1, dele
gations of Juniors were to bo in
Brevard from Anheville and other
nearby towns, and a lew came. A
laige crowd of BrivarJ J::aioi had
gathered for the purpose of attending
services at the Brevard Baptist
church.
Rev. Mr. Hartsell preached one of
the strongest sermons ever heard in
this country. He would not, he said,
rehearse the good deeds that had been
done by the order: nor spend the time
in praises of past itchicvements, but
preferred to talk about what could
be done by the order in the present
and future.
The Junior Order, like other frater
nities, Mr. Hartsell said, is the result
of the progress of the human raec.
At. first, individualism prevailed, but
when people multiplied upon the face
of ? he cai'lh there came first the
tribe as man's original organization;
then came the elan, and from that, the
nation. Yet, iri all the tens of thous
ands of years that have gone by, and
even with the brotherhood siirrit
brought into the world by Jesus
Christ, and the two thousand years
that have followed, brotherhood is*
still in its infant stages. Mr. Hartseli
said.
People have banded themselves to
gether through co-operative move
ments this far because of the necessity
?f such grouping, the self-interest t"
be promoted by such co-operative
effort. The thing that remains to be
done is the promotion of the spirit
of brotherhood which is prompted by
a dwire to help one's fellow man,
> at her than being actuate* by a de
sire for self-help, '
This, the praacher declared, is 1
slowly coming to pass. lie pointed to :
the great work that is beir,g done by
the Junior Order and kindred organi
zations for the advancement of man
kind, ard declared that, this work was
once done only by the church. He
:iW th" activities of the state which
, result in elevation of mankind am:
promolioii ui ti,e welfare oi the hu
j man family as evidence that the
j spirit of real brotherhood is now
coming into force and effect. Many
organizations justify their existence
' through the good work done, and
'among these the preacher catalogued
[the Junior Order. He predicted its
| continued growth so long as It served
I humanity, but declared that when
; this service to humanity was no Sort
er the purpose of the order, then it '
! would have no right to exist, and
would cease to exist. He claimed thn
same for the church, or any other
1 organization of men. vowing that onl\
? through scrvice cculd an organization
! remain intact.
! "God pity the man, be he parson nr
politician, who would hinder the .
growth of the spirit of brotherhccl !
or prevent its boneflcicni: effect b in* 1
iV'.t in any community, " Mr. Hartsoli
said, in closing, declaring that onh;;
in Jesus Christ can b* found the l m" '
spirit of Brotherhood, as then? can t
' no brotherhood except there be first
a fatherhood, and there must, there
fore, be the one Path'.-,* over all, an.'
all those who are His sons are 1
brothers to His only Son ? wherfc is :
found the true brotherhood ot' njavj
under the Fatherhood of God."
Members of the order present, as
well us the congregation, dclared Mr.
HartsclJ's sermon to be one of strenj
appeal and lasting impression.
BRBMMnr QUOTES ;
LAW ON TAX SALES I
Raleigh. April 20. ? Attorney Gen
era! Dennis G. Brummitt has issued
a letter in which he s-els forth thai '
the answers to inquiries to his offict j
from city and county officials or at- j
torneys, relative to sales of land for <
delinquent county and town taxes.. are ;
simply statements of the laws on tho :
matter, and not opinions or orders
from his office as to what the officials
should do. !
In a letter to J. W. Price, of Price,
Mr. Brnmmitt refers to letters sent
previously to B. L. Fentress, county
attorney of Guilford county, and J.
E. Brown, clerk and tax collector of
Vaneeboro. in which he points out
that the definite dates for action ty
the governing body of city or county
and for the sale of property for de
linquent taxes arc to be followed, ac
cording to law.
"These letters," writes the Attor
ney General, "simply state the law as |
w'c find it in the statutes. But thc-y
are not rulings or official opinions of
this office. They are not binding or
obligatory upon any board of county
commissioners or town governing
body. The letters were written as a
courtesy, in response to request from
these inquirers, in an effort to aid
them in the performance of their
public duties.
"This office has no control over ,
a board of county commissioners or
a town governing body with respect
to action taken bv such boards in re-,
gard to the sale of land for delin
quent taxes. There is no requirement
of law that local officials should take
or _ follow advisory opinions of this 1
office on that subject. A board of
county commissioners should rely up
on the advice of the county attorney.
