GAY CITY OF SOUTH GIVEN
 ITS WRITEUP
New Orleans, as Columnist Sees It, Is Great Con-
 glomerate Mass
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 25.-This tis New Orleans, city of a thousand passing gallantries, city that has existed under ten flags, rich in rosaries and rum.
 This is Bienville's New Orleans, known then as La Nouvelle Orleans, named so in honor of the Regent of France, who was Philippe, Due d'Orleans.
 This is Don Antonio de Ulloa s New Orleans. and Pierre Laussat's, and Napoleon's. It is Jean LaFitte's New Orleans, and Andrew Jack sons, and Beaureguard's It is Ju- dah P Benjamin's, too.
 Fabulous New Orleans" Lyle Saxon has called it, and it is that It is all of that. Fabulous city of pirates and nuns, of witchcraft and voodoo, of Frenchman. Spaniard, c German, African, and Choctaw. Dancing masters from Versailles and grandees from Madrid. City of churches and dwelling masters, of crayfish and magnolia. City of freeman and slave, of black-robed priests and the Inquisition, of car petbaggers, Cajuns and cooking.

Hitting when bingles meant runs,
the Lions took the fourth game OF
the city softball series to from the
Bankers yesterday at League PARK

ship.
Hubert Lewis and Jacoby Williams
hooked up in mound duel, with each
being hard hit, but given plenty sup
port. The Lions got six safetles,
while the Bankers were mastering

Hoey Urges Leasing
A. & N. c. Railroad
To Some Other Line

Continued from Page One.)
the leasing program is likely in the
not too distant future, as the COVER
nor, through the attorney general,
advised against election of officers
at this time, indicating that there
would be no need for installing a new
official set-up.
H. P. Crowefl, who has been in ac-
tive charge of management of the
Mullet Line, has been opposed in
many quarters, but will almost GER
tainly continue in charge until some
thing definite is accomplished.
Prior to today's meeting there were
many reports that the directors, at
the Governors suggestion, would con-
slider the possibility of selling the
road; but nothing was done, in the
open at least, along that line.
There is not the slightest doubt
that Governor Hoey and all the di-
rectors would jump at the chance to
sell ,and thus permanently rid them
selves of a perennial headache; but
at present there is no legal authority
for them to do so, and as far as can
be learned there is no prospective
purchaser in sight.
Some months ago the governor was
approached by certain North Carolina
interests who wanted to find out what
could be done in the matter of buying
the Mullet Line, but when the matter
was referred to the attorney general
then Supreme Court Justice A. A. F..
Seawell- - was learned that ther.
would have to be legislative authori-
zation before any sale is possible.
With that, the interests lost all in
terest, as they were planning either
to buy the road then or do something
else. When they found they could not
buy Immediately, but would be forced
to wait until another session of the
legislature, at the earliest, they drop
ped out of the picture

Miller Cuts
Grid Squad
To 40 Men

Coach Bing Miller has already let
the axe fall on the Henderson high
school football squad, pairing some ten
to fifteen boys from the squad, leav-
ing about 40 in camp at present, with
future cuttings to be made.
Miller is giving the boys exercises
will stand them in good stead with
tough work just ahead.
The mentor commented on the fact
that some of his reserves for the past
two years have failed to show first
string calibre, and unless they dis
play something very early in the sea-
son, they will be dropped from the
squad. He feels two years is long
enough to work with lazy reserve,
needing that time for work with new
men eager for a chance to play.
Uniforms will likely be given soma
of the men this afternoon or tomor-
row, with rough work beginning in
earnest next week.
The coach plans to use all new
plays this year, using short punt and
single wing back formations. He is
scouting around among his players
for capable quarter and fullback.

2. In 1856 Gold Hill, Rowan county
was a thriving mining town. Reports
show that 5000 laborers alone were
employed in operations there. The
place was established in 1912. In 1880
Gold Hill had a population of 156. An
effort is being made now to open
some of the Gold Hill mines again.
8. The Vestry act of 17O1 provided
for a poll tax to be levied On all the

Should this fail them the poll tax was
to be collected.

Cotton Gins
Repair Scales
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Sept. S.-Reports of North
Carolina Department of Agriculture
weight experts indicate that only
about one-fifth of cotton gin scales
are now inaccurate, compared with
the nearly 80 per cent inaccurate
heavy duty scales found in prelim-
mary check made in 80 counties last
year.
The inspectors have been on the
road for three weeks now in a state
wide testing tour, which is expected
to last almost two years.
GAS general cleanup and repair pro-
gram has been adopted by gin scale
operators" said Fred F. Johnson, the
departments gin inspector, with the
result that the percentage of mac
curacies found on this tour has drop
ped to 20 per cent"
When the U. S. Bureau of Stand
ards loaned the weight and measures
division government-owned testing
equipment last year, a check of heavy
duty scales in 80 counties resulted in
finding some 81 per cent to be mac
curate.
"Ginners, as a class, have cleaned
up their scales, made repairs and in
many cases have installed new scales
within the past year" Mr.. Johnson
said. 'They were looking forward to
receiving State certificates of &C.
curacy. .
"Ginners and other scale owners
realize that the scales testing is be-
ing made AS much for their benefit
as in behalf of the consumer"
The inspectors carry with them
some 1000 pounds of weights to
check scales. They plan to test all
ginners' scales and all other heavy
duty scales throughout the State.
This task, the department estimates
will require practically two years to
complete.

been long time since the Supreme

One was the appeal of w. c

from fine of SIS imposed for viola
ton of a city ordinance making it
unlawful for any person to keep q
store or place of business open after
a. m. on Sunday. He sold soft drinks
and other merchandise in addition to
gasoline and oil. Appellant argues he
should come under an ordinance clos :
ing filling stations from 10 a. m. tc

Number Two was the appeal of the
State, on behalf of the State Board OF
Examiners of Plumbing and Heating
Examiners, from the acquittal Con

Asheville. The question is whether oi
nor Ingle must or must not have
license from the State board. 1t seem
that he performed labor necessary for
the proper installation of piumDin,
fixtures and received a lump sun
price for his work, which the State
insists constituted him a plumbing
contractor rather than a journeyman

One of the livest subjects of debate
in North Carolina is whether the 1889
General Assembly will do anything
about reform of the existing election
laws.
Your correspondent will lay one
small wager, to-wit: If the Repub-
licans should capture the eighth dis
trict seat over which w. o. Burgin
and c. B. Deane have done so much
Squabbling, the legislature will do
something. What it will do is some
thing else again.
In the final analysis, it's going to
be distinctly up to the governor. If
he fights for election reform, the
State will get it; if he doesn't no
drastic action need be expected.
