Grimes aayai la visiting tha various parts af the BUU thin fall, I hare beea greatly sreTprissd at tha utter Indifference of nrr people to tha eonstntrUonal amend jaaats, and thai? want of information mbotrt them. Ia response to a most Ivrgant need, the General Assembly has awbmitted the four amendments (the lanoat important ones) twice, and still the people do not eeera sufficiently in jtoraated ta inform themselves about then. Several hundred thousand copies tef tha proposed amendments have been MSjfafully distributed, the Press Asso--eiation has endorsed them, most of the newspapers advocate them, and a large 'par cent of the leading men of the State, both Democrats and .Republicans, favor there. At every session of the General As lasmbly, tha public business is clogged by aa avalanche of private and local legislation thst is dumped upon our )aw-makere. Tt ia impossible to give due consideration to it, and near the close there is such a- rush that three fourtlis of tha legislation af tha- Gen eral Assembly is pawed in the last ten days of the session. In this eon fused mass are many of the longest and most important Mils before the Legis lature. This rush makes it impossible for the Legislature to be informed as If yoo want to hear a true reproduction of tha Volee and soul of the greatest artists of the world we Invite you to visit oar Vietrols department.

Tha coat of enrollment is greatly in creased, much all-night work is en tailed, evea with extra proof readers and extra help. Tha legislative committee on enrolled bills, and other Senators snd Kepre sentatlvea eannot devote time to ex amine these bills without . neglecting their duties on the floor and they find it a physical impossibility to read over those laws before ratification. Home times important bills fail tn get proper readings aa required by the constitu tion, causing loss and annoyance. Fre quently publie measures are lost for want of time to consider them. The Legislature is powerless to protect it self and has in its experience and wis dom aaked a change in the constitution. Tha constitutions! amendments would probably dispense with three-fourths of or legislation, sad many- matters con suming the time of the General As sembly would he attended to under general laws by tha various depart ments, courts, county commissioners, and at the same time, permit the peo ple themselves to pass upon most of their local questions. The present eon ititutional amendments are second only in importance to the amendment of 1900. The first amendment prohibits the passage by the. General Assembly of local, private and special arts relative to inferior courts, appointing justices of the peace, health, sanitation, abate inent of nuisances, changing names of eities, towns and townships, highways, TO CONSERVE YOUR HEALTH Help your Stomach, Liver and Bowels to perform their functions regularly TRY UjOSTETTER'S JU Stomach Bittsrs .A.

Tha aeeoad aaaeadmeat providing for emergency judges would nnquestlonably give speedier aad eheapor justice t. the peopl of the Btate. The third amendment provides that all corporations should b. chartered un der general tawa, except those Institu tions under tho control of tha State. This Wk ill cut out the rush to the Legis lature for special privileges for cor porations aad should by all means be JMMWed. " The fourth amendment provides by general laws fur the organization of citiee, towns, and Incorporated villages, in J to restrict thrir power of taxation, -seeasmeat, borrowing money, contract ng debts, And loaning th-ir credit, so tu to jrevent afn-s in aaM-uiiuetii and in contracting debts Ly such rouBic-ipa! corporations. This would give safe and uniform legislation relative to cities, etc won'. J safeguard taxation aud at the same tim leave it to tho people of the cities and towns to determine the - rules of gov ernment. To illustrate the amount of 'fgialation relating t cities and towns n examination of the laws will show hat ia 1911 'the General Assembly ased 282 such acts. In 1813 it panned '2i, and ia 113 passed 241 laws rela he to eities and towns. Some of thcs.a icts amount to as much ts 20DOO or nore words. To show how' burdensome Hcs become the amount of local and -inhlie local legislation imposed up- n the General Assembly is shows by a ,'eviow of the legislation in the past fe years. lit TST3, " fit 1 la w - were pa -,! relating to counties ithis includes Honda, roads, game, fish, etc' In 11)13.

Tha adoption of these amendments will relieve this condition in' the fu ture and permit the meuiLers of the General Assembly to devote much of their time to pu'die business and srivc hotter thought to the lnrger uueMion that vitally concern the interests of our people. It. would give the eople nt home an ojiport unity to pas upon all jant!nns. arerting their counties and townsln nnd would euable the resident of the towns of the State to have a . rouger 'oiee in mtiniciital irovernitient. In my judgment these amendments are second in importance to no 0,11c tion th; t has come before the peoplc if North Carolina in the past ffteea ears. Their adoption is neresarr to the welfare of the State. J. BRYAN r;iUMKf. Iialeigh, Nov. 3, 101. The polls sra open from 6:41 to .V13 tc early. ANOTHER I.EVOIR REPI BI.K AN . ( OMES OUT FOR WILSON Kinston, Nov. 6. -There is ennsterna Uon tn the local Ueptibliean ranks today is the result of an announcement by Mbert Miller, prominent and for 4'1 vears a stsuneh Republican, that he has transferred his allegiance unequivocally to Wilson snd the Democratic ticket. Mr. Miller gave aa his reasons for a hang of faith that he its "a southern msn with southern sympathies, and that the President has done more for the South than sny other President, Demo Tt or Republican; that he has done more for the masses of the people of the I'nited States thsa any other Presi ient of modern times." Miller cites the rural eredlts bill and the federal reserve act aa particular specimens of Wilson's interest ia the plain people of the na tion. Hi nee his majority Max. Miller has been active in leadership in the Re publican party and held office for many years under the O. O. P. regime. He wss postmaster at a rural office under (arfleld and afterwards at IaGrange. He was once coroner of Lenor countv. and has held several small offices. lie is the second influentisl Republican ia the county to turn to Democracy in 10 lays, rrank tales, a former power in Edgreombs now living here, having hanged lata ia October. ANOTHER SHIPMENT GENUINE r.lAR HOF SHUTS SIZES 14, 16, 18, 20 SPECIAL .7 TPAVIslR) J Kggjmiju j a FunmsiiiiiG COHPAHY MASONIC TEMPLE Tire Guarantee vs. Tire Mileage RECEIVING an ironclad guarantee on the tire you purchase can have but one meaning neceoaryjo give the guarantee in order to ull the ftre. " " But thereis another factor in such purchasing more vital to you even than the guarantee. When you are given a definite guarantee you pay a higher price for the tire in order to insure the tire manufacturer against any adjustments he may have to make. In other words, by insisting on a mileage guaran tee, you pay the repair bills of the careless driver. The extra price Goodyear would have to charge if they gave you a guarantee, has been put back into the tire itself in extra quality and finer con struction. When you buy a Goodyear Tire your money pays for your tire only not the manufacturer's insur ance against tire abuse You will find, as a matter of record, that Goodyear Tires are actually giving longer mileage and lower mileage cost than any of the tires carrying definite guarantees.
