ADULT ILLITERATE SCHOOLS PLANNED Supt. Allen Explains What Is Necessary To Establish Schools For Adults By M. R. Dunnagan Raleigh, Feb.OO. After a hectic struggle for two or three weeks, the sub-committee of the joint finance committee Monday afternoon report ed to the full joint committee a com pleted revenue measure, which, con tains either a general sales tax, or a luxury tax the eight months State supported school term, and, probably abolishing all except a few of the lar ger special tax school districts. With this prospect, it is expected that the measure, whatever its provi sions wil reach the floor of the Gen eral Assembly some time this week and will have a week or more or con sideration by the two houses. Few people now expect a hang up such as experienced two years ago. If the general sales tax, or a tax that par takes of some of the properties of the general, luxury, selected commodity, production, or gross sales tax, it will be oposed, strenously. Secretary Will ard L. Dowell, of the State merchants says of the general sales tax: "It shall not pass." Many legislators have the same view, and will fight it out. But many normally opposed to a sales tax, have come to believe itt necessary to bal ance the budget and will support it, at leastt finally, as an emergency meas ure. It now seems that a sales tax, more likely one of the general sales type, will be proposed, with belief that it will be enacted after the bat tle. Restlesnes3 of members began to show itself in the seventh week. Earlier the two houses would meet and dispose of the few bills that had come irom tne comimttees m hour. The past week has shown speeding up of committee work suiting in more bills for floor action. Facing a calendar of 25 bills, the House held its firstt night meeting Friday night, except the Monday night sesisons. The senate met one day, reached a calendar with 15 or 20 bills and adjourned to eat. Both sides are now getting down to floor work. Sometimes they do things has tily and have to retract. Usually they are'making progress slowly and care fully, but making progress just the same. Bills Introduced Number850 Bills introduced during the session reached about 850 last week, the week's introductions numbering about 125, 35 in the Senate and 90 in the House. House bills so far number about 615 and Senate bills near 250. But most of them are born to die. So far only 160 bills have been rat ified, 48 Senate and 112 House bills. The past week saw many local bills complete the round and become laws, to the number of 44, while only seven public bills finished the course last week. The number of ratified meas ures will increase from now on, while the new bills introduced will diminsh rapidly. ! One resolution W23 adopted last week, requesting the U. S. Congress to Tefrain from further invasion of sources of taxation heretofore left to an a re- The purpose of employing a limited number of teachers, men and women, who are regularly certificated, with ample experience, who are unemploy ed but who are in dire need of assis tance, and for the purpose of provid ing aditional advantages for adult il literates or near-illiterates tor a per iod of ten weeks, schools for such il literates or near-illiterates may be established with the approval of the County Superintendent of Schools to operate on the following basis: Teachers who are appointed will be investigated and selected by the County Superintendent of Public In struction and the Superintendent of Public Welfare.

Cmint.v Snhola will f "Tfc & have an eight months term this spring, acorcding to a letter going out to teachers from County Superin tendent J. C. Allen under the date of February 21st, giving a careful tabu lation of the teachers' votes on that question. The meeting called by Supt. Allen on February 18th was only to discuss the feasibility and practicality of an Extended Term during, the present sesion, Mr. Allen having sta ted at the beginning of the meeting that the poll would be taken at a la ter date and only after the teachers had had an opportunity of giving the matter mature consideration, with the facts fully before them. Supt. Allen's letter and tabulation follow: "The citizenship of Carteret Coun ty should be truly grateful that their teachers have, after mature delibera tion, overwhelmingly decreed that the children of Carteret County shall have the advantages of an Extended Term this Spring and that plans go forward accordingly. "You will find below a tabulation of the vote. Your ballot will be re turned to you at the end of the term. 17" Jiinnfi'Mi na ...... y V.uuuvativu as vulii employer, an your co-worker, would find it Vxicult to voice ade quately the profound pride we feel in having in our schools, in so large num bers, men and women who have again, and so clearly, demonstrated those high ideals of service that shall de termine the future of the profusions, both in Carteret County and through out North Carolina. "And now what is there that we can do to match your zeal or to make you happier in your work?" From the tabulation it will be noted that 78 per cent of the teachers felt that it would be best, under existing circumstances, to teach the Extended d Term-- however, that 94 per cent of the teachers agreed to remain at their posts of duty. Sixteen per cent thought it unwise to teach the extend ed Term howver, hat 94 per cent of the teachers agreed to remain at their posts of duty. Sixteen per cent thought it unwise to teach the ex tended term with only 6 per cent withholding assurance of their contin uous service through the 8th month of the present sesion.

Gurney P. Hood. For instance, six kinds of bank de posits showed an increase, some of them slight, over deposits of three months before. Demand deposits due banks are less than $100,000 great er; deposits subject to check are nearly $3,000,000 more; deposits due public officials are nearly $2,000,000 greatter; deposits secured by pledge of assets are a million dollars more; time certificates of deposit are more by about $100,000, ,and, stranger probably, savings deposits showed an increase of nearly half a million dol lars, over three months before. One bank was lost in the three months, the number at the end of the year having been 295, with 80 bran ches. Total resources increased from $207,701,291 to $212,156,021. Loans and discounts dropped about $3,500, 000, while overdrafts almost disap peared, dropping two-thirds. U. S. bonds increased more than one and a half millions; N. C. bond3 increased nearly two millions; county and mun icipal bonds went up nearly two- thirds of a million, while other stocks and bonds dropped more than a mil lion, mount due from Federal Reserve Bank was a million and a half more due from approved depositories in creased three millions, and cash in vault showed a slight increase. While capital stock, surplus and un divided profits each showed a slight decrease, reserves increased nearly a million dollars and bills payable were almost 2,000,000 less. These figures and others in the report give some slight ground for hope, it is believed.

Zangara may yet be tried for mur der. His pleas today did not cover the cases of Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago and Mrs. Joe H. Gill of Mi ami, who are fighting for their lives in a hospital here. After the sentence was pronounced Zangara said: "Judge, how much you give me?" Zangara held up his fingers eight of them. "Yes" said the Judge. "Oh, judge, don'tt be stingy. Four times twenty is eighty. Give me a hundred years. He laughed as he wa3 hastily led from the court by two deputies. He was taken back to the Dade county jail. Zangara was sentenced after he pleaded guilty to the four charges and after he had reiterated to the Judge his regrets thatt his attempt on the life of President-elect Roose velt was unsuccessful. The most cheering news since they were shot came from the bedsides of both Mayor Cermak and Mrs. Gill. Dr. Frederick Tice, Chicago heart specialist, who arived only this morn ing and went immediately into con sultation with the attending physic ians, said: "I believe we may look for ward to the full recovery of the May or." Mrs. Gill's husband said her re covery "is just as rapid as we could expect. Today's condition is very en couraging."

Hobbs stoped the truck and gave chase, firing twice at the ground to scare the man in an endeavor to make him stop. But the colored man's "ankle express" was so fast that he escaped. Later the convict turned up at the court house and gave himself up to Deputy Sheriff R. E. Chaplain.

Mathis Cafe Moved To Newer Location Mathis Cafe was moved early this week to the new and more modernly equipped quarters in the Way Build ing alongside of Bell's Drug Store. It is now better situated in respect to the center of trading in the down town section of Beaufort.

This is much better ar ranged and equipped than any of the former locations the cafe has occu pied in the past. L. T.
