Dear Sir: As a citizen of Epsom community, and as Chairman of the School Hofrd at ^pnam High School, I would like to say that our district has an desire at thl* time, either to vote on more taxes for schools, or to y Me off those that we alredHy have. We realize that these are extraordinary times, and that people hardly know what to do. Therefore we feel that it is better to leave this matter as It stands tor the present. In case we should anticipate making any changes in our tax assessments later, we desire that the proposal to do so shall come from the citlaens of our district, instead of coming from an outside group who do not help to pay these taxes. Honing that I have made onr position as a school and district clear concerning this matter, I beg to remain. Yours very truly, W. P. WILSON.

Black Ilea Invariably follow^Wje Mrs. S. J. Williams Passes Away On the morning of January the eighth, dawn broke just In time to light the home-going of Mrs. S. J. Wil liam*, aged 13, of Poplar Spring. V ifh desolate "Hearts we sat beside the silent sea of death and watched that frail bark set sail for other -i hores, brighter far than these. Mrs. Williams had been In ill health for several years with the afflictions of old ag/s. The numberless virtuous ae*4ki,~and beautiful words of her life have* touched upon thousands of chords in human hearts, that will vi brate with gladneas and gratitude throughout eternity. She was ever ready to help the needy and "Qod loveth a Cheerful giver." No "Ala baster Box" of hers was too precious to break upon the bleeding hearts of humanity. She always had a smile lor everyone, and a kind word to cheer tnem on their way. Today, these rare qualities are J met playing upon the chords of our hearts as we re member her, and methlnks I can hear ihem all melt mysteriously into heav enly strains. Surely, from Heaven's ehores, she woald assure, us who fol low after, that our real Hoe awaits us there and that an all-wise Heav enly Father will someday explain the meaning of every bitter tear. "What though the way be rough and dark? I fear no wind or tide; For loved ones await my little bar qute. Just on the other side." The deceased leaves to mourn their loss five children, W. T. Williams, and Mrs. C. S. Perry of Poplar Spring; IE. B. Williams of Bunn, C. P. Wil liams of Zebulon; and Mrs. C. N. Al len of Garner. Three children Mrs. T. A. CoBie of Cedar Rock, Mrs. C. V.

APPOINTED LAST THURSDAY BY GOVERNOR GARDNER Waa Head Raleigh Unit North Caro lina Bank M Trust Ok,? Had In timate Knowledge State's Affair* Through Friendship With Late Treasurer. Raleigh, Jan. 7. ? John P. Sted man, vice president of the North Car olina Bank and Trust company, and head of the Raleigh unit of that run proof organization, this afternoon -picked up Capt. Nathan O'Berry's work where the late state treasurer laid It down Tuesday evening. In Governor Gardner's office, which was overrun with state de partmentallsts and friends of the new . treasurer, Mr. Stedman took the oath of office administered by Justice George W. ?onnor, of the North Carolina Supreme court. Snapshooters filled the executive of fices with smoke from the blazes created when Ur. Stedman, Mrs. Stedman and the children, Governor Gardner and others were photogra phed. The young treasurer, inti mate friend of Captain O'Berry and an Impressive advocate of any cause that he must represent, then went momentarily to the office which he will occupy on full time beginning tomorrow. Appointment la Surprise Mr. Stedman's appointment fol lowing the publication of an Impos ing array of state characters sugges ted as suitable men for the guard ianship of the exchequer, was a sur prise, but the wisdom of it was ac cepted on a moment's reflection. During the latter days of Captain Q'Berry's tenure Mr. Stedman was associated with him almost daily and more than airy other citizen Is better acquainted with the state's fi nances as they relate to the treasury. Captain O'Berry called often on him and relied on his flne judgment which providence gave him in his boyhood. Governor Gardner knew It. Captain O'Berry had suggested that the state set an eye on a likely young man. The duties of the state treasurer now drive that ofllcial with a despotism well-night abso lute. There is no work in the com monwealth that is harder. The man who Alls the place must have something of the endurance of a prize fighter or a football player, he must be a diplomat, look like a mil lion dollars and know the language of the bank. Governor Gardner turned his attention straight to Mr. Stedman and named him so soon as there was seeminess to the great dead, Captain O'Berry. Mr. Stedman has had remarkable rise in the banking world. The earth below is littered with finan ciers who rose like rackets and fell like their sticks. Mr. Stedman has gone up and remained up. He fought Germans before going into the banks, but when he returned to the states he went into one of the Wash ington, N. C. banks. He did finely there. He came to Raleigh six years ago to become assistant cashier of the Citizens National Bank. And the Citizens National always was a bank. It bad the old idea that a bank ought to have money and it had it. It has it now. Mr. Stedman worked there until the North Carolina Bank and Tust com pany hooked up to sundry cities and established in Greensboro the foun tain head of all its funds. When the absorption was completed Mr. Stedman, who is a native of Oxford, was vice president and general man aged of the Raleigh unit. Gives Up Good Salary Mr. Stedman Is only 37 years old, but he leaves a salary slightly less than double the state's $4,500 paid to the most important official out side its governor. To get a young man of the Stedman class, it took a persuasive governor. To attach an elderly man of Captain O'Berry's type it took all of Governor Gard ner's ability. And his excellency does not think he has done better anywhere than he did when he set these two at the opposite ends ?? the financial octave. Queen Mary A delightful program on Queen Mary of Engand was enjoyed by the members of the Currant Literature Club on Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. W. H. Pleasants being hostess. The fol lowing program was given: Paper: The Princess ? Mrs. M. 8. Davis. Reading: The Woman ? Miss Lou Ma Jarman. Paper: The Queen ? Miss Letton. Several musical selections were then enjoyed by the club. At the close of the program a delicious tur key ditaer was served. The Club then adjourned to meet with Mrs. Malcolm McKinne on Jan uary 16th. 1 . FOR FIRST CLASS JOB PRINTOW PHONE NO. 283
