The Watts Liquor Bill has passed both houses and is now a law. We will publish it in full in our next issue so that our readers may see all of its provisions. The Revenue Bill will be completed this week and then the appropriation bills will come op. Three bills pertaining to Louisburg were introduced this week, viz : The Graded School bill, the Town Exten sion bill, and the bill regarding water works and sewerage. At the caucus last night we learn that N. . Gulley, T. B. Womack and W. B. Rodman were selected as the Code Commissioners. The Legislature will probably ad journ the latter part of next week. This being the last week of the North Carolina General Assembly, the sixty days constitutional limit of the session expires Saturday, and if legislators re mam in session after that they serve without pay. As they are not likely to do this long, practically all legisla tion lor the session will be disposed ot this week, and after one or two days next week devoted to ratification of acts pawed a formal adjournment will be taken. Th trial of Arthur L. Bishop, the drummer who shot and killed Tom Wilson in the latter's home in Char lotte last December, was concluded in Mecklenburg Superior Court on Thurs day of last week and given to the jury that night. The jury did not reach an agreemsjnt until noon Sunday and Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock return ed a verdict of manslaughter. Mon day morning lodge Neal sentenced Bishop to five yean in the penitentiary . . . . xc is understood that his case will not be appealed. E. . CON YE US DEAD. The editor regrets to learn ot the death of his friend Ephraim G. Con yers, who passed away at his home on Saturday last. He had recently moved over into Wake county, to teach. Mr. Cooyers was a most estimable gentle man, and had a host of friends in Franklin who held him in high esteem He was a member of the Baptist church and was a christian. For several years he was Superintendent of Schools 0 this county, and in 1886 was one o the Democratic nominees for the leg islature. By a fusion of Republicans and Independents that year he was defeated by only 26 votes. Ht was popular and the county has lost a good citizen. A WISE PLA5. The Washington Post of Tuesday contains the following: "Alabama Democrats," said Mr. Albert E. Pace, a prominent lawyer of Dothan, in that State, at the Riggs House, "have come to the conclusion that it is the wisest policy to keep ending the same men to the Senate and House. I have no Idea that either of our Senators will have opposition as long as they are physically able W periorm their daties. Senator Pet . I IDS. flNnifa hlQ err mm . U- iZVS:C.rZ.m . :6t V1C "ucu "s jocosely that he is a hundred), bad no Opposition in our legislature a few weeks ago, and when Mr. Morgan's present term is out I think he will have the same experience. "In our Congressional district the people are eminently pleased with the tecord of their Representative, Hon. Henry D. Clayton, and the probability u that he can keep coming to Wash ington as long as he desires to remain In public life. I think the idea is gaining ground all over the South that tt is bad policy to make frequent changes of men elected as national legislators.'' The plan of Alabama is a very wise one, and now that North Carolina has tach a good list of Representatives in both Houses of Congress, her people would do well to follow the example and keep;them there. It is this plan that has enabled the Northern States to "get all that was coming to them." By keeping their Senators and repre sentatives in Congress for a long term of years they have acquired an in fluence which never fails to be felt in il legislative matters especially for their various sections. Dr. RIDDICK'S POSITION. Ycunobvilld, N. C, Feb. 25th 1933 Editor Timsr-This writer was re cently in Raleigh upon the attendence ol the legislature. The Watts bill was under discussion in the Lower House Your readers will remember that this bill does not embrace a large self gov trnment idea with respect of the liquor question. When the vote was itktn representative, Dr. I. G. Riddick! xplaiaed bis vote and in doing so used substantially the following language Gentlemen, I vote No. When I was elected to a seat on this floor I promised myself and that J would, as far as I could, represent their best interests. My people are capable of deermlning the matter themselves. Therefore, I wish to be re corded as having Toted for no measure Or no bilt while a member of this n.n Oral Assembly that would curtail