UGLY CHARGES
(Continued From First Page)
Gar Burgin at SI,OOO for his ap
pearance at Superior Court.
Warrants were sworn out for
Huntley, Burgin and Philbeck Sat
urday as the result of a story told
to Chief Charles It. Price by Bur
gin Saturday. Burgin met Philbeck
Friday, it is alleged, and contracted
with him to burn a house located on
Big Springs Avenue here, the con
sideration being $15.00. A *second
meeting was held Friday night in the
park, when Philbeck raised the a
mount to $17.50, and then went with
Burgin to show him the house to be
burned. Philbeck told Burgin that
Clarence Huntley was to pay him,
thereby bringing into the unfortunate
affair the name of an innocent man.
According to Burgin he wanted to
find out the particular house, and
"trap" Philbeck. After visiting the
house and assisting in preparations
for its burning, Burgin returned to
the business section of town and
told Philbeck that unless he would
pay him $500.00 he would tell Chief
Price. When the money was not
forth-coming he reported the matter
to Chief Price Saturday morning.
HOOVER DOES NOT
RECOGNIZE TAX PAYER
Whatever may be the great
ability of Mr. Hoover, there is one
individual whom he does not know
exists in this country, and that is
the taxpayer. He seems to think
that money comes like manna to
the children of Israel from Heaven
and not from the sweat and toil
and sacrifice of the people.
(From speech of Senator Boran
in U. S. Senate, June 18, 1919.)
An old bachelor says that women
are given to small talk in laige
quantities.
There is more true philosophy in
an inch of laughter than there is in
a yard of sarcasm.
A woman wouldn't care to be an
invalid if she couldn't talk of her
ailments.

IN. C. NOT SPENDING MUCH
i FOR EDUCATION AS NATION
Raleigh.—"How much -is too
much?" State Superintendent A.
T. Allen asked state college • sum
mer school teachers when he dis
cussed school expenditures before
them and reminded them that
North Carolina put out just half
the per capita expenditure on the
schools that is made by the whole
nation.
Dr. Allen was out there justify
ing the state. He said that North
Carolina is spending 30 times as
much today on its schools at is did
30 years agov And the ratio of in
crease is admittedly great. But at
that North Carolina is not spend
ing more than half per capita that
the nation expends. The nation
puts $lB into schools, North Car
olina $9. He was not . dogmatic
about this whether he and his de
partment should not call for fur
ther sacrifice in order to meet the
standards of other states. Dr. Al
len continued:
"To answer the expenditure of
money in our public schools sys
tem, the question of the state's
ability to pay what is accomplish
ed with the money and whether it
will tax the resources too much,
arise. North Carolina has made
unusual progress in education, but
this is typical over the United
States.
"The expenditure on pu-olic edu
cation in North Carolina is being
scrutinized by the public as never
before," the speaker continued.
"Different critics take different
attitudes. The opinion of these
groups is divided in three classes.
There is the bad bargain group
who think we are able to pay, but
are not getting our money's worth.
They demand we turn out a better
product or lower the price, but we
can't expect to find the best over
a bargain counter.
"Then there is the 'over-bought',
group who think education is too
costly and that the firms can't
bear the burden. They say we are
headed for bankruptcy. But when
w-. only spend 2 1 / & per cent, for
education of children out of our
ertire state income can't the 97
per cent remaining take care of
!he rest? I don't think the former
will land us in the poor house.
"There is still another group,"
said Dr. Allen, "who think there is
b.r. 'excuse opportunity' beyond the
reed Of the people, and that the op
portunity is costing too much. This
group would have the schools stop
fed in the sixth grade. They want
tc modify the course of study and
stick to the old 'readm, 'ntin, and
'lithmetic' idea,
"North Carolina has seen other
erisises and has successfully met
•nem. Her people are slow .0
start but don't quit. My faith
makes me believe that we will con
tinue in the future as we have in
the past."

All enjoyed the day very much.
A feature of the day was the great
dinner which was spread on the long
table in the yard. After dinner the
number present from each family
was obtained by heads of each fam
ily reporting the number of child
ren in each family. No deaths in the
family in the past year was reported.
We expect to make this an annual
affair as long as Mr. and Mrs. Car
roll shall live.
May See Body Of
Abraham Lincoln.
Springfield, 111,, July 29.—Plans'
are under consideration here for the
excavation of the casket containing
the body of Abraham Lincoln from
beneath his tomb and of placing the
remains in a sarcophagus in the
open vifffr of the public so that
a more real sentiment may be at
tached to the annual pilgrimages
here of many thousands of Lin
coln devotees.
The plan has been encouraged
by Herbert Wells Fay, custodian
of the tomb, and numerous stu
dents of Lincoln in all parts of
the world.
"I believe the time will come
when public sentiment will de
mand'that the body of Mr. Lin
coln be placed in a sarcophagus
fcr public view," Fay said. "Per
sons from all parts of the country
who visit the tomb, have frequently
voiced that opinion."
Lincoln's body at present is en
, cased in a bed of concrete ten
feet beneath the tomb which tow
ers over Oak Ridge cemetery atop
a high hill.
The coffin, containing Lincoln's
body, was placed in a steel cage,
which in turn was blocked off in
concrete, because of a fear some
years ago that an attempt. might
be made to steal the Civil War
pi esident s remains. An unsuc
cessful raid was frustrated many
yea,rs ago.
Workmen are now employed in
| remodeling the tomb and the empty
sarcophagus in which it has been
suggested that Lincoln's body be plac
ed has been removed Irom its show
place to an adjoining lawn.
It is proposed to spend $175 -
000 in the remodeling and make
| the tomb one of the world's beau- "
ty spots as well as having it
ntted into an appropriate Lincoln
Shrine.
Originally the plan did not)
provide for distributing "Old Abe's",
body but now thst it been sug-1
gested by Fay it is possible that;
some action toward its excavation !
from beneath the tomb and the j
placing of it in a sarcophagus in a j
spot where it may be viewed by the \
public, may be taken*., . ;
