20 ENGINEERS
IN JEFFERSONS
Federal WOrkmen Plan to Be in Ashe
Several Weeks Locating Scenic
Parkway Permanently

Twenty federal highway engineers
arrived in the Jeffersons the first of
the week and began to look for
housing accommodations for the next
two or three months that they expect
to be stationed in the county working
on permanent location for the park
to park highway which was located
through this county last year. In
many instances, tie engineers have
their families with them.
1t is understood that actual con-
stuction on the first units of the $50
mile roadway will get underway
shortly.
Various causes have contributed to
the delay in starting the projects, the
foremost having been the tying of
available funds by delay in passing
the $4,880, 900, 900 work relief bill and
2,owness on the part Of North Caro-
ma and Virginia in securing neces-
sary rights of way. The right of way
ill be 1000 feet wide over that con-
siderable portion of the route which
will pass through government lands.
The right of way through privately
owned land will average 800 feet, but
will be as narrow as 200 feet in some
places. However, on the portions of
the parkway having a narrow right
of way, the government will require
"scenic easements" to the extent of
the full 1000 feet in order to guard
against road signs and other insight
ly constructions.
In Virginia, the 200 feet has been
secured but not the necessary "scenic
easements" over much of the route.
In North Carolina there has also been
much delay, but two sections of the
proposed parkway between Blowing
Rock and the Virginia line are now
practically ready for the letting Of
the contracts. This stretch, totaling
60 miles, will probably be the first
to be constructed with the stretch
through the Cherokee Indian reserva-
ton the second on the schedule.

CAPT. RACKLEY
GETS 2 CONVICTS
AFTER BREAK

Capt'n ]. L. Rackley, superinten-
dent of the county prison camp al
Warrensville, spent an exciting thirty
minutes Wednesday afternoon when
he looked up from his work on his
yard across from the prison and saw
two Of his convicts taking leg bail
down the railroad track at about
ninety miles per. Mr.. Rackley started
in quick but unarmed pursuit while
other prison officials swarmed to his
aid.
AS quickly as achievements ar
rived, Mr.. Rackley left them to con-
tinue the race while he went for Paul
Sutherland and his bloodhound. The
dog picked up the trail within a few
minutes after he was brought to
Warensville and the. negroes were
found lying flat in the !, bushes in
some nearby woods. The camp offici-
ais were close behind the dog and the
convicts were returned to the camp
to try a diet of bread and water.
The negroes had tried to break out
Of prison previous to this but not in
this camp. They are said to be a bad
class of prisoners and were very sui
len and resentful when caught.

LOCAL GIRL GETS
HIGH RATING AT
NURSING SCHOOL
Ruth Gambill to Sponsor Medical
Society of Wake Forest College;
Chosen Prettiest Girl

Miss Ruth Gambill, daughter OF
DR.. and Mrs. J. C. Gambill, has
reached an enviable position during
her two years of study in the School
of Nursing at Duke University. She
has been elected secretary and treas
urer Of her class and has been chosen
one of the three outstanding students
in the school. The work done in the
nursing school is particularly hard
and exacting and the honor of being
near the top of her class is one that
Miss Gambill has not gained without
deserved merit.
Miss Gambill also recently won the
honor of being chosen the prettiest
girl in her class. The selection was
made by Ex-Governor o. Max Gard
ner The contest was held at the re-
quest of the Medical Society of Wake
Forest College who chose this method
of electing sponsor for the society.
Miss Gambill, therefore, will sponsor
the Wake Forest Medical Society
as the prettiest girl in the Duke Uni
versity nursing school.

ASHE FARMERS
HEAR EXPERTS

Around 100 Ashe farmers heard
]. A. Arey and J. r. Farnhum, of the
state department Of agriculture, dis.
cuss plans for the betterment of the
beef and dairying outlook and the
value of home grown feeds when they
lectured at a county wide farmers
meeting held at tn local gymnasium
Tuesday.
John Foster, native of this county
was on the program but was unable
to attend.
Mr.. johnson, manager Of the local
cheese factory, discussed the coopera-
ton of the farmers with his factory.
He brought out the fact that the IA
vorable conditions here for dairying
enable our cheese to compete with
that manufactured in Wisconsin and
New York.
A committee is to be appointed ito
induce Mr.. Kraft to place about 80
purebred dairy cows and sires in the
county to be used to further the in
dustry. The Importance of trench
silos and the growing of better
grasses was stressed.
Mr.. Johnson gave figures to show
that the consuming of cheese in the
south since 1928 has shown an in
crease of one-third per cent.

PRESIDENT GOES TO CAPITOL TO
DELIVER VETO OF BONUS ISSUE
Chief Executive Feels that Measure
Was of Such Importance that
He Broke Precendents

Never before has a President of
the United States felt that any meas
uge-ale WAS called upon to veto was
OF such Importance that he should
take his reasons directly to Congress,
but that is what President Roosevelt
did Wednesday when he vetoed the
Patrnan bonus bill which has recently
been passed by both the house of
representatives and the senate. He
appeared personally before a joint
meeting in the Capitol at twelve
thirty, Wednesday afternoon, and de-
spite great amount of sentiment for
the measure, he was enthusiastically
applauded several times during his
short but pointed speech.
President Roosevelt gave specific
y reasons why he felt that his disap-
prevail to the Patman bill was neces-
sary if he were "to weigh the cause
of all the citizens of the United
States on the scales of equity. Fore
most among these reasons is that the
measure calls for the issuance of
treasury notes in order to provide for
the paying of the money which would
amount to over two billions. He said
that such action would imperil the
credit of the nation. He denied that
any great benfit would be derived
from such payments in the matter of
helping to circulate money. This has
been one of Patman's basic argu-
ments. Another strong point brought
forth by Mr.. Roosevelt is that the
bill calls for the payment of the bon
US on a 1915 basis, not on a basis of
what is due now. He declared that it
was not fair settlement to pay this
year the amount that will not be due
until 1915. He cited the instance of
buying $3.50 government bond that
would not mature for ten or twenty
years and asking the government to
pay the full $1,000 shortly after it
was issued without waiting for ma
turity.
Mr.. Roosevelt stated that the SOL
der came home from the army and
was received back into the citizenship
of his country to share its successes
and failures as they came to others.
He cited the fact that veterans were
being given preference on all federal
works that are being carried on.
There is bare chance that the bill
will carry over the Presidents veto,
the weight of the opinion is that the
bonus men will not be able to muster
the necessary two-thirds vote that is
necessary.

