v GOOD WOMAN GONE
On February 18, 1915, Lucinda Cur
tis died at the home of John W. Cur
tis in Liberty, where she had liven
for eight years.
"Aunt Lou" had been almost an in
valid for 12 vears, and had been con
fined to her room for the past ;
months with dropsy.
She suffered a great deal, but bore
her sufferings with great patience.
She professed religion and joined the
church at Gray's Chapel in the year
1864 and remained a faithful member
for 48 years, and only one year failed
to pay her pastor.
She was 7: years and 10 days old.
She leaves one brother living, Dennis
Curtis, of Randleman. She had two
other brothers both having preceeded
her to the grave, John and Nonoleon
Curtis also five sisters all having been
dead several years.
We miss "Aunt IjOu" so much in
our home and if it had not been that
we have seen her suffer so much and
realize she had no pleasure in this
world, we would think we could not
give her up. but we console ourselves
that it was a relief to "Aunt Lou" to
pass out of this world of sufferings.
She said for the relatives not to weep
for she would be better off, and we
trust she is.
Her remains were laid to rest on
the 20th, at Gray's Chapel eemetery
by the side of her sistr, Isabel Curtis,
who proceeded her ubout 12 years ago.
The funeral was conducted by G. F.
Milloway, of Greensboro.
Her niece, Martha Curtis.

Raleigh.
Consideration of the machinery bill
was resumed in the House and two
hours Indulged in on the fourteenth
section, to provide a county assessor
and a lister for each township instead
of the township assessor system that
the present a;t "provides.
Representative Doughton, in sup
porting the committee section, was
bombarded with Questions tor half an
hour. Insisting that, after as thorough
study of taxation problem as he was
capable of, he was satisfied that the
assessor system was the best yet de
vised. The vote when finally reached
was by roll-call. It was 50 for the
Allen amendment and 60 against it.
Representative Roberts of Bun
combe offered an amendment to pro
vide for two assessors Instead of one
township assessor. This was -voted
down 46 to 50.
Senator McMichael called up his
amendment to defer t'he fixing of the
state tax rate until the reassessment
of property Is settled and limit In
crease in revenues to six per cent
over the psst two years, the State Tax
Commission to automatically fix the
tax rate as a metiiematlcal deduction
as between the value of the property
asessed and the state tax to be raised.
The amendment was voted on 30 to
11 after McMk-hael had pleaded that
Chairman Travis of the Tax Commis

would work in all right whh the other
features of the rovenue and machin

The senate spent from 11 o'clock to
nearly 1 o'clock voting on a sreat
number of amendments offered to the
statewide primary bill before the
ote on the main question was reach
ed. The committee amendments
were all adopted, but aM thce offered
since the argument begun were voted
down except two, one by Senator Mc
Itae of Mecklenburg and the other by
Senator White. The McRae amend
ment provides for the exemption of
50-odd counties specified from oper
ation as to county officers. Including
members ef the bouse of representa
tives. The White amendment pro
vides that any one of the counties so
ewrptetf- may fote- them -

asking for the election.
An amendment by Johnson of Du
plin to also exempt a large number of
senatorial districts was lost by a close
vote. The Mcliae amendment carried
by one majority, 24 to 26.
When the amendments were all In
and the main question was ready to
be put there was a demand that the
bill go to the committee on appro

Aerate Discusses Airtl-Jufl B1H.
When the senate took up the dis
cussion of the anti-jug bill of the
North Carolina Anti-Saloon League.
which has already passed the house.
Senator Gilliam sugeMed that four
hours he devoted to the argument,
as most any little private bill was
debated three hours. Johnson or L'u
plln wanted to limit discussion to one
and a half hours. This was with
drawn.
The bill was ready and the opening
sneech was by Senator White, who
explained the bill, discs seed the need
for such legislation and demaned lor
It. recalling the Watts bill 12 years
ago, the subsequent Ward bill enact
ment, lie credited great educational,
Industrial and moral progress as re
sulting from past probrbltkm meas
ures. The great .volume of petitions for
the bill that have poored into the
legislature was mentioned ae evi
dence of the demand for the legisla
tion.
Senator Speight, although fearfnl
that the bill was too advanced, said he
was not a Democrat during the discus
sion, but a citizen of North Caroline.
He urged the senate to vote for the
bill.
As between Judge F. A. Daniels
and Rev. Mr. Davis, wblch bad you
rather follow for public morals?" Sen
ator Gilliam asked. Qualifying the
question by saying that be did not In
tend to reflect on either, Senator
Speight said he bad no hesitancy In
following Mr. Davis.
When the session of the senate
opened, .lobbies and g&Itertes were
crowded with spectators eager to hear
the discussion of the anti-jug bill. Soon
after the discussion opened Senator
Cohoon invoked the senate rule that
excludes from the bar of senate all
except senators and any others In
vlted by the senate. He stated after
wards that this motion was for the
reason that Supt. R. L. Davis of the
Anti-Saloon League had entered the
bar and broken a senator's seat and
that he was tired of what seemed to
him officious domineering methods of
the superintendent In hte dealings
with the legislature. He saM he ex
pected to support th MM, but that be
would not stand for such methods,
