THURSDAY; MARCH8.:l9i5 5U)0 PEfV XE ;1NADNC V -'. - - X rOV CRAIG REVIEWS THE uivi. v. ; (News & Observer.) I Asked to give his views as to the General Assembly of 1915 and the work which was done during the ses sion Governor Craig had the follow ing to say yesterday: - " -'. .; -The Legislature of 1915 has done 00d vork. It has not inmy opinion done everytmug mat, n,:Buutuu"uuvs Hnu but it has passed laws ,that will result in benefit to North Carolina. It was said to tue a conservative ;.Doay vben it met. Prediction, was made that it would do but' little or nothinj. Considering tne unfavorable condi-. tions tliat prevailed this was not. a tin.e ior enacting drastic legislation. But tbe legislature, was composed of strong and patriotic men, and it Jturn- 'ed out to be a progressive legislature. 'One of tne most -important bills enacted was the fish law. ,We have heretofore neglected our immense fishing resources. North Carolina is more advantageously situated for fish ing than any State on the Atlantic coast, and properly conserved and protected we would have the' finest fishing industry. We have neglected this, and the industry has thereby been largely impaired. The law ! en- icted by this legislature is for the protection and the conservation of tho large food supply that comes to- U3 through the inlets from the Atlantic ocean. If we wili administer the law wisely it will result In immense bene fit to the State and will alone justify this General - Assembly. All depends on the wise and considerate adminis tration of the law. The State should in a few years derive a, large revenue. from fishing and at the same time preserve for ourselves and for future generations this plentiful food supply yielded by our waters. "The establishment of the Highway Commission is, another good law. Ws are building and improving our roads as never before. - The creation of thin Highway Commission looks to the in telligent -and; more economical an more permanent development of our v4 I GOVERNOR LOCKE CKAICU highways. The two measures above mentioned have heretofore been de feated by Legislatures that -were said to be more progressive than the one that Las adjourned. This legislature had the wisdom and the courage to enact these laws that mean real pro gress in our industriar and social life. "Thr; enactment of the law restrict ing the shipment of intoxicating li quors in the State is an advance step toward the more complete enforce ment of prohibition. The enforce ment of this law will effectively put end to blind, tigers and tQ.Ihe -demoralization resulting from the illicit traffic in whiskey. " "The primary law is also a step for ward. While it may not be all that some of the advocates of .the" 'primary would desire, it will be an applica tion of the principal of popular nomi nations and if satisfactory will reanlt ia its general -application to all th offices of the State. - "The act establishing on Mitchell'? Jeak a State park will save and pro tect this most noted mountain in the eastern part of the North American Contient. It is an act that reflects "edit upon the legislature and upou the prevailing sentiment of the peo ple behind it. 'Many statutes were passed of local and of general importance that will pe to the encouragement of the best mterests of the State. "The Legislature was liberal in its aPPropriations to our educational an1 eleesmosynary institutions. Ths amounts set apart for these institu tons may be large but it was in ac: cordanee with a wise policy that will result in moral and intellectual devel opment, and in the improvement of feen)th conditions. . " ; ' "T ?ill say too for the information J many people In the various parts ot the State that means were adopted t0 Prevent the coming in to North Carolina of the foot and mouth dis--ease, which has caused anxiety in our cattle-producing sections. , Altogether the work of the legifr jatnre has been wise and able, and ni result in Jaetins good to the whole state." ' " If'7' ' " jl m LOVE-FEASTEVG CONTENTION , JDEMOCRATS NAME OFFICERS C. E. Brooks, Chairman; B. L. Ed - Tfards,-Secretary ; Three Commit teemen -. From Each Precinct. A representative number of demo crats met at the court house Monday niht and perfected an organization for wagiilg a strenuous campaign to be held In May for the election of a niayor and "six commissioners. R; M; "Oates, chairman of the county democratic executive committee, , who made the call for the meeting, opened the convention and stated that its pur pose was to organize, and since , he was not a : resident of Hendejsonville the election of a permanent chairman was in order.- - . , The names of C. E. Brooks and John T. : Wilkihs . were placed before the house, but Mr. Wilkins. asked that his name be" withdrawn ! and Mr. Brook3 was elected chairman; the office later being made permanent S. Y. Bryson acted as temporary secretary until R. it. Edwards was elected permanently Chairman Brooks named a nominat ing committee, the purpose of which was to suggess at least six men from each precinct as a list from .which the body might select three . men from each precinct to serve oh the execu tive committee The committee was composed of Michael Schenck, M. M. Shepherd, J. W. Bailey, T. L. Durham, J. A. Bryson. The committee retired and soon reported the following names and the convention proceeded to bal lot for members of the executive com-. mitteev-,theresult being as follows: For " East Henderson ville : J. W. Mc Carson, 41 votes; E. J. Rhodes, 38; J. E. Shlpman, 33; W. A. Keith, .27; J. B. Brookshlre, 24; Foster Bennett, 12. West Henderson vi He i R. P. Freeze, 41; E. W. Ewbank, 