MOTHERS' AID MEASURE MOVE IN

Merchants' Association Garnishee Bill
Killed by Propounder.
(BY MAXWELL CiOKMAN.)
Ra'eigh, N. C., Jar. -2; i.— J'li.*
Legislature 111 is week is handling
soiae important, measures, the dis
posal of which calls for rare -judg
ment and cool delibera' ion. Cue
of thps-e is the hill which will bo
taken up by the committee on
Thursday of this week relating to
t>; garnishment, for debt, where
by t tie wages and salaries (as you
pleas''/ of working people and
oarn'TS of all classes will be sub
ject to garnishment for debt to
the extent prescribed. To put a
measure of this kind 011 the law
books will of course first require
the submission and adoption of a
constitutional amendrne.it. Mr.
Turlington of Iredell, who .Mitro
duced the measure, made the em
phatic statement on the floor of |
the House that he was presenting !
it solely because the secretary of
the State Mercharl*' Association,
a Mr. Paul Leonard, had been
pestering him to do so for several
years. That he was utterly op
posed to any such him
self, ihat he would ask the Legis
lature to defeat it, and would ad
vise every other legislator to vote
against the proposition. So it
really does uot appear that the
Legislature will vote to submit
such an amendment to the peo
ple.
Only residents of the Stat"
whose incomes are less than $lO
per week escape the rigors of the
Merchants' Association's proposal.
Heads of families with depend
ents and wives with homesteads
in their own right are includ-d in
the measure and made liable for
garnishment and such other pen
alties as the General Assembly
may enact after the amendment
has been ratified bv the people.
Mothers' All .>ioasuri'.
Anothpr important piece of pro-1
posed legislation this week is the
Mothers' Aid measure, which is
sponsored by the fraternal organ
izations of the State and the State
WeU'aree Department of the State
government, and it is one of the
most needed and deserving oL
them all.
Th'» Mothers' Aid bit' proposes
co-operation between itie State,
aud the several counties in caring
for mothers who are physically
and morally fit but who are
poverty-stricken and have been
deprived of the support of their
h us bauds.
The Senate Committee on Prop
ositions and Grievances has also
r'pyrtf-d favorably a bill which
a »proaches the orphan problem
ir another way by authorizing the
board ©: commissioners of anj"
county to establish nd maintain
a county orphanage. The bill
was ottered by Senator Heath of
Lnion county, where such an in
stitution has been in existence for
two years.

1 "ion ol theStatewi.il be submit led 1
by the Legislature, the committee'
' h iving reported favorably on the.
' proposition to a:' end so as to pro-!
■ vide for a boar of pardons, not
.! eliminating the Governor entirely, |
iovever, and •intended to ma-j
e: lally differ from t"he measure
1 . of similar character which was I
I defeated two years ago. Another!
»' reason for its probable passage is
. j the face ihat, when as, the pres
ent Governor opposed the propo
sition in the last Legisture, he is
now disposed to favor such a legal I
relief to the chief magistrates of)
i the State. Fe\V governors have
suffered a greater strain than Gov-1
eruor Morris jn o:i this score.
| We are not hearing much about
the last-session plan to submit a
call for a new constitutional con- ,
vention in this State. It vas not)
[ insisted on at the eleveuth hour!
I last time because Senator Stubbs, j
| who had charge of the matter, j
| frankly admitted that it was fac-j
! iug overwhelming defeat in the!
Seuate and therefore he refrained 1
from taking the "bill" from its 1
comfortable restiDg place, only to
face the executioner.
Solicitors on Salaries and Other llllls.
Among the other important
measures being acted oil in com
mittees and before the full ses
sions of the Legislature this week
are lue following:
TLe creation of judicial districts
composed of single counties, and
the placing of all solicitors on a
salary basis.
Senators Woodson .and Varsar
offered the solicitors' salary bill
sponsored by the North Carolina j
Bar Association, of which Varsari
is president. The bill places;
solicitors on flat salary of 8^,000,}
to be paid out of the State, with {
the present fees allowed solicitors |
to go to the county school fund,'
after deducting the actual ex
peuses of solicitors in holding
courts. The bill is sponsored in |
the Ilouse by Representatives'
Warren and Connor.
A bill introduced by Senator
Castello'• provides a flat salary of
I s'v"oo lor solitciors with an ad
iditional allowance from fees, the
whole not to exceed $5,1)00, plus
expenses.
• An amendment to the Sams act
of two years ago, offered by the
author, provides that all bonds;
shall be registered with the State'
Auditor befoie they are issued,
instead of within thirty days after
that date.

