SALARY CUTS IN
COUNTY OFFICES
Commissioners S h a v e OIT
Around $10,000.00
Change Jail Management —
Sell Short Term Notes
The County Board of Commis
sioners has effected cuts in the
county administration to become
effective at once which in the run
of a year will total around ten
thousand dollars. Each elective of
fice in the courthouse has been
scrutinized, and salary cuts made
in each department.
l lie sriei iii >s uiuet* no wmni
the budget of last July appropriat
ed $13,315, is to be given $8,200
on which to operate. The sheriff’s
salary instead of $5500 will be
$4000. There will bo only one
office deputy at $1800 and one j
field deputy, J. O. Hinton who
will receive $2400 out of which
he must furnish his own car, and
pay other expenses.
The office of register of deeds i
has had :ts operating expense cut ■.
from $7,300 to 5,000. The salary
of the register is now $3,300 in
stead of $4,000; that of first j
deputy, $1,500 instead of $1,800;
and that of tin* second deputy,
$1,200 instead of $1,500.
The treasurer will receive $3,120 !
instead of $3,000, and his office [
help is paid out of this sum.
The auditor’s office will now
operate on $1,800 per year in
stead of $6,000, the salary of the
auditor himself to be $2,700 per
year, and the remaining $2,100
an allowance for help in the
office.
A change has been made in the
salary schedule of the clerk’s
office. Action taken last week left !
out the entire salary of a book- !
keeper, but a reconsideration of
this office at a meeting of the !
county commissioners this week ;
includes a bookkeeper but the
salary schedule is changed from i
a total of $8,400 for the entire I
force, as follows: clerk of it ho j
court, $3,500; first deputy, $1,800; :
second deputy, $900, and book
keeper, $1,200.
The management of the jail has j
been placed on a different basis,)
but it is not clear whether the \
change will effect any saving or l
not. The jailer was formerly paid j
$125 per month and sixty cents
per day for each prisoner. The
jailer now' receives a straight
sailary of $225 per month, and
the county will pay the grocery
bills.
Mr. Weaver, who has fired the
courthouse furnace for several
years, is to receive a raise in
wages, his monthly check in fu
ture to be $25 per month in
stead of $20. The negro janitors,
Jim and ‘Uncle’ Richmond, will
be paid the same, $50 per month
In addition to other items of
business transacted by the board
which was in session Tuesday and
a part of Wednesday of this week,
$180,000 wonth of short term
notes w'ere sold. There were two
bids: Bray Brothers and McDaniel I
Lewis an<l the award was made
to McDaniel Lewis.

State Supreme court, admin
istered the oath of office to
the senators in the legisla
ture. a contest over the seat
of Claude Canaday, Demo

Marion Lee was elected sena

with Dr. 11. I». Ivey. Presi

this protest out of order at

not been organized. It was
not brought to the senate’s

Ashley Smith Passes
Away Suddenly Here
^ es'terday afternoon baout
o'clock “Untie” Ashley Smith,
one of the oldest negro residents
of Smithfiold, dropped dead on
the porch of Isaac Woodard, the
colored undertaker of this city.
Funeral arrangements had not.
been made late last night.
1''he exact age of “Uncle” Ash
ley is not known but he was born
in slavery times, his mother,
Mary, having belonged to Mr.
Bryant Smith who lived just
across the river at the place
known as the Bar Harbour place.
Mr. Bryant Smith was an uncle
of Mrs. W. S. Stevens and Mrs.
Z. k. Martin, now of this city,
and aft^r the surrender, Mary
and her children went to live
with Mrs. Slovens’ and Mrs. Mar
tin’s father, Mr. Claude Sanders.
It was Mr. Sanders who paid
“Uncle” Ashley the first money
he ever earned. He paid him the
sum of $140 at one time, and
this was the nucleus of a con
siderable fortune which “Uncle”
Ashley finally accumulated. Jle
owned until a few years ago a
good bit of property in the
business section of this city.
“Uncle” Ashley has been a
good industrious, thrifty citizen,
and his passing will be noted
wiith regret by both white and
black.
J. .1. Love of Newton in Ca
tawba county made a profit of $20
per acre with his corn crop by
top-dressing it with Chilean ni
trate of soda, according ot a re
port by .1. W. Hendricks, county
girlhood ami was actively inter
ested in all phases of church work
until her death. She was the
leader in the organization of the
local church, her husband having
donated the lot upon which the
church stands.
Although a loyal and tireless
church woman, she was a mother
first of all. She was possessed of
that magnetic personality and dy
namic power that kept the home
lies strong. The love and devo
tion of her sons and daughters
and a wide circle of friends speak
more eloquently than words of her
great mother heart. Her spirit of
unselfishness was such that even
during her severest pain while
conscious her thoughts were of
the welfare of others rather than
of self. She repeatedly signified
her readiness and willingness to
die.
Hers was a hospitable and gen
erous nature and she had gather
ed about her a great company of
friends and admirers who came to
mingle their tears with those of
her loved ones. Her earthly body
is no more but her generous and
unselfish spirit remains to bless
those whose lives she touched and
carries on in the lives of her
children and loved ones.

