Prince said he was unable to estimate how much paid "sick leave and vacations would coat the commission. Heretofore th;? commission has . granted sick leave to maintenance employees who have been In the commis sion’s employ for five years. Prince Indicated the commis sion meant busine?s when it de clared war On advertising signs within 50 feet of highway cen ters. “The highway commission in tends to give special emphasis to this program and to take steps immediately to carry it out.’’ he said. “There are so many signs along the roads that they consti tute a hazard in that they dis tract motorists’ attention,’’ Prince continued. ' The ordinance against signs becomes effective November 1. but the owners of sigiis leas- Moore, president of ed property are given 12 months “to relocate or readjust’’ their sign.?. In addition, the rule does not apply to signs advertising places of business situated^ on highways, Charlea Ross, chief counsel for the commission, expressed the opinion the commission had the “police power” to regulate high way signs despite the fact most highway rlghts-of-way extend only 30 feet on each side of a road. Whom I depend to ,’ keep me straight On my .WUkeq, county history, tells me th#t ,Coi: Cleve; land left 'Wllkee county' partly 'kbw'eveh somd ^ock keadston^ ‘without Ini^lptloifs,' and places.

In acknowl edgment of his heroic services in the revolution. Perhaps to these in^Bing considerations could he ad^ed the additional fact that ef- ter the stir subsided, things and times became somewhat tame in Wilkes for the doughty hero. Thei*e were then Indians to fight and'borders to be subdued on the South Carolina frontier. Hie result was that Col. Cleve land came Into possession of a splendid farm, and it still is. It Is located near Madison, at the confluence of a large creek with the Tugaloo river.

In addition to all this- it seem* that the government marker was placed at Ihe wrong place. The built-up rock tomb, at the bead of which the marker Is placed. Is, I was told, the sPot where Mary Graves Cleveland, the wife, was buried. Mrs. Cleveland having died first, this solid box tomb, of field stones, was built by Col. Cleveland himself. It is a safe conjecture, then, that the sunken spot, unmarked, beside the box tomb is where our hero was buried. It must not be understood, how ever, that the memory of Col.

Rcsolution.s of Resp«tt The members of the Cllngman Council No. 44C. .Tr. O. U. .4. M. have learned with profound re gret and sorrow of the death of our Brother and honored mem ber, R. Harvey Greene. He was among the first members of the Order and has always had the interest of the Council at heart, holdin.g different offices in the Council from time to timo. Not only when the Council was young and needed support most did he give a generous portiop of his time and trlent, but in later years as well, evca until his death, he was a faithful mem ber. For this fact we acknowl edge our deep indebtedness for the accomplishments o' many things we have endeavored to do. First; The same fine traits of character and sonduct which were exemplified in our brotherhood were in evidence in every part of his life. When he was called away at the age of 51 it is « vi- dent that he had given his best years of labor and usefulness to his Council, church and commu nity. Second: That we may extend to the members of the immediate family some expression of our sympathy in their overwhelming and irreparable loss. Third: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereav ed family, one put on the minutes of our Council, and copies he sent to the local papers for pub. lication. Respectifully, J. R .PARDUE, E. L. MARTIN, W. D. RUMPLE, Commute. Question: Can electricity he used to cure sweet potatoes?
