+. ,. R. For Appropriation
OF Four Million For Parkway
Continued Construction of Great
Highway is Now Virtually
Assured.

Continued construction on the
Parkway during the ensuing year
was virtually assured by the Presi-
dents budget recommendation that
congress appropriate 100000 to
the Parkway and Natchez Trace
highway.
The budget recommendation ear
marked $1,500,000 for the Blue
Ridge Parkway. Completion of the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park was also practically assured
when money was recommended to
be set aside for the final purchase
of the lands in Tennessee.
After a bitter fight last year con-
gress appropriated $6,O0O,0OG for
two parkways, of which $15,O0O,-
600, went to the Natchez Trace
There was some feeling among
North Carolina and Virginia con-
gressmen today that the cutting of
the Blue Ridge Parkway appro-
priation 100000 and making no
reduction in the Natchez Trace
fund was inequitablez but in view
of the difficulties experienced last
year in seeking to maintain the
budget recommendation no one felt
inclined to urge that another fight
be made for more money.
The house appropriations COM
mittee will soon begin considera-
ton of the interior department
supply bill and until the measure
is reported the amount to be in
cluded for the parkways will not
be known. Since the budget esti-
mate itself is 100000 below the
appropriation for this fiscal year
it is not believed that the commit
tee will make further reduction.
Some effort may be made, how
ever, to apportion the 100000
between the parkwavs on the same
basis as was the 100000 appro-
priation for this fiscal year.
The budget carried an estimate
of $4,000 for administration and
maintenance of the Great Smoky
Mountains Park during the next
fiscal year as compared with $780,
500 in the last appropriation bill.
Both Senator Reynolds and Sen
ator McKeller were bubbling over
with enthusiasm as they left the
White House today with definite
approval by the President for the
necessary appropriation to COM
plete the park.

FARMING

Editors note: The following
poem was written by Cad Wyatt,
12-year-old Wagner boy who goes
to the Low Gap School.)
This is the work I like to do,
/ think you will like it too.
My job is farming,
Out where the birds and bees
Are swarming.
With me, the boss, we go,
To hoe our corn row by row.
When bad weather I can rest,
That is what I like the best.
This is what I am after,
While I am free, / have master.
/ plow my fields; I sow my grain,
And then watch for the rain.

Making Plans Now
To Pay Unemployed
First Checks To Be Paid Out
January %. $4,000 Filed
First Week.

Raleigh, Jan. u.-Extensive prep
arations are now in progress in the
Unemployment Compensation Di-
vision of the N. c. Unemployment
Compensation Commission for pay

unemployed workers meeting the
requirements of the law when they

A claim division has been set up
to check on the records of all work.
ers whose claims are received to
find if they have the proper work
record. More than $4,000 of these
claims were received during the
first week, but many of the work
ers will return to work before the
two weeks waiting period is COM
pleted, and, in such cases, no pay
ment will be made. If the eligible
workers remain unemployed for
the third full week, then they are
2 due benefits for that week, and the
checks for that week are to be sent
out by January % or soon there
after.
One distressing condition exists
that of workers who are unemploy-
ed and whose employers have made
no quarterly reports, or incomplete
quarterly reports on their earnings.
In such cases, payments cannot be
made to workers, as due, for the
Commission has no record of work
on which to base payments until
the Commission has obtained this
data from employers.
Field deputies have been instruct
ed to proceed with prosecutions OF
employers who have not made their
quarterly reports for the first three
quarters of 1887, on the ground that
they are obstructing the payments
by failure to report on their en-
ployees. The maximum fine for
such failure under the State law
is 5000, or Imprisonment for not
longer than so days, or both, ano
each day of such failure constitute:
separate offense.
eve have been as lenient as pos
sible on delinquent employers, bu
longer delay of these reports pre-
vents the payment of benefits due
their employees who become I'M
employed and throws the machin-
cry of the office out of order. The
workers who need and are due
these payments are deprived of this
Just dues. The law requires us te
get the reports and we have no al
tentative, other than to prosecute
delinquent employers, said Chair
man Charles G. Powell.

