$2.00 PER YEAR
Defalcation Is
Settled In Part
Former County Attorney
Turns Over To Clerk of
Court $15,508.99 Paid
By Bonding Companies
For Adams And Keen.
/ -•
James D. Parker, former coun
ty attorney, delivered checks to
H. V. Rose, clerk of the court,
Tuesday, July 5, in the total
amount of $15,508.99 in the case
of the Board of Commissioners vs.
W. T. Adams, former register of
deeds, and J. A. Keen, former au
ditor.
The Maryland Casualty . Com
pany which signed both of the
auditor’s bonds and the bond of
the register of deeds for the sec
ond term was the heaviest loser.
The defalcation with interest
was more than the total penalty
of the bonds of the register of
deeds during both terms, the
amount padi by the Fidelity and
Deposit Company on Adams, first
term, was $5176.00 and one-half
of the cost amounting to $301.63.
This defendant has not yet paid
its part of the costs. The Mary
land Casualty Company paid for
Adams’ second bond the amount of
$5175.00 and $301.63 costs and an
addition^ amount on the audi
tor’s bonds of $4,857.36.
These checks were made pay
able to James D. Parker, the at
torney of record, and endorsed by
him to the clerk of the court. t
Hon. J. C. Clifford, the referee
made his report last August, and
the same was affirmed and judg
ment thereon as of the September
term of the Superior court, and
heard of in the Supreme court on
appeal this Spring.
Mr. Parker, former county at
torney, who brought the actions
and secured judgment in the Su
perior court, was requested to re
main in the case and appear in the
Supreme court with Mr. Paul D.
Grady, the present county attor
ney. •
The Good Things.
“The really good things—the big
things—are inside and not outside
the man. The big thing is not lux
ury, but contentment; not a big
house, but a big satisfaction; not
accumulated art treasurers, but a
tine art appreciation; not a big li
brary, but a serene studiousness;
not a big estate, but a large vis
ion. The big things are not the
things that are seen, but the things
that are not seen. Seek peace and
ensue it. Seek the things that are
above. Such indeed are the true,
goodly people.”—Dr. Jowett.
When Cotton Reports Appear.
“When will 1927 cotton reports
be issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture?”
A cotton report on July 9 will
give figures on the acreage of cot
ton in cultivation as of July 1.
Cotton reports on September 8
and December 8 will include esti
mates of acreage of cotton aban

City To Install
Stop And Go Sign
Town Board Seta Friday,
July 22 As- Time For
Public Hearing . On
Paving Assessments
Rolls
The acceptance of the street
paving assessment roll, the con
sideration of the licenses and deal
ers tax in compliance with the
‘state Revenue and Machinrey Acts
of 1927, the decision to purchase
a stop-and-go street sign, and the
refusal to allow another subscrip
tion dance without payment of the
fifty-dollar tax, were tlti high
spots of the July meeting of the
board of town commissioners held
Tuesday evening.
Perhaps the matter of most con
cern to a number of Smithfield
citizens was the paving assess
ment rolls which were prepared by
George J. Brooks, city engineer,
assessing the cost of the recent
street and sidewalk paving in the
town. This information • is now
open for public inspection at the
office of the city clerk and a pub
lic hearing will be granted by
the board of commissioners on
Friday evening, July 22, for the I
purpose of hearing all allegations \
and objections should there be
any in respect to the assessment
rolls.
The licenses and dealers tax
constitute a long; drawn out re
port covering: numerous items as '
sources of revenue for the town
treasury. Among; the changes
which wilL affect this city has to
do with pool rooms. The 1927
statute states that a twenty-five
dollar license is collected for
each pool or billiard table unless
operated by a fraternal organiza
tion having a national charter, by
the American Legion, by the Y.
M. C. A. or by a Y. W. C. A.
In accordance with a recommen
dation to the board by R. P. Hild
ing, chairman of the commi/ttee
who was to make proper investi- 1
gations, Smithfield is to take its1
place with other cities in the in
stallation of a ‘stop-and-go” sign, j
This ctiy makes a beginning by j
purchasing only one of these signs |
which will be placed on the cor
ner of Market and Third streets, i
This device is the invention of
Claude .Grantham, of Goldsboro, I
who for 29 years was city man- :
ager of that city. The sign which j
represents an outlay of about $200
will be instaled within the next 30 j
days.
A committee appeared before
the board and asked permission to
hold another subscription dance.
The motion never received a sec
ond, and therefore no action re
leasing* the $50 tax for such
dances was taken. N

