COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
P. L. Hough Allowed $225 for Hogs
Bitten by Mad Dog Bigg est
Awards Yet No Cattle Tuberculo
sis Campaign Now Other Busi
ness Transacted by Board.
At their regular monthly meeting
w. Mondav the county -commission
ers ordered that Mr. P. L. Hough be
paid a total of $225 compensation "for
25 swine belonging to Mr. Hough
which were bitten by a mad dog a
short while ago. One boar, valued at
$25, four sows, valued at $100, and
20 pigs, valued at $100, were bitten.
Dr. R. B. Jones examined the animals
after they were bitten and ordered
I that they be killed. " It is not known
J to whom the dog belonged, so no in
dividual can be forced to pay for the
damage. This is the largest award
yet given any one person in this, coun-
ty for damage caused by the bite of a
mad doe. C. B. Allen, J. T. Aycock
and H. R. Dennis composed the jury
I which fixed the value of the swine. .
The board postponed until a later
date any decision on the proposed
campaign to stamp out tuberculosis
among cattle in Anson county." A rep
resentative of the department of ag
riculture was here several weeks ago
i and presented this matter to the
board, a number of influential citi
:; zens urging that the campaign be put
pn. Under the plan two men would
be sent to the county and every head
i . of cattle in the county would be ex
amined, all reactors being-killed. The
county would be expected to pay not
to exceed $3,000 for the work. Rather,
s the county would maintain one of the
men doing the . work, provided the
cost did not exceed $3,000. In coun
ties about like Anson the average of
tuberculosis among cattle has been
about one-half of one per cent. There
i3 a great deal of sentiment that the
work should be done among those who
i have thought of it. , -
The board decided that in view ol
4 the lack of fiunds " at this time they
would not tale any action.

BILL TILLMAN, COLORED,
RECEIVES KU KLUX LETTER
Bill Tillman, a well nown colored
man of the ballast pit section , of
Lilesville township, yesterday receiv
ed a letter purporting to come from
the Ku Klux Klan, which was as fol
lows: ( "May 7, 1923.
"Bill Tilman:
"Open the old road in 48 hours or
leave, .
- "K. K. K."
On the first "K" was written
"Klear," on the second "K" was
"Klene", and on the . third "K" was
"Kick Hard." All the words in the
letter were very handsomely printed,
as if by some one who was an expert
at this kind of thing. In the upper
left hand corner of the letter was the
drawing of a burning house, and in
the lower left hand corner was the
drawing of a hooded Ku Klux figure,
with a pistol in one hand. The draw
ings were very well done.
The postmark on the envelope can
not be made out. Bill has no knowl
edge of who sent the letter, and is in
Wadesboro today consulting his law
yers, Robinson, Caudle & Pruette. It
is understood that the matter will be
turned over to the post office depart-;
ment, and that a thorough investiga
tion will be conducted. It is a crim
inal offense to send matter of this
kind through the mails.
For some time there has been a
private road leading . through BilPs
yard which Has been used by many if
not all of those going to the ballast
pits of Hedrick & Wade and of the
Yadkin Gravel Co. Traffic on this
road got so heavy, and caused Bill so
much trouble that he closed the road,
and opened another- going around his
yard. Some of those who had been
in the habit of using the old road have
been after him to re-open it, and it
appears that this is what is behind
the letter;
It is doubtful whether the Ku KIuk
had anything io do with the matter,
but this is an illustration of the diffi
culties into which the policy of secre
cy of the order will lead them.
FRED PINKSTON
HAS COLLISION.
, v Last .-Monday .night Mr. Fred-W.
Pinkston was driving lo Wadesboro
in his car, and between Marshville and
Peachland he had a collision with a
car driven by Mr. Joe Hasty, of
Marshville. It was reported here
Tuesday that Mrs. Hasty was at the
point of death, but this was a mis
take, she not being seriously injured.
The Marshville Home Tuesday had
the following account of the accident:
An auto occupied by Messrs, Fair
ley and Pinkston, of Monroe, collided
with an auto occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Hasty, of Marshville, on the
highway between Marshville and
Peachland last night about 10 o'clock.
Mr. Hasty says that when he saw the
approach of the other car he had al
ready driven to the side of the road
to avoid something which had punc
tured a tire for him on the outgoing
trip and was almost in the ditch when
struck by the Monroe car. Mr. Has
ty's car was badly wrecked and
he has a gash upon his forehead and
arm and knees skinned. Mrs. Hasty's
back .and neck were wrenched and
knees badly bruised. The Monroe
men seemed to escape injury and
their car was only slightly damaged.
Mr. and Mrs. Hasty were picked up
and brought home by a passing car.

