The Jefferson school was the win ner this morning in the Lee B. Wea thers Spelling Contest and will be awarded a loving cup for its achiev ement in the commencement exer cises next week. The contest this morning was the best that has yet been held. More .than 2000 pupils have pointed to it from the beginning of school last fall and in the contest this morn ing the representatives of the va rious grades made the best record that has yet been scored. An aggre gate of 1750 words were spelled by the 35 contestants. Twenty two of the contestants negotiated their 50 words without a bobble. Every third grade child entered made a perfect score. When the results were tabulated and the averages figured it was found that three schools had tied for first place. They-follow: Graham. Marion and Jefferson. A second contest had to be en tered into among these three schools. Those in charge had to draw on the "spelling demons" to be sure to an elimination. Most of the words were decidedly above the grade level if those who were com peting but even so, very high scores were made by most of the pupils and two pupils again scored 100 percent. They were Bill Callahan of the fifth grade of the Graham school and Helen Dimsdale in the sixth grade of the Jefferson school.

The percentages for all pupils by years are as follows: 1930— 96.5 percent. 1931— 97.6 percent. 1932— 97A percent. 1933— 98.7 percent. The names of the pupils who won out for the Jefferson school are given by grades as follows: Second grade—Nova Peak. Third grade—Broadus Hopper.

Cherry Defends General Assembly Says It Cut Expenses, Balanced Budget And Imposed Sales Tax As Last Resort. Major Gregg Cherry, member of the last general assembly from Gas ton county, defended the legisla ture and Its actions before the Ki wanis club last night at its weekly luncheon meeting. Major Cherry was leader of an economy group and did his best to avoid the levy of a sale st&x but he said that In order to get relief from land and at the same time raise enough money to balance the budget and meet curtailed expenses of the state, the sales tax was re sorted to in order to spread the tax burden in a less painful way by pay ing when you buy. “I don’t think the school system will be wrecked. It will be crippled, however. Tire teachers and state employees are patriotic under their forced cuts, so as much as we dis ; like the sales tax, I believe the mer chants and the consumers will show the proper spirit and rally to the state as they have done in the past," said he. “We cut from 107 millions appropriations for the last bien nium to 83 millions for this bien nium. This should be a great relief to taxpayers. If Cleveland does not make a cut on real estate values, the tax rate should come down 35 per cent. Even with a horizontal re duction, the rate will come down some,” he added. Major Cherry told of some of the characters in the last general as sembly and several amusing inci dents. He defended the long ses sion on the ground that there were such divergent opinions be cause of the economic crisis. "Most of the work is done in committees and these committee hearings gave the people an opportunity to be heard on state problems as they have a right to,” he said. Shelby B. And L.
