With more than seventy bills on
the calendar in the House and over
fifty in the Senate ' of measures of
state wide importance which must

. Three sessions daily are being
held and the solons grind until mid
night. .
The machinery bill, one of - the
most important pieces of work has
passed the House and is receiving
the consideration . of the other
bnocb. That provision in the bill
relating to the State Tax Commis
sion delegates very large authority
and authorizes the commission in
the various counties to give instruc
tions to the county assessors. It al
so provides that the commission ap
point from each county one ttx
sessor and that the county com mis.
sioners appoint- assistants in each
township. The time is changed al
so from Jane 1st to May 1st. The
county assessor and the county com
missioners, who constitute an equal
isation bord are to ni-et in July.

this.

session of the legislature as pass
ed by the Honse parsed its second
reading in the Senate This bill
provides for giving two year notes to
cover the deficit and renewing the
f550,000 falling due in 1913. This
is based upon the idea that with a
fair and impartial valuation of pro
perty the State will be able to pay
its debts without issuing bondsT
The Terrene land title bill was
defeated in the Senate by a vote of
22 to 18. Opposing speeches - were

' " "- " - tions - J , " ''
All persons who have subscribed
to the Confederate monumratare
now asked to pay their subscriptions
as the order has been placed for the
monument and the contract reads
that it is to be erected by May the
ttb. Subscriptions should be sent
to Mrs. J. V. Koas, Treasurer, and
it is hoped that every one will re-
pond to this call without further
mmindinc. Evervb:dv in RandolDh
eonnty should have a share in the
monument. The only way to do
this is to send a contribution. The
members of the Randolph Chapter
Daughters of Confederacy, who have
been soliciting for the monument,
have been untiring in their efforts
and any donations will be grate
full v received. : Appeals have been
' made to the Confederate veterans to
' eollect five dollars each for the moan
ment, several have complied with
this request and if the others' will it
will greatly help. The picture of
the monument wiirbe on exhibition
at the court house during ' oourt
week. It is oie that will "reflect
credit on the citizens of the county
and is an appropriate memorial to
those in whose honor it is being
erected,'
: , . ."' sity Letter
la a game . . V Vet ball that was
in every way wet.. o the standard
of the athletic conwsts between the
University of Virginia and the Uni
versity of North Carolina, Caro
lina lost by a three point mrgin,
the score being 18 to 15. The score
was tied at the end ol the first half.
The game was pla.'ed under the
intercollegiate rules, the rules under
which Virginia had been playing,
while Carolina had played every
game thus far under the Y. M. O. A.
rules. Virginia's play feitnred
dribbling which was possible under
intercollegiate. Despite this dis
advantage and the further set back
kf a ten poundB inferioirty in weight
man to man, UaroiiLa played a
game that for sheer grit and beauti
ful fighting courage should make
every . Carolina man feel proud.
There is little doabt that the men
who played in this game will be
awarded the varsity ihsigns, N. U.
monogram.

Interesting Meeting of Farmers..
Mr. Editor : I attended the farm,
era' meeting,' Satnrdav. February
25th. To say that I was well
pleased would be putting i" in very
small terms. Any one wao is a good
farmer, much less a gwd uuion
man, would have felt much enthused
when he heard the Doctor talk of
what the Farmers' Union-is and
what it wants to do by way of educa
tion, in agriculture and better busi
ness methods among farmers, and
for good roads and all modern con'
veniences for the good peop e of the
county; then he could say, "Surely,
some good will come onr way bv and
by."
. The discussion tf bow to do bet
ter farming, and how we might in
crease the yield of different crocs,
would have done credit to a regular
farmers' institute. .' , ;
Just at this time the fertilizer
question is uppermost in the miuds
of the farmer, and they are mnch
wrought up over the fact that tbey
have been so mnch misled in buy
ing the ready mixed goods, and thus
often spent their, money in a way
that brought no returns to them. .
I hp etsB on was a good one from
mor- tha-i a pttssiog tiotice. It was
a good uiowd of. le.el hbaded men.
and showed by its conduct that there
is a goou nmon spirit in cur goou
old county, and when the time
comes to have good roads tbey will
give a good accon nt of tbtmselves..
The roll call was answered by 28
locals and haruiouy and the beat hu.
mor reveled.

