the Power to Act

DV ~ RACK E:RVVLL

RALEIGH. Feb. 2O-A free road up
Mt Mitchell is believed assured as a
result of the action taken by the state
Highway and Public Works Commits
sion Wednesday, which authorized the
appointment of a committee with tull
power to act to acquire either one OF
the present toll roads up the noun
tain or to build a new one. A repre-
sentative of the National Park Ser
vice is expected here either today or
tomorrow to confer with this commit
tee Ind to outline the type of plan
which will be acceptable to the Ma
tional Park Service and the war De-
partment, in Order to insure the loca-
ton of a Civilian Conservation Corps
camp near Stepp's Gap.
The National Park Service and war
Department agreed to locate this CCC
camp on Mt Mitchell for the develop
ment of the State Park area on its
summit, while a special grant was al
so made 60 ~ building of cabins
for campers, installation of water and
sewage facilities, provided the high
way commission opened up a free
road to the summit, The highway
commission agreed to this last sum-
mer but actual move had been made
in that direction and it was learned
recently that the commission did not
intend to do anything about a road
up Mt. Mitchell until the spring OF
1887. When the War Department
heard this, it served notice that the
CCC camp would not be located on
Mt. Mitchell and that the grant for
the development of the State Park on
its summit would be withdrawn, I'M
less steps were taken to provide the
free road Immediately.
The Department of Conservation
and Development get busy immediate
ly and sought a hearing before the
highway commission, which met here
Yesterday A special committee from
the Board of Conservation, composed
of Director r. Bruce Etheridge, j. L.

Raleigh, Feb. 20.-Automobi1e acct
dents so far in February, especially
fatal accidents, have been decidedly
fewer than in previous months. with
the exception of January, Captain
Charles D. Farmer, of the State High
way Patrol, said today Bad weather
and the fact that there have been
fewer cars on the roads have been the
chief factors in the decrease in the
number of accidents, although the
newspapers safety campaigns and the
manner in which the newspapers
have been stressing safety and acct
dent stories has been the next most
influential factor in reducing acct.
dents, Capt. Farmer said.
There is no doubt that automobile
drivers are driving more carefully
IMAM they were few months ago"
captain Farmer said. II notice Il
every day when I am out on the roads
ana IN every section of the State. 7
also think the larger highway patrol
and the fact that the patrolmen ara
no" spending all their time patrolling
tne roads and no longer have any
other duties, is one of the reasons for
Cnls better observance of the high
way laws. But too much credit cannot
De given the newspapers for the edu-
catlonal and promotional work they
nave done in faniliarizing the public
with the laws and in making the
pubic more safety conscious

CATTLE ON FARMS
INCREASE % PRCT.
Record for State in Five
Years 193O-1935 Shown
in Survey Made

College Station, Raleigh, Feb. 20-A
Is per cent increase in the number of
cattle on North Carolina farms from
April 1, 1880, to January I, 1885, was
reported here today
The increase was from 532,631 to
684, 266 head of cattle, according to
charge of animal husbandry research
at State College, by the federal bu-
reau of the census.
The number of swine increased
from 838,994 to 947, 143, he said, but
the number of sheep fell off from 1885,
% to 77,O44 or almost so per cent.
Cattle was reported on 210,537
North Carolina farms last year, as
compared with 161, 532 farms in 1880.
The number of farms on which there
were cattle jumped from SIT to 70 per
cent of all farms in the State.
Due to lower value per head, the
value of all cattle last year was $14,-
435056 while in 1880, despite the few
er number, the value Of cattle over
three months old was 500, 483,726
Hogs were found on 198,98O farms
last year, as compared with 1891 in
1890 But in spite of the increase in
numbers, the total valuation Of hogs
dropped from $7,325,446 to $685., 287.
The decrease in sheep was account
ed for more by decrease in herd
size rather than in the number of
farms on which sheep were being
raised. Sheep were listed on 5770
farms last year and on 6,268 = rms
five years before.
The drop from $1.O22,86O to $288, 915
in the value of all sheep was attri-
buted both to the great decrease in
number and to the lower value per
head HnSte tler stated

Chapel Hill, Feb. 20.-Desplte the
fact that all appropriations allotted 10
PWA have been exhausted, according
to announcement from Washington,
North Cardinals state and local gov
ernmnets still have applications pend
ing for projects which would cost a
total of $29,855, 1888, DR.. Herman G.
Baity, State PWA director, revealed
today after making a survey.
while none of these unallotted pro-
jects may ever reach realization pe-
cause of lack of appropriations, every
one is being examined so that in event
further funds are made available, con-
struction could be begun promptly,
DR.. Baity said.
The projects which the communities
of North Carolina have expressed a
desire to build, DR.. H. G. Balty salo'
would require loans and grants total
ling $27, 489,639 Of the amounts re-
quested, local and state units ask
loans totalling $14 ,154,939 and grants
totalling $13,334,7OO
These applications are all the more
interesting" Director II. G. Baby
said. because they indicate a desire
on the part of local and state Off
Gals to build permanent and useful
public improvements, for which they
are willing to furnish the greater
share of the COST The fact that these
applications originated with the conf
munities themselves shows their de-
sire to cooperate with the national
government in the PWA program"
To date, H. c. Baity said, North
Carolina has been allotted loans and
grants totalling $6,405,718 making pos
sible the construction of &c projects

ACRE OF ALFALFA
FOR EACH COW HAD

Statesville, Feb. 20.--In 1redell coun-
ty, farmers have slogan: AN acre
of alfalfa for every dairy cow"
And most of them are living up to
it. said A. r. Morrow, county farm
agent, now that they have learned
how to grow the crop successfully.
In 1925, there were scarcely three
or four men in the county growing
alfalfa, but two of them were fairly
successful, Morrow stated, and from
their experience the other farmers got
their enthusiasm.
At present Iredell farmers are rias-
ing 1900 acres of alfalfa, most of
which has been seeded within the past
four years.

state would lose if this CCC camp
should not be located on NIT. Mitcheii
and the State Park there not be de-
veloped. The commission accordingly
voted for the appointment of spe-
cial committee with full power to buy
or condemn one of the existing roads
up the mountain.
It is believed the commission Will
purchase or condemn the Percy toll
road from Black Mountain, if that is
satisfactory to the War Department.

Use Your Ballot!

The greatest possession of free
people is tn balot-the light &c

YET that invaluable heritage is
nrt priZed by millions of otherwise
.ood c,tizens. Proof of this state
can be found in undeni1b'e statistics
In most elections, less than half Of
/ he persons entitled TO vote d. 81.
Il is exceptional when an election
brings 10 the voting booths more
than fifty per cent of enfranch hised
citizens.
One result is that public officials
are elected by minorities-the vote
OF the majorito is silent. Another
md worse result, is tagging of in
tereSts by the people in the thing
which vitally affects US all-our
government.
This year. there are great issues
before us. No matter where we
stand. it is our duty as we'll as ourf
TO mark an x opposite
names of our chOise on the ballet.
Only by doing that, can we have /
popular government.
In Germany the right to vote ha
been virtually abrogared-at the
