I IRKUKRI, COUNTY I Formed in 1789 Out of a Portion of R:w- * an County. s , (By the AuoMaiM fima.) _ ties of North Carolina. Iredell county , was created to overcome difficulties at" 1 tending remoteness from the county scat, according to the History of North Caro lina Counties compiled by Colonel Fred A. Olds, cf the North Carolina Historical Commission. The county was formed * out of a portion of Rowan county in the J Western section, action in this direction ‘ being taken by the General Assembly in December, 1788 when that body was in ( meeting at Fayetteville. The act creat ing the new county provided that the first court should be held at the house J of William Duffy in March, 1789 and that subsequent courts might be held where tile judges elected until a Court house was built. The county wns assigned to the Superior Court district of Salisbury. •The county," continues Colonel Olds’ ] account, "was on motion of General John I Steele of Roman, named in honor of I James Iredell, Sr., of Edenton, who had < been a leader in the adoption by the < State of the IT. S. Constitution at Flay- | etteville in 1780. and who served as nil l associate jusetice of the United States Supreme Court. “The county wns organized at Wil liam Duffy’s house, March 2, 178!). * This , place was two miles from where the present city of Statesville is located. In , those days the Fourth Creek Presbyter- , ian Church was where Statesville is and l | a map of 1773 shows that 198 families , were then living within miles of it. I The presence of several fine springs was- | the cause of this location of the church: “The commissioners fixed on the lands of William Sloan at this church for the | county seat and by 1790 u a log court j house and jail were built. These, in 181!). were replaced by brick structures | on tiie same location. The county seat was named Statesville —‘the town of the j State!’ That year part of Wilkes amt , Burke were added to Iredell and part of it was given back to Rowan upon peti- , tion of its inhabitants. Tiie first colonel of the county militia was George David son. The IT. S. Census of 1790 showed , a population of 5,433 made up of 1,118 free white males of 18 years and upwards , inoluding heads of families, and 1,217 males under 16; also 2,239 free white females and three other free persons (ne groes) and 858 slaves. •The court house was destroyed in December 1854 by a fire and in 1856 an other was completed. This was. con demned in. 1899 and the present one was built. Tiw deed books begin in 1788 and will books in 1807.” Besides many state officials. including. James Houston and Thomas R. Allison ns councillors of State, R. A. Simonton ns councilor of state and supreme court chief justice and David M. Furches as associate justice and councillor of state, the county has furnished to North Caro lina five superior court judges and thrdß congressmen, Joseph P. Caldwell, James H. Thomas, and Hugh L.

When finished, be the uiosi wonderful miniature building in tin world. Tiie housewhich is being built to stain on a base approximately the size of ; billiard table, is a replica in mini at un of that portion of Hampton Court l’al ace designed by Sir Christoplieer Wren a stately, three-winged residence enclos ing tiie beautiful Fountain Court, knowi to all who have visited the famous show place. Apart from its design, the Queen's do! house will bo as unlike the ordinary as . fair of its kind as is possible to imagine I Set amid verdant, well-ordered' lawns with terraces and hedges and pavements it will be a veritable dream palace eon j taining more marvels to (lie equate inei 'than any other palace or house in exist | once. A domed entrance hall-, leads to a mar ble stairway, the lofty ceiling and wall: of which are decorated with frescoe painted -by noted artists. Each of the downstairs rooms lias mantelpieces of I marble, inlaid with jade, as well as tiled hearths and wonderfully carved over mantels. Some of them have parquet j flooring: others are covered with tiny | Wilton carpets. The walls are hung with exact reproductions of old paint ings no larger than a postage stamp. One of the many other wonders is the music-room, in which a grand piano, seven inches long, is a conspicuous fea ture. Another marvel is the gun-room, .containing /.axes of guns made, by a fam- tU'd wmrfltig- g'ki r Os ev ery kind from skis a),d Skates to fishing tackle, with eases "of Hies complete. Yet more amazing is the library. Its walls are lined witli glass cases contain ing shelf on shelf of tiny books; includ ing a miniature copy of a work by every famous British author. Each book is magnificently bound, and is capable of being read witli a microscope. Every room is furnished as completely as if it were required sos- actual use. Tiie kitchens are equipped with ranges, cabi nets, tables, shelves, and every conceiv able domestic utensil. In the pantries are exquisite dinner and tea services, in cluding a complete and valuable minia ture coffee service of silver. Tiny switches control the electric light. I Running water, obtained from specially controlled cisterns, supply the kitelieus and bathrooms, which are fitted with silver taps. Electric elevators convey visitors in imagination from floor to floor. Outside, there