only 81, $50.
The total asked for by the above six
teen counties is in round numbers 1927, 119.
These figures are alarming to the state
officials, and it is evident there is some
mistake in the understanding of the law
on the subject.
The only counties that have so far Off
cially notified the State superintendent
that they will not. need any of the APP
preparation are Granville. Vance, Ca

known there are many others that will
not require this additional State aid, but

the only ones that have come out and
said so.

THE TURpENTlNE INDUSTRY.

The old biographies put the products
of North Carolina down as tar, pitch
and turpentine" else. Some of
the Biographies had an illustration of a
out Of which turpentine flowed like
whiskey from a barrel As a matter OF
fact there is much of the State that
never knew anything about the produc-
tion of tar, pitch or turpentine," though
1t has always been a large source of reve-
nue. to large sections in Eastern North
Carolina. In 1870 this State led in the
value of these products, but it is now
growing smaller, many of the early oper-
ators in turpentine having moved to
Georgia and Florida. where they have
made big money out of this use of the
pine tree.
this industry is valued at about twenty
million dollars a year. Georgia leads
with 1,515,569 barrels of crude turpentine
valued at $S,110, 46S; Florida comes next
with 1.212.935 barrels worth $6,469 sos;
Alabama comes next; Mississippi fol-
lows, and then comes North Carolina with
361 ,729 barrels worth $1,O55, sos. From
first place twenty-five years ago North
Carolina has dropped to fifth and as the
North Carolina pines are converted into
lumber it's production of turpentine and
rosin will continue to decrease But a
million dollar industry, chiefly confined
to a few counties, is not to be despised.
The census figures shows that the crude
turpentine was converted into 754, $40 bar
rels of spirits of turpentine, 1858, 0S7
barrels of rosin, and other miscellaneous
products. There are 1903 turpentine and
rosin plants in the United States and
the capital employed in the industry is
81, S47, 4S6, with a yearly pay roll of nine
millions of dollars.

the end, and until noon Wednesday, he
was in good spirits.

six years ago he startled the medical

months later when he filed suit for
divorce and wrote his petition In
blank verse. An experiment with a

was a failure, was his latest bid for
prominence.
