APPRAISAL MADE OF
POST OFFICE SITE
Government May Settle
With Masons Soon for
Lot 1t Took Over

Appraisals have just been made of
the lot taken over by the Government
in charging the post office during the
past year, and some action by the
Treasury in settling with the Masonic
lodge, which owned the site, is looked
for shortly.
Appraisers were named by Federal
Judge l. M. Meekins, of the United
States District Court for Eastern
North Carolina. They were J. w.
Jenkins, T. w. McCracken and w. F.
Horner. It has not been definitely
learned what valuation they placed on
the property, but reports range from
$4,000 up to $4,000. At the time the
government began negotiating for the
lot with view to .enlarging the post
office, the Masons asked for $4,000,
according to reports at the time. It
was also said then that the govern
n1ent offered something like $4,000 or
$12,OOO. There was no definite con-
firmation on either side.
If the government authorities are
displeased with the figure named by
the appraisers, it has the right to ap-
peal to Federal court for a further adj
justment in price.
The Masons held the property for
some IL or Is years, having purchased
it originally with the idea of erecting
on it Masonic temple. The plans did
not materialize, and the property was
held by the lodge here through the
years.

a step would mean "the death of
wage-hour legislation"
The ZIG to 1913 vote, which dealt the
administration it's first major legisla-
tive defeat since the Senate killed the
Roosevelt court bill last summer, was
offset somewhat by Senate approval
of the ever-normal granary farm bill.
Administration chieftains, hopeful
of salvaging another item on the
Presidents program, called the House
into session today to debate legisla-
ton designed to stimulate home con-
struction.
Defeat of the House leadership's at
tempt to get the wage-hour bill ap-
proved left the future of his legisla-
ton uncertainty. Although TECHNICALLY
it still will be "alive" when the jan
uary session begins, Chairman Nor
ton, Democrat, New Jersey, said the
labor committee would have to decide
whether to renew the fight for it's en-
actment or draft an entirely new bill.

MAKE APPLICATION
ON SOIL PAYMENTS
Work Sheets To Be Sent to
Washington Soon After
First of Year

Shortly after the first of the year
the initial batch of completed work
sheets submitted by Vance county
farmers in application for part of the
soil conservation payments by the Fed
eral government will be sent to Wash
ington, j. w. Sanders, county agent
and director of the soil program in
the county, said today. About one
fourth of the total applications will go
at that time.
Payments will not be made before
early spring, probably in March or
April, Mr.. Sanders said.
Soil conservation payments in this
county last spring, on the 1886 crop,
amounted to approximately $4,000.
There were about 1900 checks.
Mr.. Sanders said about 80 percent
of the farmers in the county have
work sheets on their 1886 crops. He
expected about IS percent of that
number to qualify for payments by
complying with the provisions. There
will be about 1910 work sheets, and
approximately LOO of the number
will be eligible to receive payments.
In it's compliance with the conser-
walton program, Vance ranks among
the highest counties in the State on a
percentage basis, Mr.. Sanders explain
ed, saying there had been the highest
cooperation among the farmers here
He thinks compliance in the 1887 crop
for payments next spring, will main
tain this high mark.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
AS one of the tiredest, as well as
beSt-knOwn citizens of this fair com
munity, I wish to protest against
what people have done to winter.
They've taken all the fun out of it.
Winter used to be the lazy mans
season-when he Gould spend all his
leisure time stretched out in an easy
chair before cozy fire and no one
criticized him for it, because that was
the way everybody spent his winter.
And now look what's happened.
Why, there's more out-there used to
be in summer What with such new
tangled sports Ito America, at least)
as skiing, figure skating, bob shedding
and the like, fellow does not have
time to build a fire in the CRATE, much
less relax before it.
People who ought to be relaxed with
good hook in the warmth of their
homes nowadays are rushing around
the sleet-covered country looking for
mountains to jump off on pair of
diversified toothpicks.
| If they don't break their necks on
skis they turn to figure skating. In
the old days the ability to stand on
ice skates two minutes was consider
ed pretty good stuff. But now anyone
who can't write his full name and ad-
dress with his feet on a sheet of ice
is sissy.
No, sir, I don't like il and l would
write a much longer letter in protest
of this foolishness, only haven't time
You see, three pals have just dropped
in and want me to make fourth on
bob sled dash down Break Neck
mountain. Boy, won't we have fun.
| Sincerely, YAWN YAWNSON.