to be one of the best that has been
held in recent years, made so by an
increased representation on the part
of lay delegates and almost a full at
tendance by the preachers of the dis
trict. And then the splendid and-en
couraging reports by both' laymen
and preachers coupled with the warm

NO POET LAUREATE.
The Federation of women's clubs,
in 1 session last week at Winston-Salem,
referred to a committee the mat
ter of appointing a poet laureate for
North Carolina. The committee will
report later. Rev. J. J. Douglass , of
Wadesboro, was strongly backed by
the Wadesboro clubs and by others in
the state, and had the confederation
been ready to appoint a poet laureate
at this time he would very likely have
been the appointee. . ... v

WILL HAVE PUBLIC MARKET.
Country Produce Will Be Sold Local
ly and Assembled for Shipment
Expected That Dr. Ross Building
Will Be Used.
It is now practically assured that
beginning not later than July 1st,
Wadesboro will have a public market
to which country produce of every
description can be brought for sale lo
cally, or assembled for shipment. . At
the meeting of the county commis
sioners last Monday, representatives
of the chamber of commerce and of
the advertising club, with Mrs. Red
fearn and Mr. Cameron, presented
the matter to the commissioners, who
decided to contribute $20 per month
for six months for the rent of a
building. It is expected that the Dr.
Ross .building at the corner of Mor
gan and Washington streets will be
secured at a rental of $40 per month,
the remainder being contributed
through the chamber of commerce and
the advertising club. The market will
be tried out for six months, and if it
is successful it will no doubt be con
tinued.
Dr. Ross some time ago submitted a
bid on his building to the post office
department, and if the post office is
put there some other place will have
to be secured for the market.
Plans at present in contemplation
provide for two market days each
week on which farmers and their
wives will have their produce on sale
locally. It is also expected that Mrs.
J. C. Redfearn, who will have charge
of the marketing end of the business,
will continue supervising the ship
ment of stuff to outside markets, us
ing this as headquarters.
If the Ross corner is leased the
rear lot will be available on the farm
ers' auction sale days for the auction,
and the building will be available for
storage in case of rain.
" There is a wide field of usefulness
for an enterprise of this kind in the
county, and it is hoped that' it will
grow into a large and important part
of the business life of the town and
county,
CLARKE SAYS PRESENT
PROSPERITY SPORADIC,
, The present apparent prosperity is
sporadic and can not be permanent
until the European markets are re
stored to the American farmers, John
H. Clarke, former Justice of the Su
preme Court and proponent of the
League of Nations, declared in an
addcess Saturday. .'
In praising the League and endors
ing President Harding's proposal for
American participation in the world
court of Justice, he declared isola
tion was impossible for the United
States with responsibility for the
Philippines, the Panama Canal, its
great commerce and its policy of the
"open door" in Asia and Africa.
"This objection rests wholly upon
the base, unworthy assumption that
the representatives - of these great
friendly commonwealths would cor
ruptly combine with the mother coun
try n an attempt to corruptly elect
corrupt judges to render corrupt de
cisions for this is what the insinua
tion. really means."

A CASE OF ENVIRONMENT.
Topique, in Pennsylvania Grit.
News dispatches tell us that negro
workers are moving north at the rate
of between 50,000 and 75,000 a month,
thus threatening a labor shortage in
the South, and a surplus of race riot
material on the northern side of the
Mason and Dixon line. Some there
are whq profess to see industrial trou
bleeventually, to be sure of a far
reaching character in this migration.
But to prove their case they should
first prove the permanency of the mi
gration. There comes to mind the re
mark of the good darky Brother Sim
monswho summed up this habit his
race has of flitting around the coun
try in the following terms:
"Yes, suh, dem of mah race which
wants to live in de North kin go dar,
how and when dey likes. But ez foh
me," I'll stay where I is, amongst de
folks I was born and raised wif, an
if I is lynched, please God, IH be
lynched by mah friends."

