VOL. XLVII
Legislature Fixing
For the Closing.
$5,745,000 FOR STATE INSTITU
TIONS—GOOD ROADS LAW '
ENACTED. ,
Walter Murphy Looms for Congress
man-at-Large.
(By Maxwell Gorman.)
Raleigh, March I.—By the mid
dle of next week the 1921 session
of the General Assembly will
have passed into history. It is too
early to Jadge its work fairly.
That will be done later in the
cool dispassionate manner of a
critical review of some things
done and others omitted.
At this writing it appears that
• the House is a lap ahead of the
Senate. Representative Dough
ton,'of Allegheny, father of the
House, and the man who has done
more valuable legislative work
for North Carolina than any
other man in the State, tells us
he feels sure the House can elean
up Tnesday, March Bth.
Senate Leader Yarser, of Rob
eson, has announced to Senators
that they must come to an agree
ment early this week to stop all
new Legislation, as the Senate
will be. compelled to remain in
session two or three days next
week to complete the work al
ready in hapd.
Appropriation!. ' v '
The most interest is felt here
today in the two-year mainten
ance and buying program con
tained in thO report of the com
mittee on appropriations to the
Senate, justsubmitted, and which
will call for prompt action this
- The bill is only three
quarters of a million dollars in
excess of the budget commission's
recommendations, already refer
red to, and a bond issue of $5,
745.000 is provided for, to be
issued half in 1921 and half in
1922. There will be a fight over
the bill by the educational com
mission.
The widest departure from the
recommendation of the budget
committee came in the appropria
tion for the State Hospital, neces
sitated by reason of the repeal of
the act authorizing the transfer
of the State Prison building to the
State Hospital. The State Hos
pital, nnder the measure, is to get
$550,000 to construct and equip
buildings to take care of 575 pa
tients, in lieu of the $300,000
authorized for use in the conver
sion of the State Prison into a
hospital in addition to the amount
recommended by the budget com
mission.
The State Hospital for the In
sane at Goldsboro, the State
School for the Deaf atMorganton,
the State School for the Blind at
Raleigh, the University of North
Carolina, the East Carolina
Teacher Training School at Green
ville, all receive the identioal pro
portion of the fund recommended
by the budget commission. The
same is trne of the negro normal
schools and the negro reformatory
for boys. Other institutions get
slight increases.
Improvement Appropriation!.
The permanent improvement
appropriations for the several in
stitutions carried in the bill as
against the amounts recommend
ed by the budget commission
follow:
State Hospital for the Insane,
Morganton, $150,000 against SIQO,-
000.
State Hospital for the Insane,
Goldsboro, $300,000 against $300,-

es, Elizabeth City, Colored Nor
mal School, Fayetteville, and
Slater Colored Normal School.

Negro Reformatory for boys,
$25,000 against $25,000.
Total, $5,745,000 against 84,
995,000.
The bill appropriates to insti
tutions for which no recommend
ation was made by the budget
Commission as follows:
' North Carolina Orthopaedic
Hospital, SIOO,OOO.
The complete Agricultural De
partment building, $75,000.
Confederate Soldiers' , Home,
$30,000.
/ Negro A. and T. College, slls,
000.
The bonds authorized will be
five-per cent, forty-years, non
taxable bonds in denominations
of SI,OOO and SSOO, in the determ
inations of the State Treasury,
not to be sold below par.
Movie Picture Cenorshlp
The war over movifl pictures
has been prolonged, and the sub
ject will consume some more time
this week—with the House com
mitted to an unfavorable report
(that is, against State censors)
the Senate with a majority of the
committee the other way. It is
predicted that, like the work
men's compensation law wrangle,
the legislature may adjourn with
out having enactbd a law oiv,
either subject.
Congressmen-at-Large
One is hearing expressions can -
cerning the extra man from North
Carolina in the Congress to be
elected next year. Ex-Speaker
Walter Murphy, of Salisbury,
who has served some dozen or so
terms In the General Assembly, is
regarded as among the first of men
equipped for legislative work and
he would make a serviceable Con
gressman his friends all agree.
He is a fine fellow personally,
and if a Congressman-at-large is
to be named, Walter Murphy will
be strongly supported for the
nomination.
Enactment Good Roada Law.
