His excellency appeared at the capital early on the morning following his induction into office and has since that time been the busiest man m Raleigh. The General Assembly is soon to be apprised of the Governor's conception of present needs of * the Siate, in concrete form, and then commonwealth building will begin in earnest in accordance with the plans of a really great business executive. So far Legislature has bean ''mark ing time." it has enacted no legis lation ol" a general character, but is "organized and ready for business.'' The following public bills have been presented during the week: Joint resolution prohibiting the teaching of Darwinism in the Public schools; to punish the giving ol worthless checks; increase compel sation of men:hers of the General Assembly by amendment to the Con stitution; repeal the act requiring registration of motcr vehicle;; to pro vide for a monument to the life'am' sen-ices of the late Chief Justice Walter Clark; mend law relating t the trial of issues of fact; to proper !y present the natural resources cl the State to the "outside wor!d;"t enable cities ond towns to license and regulate peddling; to repeal tin ;tatute with reference to niedeal ex uninations by life insurance com oanies; relativs to excluding evi lence of transactions of an interest d party with d?teased officer 01 ?gentN to a corporation ;amend chap er relative to taxing dogs; to pro libit the sale of firecrackers and toy :>istols; to prohibit the issue of in ;urance without the consent of tin nsured and to regulate the issue Of nfaOtilc '-insurance; for closer sup, rvision of electrical wiring; to pro vide lot* better lire protection am! upervision of state and privatelV Avned hospitals, asviqins and saria vOiiums; to define and regulate group .ifc insurance; to rearrange the .udicial districts of the State; , to 4>rovi,de for the use of both front and .car license plates 011 motor vehicles; .0 provide laws governing the salt? locks, bonds and other securities in .ne State; an act relating to emer ,-ency judges; to re-enact the act re utmg to justices and other o?..eer.

The mem bers have been uvgi'd by the prosid .ng officer of e?< !i f?ranch of the As sembly to present'ail local measures early in the pessi: n, so the machinery nay operate snuUthly later on. The date of Governor McLean's .irst message to the General Assem bly is est for Wednesday of the pres ent week. This will be the signal for .1 forward movement in legislative eirclcs aiid the termination of a4'lull" n the) proceedings which could not .i'ell be avoided. It is never an easv natter to^get things going until .af ter inaugural ceremonies ore out of the way. Air. McLean appears to /.now the direction in which he is .'leaded and the General Assembly has? a mind to go along with him. / I With the legislative and executive fepartnnents in complete harmony there can be little question of results that will spell big things fcr tho otate in a general way. On' Thursday the members of tlio Jeneral Assembly heard Gutzcn Borglum, world famous sculptor, and .he directing hand in the Stone Mountain confederate Memorial, in V fifteen minute talk. Mr. Bo*glum 5poke feelingly of this wonderful en terprise and gave unstinted praise ,o the southern heroes whose statues arc being carved in stone as a me tiorial to their valor a^t a' time which tried mens souls. / Adjournment was taken on Fridav :n memory of former Governor W.

NORTE CAROLINA MID MONTH CROP NOTES January has thus far been unfavor able for farm wrrk.The soil has bee too wet for workinsr and even road are almost imjKissable. The temp?r ture has been about normal for t! i season. Conditions are now - ;moro favorable for outside ? activities. ? )\Things are generally inactive on farms dne to the cold apd- wet con ditipns. There is practically no evi j deaoe of any kind of field work ex cept the cutting of stalks where con ditions permit. Very little com-is left on stalks in fields. The amount will probably not run 2 percent. Mi^ch of the land has n t Ii;h1 the stalks <5nfc yet. Practically jail uf the corn area had the leaves stripped from the stalks during the past season. The short age of long feed was largely respon sible for this. The shortage in yield is resulting in more than the usual importation of corn. While there is still some cotton to be seen in the fields, practically all of it has been picked. There is more than the usual amount of stained lint, due to winter picking. Small grains are growing slowly, due to the continued cold weather and cloudness. Plants are considered small fo rthis time of the year. Th( root growth is good. The acreage i. probably small, due to unfavorable planting conditions aud the harvest ing of other crops. All kinds of rep rts "re ' "do c' ccruing livestock. In the main, t pears t'lat conditions are about a. usual for this season. The number o\ reports are fairly balanced between those reporting "poor" and "good* ccnditions; also, bet rem "lev prices" and "good sales Tobacco sales have, oT.course, beei' much less than last year, but th-' price is also much better. An increas in this crop is. expected this year. Long feed is generally slicrt. Cor; and oats are the shortest for man years. More than the usual hay and grain is boing imported. ' Prices have been <>ood. Farmer are optimistic. Less pessimism thai usual. COMMENDS COMMISSIONERS Editor Jackson County Journal. Dear Sir:?I desire to commend our County Commissioners in theii elforts in economy. I think they havi started on the right track. It will payour people to stop, lool and listen and see where we art. financially before going much further. We have five, men on . the board of Education when three woulddo. We have three men on the Highway Commission, whose work Mil I v ' ran sacied by the-County Coiiinii=s.< nerv with very little mere time and ex pqise to the county. The Co:mty Commissioners have to levy the taxes, why not let. then see to the spending cf a part cf the money at least ? If we want to begi(T to retrench we should begin at thcN tDp. ' ?. Cj .

STATE'S PROGRESS During the last 20 yeare North | Carolina's property values have in creased eight times over; the value '?of her manufactured products lias increased-35 . times. She teads-- the union in the percentage of debt free homes; more, tjian> four-fifths of her citizens who own homes have them without encumbrance. i , ? tf ??
