The fishing seas'on opens on that i day, and the more than one thousand | miles of trout streams of the county . will attract many hundreds of peo- . ples to every corner of the county. I This section is rapidly becoming the best known fishing grounds in all Western North Carolina, and the stocking of the streams has added many millions of the finny tribe to the waters of the county. With the government forces stock ing the streams in the Pisgah Na tional Forest, and with the .intelli gent work being done by Jerry Jerome and John Smith, as the fish committee of the Chamber of Com merce, and with the numerous citi zens of the county realizing that trout fishing can be made one of the chief attractions of the county in bringing people to this section, the sport is just now beginning to take its place as a real asset to the county.

TOBACCO EXPERT VISITING COUNTY Fifty Farmers Growing Tobac-j co <let Valueable Advice j on This Crop A. H. Veazey, tobacco expert, is I in the county, working with Julian 1 Glazener and visiting the tobacco ? growers of Transylvania county. Mr. I Veazy is giving instructions on the! proper cultivation of the new crop, 1 which fifty farmers of the county j are growing this year. Mr. Glazener ? is taking the lead in this work, ! while the Brevard Banking company j is furnishing free plants to the fifty farmers for one acre of tobacco 1 each. The expert was brought here to give advice on tobacco growing. A meeting of interested growers , is called for 3:00 o'clock Saturday! afternoon. For convenience the meet- 1 ing to be held in the agricultural j room. At this meeting, Mr. Veazy j will have the results of soil tests , made in the different sections of the county ready, and will discuss their adaption to tobacco growing. The tobacco expert has machines and testing outfit with him and will make authoritative explanations of j culture methods and fertilizing of the different soils for the production of tobacco. No charge whatever will be made for any of the work done by the expert while here. Mr. Veazey was born and reared on a tobacco farm in Granville county. He was graduated from State College in 1922 and did Voca tional work at Rosewood, N. C. un til 1929. While teaching agriculture at the Rosewood High School he was selected as the Master Teacher of Agriculture in the Southern Region embracing 12 Southern states. He is now with the V-C Chemical com pany as their specialist in soils, fer tilizers and crops. He will give ad vice to the farmers in this county on selecting their fields for tobacco , and making fertilizer recommenda- ! tions. Mr. Glazener considers that he has been very fortunate in secur- j ing the services of Mr. Veazy and urges that all farmers interested in [ tobacco growing endeavor to be at the High School Saturday afternoon. call Mention TO TAX PAYMENTS! Tax payers will be interested in an announcement on another page, setting forth the fact that all 1929 state and county taxes must be paid by April 30, and that all property on which taxes have not beenpaid at that time will be advertised for sale, beginning the first Wednesday in May. County officials are urging the people to pay now, and avoid the rush of the last days, and to avoid advertisement of their property. t.ast year an extension of time was given the tax payers, but that, it is pointed out, was by special act land applied only to the 1928 taxes, land did not change the old law at all, nor does it apply to this year's pay ment, nor is" there any way in which the county commissioners or the county tax collector can extend time. It is learned from the county offi cials that the law provides that those whose property is sold for taxes may redeem such property upon payment of the taxes, with an additional $1.70, and further addition of one per cent per month added to the bill. If the i roperty is not redeem ed at the end of a' year from the time of its sale, then title becomes absolute to the property, and the new purchaser, or the purchaser of the tax certificate, is in possession sf.id property under good title.

Moore returned j (to the Superior court room last Fri- ? iday afternon to resume court after . having had his recess and lunch. In his quiet, dignified manner His ; Honor took his seat and reached for jthe gavel, his emblem of authority, j His Honor failed to find his gavel , [in its accustomed place. Search was ? made, officers were called, spectators (joined in, and no gavel could be . found. Then it was that His Honor desired to make a notation of (some thing, and he reached for his pencil, or one of his pencils, for he kept i i several pencils about the bench. But, like the gavel, the pencils had ' 'disappeared. No one could imagine ' what had happened. About this time some one recalled having seen Lewis Sanders about the ! court room. Chief Freeman and Deputy Tom Wood went in search of j the 16-year-old lad. They found)' him. On him they found the judge's ] I gavel and pencils. He was brought ( | before the judge, and was given a , [sentence for taking thes? things. ? His Honor, wanting to be lenient , 'with the lad, asked him if he would ij , be a good boy and not take things!, any more, if let go. The boy replied li that he did not know what he would ! do. Then it was that the judge ,j I passed sentence, later changing the < I verdict on condition that the boy's J father take him and leave the ? county. It was the first time in His Hon- ] or's long experience on *he bench that any one had stolen any court equipment. He expressed the hepe that it will be the last time.

'several acres of land on the county j 'home farm as an expermiental sta- , |tion. This action was taken at the j i meeting of the board of county com- , i missioners last Monday. The Young Tar Heel Farmers in i Mr. Glazener's class, will cultivate : 'this land under the " supervision of i | the teacher.

Many Cajes Disposed of On Civil Docket In the Superior Court EUGENE HAMILTON IS AWARDED $3000 VERDICT Several Case* Settled by Con sent?Others Continued to July Term ? ? , Many cases have been disposed , of during the week since Superior! court took up the civil docket of the J March-April term. Settlement has] ben made by consent in some of thej cases., while others have been con tinued to the July-August term. Of especial interest is the case of U. S. Fidelity and Guaranty com pany against the Transylvania coun ty school board, in which the bond ing company secured a judgment against the school board in the sum of $1603 and interest from Decem ber, 1925 to date. This amount had been held out of money on contract to the Jordan Building company, contractors on the High School job. This item had ben held back because of alleged default by the contractor in failing to complete the building. The bonding company was on the contractor's bor.d, and were subro gated to the rights of the contractor, and therefore, due the $1600. The Sullivan-Markley company, hardware dealers, also won suit for 5700 with interest from December, 1925 to date, against the board of eductaion for supplies furnished ih the building of the High School. It is believed the board of educa-i: tion will now institute suit against the bonding company for recovery of 1 this ?700 item and other damages '? iiaimed by the board of education 1 because of failure of the contractor :o complete the work. Eugene H. Hamilton won a verdict I Df $3000 damages for personal in juries in the case in which the plain tiff alleged were received while in :he employ of the J. W. Rutherford Lumber company. Non suit was taken in the case of r. A. English vs. Gilespie et al.
