Asheboro needs a public library and if the Chamber of Commerce wants to do something that would be of real serv ice right quick it should 1ooe no time in organixng a public library. A public library is one of tfie most valuable assets nf a town. Soxxl schools are valuable but what are schools without libraries for af str all education chiefly consists in leanrinp how to find thinps in books. The entire issoe of the University News Letter of October 10th is de voted to a discussion of the State f nances.

The De ft is proven by the Agricultural partm iliat ;n th Piedmo.'it and mountain counties of North Carolina a bettor yield of potatoes are grown tnan. in TTairie and as fully good Keif potai'is can be grown in these counties ( planting in eastern North Carolina n. are grown in Maine, and the Piedivont and mountain counties are now supplying North Carolina with what is known as the second erop potatc-es for seed and consider able is saved by doing this. The first step in destroying the Boll Weevil is to destroy the cotton plants as eoen as the cotton is picked by turning them under thoroughly so that the boll weevil will have noth ihg to subsist upon. When these ootton plants are turned over there should be a cover crop of rye, vetch, ot some kind of winter cover crop. Another important thing tobacco farmers should do is to cut down and turn under tobacco stalks as soon as the tobacco is taken off the stalks to ne cured. Education and modern science are doing wonders. Recently a five months old baby swallowed an open safety pin, the facts about which were published in this newspaper. "Bier baby was taken to a Philadelphia Hospital where X-Ray pictures were made. The surgeon studied the pic ttnres and removed the pin by the use of a bronchoscope, a delicate instru ment. Had it not been for the skill of the surgeon and the wonderful Instrument of the modern invention the child would have no doubt died m severe agony. Lucius Poke McGehee, for many years dean of the law school of the University of North Carolina who graduated at the University and at tended the University law school with xte- erfltor of The Courier and obtain ed.", his license with him died in a Richmond hospital last Thursday, Oc tober 11th, and was buried in Raleigh. The. deceased had been in bad health, the result of paralysis. He was aged r6- years and was one of the bright est students that ever attended the University. The marks which he made were the most perfect unless it was the marks made by the late John Pedigrew and the late Senator Sanson, both of whom were in his eiass as students but neither surpass ed him in mental attainments or equipment. Dr. Copeland, U. S. Senator from New York, spoke at Kings Mountain eelebration on October 6th. Dr. Copeland is an eminent physician. On snaring the State he expressed the greatest gratification and admiration of the progress North Carolina is making; Col. F. A Hampton, Sena tor Simmons secretary iHomunU News letter sets forth all the facts : nd fitrv.-e- howing the State's finan cial condition and these experts in Mathematics and economics at the University of our State comes to the lollowing conclusion: 1. The State, in terms of actual cash in hand, lacked on December 31, 1922, by about five million dol lars an amount sufficient to wipe out its expenses incurred up to that time. It is presumably in about the same position today, and will be as long as it operates on its present fi nancial system. 2. The accrual basis involves the use of credit as against antici pated revenues, which accrue dur ing a given period but are collectable later. 3. The State shifted to the ac crual basis in 1921, when it changed its system of taxation, discontinuing the use of taxation on property for State purposes, and beginning sys tematically to tax incomes. As the in come tax for 1921 was not collectable until 1922, and as the property tax for State purposes had been aban doned, the State borrowed against the accruing, but later collectable, in come taxes. 4. On the accrual basis the tests of soundness for the State are whether its expenditures for a given period do or do not exceed the rev enues which accrue for that period and may later, when collected, be used to pay the expenses of that period, and whether the State can borrow advantageously. 5. For the twenty-five months ending December 31, 1922, the State's accruing revenues, once they were collected, plus its surplus of $2,045,232.74 on December 1, 1920, were sufficient to meet its expendi tures and leave a surplus of $680, 855.38, if the school note be exclud ed. If the schoor note be included this surplus becomes a deficit of $29,- 144.62. Without the initial surplus on December 1, 1920, its revenues would not have sufficed to meet its expenditures. 6. Information as to whether the btate during the present two-year period is living within its resources is not yet available. The question of whether the State should operate on a cash or on the accrual basis is a question of public policy, altogether apart from an analysis of the facts such as the News Letter has tried to give. But the question of the proper basis for fi nancial operation should not be con fused with the question of the sound ness of the State's financial condition On the basis which it has adopted. It is very important that these two is sues should be kept separate in the public mind. L. R. Hughes, J. P. Mrs. Walker is the attractive daughter of Mr; and Mrs. B. F. Robbins, of Randleman.

PLEASANT, i- 2M0-18 Randleman, N. C Located In North Asheboro, next .. doortoHlrtwaT r. , .f i The ' following editorial is taken from the National Grange Monthly of September, 1923. For many years this magazine has sounded a vigorous note for cleaning up the agricultural fairs and has vigorously protested the toleration of reatures at sucn events which are notoriously dishonest, immoral and degrading. In this stand it has faith fully expressed the long-avowed Grange policy and it is gratifying to see the farm papers one by one fall apparently deliberated a long time before they dared to speak. A great crusade is at last getting well under way, and the day of the dirty fair is well-nigh done. There will be fewer objectionable features at the fairs conducted the next two months than ever before and still less next year. When the final clean op is accomplish ed, and all fairs become thoroughly decent and respectable, the greatest possible advance step for agriculture will have been accomplished: and through all the lone fisrht. oast' and yet to come, the Grange will be found to have borne a large part of it and must therefore be awarded a goodly share of the final credit Firm in the nurnose to drive hard the campaign for clean fairs, space is httingly given m this Autumn Boost er Number for an exnreasion , f views from several ackowledred farm i i i .
