S By M. R. DUNNAGAN RALEIGH, Dec. 13 The 1933 Generai Assembly of North Caroli na will convene, get down to bus iness early, dispose of many of the local measures first and - meanwhile get busy trying to vfind the $12,000 000 deficit and balance the budget, winding up its business and adjourn ing in 60, or at most, 70 days. At least, this is "a cansumation devoutly to be wished" anda possi bility seen by many of those who are familiar with legislative bodies. And that is by no means minimizing the stupendous task before the new leg islative body. The incoming body knows it has work to do and is expected to. get about it. Plans for inaugurating Governor-elect J. C. B. Ehringhaus January 5, the day after it convenes, at which time he will, in his inaugu ral address, outline his legislative policy, give a start of a week or 10 days on previous legislatures. If ' R. L. Harris, Roxboro, -or R. Gregg Cherry, Gastonia, or Julius C. Mar tin, Asheville, or whichever is elect ed speaker of the House, and Lieu ' tenant-Governor A. H. Graham, pres ' iden't of the Senate, will name thfeir committees on the day the .session opens,' both bodies will be ready to begin functioning fully within two days. A "School for Legislators" is being planned for the new men by Thad A. Eure, 1829 representative from Hertford county, and clerk of the 1931 House, if he is again elected rincipal clerk. With the aid of older legislators, he p'.ans to hold classes in the session to give instructions a3 to the mechanics of the House for new members. This should aid them in getting their local bills in early and out of the way, thus further speeding up the work of the General Assembly. Of course, 62 of the 120 House members and 32 of the 50 Senators have, never lad legislative expedi ence before, but many of them are .mature and serious men and are ready to buckle down to the task be fore them. They will have their own views, but probably will be more in clined to compromise than were the members of the 1931 body and they will have the deplorable example of the 140 days of the 1931 cession, largely because of lack of compro mise. That and the . cost of a pro longed session are expected to be im- portant spurs to prod to a get-thru-and-go-home attitude of the mem- : bers. The only problem arising out of the early inauguration naming a House of Representatives inaugural committee before a speaker is elect- f ed to name it is really nop roblem, '. if the three membsrs agree to con firm, when elected, the three House S members Governor-Lhct Ehringhaus suggests. That is done anyway, the Governors-elect expressing his pref erence privately. The House mem bers can be confirmed by the speak- . er elected on the open day, the day before inauguration. Representative Harris, considered the leading candi date, has written Messrs. Cherry and , Martin suggesting such a course, and they are certain to agree. . Working on The Budget The Advisory Budget Commission, with Governor Gardner as chairman and Governor-Elect Ehringhaus sit ting in. will be in session the latter half of this week trying to work out n. halanced budsrewor submission to the General Assembly. It has before j it the task of paring down the re quests of heads of the departments, T institutions and agencies of the State : for appropriations for the next two years, and then finding revenues to meet the appropriations approved, all to be submitted to the General t Assembly in appropriations and rev enue bills. The legislative body is ; expected to follow more closely the commission's recommendations than '"it did two years ago, and that, too, arflll have a tendency to shorten the session. This commission spends mnch time and thought, with experts of the State administration, in bring ing about a balanced budget, out us work of last session was "scrapped," resulting in the long session and hard fight. " Free textbooks will be presented more strongly to the 19;3 General Assambly than evef before. Bills have been introduced, but with little to commend them.

The top of the car was smashed in and, several at the occupants were thrown thru it when it turned over. committees over the premiers protests The action of the chamber was in terpreted in lobbies as directed a- gainst the attitude of the American government on the debt issue, rather than against the radical socialist par ty leader who has been head of .the government for the last six months. The 402 deputies who 'voted out the government included men of all parties. Throughout the long session, the burly premier, who pleaded that the debt had to be paid as a matter of national honor, was listened to re spectively but coldly. ; ' The defeat of his government pre cipitated a situation calling into ques tion the whole system of debts and war preparations. President Albert Leburn, on whom Charles Darling Died This Morning Lockjaw Charles Darling passed away a bout ten o'clock this morning at the RALEIGH, Dec. 12 North Caro-! Potter Emergency Hospital, after suffering for about a ween irom te natus. or lockjaw. He was the twen ty-three-year-old son of Sam Darling. Some three weeks ago Mr. Darling was wearing a shoe that had a tack sticking up in the heel. This irritat ed the heel of the young man, but after the tack was removed the irri tation cured up. This seeming was the end of the shoe tack, until Mr. Dar ing's jaws started to stiffen last week. Last Thursday Mr. Darling was up the State on a fish truck run by Clyde Peterson. That night his jaw and back began to get stiff, 'his was attributed to riding on the truck. On returning home a doctor was call-ed, but when he was told that the stiff ness was probably caused from rid ing on the truck, Mr. Darling was giv en medicine to relax the muscles. The patient seemed to be getting along all right until Sunday night. Monday morning his back and jows were worse, and the doctor was call ed again. This time the doctor ques tioned the patient again concerning whether he had stuck anything in his feet or elsewhere in his Lody. Then the tack incident was recalled. Mr. Darling was then taken to the Potter Emergency Hosptial and every thing was done that could be done to cure him. Doctors W. S. Chadwick and C. S. Maxwell were the attend ing physicians. The patient was seem inely better during last night but death came this morning. Funeral services will probably be held tomorrow afternoon from the home of the deceased's father on Turner Street and interment will be the Ocean View Cemetery.

About 85 counties have already forwarded payments, due to be made each two weeks, of the 15-cent ad valorem tax and poll tax for 1932. The total of the two funds received by the State Treasury is $848,982.73, of which about $16,000 is poll taxes, Mr. Johnson's records show. Some few of the counties have not complet ed their books and started collections, the Treasurer is informed. Carteret county's property valua tion for 1931 showed that this coun ty should pay the State $21,772.00 from the 15-cent ad valorem tax on property for last year, but up to this time $7,672.88 of that amount has been received,-and an addition al $786.00 has been received in polL it was the first ministerial Crisis, "fM' Tor last .year.

Mr. Hassell stopped the car, got out, and walked carefully down the road on the opposite side from the quail. The dick's head darted out and then back under cover. Mr. Hassell shot and three quail jumped out from beneath the cover, but were mortally wounded and only went a short way. Under the bush lay thirteen quail, without a flutter. These were picked up and the dogs picked up the other three birds from the ditch. His limit was thus overshot by nine birds. This, however, was by ac cident, dut to Mr. Hassell's "crack ing" good shot when he brought down the sixteen birds with one shell. i CREW OF.