THE GROWTH OF HIGH SCHOOLS
The rapid development of high
schools in North Carolina is one of
the best and most substantial signs
of progress. A decade ago the small
town or rural community was not
expected to be able to afford a high
school. Ten years ago the number
of boys and girls in high school in
North Carolina was very small. To
day the counties of the state are
fairly dotted with high schools and in
a few years a high school will be in
reach of every child. In Granville
county this will be the case doubt
less by the end of the year.
As fast as they can, progressive
communities are getting away from
the one and two-teacher schools
with their limitations of sundry kinds
and building up larger schools where
the educational facilities and con
veniences are vastly increased.
These high schools are serving as
training grounds for the colleges of
the state. It has been an unfortu
nate fact that in the past many
students have entered college pre
pared so badly as to make them work
under a strain to keen up their
courses or on the other hand to boV
discourage them that they drop be
hind and give up. :
i Old Blue Back and the Old Log
School have a strong hold on the af
fections when it is a question of sen
timent, but When it comes to the
point of meeting the conditions of
this modern day Old Blue Back and
the Old Log. School are as ineffec
tual as the forked stick used as a
plow.
The people are alive to educa
tional advancement. The mossback
is losing his moss and what there is
left is not confined to the man of the
backwoods. Fear of taxes is putting
moss on the backs of many town
people, but the public, urban and
rural, as a whole, are determined that
every child shall be given the chance
to have a good education.
' North Carolina has good reason to
be -gratified with the rate of expan
sion of her whole educational sys
temfrom the smallest public school
functioning properly to . the biggest
colleges. The citizen who backs
this system is backing the winning
horse. Masonic Journal. ,

BASEBALL PROSPECTS.
Representatife of th Surrounding
Towns Invited to Meet Here To
morrow. A general conference of base ball .
enthusiasts from numerous neigh
boring towns has been adled here for
tomorrow afternoon at tho eity hall
to compare views for a lively base ball
season this summer. The local sub
scriptoni committee at last Friday's
meeting reported having secured
about a throusand dollars for a rep
resentative local club, and prospect3
for a real base ball season seemin?
good again this year, it was deemed
advisable to interrogate base ball en
thusiasts of other towns regarding
the possibility of an amateur league.
The question uppermost in the minda
of the local fans attending last Fri
day's meeting was the number of
outside players permissible, and to
settle this question, Secretary Van
Hervie a few days ago sent out in
vitations to Rockingham, Albemarle,
Hamlet, Monroe, Concord, Badin and
Cheraw, inviting delegations of base
ball fans from these cities to come
here tomorrow for a conference. It
is hoped that a basis of agreement
can be reached at this meeting which
will assure Wadesboro at least two
games at home every week, and that
all the uncertainties now existing re
garding the kind of base ball we are
to have here this year can be settled.
SOUTHBOUND TRAINS
WILL BE TAKEN OFF. ,
Secretary Van Hervie a few days
ago received a letter from the corpo
ration commission stating that the
Southbound had filed application to
take off the morning train to Win-
ston-Salem, as has been done for the
last two summers, and the commis
sion set May 17th as the date on
which to hear any protests. The
Wadesboro chamber of commerce had
filed notice of protest, but at a meet
ing of the directors last night it was
decided that, while the chamber was
opposed to any curtailment of the
schedule, no fight would be made on
the change, it appearing that during
the summer the ' patronage of the
trains it .is-proposed to take off is
very sman. However, the chamber .
went on record as insisting that the
schedule be restored as it now is not
later than October 15th.-
It is understood the change will ho.
made next Tuesday. , Beginning en.
that date the train going north wilfe
leave at 12:35 P. M., and the one go
ing south will leave at 4:40. The,
train coming in from Winston-Salem
will arrive at 10:40 A. M. ..--
MR. COVINGTON HERE.
' Mr. I. B. Covington is now spend
ing most of his time in Wadesboro
attending to the various details aris
ing during the construction of the
plant of the Wade Mfg. Co., which is
now under way. He spends the week-,
end with his family at Forest City.
In reporting Mr. Covington's remov-.
al to Wadesboro, the Forest City cor
respondent of the Charlotte Observer
says of him:
"Mr. Covington came to Forest
City in 1915 to take a position as
superintendent of the Florence
mills. He made friends and demon
strated his worth and ability from
the very start. He has made a life
study of the textile business and is
rated as one among the. best all
round men in the state. Florence
mills has made wonderful progress
under his administration.'
A collision between a Buick auto
mobile and, the Charlotte-Monroe-Wadesboro
bus in front of Mr. Sam
Lee's, a mile east of Monroe, this
morning resulted in badly battering
the Buick and injuring Mr. and Mrs.
R. S. Hollingsworth, of Charlotte, the
occupants. Mrs. Hollingsworth sus
tained a bruised chest and slight ab
rasions, while Mr. Hollingsworth's
hand was Cut and he received other
minor injuries. Neither car was ov
erturned and the passengers in the
bus received only a few cuts and
bruises. It seems that the cars were
meeting and overtaking a wagon, Mr,
Hollingsworth attempted to run be
tween the wagon and bus and crash
ed into the latter. The bus sustained
a smashed wheel and engine damaged.
It is said neither car while approach
ing and attempting to pass the wag
on were "not running slow." Mon
roe Enquired.
The complaint has not yet been fil
ed in the case of Mrs. John D. Xeak
against the town, and there are no
new developments in the paving sit
uation. It is expected that the com
plaint will be filed within the next few
days.