HENDERSON, July 6.—Concen
tration of the central offices of the

held Monday at the orphanage at
I’layton, according* to R. S. Mc
Coin, of Henderson, past grand
chancellor of the State, and chair
man of the board of trustees of
the orphanage.
These two bids ordered the
transfer from Charlotte to the
orphanage premises in Clayton of
the office of the grand keeper of
records and seals, which office is
now being filled by George E. Lov
ell. A committee was appointed
to raise $10,000 for the purpose

J
Annual Dinner Is
Enjoyed In Kenly
Woman’s Club Entertains
Husbands And Liens
Club; Mrs. Thomas O’'
Berry, Mr. And Mrs.
Tom Bost Speakers.
KENLY, July 5.—On Friday
evening the Woman’s club enter
tained their husbands and mem- 1
bers of the Lions club at their an
nual dinner. They had as their
special guests, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas O’Berry of Goldsboro, and -
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Bost of Ral
eigh.
The dinner was served by the
home economics department of
which Mrs. L. C. Wilkinson is the
chairman. Covers were laid for 84.
Mrs. P. D. Grady, president of
Kenly Woman’s club, presided. •
Mr. P. D. Grady acted as toast ■
master, and in his usual original ;
and clever manner introduced the j
speakers for the evening*, who wer e I
Mrs. O’Berry, Mrs. Bost, Mr. Bost j
and Mrs. J. M. Woolard.
Mrs. O’Berry chose as her sub- j
ject the various activities of club '
work. She assured the husbands •
and Lions that the measures sup
ported by the women are the same j
as those supported by the mer.. \
She stated that there are two I
ways to test the value of women’s I
clubs. First, what the dub does I
for the individual, and what the
club does for the community. The :
individual is personally helped for
everything she does for the club.
Her work reacts on her home life. ]
The very standards for which the |
club stands help the community.
We believe in clean, healthy, and •
beautiful towns. The Woman’s j
club deals with human relation- ■
ships in every form. Mrs. O’Berry j
explained the work of each de- t
partment of the club. Through the j
civic department avenues leading J
into town are beautified, streets j
are kept clean, homes are made I
more beautiful, and living more
sanitary. She emphasized the bear
ing of the country’s and the na~ I
tion’s affairs on each one’s life, I
^assuring the men that the Worn- 3
an’s club does not endorse the can- t
didates for public office, but doc-s j
endorse the principles for which j
he stands.
Through the education depart- a
ment libraries have been started. |
Eighty per cent of the libraries in
the state were started by the
Woman’s clubs in North Carolina.
North Carolina has a high ra'
of adult illiteracy and the Worn
ans clubs are helping* to oblitera
this. The Sallie S. Cotton Loan
Fund has grown to over $12,000.
Last year fourteen girls were sent
to college and five to summer
school.
The American Home Depart f
ment has conducted cooking |
courses. Twenty-three hundre d |
women have had advantages ot 1
this department.
Mrs. W. T. Bost was the next ]
speaker. She brought greetings k
from headquarters. She fully ex- £
plained what the headquarters
stand for. The office stays open
nine months in the year. She as
sured the local club that it is go ui
business to have State Federation
headquarters.
Important files and records are
stored here. The Federation Bull-’
tion is published from this de
partment. It is a service bureau f li
the state clubs and has establish
