ERRORS IN COUNTY EXHIBIT

Two errors which occurred in the

caused considerable comment on the
part of many taxpayers. The first
of the items which was put in type
exactly as per the copy furnished
the publisher was IS. B. Howard,
serving county home, $623.1S" Mr..
Howard had nothing 20 do with the
county home, but received $623.18
for surveying the county line be-
tween Watauga and Caldwell as di-
rected by the legislature of 1925. In
August, the exhibit relates, A. E.
South received $775.OO for services
as county accountant and juvenile
judge. This should have been SIS,
the doubled numeral having slipped
by the proofreader.

closed since the Christmas holidays

Gus winter opening in the history Of

were present.

tor who was not in line of duty, she
being delayed in Greensboro on ac-
count of the illness of her sister.

QUESTION MARK LANDS
AFTER $50 HOURS IN AIR

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. THE
army's endurance flight plane, the
Question Mark, glided to a perfect
landing at 2:07 o'clock this after
noon after a record smashing flight
of $50 hours, 40 minutes and Is
seconds. The ship flew continuous
ly for more than six days and nights
tan Airport here new years morning
at 1926 O'Clock.
The end of one of the greatest
flights in all aviation history came
after crew of five weary men had
fought constantly against time and
motors which piled trouble in a heap
upon them an hour before the land
ing. Thirty hours before, their
work seemed near an end when the
motors baked, but the trouble clear
ed away and the flight went on as
though in protest to the great strain
placed upon them, the motors finally
suffered, one went dead" and with
another rapidly failing, they forced
the nose of the ship earthward. Pre-
vious motor trouble had been almost
negligible. While in the air the tri-
motored Fokker travelled approx
mately II, 500 miles, consumed s.
2O5 gallons of gas and 262 gallons
of oil; made SO contacts with refuel-
ing plane and carried a tonnage OF
supplies and fuel transferred to it to-
falling $4,000 pounds. The plane
maintained an average speed of 7C
nniles trer hour and maintained ar
average altitude Of $500 feet dur
ing the flight

INFLUENZA SITUATION
HERE is IMPROVING

The influenza situation seems to
be rather improved in this cCmmuni-
ty. For the first time since the cpl
dcmic began, physicians are report
ing a decrease in the number of new
calls. Pneumonia contracted from
flu is described by doctors as the
most severe on record, it having
been practically 100 per cent fatal.
The schools are now open, the Pas
time Theater reopened Saturday
night and reports are more hopeful.
Scattering reports, however, from
the country districts would indicate
that the situation is little, if any,
improved.

REINFORCEMENT BILL
GETS FAVORABLE REPORT

Washington, Jan. 5.-North Caro-
lima would gain one member of con-
gress under the reapportionment bill
which was reported to the house yes
terday, but it would not become eff
fective until 1882, even if the bill
passes this SESSION.
California would gain six mem
bers, Michigan four, Ohio, three,
Texas and New Jersey two, while
Connecticut, Florida, Oklahoma and
Washington would each gain one
member along with North Carolina,
according to the estimates made on
the probable population of 1880.
Missouri would lose two members
and each of the following states
would lose one member: Indiana,
Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode
Island and Vermont.
Senator Vandenburg has ntro-
duced similar measure in the SEN
ate with the avowed object of ex-
pediting the passage of the bill
Word has come from the White
House that President Coolidge wants
it to go through. All Republican
leaders are on record as favoring its
passage, and it is expected to pass
but it will not mean another new
member for North Carolina unit
after 1882.

MELON TO SUCCEED SELF

Washington, Jan. 8.-One cabinet
appointment is considered settled.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
lunched with President-elect Hoover
today and spent an hour and half
with him. The deduction is that un-
less Mellon was going to continue as
secretary he would not have spent so
much time with the incoming presi-
dent, when the ordinary periods for
these conferences was only Is min
utes. Mr.. Mellon slipped out at a
rear entrance to avoid questio ming.
Hoover indicated long since he hoped
Mellon would stay and Mellon hav-
ing let it be known he likes the job,
it is deemed certain there will be
no change as to the treasury.
