Large Equalizing Fund Moser Helped In Tight for More Money For Schools. I. C. Moser, Raadoltfftfa representa tive in the Hoorn off Representatives of the North CaioHna General As sembly which ended its sessions Tuesday night, arrived home yester day morning. Mr. Moser is of the opinion that the recent session of the General Assembly passed some of the most constructive legislation in the history of North 'Carolina. Mr. Moser iis especially pleased with the equalizing fund which the General Assembly provided for the schools of the State. According to the news 'Which comes down to Ran dolph from Raleigh, Mr. Moser was one of‘the legislators in the fore front Of the light to get the $3,260, 000 equalizing fund which was pro vided after a stiff light in the Sen ate. The House supporters of a larger equalizing fund than the mil lion and a half which the schools have been given first set their figures at $4,0003000. The Senate had set its figures at $2,000,000, or possibly $2, 500,000. The House remained firm, especial ly the'representatives there from the poorer counties of the State, and the end "df the matter was a compromise of $3^250,000 for the equalizing fund. This larger fund means that the schools in the less rich counties of the State will get a larger share of the State money for the support of their schools. It means that the share which Randolph has been get ting will be almost doubled. An act which Mr. Moser got through the General Assembly for Randolph was the bill with reference to the sheriffs office which was ex plained in last week’s issue of The Courier. This bill requires a monthly settlement from the sheriff of all county money collected by him. Another act of local concern was a county ga/ne bill which provides a game commission for Randolph coun ty. In the closing hours of the General Assembly, however, a bill was passed which repealed all local bills which conflict with the . Stater •Wide gfente bffl/^Whethe^ the ‘Ran dolph game bill belongs in this clas sification remains to be seen. X. L.

Jonathan Daniels, Washington, Ik C., correspondent for the Raleigh News and Observer and the Winston Salem Journal, had the fallowing ar ticle in yesterday morning’s issne sC these two North Carolina dailies: A call to arms to the dry Daman racy of North Carolina to prevent “the procurement of delegates for * wet candidate” for the Presidency, was issued here today by Representa tive W. C. Hammer, in a vigonma statement commenting on the repeal of the Presidential primary by the General Assembly. Mr. Hammer declared that ha would deplore a wet and dry fight ia North Carolina, but that “another move or two on the part of the wets, similar to this repeal ^Of the Presidential primary, will precipi tate that issue into the campaign be yond the control of anybody." Victory For Smith The North Carolina Representative makes no mention in his statement of either William Gibbs McAdoo ofr Alfred E. Smith, but he makes ft clear that he regards the repeal of the Presidential primary as a defi nite part of the fight between these men and forces back of them for the Democratic Presidential nomina tion. The statement makes it clear, too, that he regards the repeal as a drawing of first blood by the Smith forces. He charges the advocates of the act with not being “candid” and de clares that the act is “the entering wedge for the destruction of the whole primary system in'North Caro lina.” Sometime ago Mr. Hammer aa I nounced his opposition to the Pw idential aspirations of Govenur Smith. | “I have been an earnest and -con sistent advocate of the legalized ~pr*~ mary method of nominating candi dates for public office,"” the Hammer statement declares, “and I regret very ' much the blow tbat has been dealt to the primary , system; by the.-State legislature, in its last-minute repeal of the Presidential primary.
