be harmful, but therein lurks a
danger to the fortune.

What Do You
Know About
North Carolina?
By FRED H. MAY
1. How much did North Carolina s
population in towns and cities in
crease between 1920?
2. When was the name “Tar-Heels’
first used for North Cai’olinians ?
3. Who was the Durham county na
tive to whom South Carolina gave
eleven electoral votes for President?
4. Why did the assembly of 1673
rescind the act fixing the price of
whisky?
5. What was the vote for Hoover
and Smith in 1928?
6. When did a governor view the
increase of Quakers and Baptists
with alarm?
ANSWERS.
1. The 1920 census showed an ur
ban population of 490,370 while the
last census showed 809,847 Urban
population includes persons living in
incorporated towns of 2,500 or more.
2. According to the late W. A.
Graham, commissioner of agricul
ture, it was used by Governor Vance
in 1864 when he visited the Army of
Northern Virginia and addressed the
North Carolina soldiers. In address
ing the soldiers Governor Vance said,
“I have concluded to call you fellow
Tar-Heels.” The term had been used
during the war before that time
however, not as a worthy epithet, but
the opposite.
3. Willie P. Mangum, born in that
part of Orange county now formed
into Durham county. Mangum served
three terms as North Carolina Con
gressman and then was sent to the
Senate. It was in 1837 that South
Carolina supported him for the presi
dency.
4. The assembly of 1672 fixed the
price of rum at 25 pounds of tobacco.
Because of this low price traders re
fused to bring commodities, includ
ing rum to the North Carolina coast
al towns. In order to get other com
modities needed it was necessary to
raise the price of rum.
5. The North Carolina presidential
vote in 1928 was: Hoover, 348,923;
Smith, 286,227, giving Hoover a ma
jority of 62,696.
6. In 1729 Governor Richard
Everard, who was a strong believer
in the Church of England was alarm
ed, “When I find Quakers & Baptists
flourish amongst the North Caro
linians,” he wrote, and added that it
behoved him as governor “to enquire
& look into the Original cause.”

job Placements up
IN STATE BY HALF
Raleigh, July 24.—A 49 per cent
increase in job placements in the
first six months of 1939, over the
first six months of 1938, was shown
in the report of activities of the
State Unemployment Compensation
Commission’s Employment Service
Division, headed by Director R. May
ne Albright. Placements for the
I first six months of this year were
| % 51,168 of which 25,608, or slightly
more than half, were in private in
dustry.
During the first six months of last
year, 28.8 placements were made for
each 100 applicants registered with
the Employment Service Division,
while in the first six months of this
year jobs were found for 75.8 out of
each 100 applicants.
The true value of knowledge is
to be estimated by the good it does.

Fewer Than One Out of Five
Finish IHigh School During
11-Year Period
Chapel Hill, July 24.—Less than
one pupil out of every five who en
ters the first grade in the schools
of North Carolina graduates and
less than two out of five remain
throughout elementary school work.
These facts were made known in
a survey covering an 11-year-period
—from the first grade through high
school—the results of which have
been described as a “tragic record”
for this State by C. E. Mclntosh, di
rector of the co-operative personnel
study.
Mr. Mclntosh, under whose di
rection the survey was conducted,
said there are many legitimate
causes for this record, such as ill
ness, death and migration, “but
when all known causes have been
considered, it will still have to be
admitted even by the more preju
diced that we lose far too many boys
and girls from this ‘American ef
fort to preserve democracy’.”
The State Department of Public
Instruction, the North Carolina
College Conference, the University
of North Carolina Testing Service
and the National Youth Administra
tion joined last year to set up the
cooperative personnel study for the
purpose of ferreting out conditions
surrounding young people of school
age. Later the State Employment
Service and the State Council of
Youth-Serving agencies joined in
the work, and their results, Mr. Mc-
Intosh said, showed an alarming
need for guidance.
Covering the period from 1927 to
1938, the group found that in the
first year there were 123,000 white
children in the first grades of the
state’s public schools. The follow
ing year more than one-third were
not in the second grade and by
the time the group reached the
seventh grade nearly two-thirds of
the original number had become re
tarded or had left school.
By the time these boys and girls
entered high school in 1934, 45,600
of the original group were left. And
9,000 of these 45,600 did not become
sophomores, 6,000 more failed to
become juniors, and 5,500 did not
reach the senior class.
“What is most startling of all,”
Mr. Mclntosh said, “is the fact that
during the senior year—with gradu
ation only a few months or weeks
away—2,7oo more left school or
failed to keep up with the class.”
On commencement day, 22,500 re
ceived diplomas, 18.4 per cent of
those who entered the first grade
11 years before.
Quizzing these students shortly
before graduation, the survey re
vealed that 85 per cent had taken
a general academic or college prep
aratory course of study while only
20 per cent of them intended going
to college. Only 15 per cent had
any vocational courses, though 30
per cent still wished to take such
courses—after high school gradua
tion. And more than 3,000 planned
to go to work immediately, while
13,000 had no idea what they would
do.
MOST FARM HOMES HAVE
ELECTRICItY IN EASTON
■
Gastonia, July 24.—A few months
ago, there were 1,800 farm homes in
Gaston ’ county without electricity;
within 90 days, practically every
home will have electric service.
Maury Gaston, farm agent of the
State College Extension Service,
said 75 miles of lines have just been
completed, and 75 additions miles
will be ready in the next three
months.
Electric refrigerators, milkers,
appliances are being added rapidly
appliances are being added rapidly
to the growing list of modern con
veniences in the farm homes.
A man wish troubles to tell you
should be cheered up by telling him
your own.
R. M. Evans, national adminis
trator of the Triple-A program, will
speak in Raleigh Memorial audi
torium, August 4, at 11 a. m. at a
mass meeting of North Carolina
farmers.

“It is a very remarkable docu

irresponsibile melodramatic docu
ment that one sometimes uncovers in
searches of this sort. It is a very
carefully worked out staff plan, the
kind that might be worked out by
a general staff, setting out in detail

He also disclosed that since the

were reduced in many cases at the

unspecified sum to an intermediary
at Bethlehem for delivery to the
kidnapers of Rev. G. R. Goldner,
Ohio clergyman, abducted by Arabs
six days ago.
It was understood that this was to
be regarded as a “down payment,”
with the stipulation that an addi
tional sum would be paid when Gold
ner was freed.
There was one report that the
kidnapers had reduced their original
ransom demand from $5,000 to $2,-
500.
Miller said upon leaving here for
Bethlehem that he expected quick
release of the kidnaped clergyman,
possibly by nightfall.
Coincident with Miller’s statement,
it was disclosed that in the early
morning hours today, Dr. Jacob
Goldner, father of the captive, had
received another hopeful message
from his son, in answer to his own
plea to know whether the kidnaped
man was alive.
