SOiONS OCCUPY I CENTER OF STAGE Many Bills Before General Assembly; Whiskey Measure Is Killed Early FIGHT SECRET BALLOA By M. L. SHIPMAN RALEIGH, Jan. 29.?Again this: past week the General Assembly ( was the center of interest as many, important measures came up for, consideration and the budget com-, mittee continued its work of listen- | ing to pleas for added funds for institutions and departments. Chief. amone measures up for considera-! tion were the bills providing for medicinal dispensing of whiskey, j liberalizing the divorce laws, sterilizing mental defectives, barring lobbyists and tagging them, work-| men's compensation, and many others. Governor Gardner was trying to line up forces for his Australian ballot system and got an ally in former Governor Morrison i but it was reported that eastern! North Carolina would kill this measure offhand. No announcement was made with reference to the State highway commission, pardon commission and State prison jobs though it was indicated that Nat Townsend had refused the pardon commissioner's post. The senate finally killed the measure which would have liberaliz- J ed the prohibition laws so that j whiskey might be dispensed by drug stores on doctors' prescriptions. The matter was referred back to committees for amendments but even in improved form it failed of passage, i Representative Boren's bill provid- j ing that five years of involuntary! i--J ? noMofifntn nrrnnnHc , separation wuuiu wi?wi/uuv for divorce was passed by the house and sent to the upper body. It was meant specifically to afford relief to the mates of convicts but many feared that it was an opening wedge to make divorce easy and were opposed on that ground as the laws on this subject are plenty lax now. Lobbying Bill Fails A move to tag all those appearing in Raleigh in favor of bills as lobbyists failed in the senate after Senator Person had made a valiant fight. His measure was far-reaching in scope and was aimed at, he said, the big business interests of the State, especially the power interests. A bill to provide for sterilization of mental defectives was presented and referred to committee. This is in line with advanced thought of the day and no doubt the measure will have many friends when it comes up for consideration. The heads of educational institutions anneareri hefnre the nowers that be this week and urged that they be allowed more funds. The request for educational funds was pressed by leading educators of the State but no indication was given that any changes would be made from the recommendations as this is undoubtedly an economy legislature and may be inclined to carry the cuts to extremes. Having Hard Fight Governor Gardner is having a hard time in his f ght for an Australian ballot system. It is reported that many influential Democratic leaders, especially from eastern ! North Carolina, are fighting the pro- ' position and it will have hard sled- ? ding. Whether the undoubted J demand from the people for honest < election and secret election laws \ will have any weight with legisla- 1 tors remain to be seen. At the \ present time the vocal powers are all favoring elimination of the Austrlian ballot bill by the easest method. At the same time former Governor Morrison tame out for the bill proposed by Governor Gardner's henchmen in the G eneral Assemby < and this may influence some votes. j During the week the senate passed < the bill restoring to the Governor J the right to fill vacancies in the < United States senate brought about \ Dy aeam or resignation, it is gen- 1 erally believed that this is a political move designed to give Governor Gardner the right to name either McLean or Morrison, or both, in the event of death of either one' i* r = [ E25J Land anc A tract of land known Tract, containing 10J) bounded on the N. by J. ton; on the S. by the P lands; on the E. by the and on the W. by Fisl located on this land w either separately or tog' POLK AND GIBE W1 Warrenton, North or both of the Incumbents, and both Overman and Simmons are believed to be near the end of their careers. It is hard to say what will happen to this bill in the house but there are those who insist that the primary law should govern in such1 cases, also why have the primary. They argue the people have a right to elect their own senators. Workmen's Compensation A measure providing for workmen's compensation was introduced and referred to committee. For twenty years your correspondent, as commissioner of labor and printing, made a fight for such a measure but was unable to get it through. Sentiment of the people has crystallized now though and the workmen probably will get justice. The bill also deals fairly with employers and is said to be favored by them. Another bill of interest will provide pensions for ' ~ ? " vn/J cVtnvifFa dependents 01 puutcmcu anu onum. and their deputies killed in line of duty or aged in the service. This bill is slated for early passage if all indications are correct, for it is felt it does justice to a neglected class and without raising the tax levies. Among other bills of interest now pending are the following: to increase the penalty for public drunkeness; to increase the number of justices of the State Supreme court from five to seven,; to prohibit crop estimates by State authorities which are speculative in character; to reduce the penalty on property advertised for taxes from 20 to 12 per cent of the tax; to change date of primary elections from first Saturday in June to first Tuesday after first Saturday, this being sponsored generally by newspapermen and public officials who work under great hardships under the present law, to provide a State mine inspector; to teach the harmful affects of alcohol in the State schools, and many local bills from various counties. Suit Settled A suit involving around $200,000 annual revenue of the automobile department of the State was settled during the week by Judge Henry A. Grady when he ruled against the State. The commissioner of revenue was seeking to collect the gasoline tax of four cents per gallon from counties using gasoline and ths judge ruled that the State had no right to levy on counties. It was said that the matter will be carried to the .State Supreme court for final decree. During the week the affairs of State fair came to the front with an indication that there was some[Middle Lite! | Troubles 1 I]E99JH| "About twenty years ago, my health \ Spr was very bad," says A Sb ^1 Mrs. Mat Howard, P 1 of Terrell, Texas, a was passing \ ] through a critical $ time in my life, and a H I suffered a great deaL I was not at # S.

