An Interesting dog story is told by
Capt L. L. Joyner. It seems that a
dog was to be shipped from Louisburg
recently to Clarksyille, but through
error the shipper had him shipped
to Chase City. WTiile en route ths
dog broke out of his cage and took
to the country, completing his trip,
to Clarksvllle before stopping. The
crate evidently made Its destination
to Chase City. When the shipper
learned of hlg mistake be called up
the party at Clarksyille the dog was
to go to and told him that he could
get the dog at Chase City and wag sui
prised to learn that ths dog had got
ten loose and made his way to the
correct destination.

l ives Bond Limitation.
) The audience that jammed the hall j
of the House of Representatives ami!
tilled the gallery listened with close
attention, but did Dot applaud aft
I the ovation extended the Governor I
[upon his arrival until near the close I
I of his hour's speech he declared that
there must be a limitation of local
j bond issues. 1
"The practice of calling special
elections and pr>. vidwig for new re
gistration. on short notice, in connect
tion with bond issues and special tax
levies, has, in many instances, result
ed in minority action and in extrava
' gance and unnecessary tax increases,' ;
the Governor declared as applause
broke out over the audience.
Th ere certainly should be some
limitation upon the power of local
authorities to issue bonds or othei |
obligations for current operating ex
penses," he continued admidst further
j applause.

J importance of keeping the Democartic
' platform pledget of devising means
of Improving county government.
: He had discussed taxation in which
he had recommended the appoint
ment of a tax commission to study
the problems of local taxation. He
had discussed the need of regulation
of mobile traffic along the high
ways. in which he omitted reference
tdK State constabulary, and he had
pointed out the need of more Su
perior court judges and the necessity]
of stricter regulation of Are arms
He had advocated a thirty million
dollar bond issue for the next bien
niura for State highways.
"The most important matter before
the General Assembly Is Improvement
of local government," he reiterated
after the outburst of applause.
