The outfit was just going good Srhen the officers found it. The fire about the still had been started long enough to bring the contents of the copper outfit to the boiling point when the business was interrupted. In ad dition to the still itself and all its accessories, the officers found 2600 gallons of beer stored in hogsheads and Coca-Cola barrels, 1,000 feet of rubber tubing, and barrels, kegs and other whiskey containers galore.

A board of appraisers is to be appointed to assess a fair valua tion of the land so condemned for school purposes. Delegations from Shiloh, Bethel, Coleridge and other districts in the Coleridge vicinity came before the board to petition for the building of a consolidated school house somewhere in the community. The board was compelled to turn down the petition for the reason that there is no money available for such building. The del egations were promised that their section would have attention when funds were at hand to do the neces sary work. The board decided to give notice for receiving bids on the school build ings at Liberty and Ramseur for the colored race on March 1st. These two school houses will be erected through loans from the State literary fund and donations from the Rosenwald fund. A representative of the Rosen wald fund is expected in the county soon to take up the matter with the school authorities.

The Lexington Dispatch quotes Woodrow McKay, Lexington Ford dealer, as stating that the new Ford brakes are not contrary to the North Carolina statutes, and that State au thorities will not make Ford change the brakes on his new car. At least six other makes of automobiles, using four-wheel brakes, have the same system as the new Fords, according to Mr. McKay. The State can’t make Ford change brakes on his new car unless he requires the same of others. The former brake style, before ad vent of the four-wheel brake, required that in addition to the regular foot brake that a car be provided with an emergency brake. This emergency braking has been done with a sepa rate appliance. In-the new Ford mod els the entire braking system is done with the foot lever, but the four wheel brakes used, it is said, are as fully effective for quick stopping as the old emergency brakes and can be applied more quickly.

Are Mexican quail more elusive than the native species? Local huatera are not Informed In this particular, but *91 have opportun ity to tell yon aH about it next season. E. D. Cranford; member of the State Game Commission, ad vises that a shipment of 4,000 quail is on the way from Mexico and will be released in North Carolina. One thousand of these birds will be brought to Asheboro to be liberat ed in Randolph and adjoining coun ties. Local farmers and hunters will anxiously watch the experi ment. There has been a great deal of complaint in recent years that the quail population of Randolph is thinning out. Hunters are unable to find many of the elusive little game bird, while farmers report very few coveys on their farms. Quail are recognized as one of the best of the farmer’s feathered friends and they are more con cerned over the life of this species of wild life than over any other. Mexican quail should prove a most welcome addition to the wild life in the county. 2 New Boy Scout Troops Formed In Asheboro lately One Is At M. P.

The Chapel Hill profes sor spoke of the great development of [physical science and the ' material [progress in the wprW in the past two hundred years, and especially in the past fifty years. He gave concrete examples of this material growth as evidenced by new inventions and dis coveries, and named several of them and how they had revolutionized con ditions in the country.

C. Grimes To Hold Down His Two Jobs Whether W. C. Grimes can hold an elective office as member of the board of commissioners for Ran* dolph county and at the same time hold down the job as superintend ent of the State game farm and stay within the law is a matter that the Attorney-General will have to decide. Nobody doubts Mr. Grimes' ability to perform the dei ties required by the two jobs and to stay within the law as far as he is personally concerned while at his work, but whether the statutes will permit him to hold two jobs, one elective and the other appoint ive, is another matter. So County Attorney-1. C. Moser has put the matter up to Attorney General Brummitt.
