Road Magnet Removes
Much Iron From H'way

One of the smaller units of the road
magnet operated by the State Highway
Department in charge of j. H. Barton,
Jackson, was in Lexington Friday af-
ternoon making a tour of the highways
in Holmes county. Mr.. Barton had left
Kosciusko that morning, coming to Du-
rant, thence down to Pickens and from
there to Lexington in his days drive,
picking up 800 lbs. of metal in the road
that ranged from tacks and nails to to-
bacco cans and broken spring leaves.
Mr.. Barton stated that the smaller units
were employed on the secondary roads
now, the large road magnets being used
on the main highways, the latter pick
ing up as high as 1900 lbs. in day.
Mr.. Barton stated that he operated
the road magnet at Yazoo City follow
ing the cyclone and picked up huge
amount of metal scattered over that ter
ritory in the aftermath of the storm.
He spent the night here Friday planning
to go to Tchula and back Saturday and
taking a run out to Acona before turn
ing south again. The machine has been
very successful in removing articles
from the road, and the amount of pune
lures gotten out of the traffic lanes
by the road magnet has caused the fill
ing station men to call the machine
"slow death" to the tire repair business

Game Warden X. H. Diggs was in Lex
lngton Saturday and stated that public
notice had been given by the State Came
and Fish Commission of the closing of
all lakes in the state of Mississippi to
commercial fishing by the use of seines
between May l and September l inclu-
slve. This order has been given in at
tempt to conserve the game fish and the

ignated as lakes.

Tung Oil Trees Grow
Fine In Holmes Co.

f. l.. Landrum, superintendent of the
Black Hawk school was in our city Sat-
urday following closing of the institu-
tion for the year the past week, and
greeted friends in Lexington while here.
MI Landrum is very enthusiastic over
the prospects of growing the tung trees
in this section, bringing 54 of the trees
back with him early in the year that he
had obtained in South Mississippi.
These trees were given out to friends
in Holmes, Carroll and Montgomery
counties and from available reports
made to him, practically ninety-five per
cent of them are growing. Mr.. Landrum
placed two in Holmes county,two in
Carroll county and SO in Montgomery
county.
The tung trees produce a nut that is
used in varnish manufacture and the
success of the trees in Mississippi has
caused South Mississippi men to build a
factory that will make the oil for this
purpose. 1t has started new industry
in the state and the success of the trees
growing this far north has been very
satisfactory to Mr. Landrum as it will
also allow the people in this section to
raise the trees on a commercial scale
and add to the income. If you are in
terested you can discuss this matter
with Mr.. Landrum.

Parkinson Reports
Berry Crop Damaged

Norman Parkinson, of the Bethe esda
community, was in Lexington last Sat
urday and stated that this year was a
very disastrous one for raisers of straw
berries in his section, as the rain and
hail, combined with the generally un-
favorable weather all season, had great
ly reduced the crop of berries as well
as retarded any growth.
He stated that his report was appli-
cable to other berry growers in the sec
tion towards Durant, and all growers
were not getting the price this year as
expected. Some shipments were being
made however which were helping ou,
in financial demands. With favorable
weather and plenty of sunshine, the
strawberry growers are hoping to re-
coup some of the losses sustained so

Negro Boy Constructs
Fine Model Airplane

Richard Sims, negro youth of the West
Grove community, was in Lexington Sat
urday afternoon, bringing along a per-
feet model of an airplane he had con-
structed out of odds and ends. The
plane was we'll made in every respect
and all details carefully followed out.
1t was Of a larger size than the regular
toy models generally offered for sale.
Its flight was made by swinging it
around in a circle on long piece Of
wire, the constant drone generally made
by airplane motors being made by two
pieces of rubber bands cut from an old
inner tube and concealed along the wings
the wind causing the humming sound.
Richard said at his home. he had tall
pole with a ratchet arrangement that
made the plane circle high in imitation
OF the real flight. His demonstration
on Beale street attracted large crowd
for quite while.

Stealing
Racket Slumps
The 100000 Cars Stolen Last
Year 80 Per Cent OF Them
Are Recovered

Some 100000 automobiles were
stolen in the United States last
year and about 225,OO0, or 80
per cent were recovered.
That the auto stealing racket
Aourishing as it did a few
years ago is disclosed in a survey
made by the American Automobile
Association which halls the pro-
gress in curbing the activities of
organized rings Of thieves as due to
stronger laws, greater police vigil
ance, heavier penalties and the in
creased difficulty in selling the
stolen cars.
The survey showed that while
the number of cars stolen by Or
ganized "racketeers" is steadily de-
creasing, the theft of autos for the
purpose of stripping them of re-
movable parts, and thefts by
."joyriders'' who abandon the cars
in out-of- the-way places continue
a serious problem, particularly in
large cities.
The proportion of stolen cars
recovered increased from II per
cent in 1920 to 80 per cent in
1882. Reports from 70 cities
showed an average decline of 49,
per cent in the number of car
thefts last year as compared with
1881.

Teachers Will Get
Smaller Salaries
During This Year

North Carolina teachers will re-
celve about $543 a year, $45 a
month for II months, or $6S a
month for the eight months of &C
tual teaching for next two years,
based on the estimate of the State
School commission that about $12,-
100000 Of the $16,000,000 will
be available for teacher salaries, ano
that there will be about $4,000
teachers. These estimates were
reached following the meeting of
the commission last week. A
committee was named and will BIZ
meeting this week from a COM
mittee of the state board of edu-
cation to work out a salary sche-
dule for teachers for the comins
years.
Meanwhile, the school commits
sion directed that plans be made
for auditing the school funds fol-
1925. State Auditor Baxter
Durham, armed with an opinion
from Attorney General Brummitt
that he would be liable on his bond
for $l6,000,0 900 school fund, ap-
peared to ask funds to conduct the
audit. The school machinery law
directs that the commissions in con.
iuncrion with the local govern,
ment commission, shall cause al
audit to be made" Of the funds
1t is likely that a continuing audi,
will result, instead of an audit a,
the end of the year, regardless Of
whether the state auditor or tn
commission has it done.
School folks are taking the view
hat the low salaries in these time
of initiation will reap great bene-
fits from their plight for the mex
two years, and that, though the,
will be hard hit by tn low scale
while other things are expected tt
soar, they will gain in sympathy
for their plight, resulting in a much
more favorable attitude from tn,
next and succeeding legislatures.

public funds for relief, supplant-
ing Stanly county, which had only
2.S per cent. Until June, Stanly

of destitution of any county in the
state. Avery was highest in desti-
tuition, 4o.l per cent of its popula-
ton receiving relief funds.
Extensive improvements has
been shown in the last month Or
two in the state and still further
