STATE NEEDS 10 DAVE A CAPITAL £.V£B£XX,^SUGGESTS CAPITALIZ IN'. GOVERNMENT TO AVOID BORROWING. BONDISSUE WOULD PROVIDE Says Thsre Isn’t a Corporation In the State That Has No Capital Stock. Raleigh. "The State is the only corporation I know of operating without capital, and I can't see' why it wouldn't he a good idea for us to borrow about five million dollars and provide a sinking fund to retire the debt,” declared sec retary of State W. N. Rc ere it, who has been thinking a good deai about financing the commonwealth here of late. “We have depended on current rev enues for current expenses e\©r since? the colony was established two hun dred years ago-—borrowing jn antici pation of revenues, and never being in very good shape financially. I be lieve we ought to have an operating capital ot at least li e million dollars t.o .eliminate the necessity of borrow ing so much mo: y.” There isn't corporation i»., the State that has >o capital stock. Mr. Everett points out. Nobody going into business will depend^entirely on his income to finance his business, and It ought to be the same with public bus iness. The State ought to have some capital to go on.' and a bond issue that could be liquidated j;in a few years would provide a revolving capi tal. In the days before the income tax for State revenues, the inceftie period was distributed pretty well over the entire year and it was not usual that any great sqm of money b,ad to be borrowed. But since the State no longer levies a property tax, the in come period is scarcely six weeks in length' and the .rest of the year the State must borrow in anticipation of revenues. 'Bonds might be sold for a small rate of interest, which -would offset the larger interest rate that is re quired-for small borrowings, , over a period of ten months. He has not yet arrived at the point of advocacy of the matter as-a legislative policy, but fc® does think that it might work to the advantage of the State to have some capital to do business on. Rush Printing of Advance Sheets. R. C. Strong, reporter of the Su preme Court, announces that he has made arrangements with the printers • who are getting out advanced sheets of the court reports to give the print ing of these advance sheets prefer ence over the .other work in their establishment and will have the pam phlets ready for distribution in six days or less from the time they re ceive the proofs except for delays not attributable, to them. This will en able the Reporter to.have these pam phlets in the hands of the profession very soon after they ar,e handed down by,the court, in weekly issues. Governor Issue6 Appeal for-Japan. Generous contribution for the re lief of the desolated peoples of Japan thouid be North Caroiinla’s expression of appreciation for the unusual ma terial blessings that have come to the people of the State declares Gover nor Morrison in a proclamation issued calling upon the people to respond to the call of the Red Cross for aid to the earthquake sufferers. ., First to come to the aid of the suf ferers in a similar disaster in San F'rancisco 17 years ago was the Jap anese Red Cross Society, through which the American organizations will work in the distribution of the five millions asked for the relief work. Little difficulty is anticipated in rais ing the county, State and national quotas, with five million as the ag gregate total. The Red Cross appeal is as follows: ’ 1 “Stupendous disaster to Japan ne cessitates appeal to all the people qf this country. President's proclama tiofi places responsibility of repre senting America in this crisis upon Red Cross chapters. . Nation asked for at least five millions and North Carolina twenty-five thousand of that amount. Enlist war-time workers and co-operation of ajl organizations in making immediate urgent systematic appeal to your community. Wire esti mate of representative committee what amount your city will give and beginning Thursday wire daily total contributions to date.” Hagwood Given Parole. * Executive clemency was extended by Governor Morrison to Reuben S.

