ONCE UPON Dec. 4TH Exactly 150 years ago today, Rufus Putnam’s party of 24 New England farmers and artisans left Ipswich, Conn., to push their way over the Al leghanies to the new frontier, the Val ley of the Ohio. In April they were to reach the junc tion of the Ohio and the Muskingum rivers, and to establish the first per manent settlement in the Northwest territory. They named it Marietta, in honor of Queen Marie Antoinette of France. Today, in a reenactment of that his toric journey, make-believe pioneers are to start from Ipswich and retrace the trail of Putnam’s brave band. 1918 —'President Wilson sailed for Europe to attend the so-called peace conference at Versailles, on the third anniversary of the departure of the Henry Ford peace mission to Europe. 1936 —'Premier Stanley Baldwin seal ed Edward VIII’s fate by announcing that the king could not legally con tract a morganatic marriage.

The office of sheriff since 1829 ha- been filled by popular vote. The constitution of North Carolina pro vides that the sheriff’s term shall be two years. The office is practicallv independent of the county commis sioners. It is more under the control of the superior court judge who may remove the sheriff for cause. The coroner is the only county officer who has authority to arrest a sheriff. 2. Augustus S. Merrimen, who ser ved one six-year term, which ended in 1879. He was not a candidate to succeed himself and Vance was elect 3. One writer who published an open Istter to the legislature said that it was doubtful if schools were “pro ductive of much real benefit. Would it not redound as much to the ad vantage of young persons, and to the honor of the State, if they should pass their days in the cotton patch, or at the plow, or in the cornfield, instead of being mewed up in a school house, where they are earning nothing.” 4.

In some cases constables have been jailed for refusing to serve. 5. Beaufort, Craven, Currituck, Halifax, Martin, New Hanover, On slow, Pasquotank, Pitt and Wilson. 6.

Presi dent Wilson’s message was a restate ment of war aims which did not jibe with secret agreements the Allies had made concerning what they would do if they won the war. He knew of the agreements but wasn’t sharing his knowledge with the people who were fighting and paying for the war. Next day, the president advised that war be declared on Austria-Hungary. Same day, Gen. Dukhonin, com mander-in-chief of the Russian armies when the Reds came in power, was killed by being thrown from a train. ANSWERS TO TEN QUESTIONS See Back Page 1. Ph.D. 2. 1865. 3.

Reports have come to me in the last few weeks concerning rumors go ing the rounds in Vance, Warren and Franklin counties that I was recently arrested, tried and jailed in Hender son on charges of mis-conduct unbe coming to a minister. I deny these rumors and brand them as false and untrue, and ask the good people in the communities where I preach to be lieve me when I say that I am inno cent of any wrong doing, and that I have never been arrested, tried nor jailed in Henderson or any other place in my whole life. I invite those who are circulating these rumors against me and all others who may be inter ested to inquire of the clerk of the court, any judge, sheriff or officer of the law in Vance county if I have ever been arrested, charged or tried for anything in Vance county. I beg you to ask them and find out for your self that my record is clean and that I am telling you the whole truth. REV. J. W. BURWELL, Colored Minister. Henderson, Dec. 4, 1937. 1937 Boom In Building Over State Dnily UlNiifltch llureitii. In the *>ilr Wnlter Hotel. Raleigh, Dec. ? —North Carolina has enjoyed a substantial building boom for the first ten months of this year. Figures in the Department of Labor show that through October 31 building operations of all types in 21 cities of more than 10,000 inhabitants increas ed more than one-fourth over the cor responding period of 1936. And in the matter of new resident ial construction the increase was even more substantial, reaching slightly more than one-third. For alterations and repairs the in crease in expenditures was greater still, reaching 36 per cent. In the matter of projects undertak en only residential construction show- THE SHOPPING SEASON! ed an increase, as business construc tion and repairs projects totalled sub stantially less than in the first ten months of 1936. Residential projects through Octob er 31, 1937, totalled 1,848, costing $7,- 031,854 against 1,579 projects to cost $5,253,242 in the corresponding period of 1936. In non-residential, or business, con struction there were 879 projects in 1937 against 906, but this year’s cost $4,255,792 as compared with $3,910,446 in 1936, and increase in cost of 8.8 per cent. The 3,339 repair and alteration pro jects in the first ten months of this year called for the expenditure of $3,- 349,241, against $2,462,790 spent on 3,- 917 projects for the first ten months of 1936. The grand total cost of this year’s first ten-month building of all sorts was $14,636,887 or 5,866 projects com pared with $11,626,478 spent on 6,402 projects between January 1 and Oc tober PI, 1936. Figures for November of this year are unavailable yet, but are expected to compare favorably with those of the penultimate month of 1936. 21 Armories Are BiVlt for State i Continued from Page one.) sign with the exception of the one at Durhami The armories are, of course, primar ily designed to quarter local units of the National Guard, but they have been so constructed as to lend them selves to a variety of uses. In their construction a total of $677,- 000 was spent by the Works Progress Administration and $229,000 by local governmental bodies, making the en tire cpst $906,000. Construction provided work oppor tunities for the needy unemployed. They are owned by the various cit ies or by a combination of city and county, and so they will be available for civic and social affairs of all sorts, as well as for housing and drilling units of the North Carolina National Guard. Dancing and assembling feet will be heard in them iust about as often as will marching feet of soldiers.