To the Rural Carriers of Randolph
County.
Believing that the interests of the
rural free delivery service of this
county would be greatly furthered
by better acquaintance and co-opeia
tion with the department, by an or
ganization of the carriers in the
county, and further realizing that
all other classes or government em
ployees sr heli ed by organization, I
your brother carrier earnestly desire
that each ana every carrier and sub
carrier write me and if there is any
probable chance to organize the car
riers, of Randolph we will do so at
an early date.
No, brother currier, don't lay this
down ana torget it, bat act at once.

North Carolina Sunday School As
sociation. The 28th session of the State
Convention will convene in High
Point April 26-28, , 111.
The convention will be in many
respects, the greatest ever held
in our state. We will have as in
ternational representative, Mr.
M. Lawrence, general secretary
of the International S- S Asso
ciation. He is, without a doubt,
the greatest and most successful
Sunday School worker in the
wor'd today. He will appear on
he program a number of times
in addresses, round tables and in
conferences. Other speakers of
state and national reputation wi 1
be there and participate.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Butler will
have charge of the musical part
of the program. Mr. Butler has
been for several years with Dr.
Torryinhis evangelistic tours.
He is a leader and soloist of un
usual ability. , Mrs. Butler has
a sweet soprano voice and her
solos will be recered with de
light. -
Owing to the wonderful growth
of the association and increased
numbers in attendance at the
state convention year after year
in order that the convention may
not be a burden to the city the
following regulations have been
circulated governing the dele
gates: All officers of the Association
with all members of - the execu
tive committees, also presidents,
chairmen and secretaries of coun
ty associations, are . always ad
mitted as delegates, and in addi
tion to the above every county is
entitled to as many delegates as
there are'townships in the coun
ty. . All delegates will pay a reg
istration fee of $1.00 when as
signed to their homes.
All registered delegates will re
ceive free entertainment during
the convention and reserved seat
in convention, also have a voice
and vote : in all deliberations of
the convention.
The conference alone will be
worth thpeost. It has Jbeen our
custom to pay our.pledge for the
state work at State conventions.
We hope the various schools and
J! 'J-l 11 A.
lnuiviuuaia can pay au or a pari,
so that we may have sufficient
funds to meet our pledge.
Trying to Settle ith, Uncle Sam
The federal treasury officials have
made demand on Governor Kitohin
for the payment of about $50,000,
worth of old tail road bonds of the
same class as those bonds on which
South Dakota brought suit. Sena
tor Overman has informed the offi
cials of the cutting down of about
$44,000 worth of North Carolina
cotton that was Beized by the Fed
eral government in Ueorgia years
ago. Senator Overman has asked
that a commission be appointed to
affect this settlement with Uncle
Sam. It will be remembered that
suuie time ago Senator Overman
secured an aot of Congress requiring
the federal, government to pay its
debt to North Carolina.
The Randolph Club.
Tbe Randolph Club was organized
primarily as a social organization,
but it has developed into a most
helpful cuamber of commerce It
is taking on new life, and is enlist,
iog sympathy and enthusiasm. No
town or city is a growing, progres
sive place without a hve,wide-awake
hustling chamber of commerce.
Progress along industrial and other
lines does not exist where there is
not a union of effort.
Businessmen properly organized
are a dynamic force, but when left
to act individually the best of them
cut bnt little figure.
When organized, they consult to
gether and get the benefit of the
collective wisdom- and good judg
ment ol ail.
The exchange of ideas and the
benefits to be derived by consultation
and planning together is the one
thine needful.
After a business men's organiza
tion tbe thing to do is to . put the
members to work by assigning them
something to do. Keep them busy
and the organization will not only
keep alive, but tbe community will
grow and prosper. - 1
