SHERRILL, Editor and Publisher • STATE BONDS WILL BE OFFERED FOR SALE SOON 1 Bonds Valued at $20,000,000 to Be Sold By State on April 25th. Raleigh. April 11. —High serial bonds amounted to $20,000,000. of It he recently authorized $.’{0,000,000 i isKtie of IJ>27. will be offered for sale by the state of North Carolina lon April 25. in the office of State Treasurer Ben R. Lacy, and adver ! iisements to this effect are appear ing in eighteen daily newspapers over the state Sunday or Monday , and again on .April 20. The bonds are a. o to be advertised in two New York bond journals, and in the Manufacturers’ Record, Baltimore. "But we are hoping that at lea<st a large part of thin S2t).OOO.tXK) is i sue will be purchased within the state." ►mid Mr. Lacy, and i< the main reason we are advertising the issue *0 extensively in the etate it l 1 self, in the hope that North Carolina : banks and bankers may secure a part or all of the bond offering. The ; fact that these bomb* are tax-free within the state should make these bomb* unusually desirable for North Carolina investor**. "Frequently in the past, wc have received letters from baukes or bank ers in the state desiring to purchase a portion of bond issue, .but usually after the issue has been **old. Then another thing that stands in the way of telling these bonds within the. etate. is that almost always, the big New York bond bouses bid on the entire issue, or will not bid at all. I have frequently asked them to exempt a portion of the bonds for 1 North Carolina investor**, but they will not do thit. "The result has been that since the state always need the money, it is forced to t>ell the entire blocks of bonds offered to the loweet bidders. : who generally are the eastern buv ; ere. by advertising this issue e\- I tensively in the state between now and April 25. when they are to be j sold, we hope that a syndicate may ibe formed in North Caro ina to take up the entire i**sue of $20,000,000," Air. Lacy eaid. » Under the terms’ specified for this sale, bidders will be required to name an interest rate not exceeding 4 1-2 per cent, and in a multiple of I one fourth of one percent. The bonds hare been approved by Chester B. Masslich, New York Bond attorney. A circular describing the bo rule 1n detail is being prepared by Mr. Lacy, and will be mailed by him to any who request it.

MAKE TEST CASE ON COUNTY FINANCE ACT Com Will Come as Soon as Some County Seeks to Issue Bonds Under New Law. .Raleigh, April 11.—The test suit to determine the validity of the county finance act—it has been decided not to include either the municipal finance act or the permanent appropriations act —will be brought as soon as a county makes a move to sell bonds under the act, it has been announced by Assistant Attorney General Frank Nash. And since Wake county is soon to market some bonds, undttr the new finance act, it may be that the test case will be brought here in Wake 1 though Mr. Nash would not confirm ‘this. ; It was decided definitely to .abatukm #4he plan to bring an injunction milt | against the secretary of ■state, to pre i vent the distribution of the public I laws, in order to secure a test of (he ! acts which has been questioned by j Chester B. Masslich, New York bond ; nttorney, after a conference between Governor McLean and Mr. Nash, fol , lowing the return of Governor Me j Lean from New York. The governor agreed with Mr. Nash that neither the municipal finance act nor the per manent appropriations acts were in | any way affected, as Masslich thought, 1 and that the county finance act was j the only one concerning which there ! might he a question raised. They further decided, however, that I instead of bringing au injunction suit that might tie up the diatribution of the public laws indefinitely, that it would be better to teat the county | fiuanee act through the regular ehan ! nels when some county should attempt to sell its bonds under the act. And this procedure will be followed. In the meantime, partly as a re sult of the threatened injunction, work has been rushed on the printing aud binding of the public laws which is being done in Charlotte, and it ie ex pected that 400 copies will be ready for distribution to Superior Court I judge** and clerks of court today. It 1 is thought all of the 5,00 volumes will be ready by April 15th.

Shelby, April 9.—With another day gone no new developments have come up in the somewhat mysterious death some time Thursday night of Harri son Ilamseur, young insurance sales man and former Duke * university freshman, whose body was found ou a lonely road near Shelby Friday morning. The funeral services will be con ducted here Sunday following the ar rival of a sister from Chicago and brother from I>etroit. Officers and friends interested in probing the death of thp . popular young fellow, have located no new clues with a definite bearing. The few new things that have developed are for the most part mere supposition and theories, none shedding light on what transpired during the v hours of Thursday night when young Ramseur met. death. The young teacher to whom the love note was addressed is spending the week-end at her home, having planned to do so previous to the tragic event. It is said by close friends of the young lady that she stated that words of love had never passed between her and the young man and she with others feels at a loss to account for a moody theory based on unrequited love. Judge B. T. Falls, an uncle of the youth, and members of the family to day expressed themselves as of the strengthened opinion that there was foul play in the death. The presence of the love note on the body is ex plained by some supporting the mur der theory as a "blind.” This theory is supported in one incident—the en velope containing the letter did not. cnrry the girl’s full name, her given name being omitted, and there are those who think the youth, had he written it, would have’written the full name. Likewise fhote close to the farngly say that the hoy, unusually fond of his mother, would have left a note for her had such been in tentioual. Nothing direct in connection with the empty can of ether can be learned. Physicians say the boy could not have taken it himself.
