The county commissioners in

The last legislature created for
each county the Office of Superin.

whose duties will include the in.
spection of jails, county home,

The Board Monday decided that

ance for expenses. This officer
shall be appointed by the COM
missioners and county board of
education jointly, and the office
will be filled at the regular meet
ing of the Boards in July.
The Board ordered that the
firm of Scott & Mccullough, of
Charlotte, be secured at some
time during June to audit the
books of the various county
officers.
Three months ago J. P. Glib
bons, OF Hamlet, and B. B. Far

as the county board of review,
for the new tax assessments.
NJ. Gibbons declined the appoint

highway go miles, from Anson
line to Scotland county line. In
the foregoing amounts, the feder-

the county one-fourth. 1t isseen
from this that the county en-
dorses the proposed military
concrete highway, and is willing
to pay one-fourth of the cost of
same.
The tax levy for the ensuing
year was made. Last year the
tax levy was $1.28 on the $100.
The new levy provides an in
crease of 10 cents for schools,
and therefore is $1.38. However,
the poll tax is much less, this
year being $3.15, as against 1884
for last year. Divided into its
various channels, the new tax
levy is as follows:

Ancient History
Zermatt was first mentioned in his
tory IN 1880 and was then an old
place and little else Is known OF the
place until It Joined the Swiss con-
federation in 1915. For many years
Il was inhabited by few mountaineers
but at last Alexander and Catherine
Seller realized its grandeur and decid-
ed 70 make It a mountain resort and
opened boarding house for visitors.
The people OF zermatt have set up a
monument in their honor in the
grounds OF the Hotel Mont Cervin.
which is built on the site OF the first
hotel After a short time men and
women climbers began 20 come for the
summer, and there were a number OF
tragedies, caused by falls into
crevasses Of glaciers or by avalanches
which sweep down upon climbers dur
ing the summer-great inns OF snow
which break off the peGKs and slide
into the valleys carrying rocks with
them. A few years later. being a
mountain guide became business and
today there Is a certain aristocratic