Old Trinity College, in which a State high school has been maintained for some years Old Trinity, Ran dolph county, hag been condemned by Special Agent Brpckwell, of the State Insurance Department, after brief in spection of the building by him. Ac cording to his posted notice, the lower floor of the building can be used but none of the upper floors, tyhich in cludes the two big, auditoriums, until the defects are remedied. It is stated that the west wall of the building is out of plumb and pos sibly dangerous,'but the main defect noted was that there are not sufficient means of egress from the upper floors, though there are three broad stair ways leading downward from the main auditorium which is on the second floor. The action of the. insurance depart ment’s agent has caused consterna tion in the community in view of the fact that the school, with 13 teachers, is scheduled to open for the fall term September 17, and the lower floor of the building is sufficient for not more than half of the school. It is probable that some adjacent house will be used for the other grades. The main problem developed is that when the building ceases to be used for school purposes, it is said, the en tire property, including about 15 acres of land, will revert to the heirB of James Leach, who originally granted the land to Trinity College in trust for the maintenance of a school, the prop erty having been sold by Trinity Col lege five years ago. to the Randolph coupty board of education. There is much criticism of the con demnation proceedings just before the opening of the school, but it is claimed that the whole matter can be remedied by, prompt and proper action of the school authorities in remedying the defects. Many Chickens at State Fair. A, G. Oliver, State poultry extension agent, has gone and done it. He has gathered together some $2,700 in prizes for the poultry division of the North Carolina State Fair to say noth ing of five hundred dollars that are offered membert of the boys’ and girl’s poultry clubs. That would be a sizable achieve ment in itself; but Oliver has done more. He has gotten more than a thousand dollars for the special classi fication that is open to all comers, and some of the biggest and best poultry breeders in the country have entered exhibits for the fair. Of course, they have an eye out for some blue ribbons and honors, but the money is also a real attraction. General Manager E. V. Walborn, who has been going to State fairs over the" country for quite a while, says that the poultry show this year will be just about the best of any of the State fairs. And he denies that he is trying to “string' anybody for what are 1 known to the trade as "string’’ fowl ex hibitors are barred from the State Fair. By “string’' poultry shows is understood those exhibits that ■ the fairs pay to get. Plan Development of Pigeon River. Washington, (Special.)—Plans for the ultimate development of a pro ject on the Big Pigeon river in N^rth Carolina to produce about 150,000 horsepower have been filed with the Federal Power Commission by the Pigeon River Company in connec tion with its application for a Federal license. The project will be located near the North Carolina-Tennessee State line. A dirersien dam and tun nel will comprise the initial develop ment to produce 50,000 horse power. MEET NEXT TEAR . Ill PEN CITY TAR HEEL CONFEDERATES CON CLUDE SESSIONS IN^WIN STON-SALEM. SMITH AGAIN COMMANOEB Last Surviving Member ®f Staff of General Lee Discusses Grtat, Southern Chieftain. Winston-Salem.—After deciding to .hold the 17th annual reunion in Char lotte and electing officers, tl\o Nort i Carolina Confederate veterans closed their final business session. The reg istration showed over 1,100 Tar Heel soldiers in attendance, besides a num ber of visitors from Virginia. It was generally conceded to have Deen the very best and one of the most inter esting conventions yet held. General William A. Smith, of An sonville, was re elected commander in-chief by unanimous vote. Brigade commander chosen includes: first bri gade, A. H. Boyden. Salisbury; second, P. J. Alston, Louisburg; third, Geonge H. Hall, Red Springe; fourth. James W. Goodwin, Asheville. The concluding prayer, which was a beautiful invocation, was offered by Major Giles Buckner Cooke; the last survivor of Gen. Robert E. Lee's staff, who is also an Episcopal minister. In presenting the invitation of Char lotte for the reunion to be held there next year, Clarence Kuester assured the veterans that Charlotte be warmly received in the city that holds the title of being the birthplace of American in dependence. He assures the veterans , that Charlotte loves them and is anx ious to have them in the city again. He stated that it has been 14 years since a reunion Lad been held in that city. After Mr. Kuester had finished speaking a yeteran arose back in the nail and said: “Yes, we want to go to Charlotte, because it was there in May, 1877, that I married the sweetest woman in the world. She left me two months ago.’’ And then he broke down and wept. Mre. J. A. Yarbrough In her words of invitation to come to Charlotte said that the second largest city in the state would welcome the survivors of the Confederacy with open arms and would do everything possible.to make their stay pleasant. Two Killed When Auto Turns Over. Charlotte.—John Graham, veteran printer of the city, and make-up man in the composing rooms of the Char lotte Observer, aged 59 years, and John Clemmer. 24 years old, of Besse mer City, were killed and Crawford Phifer, J. T. McGhee, Naval recruit ing officer of this city, and C. B. Carpenter, of Bessemer City, were se riously injured'as a result of an auto mobile accident near the Hoskins Drug Store. Graham and Clemmer were killed instantly. The other men are in the hospital. It is said the cars were racing when the one in which were Graham and Clemmer, struck a ditch and the too sudden appliance of brakes caused it to turn turtle. Graham had been con nected with the Charlotte Observer and Charlotte News for 25 years or more. Four Counties To Build Bridge. Lexington.—Four counties would be united by a bridge which residents of Davidson, Montgomery, Stanly and Rowan counties within a radius of fif teen or twenty miles are seeking to have placed across the Yadkin River at Stokes Ferry at a point where the four counties join, twenty-five miles south of here. A delegation from that section was heard with favor by the Davidson county road board, after the board’s of Stanley and Montgomery had com mended the proposal. Rowan will also be asked to take a favorable stand. Sam L. Smith, postmaster and sta | tion agent at Tuckertown, was spokes man for the group here pointed out that the territory near the ferry has to go thirty-five to forty miles to reach the nearest river bridge. If the bridge should be built It would be unique in that it would prac tically cross the spot in the middle of the river where the counties of Da vidson, Rowan, Stanly and Montgom ery corner. It is only about 600 feet across the river at this point, it being but a short distance above the Nar rows of the Yadkin. Short Circuit Kills Horses and Mules. Laurinburg.—Two horses and two mules were killed here at a cotton gin as the result, it is said, of a short cir cuit. A storm came up and the current wae cut off. After the storm passed over the switch w*as thrown back in and instantly the whole earth seemed to become charged. The animals were killed instantly. It was thought for a short time that a driver standing on the ground was also dead but prompt arrival of physicians soon ro stered him to life.

