Opened; Warden
Issues Warning
any Streams Are Well
Stocked; Fishermen Must
Buy Licenses

The bass season in Ashe coun-
ty opens today and many OF
the streams are we'll stocked
Harve Goodman, game warden,
says he expects this to be a rec
ord season for many fishermen.
Game Warden Goodman urges
everyone to secure a license be-
fore attempting to fish. He
pointed out that within the past
few weeks. several had been
caught, tried and fined for fish
ing without a license. "This can
be both expensive and unpleas-
ant" he said.
Mr.. Goodman said he wished to
remind everyone desiring to fish
that licenses were available at
hardware stores in w. Jefferson,
at the office of the register of
deeds, in jefferson, and at vari-
GUS other places and stores
throughout the county.
The opening of the bass season
not only attracts local fishermen,
but those from a distance, and
this year is expected to be good.

Mining Property Bought By Lassiter For $4,000
Farm
From T. X. Miller
Joining Ore Knob
Joins Ore Knob Property
Bought By Lassister Ear
ly This Year

The 7OO-acre farm belonging to
Tom Miller in the Ore
Knob section of Laurel Springs,
was purchased this week by r.
G. Lassiter for the sum Of $34,-
10000, according to reliable infor-
nation revealed here, today.
This property joins the Ore
Knob copper mining property,
which was purchased by Lassiter
early this year for $36,000.00.
This tract included 1000 acres.
While surveys have been made
of the mine this year, no date has
been announced for starting ac-
tive operation of it. It is believ-
ed, however, that since this addi-
tional property has been purchas-
ed by Mr.. Lassiter, that he ex-
poets to operate the mine.
The Ore Knob mine, operated
from time to time, has been idle
since World War I except for the
machinery used by the highway
department for crushing surface
ore for the highway.
The mine saw it's greatest period
of activity Immediately after the
Civil war. From 1880 to 1888
when there were around 1000
men employed. But the mine
was closed and then reopened
again in 1907. 1t was also opera
ted on a small scale during the
past World War.

A large number of West Jeff

selves a being very favorable to-
ward the establishment of voca-

the high schools of the county this
week when interviewed by a Post
reporter.
From the way I see it, I can
not emphasize the Importance of
vocational agriculture strongly
enough, T. E. Parker said. "The
whole purpose of education is to
better equip youth for service
and certainly we need to train
and encourage our boys to stay
on our farms, he added.
John Rhodes pointed out that
he had long been interested in
education from a practical stand
point and that he felt that voca-
tional agriculture was not only
practical but els badly needed in
ASne county.
Sharpe S. Shoemaker, said that
he knew such training would be
profitable to the county and that
he hoped vocational agriculture
could be started now. eve need
more good farmers to help win
the war;, he said.
Il am heartily in favor of vo-

establishment of such depart
ments would mean much to the
youth and to this county," Dwight
McGrady, said.
A number of other individuals
have expressed themselves as be-
ing strongly in favor of such
training in the Ashe schools.

need and Importance of vocation
al agricultural departments in the
high schools of the county.
The commissioners expressed
themselves as being in favor of
such departments if the county's
part could be financed without
increasing the tax levy.
It is believed that this can be
done since the county has an in
creased valuation of around $17O,-
600 which would give an increas-
ed income of $4,000.
Arrangements will have to be
made by the board of education
