Some Strong Statements
The Reverend Doctor Stratton
makes a strong statement when he
says that it is better to wipe out the
schools than to undermine belief in
the Bible by permitting the teaching
of • -evolution. He makes another
strohg one also when he describes the
typical college graduate who has stud
ied as a sap-headed, cigarette-smok
ing. girl-oglingr tango-dancing youth
as coining from college haus with
nothing except a corn-tassel mustache
and a boot-legger’s breath.
CAB OF POULTRY BEING

Loading Will Continue Today
and Part of Tomorrow—Ex
pect To Fill Car.
Farmers of Randolph county are
again taking advantage of the oppor
tunity to sell their poultry for cash
at a good price this week. Through
the efforts of county farm agent E.
S. Millsaps, Jr., and the State Bureau
of Markets a car was brought in to
Asheboro yesterday and it is now be
ing loaded with poultry on the same
plan as used in the first carlot ship
men loaded in the county. The car
will be on the siding in Asheboro to
day and chickens may also be brought
in and loaded until noon tomorrow.
The farmers are given a statement
of the value of the chickens said at the
car and these statements are taken
to Hie Bank of Randolph where they
are being cashed.
Mr. W. C. Stady, of Philadelphia*
the purchaser, is on hand superintend
ing the loading of the car. Mr. L. C.
Salter of the State Bureau of Mar

Crary, division extension agent, ajid
county agent Millsaps are also pres
ent at the car.
There is not the rush of loading
that characterised the first car of
poultry loaded under this plan last
spring for the reason that two and a
half days are allowed for loading
whereas in the previous sale only
one day was allowed. It is anticipat
ed, however, that the car will be
loaded to capacity when it is ready to

EVOLUTION CASE
CQMESTOANEND
Scopes Coitwlcted and fined $100
—Much Agitation Over
Trijtf.iit Nation.
John Thomas Scopes, Tennessee
school teacher, bn trial for eight days
in Rhea county court, Dayton, Tenn.,
was Tuesday night found guilty of
teaching the theory of evolution in the
schools of the State in violation of the
statute prohibiting its teaching. He
was fined $100, the minimum under
the law. His Attorneys • immediately
gave notice of appeal to the Supreme
Court. Scopes was released under
$500 bond for his appearance before
the court in December when it is ex
pected that the appeal will be heard.
The trial is said to have cost the
defense $25,000, and of this amount
only $300 is for court costs.
The case has attracted nation-wide
attention. A number of prominent at
torneys have interested themselves in
the case, including Clarence Darrow,
the noted criminal lawyer of Chicago,
and William Jennings Bryan. The
discussion of the case has been at
times heated and often the attorneys
have seemed to have lost sight of the
purposes of the' trial. The only point
in question was whether Scopes had
violated the law. It was broadened
by people all over the country into
a test of whether the theory of evo
lution is right or wrong.
The agitation over evolution, agi
tated by the trial in Tennessee, has
spread to such an extent that it is
freely predicted that some form of act
dealing with the fight to teach the
doctrine of evolution in the schools of
the country will be presented to the
next Congress. Acts of this nature
will be most certain to be presented to
various State legislatures.
Poison To Cattle
Young molasses cane is very pois
onous to cattle. These young plants
contain much prussic acid. Not long
ago a farmer lost a cow from eating
cane. Not many days ago a child
died from eating huckleberry pie.
This puzzled the doctors until it was
found that the pie contained a berry
from a nightshade weed which re
sembles huckleberries.
STATE SECOND IN
SCHOOL TRUCKS
* **iir*\;f \
Ranks Next To Indiana In Num
ber of Children Transported
To and Fr'om School.
North Carolina was second among
the states of the Union in number of
pupils transported to and from ru
ral schools, at school expenses, in
1923-24, figures compiled by the
state department of education show.
The number was 48,251.
The state holding the record was
Indiana, with 98,637 pupils. But,
while Indiana spent more than any
other state for that purpose, North
Carolina was much lower, being in
eighth place. Further, the cost per
pupil was lowest in North Carolina.
It cost Alaska more than any oth
er part of the United States to trans
port on a per pupil basis, $66.25.
The highest cost per pupil in the
states was in Montana, with $55.44.
North Carolina’s pupil cost was
$13.57.
North Carolina spent in a year a
total of $654,644 for pupil trans
portation.
Randolph’s outlay for 1923-24 was
as follows:
Number of trucks used 5; number
of pupils transported 134; average
number of pupils per truck 26.8; to
tal daily mileage 60, average daily
mileage per truck 12; amount spent
for operation $996.11; per pupil cost
of operation $7.43; per mile cost of
operation $16.60; per truck cost of op
eration $199.22; received from State
to help pay expense of operation

EX-GOVERNOR ISSUES
STATEMENT ON DEFICIT
Explains that Change From One
System of Accounting to An
other Responsible.
Ex-Governor Cameron Morrison is
sued a statement Sunday with refer
ence to the State deficit of $9,438,
531.01, which he says his enemies
have charged up to his administration.
He points out that the deficit was
caused by the throwing of the gov
ernment of the State upon a cash
basis of accounting instead of the
revenue or accrual basis on which the
government has always been operat
ed.
Here is the explanation offered by
Ex-Governor Morrison of the debit
balance, which he says has unjustly
been charged to his tenure of office:
First deduct the $710,000 educational
deficit which he inherited from the
Bickett administration. The remain
der is then subject to a credit of the
taxes for 1925 which had accrued up
to June 30th. These he calculates at
$6,200,000. This cuts the debit bal
ance to $2,528,531.01, which, he says,
under the old accrual basis, is sub
ject to a further credit of all taxes
due and unpaid prior to June 30th.
He does not know what this amount
J of uncollected taxes would be but es
timates that they would reach a con
siderable sum.
Mr. Morrison thinks Governor Mc
j Lean has been unfair to him by not
crediting the taxes which he enumer
ates to the debit balance. The Ex
Governor is perfectly willing to bear
the blame for any deficit that may
have occurred during his administra
tion, but does not intend, he says, to
keep quiet while the deficits inherited
from former administrations are
charged to him and no credit given
for the uncollected taxes due as of
June 30th.
! Commissioners Turn
Down Trinity Road
Trinity township will not at the
present at least have a hard surface
road. A large delegation of citizens
of the township living in the special
road district in question came before
the county commssioners Thursday
of last week and asked for a special
tax levy in order to provide funds for
the construction of a hard surface
road from Archdale to Trinity. Their
request was turned down by the com
missioners. The road is already being
graded and the drainage structures
built*
The construction of the road comes
under the special road district act
passed by the last General Assembly
applying to this county, which pro
vides for the creation of special road
tax districts.
! Martha Frye Dies In High Point
Martha Young Frye, aged 4 years,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Frye,
former residents of this county, but
for the past three years residents of
High Point, died Monday morning fol
lowing an illness of only a few days.
The funeral services were conducted i
at Welch Memorial M. P. church, j
High Point, Tuesday afternoon.
Martha Young Frye was bop in
Randolph county March 27, 1921. She
was a bright and attractive child. In
addition to her parents, she is sur
vived by two small brothers.

ally from Biscoe, but for the past 12
