sERENADERs IN HARD LUCK
Evidently 1t Was Not Their
Night to Make "Hit."

One night not long ago four Prince
ton boys went gayly forth to serenade
two bellies of the town. Arrived at
the house of the fair ones, they took
their stand under the correct window,

made the night more or less melodi-

They were just preparing to leave
when a door opened and the jolly old
father of the girls appeared. Had it
been light they might possibly have

obliged. That is, am much obliged,
for I happen to be alone tonight. l

better luck. But in the name of old

the girls are here, don't play to the

very marked falling off in the number
of blockade distilleries reported the

Much Proaress In Road Building.

Much Progress In Road Building.
Substantial progress Is being made
in road improvement in manr coun-
ties of the state, according to Chief
Engineer w. s. Falls of the State
Highway Commission, who has just
returned to headquarters here after
trips into many sections of the state.
He says that assistant engineers are
making progress in surveys OF the
road building resources in numbers
of the counties an dthis will be con-
tinued as rapidly as the county auth
critics can be interested in this i'm
portant matter. Such a survey of
local conditions and supplies for road
material ought by all means to be
made for every county before it is
sues bonds or starts On any extensive
road building campaign, as will mean
large amounts of money saved, he de-
clares.
This material survey work is being
pushed just now in Wilkes County by
w. E. Snowden, in Ashe by c. P.
Eldridge, in Rowan by R. p. Gates
and in. Martin by Collier Cobb, Jr.
Engineer Falls says that the most
serious drawbacks in intelligent direc-
ton of road building in practically
all the counties is ignorance of just
what road building materials are
most available and practical for road
construction in that county or locality.
There are a number of considerable
bridge enterprises being directed just
now by the State Highway Commits
sion staff

Ooings and happenings That Mark
the Progress Of North Carolina Peo-
pie Gathered Around the State
Capitol.


The Southern, the Atlantic Coast
Line, the Norfolk Southern and num-
bers of the smaller of the railroad
companies in the state have already
paid their 1915 taxes on the basis of
the increased assessments made by the
Corporation Commission and the
check from the Seaboard is expected
any day now. It has been delayed by
the suit the company Instituted in
the Federal Court and later withdrew.
The state will have about 100000
revenue this year from the railroads,
Of this the Southern pays s136,9O3;
the Coast Line, $95,S52; Seaboard,
$65,679, and the Norfolk Southern
$24,O87.
The tax assessment Of banks was
certified to the various banks by the
state treasurer within the first week,
and already the payments of taxes by
these institutions are coming in at
the rate of about 80 a day. The tax
revenue from the banks will aggre-
gate $60,416. This does not include
the banks in Wake county, which have
not yet been certified. The assess
ments against corporations generally
will go out, duly certified within the
next few days.
State Treasurer Lacy and State
Auditor Wood both say there is not
the slightest possibility of any deficit
the coming year in the state finances,
either the general fund for admins
trative purposes or special funds to
meet the appropriations for state in
stitutions and other purposes set
aside by the last legislature. Last
year, the general fund was sufficient
for the needs of the state, but funds
for appropriations was short some
thing like $250000.

REAL SNAKES


Pierre, Oct. 13.-When the railway
was graded between here and Rapid
City, at several places where deep
cuts were made in the gumbo bluffs,
dens of hundreds of snakes were dug
out, the rattlers having crawled into
the cracks in the shale for winter
quarters, and several places along
Bad river have regulations for being
general winter quarters for rattle
snakes. This is the time of year
when these snakes gather for the
winter, and Waiter Young of Capa,
claims that while riding on the prai-
RE neal that place a few days ago,
he rode into an acre of snakes, the
first notice he had was when. he
heard them rafting on every side of
him. He raced his horse out of the
danger zone without his being struck
by any of the angry snakes, and de-
cided that discretion was better than
valor with the number of serpents to
deal with, and got out of the neigh
borhood as soon as he could.
