Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear Ood, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. —Ecc. 12:1, 13. WILL MORE COURTS SOLVE THE PROBLEM? The Judiciary Committee of the House of the General Assembly has recommend ed the creation of seven additional dis tricts, calling for the appointment of sev en new judges and seven new solicitors. - R O. Everett, of Durham county, is the chairman of the committee and he has re ceived many reports from the State in dicating that improvement, of some kind is needed in the management of the covert*. Congestion causes delays it is said, and many times delays cheat jus tice, But would the additional districts re lieve conditions? That’s the question for the solons to .decide. : Judge Sinclair seems to feel that we should improve what we have rather than add anything new. The News and Observer in discussing the matter points out that Judge Sinclair has had much experience in court mat ters, he having served as solicitor for two years before going to the bench. “Last week,” says the Raleigh newspaper, “Judge Sinclair wrote a letter to Mr. Ev erett making a suggestion that is worthy of consideration. In it he expresses the opinion that members of local bars could largely control the situation by adopting a liberal policy of compromising and re ferring cases.” Judge Sinclair said further that “un less this is done you will find the con gestion just as bad after increasing the number of judges as it is now.” Judge Sinclair points out that in the populous centers of the northern states it would be impossible to get along if it were not for references. It Is in adopting the sys tem of references that Judge Sinclair points away to prevent delays in civil trials. He says: A reference system ought' to be adopt ed in this State. lam aware of the fact that referring cases under our present sys tem is unsatisfactory because of the dif ficulty in getting them heard; but the State could work out a satisfactory sys tem by dividing the State into reference districts, not necessnrily along judicial district lines, and appointing an official referee for each district. This would pay a man enough to justify « good lawyer taking the position, and he could set down his cases for hearing just as the referees in bankruptcy do in the Federal court and It would cost the State nothing alt all, as the referee’s fees would be paid by the lit igapts and taxed in the costs. A large percentage of cases growing, out of busi ness transactions and many long and ted ious ejectment cases could thus be dis posed of. An enormous amount of time could thus be saved to the courts, for while the right of appeal and jury trial could be demanded, every lawyer knows that the jury would hear it on the writ ten report of the referee as they hear depositions and the tirifc consumed would be negligible. The News and Observer is of the opin ion that “there has been fewer improve ments in judicial methods than in any other professions in fifty years. We still hold to precedents that are outworn, to traditions that have no modern applica tion, and to act today aa when the whole process of the court was to prevent in jury to -the citizens by the officers of the crown. If lawyers would lead the way to secure justice the people would gladly follow.” ALWAYS IN PRINT. It seems now that Charlie Chaplin and his wife are not trying to make any “set tlement” after all. Mrs. • Spicer, mother of Mrs. Chaplin, says her daughter and the screen comedian have decided (p have nothing more Jo do with lawyers , and she says negotiations underway some time ago were “purely personal.” These movie folks know how to get publicity. Chaplin and his young wife have been written about at least once each week since their marriage. Os course the newspapers carry the stuff be- j cause the public demnnds it. Chaplin has millions of ndmirers throughout the! country and what interests him interests [ them. When it was first reported that Chap lin was trying to negotiate a “settlement” the public jumped to the conclusion that a divorce or separation was in the mak ing. This was denied at once, but still 1 the movie people have been known to get divorces without much notice and appar ently without much hesitation and the public was ready to believe anything. j . r~ —-— i North Carolina led the rest of the 1 South in cotton mill activity dnring last year and the South led the rest of the 1 world. The industry was not as active j last year as in some other years due to the slump in the markets, but just the same many spindles and looms Were in- i stalled and of those put in place in the South, North Carolina got more than 1 half. South Carolina was second and Georgia third. The slump in business ] wns felt throughout the east as well as the 1 South and more improvements were made , in the South than in the New England textile centers. And in addition, the spindles in place were more active in the South than in the New England "States, and more than half of the cotton consumed was used in the mills located south of the Mason and Dixon line. , YOUR INCOME TAX No. 14 The revenue act of 1024 provides that in computing net income there may be deducted from gross income "‘a reason able allowance for the exhaustion, wear, and tear of property in trade or busi ness, ..including n reasonable allowance for obsolescence.” For convenience this allowance is usually referred to as “de preciation.” The deduction is confined to property actually used in a business, trade, profession, or vocation. In gen eral it applies to capital assets, the cost of which can not be deducted as an ex pense. For example, a lawyer sician is not permitted to write off as a current expense the cost of his pro fesstional library, but may deduct an allowance for its depreciation. Deductions are not allowed for de preciation of a taxpayer’s home, the furnishings therein, his personal effects or clothing. Costumes used exclusive ly in the theatrical business, however, may be the subject of a depreciation al lowance. Depreciation in the value of land, whether improved or unimproved, can not be claimed. No amount may be included for de preciation representing reduction in value of property due to changes in environ ment —for example, loss in rental due to, a change in the social or business con dition of the neighborhood. Neither is any - change in " fhfc 'anionuf or rjrfe of depreciation allowable on account of an increase or decrease in the market value of property. Fluctuation in the value of depreciable property has no bearing upon the rate or amount allowable for depreciation. Intangibles, the use of which in trade or business is definitely limited in dura ation may be the subject of a deprecia tion allowance. Examples are patents, copyright, licenses, and franchises.

