SUNDAYS YESTERDAYS


April II, 1783-Cessation of the
war with Great Britain was proclaim
ed formally by the Congress of the
liberated colonies. Actually, no treaty
had been signed; the announcement
was made to placate Washington's
army, then on the verge of revolt!
Peace did not actually come until five
months later.
April II, 1790-George Rockingham
Gilmer was born in Oglethorpe Co.,
Ca, 80 years before he became COVER
nor of that State and wrote his name
imperishably into history by his de-
fiance of the u. S. Supreme Court.
A Cherokee, Corn Tassel, killed an
other Amerindian. His trial was held
in court of white men in disregard
of a treaty George Washington nego-
tiated with the Cherokees. Corn Tas-
sci appealed to the Supreme Court
The justices ordered Georgia to de-
sist. Gold had been discovered on
Cherokee lands and Gov. Gilmer did
not intend to respect scraps of paper
that would interfere with white dom
ination of Cherokees. He refused to
obey the court. In direct defiance of
the Court, Corn Tassel was hanged.
Not daunted, the Court upheld Anne
rindian treaties and laws in another
case. President Jackson, who had no
love for the court, then said: John
Marshall made the decision, now let
him enforce it," It wasn't.
April II, 1794-Edward Everett was
born in Dorchester, Mass, a prodigy
of intellect and oratory. He was only
10 when he became minister of Bos-
tons foremost church, and he was the
U. S. clergyman, next to Garfield
(who was a Disciples of Christ minis
ter when he was elected President)
who climbed to the greatest political
heights. He became president of Har-
ward, a member of U. S. House of
r Representatives, Governor of Massa-
chusetts for four terms, minister to
Great Britain, u S. Secretary of State
U. S. senator, candidate for President
An indignant Bostonian rushed to
him for advice when the Bostonian be-
came the subject of vicious political
attack which one newspaper reported
in full. Should he demand a traction

HIGHS WIN OVER

Yesterday at the League Park the
Bulldogs trimmed Zeb Vance in
seven inning game. The final score
for the High School baseball team was
10 while their defeated opponents
score was Z.
Well not much to say except that
the boys couldn't lose with the coope-
ration that they got from the stu

would look up in the grand stand and
see the mob of enthusiastic fans sit

wasn't anything for them to do but
win.
The game was everything but a
pushover for the score proves that
land figures don't lie). There was
some nice playing on the part of al,
the players but as in everything there
was some outstanding plays and play

the members of the Local Government
Commission"
For the past two years the Local
Government Commission has spent
more of it's time assisting subdivisions
in refinancing their obligations than
in anything else, and with remarkable
success. Mr.. johnson pointed out. He
also outlined the legislation which had
been enacted to help the commission
work out refunding plans. One of
these newer acts gives the director of
Local government authority to ap-
prove or disapprove the budget of any
unit which has put through financ-
ing operation, also gives him author
itv to require the proper ALLEGATION Of
revenue to insure bondholders that
the bonds and coupons will be paid
when due. Johnson pointed out that
the enactment of this legislation was
necessary before any large scale re-
financing could be undertaken, since
bondholders would not agree to ac-
cept refunding bonds at lower rates
IF interest unless assured that these
bonds would be paid.
No state in the United States has
done as much to meet the changed
conditions brought about by the pre-
preston and to aid the local govern
ments meet their financial problems,
as has North Carolina, johnson point
ed out. For not only did it reduce It's
operating expenses more IMAM any
other State between 1881 and 1897, but
it also reduced it's indebtedness by
more than $5O00O000 within this pc
Rod. In fact, the State paid off more
than $25O0O,OOO of Indebtedness pc
tween January ]. 1888, and December
81, 1896, and during this entire period
did not have to borrow one cent on
short term notes for operating EXP
penses. met all obligations when due
and will complete this fiscal year with
a surplus of at least $4,5OOOOO, the
State Treasurer said. Some estimates
are that the surplus will amount to
100000 or more.
During this same period, the State
helped to tighten the tax load OF the
counties, cities and towns by taxing
over the cost of maintaining the eight
months public school term without
levying any ad valorem taxes, and
also took over the maintenance and
construction of all the roads in the
State, including $4,000 miles of coun-
ty roads Johnson said. This is some
thing which had not even been
thought of, much less undertaken, by
any other state. All the other states
require all the local units to raise all
of the revenue to maintain county
roads and all or large part of the
money to maintain the schools. So,
looking back 20 1881, one is. impress
