Mr. Sawyer did not do this, but according to Mr. Shepherd, indicated 'that he did not Intend to press the" matter of extension further. Wherein Is Probably A Story. The opposition coming from rest dents of Cameron Park, the territory the bill contemplates including in the corporate limita of Baleigb, expects to stand pat but those who favor being moved in the eity not only expect to carry the fight to the floor but, If they succeed , In, getting it there, nrge an amendment to the bill insuring them suffrage in the 1619 municipal election. Advocates of. the extension think the question of giving them the ballot is the one thing that baa weakened the fight fori extension among Ralelghltee. They insist upon an opportunity to east a ballot for good government at the May primary' and are bold cnougn to say i that they believe the fear of their suffrage has tempered the original pro ponents of the measure. The House made much progress yes- ttima-tha calendar flea r of local bills. It passed on final reading the -revenue bill after adopting an amendment allowing the State to ex empt bliad people and Confederate vcf erana from paying the peddler'a prtvl lege tax.

The amendment excludes Inne eent purchasers prior to the ratification of the bill. . , An unsuccessful effort was made yes terday to take the bill requiring rail roads to employ only trainmen and yard .workers who can read and write from the uafavorable calendar. Williams, of Cabarrus, thought the "Tutl dad some merit in it but J. Frank Ray regarded it aa n serious mistake. The lower branch also refused to pass n joint resolution, introduced In the Sea ate by Seaator Cooper, urging Congress to pass the pending bill providing for preparation of cut over lands for re turninr soldiers.

This would place it under the control of the insurance commissioner nad provides that money shall be paid out to firemen who may be injured for the time they lose, to dependents of those killed by accidents and as pensions to any firemen who may have served for n period of -tea years ia order that he may never be forced to go to an almshouse. The law is designed to regulate the funds now ia the heads of the North Carolina Firemea'a Association, which, it ia claimed, are amply- sufficient, if they were properly distributed. Senator Scales' anrbadmcat would provide for the distribution of the funds. Senator Scales likewise offers n bill to change the existing law regarding insuraneo companies so that to aeeure exemption from certain license taxes, it shall be auXficient for them to show that they are home companies instead of having to invest three-fourths of their trust funds ia North Carolina se curities, aa under ths existing law.

SUFFRAGE BILLS WILL BE TAKEN UP Mr. H. S. Ward Scheduled To Meet All Comers at Hearing; Tuesday Night Suffrage bills of high aad low de gree are to be taken np at joint meeting of the Buff rage eonrmitteen of the Senate and Eons in the Senate chamber Tuesday night at S o'clock. The equal Suffrage League of North Carolina has come out for municipal suffrage for women nnd doubtless the bills providing for this will receive the most consideration.

Waid.,ject;ntly brought into the lime light as n likely eandidateTosf "Con gress, that he will be on hand So op pose any and all kinds 91 equal suf frage, and in fact it is stated that Ms. Ward would likely make the principal I speech at the hearing against the whole movement to give women the right to vote. National gaff rage Soon. Congress is expected to be called in extra session during the early summer to ratify treaties and at that tune the suffragista are confident that the pro nosed amendment to the Federal Con stitution will be adopted. Ia view of this, it is ant considered worth whilo to attempt to get aa amendment to the State constitution, which could not be viited on until the next general elec tion ia 1920. It is true that primary suffrage eould be put into effect by statute, but there are aumeroua objections to this, and hence the women have decided to ruin their fight for municipal suffrage, Aaother Way Open. The last section of Article 7 of the State Constitution, which relates solely to municipal corporations, provides that the Geaeral Assembly shall have full power by statute to modify, change or abrogate sny and all of-thn pro. visions of the article and substitute othera ia their places, except sections 7, 9 aad 13. The reetioas eieepted relate eielusive' ly to tales, the seventh section pro viding that no eounty, city, town or other municipal corporation shall con tract any debt, pledge its faith' or loan ita credit except for necessary expenses unless by a vote of the majority of the qualified voters. Section 9 provide that all taxes levied shall be uniform aad ad valorem upon all property, while section 13 provides that no taxes shall be collected in aid of or ia sup port of the rebellion. Coalda't Vote Oa Taxes. The proposed statute would give women the right to rote for sll offi cers of cities, villages and towna and upon all questions except those relat leg to taxes. It la further required that they ahall be able Jo read and write the constitution., t The measure has been introduced In both the nouse nnd the Senate, . Ia view of the rapid crystallizing of senti ment ia fsvor of suffrage in North Carolina, it is believed that thia meas ure haa aa excellent chance to be passed, though tunny of the legislators are committed to the idea that it should be submitted to the people for do eisioa.

BAUGASS TALKS " OF COUNTY'S WORK Ashe Is Chiefly Interested in Roads Legislation Now, He Says Mr. W. R. Baugass, of Jefferson, member of Ashe county local board, ar rived in Raleigh in timo to bear west ern North Carolina counties rigorously defended front ths intimated charge of dereliction in the war. There .never haa been more than thirty deserters ia Ashe, according to Mr. Baugaat, and nil of these tave aix have either been in duced peaceably to return to the serv ice or have been apprehended by the officers of tho law. And this is out of n total registration of more thai four thousand. "You eaa aay that Ashe eouaty is very near if not at the bead of the list of counties in North Carolina oa tho honor roll for loyalty in answering the call for the nation at war," said Mr. Baugass. He was United State commissioner at Jefferson when Adjutant General Young and Governor Bickett went to Ashe county upon representation that n number of deserter were hidden nway In the hills defying arrest and breath ing out threat against their neighbors. ' What Broaght NotorMy. The shooting scrape between deserters and civilians who attempted to arrest them undoubtedly waa the cause for much of the notoriety that Ashe re ceived. Mr. Baugas himself waa re sponsible for bringing in the first Ac- serter, Green Ham, the boy who met Governor Bickett at Jefferson and who carried bark to his pals ia the kills the word that they would not be molested if they came in peaceably. As the re sult of that, the situation was cleared up. But the few deserter in Aihe, with the disturbance they caused and with the spotlight which followed the action, of the Adjutant General and the Governor, gav to Ashe a bit of ad vertisement not received by some other counties with n far longer list of de linqucnts. . Not Ignorant, Either. Moreover, he says, western North Carolina mountain people are not the Ignorant backward class that the news story ia the Provost Marshal Geaeral' report would indicate. "Why, 1 went in the home of the father of one . of the deserters to get him. tcLcomn ittLbe jaid'aniJeund, two State dailies in the house, the fa' ther well read and highly intelligent. Of course there are classes in the moun tains ss everywhere else, but the moun tain peoplo are not to be singled out as far below the average," Ashe Waste Roads. Right now Ashe eounty is not worry ing particularly about deserters or of bragging about what it has done, Mr. Baugnss intimated. Ashe county wants roads, or a railroad by which it eaa communicate with the rest of Kevin Carolina. Moreover, it doesn't want re sponsibility left to the eounty, for in that event its own interest in becoming more closely associated with the folks this side of the mountains may be com pletely negatived by the stubbornness of the slothful ness of other counties which might not see the necessity or the advantage of the above. If roads are not to le constructed then n aenti-J ment which has cropped out in the west for a union of a few of the north western counties with Virginia will take a Arm hold and become a real demand, Mr. Baugas believe. .
