ft V THURSDAY, SBPTBMBBK 17. I2J THE CAROLINA HOUNTAINEEB OUR RALEIGH COMMUNICATION. (By M. L. Shipman.) Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 14. The con tinued heat wave in the Capita which broke records standing a quar ter of a century, the unflagging en ergy of Governor McLean in patting into effect his policies, interest in the American Legion election, comment on the latest statement on the de ficit by Governor Morrison, the open ing of all educational institutions of Raleigh and a renewal of the "mad dog" scare were matters which en gaged interest of Capital citizens dur. ing the past week. In addition there were a number of comparatively minor matters which were in the limelight for a brief moment each day. Governor McLean in addition to working zealously at the Capita) also attended to a host of minor matters. Interest was aroused Fri day night in the appointment of the judge to preside over the trial of W. B. Cole at Rockingham. For three days last week, Wednes day, Thursday and Friday, Governor McLean was closeted at the mansion and orders were that he was not to disturbed an any account. Newspa permen were unable to see him dur ing that time and at the same periods Secretary Sink of the Salary and Wage Commission was at the man sion. The report was that the two were going over the final report of the Salary and Wage Commission, treated as a part of the McLean leg islative program by the 1925 General Assembly. Thursday night the Gov ernor labored until the "wee small" hours of Friday on the matter in hand. It is expected that he will an nounce the wage scales during the coming week after another meeting of the Salary and Wage Commission. Prediction in well informed circles was that the commission and the Governor have no intension of visiting nalary reductions upon any large portion of present state employes. Where the Wage Commission will get n: its effective work will be when new employes are hired. These will com"! in a number ! instances ai i lower rate ami an eventual saving in sala ries of many thousands is predicted. ollowing the hard work of this past week the Executive expects to make n trip into the mountain section for one or two addresses during this week. He will take in the famous Toe River Fair in Mitchell county during his absence. Raleigh's torried weather has con tinued and all records since 1900 were broken on Saturday when the 55th consecutive day with a temperature above 90 degree was recorded. Pre viouslv the record had been 54 uayfc in )S00. Though showers were ex nected. the rnin which visiteJ the western part of the slate during the end of the week did not reach Ral egh. The local i linfall is about 12 inches less than no. ial for 1925. A record breaking school opening m Kale:h caused considerable con cern to school officials. The schools cannot accommodate the children, but ft is hoped to solve the situation the same time Peace Institute, St Mary's College, Meredith and State College were getting under way with record breaking enrollments. It looks hke a big year in eduactional circles i.n o' er the the state acording to re forts received here of the crreat de mands being made on education ac commodations. Governor McLean has appointed Judge T. I!. Finley to try W. B. lo'e on September 2tf for the murder of W. W. Ormond at Rockingham. The lien of the wealthy manufacturer han not been made public illhough self defense is surmised. The election of Harry I.. Stevents, Jr.. as commander of the American Legion spelled defeat for Colonel '. Hall Manning of Raleigh who was r. candidate for the office. Manning last year was accused of cnriying the Legion into politics in his efforts to elect Frank Grist as Commissioner of Ijibor ami Printing. The situation brought about a split in the Raleigh post and is believed locally to have been the cause of Manning's defeat. Two more children were bitten by mad dogs in Raleigh and renewed care was taken by authorities; Gov ernor McLean urged additional land ing fields for North Carolina in the devlopment of aviation. The co-op eration of Ralegh was pledged to the deepening of the Ncuse no as to pen it to commerce. The state in stiuted civil suit against ice dealers of Raleigh charged with violation of the trade combination restraint law, the latest move being designated to bring the matter to the Supreme Court.

The print-, . ing commission will meet Thursday to award state printing Bids, this meeting being postponed one week. Insuranee, Commissioner Wade and Fix Marshall BrockweU have gone to attended the -convention oi nre marshalls ia San Jcntonia, Texas.

Before leaving Mr. Wade tentatively select ed the week beginning October 4th as Fire Prevention Week in the State this year. Governor McLean is ex pected to give official approval of the suggestion in due course. During the week Governor McLean designated Superintendent A. T. Al len of the State Department of Edu cation, as a member of the Caswell Training School advisory committee. This committee is charged with the duty of outlining a scope of work for the institution mentioned and is al ready making a study of the prob lems to be handled. Governor McLean announced re cently the appointment of two sub stitute judges for specific 'work. They are ex-Judge Francis D. Win ston who is, to hold a two-weeks term of the Gaston County Superior court beginning September 28, and A. Way land Cook, a brilliant young attor ney of Greensboro, as an emergency judge to preside over a term of Watauga County Superior court be ginning on the same date. The Division of Markets, State Department of Agriculture, is an thority for the statement that nearly a million pounds of live poultry was bandied for North Carolina farmers! last year at an approximate saving of $50,000. The state division oper ates in co-roperation with county farm demonstration agents. The Bureau of Vital Statistics, P'w.,-d l 4?" '" : . ll.iitihero are still a greater number of biiths than deaths during the twelve months period and that the number of babies is likely to exceed the number of cof 1ms right along. There were 42,080 births in the state during the first half of the year 1924, according to the report, while for a similar period following 42,197 is recorded. Deaths first six months of 1924 numbered 17,746, for the Bame period this year 16,828, approximately 3,000 of this number being babies less than a year old. It is claimed that 260 mothers of the babies born during the first half of last year died within six months thereafter. A gift of $25,000 to the St. Mary's School of this city is announced by B. N. Duke through his represents tiro W. A. Erwin, a life long friend. The 8t Mary's campus is one of the beauty spots of Baleigh and a gate way is planned as one of the improve ments soon to be made. The purchase of a new organ is also contemplated. A shake-up in Raleigh police circles has been determined upon by Chief Winder Bryan to become effective November 1. Three members of the force have been' asked to "walk the plank." Reasons not given, but privi lege of a hearing before the city commissioner is accorded the three patrolmen effected. The Confederate cemetery near the Soldiers Home is to be made a beauty spot, if plans of the local chapter Daughters of the Confederacy do not miscarry. Chapters of the organiza tion throughout the state will be given' an opportunity to participate in the laudable undertaking. Governor McLean pardons W. .W. Green, a negro army officer residing in Davidson county, who has served already seven years in the State's prison lor attacking a small negro girl while he was military instructor st the Negro Agricultural and Tech ideal College, Greensboro. , His Jong army service and good record as prisoner wore assigned as the reasons for executive clemency. There seems to have been little apposition to the application for pardon. Deforestation is a menace declares Governor McLean who seeks the co operation of county authorities in the effort to prevent forest fires. He emphasizes especially the importance of county assistance until the legisla ture has an opportunity to enact pre ventive measures. The State Fair management expects the poultry show to be one of the features of the big exnimuon wis year. It will be held under the di rection of AHen G.
