en d. 'finite defects in the financial ;
management of counly affairs, and 1
definite recommendations as to'
how to remedy these defects were!
presented Tuesday lu the State ;
Association of Comity Comtnis 1
sloners in annual convention here
by tlie Commission on county
government . named a year ago by
Governor A. W. McLean, to make
a study of county government In
North Carolina.
The first * nicest ion made as to
necessary changes to enable the
counties to improve tliejr met hods
of administration, is to have the
Board of County Commissioners
elected for u term longer than two
years, and have them so elected
that only one or two will retire in .
auy given year, thus preserving
continuity of business manage*
tuent. The Commission found
that the principal defects in coun
ty government existed in the fis
cal administration, and its report
dealt entirely with this phase of
the Biluatiou. Other recommen
dations made are:
1. Employment of if county
business manager, seh-cted by the
Board of County Commissioners,
at a salary fixed by them, to be in
full charge of co-ordinating the
county's financial affairs.
2. Creation of the office of Su
pervisor of Taxubles, selected and
salary fixed by the County Com
missioners, to keep an up-to-date
?f . /ill njiiir/u-s .of ryvoniio
tlons Of COUrtf* ' (O not* tfflpNlfr
meuts or depreciation, and other
uimllar duties.
:i. Employment of a tax collec
tor, selected and salary fixed by
?the Board of County Cominisslou
lers, with power to select his as
sistants. lie may be the sheriff,
or an entirely separate Individual,
whose duty It shall be to collect
the county revenue from all
sources.
A. employment of an auditor,
purchasing agent and treasurer,
select eil and salaries fixed by tho
Board of County CmnmlsHioners to
have full charge of their respec
tive departments.
ft. Employment of a custodian
of physical property. He may be
a member of the Board of Com
missioners, or a separate employe.
It was also recommended that
the Kegister of Deeds. Sheriff and
Clerk of Court be elected as at
present, and that the offices of
Surveyor, and Coroner be abol
ished, their duties to be per
formed by some person employed
by the commission, when neces
sary. Recommendation was also
made that the several boards, such
as the Hoard of Education, Board
of Health, and so forth, should be
required to report annually to the
County Commissioners, on how
the money appropriated to each
had been spent, and what service
had he??n performed as a result.
No change is recommended in the
present county machinery for lh"
preservation of law and order.
Concerning the relation of the
State to the county government,
five recommendations are mad- as
follows:
1. That the Central Assembly
should make It possible by statute
for any county to adopt and main
tain an Improved form of local
government, suitable to the needs
?if the county.
| ?. That the General Assembly
fadopt a policy prohibiting an In
dividual member of the legisla
ture from interfering with the gov
ernment of his county, unless It
shall appear that the change Is
demanded by the whole people of
the county and Is Jn the Interest
of better local government.
'A. That the Oenff-sl Assembly
should set up a Stat* Department
of Finance and Accounting to aid
the counties In Instituting better
fiscal methods.
That the flcneral Assembly
should provide for the preparation
of a code of county government
law and n manual on county gov
ernment for the aid of county of
ficials In carrying out the law and
safeguarding the county.
It was also recommended that
the Board of County Commission
ers have the power to discharge
any official who violates the prin
ciples of the county government,
with the provision that the dis
charged official should have the
ripht of appeal to the ' Superior
Court.

Washington. Aug. 11. Ohio's
i primary Tuesday in of real import-!
ance to the Democratic party and
? possibly |u (lie Republicans. It
' may furuish a Presidential can
didate. For If Former Senator
Atlec Pomerene Is nominated he
will clw Senator Willis, Kepiihli
ican. a close fight. Should he be
I victorious in the election, the Ohio
[and middle western Democracy
; would be strong for Mr. Poniereii*1
'at the next National convention,
j Karl) reports are that Poiue
ri ne has a slight lead over Iiik op*
Iponent, Mrs. Florence K. Allen.
Mr. I'omereut' is regarded by :
? Republican* as well as Democrats j
'as a strong vote getter. lie has'
< HtreuKth among the Republican
business men In Ohio as well a*
! the wets because of his outspoken ,
stand against dictation either by
' labor union or the Anti-Saloon
? League in shaping his course while j
j in the I'nited States Senate.
Mr. Pomerene was appointed
|spctial counsel by 1'residetu Cool- 1
j idge to prosecute the Teapot Dome ,
Oil cases in the Federal courts. He
was always looked upon here as1
lone of the strongest of the Dem
ocratic senators. The reports
.reaching here are to the effect
'and that he has done little cam
paigning. Those who luduced
j him to enter the race urged It on
jtbe ground that an election would
I mean his certain consideration for
j I he Presidency In 1928.
In Ohio the "wet" elements are
(anxious to defeat Senator Willis.1
jTlie Democrats have in recent ;
years been In almost continuous 1
j control of the st-ate government.
