'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.

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 i?;ai> classified ADS TODA YANI?

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.
