DEBATERS LEAVE
FORJNIVERSITY
Fifty-Two Schools to Send Rep
resentatives to Chapel
Hill; Big Week
Nearly 500 high school debaters
and athletes, their superintendents,
principals, teachers, chaperones and
well-wishers will pour into Chapel
Hill April 13, 14 and 15 for high
school week at the University, when
championship contests will be settled
in debating, in tennis and in track.
It will be the largest number of high
school students that has ever been in
Chapel Hill at any one time.
Fifty-two schools, the survivors of
the State-wide contest in which more
than 200 schools, all the way from
the mountains to the sea, fought out
the question of collective bargaining
through labor unions, will send their
winning teams to Chapel Hill for the
further eliminating rounds. From
Lenoir go Eubert Crisp and Max
Warlick on the affirmative side and
Green Thompson and Miss Virginia
Seehorn on the negative side. Ac
companying them is Miss Mary Cof
fey, principal of the high school. This
means 104 debating teaims, or 208
debaters, nearly one-half of whom
are girls.
Added to these will be the largest
entry list that has ever been received
for the tennis tournament and the
track meet, approximately 25 tennis
players and 75 track men.
The debating cohorts will arrive
Wednesday night and Thursday
morning. A preliminary meeting will
be held in Peabody auditorium at
noon Thursday, where lots will be
drawn for the sections in which the
debaters will fight. There will be 13
different sections, with four complete
debates in"each section.
The first elimination round, Thurs
day night, April 14, will be in these
three sections. From each section
one team on each side of the ques
tion will be chosen. The second elim
ination round will bring together all
the 13 surviving affirmative and the
13 surviving negative teams Friday
(morning. From these two groups one
affirmative and one negative will be
selected.
Friday night these two teams will
meet for the final contest, the State
championship, and the Aycock memo
rial cup, awarded for former colle
giate debaters at the University.
President Chase will preside, E. R.
Rankin will be secretary, and Profs.
H. M. Wagstaff, L. P. MeGehee, L. R.
Wilson and George Howe wil! be
judges. Prof. Horace Williams will
present the. Aycock c;;p.
The interscholastic track meet will
be held on Emerson field Friday af
ternoon, April 15, and the tennis
tournament will continue through
Thursday and Friday. University
athletics officials and members of the
track and tennis teams will handle
these contests. Prof. M. C. S. Noble
will present the medals and prizes.
Entertainments of various kinds
have been arranged for the high
school visitors. The Carolina-Trinity
baseball gaime Thursday afternoon
will be a stellar athletic event and
the county clubs of University stu
dents will look after visitors from
their own counties.
PICTURE CAN BE TRANSFERRED
ANY DISTANCE BY WIRE
Herwood Peterson, a chief engi
neer in the employ of the Norwegian
government telegraph service, has
invented a wire and cable system by
which it is possible to transfer a pic
ture or a message in original hand
writing over a practically unlimited
distance, says a dispatch from Chris
tiana. The device was recently pub
licly tested between two 600-mile
points and was reported successful.
Contrary to the present telegraph
system, Mr. Peterson uses an alter
nating electric current, allowing a
strictly synchronous work of the
sending and receiving apparatus, a
higher speed and an enonmous saving
of operating costs. The system, it
is claimed, also makes it possible to
transmit double the number of words
compared with any other telegraphic
system now used and it operates au
tomatically from the moment the tel
egram, picture or drawing is received
by the operator until it is received at
the place of delivery. No new wires
or cables are necessary.
The manuscript to be transferred
is placed on a metallic cylinder-
somewhat resembling an original wax
photographic film and exposed to a
strong arc light The manuscript is
conied on the cylinder Aim. devel
oped and chromagraphically etched
into the metal. The cylinder is then
nlaced on the sending SDDaratus. to
which is transmitted an electric cur
rent going' to the receiving appa
ratus. When the cylinder rotates a
needle moves on it, touching every
point on the cylinder. Whenever dt
touches the copied letters of the
manuscript it causes a short circuit.
which Is transmitted to the receiving
apparatus with its photographic pa
per on which the copy is reproduced.
PICTURE FRAME MADE FROM
CIGAR BOXES
A very odd and unique picture
frame was brought to the News-Topic
office by Mr. P. A. Healan last week.
Mr. Healan said that Mr. Walter
Bruce, one of the prisoners in the
jaili asked for some cigar boxes a
few days ago, and they wero given
to him. A few days later the frame
was presented to Mr. Healan. Mr.
JBruce will be liberated tomororw. .
FRUIT THOUGHT TO
BE TOTALLY KILLED
Thermometer Dropped to 24
Monday Night Heavy
Frost and Ice
The fruit crop apples, peaches
and all other fruits was totally kill
ed Monday night, is the belief of
farmers and fruit men here. S. E.
Dula, owner of the largest commer
cial orchards in this section, says that
he does not believe there is any fruit
at all left. Mr. Dula kept smudges
going throughout the night, but they
were not effective against the freeze.
Monday night the government
thermometer registered 24 degrees,
says A. N. Todd, the weather obser
ver. Vegetation is damaged to a large
extent. The grass, flowers, leaves
and trees were all frozen stiff, and
after the sun had warmed up every
thing became black and drooping.
There was right much ice found.
It was thought that a gooa deal of
the fruit escaped the cold spell a few
weeks ago, but it is feared it was all
killed in this spell.
Snow fell Sunday night at Blowing
Rock, and according to visitors from
there about half an inch of snow fell
up there. The wind blew a gale and
the weather was very cold.

