Col. Aston D. Watts, recently
named commissioner of revenue and
taxation, is in the capital marking
time until May 1 when he will for
mally set up his office. Until that
time Colonel Watts is answering let
ters and taking it easy.
While no appointments have been
made by him the colonel has his mind
fairly made up as to who his assist
ants are going to be, j. r. Collie,
Superintendent of the States prison
under the Beckett administration, is
slated for one position and Aleck
Beddingfeld, now in the Office of
Collector J. w. Bailey, another.
ct am receiving letters from mum
Der of applicants who would like to
help me with the work." Colonel
Watts said today "Some of these let
ters come from and for men in the
Federal and State Office holders.
Some are from applicants who are
not so we'll situated" The colonel
pointed out that he was not in office
himself until May 1 and could not
make any appointments until that
time.
Horizontal reductions in property
valuations in about two score coun-
ties is not giving Colonel Watts any
worry. He believes that some hard
work will be necessary to straighten
out the Reva1uation tangle, but he
expects to do the work well.

FRENCH DISAPPOINTED
AT AMERICAN NOTE

Paris, April 22.-French official
circles expressed disappointment at
the American reply to the German
note asking this country to act as
mediator in the reparation questions
saying the reply was not a categori-
cal refusal as had been expected.
The regrets were mitigated how
ever by satisfaction that the Unit
ed States was displaying active in
terest in the allied reparatfon ques-
ton.
The American answer was inter-
preted here as an invitation to re-
sumo negotiations with the allies.
This indicates that the United States
will not continue conversation with
Germany on this subject except in
accord with the allies

SPECULATION AS
TO SUCCESSOR OF
WORD H. WOOD
SEVERAL MEN SUGGESTED
Place on State Highway Com
mission May be Filled by
Col. Fitzpatrick. Other Pos
sible Appointees Are T. C..
Leake, Stewart w. Cramer
and W., S. Lee.
(By Max Abernethy)

Raleigh, April 22.-Speculation as
to whom Governor Morrison will ap-
point to succeed Word H. Wood of
Charlotte as a member of the State
Highway Commission is the capital
talk today.
The resignation of Mr.. Wood was
made by wire and was not unex-
pected, Governor Morrison having
discussed the matter with him a
week ago. The governor regretted
very much to lose Mr.. Woods SER
vices but was not inclined to insist
that he serve when he thought pri-
vate business prevented it.
Already the governors Office is be-
ing flooded with letters of recon-
mendation for Mr.. Woods successor
Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick has been en-
dorsed by the Charlotte Chamber of
Commerce for the post and it is
learned that Governor Morrison's pri-
mary manager, Heriot Clarkson, will
add his strength to the endorsement.
T. G. Leake of Rockingham, proba-
bly, the governors closest personal
friend and a fine business man, is
being considered for the place. 1t is
! probable that the choice will be made
| between the two although others
names are being sent in.
Stewart w. Cramer and w. S.
Lee, both of Charlotte, and, friends
of the governor have been suggested.
While the appointment is not one
that anybody would run" for-the
pay is negligible, amounting to ex-
penses-it is not believed the COVER
nor will name Mr.. Cramer nor that
Mr.. Cramer would accept. He is of
, the Republican faith and the Demo-
cracy of the eighth highway district
would not stand for the commission
ership going to a Republican. Mr..
Lee has recently been named direct
or of A. and E. College by Governor
Morrison and while he would be an
ideal man for the place since he is an
engineer, it is learned that private
, business would interfere with his dc-
cepting the appointment.
Mr.. Leake is president of several
cotton manufacturing plants and is
an excellent business man and if he
wanted the place would very proba-
bly, get it. The governor likes him
personally, politically and otherwise.
His appointment would be IN keeping
with the policy of putting all business
men on the commission. Colonel
Kirkpatrick is president of the Cit
liens Highway Association is per-
sonal friend of Governor Morrison
and last but not least is citizen o.
Charlotte, home of the governor.
North Carolina's seasons crop OF
tobacco jumps ahead OF the 1917
crop by millions of pounds
The total of 431 million pounds
was about 100 percent II ore thar the
1917 figures. In total value at the
average of $2O.74 per hundred. it
is worth more than any other states s
crop. And while the production was
increased 80 percent still the value
was only 55 percent of the preceding
crop.

identify Tito Ligi under arrest here

that figured in the Wall Street ex-
plosion last September.
The trio who declared they had

shown the picture of Ligi that he
might be the man but after selling
him they said he was not the man.
