TWELVE
COMMISSION TO ACT
ON STATE BUDGET
Meeting to Consider Estimates
; Will Be Held Soon After
November 10
(Special to The Star)""
RALEIGH, Oct. 26. The budget com
mission will meet here soon after No-,
vembe 10 for the purpose . of going
over the estimates of expenses of the
various state departments for the com
ing year in order that it may prepare a
tentative budset for the 1921 session of
the legislature. The budget commis
sion, composed of the governor, , a
representative of the tax commission
and a committee from the legislature
representing the finance and appropria
tions committees, will go over the de
partment estimates and work them into
some semblance of conformity with
the estimated revenues of the state for
the coming two years. '
Each state department, institution
and office has been asked by the com
mission to submit a budget of Jts pro
posed expenditures "for the coming two
years?', Forms have; been" prepared and
the ' blanks sent to. all departments and
Institutions. . They.' sLre asked to fill put
these blanks and 'return 'them to Ral
eigh not later than November 10. 'The
request for this .information, of, course,
does not parry with it the promise that
all the demands for revenue will be met
in full. .The commission will go over
the various tentative budgets, consider
the program of work for the coming
year and look into the needs of the
various departments and Institutions.
Lejflslntnre Acts Finally
Ultimate decision as to whether or
not any one department will get allthe
money "it asks for will be up to the
.legislature, of course, but the work of
the budget commission will greatly
facilitate the dutiestof the finance and
appropriations committees of the legis
lature, The legislature is expected to
follow the suggestion of the budget
commission very largely, though it is
possible that, in some instances, the
recommendations of the commission
may be overruled.
The budget commission is a product
of the last session of the legislature
and will, its advocates assert,- put the
expenditures of the state on a more
scientific basis. Once the. budget is
adopted, it will be adhered to and every
institution will be expected to keep
within the limits of money appropri
ated for it. Likewise, the money must
be spent in the manner outlined be-for-
the budget commission and finally
adopted by the legislature. It will
mean ' the application . of the - best
methods'' of the- business - of ; the state
and is a system that has been recom
mended to legislators for many years
by business men.
LAZY ARTESIAN VELLS v
IN NEED OF DEEPENING
Kinston Faces Problem in Its
Water Supply '
(Special to The Star) - ;
KINSTON, N. C. Oct. 2 6-The scores
of artesian wells which gusli up all
: over this town will have to be deep
ended about 200 feet, according to no
tice served on the community by
f'Dynamite" Wilkins, expert on such
things and ' the explosive . from which
he many years ago took the nickname
' by which he is known throughout thi,s
part" of the .country, v 'ji
The municipal pumping station ia on
, --.lower ground than the rest of the city.
New. wells sunk there are robbing the
: overflow wells, Wilkins declares, and
vthe latter will have to be bored to a
lower level. At the' level- to which he
proposes-to bore there is enough '"pure,
.' mineral water" to supply "'a town like
. Baltimore,,"1 he states, and t will be
a comparatively simple matter to tap
that supply. .
' ' Dozens of fountains and pipes bring
ing the water from 350 feet down are
beginning to "get lazy" or cease flow-'-tng.
The water pumped into Kinston
homes or running free that all may
' drink - has well-known mineral prop
. erties. . - t. ;. V" .
"xiynamite"; Wilkins, who - some years
ago, drew the interest ot noted geol
ogists by bringing water rrom tne
beaches of east Carolina where no
V fresh water was thought to exist, as
serts that the local supply is of iden
tical quality with that at Seven
Springs, which merits greater exploi
tation, he declares, than has been ac
corded it in the past. Artesian wells
flow along the roadsides and on the
t farmsall around the city, and the" crys
tal clear liquid they give, forth is rec
"ognized officially as the "principal as-r
set" of the community.

(Special to The; Star ;
KINSTON; Oct. 26. One of the most
unusual arguments presented ( Rev.
Marshall Craig in the effort "to induce
him to reject the call from the First

from the. Jewish friends of the popular

with "his own people," , though . Klj)s

four years old.
Hirshfield said it was very clear in
the writings on the Talmud; that when
Jacob removed from one place to an-'
other, not only his person, but his
spirit made , the migration. He gave
what he regarded as a clear exposition
jpf the case. Mr.. .Craigs opinion did
(not coincide with Mr. Hirshfield's.
