PAGE SIX SCHOOLS PROBABLY NIL OPEN SEPT. 8 Date Tentatively Set For Beginning of Term In City and County Schools of Henderson and Vance county will open probably on Thurs day. September 8, for the new term, it was said today bv E. M. Rollins, i city-county superintendent. The date ! ia as yet tentative, but will stand un- ; leas there is reason to change. The beginning of the term is ex pected to be on the same plan as for several years past, in that chll- \ dren will report on Thursday for en- , rollment and distribution of book ! lists Then on Friday they will re turn with their books for the assign- . Bent of lessons, with actual class 1 room work beginning on the fellow- j ing Monday. The opening date applies to the white schools in the city and the county and the coloied o»ty schools. ' The colored schools in the county will start their term a trifle later. During the summer such repairs to buildings and property as was ab solutely necessary have been made, so , far as funds were available, but the pinch of economy has been felt here aa elsewhere and no work has been done that was not essential for the protection and preservation of the pro perty. With budget matters about out of the way, much of the time from now on will be given to final preparations ! for the start of the new term. Plans ' now are for the operation of the schools on an eight months basis, as < was done last year.

EHRINGHAUS NEEDS LEKISLATURE THAT WILL BACK HIM UP (Continued from Page One.) all the counties in the second, third, fourth and quite a few of the first districts. To have representatives in that great bloc friendly to the exe cutive, is of primary importance. The chief concern es the campaign is to get a good legislature. There are many very close counties. An unwise campaign will lose them. Most governors have the luck to get their own legislatures, but Gover nor Cameron Morrison was the bene ficiary of a queer turn in politics. The Morrison legislature was com posed of Gardner partisans. Until the last 60 days of the 1920 fight nobody conceded M. Morrison even an out side chance. The primaries through the counties nominated Gardner men. But in mid-war the Gardner people espoused woman suffrage and that turned tremendously strong Gardner counties over to Morrison. When the nominations were made, the State had a governor of one mind and a legis lature of another. Gardner supporters could have wrecked the Morrison hopes, but in stead elected to join in the program of progress. The result was a General Assembly which Mr. Morrison regard ed the best that ever sat. The 1920 campaign after the primaries had given a grand boost to Mr. Morrison and he had not a bit of trouble in leading that group. Mr. Ehringhaus may face an un friendly legislature. He lost such counties as Beaufort, Martin, Pitt, Hyde, Bertie, Halifax. Warren, Frank lin, Harnett, Johnson, Wilson, Lenior, Jones. Duplin. Pender, Hoke. Bladen. Onslow, Lee, Moore, Montgomery, Union, Anson, and Scotland when he should hav swept them. It will take a good chairman conducting a fine campaign to harmonize ithe leader and the led. The great interest in a State chairman grows out of his ability to do that. There is no hostility to next Senator R. It. Reynolds. But the candidate for governor, when elected. must work four years with representatives from the counties. It is necessary to carry the counties, much more essen tial than that a big majority over the state be rolled up. A governor and a legislature at loggerheads before they begin would mean party wreck. Candidates Reynolds and Ehring haus will be here this week. For the reason trat a governor must .wcik with ciunty representatives and that a State chairman must work first to get a big majority in the General As sembly it Is not believed that Mr. Reynolds is going to offer any sort of objection to the Ehringhaus selec tion for chairman.

M. Hester. Mr. Hester has been designated as tem porary commander of the local unit until the meeting is held, when a per manant organization is to be effected, he said. At the meeting on Saturday night a commander, an adjutant and a quarttermaster are to be selected, to gether with such other business as may come before the gathering. A state organizer from Greensboro is to come here Friday night to su pervise the organization of the as sociation. All veterans of any over seas war service for the American government are eligible for member ship in the chapter, and all such are invited to attend. Mr. Hester said that already a num ber of members had been signed, and he expects a rpuch larger number to enroll as charter members at the meeting at the court house Friday night. He said the State organizer advised him that there are at this time only three counties in North Carolina without local units of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and they are Vance, Granville and Warrei: counties. An effort is being made now to have them join the ranks. Each will be organized separately. If pos- sible. .

State EntWtootogist Gives Warning That Much Harm May Be Caused By Weevil Raleigh, Aug. 3.—( AP)—A warning that considerable damage may be done to cotton by the boll weevil during the present rahiy and cloudy weather was sounded today by C. H. Brannon, extension entomologist at N. C. State College. Brannon pointed out the recent dry, hot weather did much to check the weevil but did not eradicate it. "The bool weevil is very sensitive to weather conditions,” he said,.

"The insect depends largely on cloudy, damp weather for fast pro pagation and serious damage. Such damage can increase at an enormous rate between now and forest should conditions be favorable. If the infes tation demands it, dusting should be done for protection not only to late forming squares but aiso to half grown bolls.” Brannon has been in the field al most constantly during the past few days aiding growers and county agents with their insect control pro blem and said he found that the hot weather of July exercises a high de gree of weevil control. c Ton. y c " r ~J -OttivtL ow ,7