Memorial Service
For Frances Jones
Local School Pays Beautiful
Tribute to Pupil Who "’as
Fatally Injured Last Week
One Qf the most impressive
services ever held in the school
auditorium here was the memor
ial service Tuesday morning at
!>:35 for Frances .Tones, a mem
ber of the eighth grade who was
fatally hurt lasit Friday afternoon
in an automobile accident.
The first number on ihe pro
gram was a saxaphone and in
strumental solo, “Abide With Me,”
[>y Bill Joe Austin and Miss
Maude Creech. After the scripture
reading, Walter Lassiter sang ”0
Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go,”
iind Cora Betts Gulley read the
following resolutions by the
•ighith grade:
"Whereas nn the founth (lav of
January, 1929, we were called to
mourn the death of our beloved
school mate, Frances Jones, who
was an honored and faithful mem
oir of the eighth grade, and who
started with us in the first grade
and who throughout all these
years of close association always
exhibited beautiful and unselfish
spirit, we believe tha,t she has
i-ained entrance to that life eter
nal which knows no sorrow;
“And Whereas, in her depart
ure, the Smithfield high school
las sustained a great loss in its
membership, the eighth grade a
faithful and worthy student, the
•(immunity a good citizen and the
homo u devoted daughter;
“Be it resolved, that we extend
to the bereaved family our deep
est sympathy and commend them
to Him who doeth all things well;
I hat a copy of these resolutions
>e sent by the eighth grade to
the bereaved family, a copy to the
Smithfield Herald for publication,
md a copy spread upon the min
ites of the eighth grade record
Signed: “EDWIN BROADHURST,
President.
•FRANK GORDON, Secretary.”
This was followed by a “Trib
ite of Love From the School,”
ead by Mrs. Harvey Boney. The
ribute was as follows:
“We, the teachers and student
>ody of Smithfield high school,
vish to pay loving tribute to the
nemory of Frances Jones who
vas snatched so suddenly from
ur midst on the fourth day of
he new year, yet like James
Vhitcomb Riley,
We cannot say and will not say,
she is dead;
^he is just away!
-Vith a cherry smile and a wave
of the hand
'he has wandered into the un
Known iana,
And lefit us dreaming how very
fair
It needs must be since she lin
gers there.’
“Her pretty, cheerful face was
an inspiration to all of the
school, and her sweet spirit was
never daunted. She was ever hope
ful of making better progress
next time. We can hear her as
she said after her notebook was
praised hy the class, ‘Surely that
will pull my grade up for next
time,’ arid again, we can hear her
say at noon time, ‘I love every
body.’
“It was Frances who discovered
that we needed to do some spec
ial cleaning of windows and black
boards in the library and who led
out in bringing cloths. and soap
with which to do this and who
with her friends spent extra time
after school hours to finish the
task begun. She was always will
ing and eager to run errands and
do some kindness though it took
part of her lunch hour. We shall
sadly miss her sweet presence in
the school—there will be
‘A face lost in the doorway,
A step missed on the stair/
“Her going away reminds us:
‘I am the resurrection and the
life.’
‘We cannot feel that she is far,
For near a,t need the angels are.’
“While weeping, we cease to
call her name on clasa; we may
be ccmforte<i in knowing that our
heavenly Father may comfort and
sustain her loved ones in her