is a wonderful garage, in which are housed three perfect model motor-cars and a motorcycle side-car. There are inspection pits, workships, and - living accommodations for the imaginary | chauffeurs. , Although the house is rapidly nearing completion it is impossible for anyone to state exactly what the total cost will amount to, but it has beeen estimated at; not far short , of $20,000 —for which sum , one could buy in England a very fine full-sized house aud grounds. In originating and fostering the scheme for building the most wonderful house of its kind ever known, til# Qilben has | had but one object in view* that of as- 1 sisting deserving charities, mainly Lon don hospitals. That the house will be the attraction] of the season when it is exhibited next year at the British Empire Exhibition is the verdict of all who iiave seen it in the making.

' - the battle against insects Insidf Work Revealed in Report cf Dr. L. O. Harvard. •By the Associated Press.) Washington, I>. ('., Dee. 15.—Tiie in side work of what is going on in the battle against inserts which destroy crops is detailed in the annual report ’of Itr. *;• ° Howard, ehief of the Hureau of Entomology to the Secretary of Agricul ture, which that office made public here tonight. Scores of these enemies are con tinually being investigated, according to the report, and every now and again a new one makes its appearance, some times threentening an important indus try in some section and the scientists are immediately sent to the scene to combat its ravages. "Nationally," reads a statement issued summarizing some of the important facts of the report, "the cotton boll weevil stands out as the insect which has cre ated the greatest economic disturbance of recent years. Tests conducted on more than 1 .(MM! farms scattered throughout the cotton belt have shown that by prop er flusting of tile fields with calcium ar- I senate <•»(. per cent, of the farmers were enabled to control the weevil so as to make the crap profitable, the ayerage in crease being .!:«) pounds of seed cotton to the acre at a cost of $4.00. Many exper iments were carried on in trying out other methods and equipment, including the use of airplanes for dusting. All but ■4.01 per cent, of the cotton crop is now produced in territory infested with the boll weevil.” Touching on other pests the statement declares that "strong efforts have been made to control of the Japanese beetle a new pest which lias been spreading in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The in sect is being carefully studied, farm prac tices are being modified to help reduce its muhiplicnupu and progress has been made in fntrodueing natural palais it es ' from the Orient. During the year much work was done on other deoidnous fruit ; insects, including those of the grape, ap ple. peach, and various others. “Campaigns have been carried on against the gray and brown tail moths * * Cereal and forage insects have been given milch attention in various parts of the country where damage is being done or where new pests are gaining a foot hold. The European corn borer is one of the most important of those introduc ed pests; another is the alfalfa weevil, while grasshoppers, the southern stalk borer, the wheat straw worm, the corn ear worm, and webworms have caused serious losses. Investigations were carried on to develop better control measures for insepts attacking stored grain and grain products, dried fruits, meat and fabrics. Tests have been made of cold storage for the prevention of loss by insects, of fumi gation and of woods such as red cedar. “A number of insects attacking tropi cal and sub-tropical fruits have become troublesome and efforts are being made to control them. Among these are sev eral citrus pests. “Treatments have been devised for de stroying certain animal pests and studies have been made of the possibilities in new treatments for lice on livestock and popltry and investigations of malaria mosquitoes have been conducted. “Another branch of this Varied work has to do with insects damaging forests .and those that destroy lumber and other ' forest products. The largest single eon trol project ever attempted against tree killing bark beetles is now ip its second season. The area on Southern Oregon and Northern California over which this epidemic extends is a, little larger than the state of Delaware and in the last ten years the western pine beetle lias killed over a million board feet of mar ketable yellow pine timber, valued at $3,- 000,000. This is fifty times as much as has been killed by fire on the same area during the same period. * * * “The bureau devoted much attention to improving the methods of bee culture and has a good sized apiary devoted to intensive studies of the ways of bees and means of controlling their diseases and protecting them from enemies * *“ JERRY DALTON WILL NOT BE PIT TO DEATH Death Sepbence Commuted to I’llson Term by Governor Morrison. |l)y the JfiMoctaled Press ' Raleigh, Deo 15. —The death sentence| of Jerry Dalton, convicted in Macon county of the mprder of his sweetheart and a young main today was commuted to a term of not less than twenty nor more than thirty yeais in the State pen itentiary by Governor Oatnero Morri son.

