BAD WEATHER
OVER IN JONES
Polloeksville, March 31. We are
having some of the finest weather
for March ever recorded or remember
ed by the oldest people but by far
the coldest. The themometer has rang
ed from 25 to 40 degrees the month
through, with only four rains and
snows, very light except the last
one on the 29-30th, which is now 4
inches on a level.
The farmers have made good use
of the fine weather this month to
prepare their farms for another crop.
I notice there are more tobacco beds
than there has ever been before in this
county which means more tobacco
to he made and there will be an in
crease in corn and a smaller acreage
in cotton. There seems to be an awak
ing pf the farmers to the importance
of raising their home supphes which
has been so baddy .neglected in the
past. The present outlook for the
farmers is very hopeful and encour
aging.. . kVe hear a great deal of complaint
about the low price of cotton. This
low price of course is unfortunate
for. the cotton raiser, but think of
the tremendous' crop raised last year,
, j rtir nil,, l 1 . i . . . . , , ,
iu,fuu,vuu oaies ana conou at o 1-4
cents per pound seems a fair price.
When we remember when 13,000,000
bale crop sold from 5 to 7 cents and
there was no European war either.
The solution ie easy, raise home sup
plies, corn, peanuts, hay, oats, hogs,
mules and horses and1 we will not
need so much money.
We are glad the Carter-A hornet hy
investigation is over. About all we
hear is this subject around the busi
ness places, the postoffice and along
the streets. The European war has
about lost out in interest to the peo
ple. On last Saturday night the 27,
Mrs. ' Mark Henderson died at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Josiah
Henderson in this place after a long
term of suffering. She was the wife
of Mr. Mark Henderson of this place,
she leaves a husband, several sisters
and brothers, but no children. She
was a devoted christian woman, hav
ing been a member of the Primitive
Baptist church for many years.
Our cotton oil mill is running night
and day now and employs quite a
large force of laborers. We hope to
have some other enterprises started
here in another year. J XI H
We hear of a brick factory being
considered, a guano factory and a
hard wood factory. There is not a
better location for auoh enterprises
as these anywhere as we have good
transportation facilities both water
and-rail and we extend s cordial invitation-
to any such interpruing
investigators to eome see for them-
Along with other Noilh Carolina
cities and towns. New Bern Tuesday
night and yesterday morning re
ceived itb full share of the snow storm
which raged over the State. "The
Beautiful" began falling Tuesday
afternoon about 5 o'clock aod trom
then until midnight it came down
furiously. For half an hour or more
the fleecy flakes ceased to fall, then
the storm resumed in earnestness
snd for the next ten hours the down
fall was almost constant and it was
not until yesterday afternoon that
the flakes ceased to come down.
Rapidly Melted
It is estimated that at least eight
or nine inches of snow fell during the
storm but owing to the fact that the
ground was warm and wet, hut little
of this remained visible for any length
of time and this mornirg traces of
the downfall are few.
The storm played havoc with some
of. the telephone and telegiaph wires
in j this section. The Postal Tele
graph Company last night reported
thirty lines down between New Bern
and Washington and communica
tion was paralyzed over their lines.
The Western Union, having a lar
ger number of wires, were more for
tunate. ,o, , Other Places Hit.
Kinston, Goldsboro, Washington,
Wilmington, Raleigh and in fact
nearly every town in the atate, re
ported the depth of the snow as
ranging from four to twenty inches
and the temperature exceedingly low.
This is the first snow storm of the
season in this immediate section.
SHERIFF R. B. LANE
BREAKS RECORD
COLLECTING TAXES
More Than Twelve Thous
and Dollars Rolled In
Yesterday
'TWAS LAST DAY
List of Delinquents Will Be
Published Within Next
Day or Two
Twelve thousand, five hundred
dollars and seventy-four cents yester
day exchaneed hands between o.ti-
zens of ('raven bounty and Sheriff
R. B. Lane,, the former paying to the
latter their state and county taxes.
Yesterday was the last day of
grace for the delinquents and they
came in so fast that at times it was
almost impossible to get into the
Sheriff's office, so large was the
crowd and there was a steady stream
of greenbacks, silver, gold and checks
coming in over the counter.
On Monday Sheriff Lane collected
six thousand dollars and on Tuesday
did fairly well, but yesterday capped
the climax and the collections probab
ly eclipsed the tecord for any one day
in the history of the county and the
Sheriff is to be congratulated for the
excellent record he has made.
There are hundreds who have not
paid up, and their names will appear
on the list which will be published
within the next day or so. This list
is now in readiness and will be given
to the printer right away. Of course
those who rush to the Sheriff's office
and "eome across" early this morning
may succeed in keeping their names
out of the paper, but it will have to
be might quick work if they do this.

means the chainaaaship in ell sess

attend. Dr Joseph Hydge I'ratt
of Chapel Hill is sectary and in
place of Prof. M. H. Stacy, who was
was originally chosen from the Uni
versity, Prof. T. P. Hiekersou was
appointed. The committee as now
constituted is composed of Governor
Craig. Col. Bennehan Cameron, of
Durham, Guy V. Roberts of Marshall,
Madison county, E. C. Duncan of
Carteret county, though a resident
of Raleigh also; Prof. W. C. Riddick
of the A. 4. M. College and Prof.
T. K Hickerson of the University.
The regular meeting of the commiss
ion will be in January and July, but
called meetings are provided for in the
bill. This commission which was
created to advance good roads in
North Carolina, had as hard passage
as any that went before the general
assembly. Two placed among the
high priests of standpattism saved
the bill. They were Doughton, of
Alleghany and Bowie, of Ashe, speak
er of the House. It was upon this
bill that Bowie cast his first vote to
break a tie.
Of course the bill did not get
through in its original shape. It
was to have $30,000 but nobody
could muzzle the watch dogs of the
treasury and give brains a chance
to work out the State's salvation
from mud with fear and trembling.
Under the provisions of the bill not
only does the state have . a chance
to do some expert road building, but
it has an opportunity to apply for
its pro rata of the national act which
allots this state $650,000. It could
not have passed but for a compro
mise in the appropriation and a con
cession to party membership. Re
presentative Leonard, who is some
thing of a highway commission man.
made the Democrats give the act
a Republican representative and that's
how Mr. Duncan was named.
Appoints Commission
Governor Craig today appointed
the Mount Mitchell commission which
is to save the summit of the peak on
which Dr. Elisha Mitchell lost his
life in a scientific quest. This the
measure of Representative Deyton
of Yancey county and was made
possible by the workot Representative
Gallatin Roberts, ot Buncombe, who
was chairman of the. appropriations
committee. These would have had
small chance but for the advocacy
of Governor Craig who recommended
in his message that the state do some
thing to stop the devastation by fire
and axe.
The Governor had observed that
the mountain was being robbed of
its fine timber and that Where the
woodman had made his ravages the
fire had finished the work so that the
undergrowth never had a chance
to grow again. Governor Craig
persuaded the timber men to stop
their work until the legislature could
meet. He took chances on getting
the bill through.
It was hard fought but the stand
patters from the west did the work.
Yenn called it a $20,000 toy and Doug
lass an expensive dream. Notwith
standing all the irreverance the bill
with its twenty thousand dollaY ap
propriation went through.
The commission will be colnposed
of G. P. Deyton, of Green Mountain,
Yancey county, E. P. Watson and
M. C. Hunnicutt of Burnsville, Wil
son Hensley, of Ball Creek Yancey,
and T. Edgar Blackstock, of Ashe
ville. Governor Craig has written a
letter urging the commission to organize.
