RALEIGH
BRIEFS
Star-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
BY HENRY AVERILL

RALEIGH, Nov. 23.-Death OF
Chatham county's register of deeds
who was elected in November to
serve another four year term be-
ginning in January, posed a rather
nice question for Attorney General
Harry Mcmillan who was called
on for an opinion on the question
of appointment of a successor.
1t was elementary law that the
Board of County Commissioners
could proceed at once to appoint
a successor to serve until expira-
ton of the present term; but
whether it could now name a new
man not only for the couple of
months but for the ensuing four
year period was something of a
puzzle.
Reading of Corpus Juris, some
thing of a lawyers Bible" and
of the North Carolina case, Wor-
ley against Smith decided in 1879
resulted in a ruling that the pres
ent board can appoint until jan
uary, but that no vacancy in the
new term will exist until expira-
ton of the old one, when a new
board of county commissioners (if
there were any changes made at
the November election) will be in
office.
TIL 1941 General Assembly will
give first opportunity to test one
of the theories upon which a con-
tinuing, sometimes enormously
called permanent" Revenue Act
vas adopted in 1889.
1t was then commended that such
a measure would cut the length
of the usual legislative session to
six or seven weeks except where
there happens to be some very
controversial issue over w h i c h
much time is wasted.
It ought to work out that way,
because there will be no need for
section by section consideration in
committee. Only where changes
r proposed will there be any ex-
cuse for delay.

'C0LLARD MOVIE
ATTRACTS CROWD

The lowly collard made a arg
number of people happy here yes
terday.
One head of collards was admls'
sion to a special program yesterday
morning at the Bijou theatre for
the benefit of the Wilmington chap
ter of the American Red Cross.
A capacity audience witnessed
three entertaining pictures, Jane
withers in "Chicken Wagon Fam
i1v" and two comedies, "Old Glory"
and "The Natural Thing to Do"
People of all ages, children being
in the majority, from Wilmington
and vicinity came to the city WITH
heads of collards-amounting to five
city truck loads-the largest in the
history of the event, according l.
Carl Render, sponsor and director
of the city garden program.
A number of those in attendance,
both young and old, saw a motion
picture for the first time in their
lives, Render said.
After the show, the collards were
sold on the streets by attractive
Young women, members Of the Jun
ior Sorosis, under the direction OF
Mrs. Carl Powers, starting at 3
o'clock in the morning.
Mrs. Powers last night reported
the young ladies had sold $50 worth
or three city truck loads of collards
and the funds will be turned over
for the use of the local Red Cross
chapter.
The other two truck loads that
were left after all-day street sales
were contributed to the local post
of the Salvation Army, the Gather
inc Kennedy home, and the Asso-
ciated Charities.
The special show was made pos
sible through the courtesy Of j. M.
Autry, manager of the Bijou the
atre, who had expressed the desire
to afford an opportunity for a large
number of persons who would like
to see a good show.
All of those attending the show,
| using a collard as a ticket, had a
part in helping the local Red Cross
chapter which at the present time
is in need of funds with which to
carry on it's activities in the com
munity during the ensuing year.

Instead of being applied over a