IS, ATTORNEYS - THE W thing wrong. A deficit was shown in revenue but a shortage also was alleged to have been discovered in receipts. The manager, Mr. Moye, resigned his past and it was indicated that the State fair trustees would study the matter, audit the books and give out a statement shortly. In the meantime the matter of using a portion of State fair grounds for a public golf links again was agitated. y ' W. H. Lawrence, wealthy contractor of Durham, lost his appeal in the Supreme court from a sentence of 30 years for murder of Mrs. Annie Terry, dressmaker of Durham. The case aroused considerable interest at the time of the murder ( a year ago when the woman was killed by being thrown from a bridge. Lawrence was convicted solely on circumstantial evidence and has steadfastly denied his guilt. I He risked his all on an appeal based j | an insufficient evidence rather than erorr in conducting the case and the high court ruled on this one( point only. He will beg'n his sentence in the next lew days. Special districts whtcn are not keeping up their interest payments on outstanding bonds are again worrying the State auditor and he indicated that action would be in- j stituted shortly to compel payments in delinquent cases. The law pro- ; vides that the State auditor must see that payments are made and gives the right to call such matters to the attention of solicitors when payments are not made. Flu Peak Passed The peak of the influenza epidemic . has passed says the State health department, though the full death list as a result has not yet been compiled. Care is still urged by ' those suffering from after affects of the disease as the best means of keeping away relapses.

A war on gamblers in Wake county resulted in 19 arrests over the week end. Sergeant E. W. Thomas, retired, well known and respected citizen of Raleigh dropped dead a week ago while leading the singing in First Vanguard church of this city. A bus service from Raleigh to Norfolk has been instituted and is said to be very convenient for those who travel this territory. Two trips a day in each direction are scheduled. The ninth annual convention of Women Voters of the State was held last week and the ladies formulated a legislative program for which they will fight before the General Assembly. Usually they have little success but have seen some of their measures adopted after years of fighting. The budget commission, headed by Auditor Burke is in constant bickering with various departments for the cold blooded way in which it handles fiscal matters without regard for other considerations. The latest fuss is between the commission and the State laboratory of public hygiene which is doing a wonderful work in preventing disease by preparing serums and the like. The laboratory has public confidence to an unusual degree and needs a slight increase in funds to carry on its research work but the budget heads have cut the funds to the bone. It is to be hoped, in the interests of public health, that the laboratory will win its fight and the people can help by writing their representatives in the legislature to grant the small amount of money asked, less than in any other state of the union.

Cigarettes, for instance, instead of the dinky little pipes that used to be all the rage in Pekin and Chefoo. Of all tVio pioraroffAa firrmrtfld from the United States in 1026, China took nearly three-fourths. Not only that: they're starting their own factories and buying the leaf. v-c He Should Try GrowingTt! "The price of cotton is determined in New York, and goes up when you have sold and goes down when you have bought," says a contributor to Mixed Goods. "A buyer was sent to New York to watch the market. He wired his firm 'Some think it will go up and some think it will go down. I do too. Whatever you do will be wrong, so act at once'." v-c "Of all f odors thai support civilized peoples, soil fertility?the gauge set up by Nature?is the one by which their perpetuity is measured."? Exchange v-c One of those inquisitive chaps who are always chirping useless facts about immaterial things has it all figured out that the greatgrand pappiea of the Mound Builders, who had left before the Indians came, first burned tobacco as incense and liked its aroma so much that they said "Why not?" and made stone pipes to smoke it in. He's dug into the mounds and found some of the pipes. v-c? And V-C Puts It There In 1620, when 55,000 pounds of good Virginia leaf was the world's crop, tobacco brought 54 cents a pound. But just 19 years later the crop had grown to 1,500,000 pounds and the price had dropped to 6 rn./\? /i, r Ko/ron loornmo Utrilia.

Progressive farmers are leading me way, and some have already arrived. v-c Fertilizer Cuts Cost "The average cotton grower produces his crop regardless of expense and then tries to boost the market to where he can sell at a profit. This will not work. Since we can not control the price, the only alter- ' native is to reduce the cost of pro- ' duction. This can be done in three ways?by better preparation and cultivation, the use of good seed, and improving the fertility of the soil. I never intend to plant an I acre of cotton to which fertiliser can not be applied. I know it helps to reduce the cost of production."? L. E. R. v-c Before the Civil Was, Virginia led in tobacco production. Then Kentucky took the lead and kept it till 1926. Two years ago North Carolina went out in front. Kentucky comes second, Virginia third, South Carolina fourth, Tennessee fifth, Georgia sixth?according to the 1927 estimates of the U. S.
