Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to plant
an English colony In America,

sent established little colony

1887 was born tho first Ameri-

pcriShed. 1t was not until over
. century later that permanent
settlements were made. Daring
pioneers from Virginia pressed
south into the new territory, and
these, augmented by a large
company Of Huguenots from
France and IL greater number of
! Germans from the Palutinate,
founded the first North Carolina
/. town Of Newburn in 171O. BY
the time Of the Revolution the
population In NGrth Carolina
had increased to such an extent,

and Scotch Hlghlanders who
settled chiefly In tho western

MOTOR TRUCK OWNERS ARE
 SEEKING nNERInAn PEE,

Hundreds of requests from motor truck owners for permission to overload their machines beyond tho capacity for which they were register have been receiv- ed at the state highway and motor ve- hicle departments since the state police enforcement of the revised commercial motor vehicle law began.
 Both departments have replied to these requests hat they are powerless under the law to issue such permits ex- cept in extraordinary cases for some particular project after an investigation by the highway department.
 The joint ruling of the two depart ments issued last week offers a way out for the truck o'#4ers who take the po- sition that their machines are mechani- cally strong enough to carry more than their rates capacity and that they vii suffer great financial losses unless they are permitted to overload. Under this ruling, the motor vehicle department will register motor trucks to carry as , much weight ever the rated capacity as the manufactu ITS of the trucks will cer- tify to. That puts the responsibility on the truck manufacturers
 Two of the large truck manufacturers have already acted under this ruling. 1 The Packard and Pierce-ArrOw compan- les certified to the motor vehicle depart ment that their three and a half ton trucks can @afe carry five tons. Ac- cordingly thz department began re-reg- istering those trucks of that size for the

of the Philippines, which was sent to
the islands by President Harding to
investigate conditions. returned to Ma
Mia today after travelling eighteen
days by train. automobile, launch.
horseback and steamer thru the north
ern section of Luzon island.
The Mission held scores of public
meetings and held conferences thruout
| its travels, listening to the views OF
natives regarding independence for the
Philippines, examining local financial
affairs, sanitation, schools, public works
ad administration of justice and agri-
cultural conditions,
After visiting the central provinces
| of Ll@zon island, the mission separated.
General Wood Travelled thru the north
| ern Pacific provinces while Mr.. Forbes
! went thru the mountainous provinces
among the nonchristian tribes. The
parties united again on the west coast
of Luzon.
Both commissioners said that their
sojourns everywhere had been marked
by the friendliest feelings of tho ma
tives for the Americans.
At the public hearings they said
virtually all of tn, speakers among the
lChristian population favored indepen-
dence for the islands with a protector
ate by the United States. Only few
speakers advocated complete separa-
ton, while occasionally speakers OPP
posed independence in any form at
present.
Many natives, especially property
owners told the commissioners in pri-
vate conferences that they believed the
present relations between the United
States and the Philippines, should con-
tinue indefinitely.
Among the non-Christian tribes. com
prisinE Approximately 350,00O people in
the mountainous provinces the leaders
expressed to the mission the warmest
friendship for the United States and
opposed independence. The leaders said
they desired the privilege of conducting
their own local affairs under American
supervision and that they believed "A
continuation of the present insular
government would be best for their
people.
At public meetings along the west
coast there was further exchange in
the views on independence and the
party travelled southward. In the
province of Ilosnortc a largo majority
of the speakers were insstent upon an
