.FEDERALOFFICE
FORHOUSINGTO
BE ESTABLISHED
Parker Tie COmpany's New Building
to Be Headquarters; Agent
Explains Regulations

A representative of the Asheville
office of the Federal Housing Admin
istration spent Monday in the Jeffer-
sons and spoke Monday evening to a
group of interested men and women in
the offices of the Duncan Motor Com
pany in this city.
AS a result of the officials visit,
headquarters for the giving out of in
formation and the filing Of necessary
papers will be set up in the office of
the Parker Tie Company with a
FERA worker attending to the rou-
tine. The Parker Tie Company has
recently moved into the Wade Van
noy building directly back Of the
Duncan Motor Company.
According to information gained at
the Monday night meeting, the money
is actually lent by the banks or any
other accredited loaning company.
The Housing Administration gives
the bank lending the money the as
surance that it will be paid back one
hundred per cent. After the house is
built, the administration takes
mortgage on it and the lot for the
amount borrowed from the bank and
lends the money to the owner who
then pays off the money owing at the
bank. The debt then becomes one be-
tween the mortgagor and the mort
gage.
The full amount Of the appraised
worth of the property will not be
lent. It is lent up to 80 per cent of
the value, and may be paid back in
from one to twenty year installments
although it was learned that it takes
! only a little over II years to pay
back a twenty year loan due to the
arrangement of the monthly payment
plan. Loans may be paid off at any
time during the time set for time
limit, and if by chance it is impossi-
BILE for owners to meet payments, he
is refunded what he has paid in with,
of course, discounts for the legal
work included.
$4,000 is the maximum loan on
$4,000 structure. No money is lent
for purely business building. The pro-
gram is designed to promote home
ownership.
There are two lending plans: one
applies only to towns and cities and
is for new construction, the second
applies to all sections and is for re-
pairs and remodeling.
Ira T. Johnston, jefferson attorney,
has booklets containing information
relative to the borrowing of money
from the administration, and those
interested are invited to visit the
Parker Tie Company for further in
! formation.

Electric Chair Abolished

A lethal gas chamber was provided
to be substituted after July 1 for the
electric chair in legal executions.
A number of measures sent to the
state from the national government
in Washington became law. They pro-
vide for full state participation in
the federal public works program.
The lawmakers also wrote into law
several bills aimed at clearing the
way for provision of federal funds
for pert development at Morehead
City.
Occupational diseases and sufferers
from them were placed under the
terms and benefits of the workmen's
compensation act.
The estimate of Der tax yields was
boosted 100000 annually when the
legal alcoholic content of the bever-
age was raised from 80 to five per
cent.

will henceforth be known as "game

positions must have a knowledge of
wildlife and of the statutes for pre-
tecting game.
For the second year the budget
balance is more dependent upon bust
ness conditions, since appropriations
are increased by approximately ST.
75O, 900 but the tax levies remain at
the same rate.
"A. J. Maxwell, commissioner of
revenue, estimates that six per cent
increase in business during 1867
over his estimates for 1855 will
provide a balanced budget for the
biennoum without cutting allotments
to state departments and institutions.

FARM COMMITTEE
TO MEET MAY 10
Duncan, Chairman of Group, to Help
Indebted Farmers; 1O2 Rehabili-
tatiOn Cases Being Cared for

The farm debt adjustment commit
tee has set it's regular meeting dates
on every scond and fourth Saturday
of each month. The next meeting will
be held on Saturday, May Is, at the
local relief office.
B. H. Duncan, of Trade, has been
appointed chairman of the group and
the following are members: G. B.
Price, secretary, J. r. Phipps, B. C.
Pennington, and w. L. Dent.
The purpose of the committee is to
work out a plan whereby farmers
who are heavily in debt may liquidate
their debts. The program is worked in
cooperation with the debtor, the one
whom the debtor owes, and the gov
eminent. All persons wishing to avail
themselves of the opportunity offer
ed by the farm debt adjustment COM
mittee should see one of the members
before their meeting and have the
matter presented to the committee, or
such PRISONS may come directly to the
committee while it is in regular ses-
sion.
w. B. Oliver, head of the local re-
lief office, states that there is no
general farm program being put on
in the county this year but that 102
cases, known as rehabilitation cases,
are being cared for. These farmers
get money from the government to
pay for seeds, fertilizer, ETC., and
obligate themselves to pay the bor-
rowed money back in the fall.
The relief offices are also trying
to get away from giving direct relief
as orders have been received to help
only employable people. Those who
cannot work and are not able to make
a living are considered by the federal
government as being normal charges
of local governments.

DOUGHTON STILL
GETS LETTERS ON
GOVERNORSHIP
Some Express Qualification at Choice
While Others Are Sorry Thate
He Will Not Run

Washington. - Letters expressing
qualification and disappointment con-
tue to pour into the office of Con-
gresham r. L. Doughton in connec-
ton with his recent decision not to be
a candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination in the 1886 primaries.
A large majority of the letters
coming from the Ninth Congressional
District-which he has represented
for a quarter of a century-congratu-
late Mr.. Doughton on his long and
remarkable career in Congress and
express qualification that he did not
enter the race for Governor.
Letters coming from other sections
of the state outside of Mr.. Dough-
toms district, almost without excep-
ton, express keen disappointment
that the Congressman did not toss
his hat into the ring.
Editorial comment, appearing in
PRACTICAL all state papers, dailies and
weeklies, briefly summarized, indi-
Gates:
/. That as Chairman Of the Ways
and Means Committee, Mr.. Doughton
is in a position to be of as much SER
vice to the State as that Of a Cover
nor.
2. That it would be distinct loss
to the state and nation should he re-
linquish the post as Chairman of the
most powerful Committee in Con-
gress.
3. That the Ninth District especial
ly would be reluctant to give him up
as their Representative, following his
long and illustrious career in Con-
gress.
Certainly no man in the public life
of North Carolina in recent years has
received so much favorable comment
and attention as Congressman Dough
ton. And it can be truthfully said that
no one could be more grateful for the
very generous and almost superlative
commentator and praise of his rec
ord than is Mr.. Doughton.