The fire was discovered shortly after its blaze had started, but the building having much veneering stored in the main plant the fire spread so rapidly that the building was soon all in flames and it was impossible for the fighters to make further headway than to save adjoining buildings. The Henderson Veneering and Manufac turing company was only located in the city a few months ago and had just gotten a good headway into the manufacture cf coat hangers and trunk pannels.

Dr. Cory is a former army chaplain. He served in the First infantry. He is the au thor of several popular novel*. DAIRY !1 FACTS ■ Dairy Cows Respond to Good Feed and Treatment A dairy cow will respond to good feeding mid good treatment, perhaps better than any other farm animat Each Individual dairy cow should bs a unit by herself. Unlike other farm inimnls, dairy cows cannot be efficient ly fed in a feed lot, as the require ments for each cow may be different. The best feed for dairy cows is an abundance of pasture grass when that Is available. A good pasture provides t balanced ration. Some high-produc ing cows will require a little grain as a supplement to pasture. , During the time of the year when s food pasture Is not available, a cow tan be fed efficiently by providing: 1. An abundance of palatable feed. 2. A balanced rntlon. 3. Succulent feed. 4. A moderate temperature 1b barn. It. Comfortable surroundings. A dairy cow is feff for the following purposes: 1. For maintaining the body. 2. To supply material for milk. 8. For development of fetus. 4. For growth of animal, if imma ture. 5. At times to produce gain in weight. Three general classes of food mate rial are required for feeding cows: 1. Erqtein or nitrogenous material. 2. Carbohydrates and fat to supply heat and energy. 3. Ash or mineral matter. A wgil-batanced dairy ration will contain the above food material in the proper proportions. In' making up a feed for dairy cows, it is usually most convenient to balance the roughage and concentrates separately and then i I feed all the roughness each cow will ! eat and h cl just the grain mixture to ! the amount of milk or butterfut pro duced by the cow. A good general rule to use as a guide in feeding is to feed from one fourth to one-half as much of a bal anced grain mixture per day ns the cow gives milk per day. Cows giving rich milk usually give less per day but need a. little more grain in profror I tion of the milk.—A. C. Baer, Profes sor of Dairying, Oklahoma A. and M. | College. Summer Suggestions on Care of Dairy Utensils It Is more or less difficult to give adequate care to the dairy utensils during the summer months. This Is due to the fact that hot scalding wa- j ter or steam Is more troublesome to obtain. Proper care of taese utensi Is important during the summer months due to the temperature which favors the multiplication ©f bacteria. In the production of high-grade milk It Is necessary that all utensils be thoroughly cleaned, for If any organic , matter is left In any of them. It is al- j most impossible to produce the desired ! quality of milk. If the utensils are cleaned with wa ter just ns It comes from the well or tap, some bacteria will remain which will multiply very rapidly during the warm weather of the summer months. The utensils should be sterilized, and tills is done by exposing them to live j j steam for several minutes. In the cleaning of tinware they should be first washed with cold water and-the* with hot' water and a washing powder that is alkaline in nature. Ordinary i soaps qre not satisfactory In the elean i jjig of the ufensils of the dniry. After i ! the tinware has be?n thoroughly i cleaned It should be sterilized. Ster ilization is the most important factor in the production of high-grade milk. —B. W. Fairbanks. Associate Profes sor Animal Husbandry, Colorado Ag ricultural College. .... __ - . Series of Experiments to Decide Value of Corn Recently a series of' experiments was run to decide the value of grind ing coni. In these tests It was found that cornmcal produced 7 per cent more milk and 14 per cent more fat than ear corn. Where corn and cob meal were compared with cornmcal it was found that the conimeal was slightly in the lead, having a 2 per ! ! cent better production in butterfat. : , Even though the corn is extra cheap, 1 the cows will give a better account of ; themselves to the tester If they are | fed corn that has been ground. I Regularity of Feeding Is of Much Importance Regularity of feeding is of greater Importance than time of feeding. In the care of dairy cows. The dairy cow should have regular meal hours. More roughage will be consumed If It Is fed two or three times a day Instead of only once. Feeding of Minerals to Cows Is Not Profitable Feeding of mineral mixtures to dairy cows did not show profit In pounds of milk produced at the Ohio station where it was carefully tried out To supply minerals to dairy cows If forms that can best be used is by feed Ing legume roughage, such as nlfalfs hay, clover and soy bean hay, rich In minerals and nitrogen. This appllet both In raising young animals and feed tag for milk production.
