LEGISLATURE IN SESSION
Economy the Talk, But No One Will
ing to Curtail Progress.—Sen
ator Horton Gets Important
Chairmanship
The legislature assembles Wednes
day at noon. This session was pre
ceded the evening’ before by a caucus
of the Democratic members of the
House to decide upon the speakership.
There were three contestants, R. T.
Fountain, of Edgecomb, H. G. Con
nor, of Wilson, and Nat Townsend, of
Harnett. It had been supposed that
the contest would be long drawn out,
as Fountain and Connor both claimed
near a majority, while Townsend, who
liad been engaged m budget work and
had not had time to devote to his can
didacy, had a faithful following and
hoped apparently that he might be
the beneficiary when the friends of
one of the other candidates broke a
way from their man. But on the sec
ond ballot enough of Connor’s sup
porters turned to Fountain to give tne
Edgecomb man the prize.
Fountain is reported as a new man
in the house, and his victory is, there
fore, all the more surprising. His
address of acceptance was to the
point. He said that the people are
reefing the taxes sorely, and indicated
that he favors strict economy. |
The senate is presided over by
Lieut. Governor Elmer Long, but W.
S. Long of Halifax was chosen presi
dent to preside in the absence of Gov
ernor Long. So it will have a Long |
in the chair all the time.
The Lieutenant Governor already
had made his committee assignments
and was ready to report them. Sen
ator W. P. Horton gets the important
chairmanship of Elections, and has
been assigned to several other impor
tant committees.
The House did nothing more the
first day than organize. But Dr. Hart,
member from Anson, gave the good j
advice that the house begin tne econ-1
omy regime at its own -
ing the usual number of clerks and
otner job holders, it is repo.— I
there were ten a T ' r »licpnts *0- e— — 1
job. Lieutenant Governor Long had
aiieadv planned a siu,ouo reuu..iv;a ai,
senate expenses.
The Governor’s Address
Governor McLean addressed the two
houses in joint session Wednesday
etening. The essence of his address
as given by today’s Greensboro News
is as follow’s:

Walking on Water
It Is possible to walk on water,
or at least on the surface of Lake
Magadl, Kenya colony, Africa, be
-cause of the thick crust of carbonate
of soda, commonly known as baking
coda, which covers the lake’s sur
face. This lake, which is fifteen miles
long and four miles wide, even at
the height of summer has the ap
pearance of being completely frozen
over. The lake Is impregnated by
sodium carbonate, In the same way
Great Salt Lake water is full of sale.

Ancient Spanish City
Holds Open-Air Court
Justice, swift and certain, is meted
out every Thursday morning at the
Tribunal de las Aquas, or the Court
of the Waters, In tile Spanish city of
Valencia. The courtroom Is the pave
ment, open to the blue sky, and has
been thus for five centuries. The
judges’ bench Is a sofa, appearing
from some mysterious hiding place,
and a portable Iron railing provides
the bar of justice. There are seven
judges. The plaintiff makes his state
ment, then the defendant states his
side of the case. Any interruption
brings a fine. One judge announces
the verdict and there Is no appeal
from the decision: Neither the gov
ernment of Spain nor that of Valencia
has any part in the* court, yet they
honor its acts. None of the decisions
is ever recorded and no lawyers are
permitted to appear before the judges.

Brick Haven News
Brick Haven, Jan. 3.—Again we
ace a New Year with its unknown
opportunities for living -the bigger, j
better life. But in looking eagerly I
forward to, the .coming, year with its
blessings and go'den opportunities,
we would pause a moment in bidding
farewell to the Old Year to breathe
a little prayer of thanks for the hap
piness and gladness that has been ours
the past year. Asa community we
have been wonderfully blest, and while
to somp of us the year has brought
more of .sadness, than of gladness*
we feel very grateful for the exper
iences that have been ours. May we
be stronger, truer and braver with
each passing year. Kinder and more
. considerate of our fellowmen. The
great Sea of the Future has never
been sailed by man ahd the only Pilot
who cap steer the ship of Life through
the waters of the unknown is He who
came that all might have life, and
have it more abundantly. Mav we as
individuals and as a community show
by our every day living that He is
our Pilot, and may we look up and
love and serve and live!
The holidays passed off very pleas
antly in our little village. Every
’ one seemed to be having a quiet
py tim.e. No misconduct nor undue
i boisterous behavior in the vicinity.
True, the serious illness of Mrs. E. C.
Mims cast a gloom over all, but we
are glad to learn that she is much
i improved.
Mr. T. J. Harrington who has been
worse the past few weeks, is better.
We wonder if any community has
i ever had more object lessons in cheer
fulness and faith than Mr. Harring
ton has given Brick Haven. Though
afflicted for several years he has been
the most optimistic of men, always
• smiling and gracious to his friends
; and customers. He has filled a place
• in the life of the community that the
; well and strong may envy. His for
i titude and cheerful good nature is
i marvelous and has often been cbm

he is improving and hope that he may

MONCURE BADLY HIT
Two things have happened to affect
seriously the prosperity of the good
little town of Moncure. First, the
planing mill there has been thrown
temporarily into the hands of a re
ceiver, Mr. Wade Barber. Second, the
branch of the Banking Loan and
Trust Company located there has
picked up its business and gone back
to the parent home at Sanford.
From reports, there seems to have
been a connection between the two
events. Mr. Barnes, cashier of the
bank, held half the stock in the plan
er. Dissatisfaction had arisen among
the stockholders. Some of them sought
and obtained the temporary receiver-'
ship. The Banking Loan and Trust
Company held a mortgage on the
planing mill. The attitude of the
complaining stockholders n did not
please the Bank folk and hence, along
with the genuine low state of busi- !
ness, they picked upr the bank, bag
and baggage, and took it back to San
ford.
The planer has not paid any divi
dends, we understand, since Mr.
Barnes became responsible for its
management, but its resources in ma
terial and accounts indicate that the
business had pulled out of the slough
into which it had fallen before the
last management took control.
This is the way the Record hear:
it from one whose sister has stock in
the planer. .. A
