I THE COLTT.TTTTEES ARE THE REAL LABORINO CLASSES OF THE LEGISLATURE WHO DO THINGS. 1 BIG TUGS LOOKED FOR Judge Ewart Succeeds in Getting Road Law Changed as to Age of Young Men Working Roads From 18 to 21. Don't ever get the idea into yeour head that the work of the general assembly is done while the house is actually in session. Far, far from the 'fatal tru$h .would guch an idea or impression be. The committees are-the, real incuba tors, so to speak, of;the laws final ly enacted by the legislature, and it's the committees that are the real laboring classes of that hon orable body. . . The house may stay in session for a couple of, hours, isay. Just before adjournment the lis of oQmmittees scheduled to meet that afternoon is announced 1 with place of meeting. If the committee td, which certain bill hfebecn referred recommends its passage, it 's reasonably sure to go through. If it doesn't, it wont. Somcr eOm mittee meetings resemble the house in session discussing a new anti trust law, as for instance the last taeeting of, the imuranet y eqxa mittee to ' which had been re ferred the Koonee bill pro Tiding .fcstjf cn inyestigatioji of the insurance companies of the state. There wag a stenographer present, insurance men from all rer the state, scores of telegrams were received and read, and eome warm talks heard.. All this was preliminary as to whether or not ! tiie committe should reeomsiend t&e investigatioa. ! As all of the members of the ; house serve on from one to many' lifferent committeea it keeps the toe from hanging heavily on their hands and saves" them from home sickness. No to be a -member of a North Carolina legislature is"not altogrother a soft thing with four plunks and mileage attached, as many of the new members are dis covering. ; The legislature is three weeHs eld and there has Ken no import ant act yet passed, but they are getting in training to pa&- hem. sure. Of the nearlyfctir ll-indred ti!ls dropped into the Hopper; forty-seven have become laws rqf the state. More local bills have Deen introfWed and aeted upon by one third than rat : the last 'Besadooi' which is as it should be as it leaves the last half : of the termf or seri ous cousideration of the really im portant measures and they are many including the "Western Training School the, establish-, ment of which means so . much to that part of the state, including a certain town known as Hender sonville. ," . Two years ago there were 2075 new laws placed: on the book. It is believed the records of the pre sent session will go beyond- that and possibly reach the high, wat er mark of , six years ago, when over three thousand were enroll ed on the heavily burdended law books of the. state. Aside from the' Western train ing school there are some heavy appropriations talked of. Maybe the approriations will he made and then agrain maybe they wont be, for in dealing with a legisla nre you can't most always some tines tell .inst what 'is -Or is not ing to haiwen along that line. The appropriation of over half a million for tV TTniversity, the proposed adristration building to cot a T;";r the inerease amonts as ' by the various in stitutions, a'3 "p the Western Training seboT r 11 together re present a vast but absolutely nec essarv exnertUnre of the state's moneytat -!?f the different bills ' rr thr'h.-' " ; "r"-' -: STATEb PASSED North Carolina - is no longer a poor J'sta'te. In educational affairs, for instance, she stands mighty close to the top, thank goodness, and she's "going to stand at the very top. some day, thank good ness, lne proposed administra tion building is clearly a necessity as is the western training school, while no man in the state would advocate anything but better and still better care of North Caro lina's afflicted Nand incapables. One of the .happiest signs of the go ahead spirit now rampant throughout the .commonwealth is the number of good roads bills introduced, one Of : them provid ing for state . aid to counties ex pending threerfourths of the cost for that purfose,s the state paying the remainder .and also furnishing tjieueeessary" road : machinery -a very big item indeed, ;as :. Press Patton will tell you.. - Davidson county , by the way, -l where they have been investigating the best methods t of building roads? has a bill in the house authorizing a bond issue for the county for the purpose of constructing sand clay roads, having decided that method to be the best. Dr. Few haa al ways been an earnest advocate of sand clay for Henderson county roads, us well, &s many others who hare been giving the ubject thought and attention. Hon.

ISi? SPECULATION RELATIVE TO THIS' TIOIL TOWN'S POPULAR FROM ONE WHO Says That the Figures Will Hard ly Reach Oyer 3,000 Other Real Live Facts. . When' the last town, in North Carolinan above . the 5000 pop-; ulation mark 'was heard , from there were some in Hendersonville who felt a little disappointed.
