Unusual Animal Exhibited In Asheboro On July 4th Attracting attention in Asheboro is an unusual animal, which is being dis played on Fayetteville street in the vacant lot by the Ashlyn Hotel. The animal, which resembles a two-toed sloth, only it has three toes on the hind feet, hangs continuously from a rod in cage, except on the few occas ions when it has been turned out on the grass. Then it rolls itself in a ball, rolling to the desired spot in stead of walking. The head resembles a sea Hon, the body like a bear, no ears, no toil, and has claws like an eagle. Carrots and bananas are hung for it to "nibble on” which it does at night, for day-time is the favorite t<m« to sleep. The animal hails from South America and on account of its strangeness is attracting interested crowds of children as well as grown ups.

The committee, after discussing the matter thoroughly and going into every angle of it, decided that the best way to finance the hospital would be for the city of Asheboro to issue bonds in the amount of $25,000, and then let individuals in the county furnish the other $25,000 necessary to complete the $50,000 which the county i would have to provide in older to es-, tablish tiie hospital.

Trying To Induce “Best People” To Leave Off Liquor Drinking In High Society Said To Be Big ProMem Of Pro hibition Enforcement. (By David F. St. Clair) : Washington, D. C.t July 1.—What are known as the "high society” and educational problems of prohibition are now being tackled. The drya be lieve the movement will score leaps and bounds in progress if the so-call ed "best people” can be induced to give dp cocktails and the serving of wine at fashion's dinners. But it has been hard to get the great social lead ers to break the ice. Notwithstanding prohibition has been in the constitu tion and the Federal statutes for ten years the habit of drink among that .class one of whose chief pleasures is to eat and drink, is as widespread as it ever was. It is that class that has ever was. It is that class that has made rich and powerful the big boot leggers and has made the problem of enforcing prohibition so difficult for the government. - j The wet' organisations get their money from that dam of drinkers. The most of that class is by habits of thinking and conduct Republicans and (President Hoover in his inaugural ad dress appealed to them to support law and help him uphold the constitution but they have been slow to respond publicly for the reason that men and women of that class are intensely afraid of provoking the ridicule of their caste. A striking illustration of such fear was presented a day or so ago when a Mrs. Strawbridge, a woman moving in a high social sphere in Philadelphia came to Washington and gave out a statement that she had written nearly 2,000 letters to society women in her city appealing to them to discontinue serving liquor at meals and other so cial functions in their homes. More than a thousand of them replied and a majority of the writers agreed to h»Tilgh wine from their tables and sideboards but in every instance their names must be kept out of the news papers.

The school budget covering the op erations of the public schools of Ran dolph county for the year 1929-30 was I adopted by the board of education in [ meeting Monday in the office of T. Fletcher Bulla, county superintendent of schools. This budget calls for an expenditure during the next scholas tic year of $254,161.70, which is an in crease of $3,148.92 over last year’s budget, which was $251,012.78. This budget is made up of $215,497.32 for current expense, $3,000 for capital outlay and $35,664.38 for debt service, which is for interest on indebtedness and payments on principal of out standing bonds and notes issued for school purposes. Provided the board of county com , missioners accept the budget present ed by the board of education, the county must provide by taxation a total of $159,022.50. This amount is arrived at in this manner. The State equalizing fund furnishes $77,547.54 for the 1929-30 school year, and the State furnishes also $2,091.66 for vo cational agriculture instruction at Farmer school. Receipts from poll tax next year are estimated at $7,000, and from dog tax, $3,500. Fines dur ing the year, it is estimated, will reach $5,Q00. These items make a to tal of $95,139.20, which subtracted from the budget total leaves the sum of $159,022.50. 27 rewer leacnen ’ The budget for 1929-30 anticipates 239 teachers, or 27 less than last . school year. These 239 teachers will be paid salaries, according to the budget, reaching a total of $170, 252.32. This includes all elementary and high school teachers, vocational agriculture teachers and teachers in ,the Aaheboro city schools for a period of six months.
