MARS HILL HONORS MEMORY OF SLAVE ? '{Continued /ro>n Pass Que) large number of visitors present fer j the day, gathered in a watural ampi theatre on the campus where the ash es of Joe had been reinterred and where a granite marker had been erected to his memory. At the beginning of the unveiling ceremony, J. Bascom Huff, of the English department of Mara Hill col lege and the grandson of Edward Carter, on whose land the first build ings of the college were erected-, pre sented the living descendants of Joe who were present. The granite mark er, the gift of C. M. Palmer of the Palmer Stone Works of Albermarle, N. C.t was unveiled by little Miss Ruth Carter Tilson and Master Ed ward Poole, great-grand grandchil dren of Edward Carter. The memori al bears the inscription "In memory of Joe, a slave who was taken by the contractors of the first building of this college as a pledge for the debt due them, 1856." Joe, believed to be the only human being who was ever actually taken to help pay for a college, has become a symbol at Mars Hill of the human values which have gone into the founding and maintenance of the col lege, and the story of his' incarcera has Becomc a campus legend. When the first buildings of the college were erected in 1856 some thing like $1200 were due the con tractors, Shackleford and Clayton, of Asheviile. The local people who de sired a college in the vicinity had they thought, to their limit, land be ing plentiful but money exceedingly scarce in this mountain region at the time. The contractors accordingly levied on a negro youth, Joe, belong ing to J. W. Anderson, chairman of the board of trustees, taking him to AsheviUe, eighteen miles away. Be cause Joe was a favorite in the com munity or because they did not want Mr. Anderson to bear all the debt, the members of the board each as sumed a share of the indebtedness and finally redeemed Joe, who lived the remainder cf his days in the com munity. This summer his ashes were removed from a nearby cemetery to a site on the campus where a marker, has been* placed in his memory. 666 LIQUID - TABLETS - SALVE Checks Malaria in 3 days, Colds first day, Headaches or Neuralgia in 30 minutes. 666 SALVE for HEAD COLDS.

FOUR AMENDMENTS TO BE VOTED UPON IN NORTH CAROLINA (Continued from, page one) the entire state vote counts, not mere ly the district vote in which the judge resides and from which he is elected. But if thia change is made, then the majority party can so gerrymander districts that the majority party can always elect their solicitors. In some instances now, a. solicitor is elected in a district, by the opposite party, but if this change is made, then the counties can be so arranged 'that it will be impossible for any but one" party to elect a solicitor.

SAYS DEMOCRACY TO CONSUME ITSELF ff COURSE SS PURSUED (Continued from. Pane One ) and this year the income will hardly exceed 55 billions, of which 20 p6r cent will go for taxes. "When one considers this tremen dous increase in the cost of govern ment, especially in the light of our ' I present economic situation, he won 'ders if the predictions of such great j students of democracy as Macauley, I Spencer and Vcltairo, that democracy . ? would 'consume itself in many ac- j j tivities and their resultant costs, may ; comc to pass. That is our trouble, t ? too many unnecessary and costiy gov- 1 j ernmental functions. i 1 "We hear a great deal about gov ? eminent being responsive to the will .of the people. Well, when government ? takes from us $1. out of every ?5 we ] ! earn for the payment of taxes, it is time for thinking people everywhere l to assert themselves and demand that government give up some of its ac tivities and materially * educe the ! present confiscatory tax levy. When that is done, conditions will improve not before." We contribute to your good looks.
