The event considered "another important Btep in the establishment of the Blreat Smoky Mountains National Bark." which will ultimately ccmBrise half a million acres of scenic Berritory in the Southern Appalachian Range. If President Herbert Hoover fails Bo attend the Kings Mountain sesBuicentennial celebration on October Bth. next, it will be no fault of Worth Carolina, South Carolina, or Bennessee.

Taylor is secretary. More than 400 have expressed the Bintention to attend and the large number of prospective participants helped the committee in charge to Bthe conclusion that the banquet B should be held in the city auditoBrium instead of at the Sir Walter Hotel according to initial plans. i4Some of the speakers invited are: National Democratic Chairman Shouse, Governor 0. Max Gardner, Senator F. M. Simmons, J. W. I Bailey, Josephus Daniels and for m?r Governor Byrd of Virginia. B Speeches will be limited to fifteen minutes for the "big folks" and to fh'e minutes for the "small frys" who do the "introducing." The five ^Puants for the 1932 gubernatorial nomination are to be allowed six minutes each if they want it. The entire program will be broadcasted B?'er the local radio station WPTF. | Henry Burke, assistant director of B e State Budget bureau, gave em Phatic denial to the report that af a hundred State employees had |racently been given the "high B,,unce" a:> one of the incidents to |;.e Gardner program of "cutting ll)Q _ ~v garment to fit the cloth." There are to be nc dismissals so long as departments operate on the amounts allotted to them, says Mr. Burke, and only temporary employees of lhe Motor Vehicle License Bureau and the State Insurance Department have left the service lately. Politicians here or "all shades and conditions" are in thorough ac c?rd uith President Hoover in his flection of former Justice Chas. E. Z^hes as successor to Chief Justice William Howard Taft, who resigned 930 Warrenton, No because of ill health. All are in I agreement that no better selection could have been made for this high, ly important post in the public service. Singularly enough, the new Chief Justice is a prominent Baptist layman and the son of a Baptist minister. Many times refused a pardon for the killing of P. C. Oakes, Raeford Chief of Police, in 1913, John H. Cameron was paroled on Wednesday by Governor Gardner on ac. count of ill health. In 1914, while serving a twenty-year sentence Cameron escaped from the State Prison, made his way to Alabama and became wealthy in the turpentine and lumber business. But an acquaintance betrayed him two years ago in the hops of receiving a $400 reward, which had expired, and he was brought back to serve out his term. Interested friends got busy and finally succeeded in securing his relsase. Opposition to a parole grew out of the prisoner's action in paying the family of the man he slew $10,000 but Governor Gardner decided to resist the unusually strong appeal for parole no 1 J in fwArt n 4 lunger tuiu v^cuii/nuu is ncc au mu age of 61. He will scarcely be missed at the Prison, for 153 men and women were received there during the month of January. The State Game Warden directs attention to the fact that the major hunting season in North Carolina closed on the 15th and after this week game birds and animals are to experience a "much needed rest." Protection will also be extended to minks, otters, skunks, muskrats, raccoons, and 'possums. Another ; animal convention will then be in < order. The current hunting season ] has been highly satisfactory, it is < said, game having been unusually plentiful and public sentiment for j law enforcement more pronounced. 1 Automobile thieves are still abroad in the land, according to the Thelf Bureau of the Automobile License Department which reports the "pilfering" of 233 cars in North Carolina during last month. Of this number 110 were recovered, in ad. dition to 46 recovered from December thefts, making a total of 156 recovered during January. The department warns motorists to be certain their machines are protected against theft when they leave them parked, especially in cities and towns, either day or night. "Better to be safe than to be sorry." Slightly more license tags have so far been sold this year than last, the Department reports. Reckless Driving Takes Many Lives The Automobile License Bureau finds that reckless driving was the biggest cause of automobile accidents last year, there being 494 wrecks from this cause, 83 of which were fatal.

BOYCE DRUG STORE, Agent. rth Carolina the 785 occurring that day. Five thousand, six hundred, seventy-four people were killed and injured in 3,501 accidents. The report records the sale of 3,441 new cars last month as against 6,820 sold in January, a year previous. Sales of new cars in 1929 reached a high level not previously attained, with a peak of 73,860. A year previous the sales totaled 68,099. The recent decline in sales is attributed to bad weather. Lean pocketbooks may also be a contributing cause. North Carolina's Tax Commission has ascertained that seventy-three counties in the State reduced their county tax rate last year; no change in eleven counties and increased in sixteen. Clay had the highest rate and Fcrsyth the lowest, $2.52 and 60 cents respectively. Reductions ranged from 73 cents in Onslow to two cents in Alamance and Franklin; the increases from two cents in Alleghany and Guildford to 48 cents in Mitchell. The rate in Brunswick, Carterett, Hyde, Pamlico, Polk, Transylvania and Washington was $2.00 or more. />< /% ir a? a ? *jruveniur \j. xviax etter.
