Pen Is Vital Tool When
Words Fly Fast in
Trials of Cases.
BY EDWARD C. FULKE

Words were flying thick and fast
in the courtroom. A witness is rae
ing through a verbal narrative in
response to a barrage of questions
by an attorney. The judge inter-
rupts with a question.
Through all this and the general
hub-bub of a courtroom during a
trial, who bears the brunt of the
confusion?
The court reporter!
Bent over tiny desk, the court
reporter sits, with ears tuned to
words that may seal the doom of
man, while the pen flies across the
paper, leaving in its wake a series
of curly-ques, wholly unintelligible
to the layman.
The annual result of a court re-
porter'S work amounts to thousands

NO ELECTION BOOTHS
APPROVED BY BOARD

The state board of elections has
not approved any particular type
of election booth and also plans to
purchase booths for all counties de-
string it to do so, Judge J. Crawford
Biggs, chairman of the board an
nounces.
Judge Biggs stated in Raleigh last
week that he had received informa-
ton that certain election booth sales
men were telling county authorities
that the board had decided not to
pudchase booths for TIE counties and
that others were saying the board
had approved a certain oooth.
Some counties, Judge Biggs said
he had been informed, have already
placed orders direct for booths. He
said he believed the counties could
save money by placing their orders
through the board, or in any event
by not placing orders too hurriedly.
Prices submitted the board at it's
August meeting for all steel booths
were slightly higher than those swith
steel frames and canvas sides, but
within the past few days new prices
have been submitted for the ali-steel
booths which are lower than the steel
frame ones.

BAPTISTS CLOSE VERY
SUCCESSFUL MEETING

The series of meetings which had
been in progress at the Baptist
Church for II days came to a close
Friday evening and the results of
the services are most gratifying to
the Baptists as we'll as to the mem
bers of the other denominations rep
resented in the churches of the city.
Rev. B. f. Morris, pastor of Wes-
tern Avenue Baptist Church States
vile was the visiting minister and
Notwithstanding the very unclement
weather the house was packed for
each service a greater part of the
time. The services We're most i'm
pressive and deep interest was
manifested from the beginning. The
conversions numbered about 40, and
more than two hundred members re-
consecrated their lives to the service
of Christ at a special reconsecration
service held. There were 81 bap-
tisms, with a few yet waiting, while
81 united with the church by letter
or came under it's watch care Of
this latter number a great many are
college students who are here for the
winter term at the Normal.
1t is felt by the pastor and other
Christian people that the church is
greatly revived and that the COM
munity as whole received Won
derful blessing from the services.

A small number of the old Con-

toned to doing for long number of
years. But in those earlier days the
number was large, but today there
were only four present and these
were given the privilege of talking
to the students. Afterwards they
were taken to the central dining hall
for dinner, as has been done at all
other times. At 2:30 they held their
memorial exercise in the college au-
ditorium and classes were dismissed
in order that the students and facul-
ty might attend. DR.. J. D. Rankin in
troduced Hon. w. R. Lovill, who
made very fine talk as is his Gus

troduced by DR.. Rankin and made a
good short talk. Dixie" and other
songs were sung. The college is al
ways glad to have these splendid he
roes to assemble here ,and extend
the very best wishes to them.
Prof. Smith Hagaman, county su-
perintendent of schools for Watau-

ing facts about the school situation
in the county. He said that at this
time there are 600 students from the
county attending high school in the
county and in other high schools and
100 students attending college from
the county in this and other colleges.

AT
SCHOOL IS URGED
Records for Last Year Show that
Out of an Enrolment of 4,626
Children in the County, 1,O51
Were Absent Every Day

Realizing the Importance of regu-
lar attendance in the public schools,
not only from the point of view of
the welfare of the child, but also
from an economical standpoint, the
division of school attendance of the
state board of public welfare has
furnished the following information
regarding the school attendance in
Watauga county. The figures in
clude both the white and colored
schools:
According to the records of 1928
29, 1926 children were enrolled in
the schools in this county. Of that
number 3,575 were present each
day, and 1,051 were absent every
day during the school year. The per
capita cost for instructional service
for the year is not available but in
1928 this county spent S16.O5
per white child and $18.72 per col
ored child, which shows that each
year there is being spent a large
sum of money for which full value is
not received, due to the fact that so
many children are absent each dav
during the school year and are not
taking advantage of the opportuni-
ties provided for them.
Since the number Of teachers per-
mitted by the state equalizing board
is based upon the average daily at
tendance, the county is forced to pay
for extra teachers to care for the
situation caused by poor attendance.
Due to the low average attendance in
our schools last year, this county
employed and paid from local funds
one extra teacher, at a cost, accord
ing to the state average, of over
5000. This additional financial bur-
den could in a large measure be re-
lieved if every school child in the
county was kept in school regularly
In increasing the average daily
attendance we will not only be giving
the children of the county the op-
portunities which are rightfully
theirs, but also lessening the burden
of the local tax payers.

ANNOUNCE
BIGGER STORE IN BOONE

Mr. W. R. Sprainhour of Hickory
was here over the week end looking
after details incidental to the open
ing of the bargain basement at the
Spainhour store which event has
been advertised for Friday. He was
accompanied by Mr.. C. E. Tate, the
newly-employed advertising mana
ger and H. M. Jeffries, manager of
the shoe department
The basement, which had been US
ed by the Rhodes Day Furniture Co.,
has been remodeled for the opening
and is stocked with large line OF
medium priced and inexpensive mer-
chandise, ready-to-wear, piece goods
in short lengths, mems work clothing
etc. Addition of the new department
is brought about by a desire on the
part of the management to carry a
larger line of the more moderately
priced goods, which are being taken
to the basement, and also because
1t was necessary that more room be
set aside on the main floor for the
shoe department in order to meet the
increased demand. The stock of shoes
is being doubled, and there will be a
greater outlay and finer display of
the better class of merchandise than
ever before on the main floor. 1t
is interesting to note that the local
store outgrew its new quarters in
a period of about five months.

glad to hear what Mr.. Williams had
to say. He announced that he was
going to give a five dollar gold
piece to the most polite student in

prompts Prof. Williams to make the
announcement.
