ill the mountain counties ill the west-'
ern part of the state has been quite !
seriously damaged by the frost of;
April 23rd. according to preliminary
reports being received by the State j
department of agriculture. Word re
ceived from Mitchell county is that
virtually the entire crop there was 1
wiped out and that the frost and cold :
were so severe that the leaves on j
the threes were affected, and have I
turned black. Considerable damage !
wus also done in the vicinity of Mt. ;
Airy, blit the extent is not known. !
The department expects to send an 1
inspector to these districts sotfn to !
determine just what the damage has
been.
A member of the crop reporting set'-1
vice force is now making a survey j
of the peach orchards in the sand
hills in an effort to determine if the
frost damage there is really as bad
as was reported several weeks ago.

team has been preparing rather
strenuously this week for the last
match of the season before the state
meet in Greensboro May 6-7. The
I'rtisbyti‘ii;i i]s will match speed and
brawn against Duke University here
next Saturday afternoon in what
will bn one of the best encounters of
(his nature this season.
On a comparative basis, the Duke
men have a slight advantage over
the Davidson men, the former hav
ing defeated the Wake Forest outfit
by a larger score than that meted
out by the Wildcats here last Satur
day .afternoon. The two teams will
the fairly well matched, however, with
I Davidson probably leading in the
dashes. Currie and Good.vkoontz
being good for several firsts and
seconds.

held the century record mark of
Davidson College at 10 seconds Hat.
;but Currie was far in the lead of
' this sprinter when lie finished ill 9
7-10 seconds. (loodykbontz also set a
new record in the 220-yard dash last
year, but Currie has also lowered
that this season.