Company 49 was organized early
in the war after the regular North
Carolina national guard had been
called into overseas service. While
the Lenoir company was never called
out to do active service, the Hickory

WATAUGA HAS 47
MILES GRADED ROAD
Clean-Up Week Observed
Other News of Boone
and Community
(By J. M. Downum) 1
Boone, April 11. Clean-up week
was observed at the Training School
and things on the campus are look
ing much improved. We trust the
good work will go on.
We are reliably informed that Wa
tauga county now has 47 miles of
graded road, all practically ready for
the hard surface, and 9 miles more
now being graded and under contract
to be finished in a short time. These
56 miles will connect this county with
Caldwell, Wilkes and Tennessee.
Prof. A. T. Allen, supervisor of
te-acher training, was at the Training
School during Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of the past week plan
ning for the work he has in hand for
the school to do under the new school
law. He took minute account of ev
erything pertaining to the school that
he might be the better able to under
stand thoroughly the capabilities and
the needs of the school to do the work
to be required of it under the new
plans. He seemed pleased with the
equipment and efficiency of the
school.
One of the hardest freezes in years
for this season is now on us in Wa
tauga, beginning on the 10th with
snow and a freeze on the 11th. the
ground being frozen and very much
ice formed. The peaches and cher
ries are doubtless all frozen, and as
to the apples it is impossible at this
stage to say to what extent they are
injured, but many believe many of
them are killed. It is hoped, how
ever, that there may yet be at least
a fair crop.
The Professors Dougherty went to
Morristown, Tenn., on Saturday in
answer to a telegram announcign the
death of their cousin in the hospital
at that place.
Prof. Greene, with several friends,
spent the week end at his home near
Mabel, than which there are few more
hospitable, homes to be found any
where. Prof. Downum spent from Satur

HOSIERY MILL IS TO
STARTUPMONDAY
E. O. Willis Manager Plant
Will Be Increased from
Time to Time
The Lenoir branch of the Hickory
Hosiery Mill will begin operations
Monday, according to the local man
ager, O. E. Willis. Mr. Willis says
that they will only put 12 to 15 girls
to work Monday morning, and that
this number will be increased as they
learn to operate the knitting ma
chines. This is the first hosiery mill to be
gin operations in Lenoir, and all help
that is secured locally will have to be
trained in the work. It is the plan
of the owners to increase the capac

HIGHEST DAM IN THE WORLD
SOON TO BE BUILT
The highest dam in the world, to
join the States of Nevada and Ari
zona and harness the turbulent wa
ters of the Colorado river for extend
ed irrigation in the southwest, is to
be constructed in the near future by
the United States reclamation ser
vice, says a dispatch from Washing
ton.
The dam, according to tentative
plans, would rise to the unprecedent
ed height of 500 or 600 feet in boul
der canyon, where granite abutments
rise more than 1,000 feet above the
water surface. Engineers of the
reclamation service, afloat on barges,
are now boring for bed rock beneath,
A lake varying from 30 to 50 miles
in length would be backed up in the
Colorado and virgin rivers, and in
this basin would.be held in check for
irrigation the drainage from almost
the entire Colorado river basin, in
cluding parts of six States.
The proposed structure would be
higher by far, than the world's high
est datm at present Arrowrock dam,
on the Boise river, Idaho, which
measures 348 feet and would top
other famous dams in the United
States, among the highest of which
are Shoshone, on the Shoshone river,
Wyoming, 328 feet: Elephant Butte
on the Rio Grande. New Mexico. 300
feet; and Roosevelt, on the Salt
river. Arizona. 290 feet.
Preliminary work on the Boulder
Canyon project is being done under
authority of Congress, which appro
priated $20,000 for investigation.
ALUMINUM SALE
The Lenoir Hardware and Furni
ture Company will Jiold a big alumi
num sale Thursday.- They have a

