the Basic
Question

In that enlightened journal,
the Enquirer-Sun of Columbus,
Georgia, we find an editorial en-
titled Shameful Educational
Conditions Which Demand the
Attention of the Georgia Legis-
lature." 1t contains copious quo
tations from an article in the
official magazine of the Georgia
Educational Association. The
figures in the article are from
the United States Census and
from reports of the United
States Bureau of Education.
Ten southeastern states are
compared. Georgia is declared
to be the most productive of the
ten, and one of the wealthiest,
"yet it spends for education less
per inhabitant than any of it's
neighbors." and "it is at the bot
tom of the list in state appro-
priations to colleges"
"The notifying record would
be too long," says the Enquirer
Sun, "were we to give the tables
showing the relative stand of
Georgia in farm crops, manu-
factured products, bank re-
sources, property values and in
come returns. Suffice it to say
that in regard to the first named
the state stands second in the
list and in all the others she
stands well up from the bottom.
Besides, what need of tables in
this connection? Do we not
hear day in and day out from
every kind of source that Geor-
gia is one of the most prosper
Gus of the Southern states and
that there is nothing the mat
ter with Georgia."
The author of the quoted ar
ticle and the editor of the En-
quirer-Sun agree that at the
bottom of the trouble is the
problem of taxation. Better
educational facilities are needed ;
they can't be got without money ;
and the money will come only if
the Legislature will provide it
through taxes.
North Carolina has been
boasting these many years of
it's liberal expenditures for edu-
cation. It's claim to liberality
has been based largely upon
comparisons with the other
states in the South and with
it's own earlier career. AS we
have pointed out in these COL
umns more than once, if it COM

KYSER HOME WITH
HIDES OF 2 BEARS
Pharmacy Man Returns from
the Coast with Material
for Rugs
BRUIN ASSAULTED A HOG

Vernon Kyser, member of the
faculty of the University's
school of pharmacy, came back
home from the east coast of
North Carolina Sunday night
with the hides of a full-grown
black she-bear and her tiny black
cub.
In the car with him, besides
the hides, were his uncle, Vernon
Howell; Mrs. Kyser and little
Sarah Curtis; and his sister,
Miss Virginia Kyser, who was
taken aboard at Rocky Mount
and will be in Chapel Hill a week
longer.
Mr. Kyser did not kill the
bears himself. They were des-
patched by natives of Tyrrell
county.
Sunday morning the Howell
Kyser houseboat, upon which
the Howell-Kyser party had been
holiday-making for several
days, was drawn up at Arm
strong's Landing. Not long
after breakfast a farmer, who
lived hundred yards or so from
the water, found the bear in his
hog pen attacking, and evident
ly just on the paint of slaughter
ing, a hog. The farmer, having
no firearms about, stood at the
fence and prodded the visitor
with long pole. The prodding
was done so vigorously that the
bear hoped out of the pen and
made off to her two cubs in the
edge of the nearby swamp.
The cries of the outraged
farmer had aroused the neigh
borhood. A dozen or more Tyr
rell county citizens, awaiting
the church hour all dressed up
in their Sunday best, ran to
their homes and collected their
shotguns, rifles, and dogs. In a
few moments the whole COM
pany was in full chase.
The bear and the cubs had
gone about two hundred yards
into the swamp and climbed a
tree. They were easily located
and promptly shot. The ma
tives not only were quite willing
to give the bodies to the vaca-
tionists from Chapel Hill, but
also helped do the skinning.
One of the cub hides proved to
be not worth keeping.
Upon arriving here, Mr.. KY
ser salted down his trophies and
hung them up to dry in a tree in
Mr.. HowelFs backyard. They
will be converted into rugs-the
larger one for Mrs. Kyser and
the smaller one for Sarah Cur
tis.

Chapel Hill Chaf

= / had thought l had a fairly
good mouse-exterminator in my
spring trap, but discovered that
the John M. Booker home had
a better one in the person of
Mr.. Booker himself. 1t was my
good fortune to be present the
other night to witness the capa-
BILE manner in which he perform
ed this part of a good citizens
duty. The alarm was raised
that a mouse was in a pile of
carpets that had been thrown
out on the tightly screened side
porch to be taken away and
cleaned. Many a time l had
read in English novels of the
"beaters men who scared
pheasants and other game out
of the coverts into the open. On
this occasion, having asked to
be allowed to serve as "beat-
err" and my plea having been
granted, l took up the carpets
one by one and shook them
while my friend stood by armed
with a broom. Again and a.
gain the mouse fell out of the
carpet | shook and burrowed
back into the pile. 1t looked like
an endless job until Mr.. Booker
proposed that, as each was
shaken, it should be carried to
the screen door and tossed, tenn
porarily, out of doors. So, when
reached the last remaining
carpet, the mouse was left with
out a hiding place-and here
entered the skill that stirred my
admiration so deeply. About
the welding Of the broom there
was none of the uncertainty and
amateurishness which | myself
have so often displayed in a like
emergency. One quick, deft
movement-and one less mouse
dWelled within the borders of
Senlac.
When you are running off
Thursday afternoon a paper
bearing the date of Friday, re-
porting a Thursday night event
in the past tense is dangerous.
If | say that "the Carolina Play
makers presented The Poor Lit
tie Rich Girl in the Forest Thea
ire last night" and then if a
rain comes and causes a post
ponement of the performance,
am in bad. If hedge, say
ing that the play was given "if
it did not rain last night" that
sounds funny. | will just disre-
gard the date of the paper and
say, "as of this writing" that
George Denny's class is all set
for the fray and that, if all goes
as it usually does with the Play
makers, the spectators will see
a good show.

