TO INCREASE DUES IN
TOBACCO ASSOCIATION.
Growers Who Delay Signing Until
After January Ist Must Pay $7.00
More.
Tobacco growers who wait until
after Jauuary 1 to join the Co
operative Marketing Association
will have to pay a $lO member
ship fee instead of the $3 dues
now being paid, according to a
statement from Raleigh head
quarters of the growers' associa
tion.
With a big majority of tobacco
growers already members of the
association, the statement says
that the expense of signing scat
tered farmers will be greater than
can be met "by as 3 membership
fee, and hence the increase in
dues will be necessary.
Tobacco growers who have de
layed joining the association, or
those who have not been reached
by canvassers, are urged to send
in their signed contracts to county
or State headquarters before Janu
ary 1, if they wish to save $7. on
their dues, Contracts signed after
January 1, 1922, must be accom
panied by $lO membership fees.
A whirlwind campaign will be
conducted next week as a wind-up
of canvass for members. Four
prominent speakers will address
inass-meetings at different points.
One of the meetings will be at
Durham at 1 p. m., Dec. 28, and
auother at Winston-Salem at 1 p.
in., Dec. 29. These are the nearest
epeaking points to Alamance.

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNED
SINE DIE MONDAY NIGHT.
The Municipal Finance and Educa
tion Bills, Special Objects of the
Extra, Passed Among the Last-
Some Others Passed And Some
Killed.
(By MaxwellGorman.
Raleigh, Doc. 21.—The Legisla
ture has adjourned after a special
session of two weeks, that should
have ended a week ago, and the
lawmakers have all gone home: —
some of them never to return to
Raleigh as members of the Gener
al Assembly.
The House proved to be the
mostserviceable aud conservative
bod}' of the two branches of this
Legislature and prevented the
puttiug on the statute books of
several bad measures which the
Senate pissed aud endeavored to
place .there. Among these may
be mentioned the following, and
some others.that could be dug up
if we were disposed to go into
more minute details:
Senate bill by Burgwyn of
Northampton reducing the tax
exemption from S3OO to SSO
(amended to ma ice it $100); and
Senate bill of Long of Halifax
| changing the present eviction law,
|so a landlord might dispossess a
! tenant from factory or other resi
lience or fafrn land by giving
| bond during appeal from magis
trate's court. The present law
permits the tenant to remain in
possession pending appeal by giv
ing bond;and Senate bill by Dun
lap of Anson to repeal the law
providing for a penalty for the
non-paymeut of taxes.
I The Burgwyn bill got by iu the
Senate (as it did last wiuter) by
I the skin of its teeth and, as was
! the case last session, the House
killed it by a large majority.
The Long eviction bill had an
equally hard time getting through
the Senate (with Varser of Rob
eson, Taylor of Wayne and other
able senators lighting it) aud met
a most iguomiuious death in the
the committee uii -
imously voted to "pat it to sleep."
The Dunlop bill was killed in the
House last Saturday by Father
Doughton, by the narrow margin
of one vote.
'No Constitutional Convention Yet.
The effort to revive the Stubbs
bill to submit to the fteople at the
next election (Noveiwber, 15J22,)
the question of holding a stale
I constitutional couvention ami
electing the delegates thereto all
j over the state, died of inaction.
! Senator Stubbs, one of the oldest
I legislators here in point of ex
perience, Vaw that his measure
could not get the necessary vote,
even iu tho Senate, did not press
l its consideration, although it
I "took its place on the Senate
calendar" a week before adjourn
| ment.
Sentiment in and outside of the
Legislature was overwhelmingly
opposed to injecting the cous'itu
tional convention, including the
election of delegates thereto, into
an off-year campaign. The mat
ter may be revived at the regular
session next winter and made au
issue in the 1924 campaign, pos
sibly, but it is doubtful. The
argument that the constitution
has been amended time and again,
and can still be again ameuded
whenever necessary,- without the
holding of a convention, appear
ed to work with the Legislature.
drat Object 14(1 Work Done.
The municipal finance uieasftre,
which was the chief cause for call
lug the "Extry" here, aud the
sctiool legislation equally urgent,
got through as the last «ork done.
Because of new hitches iu these
bills both branches of the Legis
lature were kept in session two
days longer than would otherwise
have been necessary.
After being doctored and the
bones set and reset several times,
both the municipal finance- act
and the bill validating all levies
of taxes made by the counties this
year for school purposes, requir
ing the same levies next year as a
prerequisite for pariicipa'ion iu
Mtestste equalization fuud aud
making a tax of 39 cents the flat
requirement for such participa
tion, were both received from the
House Saturday and were each
given their two additioual read
ings Monday and Monday night—
or,strictly speaking, Tuesday morn
.pg AocoruiiiK to the moved-ap
legislative clock,
So the ei ties and towns, ina£ now
find Wall Street and other inves
tors willing to buy their munici
pal bonds, and the schools .and
teachers will be properly provided
for till the next Legislature meets
at least. * •
Electric Chair Stay*.
The attempt to agaiu start legal
methods to abolish the death pen
alty in North Carolina met with
such strong opposition that it
never got very far with the legis
lators this session— much for the
Name reasons which have blocked
the several previous efforts in past
years.
The much mooted state pardon
board froze to death in the same
atmosphere, the Qovernor and
rnqst of the influential legislators
opposing the creation of snch a
board.
The attempt to abolish the pri
macy, "except for county officer*,!'
alHo died of maluutritiou.
And Now—Chrlstnsasi
Christmas-eve week is here
and Christmas day is so near at
haud that we are all laying aside
business and other cares to enjoy
the festive season that accompan
ies the celebration of the anni
versary of the natai day of our
Savior. Leo us all try and be
happy— aud remember there is no
surer way to experience happiness
your self than by making some
Other person happy.
And so "Llewxam" wishes
every reader of these "Raleigh
Letters" the happiest Christmas
of all those gone before —with
many "happy returns" in store
for you!
