COMPLAINT is VOICED
BY H|LLSDALE CITIZENS
Allege That Part Of Their School
Building Appropriation Was
Applied Elsewhere.

At meeting of the Hillsdale Citizens
Association Monday evening in Odd
Fellows Hall, on Sumner road south
east, its president, Allen f. jackson,
charged that the entire appropriation
made by Congress of $4,000 for an ad-
dition to the public school there was
not expended on it. Mr.. Jackson stated
that when the plans were being drawn
for the addition he visited the Com
missioners, municipal architect and
board of education and was advised
that the plans would call for an as
senably hall. The work progressed. and
the plans called for the assembly hall
but now that the addition is supposed
to be finished, according to Mr.. Jack
son, the assembly hall is not complete
and upon further investigation he
stated he had received information that
from $4,000 to $4,000 of this appro-
priation had been used elsewhere, and
for this reason the assembly hall could
not be completed. A special committee
was appointed to investigate the mat
ter and report back to the association
Other Business Matters.
At the same time the association took
action in opposition to the presence OF
the pigpens belonging to the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane, running
as far as Sticlsfoot branch. The pigs
are allowed to use this branch.
The association resolved to continue
it's efforts to have the streets of the
Hillsdale section taken over by the
government in order that improvement
may be made to them.
President Jackson stated that the at
tendance was the largest held In al
least three years, and it was imposst-
BILE to provide seats for all.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
AIDS THE UNEMPLOYED
Procures Work in January for 1913
Persons-Program of
Lenten Talks.

During the month of January en-
ployment was found for 12S persons by
the employment bureau of the Asso-
ciated Charities. according to report
made by Walter S. Ufford, general sec
retary, and !. W. Faust, secretary of
the bureau. to the board of managers
of the Associated Charities yesterday
afternoon. Permanent employment was
obtained for fifty-three persons, and
work of a temporary nature for seven
ty-five.

ers have been received. Requests for

ty-Seven were men,
Plan of the Association.
Attention was called to the fact that
the bureau is not operated along lines
usually followed by employment bu-
reaus. The Associated Charities must
either find work for the applicant or
else give him financial aid in the form
of relief, that his or her family may be
kept together during the unemploy-
IL.
the meeting that this point of differ
ence had not been clearly understood
so that at the beginning several able
bodied skilled Workmen had registered
for work who, falling work, dlScla1med
any need of charitable assistance. In
such cases the bureau always explains
that it must give preference to those
who are in straits that call for chari-
table relief if employment cannot be
procured.

TWO cANDIDATEs FOR GOVERNOR

Washington, April 20.-A. ". Nc
Lean of Lumberton announced here
tonight that he would not be a can
dfdate for governor of North Carolina
next year.. He said that personal rea-
sons keep him out of the race
Representative Robert N. Page,
when told of the action Of Mr.. Nc
Lean, said that he had nothing to say
as to his own attitude towards the
contest for governor that he has not
already said. He declared that 1t is
present intention to be a candidate
to succeed himself in congress.
However, certain very warm friends
of Mr. Page hope to see him enter
the race for governor, and they be-
1ieve that he can win the nomination
easily now that Mr.. Mclean is out OF
the contest.
There are two avowed candidates
for governor, T. w. Beckett and e. L.
Daughtridge. Several other men are
spoken of for the nomination, among
them Secretary Daniels and A. j. NJ"
Kinnon.
Tt has been rumored for the last
two or three weeks that Judge w. K.
Allen would be brought into the race.
Judge Allen said here sometime ago
that he is not a candidate and does
not contemplate being.
The announcement of Nj. McLean
will be followed by developments IN
the State.

SINGING CONVENTION WILL
MEET AT PLEASANT HILL

Mr.. Editor:
The time for the next Singing Con-
vention is at hand. l wish to an
nounce through your paper that the
next convention will be held at, Pleas
ant Hill On the 9Th Sunday in May
Pleasant Hill is situated 4 miles west
of Hendersonville near Kanuga Lake
On one of the best roads in the county.
Several times the convention has been
appointed to be held at this place and
each time something happened to in
terfere and this community has not
yet had the pleasure of entertaining
one of our conventions. / therefore
as chairman of the convention do most
urgently request that each and every
choir having heretofore taken part in
said convention be OF hand with the
best they have in the way of music.
We also especially invite any COM
munity in our county thai has not be-
fore sent a choir to the convention to
be with us with a well trained class,
that we may be able to repay these
people what they have lost In our fail
nre to be with them before.
when we are working In the cause
of music we need have no fear about
being in the right. Let us all there
fore lay aside our other work for a
day or two and make every effort to
make this a great day for the cause
we represent.

I'm making up the list of Vegetables
g the vacant LOT, the requirements
OF n family TO be supplied should he
taken into account. The indivfdual
preferences of the members of the
family shouldzbe considered. If every
Ipody IS fond of sweet. corn, then. of
course, a large amount of this veee-
table should be planted.
For those who have not had exper-
lence In gardening, the most common
n easily cultivated vegetables should
be relied upon and planted most large.
~ For example, in soils of r
fertility, the inexperienced grower
should be able to get good results from
planting OF sweet corn, tomatoes, cab
bage, potatoes, peas and bush beans.
1t Is also desirable to limit the nunl-
Der of varieties planted. In other
words, there is no necessity of plant
several varieties of each kind of vege-
table. Inasmuch as the vegetables are
to be used merely on the home table.
quality rather than quantity should
be the purpose that is constantly kept
in mind.
There should be thorough tillage
from the time the plants appear until
1t is impossible to run the hand cult
vator between the rows.
There is no reason why a number of
neighbors could not go together and
buy a wheel hoe and perhaps a seed
drill. The wheel hoe is particularly
important because it will make it pos
sible for a person to accomplish so
much more work in a given length of
time than can be done with an ordi-
nary hand hoe. The seed drill is also
a great labor-saving device.
There should be no negligence In
c~ultivating the soil because this oper-
alton conserves soil moisture, aerates
the soil, and promotes a physical COLI
dition which is essential in making the
supply of food in the soil available co
the plants. Thorough soil prepara-
ton, even and uniform planting
straight rows, and clean tillage are the
factors which count for the making
of a g~ood-looking garden; and thor
ough tillage is also important in oh
tanning high yields.
TimelineS and thoroughness are all
solutely essential in vegetable garden

is his earnest desire that no stone re-

A board was detailed by Secretary

Of the Army War College:
There is, in my opinion, no one
subject of so great importance before
this country at this time as the prop
er military policy to be adopted by
it and pursued as occasion permits.
This policy should not only be clear,

military standpoint, but it should be
