Subscribe to The franklin Tinea LEGISLATURE TO CONVENE AUGUST 7TH Council of State Sustains Gov ernor Chief Purpose of Extra Session Is to Receive Report of Ship and Water Transportation Commission and to Act on Its Recommendations, Re cently Made Public ? Sesgloh Is E-'? pected to Last the I'snal Twenty Days, Though the Main Purpose of Call May Be Accomplished In Less Time? Program Includes Referen dum at November Election. Raleigh, June 16. ? Acting with una nimous approval of the council of state Governor Morrison today called an extraordinary session or the general ] assembly to be convened Thursday, August 7. The chief purpose of the ses sion will be to receive the report of the ship and water transportation commission and to act on its recom mendations for an $8,500,000 invest ment in a port and water cpmmerce development program. While that business can be handled within a few d^ys it is. expected the legislature will follow the precedent of other extra sessions and remain here 20 days. The governor this morning made formal request of the council of state for authority to Issue the call. All members were present and they were unanimous in their agreement, j One member of the council was told by an opponent of the port develop ment program that he could make himself the "biggest man in the state by bucking the governor on this thing." He declined the honor, however. ' The Governor's Program The plan to be followed by the governor in the fight before the ses sion for the port program was an | nounced several days ago. He will ask that the legislature enact the | necessary legislative machinery to cover the recommendations ot the ship commission and to leave to the voters to determine in the general election if it shall become operative Several legislators have voiced op position to the referendum and it is not improbable that they may fight on the floor of the general assem bly for final action by the body. Twenty, days in August will knock many summer vacations off tho calen dar, but special sessions In July or August are not unique and it will not be the first time many members of tho present assembly have per spired through three weeks In the capital city. The governor had de cided on the latter part of July for convening the session but Inquiry this morning revealed that the con tractors repairing the capital build ing cannot get the legislative cham bers Into shape for the meeting be fore the first week In August. The contractors, Incidentally, have been working on the capltol since last Oc tober or November. I, Oil if Inreslgatlon The recommendations ot the ship and water transportation commis sion, which will form the basis ot the port development program ex pected to be Inaugurated by the special session, are the result ot 15 months Investigation Into the feasi bility ot an undertaking by the state to develop North Carolina ports and encouraging commerce on the state's waterways. At the 1923 session ot the general assembly the governor recommend ed an aproprlation ot 12,000,000 tor the establishment of state owned terminals, and the opermtlon of state owned ships. He proposed that the authority be given but that It should not be used unless an Investi gation disclosed that the plan he submitted would be feasible and practical. After a vigorous fight, the general assembly voted to In vestigate before bestowing authority and It created the ship and water transportation commission and pro vided $26,000 for the Inquiry. The report of the commission ad vocated a program more far-reach ing than that originally proposed by the governor. At the time the 1923 session arranged for the Investiga tion It was understood that should the commission submit a favorable report a special session would be called to consider Its findings. The report of the commission was made May 23, 1924. This report after going at some length Into the freight rate situation In North Carolina, the terminal situation, the availability of ports, recommended: (1) That the general assembly create a port commission with full authority to seleoct sites and con struct terminals. (2) That the commission be au thorised to. purchase and operate ships If private shipping proved In adequate and that $1,500,000 additional be provided for this. (4) That the state acquire the Cape rear and Yadkin Vdley rail road or some other trunk Tine from the coastal section of the state con necting with the middle west A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE f At Cedar Rock Baptist Church Saturday, Jane 11th, When Mis* Mary Kay Stalllngs Became the BrMe of Mr. Eugene Wilson A beautiful marriage, charming in tts simplicity, was solemnized at noon on Saturday, June 14th, in Cedar Rock Baptist church, near Loulsburg. when Miss Mary Ray Stalllngs became the bride of Mr. Eugene Wilson, of l.,0'ii3 burg.

THE CHAUTAUQUA la the following editorial the Nashville Graphic not only expresses the opinion of its own people, but that of many others in the State: It la to be regretted that those pub lic-spirited citizens or Nashville who stood sponsor for and guaranteed the large amount for the Chautauqua held in this city some days ago sustained no little financial loss i nthe undertak ing; which is only a repetition of the history of the Chautauqua business In this and other small towns tor the past several years. It will continue to be so and it is about time tor local ! people to become impressed with this ' fact. If Nashville or vicinity has ever received any real benetlt from the Chautauqua no one has been able to discover. On the contrary, the Chau tauqua has succeeded in pulling their stunt at an expense far out of propor tion to their real merit to any com munity. They will not go to any town or community without an exhorbltant guarantee, which smacks of "all turkey for the Chautauqua" and it Is safe to say that were'it not for this guaran tee and the Chautauqua had to face the theatrical world on Its own merit, ninety days would put the whole bu siness on the blink. Of course, there is some merit to the renditions, their performances are clean, etc., and the stereotyped lectures are sometimes the equal of- the efforts put forth by those men who weekly and on every Sunday proclaim from their pulptta the richest gems of thought and pur est code of morals to be found la tike Book of Books, and pour their souls Into impressing these great truths ? guide to the higher lit*. Still there remains the fact, under strew* of the pleadings; usually of SOMA very pleasant and versatile lady who knows her business, people atfe swayed to put their names on the dot ted line when they are soothed with the Idea of being progressive and public-spirited, and thus guarantee to pay the Chautauqua with! a, three days several hundred dollars tit hartl cash, furnish building, lights and all accessories, do all the ticket trilUg. boosting, etc., and work their Mao4s to a finish In trying to put the thlajp across. If the Chautauqua cast go ta a town on its own mertt; If It eairi stand on its own feet then the eor> V unity should not be made ? crutch by reeaou of a guarantee. This la Jfegi opinion of many of the very beat jflh pere In the State now cryta* ?W against this