is for one day only. ,
DOLLAR DAY WILL i
BE BIG EVENT HERE
Merchants Ready for Crowds;
A Big List of Bargains
Being Arranged-
Thursday, April 14, Lenoir's first
dollar dav, will be observed. Quite
a number of merchants are co-oper-
sting and are placing many wonder
ful bargains on display for dollar
rut-chases. Department stores, gro
eerymen, drug stores, jewelers and
automobile dealers have joined in this
nig sale event, and this issue of the
News-Topic carries announcements
of their special offerings.
There has been much interest
among people who are not merchants
in this coming event. There has been
considerable talk among persons vis
iting town during the past few days,
anci it is believed that one of the big
gest crowds to visit Lenoir since the
last fair will be here on Dollar Day.
The merchants have something really
wonderful to offer purchasers. The
sales are all supposed to be cash
salt's, and this was considered in mak
ing up lists of special bargains.
Lenoir folks who have attended
Dollar Day events in Charlotte and
Hickory tell of the big crowds that
were present at those places, and tell
of the many unusual values that
could be secured for the price of one
dollar. These reports will add to the
effectiveness of the announcement of
Lenoir merchants, and will help swell
the big crowds that are expected to
be here during the day.
LITTLE INTEREST IN COMING
MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Very little interest is being shown
in the coming mayoralty race. The
election will be held on the first Mon
day in May. Attorney B. F. Williams
has already issued a statement that
he will not be a candidate, and Mayor
J. T. Pritchett is the only avowed
aspirant.
During the past few days there has
been talk among the friends of Dr.
A. W. Dula concerning his probable
candidacy. Dr. Dula has not issued
any statement concerning this mat
ter. There is some talk of a new set
of eommjssioners, but whether or not

CONTEST HEARING
AGAIN ON APRIL 26
Dead Mn Did Not Vote in
Caldwell, as Claimed By
Dr. Campbell
The hearing of the contestee, Con
gressman R. L. Doughton, in the con
test proceedings brought against him
by Dr. J. I. Campbell ended here Fri
day. However, on April 26, another
hearing is scheduled for this county.
Mr. Doughton expressed great pleas
ure in the showing made in this coun
ty towards disputing the contention
of Dr. Campbell that numbers of ir
regularities were permitted. It was
proved that Lower Creek precinct did
not vote dead men, as Dr. Campbell
contended, and claims made in other
precincts were proven to be without
foundation.
Mr. Doughton expressed confidence
that the final result would prove he
and his friends were winners in the
election. He stated that the hearings
would continue about three weeks
longer and that the evdience would
come to Congress, where it would be
printed and refererd to one of the
election committees of the House.
He said when the evidence was all in
it would be shown that Dr. Campbell
received more "illegal votes" than
were received by him and that while
there had been no great amount of
irregularities it would be shown that
where illegal voting had been prac
ticed Dr. Campbell had been the
greater beneficiary. He also stated
that it has taken evidence up to date
that deserters who had not paid their
poll tax, ex-convicts who had not
been restored to citizenship and big
amists had voted for Dr. Campbell:
also one man and his wife, who voted
the Republican ticket in Ashe coun
ty, had testified In the Superior Court
in said county twice in the last year
that his home was in Virginia. Also
it has been shown that in one coun
ty, having a Republican sheriff, poll
taxes had been given out after May
1 and dated back.

NO REDUCTION IN
LAND VALUATIONS
To Reduce Valuation Would
Cause Rate Increase; Smith
Appointed Supervisor '
The county commissioners, in joint
session with the board of appraisers
and review .declined to make any
horizontal revision of the tax rate
property valuation. To make any
change in the valuation, they said,
would cause the rate to be in
creased. This would not give tax
payers any relief which they are ask
ing for.
The petition signed by a number
of property owners asking for a re
duction of 33 1-3 per cent was pre
sented the joint imeeting. Many oth
er property owners attended the
meeting in person.
Mr. E. H. Smith was appointed
county supervisor for listing taxes
this year. This is a new office creat
ed by an act of the last legislature.
Mr. Smith has appointed the follow

to list the number of acres which they
have in certain crops. Blanks for
this acreage listing have already been
received from state authorities and
the list takers are to be furnished
with same. An act providing for this
acreage listing was passed by the re
cent general assembly. In such list
ing the farmer must list the total
acres in his entire farm, then he must
list the number of acres plowed or
pastured. In addition to this he must
list the number of acres planted in
corn, cotton, tobacco, wheat, pota