STACY WRITES MOST
COURTS DECISIONS
Chief Justice Shown To Be Busiest
Man on High Bench in
Compiled Reports
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, July 8-Chief Justice Walt
er p. Stacy is the busiest member OF
the North Carolina Supreme Court
when it comes to writing opinions
of the States highest tribunal-at
least he wrote more during the Fail
and Spring terms than any one else
except that fellow per Curtain" who
corresponds to anonymous" in lay
literature.
The court decided 473 cases in all,
ITO of them Fer Curiam,' a method
of disposing of the more open and
shut causes without assigning par
ticular Justice to the task of citing the
law and the logic of the matter.
Of the 1868 decisions written by the
individual justices the chief justice
wrote 81, four more than the next
prolific member of the bench, Justice
w. A. Devin, who had 81 to his
credit.
The opinion count of other justices
were:
M. v. Barnhill Sc, Michael Schenck
81, Wallace Winborne 40, Heriot Clark
son At, George w. Conner deceased
81 and A. A. F. Seawell (only quite
recently appointed) 8.
In connection with the number of
opinion written, however, it should
be remembered that they are not all
equal or even approximately equal in
difficulty and in the amount of study
required to arrive at them-and there
fore form no true basis of any JUS
tees ability or application to his
duties.
OF the 473 cases decided, 397 were
civil and rs criminal. In 324 of them
the decisions of the lower courts were
affirmed, giving the judges of the
inferior courts a rating of 68 IL per
cent correct. Reversals were proper
tionately much higher in civil than
in criminal cases, the percentages
being approximately 80 and 81, re-
spectively.

College Station. Raleigh. July s.
Around 1900 North Carolina rura'
boys and girls "are getting an educa-
tional vacation this summer" ut five
All club camps in the State and one
in Virginia, said L. r. Harrill a-H

part in club affairs during the pre-
ceding year are given n week at camp
both as a reward and as an inspira-
ton to do better work in the future.
The camps are kept busy most of
the summer as various counties send
delegates for a weeks stay. Some OF
the camps can accommodate delegates
from several counties at the same
time Athletic coaches from State Col
lege have been placed in charge of
three camps, and the others are under
the direction of competent leaders.
At camp the young folks have a
good time living out doors, playing
open air games, swimming, going on
tours to places of interest and study
ing various subjects in farming, home
making, wild-life, and more graceful
living commented Miss Frances
MacGregor, assistant 4-H club leader.
The camps are located at Swan
nanoa, White Lake, Indian Springs
near Hoffman, Johns River in CalG
we'll county, Camp Leah in Beaufort
county, and jamestown, Virginia. The
Jamestown All camp is Virginia
Camp, but nearby North Carolina
counties have been granted the pri-
vilege of using it.
The first camp opened in May and
the last will close about September 1.
Club members from most of the or
ganized counties of the State have or
will attend camp during the summer.

for oil producers. There has been vir-
tually no drilling in either Cut Bank,
Kevin-Sunburst or Pondera oil fields dur
ing the present year. If present refinery
demands are to be met, some additional
wells must be drilled to offset the ma
tural decline of every oil well in each
field.
When active development comes, new
oil farms will be developed Additional
wells viii be drilled on older producing
farms Each time a producer is COM
pleted, the Income Of the royalty owners
on that farm is Increased. Royadty own
ers will have the greatest income in the
history OF the Montana oil industry,
during the year 1889, by virtue of the
fact that the 1889 crude market will be
the largest in the history of the industry.
1t is apparent that the class of inves-
tors who never operate except on a boom
ing market are going to be scrambling
for royalties when drilling starts. The
greater the number of buyers, the fewer
the opportunities for larger profits is
rule Of the BUYER With the SELLER,
the greatest opportunities accompany the
arrival OF a greater number OF buyers
In order to capitalize this situation it
is Necessary for the royalty investor to
forsee the market demand of the future
and to put himself in position to enjoy
the profits of increased sales and new
drilling by buying his royalties BEFORE
THE INCREASED MARKET ARRIVES.
AS shown by the actual sales of May
compared with June, it is apparent that
the new markets have not yet begun
to make themselves felt. Storage oil
will take care of any increased demands
of 1898 That means that there
will he little change in the opportunities
afforded for royalty investment during
the next few months.
We might add that the opportunities
are not confined to royalty investments
We believe that there Is lot of money
to be made in leases and in the pur-
ichases Of stock of certain companies
which are certain to profit by selling
all the oil they can produce But we
believe that the greatest opportunity lays
in the lap of the informed royalty In
vegtur we say INFORMED royalty IN
veseor because that is the stock in
trade Of thiss organization In the past
we have been very successful becauseswe
knew where development was going to
occur. We bought on the basis OF
wildcat values royalties on which we
knew wells were to be drilled. These

It appears that a Wyoming

tough shedding under the new deal
and while making a call on a store
at Douglas was told by the propri-
etor that under no circumstances
did he want any groceries as he
was finding 1t altogether impossible
to sell anything. Just as the
storekeeper finished turning down
the salesman a man came into the
store through the back and proceed
ed wind up as a regular pitcher
would and throw the ball, follow
ing this the man would stick out
his hand as though catching the
ball and kept on repeating this.
The salesman asked the merchant
what was the matter with the fell

er that the fellow had formerly been
a pitcher for one Of the major ball
