There were locusts, boils, darkness and oilier things. It’ tlie Lord had threatened to send a legislature to Egypt and keep it in session for more than lie days, discussing reve nue measures, no other plagues would have been necessary. The Children of Israel would have been told to get out of the country im mediately, if not sooner, in order that such a catastrophe might he ( averted. Not only that, hut the I Egyptians probably would have left ! with them. The session in Raleigh is now ap- ; proaching its close. Tie* end is I bound to be in sight. Members of ■he house and senate are almost ex- i hausted. Human endurance cannot i withstand much more. But then, ■■ere are grave doubts whether some >f that crowd really are human. The revenue bill is still up for dis ■ission. A good many of ‘he legis i.ors are opposed to a so-called nuisance tax." The reason for this • pposition is that they, themselves, probably would he classed as nuis ances and, therefore would he taxed accordingly. (lovernor Gardner will probably announce his new highway commis sion during the next day or two -it he hasn’t already done so hv the time this appears in print. Judging from what I heard in Raleigh this week, it looks very much us though Leslie V’. Ames would be the new highway engineer. It is evident that the Gov ernor has no intention ot' making a political machine out of the highway commission. He has been taking his time about announcing the per | sonnel of the commission. And here’s something else you may not have thought of North Carolina is the first State in the union to adopt a State-wide system of highway con trol. Every State in the union is going to be watching to see how the 1 tiling pans out. That’s one reason why Max is being so careful in work ing out the details. And remember too. if you please, that this fellow Ames is the chap who resigned his Louisiana job because the Governor of that State wanted to make a po itical tool out of him. After all, the legislature has ac complished a whole lot of good. The highway legislation is outstanding among the noteworthy accomplish ments. If given a fair trial there is no question but that it will work out G. K. The conference committee on the revenue hill spent several days be hind closed doors. What a fine op portunity for a little poker game! They made their report this week, which probably will mean that either the house or the senate -if not both will promptly vote against it. Then another conference committee will be reappointed, and its offerings, too will he rejected. By 193 8 there won’t be any more members left to name on the committee, and the legislature probably will adjourn. In the mean time, our ad valorem taxes will run on as usual. It takes a real, honest-to-goodness farmer to size the thing up accurate ly.

COOKING SCHOOL HERE LAST WEEK SUCCESS Co' king: Sclncl, Put On By The Virginia Electric And Power Company Here Last Week And Sponsored By The Local Woman’s Club Declared A Great Success. The three day cooking school put on by the Virginia Electric Power Co., and sponsored by the Woman’s Club was a decided success. The committees appointed by the presi dent. Mrs. Bounds, faithfully per form'd their duties and there was a splendid spirit of loyalty and cooper- ; at ion throughout 1he sessions. The consensus of opinion was Unit the Power Company had secured in Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Dickenson the best artists obtainable. Their efficiency in preparing the most attractive and delicious foods with the minimum of effort left no doubt in the minds of tho audience that home making was one of the fine arts, the drudgery of which could be eliminated by the use of the electric household helps which are now available. The busi ness homes of Weldon with the ad dition of a few from Itoanoke Rapids, Rosemary and Rocky Mount, con tributed a number fo valuable prizes which were daily presented to the fortunate winners. The interest was evidenced by a daily increase in attendance. The offer of a pair of Enna-Jettick Shoes contributed by Daniels of Rocky Mount to the per son bringing in the largest number from the adjoining towns and the awarding of the grand prizes added interest to the last day’s session. The shoes were won by Mrs. R. M. Pope of Rosemary with Miss Mar garita M&ddrey a close second with a good number from Seaboard. Each day Halifax. Enfield and Tillery had representatives. The Weldon Wom ans’ Club deeply appreciate the in terest of each and every one who in any way contributed to the success of the school. A number of the choice recipes demonstrated will at an early date be published in the Roanoke News. Following is a list of the prizes, recipients and donors: Mrs. C. G. Fulghum, 1 •> crate Coca Cola.
