COUNTY LEQ&ATOK (Continued* from page 1) ions of the taw. Bill referred to u (5) *u intro duce by Dr. Nowoll and Mr. Law rcnca. ,q, Bill referred to as (11) was intro duce by Representatives Nowell, Simpson, Lawrence and Burgwyn, though written out by Representative Lawrence. Sia BUIs Failed The six bills introduce by the Hertford Representative that failed of passage, ware as follows: 1. To amend the banking taws: (This bill was favorably reported out by the committee, and came up twice on the floor of the House, but the Hertford Representative having con cluded that the bill would create a discrimination, in that it would apply to state banks and could not apply to national banks, voluntarily made the motion to table the bill, even though other members were urging its pas sage. It was tabled. 2. To memorialise our Senators and Representatives in Congress to propose an amendment to the federal constitution providing for a vote of the people on all future, amendments of the U. S. Constitution. (After this bill had been introduced, the judiciary committee of the United States Senate reported out a bill car 1 rying out the ideas expressed in the Lawrence bill, and it was therefore held up. 5. To create > service letter act (Unfavorable report of the commit tee, on the ground that no need existed for this law). 4. Relating to the recorder's court of Hertford County. (Held up by the Hertford member, because of considerable doubt that it could be administered to any advantage to the county). 6. Relating to inspection of lubri cating oils. (Unfavorable report by judiciary committee, after one of largest lobbies of the entire session had put in some good work against the measure, and after one entire afternoon and the half of another had been given to its consideration.) " 6. To increase the fees of jurors in courts of justices of the peace. (Un favorable report in the absence of the Hertford member, on the grounds that it would make the costs of a jury in a justice's court prohibitory. The present law is twenty-five cents for such a juror. The bill called for an increase to fifty cents per juror. It should have passed. Instances are known where such jurors were forced to go four or five miles and stay all day, and yet received the pitiful sum of twenty-five cents for their ser vices.) Amendments Sought Among the important measures in troduced by other members, and to which the Hertford member attempt ed to secure amendments, were as follows: Solicitor's salary Mil, the machinery act, and the tick eradica tion law. He was successful as to the ma chinery act, but not as to either of the other two. His amendment offered as to the solicitor"* salary bill provided for a mimimum salary of $3600.00 and a maximum of $4600.00, depending upon the population of each district. $3600.00 would have been allowed in districts having 100,000 people or less, and an additional $250.00 for each 25,000 people. This amendment created considerable favor, and would have saved the State about $60,000 per annum as against the bill or law that was enacted; but the "powers-that-be" were set upon a higher compensation, simply because most of the solicitors were receiving a much larger income from their fees. The Mil that passed allows each solicitor $4600.00 per annum and an expense account of $750.00, making a total income to'each solicitor of $6260.00 each year. As to the tick eradication bQl, the Hertford member drew up an amend ment for Representative Davis of Hyde exempting his county from the operations of the law until after the ?ii' " . 1 ." ????? mum had keen approved by the board of commiaaionera of Hyde county. This anient Iment was set down on by the House. Thereupon the Hertford member sent forward a similar amendment for Hertford County and . wen| to the floor of the House with a brief speech, in which be said that . he knew just what fate would befall the amendment, but that it (are him an opportunity to express to the , House a protest against the destruc tion of the principles of local self government, which was rapidly becoming a thing of memory only, and which in his boyhood daya had been taught as one of the pillars of I democratic faith. Ku Klux BW On the Kb Klux Klan measure or Milliken bill, Representative Law rence voted for this measure as origi nally drawn. ltd original draft was generally conceeded as very doubt ful of practical enforcement, and was further weakened by amendments. After this was done the member from Hertford balked and voted against it, explaining his change of position in the following language: "I am op posed to invisible or super govern ments that deprive the courts of their right to punish criminals, bot this bill has been amended to the point that it id now a conglomerated mass of meaningless matter, and 1 vote NO." Whatever is worth doing, is I worth doing properly; and if not done I properly had beat not be done at all. Against Bond Issues On this legislation the attitude of the Hertford Representative is clear. It was consistently "No", except in the sole exception of the measure providing for a fund of two millions of dollars to loan on good real estate security to ex-service men or soldiers of the late war to enable them <to build homes. This fund differed from all others, in that it is not to be wast ed or spent, but simply to be loaned to help those who had helped their state and county in the late war, by providing a fund to enable the ex-ser vice man to own and build a home, on condition that he give good security for the loan and repay the same to the State. Besides this, the all impor tant fact remains that this measure does not become a law until after it has been submitted to and approved by the people at the next general election. As a further reason for voting "No" upon the several bond is sues, the Hertford Representative at one time explained his vote in sub stantially the following language: "Mr. Speaker: I believe the finan cial condition of North Carolina to be sound. I do not know this to? be a fact, and a serious issue has arisen involving just that question. Before I vote for any increased liability upon this great State, I must know that fact. I therefore vote 'No' THE INDIAN WARWHOOF (Continued from page 8) make ua feel mean, But she's so big hearted she sees our side And always steps out as a wonderful guide. Thoughts of parting almost break our hearts, For each of us know she takes our part? Here's to the one who will never fail. Our dear beloved teacher, Miss Emily Gayle." Miss Gayle responded with a toast as follows: "Here's to the Freshies so dear to my heart, It would make me feel sad if forever we part, We have been six months together Both in rough and fair weather, You all know that I love you well, Because it is no trouble for me to tall." , We departed after telling Mrs. Newsome that we had enjoyed the occasion very much indeed. ????????

