THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. >• * •' ~. VOL. XLVII Fifty Millions lor Hard Surface Roads Power io Enforce Prohibition Wanted —Senator Long Pots Through Stock Law Measure—Judge's Pay Increased. TRAVELING MEN WANT RELIEF. (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 7.—The hard surfaced State system of good roads is the leading issue with the Legislature this week' and after the hearings the last few days of the various and sundry from all parts of the State before the committee, the ■ indications today point to fifty mil lions for roads without any ad valorem tax, with a system of State maintenance and control. Governor Morrison states that the measure that has come to be known as the Doughton-Connor bill will be satisfactory to him (and presumably to Hon. Heriot Clarkson who baa, as chairman of the State association, done most of -the engineering and bard work on the subject for months in pre paring the way for the enactment of a satisfactory and effective law), with some minor alterations which can be made on the floor of the two Houses when the bill is taken up. In short, aft- the contending forces appear to have reached a •'common agreement and are stand ing together and that means the enactment of the law—notwith standing the bad news of high rates for money as brought back from New Tork by State Treas urer Lacy, who got a good bargain after in his sale of bonds at six .and a quarter per cent, consider ing the conditions in the financial market jnst now. More Power to the Law Enforce ment Arm. Within a few days (here will be presented to the Legislature a most important measure to pro vide for the better enforcement of State prohibition laws. It will provide for State-wide control. Some of its provisions inolude the following: For a chief officer to be named by a department of special law enforcement which the bill would create, the Governor as chairman, the Attorney Gen eral and three other citisens of the State to be appointed by the Gov ernor, and the assistants shall have all the authority now vested in sheriffs in the matter of en forcing the dry laws "regardles of counties throughout the State}" Other featttMß of the bill are: "It shall be unlawful fa trans port or hssist in transporting in toxicating liquors ,xnquantibiew of as much as u pontoonvfotion of son oonvtcted shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and punished the discretion of the cour%-*nd the property, vehicle, or animals' used in such tusmgportstion shall; be subject to and sale." . "Not exceeding forty fiildSoUl cers," for the flfarte iS-theyloa of the bill. That would .sueantfee chief officer, five assistants, and 40 others. For the maintenance of this force, #126,000 is re quested. It is estimated, however, that the money colleated from dry laws violators and the sales** property confiscated would not only repay the $125,000, but add enough to keep the schools of the State go ing, instesd of the bar-room tax used for educational purposes it would be the other way round. Legislative Note*. , Senator Elmer Long of Ala mance, who is one of the most effective and energetic members of the "Upper House," hss put through the stock law measure which .he hss been nursing for some time, and did so with an overwhelming majority. By the terms of this measure the entire eastern section of the State comes under the law. The tick eradication bill has been set as the t*>eeial order /or Wednesday in both houses, and there pro ibises to be n long-winded debate. Some of the eastern Beaa~ tors and Representatives are greatly opposed to the bill and will flgfrfrtoteoaisMly. The hill passed the Senate Fri day last increasing the pay of the Superior Court Judges and the State departmental officers, not inelnded in the first bill, is in the House at this writing, and there will be same opposition developed there, as was the case in the Sen ate. But the chances are that there are enough broad-vision ed men there to pass the measure Even then North Carolina will be well *to the foot of the list of States in the amount of salaries paid its pnblic officials. The workman's compensation measures, foar of which are n«>w in the hands of committee, are as far from acMon as at the begin ning of the -session, largely be cause the legislators know scarce ly anything of the subject. The judiciary committer took a week's recess to allow the members to study the subject and' it will be taken up again the last of the week. The traveling men held a meet ing here and appointed a com mittee to secure the drafting of a bill to be presented to the Legis lature for relief from the alleged continued profiteering of hotel and cafe men. Burgwyn, of Northampton, has Introduced a bill to reduce the amount of honsehold property exempt from taxation from S3OO to $25. Bnt it has no chance of passing.

Royall of Goldsboro; "The Miner," a tragedy of North Caro lina country life, and "The Old Man of Edenton," a melodrama of the period of 1700, both writ ten by Paul E. Greene of Lilling ton, who has been one of the most successful of the local playwrights. The entire production of the plays will be handled by the Play makers, including the staging, scenery, lighting, costumes, and acting. It is "probable, the Play makers have announced, that a road trip will be taken later : n the spring. Greensboro, Salisbury,! High Point, Charlotte, Raleigh, Goldsboro, ant other cities have requested that souie of the local folk lor* plays l>e presented in their theaters.
