ALEXANDER HIDDENITE MINE OPENED AGAIN Is Only Place in World Where Pre cious Hidden it e Gems Are to Be Found. Statesville, Nov. 16.—Announce ment that the old hiddenite mine iu Alexander county has been re-ojieiml and is again producing the most valua ble precious stones in the world will be of general interest. Hiddenite, a gem of rare beauty and of great commercial value, is not produced in the world except in Alex ander county. The Inrger gems cut from the crystals possess a value es timated at five times that of the fin | est diamond. Following Hie accidental discovery of this unique gem about 45 years i ago, it was mined rather extensively ! for some time, but operations ceased later on account of its scarcity niid lof the great expense in mining. Af | ter remaining inactive for several dec i ades, the old mine was re-opened the i first of the year 1926. For nearly ten ; months boring and blasting into the gray granite of extraordinary hardneas brought little encouragement to the operators. But a thrill went through j the little town of Hiddenite when it was announced, on the 19th of Oc tober. 1926, that a pocket lined with quarts crystals in which were em bedded several hiddenite gems had been exposed. Since that time a number 1 of these rare gems, which have been II identified as genuine hiddenite by former State Geologist Joseph Hyde Pratt, have been found. Nogreaa la ItuHctrd For Starving Child.

WORLD WAR VETERAN ACT Now That Is is Passed, What Is Go ing to Be Done With It? Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Nov. 17. —Now that the world war veterans' loan act has passed by a majority ranging from 30,000 to 40,006, what is going to be done with it? Who is going to get the job of commissioner, with the salary of $3,- (500 « year that goes with it? Who yvill get the other incidental jobs at tached to k. and will the (aw jMpfk , nred veterans entitled to benefit by ’ the act take advantage of it, or will the $2,000,000 loan fund crented by 1 the act go begging, and cobwebs gath er on the swivel chair of the com missioner for lack of borrowers? These are a few of the questions being asked as the result of the as surance that the loan act has been , enacted. And nltliough the exact numltcr of votes cast for the act will not be known until next Tuesday ; tvhen the State board of elections inrots to count and certify the votes, it is a foregone conclusion that the act carried. So as aoon as the act has been cer tified as having been enacted, the ma chinery for the administration of the act can immediately be set up and the $2,000;000 in bonds issued, since the power to do this is vested in the advisory Board; named’ irl-thh act, con sisting of .the secretary of state, the ex-official chairman, the commission er of agricuture, the attorney general, the commissioner Os labor and print ing and the treasurer of the State of North Carolina, who will also be the ex-officio treasurer of the loan : fund. Many people seemed to have the idea that these bonds could not lie issued until authorized by the leg . islature, but this is incorrect, since the act itself authorizes the board of advisers to issue the bonds independ ; cntly. Another interesting feature is that these bonds do not even have to be approved by the eouneil of state, wniA in all other eases must pass on all bond issues or sales of state bonds. In fact, some arc already beginning i to question the full legality of the act ■ on this very point, declaring that it is very irregular to grant so much authority to ah advisory board, with i no check whatever on it. No other dei>artment, commission or state agen > cy is impowered to Issue bonds in the I name of the state independently and ■ without supervision, consequently why 1 should this advisory board be einpow- I ered to issue $2,000,000 in state bonds • without the supervision of the council of state? Yet, according to the act which has Jllirt been ratified by vote of the peoJ>le, ; thin is the case. That this Will be an expensive act s to administer la conceded by all those * who tore examined it. In fact, the r act in reality sets up a bank with > available capital of $2,000,000 to loan 1 loan to world war veterans in sums 1 of not exceeding $3,000 for a term of • years not exceeding 20. And these * loans must be secured by property at i not more than 73 per cent, of its real > value. Consequently the commission - er of this act must be familiar with banking in all its phases and he will in reality have the same duties to perform as If he were president of a ( $2,000,000 bank, although all the loans - made must be approved by the ad i visory board. , The commissioner will r undoubtedly have to have an assistant l commissioner hnd a go6d sized staff -of stepsgrtphera, bookkeepers and oth e er assistants, so thht the outlay for i> salaries bedides tike $3,500 salary of '. the cotnmiaaiojter Wjtl be considerable, e And here comes another rub.

Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. Nov. 17.—Although the budget hearings of the various state institutions before the advisory budget hearing were scheduled to dose today, these hearings probably will not be completed before Saturday, Governor McLean announces, owing to inability to keep the hearings within the time allotted. Because of the illness of Dr. J. I. Foust', president of the North Carolina College for Women, the bud get needs of this institution have not yet been heard, and there are a num ber of department whose needs have not yet been considered. Today four institutions are to be lieai-d, namely the State Home and Industrial School for Girls, the Con federate Women’s Home. Caswell Training School and the State pris on. Yesterday the estimated needs for maintenance and permanent improve ments for the Stonewall Jackson Training Srtiool, the North Carolina Soldiers Home, the Oxford Orphanage and the Oxford Colored Orphanage were taken up. A cypress tree growing in a churchyard near Mitla, in the Mexi cgn State of Oaxaca, is said to be over 0.000 years old. and it is some times referred to as the oldest living thing on the earth today. these expenses, shall be paid but of the general fund of the state. But the legislature of 1025, in passing the budget aet, repealed all laws in con flict with the budget net, putting all expenditures from the general fund Under the supervision of the budget bureau. Thus the budget bureau will have something to say about the size of the expenditures for'the adminis tration of the loan aet, though the act was drawn before the budget act was passed. No names have been mentioned pub licly as yet as possibilities for ap pointment as commissioner of the fund and some doubts arc being expressed as to whether a man of sufficient abil ity aud experience in the banking field can be obtained for a salary of but $3,500 a year, since bank presi dents and executives usually receive more than this amount.

Sir Wttr Jtttri.' 1 Raleigh, Nov- 17.—One hundred and twenty-five deaths from violence in October! And of this number, automobile accidents caused .‘lB deaths and homicides IS deaths! This is tile score recorded against violence in the state as revealed today by the Department of Vital Statistics, of the State board of health. However, in most of the individual eases, the number of deaths during October represents a decrease rather than an increase. For instance, the largest number of deaths recorded from automobile accidents in any one months was in August, where there were 50 people killed in automobile accidents. Likewise, the largest num ber of homicides recorded in any one month was in May. when there were 24. The highest record set during October is for "gunshot doubtful" ac cidents. with 12 deaths, believed due to accidental gunshot wounds. The beginning of the hunting season prob ably had something to do with the in crease in this list. An increase is also noted in the number of deaths from burns, wrtb 17 in October. 11l August there were but six deaths from this cause, the 'smallest number for the year. The deaths from burns always increase in the winter months, owing to the ’urge number of open tires used, with the consequent increased danger to children. Accident:tl drownings are on the de crease. naturally, owing to colder weather and the passing of the "swim ming season." so that there were our seven drownings in October as com pared with IS in July. There was but one death from lightening the ■met months, hile in July there were four. There were 11 deaths in railroad accidents in October, but only four dentils from railroad crossing acci dents. that is railroad and automobile accidents. This is 'below the maxi mum for any one months, as there were 15 fatal rail accidents in Fobru ary, and nine deaths from crossing accidents ill August. There were 12 suicides in October, compared with 10 in July, and eight dcntlis from accidental gunsnot wounds, a decrease from the maxi mum of 11 in January.
