Hickory, July 12. The Hickory
postoffice contest, which started off
with four candidates in the field, has
now simmered down to a race between
R. L. Hefner, assistant postmaster
an.d Herbert H. Miller, city ticket
agent, who is said to have the backing
of the local Republican organization.
William H. Barkley, the most active
Republican in these parts, has retired
from the contest, the financial induce
ment not interesting him, and Horace
H. Abee, another loc' 'eader, also has
stepped aside.
Newport News, Va., July 14. A
large delegation of negroes left here
today for Norfolk, instructed to de
mand representation at the republican
state convention. "We are going to get.
a voice in the councils of the party or
we are going to put a negro candi
date in the field for governor," said I.
' Thomas Newsome, who with John Pol
lard of Richmand, is leading the fight
against the "lily whites."
Lynchburg, Va., July 11. Fred O.
Shaner, father of 19 children, 18 of
whom are living, has, he says, run out
of names and he is asking his friends
here to suggest a name for the last,
a two-months-old boy. The eighteenth
child was named Thomas Jefferson by
former President Wilson at Mr.
Shaw's request two years ago.
Standing among the coffins remains

Gen. Pershing, their commander, de
clared: "They fought for eternal right
and -'ustice, as did the founders of this
great republic. The freedom of man
kind was their battlecry. I saw them
go forward wearied of body, yet in
trepid, resolute and cheerful of spirit.
Scornful of danger, they advance!
with undaunted courage to save a
well-nigh lost cause. Only those who
fought with them can ever know the
heights of religious devotion and pa
triotism to which they rose."
Raleigh, July 14. Fire chiefs in
the cities and towns of North Caro

missioner Stacey W. Wade to report

levied up to the bill and had no mon
ey to spare. This year, with values
reduced by half, and no further rope
in the way of a tax rate, the County
Commissioners see nowhere to go but
to Revaluation.
Up Against Rate Limit.
Fifteen cents is as high as the
county may levy for general expenses
and Greene levid aprroximately that
much last year and was not too free
from financial cramps. Thirty cents
is the limit for school purposes, and
Greene levied that much last year
and had no surplus left over. And
On top of that, Greene wanted prop
erty values lowered and the Revenue
Commission did not put any hindrance
in the way of their desires, v;
Week before last the Greene com
missioners got Superintendent E. C
Brooks' letter about raising as much
money this year as was raised last
year for school purposes, regardless
of how the property values had been
altered. Greene had already raisd as
much as it could under the legal rate
of taxation, and could have used more.
No higher rate can be levied, and
with values cut half in two, the
school fund and the general expense
fund this year will shrink according
ly-
Similar tales are beginning to
reach Raleiirh from other sections of
the State, praeticularly since the
Brooks letter was sent out advertising
the county authorities that school
monies must be kept up to the stand
ard set by the State Board of Edu
cation. The state school fund fell
short nearly seven hundred thousand
dollars during the past year, and the
General Assembly provided only
$600,000 to be used as an equalizing
fund this year.
School Fund Weries.
This latter fund will go not far to
ward making up for such reductions
as impend in the school funds in
Greene and other counties which cut
their values so sharply when the
bars were lowered by the General
Assembly. The counties apparently
realize that they must look to them
selves for the major portion of the

vear. Other funds are materially di
minished, and no way has seen lounn
for reducing the cost of county gov
ernment, or elimenating any of the
demands that are made upon them.
Hich revenues and not high val
uations appear to be the basis of the
trouble that confront many of the
counties. Greene for instances, naii d
valuation of $20,010,092, which yeild
ed a school income of approximately
$50,000 and a general purpose fund
of $30,000 last year. The twenty mil
lian cut to ten million also cuts the
income square in the middle, leaving
only $15,000 for general purposes and
$30,000 for schools
Apparently it isn't enough. When
the General Assembly raised valua
tions, it cut the maximum rate. The
new rate on the old valuation can't
produce the revenue required by the
counties, and therein lies their ois-
