ASSEMBLY HOPES
TO FINISH WORK
BY TOMORROW
Kill Chain Store Tax Bill
and Specify Limit Drop
In Teachers' Salaries
Tax relief measures killed and the
future of the schools made uncertain,
the legislature this week is working
hard for adjournment. After appar
ently wasting one-half the year, the
assembly is now considering time very
valuable, passing or killing proposed
legislation overnight in an effort to
save a day. Chances for increased
taxes on chain stores were virtually
destroyed yesterday when the House
indefinitely postponed consideration of
the Day, I'aYker, and Young chain
store tax bill. Representative Day,
introducer of the bill, explained that
lie moved to have the bill indefinitely
postponed following conferences with
the Attorney General and revenue au
thorities, in which it was decided that
this late in the session the passage of
the bill might bring complications in
connection with the regular revenue
bill which carries a SSO per unit tax.
The bill proposed would have levied a
graduated tax from $5 to SIOO.
As a result of the action in tlie as
sembly yesterday, adjournment is pos
sible tomorrow.
The redisricting bill was much dis
cussed) several of the counties advanc
ing strongly their claim for a- senator,
Erwin, of Burke, bringing it out as a
straight fight between east and west,
with the former holding the lion's share
of representation and refusing to re
linquish it to the more populous west.
A heated argument was centered
round the salaries of teachers' the
House agreeing to limit reductions to.
10 per cent.

In the clinics conducted throughout

importance of property caring for one's
teeth.
Dr. Branch also stated while here

clinics conducted in each county of the
State annually instead of once every

By Local Firm
Valuable information was gained in
pKofitable hog raising recently when
two agricultural pupils of the Jamcs

Professor \Y. T. Overby, conducted
hog feeding contests. The contests
are creating much interest and the
boys, completing the tests already,
are very much pleased with the re

Several other boys are now working

Daniel Holliday, competing with
several other boys in the S-pije con
test, completed his tests recently,
i Young liolliday took his five pigs and
after determining their weight at .'sl
pounds, he fed them certain feeds for
60 days. At the end of the period he
again weighted the pigs, the five
weighing this time, MSH pounds. Aftor
[checking his records, he learned that
that the pigs had each gained a lit
tle over two pounds, each day during
the period, and tl(a't ,he had fattened
them at a total cost of $34.09. In
other words, young Holliday spent
$5.60 for every 100 pounds of weight
gained by each pig.
• Mack "Ange, another one of the
buys competing in the contest, start
ed with one pig weighing 107 pounds,
At the end of 60 days, the pig weigh
ed 26.1 pounds. The pig gained 2.6
pounds each day during the period for
a total gain of IS6 pounds. 'The cost
hi feeding the animal during the time
was $6.82 or $4.40 per iH) pounds.
The above tests apparently prove
that proper feeding will make possible
a profitable business in hog raising.
'Much interest has been shown by the
boys in the contesf, and worth-while
information is expected from the test
when they are all completed the lat

whether it has passed to let prosperity