31; J. W. Smathers, 24; McD. Ray, 23; Michael Schenck, 21; John Arledge, 11; W. H. Bangs, 15. . Messrs. McCarson, Rhodes, Ship man, Freeze, Ewbank and Smathers were declared members of the executiv3 committee. The meeting was not featured by. oratory or the work of hot air artists, since those present felt that extra boosting was unnecessary to thrill and enthuse the officers and workers." , . p ." Customary: to . all such : gatherings there vas ' a tittle' love feasting and ' Lerchange of compliments mostHif; whichaa limited to Michael Schenck and McD. Ray? v The city campaign will be a short but strenuous one, and the nominating convention will not be held for somp time, probably in April. Chairman Brooks advised those pres ent that the election of officers did not signify - that they were to do all the. work for it was the duty of all to do whatever their hands'f.ocmld find to do for the success of , the democratic party.;. ; I CONGRESS ADJOURNS AFTER . SESSION OF NEAR 2 .YEARS; Many Measures of .Real Constructive Nature Are - Enacted; Clark " : , Reviews Work. Washington, March 4. After two years of almost continuous session, the Sixty-third congress, which ie .vised" the tariff and the currency system- of the nation, supplemented the trust laws, created an income tax and demonstrated the first popular elec tion of United States senators," ended at noon 'today. When gavels fell in the houpe and senate signalizing the " adjournment, they marked the close of half of Pres ident Wilson's administration, the first under domination of the democratic party since 1895. Strenuous scenes . enlivened the fading "hours, devoted chiefly to com pleting the appropriations for subslst ance of the government.. .Two import ant measures, the postoffice and In dian supply Dills, failed in the final legislative -crush after desperate ef forts had been made to save them, In the emergency occasioned rby their failure point resolutions were passed and signed by the president continu ing in force v appropriations , of the present year;- : While tired senators And represen tives were devoting their energies, to final essentials.

A : ! Hendersiazr as caught the .''build t now" spirit as will be seen from .th. advertising columns of the Democrat this week. -"' - The movement by the Democrat to Inaugurate a "build now" campaign li the city .was warmly greeted by those who have materials which can be of fered now at fully as reasonable" if not at more reasonable prices than at any other time and it is a movement in which riearly all classes are par ticularly interested. : The movement has met with a sig nal success in various sections of the country- since it was inaugurated af a time when business conditions wer? below the normal by,, reason of the European war. Those who .have anything to, do with building operations would be jh a position to figure closer than under, ordnary circumstances and by reason of the decrease in the price of some of the materials and the small amount of building now going on in the city it is reasonable to believe that this campaign should be the means of in : ducing prospective builders to mako their investments at this time. There is some building going on in the city, but more building on the pari of those who contemplate improve-, ments of various kinds during tbo year would mean much for the better ment of local business conditions., A study of the" "build now" business an nouncements in this issue of the Dem ocrat should be j)f interest." Some of the. improvements now un der way are: 1 - Forest building, two story brick Main street. - Baker's garage, one story-, brick; sixth avenue, west. . ' ' Bur ckmyer Brothers, remodeling two story, Prick, Main street. Mrs. Roland, cottage, Buncombe street. ' .-. - E. J. Rhodes, residence, corner Spring street and Sixth avenue, east j. P. - Embler, ' residence corner Church street and 8th avenue, west. T. R. DeShields, residence. Concerning . the "Build Now" move ment in Spartanburg, the Herald ha the following to say: "It is not surprising that the sug gestion, that has appeared " in the newspapers of the country that those, who have houses to build should pre pare to -build them now" Is showing good" results. It -has caused the- con tractors .-'and builders ,and- builders" and mm Roads community!" supply people toigive the mWeipt ciose puces consideration and has in spired the individual with plans for a building to make" inquiries ,whicb have revealed the fact that buildinfe may be done more cheaply just at Vl time than at any time within the last few years. ' A Spartanburg contractor said yes terday that he was busy and more business was in sight ,and he attrir. uted this fact tp the disposition of all the interests involved in the building business, from the carpenter to the supply merchant , to make concessions in the effort to 'get things started again." . - . .; "It is a fact, he said, that building can be done more cheaply now than year go, or two or three years ago. And he expects operation to reach a normal stage before the spring is far advanced. ' "By. co-operation the supply people, the contractors and the carpenters may bring along business In their line. It Is the proper spirit." -A REPUBLICAN GATHERING. . A number of Hendersonville. repub licans gathered . at the armory Monday night to do honor to Representative George H. Valentine, who returned last Week. from. Raleigh. Mr. Valen tine told of his work In the genera', assembly. He was congratulated .in short talks by R. H. Staton, Brown low Jackson and W. C. Rector. the lat ter serving as chairman of the meet ing. ' MAKING BAT CAYE MOYIES.
