from you, however, that as a practi-
cal matter, the money is actually ex-
pended during the last six months of
the calendar year, and the essential
fact to be borne in mind in your
computation is not the date upon
which the allotment is made, but the
time when the money will actually be
expended.
THE 100000 in the appropriation
bill is an item which existing law
required to be appropriated. (See
Revised Statutes, Chapter IS, Section
34) This provision is repealed by
Chapter 127 of the laws of the last
Legislature, but this repeal is con-
ditional and does not take effect I'M
til after the adoption of the proposed
Constitutional amendment 1t does
not. therefore, affect the appropria =
ton already made for 1921, or pre-
vent its use for the purposes for
which it was appropriated.
THE same conclusion applies to
the 100000 derived from the mill
tax. The mill tax is assessed as q
part of the regular State tax in April.
The mill tax law was amended by
the last Legislature and the tax in
creased to one and one half mills, by
Chapter 142 of the Public Laws of
1921, but that act is to take effect
only upon the adoption of the Con-
stitutional amendment, and it does
not affect the tax assessed for 1921.
Consequently, it cannot prevent the
use of the 100000 which under ex-
listing law is available out of the 1921
mill tax This 100000 is available
by virtue of the provisions Of Section
SO of Chapter % Of the Revised
Statutes, as amended by Chapter 220
of the laws of 1919. This provision
is repealed by Section 10 of the new
gether with the rest of the law, does
not so into effect at the present
time.
'The sum of s1S,S76, in our iudg-
ment, should not have been included

"When it comes to the 1922 allot-

of a phase of New England life that
is all but too swiftly passing from

with their quaint characters ana
their rugged sense of the honest ana
the human, and unfolded a series of
adventures and restraints which il
lumine the ever troubled path of true
love. AS MIR. Griffith himself likes
to put it way Down East" is a tale

The picture will be shown to the

In the last chapter we gave I'm on, :

tory OF the original colonies north Of
Virginia. We Will now consider those
to the south.
North Carolina embraces within its
territory the land upon which the
! trst English colonization Was Mt :
tempted, namely. that on Roanoke L.
land in 1855. This was the cxpcdi
ton mentioned in Il previous chapter
TO which You may refer for par,icu
lars. North Carolina originally
formed part Of Florida. under tho
claim. made by Spain. by right of dis
covcry. All of that region had been
so named since 1912. Later. il is true.
1t was claimed by France. az was all

New France tNovc Francia). Two or
three attempts were made by tho

VirEfninns Plant Settlement
1T was not until 1850 that immi
grants from Virginia planted the frs,
permanent English settlement. and
in leGl second English colony, from
Massachusetts. settled itself near the
mouth OF the Cape Fear River. II
was not until 1861 that the infant
colony secured II representative gov
eminent. Two years after this, the
colony was thrown into confusion by
the Utopian dream of Locke's scheme
OF government. Lockc's idea was 20

with It's lords, castles and great es-
tates controlling tho destinics OF tho
settlers and ruling them in Il feudal

and refused absolutely to accept any
such system. They had tasted OF the
pleasures and benefits of the freedom

did not propose To surrender it,
The growth OF Carolina was slow,
and this period OF it's history is rem
dered memorable by the destructive
savage war with the Indians in lTl2.
In 11l7 the proprietary government
was forfeited to the crown. and 1t

In 1862 Charles II. granted both
of the Carolinas to Lord Clarendon
and others. which fact greatly i'm
pcdcd the growth of South Carolina

into colony of it's own. This was
made possibly by the introduction
OF the cultivation OF rice in 1898.