A town governing body should do the .
same with respect to the town at
torney.
"The General Assembly makes the
laws. This office cannot change the
law as so made. Nor can a county or
town attorney, a board of county com
missioners. or a town governing body.
It is for your board to determine
within the law what your action shall
be with respect to any matter pro- j
perly coming before it. If mistakes i
have been made with respect to the I
passage of legislation, it is for the j
General Assembly to correct such rnis- 1
takes. Not even a court can do other
wise than follow fhe law as it finds
it to be. ,
"Th? executive and administrative
officers of the State may wish that
the I nv were otherwise than it is, but
none of them have any legislative
y>ow?r. None of them can change the j'
law, I
"In the final analysis, it is for your .
county attorney to advise you as to ' '
your duties under the law on this !
subject,'' Attorney General Brummitt ?

VELVET BEAMS GOOD
Hundred Day Speckeled !:?
Recommended By L. J.
Case, Expert.
An economical way to winter ox'
fatten beef cattle is to graze them on,
velvet beans planted in com. A double
purpose of improving the soil and
fattening the animals is thus served.
L. 1. Case, beef cattle expert at
State College, recommends the Hund
red Day Speckled as the best variety
for this purpose. This bean is also
known in some localities as the Early
Speckled or Ninety Day Speckled.
The bean seed may be planted in the
f irn when it is first planted or be
tween th<- corn rows at the first culti
vation. The latter plan allows the
corn to make some growth ahead of
the beans and is therefore not pulled
down by the bean vines to such a
great extent- later in the season.
The best method of using the beans
in cattle feeding is to permit the ani
mal to graze the two crops. If the
corn should be needed for other pur
poses, it might be wise to snap some
of the ears prior to putting the beef
animals in the field. In some cases
too, the mature beans are gathered
late in winter to secure planting seed
for another season. Some growers
gather the beans for feed.
Mr. Case suggests that grazing
start following the first hard frost
and be continued through the winter.
When the fields are grazed by cattle
hogs may be used to follow them and
pick up such corn and beans as should
be trampled down. Both vines and
beans will remain edible throughout
the winter exposure. In fact, say?
Mr. Case, weathering makes the beans
more palatable by softening the pods.
Mr. Case tells *f instances where
beef animals have gained as high as
200 pounds each in 90 days by graz
ing in this way. They may not have
the best finish, but they do make
good beef.

CUT WORMS COMING
TO PESTER FARMERS
Poison Bait Only Successful
Method of Exterminating
Wasteful Crusaders.
Cut worms are comiijg! That is the
word of agriculture experts who base
their prediction on the mild winter.
There has been no cold weather U>
freeze out these pests, and agriculture
research men are .predicting that
they will cause more damage this
year than in many years.
The lady-like winter left them alive;
the early spring is going to prove
equally encouraging. They are apt t<>
be a real menace to garden and truck
crops, corn, and tobaeeo. The worms,
it is said, are especially fond of crop#
growing in freshly turned sod where
the ground is soft on the feet and
easy to bore into.
The only effective remedy for these
pests is a poison bait which is scat
tered over the ground, easiest
way to prepare such a poison bait,
and one that will spread far, accord
ing to B. & B. Feed and Seed Com
pany, local Purina Chow distributor,
is to dissolve three pounds of paris
green in three gallons of water and
sprinkle it on 100 pounds of Purina
Bulky Las. The mixture is then
shoveled over and 'there is enough
bait for five acres. At sundown the
poisoned bait is scattered on the
ground. The cut worms come up at
night to feed, attracted by the odor
of the r.ioistened Bulky Las. It tastes
good. The worms eat heartily. . .go
home happy. That will be their last
public appearance.
Mnnv carloads of Bulky Las are
used each year in the United States
and Canada, Says the local Purina
ieaier, for thi3 purpose. It is the
?aaiest way of preparing a poisoned
>ait, because Bulky Las ig already
sweetened and when mixed with paris
jreen and water makes a bulky mix
:ure which is easy to scatter ever
hz ground. It may bs either broad
rast at scattered along the rows at
he haw of the plants.
