P. ,A convention which will.be held in A8heville the week of May 31st: It Is expected that at least five thousand visitors will- be present '.on the above occasion.. .Thirty-three States will be represented. The rail roads comprising the Southeastern Passenger Association will give a rate of . one fare for the round trip, ex tending the time limit for thirty days In order that the visitors may remain in Asheville or, visit other sections of this State. , , "The convention .work, has been launched, and the .different commit tees appointed, and the entertainment will consist of a trip to Lake Toxa way. which is on'e df the moat delight ful spots to be visited anywhere; a trip to- Biltmore over the Vanderbilt estate, where an early breakfast will be served complimentary to the dele gates and their friends by Dr.j C. A Schenck. manager of the estate, also a trip to Overlook mountain, the high est point in Western North Carolina. The ladies will be entertained with card. partiessand dancing at the 'Bat tery Park Hotel, which will be head quarters; also automobile and carriage drives over, the city. .. "It is with pleasure : that It Is an nounced that - Governor - Kitchln ' has accepted an . Invitation to be present and 'deliver, on behalf of the State, the address of welcome. The State convention will be' held In Charlotte on April 23rd, at 11 a. m,. in the as sembly room of the Selwyn Hotel. Re ports of the. State president.

"You may say that one' has rto con ception what a .National T. P. , Ai con vention means, and in addition to the regular delegates fleeted in North Carolina there will be a large follow ing .of members in attendance upon the national convention.' as it will be held at the most delightful season of the. year, and at a time before the usual summer visitors gather. ' , "In reply to the numerous ques tioned asked me about the Barringer mileage book bill you may say that while a majority of , traveling ' men would prefer mileage books handled by the conductors In order that they may save time in checking baggage and hoarding trains, ' the greatest ob jection. In which weJtare, I think. Is the regular fare charged on entering the train, without an exchange ticket. and. additional fifteen cents- which is required to be collected by the con ductors. Again, should a passenger on arrival at Durham from Greens boro should wishf tow continue passage to Raleigh the conductor would, re quire him to pay the regular fare of two and a half c$nts per mile in ad dition to the fifteen cents charged for not securing a ticket. This, the trav eling man. and I voice the sentiment of the majority. Is unfair and un 1ust, and while personally speaking. I would prefer an Ihterchanaeable mileage book good over all roads at two cents per mile which wowld be accepted In checking baggage and handled by the railroad conductor for passage. a , "In conclusion let me sayi that I do not know of an organization who has been asked to. endorse this bill. no'1 before the General Assembly, and as Uje traveling man has always been reasonable in asking concessions from the railroad company, they realize that it does not always pay to be antagonis tic, as the conditions-could he worse."

But th President Pro Tern would not be Gov ernor any more than he had been Lieutenant-Governor, or any more than the Lieutenant-Governor , had been Governor. He would have been elected to neither office, - and v would only discharge the dutiea, perform the acts of the office, until a new Gover nor 'or Lieutenant-Governor jBhould hare been elected and qualified. 'But while the , discussion is interesting is aot probable that in times of peace any such Contingency? will ever arise, : Attorney-General Bickett's opinion written at the request pf the .Secretary or state, is as-followsr-':? ..i-if -jt;. j "You-'submit -the question aa to whether os not a Senator under thirty years of age is eligible to tha office of speaker; Pro. Tempore of the Sen ate,.',:9tK-f i-uic nfv j-r- . The Constitution. Article t. Section 29, providesi ,!The Senate shall choose Itather' oTflcera and also a Speaker Pro , Tempore , in -r the. absence rof ? the Meutenant-uovernor. or when he shall exercise the office of Governor. ; "Section 23 provides-. 'All bUls and resolutions of a. legislative nature shall be. read three times in each house before; they -pass Into laws, and shall be signed - by the presiding "Officers of botlf houses." r-f - vt- ' "Article S, Section- 2; provides that no person shall he eligible as Governor Unless he shall have attained the acre of thirty years, and Section 12 provides mat wnen th-t LJeutensnt-Governor shall -be -unable ;to- preside over the senate; the senators 'shall elect on of their own members of their body. ana tne -powers, doties and errrolu ments of the office shall devolve upon him whenever the Lieutenant-Governor shall, for any reason, be prevented irom aiscnarging tne dunes or -such Office, as above provided, and he shall continue to act until such disabilities are removed and until a new Governor or Lieutenant-Governor, shall haye peen eleeted and qualified. :"Whenever..during the recess of the General Assembly it shall be necessary ror the President of: the Senate to administer the government, the Secre tary, of State shall convene the Sen ate that they mayt elect such presi dent.. , . ... ; rit is my opinion that,b'y virtue of tnese provisions or the , constitution, any senator is eligible to the office of speaker Pro Tern, and that hills signed by him will be as valid as those signed by the Lieutenant-Governor. "I do not think that the possibility that" such Speaker, may some day be called upon to exercise the ? office of Governor or Lieutenant-Governor n ny way uisquaunes mm to act i as -speaker pro Tern. Indeed, it is by no means certain that,, under Section 12. a Senator though. ' under thirty years of age, would be disqualified to perform the duties of acting Governor. It 'will be observed that the President of the Senate is never made-Governor or Lieutenant-Governor, but. there simply devolves upon him the duty so to act as Governor until a new Gov ernor or Lieutenant-Governor ahall be elected and qualified. - :- ."Furthermore, If for any reason the President .of the Senate should be dis qualified to act as Governor, then the Senate can be called into extra ses sion by : the Secretary of State and it would proceed to elect President of the Senate over thirty years of -age, if Section 2 of Article annlleri tni tne president of the Senate acting as uovernor. . 1 . - ' f ;s - ' j The Senate Judiciary Commlttee'will this ".morning report favorably to the senate tne Nimocks substitute for the Manning- standard bill of laillnr hiii The two main features of the biff are: me negotiability of order bills of lad I nr. and It prevents' the nlea of eston. pel where the bill of lading has been signed by the agent of the carrier, tra cer tne nresent law, as held by several recent supreme court decision. . . tha agent ot a common crrtp can Issue a bill of lading for goods purporting to nve oeen receiveo Dy the common carrier, and the carrier is afterwards permitted to . show that in fact the goods were never received and thereby "tape uaouny. tne : - bank whi"h has negotiated the bill -of -lading must suffer the loss.