NEW SALES TAX
GOES IN EFFECT
JUNE AND JULY
Three Per Cent ExemptiOnless Levy
With Other New Taxes Is Ex-
pected to Balance Budget

North Cardinals new sales tax regu-
lations will go into effect June 1, so
far as applying to meals served in
hotels, tourists homes and camps and
boarding houses, but it will be July 1
before the almost exemptless 3per
cent levy will be applied in general.
Also taking effect the first of next
month is the states new tax on chain
filling stations, which have been ex-
empted from the chain store tax in
the present law. The meals tax and
the chain filling station tax are listed
under Schedule B, the license tax Sec
ton, which is effective one month
earlier than other provisions in the
new revenue act.
Sees Balanced Budget
Although appropriations for the
next two years for state departments
and institutions are $13,280, 628 above
the biennium nearly ended, due prin-
cipally to salary boosts of 20 per cent
for the first year and Is per cent for
the second, A. ]. Maxwell, State COM
missioner of revenue, said today in
his opinion the State budget was bal
anced for 1856 and possibly for
1867 if recovery continues.
The new per cent tax on meals,
governed in the same way as the
general sales tax, may be passed on
to the purchaser and must be ac-
counted for in monthly reports with
in the first Is days of each month.
The taxpayer, under this schedule, is
allowed credit on the sales tax equal
to the amount of sales tax paid on
articles of merchandise used in the
preparation of taxable meals if the
claim of credit is supported by in
voices or memoranda showing the
amount of value of materials pur-
chased, name of vendor, and amount
of sales levy paid.
Only those boarding houses which
advertise in any manner for transient
patronage or solicit such business are
affected. The same distinction is OBJ
servered in the annual license tax on
boarding houses, there being no tax
on those not advertising unless they
have seating capacity in excess of
Is. With Is seats they are liable to
the annual tax of SO per year plus
81 per seat, but even boarding houses
this large are not subject to the sales
tax on meals unless they advertise
or solicit business.
Striking out the exemptions on
staple food articles except for milk,
the General Assembly increased anti
cipated revenue by approximately
$1,5OO,O00, or approximately so cents
per capita, based on population. This
increase about equals the reduction
in passenger car license plates, which
were cut from SIS cents to 40 cents
per hundredweight with the minimum
So instead of $3.50.

NEWSPAPERS CONDEMN ACTION
OF N. c. LEGISLATURE ON LIQUOR
Tar Heels Wonder What Future
Holds for the Is Potential
"Wet" Counties

NOrCn OarO1lnlanS are wondering
what the future holds for 10 eastern
North Carolina counties and the re-
sort towns of Pinehurst and Southern
Pines in this "dry" state as the result
Of "local" laws enacted last week by
the Legislature to establish liquor
stores in the divisions if the voters
approve.
In the closing hours of 123-day
legislative session the Legislature
rushed through a law to permit New
Hanover county, containing Whining
ton and number of seashore resorts,
to have liquor store system if the
voters agree, and the first dent had
been made in the 12-year-old bone
dry state law.
While arguments over the constitu-
tionality of the New Hanover law
were raging, the legislators took
another measure prepared to apply
only to Pasquotank county and pro-
ceeded to amend it in a hodge-p
manner to cover all of II counties and
the More county townships contain
ing Southern Pines and Pinehurst,
well-known winter resorts.
Condemned by Press
Most of the press of the state has
editorially condemned the hurried
legislation on liquor, though Tie
Wilmington Star-News backed the
laws.
Asheville and Greensboro papers
blamed the "closed-mind policy of
the drys" in large part for the condi-
ton.
The Gastonia Gazette said liquor
matters were ain a worse mess than
before" and The Charlotte Oberver
made an editorial prediction the leg
islators would return to a special
session by August to Correct the
grave and objectionable mistake
made in the frenzied last minutes of
its session"
Now the arguments over the con-
stitutionality of both laws are grip
ping the entire state, though all coun-
ties affected are in the eastern half.
There are 100 counties in the State.
Counties Covered
The two statutes cover New Han
over, Pasquotank, Carteret, Craven,
Onslow, Pitt, Martin, Beaufort, Hall
fax, Franklin, Wilson, Edgecombe,
Warren, Vance, Lenoir, Rockingham,
Nash and Greene counties and Pine
hurst and Southern Pines.
In the broad law there is provi-
sion which says any person may
bring into the state not to exceed
four quarts of alcoholic beverages
and legal opinion is widely divided
as to whether this will apply only to
the 10 counties exempted from the
States stringent burlington prohibi-
ton law or whether it applies to each
of the 100 counties.
A court test of the constitutionality
of both laws is believed to be certain
as leaders Of the united drys, who led
in the campaign which resulted in the
state rejecting national repeal in
1888 by a majority of more than
10000, have said each point and
each local election would be contested
to the limit.