Dee. 15.—Tomorrow I will be the 1511th anniversary of the “Boston Ten Parte,” one of the out-’ standing ephndes in the chain of events ! that led up to the American Revolu tion. It v.ns on the night of Decem ■ her If.. 177:1, that a party of fifty or ! sixty citizens of .Bouton, after holding a spirited meeting in Faneuil Hall to protest against (lie lax whili England had put upon tea. took possession of i three „oasliips in the harbor and dumped 340 chests of tea into the bay. The 1 members of the party were disguished an ■ Indians and for a long time the secret of their identity wars carefhlly guarded. . But some of them are well known, and j the list includes family names still con spicuous in Massachusetts. I The "Boston Tea Party” was a sharp and able reminder to England that the Colonies were in no mood to have their rights either curtailed or infringed upon. It was a reminder to the ruling powers in the motherland that her children in far-off America were as free and inde pendent in spirit as their relatives who had never left the tight little isle. The notion of the citizens of Boston met with the approval of the rising spirit of liberty throughout the Colonies Tt was in accord with the times. It 1 gave the Colonists, already uneasy at the increasing heaviness of the hand, that ruled them from far across the seas, a sense of brotherhood, and cre ated a bond that held them together and strengthened their resolution to op pose “taxation without representation,” and made them fee) the reality of the declaration that such taxation was un-i bearably tyranny. The Province of Massachusetts was punished for dumping the hateful tea into the harbor. The port of Boston was closed to trade, until the tea was Paid for. Town meetings, those hot beds of discussion and disclhedienee, were forbidden to convene without the Governor’s permission, except for the regular election of officers. Certain public buildings designated by the gov ernor were to be used as barracks for the troops. DR.

AGREEMENT MAY END TIEUP IN THE HOUSE Republican Leaders aud Insurgents Have Hopes of Breaking Deadlock. —* oiTtvriasxwm - **- *—- Washington. Dee. 15. —An agreement which may end the tieup in the House ever committee assignments was reached today by Republicans and insurgent leuders. At the same time negotia tions to break the Senate organization deadlock were renewed, but the out come remained doubtful. Under an agreement on the House side a republican insurgent will be placed on the rules committee which directs the House legislative program, and the ■democrats will be denied addi tional representation. By this arrangement the threat of the democratic-insurgent combination to overthrow the republican House com mittee slate appeared to have been avert ed, and the leaders predicted that the House would perfect its organization speedily and get down to real work of the session. In the Senate a resumption of voting on the Interstate Commerce Commitee chairmanship has been postponed until Monday, but there were many confer ences in an effort to put an end to the deadlock brought about by the insurg ent’s refusal to support Chairman Cum mins for re-election. The insurgent bloc appeared determined to continue to support either one of its o-/p num ber, or Senator Smith, of South Caro lina, a democrat, for the chairmanship. Tlie House was in session only five minutes today and no mention was made on the floor of the rules committee fight. It apparently was the plan to bring in the committee slate for approval Mon day.
