TO EVOLVE MEANS BY WHICH
TO PUT THE INVOLUNTARY !
IDLE BACK TO WORK.
SITUATION, WAR INHERITANCE
President Mas Little Enthusiasm For
ANY Proposed Relief Measure That
Involves the Public Treasury.

WASHINGTON. - The national unem-
ployment conference, which the ad-
ministration hopes will evolve means
of putting the nations involuntary
idle back to work, was formerly open
ed here by President Harding.
Addressing the half hundred indus
trial, economic and labor leaders COM
prising the conference, the President
described the present industrial de-
preston as "a war inheritance through
out the world for which, as applied
to the United States, he added, he
would have little enthusiasm for any
proposed relief which seeks either pal
liation or tonic from the public treas
ury."
Fundamentally strong, financially
strong, industrially unimpaired, COM
mercially consistent and politically un-
afraid" the President asserted, there
ought to be work for everybody in the
United States who choose to work,
and our condition at home and our
place in the world depend on every
body going to work and pursuing it
with that patriotism and devotion
which make for a fortunate and happy
people,"
The President declared that "the
only sure and onward way" to rid the
nation of the wars aftermath of de-
preston involved, "liQuidation, reor-
ganization, readjustment. re-establish-
ment, taking account of things done,
and sober contemplation Of things to
be done"

CHAPEL HILL SUFFERING THE
LONGEST DROUGHT IN THE
HISTORY OF THE TOWN.
NO RAIN IN SEVERAL MONTHS
The Usual Thanksgiving Recess Will
to Recover Lost Time.

Chapel Hill.-The continuance of the
longest drought in the history of
Chapel Hill has forced the University
to postpone it's opening from Septem-
Der 81, to Tuesday, October 4.
There has been no real rain here
worthy of the name since the middle
of May. There have been few show
ers, but these have barely laid the
dust. The vegetable and grain crops
of the region have been killed.
The meagre Summer population has
been able to get along in recent weeks
because, it has been served by water
plant designed for the peak load OF
the college year. But even with this
relatively small demand a serious wa
ter scarcity has arisen.
A thorough survey of all possible
sources of water supply around Chapel
Hill demonstrates that the drying up
process has gone so far that, even if
there should be considera BILE. rain in
the next few days, there would still be
danger to health in opening on sche-
dule time.
1t is planned to eliminate the
Thanksgiving recess in order to make
up for the week lost by postponement.

Hickory Tax Rate Higher.

Hickory tax rate for
the ensuing year will be $1.35 as
against II cents last year and $185
the year before the reva1uation act
went into effect. This higher rate this
year over last is due largely to the
30 per cent reduction in assessed val
ues by the board of county commits
sioners and to deficit in the running
expenses of the schools. Another
large factor. is the amount of money
required to meet interest charges on
street bonds
