The revenue of ficers front North Carolina had ar rested two men in the Moccasin District in Rabun County, Ga., for selling illicit whiskey about High lands, and had them in a room of the hotel in Highlands" under guard. Intelligence was received after dark that a party was ap proaching Highlands for the pur pose of rescueing the prisoneers, and preparations were made for defense by darkening the room where the prisoneers were kept, and pla'cing lamps in such positions as to light the street in front of the hotel, and setting a watch for the approach of the party. About 8 o'clock a party of eight arrived and commenced firing into the ho tel. The fire was returned by the guard and one of the party was killed and three others wounded. Two of the party entered the hotel to rescue the prisoneers and were captured. The firing lasted about fifteen minutes when the party re tired leaving the dead man behind. On the next morning the prisoneers were taken to Webster."

This was the significant state ment made by W. Warren Wat son of Hyde County, president of the State Farmers Convention, in his' recent address to the conven tion delegates at State College. "It appears to me"; said Mr. Watson, "that we should give con sideration to those matters and things vitally affecting the State generally for they -will surely af fect the agricultural interests which represent 52 per cent of the State's industry. It is being generally understood that the personnel of the incoming General Assembly is, by a good majority, favorable" to the repeal of the advalorem tax for the six months school term. Now that the State has taken over the roads and the schools, then why not let the State assume the Requests Pardon Zachary To Ask Governor To Set Him Free Wiley Zachary, whose sentence to the county roads for letting fire to the woods wai stayed last fort night through the pleat of his daughter, Mrs. Agnei Higgins, hat not yet been sent to the roads and will appeal to the Governor for a pardon. ' Protesting his innocence, Mr. Zachary refused to pay a fine Im posed for his alleged misdemeanor. He said that; he was not guilty and that he wouldn't admit that he was guilty by paying it He was, he admitted, in the habit of setting fire to his own. woods, like most Macon County farmers, who believe that this improves the soil A petition for his pardon by the Governor is now being prepared. In the meantime, Mr. Zachary is in the county jail Cocci-Cola Official Buys in Highlands Veasey Rainwater, official of the Coco-Cola Bottling company of At lanta, recently acquired seventeen acres of the top of Little Yellow Mountain and eight acres of the Highlands Estates property.

Mr. Wafson also , advocated the State is assuming the burden of debt incurred by counties and spe cial school districts in building state-regulated - types .'. of school buildings. He said the State should take over the various ro.nl . mi) bridge' bond issues where the mon ey had been legally and lawfully expended for certain roads. As to salary cuts, he declared this shtvtM be done evenly and that if. the General Assembly should create any new offices the officer ; em ployed should be subject to such a cut as well as the lowlies employee. ihe turther consolidation and centralization of all bureaus missions and offices should be ef fected in the various counties and the state government, in an effort to save tax money in this emer gency, he said. a Increac S3 Reports Show Disease Is Threatening State v, "Pellagra has just issued its chal lenge to the people of North'Caro- lina and the fight is on. Already mort cases of this disease have been reported to the State Board of Health during the first eighteen days of this month than were re ported in the State during the whole month of August 1931, and there is every indication that this dread disease will reach even great er proportions during the coming fall 'I and winter months." Thus briefly, Dr. J. M. Parrott-State Health .Officer, sums np..the" pres ent pellagra situation in North Carolina. Dr. Parrott goes on to say that pellagra is . a disease caused by eating a diet deficient in certain food Ielements contained principal ly in leafy vegetables such as tur nip greens, collards, cabbage, kale, mustard, lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs milk and buttermilk. Other foods also may . be eaten- to suc cessfully combat the disease or effect its cure, if it has not reach ed such an . advanced . stage that it is incurable. Further commenting upon the subject Dr. Parrott says, "Now is an ideal time to start waging the fight against pellagra which usual ly reaches the peak of its nower during the. months of May and June, because the next two or three weeks is the time when most North Carolinians will start planting their fall gardens. I cannot urge too strongly at this time that a sup ply 'of turnips, collards, cabbage, mustard and similar leafy vegeta bles sufficient to last until spring vegetables are obtainable be includ ed in the list of items planted.
