G, as second class matter Reactionary "1117HILE it seems certain that statewide opposi- tion will defeat in committee a $50 tuition in crease in the three units of the University to cover a proposed decrease in maintenance appropriation recommended by the legislature s appropriation committee, the mere proposal carries grave signi ficance. To quote President Graham, speaking before the committee last Tuesday: "We would violate not only 'the spirit of the state Constitution, but we wouia violate tne spirit oi tne people n we oegan to make wealth more of a test of admission than character, ability, and merit." The university president said that 24 states in the Union grant free tuition to in-state students and that the Constitution of North Carolina laid down a policy of free tuition. "Other institutions that do not rank with our institution are spending more money than we are," Graham said. He warned the committee that undue economy in appropriating funds for the greater university might result in "social, intellectual and economic waste." Money .spent in research at the branches ' of the university, Graham predicted, will teach the state how to make "farms produce more for the men who woik in tne son" ana provide eventually a "higher standard of living" for the factory worker. He described his request as the "minimum" for which he could ask and "do the job we have to do." "Let's save what we have worked for for 145 in, who is lobbyist for the Hill. . TT-iof it-io n A t-t-ii 1-11 cf t-o t i rr actionary method of taxation, depriving many of the state's most valuable youth of the university's advantages, is not only unstatesmanlike but danger ously 'false economy, as President Graham points out. We hope the legislature will be wise enough to draw the necessary revenue for the decent support of education from sources that profit from the very assets that the university creates. Representative Pattern's Local Bills pEORGE B. PATTON, representative from Ma con county, has offered in the General Assem blv three local measures whidh are of nrime imnor- tance to Macon county. The first is a bill to repeal the act establishing a jury commission for Macon county. The law now in force is declared by many able lawyers to be un constitutional in that it sets a . maximum and a minimum upon the number of names required to be in the jury box. The general law of the state re quires that the names of all freeholders over 21 years of age, who are not exempt; by reason of oc cupation or other valid cause, shall be in the jury box, and the present local law is therefore in con flict because limits are prescribed. The second measure provides for the repeal of the act authorizing the appointment of a delinquent tax5 officer for the county and discontinuing the discount to early taxpayers. The first part of this act was declared invalid, but other sections have been in force, and the effect of repeal will be to put the collection of taxes back under the former law and resume the practice of allowing a discount to those who settle their taxes early in the fall. The third, act introduced by Representative Pat ton would prohibit the use of absentee ballots in either primary or general elections in Macon coun ty. There is no doubt that the absentee voting priv ilege has been abused in Macon, as it has in all other counties. There are charges of fraud after every election, and whether of not these charges are true, it would seem that to dispense with the absentee ballot altogether would do away with much of the after election hard feeling and dissatisfaction.

SIXTH GRADE IS FEEDING THE BIRDS All fiall the sixth grade, in; the elementary building, has enjoyed the singing of many beautiful birds. The children .enjoyed and appre ciated them so mlch that no bird on "this side of the hill" has been allowed to go hungry this winter. Wheat, rice, grits, oatmeal, and many other foods stand waiting, in abundance , to be placed on the ledge of the window for the birds. Every child is given a chance to help in this project. D. C.

Apparently, they've, never heard That sometimes checks come back! The mountains ? yes, of course, they're there, . In stately ranks surrounding; Whitesides, Satulah, Shortoff, too, A friendly pact compounding. Upon their wooded, foliaged flanks Are countless rhododendrons, Where summer homes withdraw from view, Where vines entwine their tendrons. Where irises and dahlias grow In rife and bold profusion; Azaleas crowd and dog-wood, too, In fragrant, sweet collusion. Oh land, so high above the vales, Whence come these questing peo ples, You give them life to carry back, To teeming marts and steeples! You lift their thoughts above the plane Of dull resentful living You plant instead within their souls A love and a forgiving. .'.

Three New Strawberry VArieties Certified Three new strawberry varieties, announced, last week by E. B. Morrow, horticulturist of the North Carolina agricultural experiment station at State college, as ready for commercial use in North Car olina, have been certified by the N. C. Crop Improvement associa tion. These are the first strawberry plants to be certified in North Car olina, and this state is believed to be the third in the nation to take this progressive step. A. D. Stuart,' State college seed specialist and secretary of the Crop Improvement association, says the certified plants are now available from J. L. Bnann of Whiteville, Route 4; Charles Dearing, of the Coastal Plain Test Farm at Wil lard; W. C. Fussell of Teacheys; and W. H. Rabbins of Burgaw. Of the three new varieties, the Eleanor Roosevelt is recommended iur commercial use inrougnoui inc state. The Fairmore and Daybreak are adapted especially to . Eastern North Carolina, the former being a commercial variety and the Day break a home garden and local market berry. Stuart said the fields of the four growers who have cooperated in testing the new varieties have been inspected at three intervals by a representative of the Crop Improve ment association, accompanied by a; representative of the State col lege experiment station. They have been ' found to be outstanding in yield and quality. Other growers may produce cer tified strawberry plants by com plying with regulations of the Crop Improvement association, which in clude the use of foundation stocks or of stocks approved for certifica tion by the North Carolina experi ment station.
