Tarboro, N. C, Sept. 12. The
Hussey case came up here this even

There was no jury, as Hussey had
made a confession. He went on the

it was he became involved when the
Bank of Tarboro was wrecked.
Judge Ward has not passed sen

Claude Kitchin made strong appeals
to the judge to be as lenient as he
could with the young man.

There was no minting of words In

"There is a movement which seemt to

strengthen executive authority, and
that is the"system of Initiative, refer
endum and recall. The Governor
had no "power to veto or amend a
law initiated by the people and adopt
ed by referendum. If the law Is in
violation ot the constitution, invades
vested rights or destroys individual
liberty, the only remedy can he found
in the courts, and where the system
of recall of judges prevails, over
throwing, as it does, the indepen
dence of the judiciary, the courts
would degenerate into tribunals or
ganized chiefly to register popular
judgment on all legal questions.'
It was pleasing to know, he added, j
that this "insidious popular vagary,"
will meet with the almost unanimous
opposition of the American bar.
Governor Wilson did not reply un
til several Western Governors had
spoken.
"It seems to me," he said, "that on

Meeting Last Week Win Favor
Parcels Fost
At the meeting of the National Farmers'-Union
held at Shawnee, Okla
homa, last week, it was agreed that
this year's cotton crop will be sold
for 14 cents during September and
October, and 15 cents thereafter.
, The actlon which was unanimous,
was taken in the adoption of the re
port of a special committee on mini
mum prices. The committee was
composed of cotton growers who were
largely influenced by scores of tele
grams and messages from all parts of
the South, many of which,. urged a
minimum of 15 cents.
Members of the union say parcels
post will be favored by farmers and
that the delegates will endorse the
6cott "anti-gambling" bill, prohibit
ing the use of malls or Interstate com
merce for contracts for the delivery j
of cotton, where there Is no Intent
to make actual delivery.
The report of the live stock com
mittee urges diversified farming and
stock raising and contains the state
ment that "one million additional
milk cows and an equal number of
mother cows, properly distributed
throughout the South, would easily
add $10 per bale to the price of the
cotton crop.

contest The week berore last l&.uuu
extra votes were offered on every
yearly subscription sent in. and for
the week which cloeed last night,
75,000 extra votes were given on
every club of five subscriptions.
The offer this week is practically
the same, only It takes a club of ten
to secure the extra 150,000. Some
of the candidates have been holding
sack, waiting for a better offer, but
It will not be to their interest to hold
back any longer, as there will not be
another offer better than the one
announced to-day.
Never again during the entire con
test will more votes be issued oa a
club of subscriptions than will bo is
sued this week.
A two-year subscription will count
as two one-year subscriptions in mak
ing up a club. A five-year subscrip
tion will count as five one-year sub
scriptions. In fact all subscriptions
for one year and more count on the
offer this week, in making up a club.
Candidates are not limited to ono
club but may secure as many as pos
sible. Fair Play for AH.
All contestants will be treated
alike in the contest. There will be
