Lacey, brought to Char lotte for the specific purpose of train in? the Young America in this de partment, is an expert in his line and be Trill be present to superintend the demonstration of the various machines, tnc's and the like. The Equipment. The department is equipped with a number of power machines including 3 planer, a band saw, a rip-saw, five tornina lathes, including . sixteen in 3rr.d;;al work benches. These benches are equipped with two vices, one at the front and the other at the end and in a drawer is a number of tools with which to properly perform their work. The lathes are set against the east wall of the main work room, the bell ing is all on the inside, protecting the boys at their work, and the tools are in racks against the wall. The rip-saw and the band-saw are also equipped with especially arrang ed guards for the protection " of the young fellows as they go about their work. ' On of the things taught the lads when they first come into the school is care in the handling of the ma chines, at the same time there is a chance that the new boy may not thor oughly understand the fact that a saw iunnir:g at a nigh rate of speed is inclined to take a thumb off, or to take bnip of a finger, and for this reason the special guard is placed about these machines. This department affords the boys of the high school the same opportunity for actual training that the girls get in the domestic science department where cooking and sewing is taught. Fatvcr.3 of the city schools, who may be especially interested in the depart ment of manual training will be wel come st the formal opening, and in fact Major Tomiinson urges all who can Icve the ir bt-s-ineess at 11 o'clock Thursday to attend. Ministerial Asso ciation Monday - The Ministerial Association. will hold its regular monthly meeting Monday, Nov. 7 at 11 o. m., in the Y. M. C. A. building, Rev. A. A. McGeachy, D. D., will address the meeting His subject will be, "Humanitarian Meas ures before the next North Carolina Legislature." All ministers t in the city and county are considered mem bers without the formality of invita tion or election. COUNTY OFFICES!) Oil SALARY SYSTEM FROM THIS 01 With the going into office Monday) of three new county commissioners will also go into effect a new spstem of pay for county officers, namely, a salary system instead of the fee sys tem, which has been in effect hereto fore. The new rule, which became a law by a vote of the people of the county, affects the clerk of the court, the register of deeds .and the sheriff. The county treasurer has been paid a salary instead of being paid on the fee system since 1900 J The new system provides that the cierK oi tne court, tne register oi deeds and the sheriff shall each re ceive a salaty of $2,750 per year. The (treasurer has been receiving that 'amount as a yearly salary since 1900. In addition to the salary of $2,750 the clerk of the court is provided with clerk and $1,500 per year Tor any ad ditional clerical help he may need. ! The sheriff and the register of deeds 'likewise are provided with an appro priation yearly of $2,250 to be ex tpended for clerical or deputy help to insure that the offices are conducted in an efficient manner. No appropriation is provided to pay an assistant to the county treas urer. He, however, is assisted by the j county auditor, who is a comparatively new officer for the county and who is paid a salary. This ofiicer also serves as clerk of the board of county com missioners, the register of deeds hav ing served in this capacity formerly. The combined salary of the three offices, clerk of the court, sheriff and ; register of deeds, together with the ap- j propriation for help, will aggregate $15,750. The cost of registration of several class of papers with the reg ister of deeds is crop lien 20 cents, chattel mortgage 15 cents, deed of con veyance of real property 75 cents, deed of trust is 90 cents, building and loan mortgage 90 cents. There are other "irregular" papers, such as the recording of papers from other coun ties, and therefore not on the regula tion forms in effect in this county that are recorded for different prices, none of them exceeding $1.25. It was much debated during the cam paign preceding the election as to sal ary fee system for county officers as to whether any good would result from the law. . The fees for registering papers in Mecklenburg county are considerably lower than those of any other county This is explained by the fact that there was a special law on this sub ject passed in 1907 for Mecklenburg county by the county's representa tives in the legislature. This was in answer, it is said, to considerable agitation at that time 'for a change to the salary system. 532 ANEW TIE MOIL DEFENSE LEAGUE BECOMING ACTIVE NEWSPAPERS ARE TOM IDEA Take care of the digestion; ior it is from this source you receive your health and strength.
