Raleigh Round-Up Killing Of Court Reform Proposal Lamented, Future Of Speakers Cited BY KIDD BREWER | REASONS ... Not a very good mixer is State Sen. J. Spencer Bell of Mecklenburg county— and that is one of the reasons given for the last-ditch defeat of the court reform plan in the leg islature last week. Bell worked like a dog on the project, which never had what you could call rank-and-file en dorsement from the attorneys of the state. In the grassroots, meantime, the magistrates or justices of the peace knifed at the change which would sharply alter the process of appointment and pay for these august offiees. Here in the legislature the pro posal — for the most part stay ed perched up there on Cloud Twenty. The House members who would have to carry the ball were not lobbied enough on the bill. It became too much of a Sen ate thing. So when it got mixed up with constitutional changes, etc., John Kerr, Jr., and Friends —able men, too — could hardly wait to get their hands on Court statesmen in the 1959 edition of the N. C. General Assembly which held forth here for more than four months was J. Spen cer Bell. Bald, blue-eyed cupid red-faced and cocky in a quiet way is one of the real big men of North Carolina. But he’s no When you think of prescriptions, think of Varner’s. —Adv. lobbyist, no-hail-fellow-well-met, and he had a big load to carry with a short number of shoulders under the log. Court reform is needed in North Carolina — and it will come. But it seems that nothing connected with courts can ever attain much speed in this State. If you have ever been plaintiff, defendant, witness, member of the jury, judge or attorney, you know what we mean. NOT OFTEN ... As the legisla ture ground to a faltering stop, there was some talk amidst fare wells that House Speaker Addison Hewlett might become a candidate fur Governor next year. Well, we doubt it. In the first place, Hewlett is completing about 15 months of the hardest work of his career — running an extremely hard race for Speaker; and then serving as referee, umpire, and head linesman for that always ram bunctious House of Representa tives. Also, while now well known and generally liked by most legislators, easy-going and prematurely gray Addison Hewlett is not yet a fam iliar up the lanes, around the court houses. and down the streets where votes are made in North Carolina. He knows that. THE SPEAKERS . . . What be comes of North Carolina House Speakers once their tenure in this prominent and powerful po sition has come to an end? To our memory, only two of them in modern times have gone to greater things on the political horizon. Willis Smith went to the U. S. Senate about 20 years after his service as Speaker. Gregg Cherry became Governor ten years after stepping down from the post. Some other Speakers of recent years were: Kerr Craige Ramsay, of Salis bury, who served just a decade ago, was at 38 one of our young est men to serve in this place. He died suddenly a few months later. John Kerr, Jr., Speaker in 1943, has served time both in the Senate and House; and was in the House very muchly this ses sion. Larry Moore, Wilson, was the star lobbyist in the vain attempt to bring the dogs and the rabbit back to Morehead and Currituck this time. He served in 1955. Gene Dost, Kannapolis, was defeated in the runoff with Bad ford Black last year. He was the Speaker in 1953. Frank Taylor of Goldsboro, 1951 Speaker, is an effective lob byist and attorney. % Tom Pearsall, Rocky Mbunt, is the daddy of the now famous (and apparently successful) Pearsall Plan for the solution of racial problems in the schools. He has extensive farming inter ests in Nash and Edgecombe counties. J. K. Houghton, Sparta, became 75 this past May 18 and, like his kin, looks as much like white oak as a Doughton. He was in the re cent House. NEXT TIME . . . While, as you can see, the Speakership seldom leads to fame or fortune, the office undoubtedly carries prestige — hence the hard battles for it. The fight has already begun for 1961, with candidates seeming to be Honoraibles Cloyd Philpott of Lex ington, Joe Hunt of Greensboro, Marcellos Buchanan of Sylva, and Clyde Harris of Salisbury, to name a few. Harris, who served as chairman of the Appropriations Committee in the House this time, will have a lot of Hewlett strength in his corner as a nucleus for this cam paign. HOUND DOG ... A couple of weeks back, the Rev. Bones Mc Kinney, Wake Forest basketball coach, was giving the address in his delightfully informal way for the special ceremony honoring R. S. Haltiwanger, retiring as principal of Hanes High in Win. ston-Salem. Prof. Haltiwanger is much loved by everyone who knows him. When old Bones bore down once very eloquently on what he had meant to education, one of Hie good patrons, deeply impress ed, shouted “Amen!” Bones halted for a moment and in his charming way said: “Glad you agree, Friend, but please don’t say amen to me — or we just might be here all nigfit. Saying amen to a Baptist preach er is just like saying ‘sick ’im’ to a hound dog.” Great Britain covers an area smaller than the state of Oregon. But The World Book Encyclopedia says it has 34 times as many people as Oregon. When you think of prescriptions, think of Varner’s. —Adv. CROSSWORDi ACROSS 1. A somer sault (colioq.) 5.