In fact since 1900, the Republi
cans have carried the state only I
twice for governor. The same ,
state voted Democratic for Presi
dent not only In 1912 when tlie
"hull Moos?" arty was splitting
the Hcpub. . ,i vote, but In 1916
when the Republican party was
; united and when Indiana on the
one side and practically every slate
least of the Mississippi cast Its elec
toral votes for Mr. Hughes.
Mr. Willis is somewhat on the
defensive in his race, for the Sen
ate because of the charges before
jtbe Senate investigating comnilt
j tee that he received fees for,
speaking in favor of prohibition.
The "wets" have made the most of 1
(this. Also they have a wcll-de- !
j fined feeling thnt if the wet Issue'
were Injected in Ohio nt this time'
there would be evidence of a,
change of sentiment as this slate
has always been nip and tuck be
tween the wets and drys In stale
elections.
Mr. Willis has always been a
staunch supporter of President
C'oolidge and will revive the full
measure of the administration's |
stipporf. The cry will lie raised j
that the loss of any Republican !
seats iu the Senate will embarrass
'Mr. Coolldge in the second half of I
his present term.
Under the circumstances if Mr. j
Pomerene were to win out. he
would he a different man to defeat i
for the Democratic nomination In I
( 1 9 2 K . It Is Interesting to note.
? that William (J. McAdoo came out j
In favor of Judge Florence Allen,
who has been Mr. Pomerene * rival f
for the Democratic nomination.
jThJs may or may not be a factor
i later on In determlng the line up
| of the different groups of Demo- 1
; crats In Ohio. Mr. Pomerene!
j fought Mr. McAdoo and bis lieu- j
tenant* lu the state so the en
dorsement by Mr. McAdoo of Mr
j Pomcrpne'a opponent was consid
ered Somewhat lu the nature of I
| retaliation. For these reasons the
i Ohio Senatorial contest may tnke
; rank with the race In Massachu- J
setts *nd New York from the view
point, of Presidential politics. j

The* J. B. Fearing estate, lust
of tln> ante-bellum plantations In
IUiIk oily. In about to go the way
| of JtH predecessors, a victim to tho
! rapidly increasing resident lal
needs of Elizabeth City, and to
the circumstance that it must ln
divlded among a number of heirs.
TIiIh picturesque old idantutlou of
55 acres, dating to far -before tin
(Civil War, Ih to become a resld in
itial subdivision In the early fu
ture. It Ik to lie divided into lots
and Hold at auction on Monday,
September 1U.
Tin- estate is situated on tin
' south shore of I'aniiuotaiik Itlvr.
In the grateful shade of IIh wide
spreading anch-nt elms, at thin
season of the year oue may sit
and meditate upon the glories o|
another era, and of those stirring'
days In the Civil War when Fed
eral gunboat* reduced Fort Folly,
'scarce a mile down the river, l?e
I fore occupying Elizabeth City.
The home Itself, situated in the
'depth* of a grove a century old.
Is crowned with the aura of the|
Old South. It is of tin- two-story
type generally In vogue with the
aristocracy of those days, having
broad verandas at front and bark,
and still breathes the dignity and
charm of half a century ago. The
home Is still In a good state of,
preservation, though the Twen-j
tleth Century has crept Inside,
with Its electric limits und modern !
furniture, and has robbed it of1
something of Its charm, at least
from the standpoint of the antl-'
quarlan.
( "Ity lla* (Inmrn Around
The home is situated on Itlver-il
side avenue, commanding; a beaut i- i
ful view of the river, still unob
structed despite the fact that,
years neo, the city grew up to and .
'around the 5G acre* of the estate
on the three landwa.rd sides, ami
now .extend* nearly a mile beyond j
It. Serenely It stood while gener-j
ations came and went; but at last
It must yield to the demand of
the city for room in which to
grow. Already the estate has'
been platted In anticipation of tie
day when it will pass Into history,
with the clang of the auctioneer'* j
hammer as Its funeral dirge.
For more than a century, the
Fearing family has occupied an Il
lustrious place In the life of
Northeastern North Carolina. The ;
first of the line to settle here was 1
Isaiah Fearing, a Massachusetts
seafaring man, who was captured
by a llritlsh privateer In the War
of 1812, wa* taken to England as'
a prisoner of war. and was landed i
at Cape Charles, Virginia, by thel
British at the close of hostilities. ,
Came Here by tTmiH*
More or less by chance, thin
Isaiah Fearing made his way here
from Norfolk over the old King'*
Highway which connected Tide- j
water Virginia with the Albemarle
district. He married here, and '
reared a large family. One of hi* '
sons, John Bartlett Fearing, ac- j
quired the present J. B. Fearing
estate In 1841, and built the home
a few years later.
It was after the Battle of Hoan- j
oke Island. In 1862, that the Fed j