VALMEAD VOTES A
SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX
Not a Single Ballot Was Cast
Against the Measure
Plan a New Building
Valmead. located in Lower Creek
township of Caldwell county, held an
election for a special school tax on
Monday, April 11, which was carried
unanimously. When the returns were
counted it was found that 56 voters
had registered and 50 votes were
cast for the tax, with not a single
vote against it. The registrars ad
vised that the six who had registered
and failed to vote were unable to
reach the polls, but if they had been
able to come out they would have
voted for same.
This is one of the finest manifes
tations of the spirit for schools ever
exhibited in this county or anywhere
so far as we know. It is a fine ex-
ample fof the other twonships and
districts to follow which are getting
ready to vote for bonds.
It is planned to build a new and
modern graded school building this
summer and have it ready for the
beginning of the fall term.

CALDWELL MEN
HELD IN NEWTON
B. and Fred Brinkley Are
Charged With Causing
Death of Man
A. B. and Fred Brinkley of Cald
well county are being held in Newton
ail on a charge of inflicting injuries
on Homer Barringer or catawoa
county, on March 20, which caused
his death two days later. 1 he Brink
ley boys are the sons of Jule Brink
ley, who lives in the Grace Chapel
section, it is said here. A prelimi
nary hearing was 'given the young
men in Newton last week.
Carroll Little, who accompanied
Homer Barrington on a picnic Sun
day, March 20, was the State's prin
cipal witness and told the court how
he and Barringer drove from the pic
nic to the Brinkley home that even-
ng, savs a report from the trial. The
two Brinkleys and Barringer gam
bled in the woods. He said he be
came tired of watching them and
went to the automobile alongside the
road for a nap. The witness said a
lttle later the three men passed by,
cursing, which aroused him.
A. B. Brinkley was in front with a
pole eight or nine feet long. Bar
ringer followed and Fred Brinkley
followed Barringer, the three being
about 15 feet apart. They went to
the home of Brinkley, where a lew
uninutes later he heard a noise as if a
hog had been knocked over the head,
followed by an expression from Bar
ringer, ' The boys have killed me; I
did not think they would do it-" Lit
tle described the trip to Catawba for
a physician, and told of Barringer
driving the automobile to Newton,
where Dr. Rowe, a witness for the
State, dressed the wound. Dr. Rowe
said the injury was two inches and a
quarter long. Little said he found
a piece of iron bar in the Brinkley
yard about four feet long the Wed
nesday following the tragedy and it
had blood on it.
Barringer died in a hospital in
Statesville on Thursday following the
assault.
Noah Barringer, uncle of the slain
man, said that he saw Fred and A. B.
Brinkley in Newton on Saturday be
fore the attack and that Homer Bar
ringer had about $200 in money.

BILL TO BE INTRODUCED FOR
A SALES TAX
Senator Smoot of Utah, a Republi
can member of the Senate finance
committee, has formally announced
that he will introduce a bill provid
ing for a general sales tax.
Senator Smoot s measure, which
he estimates would yield approxi
mately $1, 500,000, 000 in revenue
annually, would place a flat tax of
one per cent on gross sales above
$6,000 annually of virtually all com
modities, both raw and finished prod
ucts. The bill carries a few exemp
tions, but application of the tax
would be stayed practically only on
such commodities as now bear a
higher levy.
Early consideration of the Smoot
proposal is planned by the Senate
finance committees in its study of the
taxation question. Tentative ar
rangements contemplated the open
ing of hearings on this phase before
the end of the week.
In discussing his proposed sales tax
Mr. Smoot said it would be simple in
application and easy to compute. He
declared it would properly distribute
the burden of taxation, compelling
each citizen to bear a share propor-'
tionate to his ability to pay as meas
ured by buying or producing powers.
If the sales tax becomes a part
of the revenue laws of our country,"
the statement continued, "Congress
can repeal not only the items pro
vided for the bill as presented by
me, but can repeal all of the irri
tating, nagging, discriminatory taxes
amounting to hundreds of millions of
dollars and the excess profits tax,
the result of which has worked such
havoc with business concerns of our
country and which have in many
cases been compelled to pay the ex
cess tax on paper profits.
Present taxes on soft drinks, to
bacco, automobiles and some other
so-called luxuries would remain un
der the Smoot bill. These commodi
ties already bear taxes regarded as
heavier than the flat one per cent
tax. In addition to the tax on sales,
a levy having the same application
would be placed on total amounts of
all leases.
SATURDAY IS ANNIVERSARY OF
LEE'S SURRENDER
"Fifty-six years ago today Gen.
Lee surrendered at Appomattox,"
