The prisoners in the Vance county camp have organized a night school, with some of the bet) ter educated prisoners volunteering as teachers, and have asked permission to carry on this school, Whitley said.

Raleigh, April 3.-Historic old Foil Macon, which for centuries has been the site of fortifications guarding tht» territory near Beaufort and Moreheau City against attacks from the sea, will oe developed into what gives promise of being one of the greatest recrear tional attractions in North Carolina, under plans being worked out by the Department of Conservation and Dev eiopment and the National Park Ser> vice. A Civilian Conservation Corps camp has been allotted for the project and it is expected to be established by the middle of April with possiblf an advanced detachment sent to the site within a few days, according to in formation just received by State Foi ester J. S. Holmes. Although official notification has not been receifed to this effect., it is believed that the camp now station ed at Stantonsburg will be moved to Fort Macon. The fort property, consisting of some 412 acres, was granted to the State of North Carolina in 1924 by act of Congress, and has been admin istered by the Department of Conser vation and Development as a State Park since that time. Plans for improvement include the restoration of the massive old fort, he completion of a motor road from the beach terminus of the cause-way across Bogue Sound from Morehead City, and control of drifting sands as the first step in reforestation of that portion of “the 'banks.” The road.

MAXWELL DEFENDS Speech At Chapel Hill Look, ed Upon As Reply To Reactionaries Dully Dl iMiteh Ifiirenn, In the Sir \V .Iter Hotel. IIV J. C. BASKEII V 11,1, Raleigh. April 3.—The many advan tages which the proposed new State Constitution as worked out by the 1933 General Assembly and the State Constitutional Commis.- on, which will be submitted to a vote of the people for adoption or reject on in the No vember election this fill, were point ed out by Commissio er of Revenue A. J. Maxwell, in a talk before thb University of North Carolina Law •School in Chapel Hil last night. Mr. Maxwell was a member of the Com mission which drew up the original draft of the new constitution which was submitted to the 1933 General As sembly and which was not changed materially by that b-xdy. For some weeks now there has been an increasing interest in the new con stitution and the opponents of its adoption, regarded as belonging to the reactionary and ultra - conservative wing of the Democratic party, under the leadership of Attorney General Dennis G. Brummitt and former Lie utenant, Governor R. T. Fountain, have ibeen carrying on a more and more intensive campaign against it. While Mr Maxwe.l did not refer to any one by name nor to the campaign a gainst the new document, his address is regarded as a reply to some of the changes that have been made con cerning it. “It is true that the proposed con stitution does not rely upon arbitrary constitutional provisions to fix tax rates. This method of tax protection has been found in our own expert ence to be wholly unreliable and un workable,” Mr. Maxwell said.
