NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE HEAVIEST CAT

Tiny Tinker is the name Of remarkable cat III
Essex, England, says writer in Catholic Young
People's Friend. Everybody for miles around
knows TINY. and tourists driving through the COM
munity often stop their cars to watch the pet on
the little patch of lawn in front of his mistress
cottage. For this cat tips the scales at over 80
pounds He is believed by its owner, and many
others. to be the heaviest cat in the world
What strengthens Tiny's claim to the champion
shin in size is the fact that his claim has not been
questioned by any cat owner, though his picture
has appeared in many English magazines and
newspapers
In reply to many hundreds of questioning les-
tiers, Miss Durham, the cats owner, explained that
Tiny has never been fed any special diet intended
to increase his bulk He just grew along naturally
until he attained his extraordinary size.
He was not unusually large when first born-ln
fact he was the smallest of litter of six kittens
At the age of six months he was no different from
other cats of his age; but from then ne began TO
grow remarkably, and it was not until recently
that he stopped growing. For about six months
now TINY has held his weight of 81 pounds and
six ounces and it is probable that he has his
growth-at last.

SOMETHING FOR THE GOVERNOR TO DO

If Governor Ehringhaus is ambitious to single
out some line of possible achievement to major in
during the remainder of his administration and one
that would identify ris regime to posterity as one
of great achievement, he will follow up the idea
he dropped while in Charlotte the other day and
90 to the mat with this important matter of county
consultations.
The people Of this state not realizing what a
financial drain it is upon them to keep up 100 diff
ferent counties under systems of government that
are in many instances obsolete and in many other
instances represent costly duplication of effort
If they could ascertain, even approximately,
what such piece of business is costing them, they
would be shocked into sentiment to do something
about the needless waste of their money and the
perpetuation of the inefficiencies and cumbersome
machineries they are now financing.
Governor Ehringhaus might not be able to bring
this achievement about even during the while ne
remains at the head of the state, but what this
reform needs, above all things else, at present is
dynamic leadership and a militant and aggressive
boice that will be heard throughout the state.
His carries farther right in efforts of this
nature than that of any other man in the public
life of the state and The Observer believes he
coul dgo places were he to consent to make this a
paramount objective of the next two years of his
ministration.-Charlotte Observer -.

RESTORE ONCE ACRE OF LAND


On recent tour through the IVA territory
hundreds of acres of land were pointed out to US
which have washed so badly that they will no
longer produce crops. , -.... .-
There are thousands of acres in the state Of
North Carolina from which the rich, humus-flled
topsol has been washed away, leaving these fields
so unproductive that they will not make a crop
that will sustain life.
After heavy rain when see the creeks and
the rivers running red with mud it seems as if the
very ife-blood of the country is being drained.
There is scarcely farm in this territory which IS
not losing valuable land each year and it is true
now and always will be that as soil grows poorer,
people living on nthat soil grow poorer.
1t is possible to prevent our lands washing away
and to build up this soil The IVA people have
found the most inexpensive way to be the blowing
in of gullies, and loosening the soil, and then
seeding the soil and covering with straw, which in
turn is held down by brush. This is a method
that can be used by every farmer.
And if each farmer will make point of re-
building at least one acre year the time will
come when we not only have stopped the tremen-
dous loss that is now impoverishing the country
but We will find that our soil is growing richer and
our country growing more sperous.-Federa-

A report from Raleigh some

highway patrol turned in 1913,
$40 during the fiscal year ended
June go, 1884. This is more than
five times the amount allotted
for its maintenance, and a net
profit to the state of $54O,92O.
Assuming these figures to be cor

business for the next general as.

about five times? The net reve-

be expected to amount to ST.
