Good Profits Secured
By Poultry Farmer
Cary, Jan. 18.—A total net pro
fit of $1,515.32 was secured from
a flock of 186 Rhodel&land Red
r— hens belonging to A, Allen of
Cary, according to a report that he
has made on his flock to John C.
Anderson, county agent of Wake
county.
Mr. Allen kept a careful record
of each egg secured from his flock
from the first day of January,
1925, to the last day of December.
His record show 26,244 eggs sold
for a total income of $1,083.05.
During the year, it cost him exact
ly $683.11 to feed the flock of hens
producing these eggs. This left
a profit of $399.94 on the laying
flock of 186 birds.
But during the same period,
some eggs were used for hatching
purposes. Mr. Allen raised and
sold 1,683 pounds of broilers for
$724.38 securing good prices be
• cause of the fine quality of his
! early fryers} and because they
were well fed. In addition, he
now has 161 strong selected pul
lets to add to his flock and thege
are worth $391. This makes a
total profit of $1,515.32.
Mr, Allen states that it was al
most impossible to keep a separate
account of the feed used by the
broilers and pullets and he does
not know exactly how to charge
this off. He is satisfied, however,
: that his flock returned him at least
$1,500 in cash during the past j
year.
In addition to his poultry work,
Mr. Allen has a small farm and
is giving each of his children a
j good education. He claims that
! the poultry provides him with the
1 necessary cash to keep his young
er children in school and the old
! er ones in college. Mr. Anderson
1 states that he is one of the best
' poultrymen *n Wake County.

HUMAN LIFE IS CHEAPEST
THING IN NORTH CAROLINA
Judge Stack Says We Have No
Right to Throw Stones at
Chicago Over Murders
In speaking of the auto viola
tions, Judge Stack stated that the
auto takes a heavier toll of life
than the pistol.
“Oftimes,” said Judge Stack,
“those who pay for the roads of
our good State are afraid to drive
over them because of the careless
ness of other people, especially
those who drive cars while intoxi
cated. The drunken drivers must
be taught a lesson and the best
way to teach it to him is to let
him make a few roads himself.
Another is to take away the right
and privilege to operate a car on
the highway. This will help tc
restrain, not only the violator, but
those who see the way in which
he was handled.
“It is largely the young fellow
who is full of life, who drives
recklessly on the roads,” said
Judge Stack. “Girls are cautious
and prudent, as a rule; it is the
boys who lose sight of the rights
of the other fellow. This auto
mobile proposition is almost a
new thing and we must become
adapted to it.”
Judge Stack commented on the
high rate of crime in the State
and stated that one reason for
this is the fact that a criminal can
hop into an auto after committing
a crime and be out of the State in
a short while. He stated that a
criminal always planned a crime
out before he acted. They figure
that they can tamper with the
jury, bribe the witnesses or beg
the judge out of punishment.
Speaking further of the way in
gpi
of punishment. Judge Stack re
ferred to petitions asking for par
dons. “And tbe very fellow who
stands on the street corner and
bewails the manner in which
criminals are given light punish
ment, will be the first to sign the
petition.”
“This promiscuous pardoning of
prisoners has a big effect on the
crime situation,” the jurist con
tinued. “I think now that we
have a splendid executive at the
head of our State government and
one who does not promiscuously
pardon prisoners, no pardons be
ing allowed unless it is a merit
ious case. I am not against the
pardon commission either.”
“We have no right to throw
stones at Chicago,” stated the jur
ist. ‘ That city had one murder
every day last year, on an aver
age, and it has between two and
one-half million and three million
people. North Carolina has about
three million people and we aver
aged more than one murder per
day last year.”
The cheapest thing in North
Carolina is a human life, he said.
“A man recently killed another
for ten cents; another killed a
man over a rabbit; another over
a turkey, and still another over a
dog. The time has come whs*;
the officers of the law must wake
UP-’—Judge Stack at Forsyth
Court.

RUTLEDGE IS AGAIN
APPOINTED POSTMASTER
Postmaster W. E. Rutledge, who
has served as postmaster here for
the past four years, was re-ap
pointed by President Coolidge last
veeek and has been confirmed by
the Senate.
The business of the Yadkin
ville postoffice has greatly increas
ed during the past four years and
considerable changes have been
made in the mail service at this
place. When Mr. Rutledge took
charge of the office there was one
mail in the morning from Wins
ton-Salem, carried by automobile,
and one mail from Rockford, when
the river could be crossed, which
came in the afternoon, carried by
.buggy. This has been changed,
through the efforts of Mr.
Rutledge so that we receive mail
twice daily from the railroad be
sides the Winston-Salem mail, and
the same mail now goes to Crutch
1 field via Boonville and goes twice

Besides this a number of Rural
! route changes have been made to
benefit patrons in various sec

small town off the railroad in this j
section.

N. C. IS SECOND IN MONEY
SPENT FOR PUBLIC WORKS
Raleigh, N. C., January 16.—
Although North Carolina re
ceived in revenue per capita less
than 42 of the 48 states in the un
ion in 1924, she spent more
money for public improvements
than any other state in the coun
try, with the single exception of
Illinois. Her total interest
charges, however, were higher
than any of the states, with the
exception of three.
Spending $32,670,000 for per
manent improvement during that
year, she ranked second highest
in this particular, being outdis
tanced only by Illinois, the expen
ditures for that state for this pur
pose having totalled $39, 280,000.
But North Carolina’s per capita
revenue receipts were only $7.80.
This was lower than any state, ex
cept Illinois, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida and Arkansas.
The figures are compiled by the
bureau of the census of the Uni
ted States Department of Com
merce, and have just been receiv
ed here.
I SEEK U. S. AID ON BOON
TRAIL
—
1 Rumor Is Heard of More Cement
By L. J. Hampton
Yadkinville, Jan. 12.—Chairman
A. B. Hobson, of the Yadkin coun
ty road board, has affixed his
signature to the resolutions pass
ed by his board requesting the
| federal road authorities to desig
nate Highway No. 60, known as
the Boone Trail, as a part of the
federal highway system. A week
ago today the county commission
ers put their 0. K. on the resolu
tion and it was signed by the
board chairman, J. N. Davis.
It is understood that the Ki
wanis club of North Wilkesboro,
the road commissioners of Wilkes,
and the county commissioners of
that county have also endorsed
the resolutions, which will be for
warded to Chairman Frank Page
of the state highway commission,
who will be asked to in turn for
ward it to the federal authorities
with the request that the Boone
Train be designated as a national
highway.
Hear of Paving
People of Yadkin county as well
as Wilkes and the people further
west are jubilant over the cur
rent report that the hardsurfac
ing contract of the section of the
Boone Trail between North Wilk
esboro and Brooks Cross Roads
will be let on February 3, next.
There have been many rumors
amount the proposal to hardsur-,
face this particular stretch of the
Boone Trail, but recent newspap
er dispatches and editorial com
ment indicate that the state is to
now let the hardsurface contract
on the thirty-mile section, three
miles of which already has its
hardsurface coating, thus settling
the matter of speculation as to
when It will be dohe.
The contractor who built the
concrete highway from here to
the Yadkin river has stated that
he will undertake the building of
the six-mile section between Yad
kinville and Brooks Cross Roads
for approximately $10,000 a mile
less than the contract price of
the road just finished, it is ex
pensive to move road machinery
and equipment, and the contrac
tor states that he can well afford
to do it for less money on account
of the fact that his equipment is !
now all upon the ground and his
road force waiting to go to work
either here or elsewhere.
