Extra session talk enough amonfi regular members ot' the late general assembly was heard here today to inspre prophecy iL Govt'iiiur 3rprriaoii 55SG5 take it as a personal affront. The governor is responsible lor none of It, but the eight assembly members who were spotted in the hoiuia todaj btrilivfe thjji it is sure, to come. They are confident that nei rlher roads nor taxes can budge wlth 1 out snnpi^nmnr-iry ? lugiolaHon . Some of them came here to taHt to the Supreme eoiirt, others to bey tor ? ? ? Watts, still others to appeal for M&x-> well, and perhaps some of them just to see the ? town J- Some the visi tors are confident that the special +sesstoir must, be held and that if it is not done not a road bond can be sold. None of them talked for publicati on, but hone ot them had the slights est hostility to Governor Morrison. The governor hasn't a better friend than Representative Paul Grady, of Johnston county, the debt-froest peo ple In the state. Until they recently sold courthouse bonds at a premium they hadn't a cent of bonded indebt edness. They are flat bnt unafraid. Mr. Grady sees no way to avoid the session. He Is a youngster who hasn't the Harry Stubbs habit ? com ing every year all one s natural life. He will not come until summoned. But Grady sees no hope. He does not believe It possible to raise the revenue necessary without a proper ty tax. and he understands perfectly the possibility of raising the money in flash times without this tax. He does not believe the bonds can be sold and the millions lifted without tax. His people, so free from debt, are "broke" as he says. Representative Everett, ot Durhiuiii was here today, too. He Isn't look ing tor legislative troubles? he is trying to make cotton farmers feel their power. He Is going abroad. He Introduced the cotton resolution under which the cotton commission was created. He is Interested In learning something of world-market conditions and he gpes hence to hear. An extra session may find Mm rum maging about in Europe among : milled cats and has-been kings. But Everett has felt the baek-l beck-fire . The more he gets ?w from Raleigh the more he thinks that the general assembly, of which he was not an Inconsequential part, kblundered in putting all the road bar dens on the automobiles and laying little or none on the property that th ese turnpikes will enrich. He l>|rt? it cannot be defended in any moral forum. And he Is not so sure that the state Is going to rid it self ot Its paper. The Republican members have saying all the while that the ?0BHa% session Is bound to come. The*lj6* almost ready to tell when It wfKfhe called. And all these direful ecies are rested on the market oMil tions. The money is nowhere U?-%a found. ? W. T. Bost In Qrssqflitl* News. '"I; J ? APT! RES DOUBLE Hi Sheriff H. A. Kearney Sheriff K. H.