Father of Dry Law Pleased With Its Operation. Granite Falls, Minn., Feb. 9.—Prohibi tion has reduced the prison population of this country and greatly increased the cliureli membership, according to An drew J. Volstead, former Minnesota con gressman and father of the ’ prohibition enforcement act. “Under the old rule of affairs,” Mr. Volstead recently wrote a personal friend, “the saloon never obeyed any law, while now. despite our increased population, there are fewer prisoners by several thousands in our jails. "There has been a decided increase in the church membership since the eighteenth amendment became a law The average length of life has been in creased by three years; people are sav-, ing money ami buying homes; slums in the cities are no more; gone are the ribald songs and foul stories. “There is no constant violation of the prohibition law, generally known, which goes unpunished. It is unfortunate that certain large newspapers labor to encourage resistance to law enforcement. Nothing is perhaps better calculated to effect that purpose than to extol the al leged high character of- those who are breaking the law. “Tliat prohibition cannot be enforced; that the difficulties are fundamental and inherent in the character of the legis lation and the nature of the people, is not only clearly disproved by our ex perience in the prohobitioji state, but by what we have accomplished under na tional prohibition. “Public opinion, reflected in more dras tic and adequate punishments, is grow ing stronger and the organization for en- I forcement is steadily improving and be coming more effective."

Some one must have told the V. S. goyernroe"nt the joke about getting Ford parts in n 5 and 10 cents store. The . Philadelphia mint last year made 50.- 130,000 dimes.

You got a good one.” Reade: “I know, hut my wife is learning to drive it” Old Lady: “My good man, were you wounded in action?” Private Flnnnerty (arm in sling). “No. ma’am, I was clennin 1 out the cage of the Colonel’s canary and the d bird bit me.” A visitor who wns being shown round the lake asked the guide how deep it was. “Well, sir,” was the reply, “we don’t know the actual depth, but last year a young Autraiian came here to bath, took his clothes off and dived in, and we never saw him again.” “And did you never hear from him again?” the visitor exclaimed in dismay. “Oh. yes,” replied the guide, “we had a cablegram from Australia asking us to send his clothes on.” . In a certain suburb there is a cottage, the door of which must be raised a lit tle to be opened, and for this purpose a hatchet is generally used. One night a knock came at the door and a young ster was sent to see Who it was thre. “Whot is it?” inquired the boy. “It’s me,” said a voice outside. The--youngster, reeonizing the voice, shouted back: “It’s Ijlrs. Murphy; get the hatchet.” Mrs. Murphy didn’t wait.

C., Feb. 8. —“'Farmers whose eoi-n crop was hurt last year, or who for other reasons wll used feed for horsea before another corn crop com es iu. will do. well to plant n few acre* of oats, right awny.--and not later than Febuary 15,” says C. H. Hudson, of the State (’ol’.ege Extension Service. "It will pay to plant this crop on fer tile soil,' not. only because it may not pay to plant it on thin soil, but, also, because tviU be removed from the land during fh*>last half of* May n time for p'antng corn, or corn with legumes on the same land, thus securing two crops during the year," continued Mr. Hudson. "The same land can be planted to grain, winter legumes, or other cover crops' next fall.” Mr Hudson also states that it is not necessary to give the land a deep-plow ing, but it, should be. thoroughly disked and gotten' in good condition. Some fer tilizer may be used, he said, but prob ably the best fertilization is 100 pounds of, nitrate cf soda per acre after the oats are up a few inches above the ground. "This application of nitrogen fertilizers may also be benefieitl to the, ■rops following.” The following vareties of oats were recommended by Mr. Hudson in the order named, the first being preferable to the others, he said: Hurt (Early May or 00-day onto), Fulghum, and Red Rust Proof, using about two bushels of seed per acre. Such a crop as this will help out materially in teeding the livestock, said Mr. Hudson, especial ly the horses, where last* year’s feed production was email.
