Newton Highway Case
Goes Back In Court
■ -
Highway Commission Files Petition
For Rehearing At Next Term.
No Construction Delay
Raleigh.—The state highway com
mission has filed its petition with the
supreme court for a rehearing of the
Newton road case. The commission, it
is understood, seeks a modification of
the former ruling of the court and
the clarification of some of the in
structions it contains.
The petition will not come up for
action by the court until the conven
ing of the fall term the tatter part
of next month. In the event the com
mission is granted a rehearing. it
probably will ask the opportunity to
present oral argument in support of
its case.
The original appeal from Judge
James L. WtJb-s restraining order
was presented by briefs only, and
friends of the commission have felt
that it may'AmVe hurt its cause by
the absence of un opportunity to more
fully argue the case before the court.
Charles Ross, assistant attorney
general, and special .counsel to the
highway commission, is handling the
legal matter. The new court move
will not cause delay in planning for
the construction of route 10 into the
town of Newton, it was said. State
highway chairman Frank Page and
Commissioner W. C. Wilkinson are in
charge of construction plans.

Gives Suggestions For
Summer Care Of Cattlt
It is the most comfortable cow that
produces the most milk in summei,
states the Larrowe Institute of Ani
mal Economics. Instead of turning his
cows into the field to swat flies and
loaf in the shade, the dairyman will
find that he can get more milk from
them by feeding them grain in the
cool of the barn during the heat of
the -»’y and then turning them out
at night to graze.
Following are some hints to the
dairyman on the summer care of his
cattle as given by the institute:
1. Cows need lots of water. Keep
it always available in a quantity they
want.
2. Provide shade during hot meath
er, preferably in your stable in the
heat of the day.
3. Let your cows graze at night
when it is cool, hut be sure that they
can get water.
4.Scrcen your stable if you can, to
keep out flies.
5. Spray your cows in summer with
a good fly 'preventative.
(i. Be sure they are free from lice
and other vermin.
7. Remember, a cow must be com
fortable and well if she is to produce
milk up to her capacity. Such care
requires a little effort but it pays
big dividends.

OLDEST TEACHER IK
RUTHERFORD COUNTY
Mrs. Pearson Near 92 Years Of Age.
Taught 70 Years Ago In South
Carolina
Rutherford ton.—Rutherford county
has the distinction of having possibly
the oldest school teacher in the State
in the person of Mrs. Minerva Wilk
ins Pearson, who will be 92 years of
age November lfi, 192G. She taught
school over 70 years ago in a private
home near Spartanburg, S. C., as a
private tutor first for the family of
Mr. Woodard Allen. She later taught
near New Prospects, S. O., Tnnners
Grove, this county, and in various
other places in McDowell, Rutherford
and Spartanburg counties.
She was educated at Rutherfordto;,.
Her last teacher was the late Rev.!
Erastus Rowley. She attended school
in Rutherfordton long before the
Civil War and remembers when this
town had only two small stores and j
some ten or fifteen homes. . She
taught school off and on for 50 years j
and was well educated for one of her
day.
She married Captain Charles W.
Pearson at the age of 71 years. Ife
lived onTv ten years. She made her |
home with her brother, Charles Wilk-j
ins, until his death about two years
ago. She is now making her home with
her nephew,. Dave Gray, about five
miles west of here on the highway to
Polk county.
She is unusually active for one of
her age. She walks to the neighbor’s
house when she so desires, and reads
the papers, magazines and the Bible
every morning.
One remarkable thing about Mrs. j
Pearson is that she says she has lived !
longer than she cares to.
She says she is ready and anxious
to die.
Mrs. Pearson remembers four wars,
that with Mexico in 1845; the War be
tween the States, the Spanish-Amcr
ican war, and the World War. She re
calls the days of slavery and how
many of the darkies refused to leave
their white masters, even after they
were freed.
Mrs. Pearson attributes her long
life to her regular habits, drinking
plenty of fresh water, taking regular
exercise and refraining from strong
drinks and tobacco. She has been a
member of,the Methodist church for
over 80 years.