the lib- wuco 01 me; people 01 franklin county This seotietcnt, in my opinion, pres tats the true idea of a democratic peo pie and should appeal to every liberty pving citizen of the state. - - r WASHIfltttOX LETTER. Oar Kermlar Correspondent- Fib. 23RD, 1403. The unfortunate deadlock in the Senate which threatens the success of the Panama Canal, the Cuban treaty and, unless soon broken, will precipi tate an extra session of Congress is finally reaching a point where it occa sions alarm to the republican leaders, aid alarm increased by the President's insistence that he will call an extra session of the Senate if either the Pan asaa or the Cuban treaty fail of ratifi cation. The annoyance ot the repub lican leaders has been recently mani fested by their abuse ot Senator Quay, who is contributing to the filibuster. Mr. Quay, knowing that he repre sents a considerable majority of the Senate, and having subjected to a pro traded filibuster on the Statehood bill, has determined to fight fire with fire and is accordingly filibustering on the Panama treaty. What the end will be it is impossible to predict with cer tainly, although it is known that the republican leaders are contemplating a compromise on the Statehood bill and are prepared te yield, at least to some extent, to the demands of the democrats if by so doiag they can secure the prompt ratification of both treaties. Senator Morgan has thus far coi ducted a most remarkable filibuster oa the Panama treaty. He has spoken over aoo.oeo werds, equal to a verv big book, in his arguments against the convention as framed and still seems as fresh as ever. One evening last week a night session was held with the hope of tiring out the venerable Ala earaian. He spoke for three hours, from 7 to 10 o'clock, when the Senate took a recess until next mernio? Your correspondent happened to leave tne apuoi lust behind Senators Mor gaa and Pettus, who were walking arm in arm, and heard in he former say, "JPettus, what shall we do with the rest of the evening? I'm not tired and it is too early to go to bed. Can yen suggest some way of enjoying our. selves for an hour or two?" When it is realized that Mr. Morgan is 79 and Mr. rettus 8s the hamor of the inci dent is apparent. The House has been devoting its attention to apprpnation bills reeentlv and has passed a number. including the Naval and Fortification bill. Ii is now engaged in debating the Fow. ler ''rubber currency" measure which has for its chief object the turning over to the banks and bankers the virtual control of the monev of the nation. The bill may pass the House, Mr. Fowler says it will, but it cannot pass the Senate. The Naval bill au thonzes the construction of the three sew battle ships, an armoared cruiser, two steel trainina shins and a wooden brig. It also aDerooriates $500.00 for the Secretary oi the Navy to thoroughly investigate the subject of submarine boats and to Darchase such as he deems wise and the annm- priation will permit. It is known that the Lake boat will be thorourhlv in vestigated under this provisios X The bill also authorizes the doubling of the number of midshipmen at Anna polis, a course made necessary by the coming into commission of many new naval vessels. The Anti-anarchy bill has flnalW beea agreed upon by the conferees. As it stands it provides for caoital Danish- ment for any peTsoa who shall kill nr attempt to kill the President or any of his legal successors. Advice cr a. sistauoe to kill any of these will involve being regarded as a nrin. cipal oflfeeder. The advice to kill. or teaching that any officer of any civilized government should be killed will e punished by a fine not exceed 'DsT S,ooe or imprisonment not ex ceeding twenty years or both. It was ibis last provision which Senator Bacon so ably opposed both in the WL BS n senate and m an iaterview minted in these letters a vear iro. ff toota. a year aeo. ed as doubtful if the conference report will be agreed upon by the Senate be cause of the objection of the demo- rats. A final attempt was mirf lat ar..v by the friends of Admiral Schle tn q-. cure for bin the recognitioa of Con gress. A resolution was offrai n ,k- commitee on Naval Affairs providing that he be given the pay and allowances ui b rear an an i mi rn ih. . iut auiivc list. ITae resolution was laid oa the table by i vote of all the rentihlir... . . Mr. Mudd. It is well knn.n ho. ,( .w- resolution could be brought before the House it would be adopted but the will of a majority of the House is defeated by the Naval committee.
