Branson, One Of The Foremost Educators Of The State Dies At 73. After an illness of ten days at Duke Hospital, Durham, Dr. E. C. Bran son, a foremost educator of North Carolina, died Monday night. Dr. Branson, who was in his 73rd year, was head of the department of rural social economics in the University of North Carolina, and was known as one of the nation’s foremost rural economists. Dr. Branson was bom in Morehead . City on August 6, 1861, the son of Levi and Edith (Cunningham) Bran son. He did his college work at Trin ity college and Peabody Normal Col lege for Teachers and won A. B. and A. M. degrees at both institutions. Following graduation he served as principal of the high school of Ral eigh and later as superintendent of the public schools in Wilson and in Athens, 6a. It was in Athens that he attracted the attention of the trustees of the Georgia Normal who appointed him to the faculty for one year and then in 1900 elected him president, a position he held for 12 years. During most of this time he also served as editor of “Farm and Homestead,” a magazine he founded. Before leaving North Carolina Dr. Branson had been the youngest mem ber of the famous Watauga club, a Tar Heel group to which also be longed Walter Clark, Walter Hines Page and Clarence Poe. The purpose of the dub was to find out and make known information on practical sub jects that would be of public use. Dr. Branson has written a number of college textbooks bearing on his own and other subjects and several popular volumes. “Farm Life , Abroad,” written during a year abroad on leave of absence, which is chiefly concerned with agriculture in Denmark, has been widely read. Dr. Branson’s work has long been held in high repute by. educators in the south and he gained wide recog nition, and his death is a distinct loss to the state.

Large State Total 95.686 Men Employed With Said Funds In Entire State, And Paid $750,000. In Randolph county 325 men were employed in January and paid from the relief funds. For their services they received $3,173. In our neighbor ing counties the number of men work ing were many more, with much high er payroll resulting. In Montgomery 1000 men were employed with a pay roll of $9288; in Moore, 1886 were employed, paid $7210; Chatham 1150, paid $5065; Lee 820, paid $5953; Mecklenburg, a populous county, em ployed 3600 men and paid them $38, 087; Currituck had the smallest num ber of workers with 120 recorded and *-**rsS8&t il of 95,686 ployed in North Carolina during Jan uary and paid from relief funds, ac cording to statistics released from the Governor's office of relief. More than $750,000 was paid out in wages, or approximately 65 per cent of the $1, 250,000 which was spent for all re lief purposes in the state during the month. These figures indicate that about two-thirds of the heads of destitute families in the state were working for the aid which they received. The others were given direct relief either because no one in the family was physically able to work or because there was no work available for them to do. The jobs performed by these work ers vary considerably, the reports show. Always they constituted work of one type or another which was for the public good, such as highway re pairing and beautification, school house building and repairing, street repairs and construction, etc. In many instances the work per formed by relief labor was the type of public improvement which could never have been realized except for the present emergency. Such proj ects were decided upon after thorough consideration by local public officials and always were launched only when it had been determined that the work done would be of genuine public ben efit.

An interview with Superintendent R. J. Hilker, who for. the past eight years has been head of the Asheboro city schools, gives some interesting information concerning the financial status of the school. These facts are given out for the information of the patrons and the eitisetis of the town and county who are interested. They are especially timely at present when orders have gone out to all schools in the state from state superintend ent Allen at Raleiigh to the effect that no school in tile state shall run beyond their revettfies and lax re ceipts. The figures show a possible reve nue for the use of the Asheboro school of $11,016.89, with $6,074.64 collected, and $4,942.25 uncollected. As of February. 20th, the school had a credit balance of $5,025.63 and a total payroll of $£#95.80.

Tennessee Basin Project To Mean Millions To State Fifty Million Dollars Additional Annual Income From Forest Sources Alone. Figures Are Given As To Meaning Of The Propos ed Development By Colonel J. W. Harrelson. Fifty million dollars additional an nual income from the forest resources of North Carolina is easily available. A movement in the direction of ad ditional income is within the proposal recently made by President Roosevelt for the development of the Tennessee j Basin. Col. J. W. Harrelson, director of, the North Carolina Department ofj Conservation and Development states that the basis of the proposal for the1 development of the Tennessee Basin is the result of a survey completed by the U. S. Engineers in 1928. The three major objectives of the survey as made by the Engineers were im provement of navigation, flood con trol and hydro-electric power develop ment. To these major objectives President Roosevelt has added refore station—an objective which, no doubt, will touch more closely the Individual lives of all the people than any of the other objectives. Within North Carolina lies 13.7 i per cent of the drainage area within the Tennessee Basin. Of the water, available at Muscle Shoals for power, 33 per cent is from North Carolina in normal times, and during droughts, such as was experienced in 1925, the percentage of stream flow at Muscle Shoals coming from North Carolina reached 67 per cent The survey snowed tnat it is pos sible to install turbins for about eight million H. P. and that there will be available in low water periods a mini million H. P. This pow «oat not make milady’s dress from the limb of a tree and her sheet of exquisite note paper from a twig. The development of the ceramic industry in North Carolina is held up for the lack of cheap electric power. It has been stated by those who are interested in developing the ceramic industry that such a development could be conducted if power was avail able at eight mills per K. W. hour. The proposal is to develop power slightly in excess of one-half this cost. North Carolina has an abundance of clays for every form Of ceramic work and much glass sand for the quantity of glass used commercially. This State produces more than one half the feldspar used extensively in all forms of ceramic products. Physicians Hear D. B. McCrary Discuss The Workings of Hospital Dr. J. V.