(Continued from page 1) and shortly afterwards married the daughter of General Zachary Taylor and moved to Mississippi where he en gaged in agriculture'and thoroughly acquainted himself with the Consti tution of his country. He made his first political speech in 1841 In he half of the Democratic party which was the beginning of a brilliant political career, ending with the fall of the Confederacy in 1886. Twice was he elected to -the Senate of the United States and there proved his ability as a great orator, and in meeting the great intellectual powers of the country, his opinion and advice was substituted for none. While in the Senate he was a i^uunpion of slavery and of state rights. He was Secre tary of War under Preeident Franklin Pieree. In 1881 when Mississippi se ceded from the Union, Jefferson Davis gave up all his national glories and became the President of the Con federate States of America. By rea son of his official position, as well as his ability and force of character, his was the guiding hand in the long struggle. He was unwilling to give up when the cause became hopeless, and even in his last message dated March ISth, 1866 he declared that in spite of reverses, success might be secured. General Lee surrendered at Appomattox in less than thirty days after this, and on the approach of the Federal army, Jefferson Davis left Richmond, and after a conference with Generals Beauregard and John son at Greensboro, N. C. he set out with an escort westward through Georgia. Only a few days passed before a detachment of Federal sold iers under Lieut-Col. Pritchard cap tured Jefferson Davis at Irwinsville, Ga. and placed him in prison at Fort ress Monroe, Old Point, Va. He wai confined there for two years and then : indicted for treason. Money was of i fered for his bail by the millions and he wae finally admitted to bail May, 13th, 1867. The best brains of the South with their wealth of knowledge ..ransacked thousands of legal volumes in behalf of the father of the fallen Confederacy. He was arraigned be fore the highest and most august tribunal of the age. Old, feeble, and infirm, was he'he standing within his moral rights, if not in his legal? His accusers failed to prosecute and he was never tried. Southern soldiers stood with faces drenched with tears and lamented the fall of their cause, and the great Judge looked Jefferson Davis straight in the eye and said he was guilty of no crime. From that | beautiful hour throughout the endleae cycles of eternity Jefferson Davis is hailed a patriot and not a traitor. He immediately moved to the beautiful city of our Southland, New Orleans, La., and lived there in retirement un til his death, ten years before the birth of your humble speaker, Dec. 6, 1889. I have now disclosed sufficient facts for my hearers to let their minds eulogise on the character of this outstanding figure. WINTON CHAPER U. D. C. "I do not deem it altogether fitting and proper for me to discourse on the right of a state to withdraw from the Union. That is no longer a practical question. A judgment of four years of bloodshed together with an amend ment to our United States Constitu tion has lifted the interrogative from our minds. Yet in my humble way I deem it fitting, and always shall, pay tribute to the integrity, character and high ideals for those who fought and fell. I realise that, today there is no north, there is no north, there is no east, there is no west, but in mem ory of Jefferson Davis, his lieuten ants and followers, the flag of purity and adoration will forever stand at half-mast in the heart of the South. "My friends, search the school houses of this eonnty and of this state and point to me a picture of Jefferson Davis. Yon can't find one, and I say his should be the first that a southern school should purchase. Search the histories that educate the children of our land and the only I thing you will find is mention of the fact that Jefferson Davis was Presi dent of the Confederacy. Go to any leading book store end purchase the autobiography of this chWctor and you win have to pay the sua of forty dollars per volume. The eurpasaing worth of this great man is lastly be coming apparent with the passing of years. In practically every county we have monuments erected ia memory of the south'a fallen dead, but no-| where do we find in connection with that, a tablet commemorating their Chief Executive, and I make my ap peal to the United Daughters of the Confederacy and, to the grandsons of General Lee and General Grant, who fought side by side only a few months ago for the cauee of humanity and the cause of unity and freedom, to unite their love for their great chief' executive of the Confederacy and their love for their country's late patriota, and erect in commemoration of those ideals a tablet to the interlty and honor of our ancestor, and at the same time commemorate the memory of our own brothers who now sleep in Flanders Fields" Lime will improve many garden soils.
