u. S. District Attorney Carlyle
Higgins, Of the middle North Caro-
lima district, acted very much like
4 candidate. He has been reported
likely to run against Attorney Cen

More than a little pressure is
said to have been applied to him
by party elements favoring Sena-

to get him out against Mcmillan;
thnrah the inside motive of such
efforts was not completely appar-

the bad weather that slowed down
the listing the latter part OF jan

At the court house Miss Dorothea

for the county was about ~ per-
cent finished. She thought one more
week, and especially next Saturday,
would practically complete listing

Of which SO far has turned IN the
books for the finished task.
Listing this year was done in the
month of January, and ms OF the
first day Of January, in contrast to
the hitherto April listing period OF
the first day Of that month. In spite
of the unfavorable weather much
of the time, property owners and IN
dividualS with only thei: polls 10
list, responded in a manner con-
Sidered very satisfactory.
There will be no change in the
time for fixing the tax rate and the
start of collecting, No fluctuations
have been made as yet to indicate
precisely what the valuation for the
year will be, for either the city or
the county.
Earlier listing, however. will al
