DR.. Ed. Jones, committee chair
nan, appointed Gale Mcmillan
and Lem Hafer as co-chairmen

clinic here on April 10, members
of the Ashe unit of the State

promoted the sale last year,
agreed to turn the activity over
to the Rotary club.
Miss Weaver estimates that
there are 100 crippled children
in Ashe county and that a large
percentage of them are needy

money it can get to help these
unfortunate children get back on
their feet" DR.. Jones stated, "and
I hope every one will cooperate

the county will be solicited.
Miss Weaver pointed out that
if the club could raise 5000 or
$500, it could secure the services
of surgeon to hold clinic in
the county every month for the
next IL months.

Truck Load OF
Eggs Overturned

The American breakfast of
scrambled eggs, barely missed an
early preparation for many citi-
zens of Baltimore Tues
day night when a truck
loaded with 10000 dozen
driven by Carl Ham enroute to
this northern city, turned over
against the bank on Wayman
hill, between Jefferson and West
Jefferson.
The driver of the truck who
was travelling at a low rate of
speed said that he took his eyes
off of the road for a second to
glance at the Speedometer, and
before he realized the truck had
reached the ditch and was leaning
against the bank.
WreckerS were sent for but
were unable to move the truck
until much of it's cargo had been
unloaded. w. G. Vannoy of the
Vannoy Produce Co., shippers
of the eggs, said that luckily We
ry few were broken. He estimat-
ed the loss at less than three
cases, or 1880 eggs which was
much less than one percent of
the load. Mr.. Vannoy said the
breakage would possibly have
been much less had it not been
necessary to unload and reload
the eggs,

James Osborne Plans To Sc
cure Deed for 70 Acres of
Unclaimed Land.

Ashe county many tines refer
red to as "The Lost Province is
no longer lost. but strange as it
may seem it does contain some
lost lands; for this week James
Osborne, of Peak Creek town.
ship, filed an entry claim with
the Register of Deeds for %
acres of unclaimed land in his
township.
In talking about the Mr..
Osborne said that it contained
some valuable timber and was
very good soil. He said that his
father, Dave Osborne filed entry
claim for this same tract of land
80 years ago in his mothers
name, but let the time lapse be-
fore securing the deed. His broth
er later filed an entry claim but
never followed it up by securing
a deed.
After filing an entry claim, an
individual has a year in which
to secure a deed to the property,
Mr.. Osborne said. He stated that
parties who had no claim on the
property were cutting timber off
of it.
Occasionally a small piece of
land is found unclaimed but it
is quite unusual that a 22-acre
tract be discovered unclaimed.

Ashe County Commissioners
Register Of Deeds, Surveyor
To Serve Four Year Terms
Representative Ira JOhnstOn'S
BIZ Passed During Last Week
Purpose Explained.

During the past week the leg
jslature passed Representative
Ira 7. Johnstons bill to extend
The terms of office of the Ashe
county board Of commissioners,
register of deeds and surveyor to
the first Monday in December,
1912 and to provide for four-year
terms for all three OF these Of

election.
The bill was introduced and
voted upon favorably in the
house and last Friday it passed
the senate without any opposi-
ton. No announcement, however,
was made here prior to its intro
ductiOn.
'Since nearly all counties have
extended time to four years for
most of officers to conform to
state policy and to conform to
constitutional amendment as to
sheriff and coroner, our bill ex-
tends register of deeds, surveyor
and county commissioners to
four years, to be elected at the
same time as the sheriff, coro-
ner and clerk of court" Mr.. John
ston wired The Post last night.
In discussing the bill while he
was at home last week end, Sen
ator w. B. Austin explained that
it was now a policy in counties
throughout the state to extend
terms Of office for these three sets
of county officials to four-year
terms, which is in accordance
with the constitutional amend
ment passed the last general
election to apply to the offices of
sheriff and coroner.
I'm other words, this will make
it possible to hold elections for
all county offices at the same
time" Senator Austin stated.
"I'm in hopes we can get
through and adjourn within the
next two or three weeks time
anyway" he said.

What The State
Legislature Is
Doing This Week
By Staff Correspondent

appeared clearer for an early ad-
Journment this week when a
deadline on March q was fixed
for the introduction of new bills.
The record-setting approprla-
tons bill of $155,O00,000 moved
along speedily as it was approx
ed by the senate and sent back
to the house for concurrence in
minor amendments.
In this monster amount OF mo-
ney, the three-way split is $84,-
281,2O7 for general fund, $780,
700 agricultural fund and $685.
750,614 road fund.
Estimates on the revenue also
indicate that the budget is prac-
tically balanced even with the
$4,000 boost in appropriations
above the house recommended
tons which was put into the bill
Tuesday.
The original bill, drafted by
the advisory budget commission,
called for state spending Of 1884,
514,899 during the coming bien-
MUM. The joint appropriations
committee cut this figure to
$154, 36l,292.
On the floor of the house, the
spending program was boosted
to approximately $155, 100000
The representatives approved in
creases totaling 100000, which
were provided in compromise
sponsored by Governor Hoey, as
well as certain other minor
boosts
Sent to the senate last week,
the bill promptly was referred
to the senate appropriations COM
nlittee for consideration Of house
increases.
Members Of the senate commit
tee at first refused to accept
the house boosts, asserting that
the budget for 1894 was moro
than 100000 out of balance.
But Revenue Commissioner A,
J. Maxwell shed a different light
on the situation when he an
nomced a new set of tax eSti-
mates -%yhich changed the budget
set-up. He explained that income
tax collections were running well
above the estimates and that es-
Inmates on income tax collections
during 1894 could be boosted
more than $800,000; and the re-
sult-a balanced budget.
A bill to ban absentee voting in
primaries and tighten restrictions
in general elections-the key
stone proposal of a far-reaching
election reform" program pend
ing in the legislature-was pass
ed unanimously by the senate
Tuesday.
The absentee bill will be or
dered ratified into law as soon
dS VIC 1AOOSS CO3bSOAS III AA0AOA
senate amendments.
Without opposition, the senate
passed and sent to the house a
bill requiring applicants for mar
rage licenses to pass physical ex-
aminations. Monday night, the
senators passed a measure to re-
quire blood tests of expectant
mothers, both health proposals
were introduced by Senator Long
of Halifax. a physician.
Tuesday the school machinery
act upon which Senator Austin
and Representative Johnston,
both of Ashe together with 9TH
ers have been laboring so long,
went into the house. AS drawn
by the subcommittee and approx
ed by the full education COM
mittees, the bill leaves the door
open for local units to supple
ment state school funds to pro-
vide the 18th grade and teacher
retirement plans. It does not
make any provision for these two
proposals on a statewide basis.
