two main purposes in the organization

COMH ( TOR SAVKI) HIS

Spencer .Man Detects Broken Rail by

1 A remarkable incident in connec

probably saved the lives of pisseng
(re on a Southern railway fast train,
was that occurring several days ago
; wlio.ll Conductor K. 1,. Miller, who
'runs on a freight out of Spencer on
I the north end, detected a broken rail
by mere sound while sitting in the
leal) of his train, freight No. 5212. run
! liing as art extra, and when passing
l over a section of track between Spen
|cer and Lexington.
j Conductor Miller was busy at the
time making up some reports, but his
ears were also at work arid as the
1 train went up a grade near Lexington
lie felt a very slight jolt, hut it was
nut an ordinary jolt and the railroad
man know it.
I "If that isn't a broken rail, then
41'don't know what a broken rail is,”
he said lie thoughto himself. So
j when his train stopped n short dis
it a nee up the mad he sent his flagman
'hack to make an investigation, and
j instructed the flagman that if he
I found anything wrong to go hack still
I farther and flag fast passenger train

j enough the flagman found a broken
! rail and carried out the further or
ders of his conductor. No 30 "hall-

Beautiful Womanhood For March.
The March issue of Beautiful
.Womanhood is fascinating. It con
tains a wide variety of infoVmation
'on beauty and beauty culture. Among
' the eontridutors are Charlotte Per
for the development to fisheries in the
state. His recommendation of J>ls.-
000,000 for the highway construction
program was granted. His recommen
dation that two new. departments of
! government, a department of indus
tries and commerce and a department
of -hanking, was not enacted into Jaw.
I To ho submitted to the general oiec
tioTi nr** three amendments to the <*on
! stitufion passed upon by the general
j assembly. They propose tin* limitation
jof tin* slate debt to 7 1-2 per cent, of
the taxable valuation of the state; to
make sinking finals inviolable, both
suggestions of the governor; and to
provide tax exemption for the home
i under mortgage up to half tin* face of |
the obligation, provided tin* mortgage
! does not exceed SB,OOO, jintl for the ex
emption of half the mortgage from
taxation, provided tin- rate of interest
’charged on the loan does not ox’ceed
in 1-2 per cent.
j The assembly voted to place solioi
! tors on salary of $4,500 and $750 ex
j pense account, hut defcrnr*d tin* change
[to October 1. 1024, anil ii decline*! to
'increase the number of judges .and to
[divide tin* state to make seven addi
jlional districts. The proposition to
| take the judges from under tin* state
j primary law failed, as did ihe hill

alia noon its policy of pensioning iis

The slate liquor laws were brought
into closer harmony with* tin* Volstead
net, the shite retaining its prohibition
of whiskey prescriptions hut discard
ing its old statutory provision that
possession of whiskey should lx* prima

Workmen’s compensation legisla

was j»resen ted hy tin* various factions,
failed of passage. The department of
'labor and printing, threatened with
partial disintegration fiy ihe report of

storm siiid came out with a bureau for
the employment of deaf persons added
to it. ,
Several changes wore authorized for
state institutions'. The tuberculosis
sanitarium was placed under :i sepa
rate board <>j’ directors. 'l’lu* trustees
of North Carolina State College were
increased from I<* to fitß the depart
ment for the criminal insane at the
state prison was abolished and tin* in
sane consigned to a state hospital, and
provision was made for the building of
an Eastern North Carolina ■ training
school for hoys. v
Through vigorous opposition, the
general education hill, codifying the
state school law and still further em
pha-sizing thq development of control
of the schools, according to legisla
tors. passed in shape entirely sjitis
fjictory to the head of the state
schools, according to legislators, pass
ed ill 'shall** entirely satisfactory to
the head of the state schools, recog
nized as Jin advocate of the centrali
zation method.
The assembly raised the age of con
sent from 14 to IC* years; refused to
alto#’ th<* divorce laws and declined to
pass :t hill to prohibit Xfie flogging of
prisoners. Among other legislation of
fered and refused was a hill to regu
late the automolfiie for hire, operating
on the stjite highways.
The general revenue hill, carrying a
new exemption for foreign corporation,
stocks, but leaving the rate of income
taxation unchanged, passed; and the
machinery act providing for the quad
rennial revaluation of property hy the
counties without state revision was en
acted.,
Persistent efforts to regulate the Ku
Klux Khifi failed to meet the approval
of the Senate after the House had
passed.
Trinity Church Anniversary.
New York, March 13. —In Trinity
Churi'h today a special service was
held in commemoration of the holding
of flu* first service in the original
Trinity Church in this city just two

members of the Church of England in
America, as, ifie present Protestant
Episcopal Church was then styled, in
1004, when religious services were
first held in the chapel of a fort near
the Battery. This developed into
what is now Trini.v parish. The first
church of the parish, a small square
building, was begun in 1 Gi>o jmd finish
ed in HU>B; it was enlarged in 1737
and was destroyed by lire in 177<‘>.
The second church on the site was
built in 1778 and was torn down in
1830 to make way for the present
edifice, which was completed in 1840
and was consecrated on May 21 of
that year. The first rector of the.
parish was Itt. Rev. Henry Compton.
Lord Bishop of London, who was
made rector by King William 111. at
the time of the granting of the char
ter in It>o7, hut Rev. William Vesey,
D. R., was appointed rector in Febru
ary of that year. Rt. Rev. John
Hobart, bishop of New York, was
vector when the present church was
built.
