Data Sought on Which To

Daily Dispatch bureau.
In The Sir Walter Hotel,
By J. G. BASKERVILLE

Raleigh, April 29.-The State School
Commission is now sending out blanks
to the various city and county super
intendents on which they will make
detailed report of their school opera
tons costs this year, which will be us
ed by the commission, when return
ed and tabulated, in alloting the
school funds for next year, Executive
Secretary Lloyd E. Griffin said today.
The figures shown on these blanks,
known as the Organization reports"
for each school, will determine how
many teachers will be allotted next
year and how much will be allotted
each city and county for school pur-
poses from the State appropriation.
Since teachers are allotted on the
basis of the average daily attendance
of each school, those schools which
show a higher average daily attend
ance this year than last will be en-
titled to addition teachers.
Teachers Pay Goes Up.
While all of the school teachers will
get another salary increase OF five per
cent beginning with the next school
year, this increase will not be COM
puted on their 1885 salaries, but on
the basis of the yearly salary they
were receiving as of January 1, 1885,
Griffin pointed out. For the 1885 ap-
preparations act specifically directs
that the five percent increase which
will become effective the fall of 1886,
shall be computed on the basis of the
salary received as of January 1, 1885.
Accordingly, the increase which will
be granted will not amount to as
much as five per cent Of the salaries
paid this year, since the 1885 sal
aries were increased 20 per cent above
the salaries in effect January 1, 1885.
But this increase will give the teach
ers, principals and superintendent an
increase of IS per cent over the sal
aries received as of January, 1885,
Griffin pointed out.

ACCIDENT VICTIM
George Lawrence Newell, Jr., Prom
inent Boy of Townsville, Sue
cumbed in Tragedy

George Lawrence Newell, Jr., who
was one of the victims of the recent
terrible tragedy, near Wise, N. c.
tragedy that shocked the State and
wrought such deep anguish in so
many sorrowing hearts, was a young
man of many rare qualities.
He was born at Novels, Va, April
sixth 1915. His father, the late George
Lawrence Newell of Roxboro, N. c.,
dying in 1918, he with his young sis
ter, Ethel Newell, was left to the ten
der and watchful care of his devoted
mother, the present Mrs. e. B. Tay-
lor of Townsville, N. c., as he grew
into manhood that tender and watch
full care was richly rewarded, for he
proved himself worthy. The bright
and happy boy became the merry &C
tive, diligent and capable trustworthy
man.
He was graduate of Townsville
high school, While physically slight
of build, he proved his metal of both
body and spirit, as in his senior year
he was captain of both basketball and
baseball teams, quick, alert, courage
Gus, capable.
His was no soft nor idle nature.
While happy in his home and environ
ment, he was eager to prove himself
in lifc's activities. In the fall follow
ing his graduation in 1884, he became
connected With the Liggett and Meyers
Tobacco Company, in Henderson, N.
c.. so we'll directed by Mr.. r. S, John
son of that city. Here again he mani
tested such steadfastness, such indus
try, such trustworthiness that he not
only secured and retained the high
regard of others but held with honor
his position to the end.
At comparatively early age he de-
Dictated himself to his Masters serv-

vile, and remained true and faithful
to his high obligations.
His approach" to his fellows was
a thing of charm. While maintaining
ever a proper dignity, so warmheart-
ed was he, so gracious of spirit, so
considerate of others that he quickly
made his way into their hearts. It has
been beautifully said of him: "He
would meet you with smile, and
leave you with laugh and also Gle
was genuine"
Perhaps no more fitting or precious
tribute could be paid him than to say
'"Those who knew him best, admired
and loved him most. "-Contributed.

DROP OF FRANC
BLOW TO TAHITI
DEVALUATION HAS INCREAS-
ED COST OF LIVING FOR
TY PERCENT
(DS Associated Press)

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Dec. s.
Tahiti's depression prosperity"
has come to an end with the de-
valuation of the franc.
For years past favorable ex-
change has made commodity pric-
es low, while the islands principal
export, copra, enjoyed a premium
voted by the French government.
Added to this was an influx of
tour SITS that brought about mod
est building boom.
Deva.uation of the franc has in
creased the cost of living 40 per
cent, and with it came discontinue
ance of passenger service by the
one direct line to America and
Australia. So stringent are condi-
tons that authorities have had to
step in to prevent prof:teering.
Adding to the problem is the
large number of natives who are
now laEdleSs, having forsaken
their tribal homes when there
were plenty of jobs to be had in
town.

Emergency Arising Causes Sewer
Units To Work On 'Of DAYS"

For the first time since the sew
err and water project was started
by the WPA in Key West, it has
become necessary for workmen to
work on days other than those
designated by the rules and regu-
lations.
In this case it is an emergency
and working today and possibly
tomorrow will be in the interest
of saving time and labor on that
part of the project on Newton
street, where it is continually cav
ing in and presents a problem for
those i'm charge.
Roy Goodman, director of WPA
activities, said today that IT
has become necessary to work the
men in order to continue the work
of laying pipe and keeping the
excavations free from water, as
the water is continually undermin-
ing the SIDE walls of the street
long excavation and the walls are
continually falling, filling the
trench and adding to the labor in
volved.
To the end that this condition
may be remedied and future pre-
cipitations of the walls into the
trench be averted, it was decided
to have the forces continue the
work of laying pipe and keeping
the pumps going until the section
where the falling walls are a source
of danger is passed.