WET AND DRY FIGHT
DUE AGAIN
Usual Scrap IN State Legislature
Over Dry Enforcement Act is
Predicted.

Madison-The wet and dry fight
in the legislature this session
promises to be waged just as ardently
as two years ago. There will he bills
to repeal the Severson state dry en-
forcement act as well as legislation
proposed to kill the search and
seizure clause of the same law.
On the other hand, dry forces,
led by d. L. Mcbride, superintend-
ent Wisconsin anti-saloOn league,
are already on the job ready to
block, if possible, and attempt to
weaken or tear down the enforce
ment facilities of the prohibition
department. DrSs want more and
better enforcement" and to this end
will endeavor to have the state
law-making body increase the state
appropriation for that purpose.
The drys point out that last year
there was a distinct falling off in
the number of cases handled, con-
victions not running as high as in
1922 or 1928. They feel that larg-
err force of agents should be pro-
vided on the theory that vlolators
are growing more cunning and are
harder to trap.

Wakefield Highs
Defeat Hurley
Hurley Girls Lose ~ to Is; Boys
Outclassed and Are Defeated by
30 to is Score.

Girls and boys from the Wakefield
High school invaded Hurley last
Friday evening and carried off
honors in basket ball. The girls
team won by score of % to 16 and
the boys team registered a 80 to Is
victory. :
The girls furnished the preliminary
game, putting NJ. an interesting con-
test that delighted the fans. But
the visitors had the better team and
were able to rOmp away with
victory.
The older heads in the Wakefield
boys team with their years of
experience furnished an aggregation
that apparently had the locals out
classed. Hurley showed to best
advantage in the first half and were
able to hold Wakefield we'll in hand.
At the end of the first half the score
was IL to 8 in favor of the visitors.
In the second half Wakefield
launched an attack that Hurley could
not stop, registering basket after
DdSkSt DIT regular liitSi Ndlo anu bAihr
ing the score up to 80 points. Hurley
was able to make but two field
baskets in this half, the other two
points coming as result of free
throws.
Hurley put up game fight but
were unable to penetrate the
visitors defense. On the other
hand Wakefield repeatedly broke up
Hurley's offensive attacks and for a
greater part of the game the locals
were on the defensive.
A large delegation of Wakefield
fans accompanied their teams and
helped swell the attendance.

TWENTY-FIVE GAME WARDENS
LAID OFF.
Dropped From Roll on Account of
No Funds to Pay Them; LegislA-
ture Must Supply Money.

Madison-Owing to exhaustion of
funds, Conservation Commissioner
Elmer S. Hall has laid off % game
wardens throughout the state. They
will not be re. employed until the
legislature acts to supply money to
meet the pay roll.
"Of the number laid off, Mr..
Hall says, ''eight are. regular
wardens. while the remainder have
been employed a shorter period of
time and are more or less temporary.
Just now there is little for the
wardens to do, but when the season
again opens we will need their
services. Throughout the season we
have been carrying peak load of
wardens, first during the trout
season and later the deer season"
To carry on game projection and
meet the wardens' pay roll, an emer-
gency appropriation of $4,000 OF
$4,000 will be asked, Mr. Hall said
Last year wher funds ran low the
emergency. board supplied $4,000
additional, of which $4,000 was
used IN the wardens' department
While the legislature is in session
the emergency board cannot act
When the conservation commission
was reorganized by the last legisla
ture, the appropriations for the en-.
suing biennium were cut $4,000
approximately $4,000 a year.
1t was claimed that this amount
could be saved as result of the re
organization. The emergency boart
soon after appropriated $4,000 t.
make up the $4,000 cut the frs
year and 20 take care of other ex
penses incurred as a result of otheI
legislation. The shortage in tn
second year amounts to more thar
$4,000, and this must be met by
legislative appropriation.