Ratification of the big piece of
legislation, the road law, with its
$50,000,000 bond provision, will
be effected early this week, the
Senate having passed tho House
bill Saturday night aud sent it
back to the House for concurrence
in two small amendments. A con
ference will early and quickly ad
just the slight differences.
The only amendment that is
going to cause the proponents of
the bill any trouble is that about
the method of collecting the gaso
line tax. The eastern people
want the measure so worded that
it will be possible for the fisher
meu and other users of gasoline
in motor boats, sawmills, cotton
gins, and peanut pickers not to
have to pay the tax. The pro
ponents think they have the gen
eral provision in the bill, but will
probably make some modification'
or explanatory amend men ts to*
provide for the methods for these
users to get the rebate of oue cent
the gallon.
A bill was adopted after a run
ning debate between Senator Var
serand the opponents of the bill.
Varser had the figures and was
able to tell the various counties
how much money they couljl get
out of the bill for roads in their
particular counties.
. Penitentiary BUI
\The bill repealing the 1919 law
requiring the State Prison to
move out of the penitentiary
building and turn it over to the
insane asylum, passed without a
dissenting vote. Porvision for
increased care of insane to num
ber of some 1,000 is made through
another measure.
GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. MARCH 3, 1921
CHAMP CLARK DEAD.
Champ Clark died in Washing
ton yesterday in his seventy-first
year and within two days of his
retirement from the House of Rep
resentatives after a service of 26
years.
Death was due to an attack of
pleurisy and a complication of
diseases incident to his advanced
age. Up to ten days ago, how
ever, when he developi-d a severe
cold, Mr. Clark had shared active
ly in proceedings of the House as
Democratic leader.
To his last conscious moments
the former Speaker's mind was
engrossed with memories of' his
long legislative career. Just be
fore lie lapsed into final uncon
sciousness yesterday those at his
bedside heard him whisper, "The
question is on the adoption of the
conference rfeport."
At Mr. Clark's bedside when
the end came were Mrs. Clark,
their son, Bennett Clark, and their
daughter, Mrs. James M. Thom
son of .New Orleans. Arrange
ments for the funeral have not
been completed, but the body
probably will be sent to the old
home in Bowling Greea, Missouri,
where the former Speaker had ex
pected to retire after the end of
his congressional service.
Mr. Clark presided over the
House throughout the World
War, relinquishing the Speaker
ship after eight years, when the
Republicans regained- control
last year as a result of their vic
tories in .the 1918 congressional
elections. He then
as Democratic leader in the House.
During the present session it
was apparent that the former
Speaker's health was failing. He
walked slowly, with a dragging
step. While he usually was on
the floor and followed proceed
ings closely, he rarely euyaged in
debatfe. On one or two occasions,
however, he spoke at some lt ugili
on important questions.
Close friends believe his death
was hastened by the death a
year ago of his only graudchild,
tCfitnp Clark Thomson, three
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.,,
James M. Thomson. lie was
passionately fond of his grandson,
and associates say that after the
child's death they noticed a per
ceptible change in hi* condition,
which in the spring of 11)20 alarm
ed his family.
Smallpox Prevalent
County Health Officer, Dr. W. R.
Goley, has received the following
letter from the Health Department
in Raleigh and it is about a matter
in which all the people are con
cerned :
Smallpox is very prevalent. Re
member to notify your schools when
it is reported, and that out of towns
10 notices are to he posted in the
community.
To give you an iflea that may help
in educating the people, I quote
from a letter of Dr. L. J. Smith,
Health Officer, Wilson, N. C.
"f take or mail some bulletins,
202, to the teacher, an'! tell her she
may use them as reading lessons.
She is to explain to the cbddren how
the disease used # to kill so many be
fore we knew of vaccination and how
glad the people were when Dr. Jen
ner discovered this means to prevent
Bmallpox. It is made plaiu that by
people not being vaccinated until
they get a 'take' the world would be
as it was 100 years ago. The bul
letin is then sent by the oldest child
to the home for the parents to read,
but it was to be returned tg school.
The returning impresses lis value.
This done until every borne is
reached. I find little trouble vac
cinating when I go to that school,
even in communities which before
were antagonistic. Olten they even
bring the entire family to my office
on Saturdays."
«
These are the piping times of
peace and the shipping board
evidently thought it had to pay
the piper. .
