Wlhen did the per diem of the members of the legislature amount to more than all other State expense? 3.

Through increased revenues re ceipts and above estimates the reduc tion of maintenance allowances, and the suspension of ifew road construc tion. 2. This was the case up to about 1835. There were no public schools, or institutions, except the University, and no appropriations were made for that. 3. The census of 1930 reported a total of 305,755. 4.

If you were exiled from America, would you be content as a resident of Ethiopia? Now, it seems to me that America certainly has ample room for an addi tional 12,500 inhabitants. It better have, considering the present birth and deathftrates in America. On the other hand, England could take in 6,250 and America the other 6,250; or, better still, it could be made purely optional as to which country the refugees desire to enter, America or England.

BOW LONG WILL THIS RESOLUTION LAST? Grits and Gravel.... By T. MOSES JONES At the last writing, I mentioned the meeting of the Young Men’s Business Club but failed to tell how most much ly I was completely demoralized, em barrassed, and my already poor musi cal reputation was almost annihilated “The Star Spangled Banner” was an nounced to be sung, and I had to acknowledge to Fresident Webb that I could not play said national an them. Shame on me! So when I did ; get back home I banged on the tune of “The Star Spangled Banner” until bed-time, and announced to president Webb early next morning that I had learned the requested tune in some kind of pass able manner. If I had been called on to try to play the Cuban national song I could have made a fair excuse at banging away on that. About twenty five or thirty years ago Uncle Rhodes and Aunt Lula went to Cuba on a va cation. It was the 1 time when Maria and Ampara Treveho, those two beau tiful Cuban sisters, attended school at Littleton College, And before them Rosina Morena to that college. When Aunt Lula returned, she play ed that song on the piano until I learned it by ear. What do you school children think of our national an them? There has been lots of talk about it. The famous Tune Detective on the radio, and also other famous musicians have discussed it much. Do you, or don’t you think it is easy or hard to sing, and what percent of the school children can sing it from memory? And now let me ask this question, “What four well-known and promi nent Henderson ladies were sitting in their car over in Oxford on this j past Friday afternoon, eating weenies just as though they had been on a hunger strike for the preceeding two weeks?” Well, I’ll let you guess. t T.

DARE COUNTY PLANS VINEYARD /CULTURE Manteo, Jan. 9. —Dare county, sup posedly the original home of the scup pernong grape, may soon turn idle acres and backyards into profitable vineyards, declared C, W.

PEACH ORCHARDS ARE INCREASING College Station, Raleigh, J.an. 9. — An increase in the plantings of small peach orchards, especially in com munities' distant from the large trad ing centers of the State, is noted by H. R. Niswonger, horticulturist of the State College Extension Service. These orchards range in size from one to five acres, and most of them ere being planted by cotton farmers who feel there is local demand for this fruit. They also supplement oth er small orchards in communities, enabling truckers to profitably visit the ureas. Dorothy Dix says no woman wants to marry a perfect man.