planes can pass over countries of j

but building of the larger types Is still
forbidden by the rules drawn up at the
conclusion of the war. Airplane lines
developed greutly In Qermany during
the summer and, while many of thein
did not connect with outside lines,
thev did much to keep the interest of

Perhaps the biggest development
was the establishment of the route

considered so Important that It will
be kept up throughout the winter
while many other lines are abandoned.

I j Guilty Conscience f
By EDWARD LEVINE
(£). 1922, Western Newiipaper Union.)
Green had murdered Mulvaney, and
he had to stay In the town a little
while until suspicion died down before
making his getaway.
Not that he felt suspicion was likely
to attach itself to hiin. The two men
were not known to have been anything
j more than acquaintances. But It had
i been a long-standing feud. In fact, it
lmd dated back to the time when they
were both clerks together In the bank
in Bay City, and Green had stolen
twenty thousand dollars In bills.
lie had made his getaway then, as
he expected to do now. Ten years
elapsed before Mulvaney met Oreen in
Klverville, and recognized him.
Mulvaney was employed In a whole

i self living on the brink of a precipice,
lie found .Mulvaney could not be
bought o(T —to stay off. Mulvaney be
lieved that he could work Green to the
limit, and lie had a grudge against him
j because lie had done what he, Mul
vaney, luiil wunted to do and had not
dared to do.
Green hud to kill Mulvaney or dis
appear. He decided that killing Mul
vaney would be easier. He felt con
fident that he could get away with It.
On some pretext he decoyed Mulva
ney to a neighboring town, met him
there, as If by accident, and offered
him a ride home at night. He shot
Mulvaney in a lonely part of the road
end threw the body over a bluff. No
body knew that Green had been away
from Itlverville. He lived alone, his
housekeeper left early, and he had
cleaned his car after returning, and
let his chauffeur see It when he came
to w./rk next-morning.
There seemed no motive for Mul
vaney's murder. He had no enemies,
*o far as was known, and no one
guessed at the past relations between
Mulvaney and Green. Green felt se
cure. Nevertheless he meant to make
his getaway when the hue and cry
died doWn.
lie had planned to give out that he
was going on n month's shooting trip.
At the end of the month ho would be
In Europe, far out of reach of possible
discovery. He had all his plans made,
arid he had sold his securities.
That morning an Inspector had been
questioning him, and It worried Green.
Towles and he had been at logger
heads over a matter of Are protection
for the bank, and Towles bore Green
no good will. Still, Towles plainly did
not suspect him.
It was late afternoon. Suddenly
Green perceived Towles' enr stop at
Ills door. Towles called to a policeman
and pointed toward the house.
Just so men were caught at the last
moment! Unreasoning panic seized
Green. Ho darted thi*ugh the house
Into his garage.
By the time his old housekeeper
opened the door —the old woman was
alow —he could be speeding down the
drive. He could pretend not to hear
If the Inspector shouted to him. He
could make the drive entrance before
Towles started his car. lie leaped In

11. 'i iv lo#'.
A smash, the choking rattle of en
gines, then Towles had Green by the
arm and was picking him out of the
debris.
Green looked Into the face of the
Inspector and threw up the sponge.
"You can tnke me." he'said feebly.
"I did It. I killed Mulvaney. He had
been blackmailing me for months. I
shot him and threw his body over the
biufr."
A singular look came over Towles'
face. "Glad you've come through with
It, Green," he said. "You're the last
nan I'd have suspected."
"What?" gasped Green. "Didn't you
Come for me?"
"Sure I came for yoa," grinned
Towles. "Your house is on flre. I
came tp- tell you."
