Thi' hoiii ii'r tlie sp»>elal order—the bill f.-(ablirl'inc Ibilu' county—having arrived, th> clerk ar 12 o’clock began reading thp report from the commit- \f'. \ favorable report was made by the ctH^itnirti'e on cotmties, cities and town?’. wit!i a minority report signed b> S' liatoi i I’harr, Gardner, Bassett, 'I'hoine aid Cari)cnier. After the hearing last week the committee stood II to The clerk had hardly started refidim; before Senator Brown moved that finthc'r reading of the bill be dispens-ed with. Senator Bassett wanii d to hear it read, whereupon Senator Pharr jocularly moved that the matter be re-referred with instruc tions to the meml)ers of the commit tee road it. Senator Cobb also w'ant- cd to hear it read, but Senator Brown’s motion to suspend the rules and dispense with the reading prevail ed. Then after the senate had listen ed for the next two hours to the Kpeeches of senators representing both sides of the question, a vote was taken and the bill rstablishing the county passed Fecond reading by a vote of 27 to 13 and to-.)k its i»lace on the calen dar. The minoiity report had just been turned down by e.xactly this vote. The first speech was made by Sen ator Cobb, of Robeson, w'ho opposed the formation of Hoke county, pre senting his cUiims in a half hour speech which he read from manuscrip He gave statistics to show that Hoke county, if established would be anoth er one of the state’s pauper counties and urged the senators to vote against the bill. Senator .McLaughlin, of Cumberland, was the next speaker and ho also pre sented figures in support of his con tentions that Hoke county should be established and declared that the new county had wonderful possibill- tleJ^ and that its property would en hance in value. He referred to the great inconvenience to which the peo- j)le of the remote sections are sub jected by reason of the distance to the county seat and of the hardships they suffered in this respect. He said Hoke would have a property valuation of about $3,000,000 and a population of about 9,000 people. Senator Thome, one of the signers of the minority report, spoke in oppo sition to the county and said it would be a burden on the state, causing it to make up ft deficit of at least $2,100 bchool purposes alone. He said that at the committee hearing it was brought out that no one living in Rob eson county within the territory to be embraced by Hoke was more than six miles from a railroad and that if the fichedtiles were not satisfactory the corporation commission had the pow er to require the railroads to improve them. Senator Martin, of Buncombe, said that after having heard all of the evi dence submitted he had definitely con cluded that these people were justly entitled to a new county and that the state ought not to withhold from them their right and urgent need for a bet ter arrangement. He said that after Hoke is created it will leave Cumber land and Robeson two of the largest counties in the state. Senators Baggett, of Harnett, and Hicks, of Granville, made strong*ap peals in behalf of the new county and the concluding argument was made by Senator Bassett, of Edgecombe, who said the proposed territory of Hoke county does not include enough peo ple and has not a sufficient amount of wealth to justify the state in forming a new county. He declared that the prime motive for the movement was a desire of Raeford to be a county seat, and in conclusion he gave figures showing the comparative representa tion in the lower house of the general assembly. Immediately after taking the vote the senate at 2:30 o’clock adjourned until 11 o’clock Wednesday. THE HOUSE—TUESDAY-TWENTY- EIGHTH DAY. The house convened at 10 o’clock. Speaker Dowd presiding. Prayer w'as offered by Pastor H. M. North, of Ed- enton Street Methodist church. Petitions a&king that near-beer be prohibited in this state were presented by Representatives Kent, of Caldwell: Kodwcll, of Wilson; Livingston, of Polk: Smith, of Caswell; Perrj", or PerQuimans; Wall, of Rockingham; Spainhour, of Burke: Grier, of Meck lenburg; Marshall, of Surry; Roberts, of Btincombe: Taylor, of Hertford, ana Ray. of Northampton.

Important Bills From Committees. Bill lo have the stat^ instead of Raleigh pay the costs of the prosecu tion of the Standard Oil Company in the Raleigh police court for violation of the state anti-trust law% in which the prosecution failed, was reported from the finance committee unfavora bly, sending it to the legislative ‘graveyard." There was^ also unfav orable report for the Ewart resolu tion for the investigation of the con duct of Trusts in North Carolina. And of tlie Quickel bill to relieve railroad employes of misdemeanor in working over time under the 16-hour law'. And to provide engineering assist ance for counties in road construction.

Income Tax Special Order. The Ewart resolution to ratify the federal amendment to the constitution for income tax came up and was dis^ cussed at length, the bill to the same effect already passed by the senate be ing finally taken from committee and passed on second reading in its »tead. The vote was 93 to 6, those opposing it being Dillard, of Cherokee; John son, of Orange; Buck, Miring, Stubbs, and Thompson. Dillard of Cherokee, lodged objection to final reading and the bill went back to the calendar to await passage on final reading at another day. Leading up to the vote Ewart re viewed events leading up to the in come tax measure. He said-all other great countries have adopted the in come tax and in this country the bulk of the wealth of this country is held by 3,000 persons and corporations and it is right that these should be made to pay on their incomes. It was on objection by Ray, of Macon, to voting on the Ewart resolution that a motion by Doughton was adopted to take the senate bill from committee and pass It as a substitute. Ewart said he would gladly vote for either. Dough ton asked all democrats to support the bill. Opposition to the bill seemed to hinge on the possibility of a con struction that would provide for in come tax against holders of state bonds. Doughton contended that this would not be the case and that the members of congress are looking out for the interest of their states in this and other matters as they pertain to THE Charlotte B. & L.

VAN NESS, Pres, WILLIS BROWN, Sec & Treas. Attoraeys: T. C. Gutherie, Herriot Clarkson the movement to establish an income tax. Sheriffs and Blockade Stills. The bill by Dillard to exempt Chero kee county from the state-wide act of 1909 that allows sheriffs $20 each for distilleries seized came up and Dillard, of Cherokee, made a valiant fight for his bill. He charged that in his coun ty deputy sheriffs have collected from the county not less than $1,800 or $2,- 000 in fees for smashing old pots an« such and repi'esenting them to be stills seized. He asserted that for two years past there had not really been more than tw’o blockade distil leries in the county. The bill w-as opposed by Spainhour, Ross and Hoffler and others, on the ground that the liquor traffic commit tee is now preparing a bill designed to give relief from abuses of the 1909 act. Stroup, of Gaston, offered an amendment to exempt Gaston coun ty also. A motion to postpone action was defeated, 45 to 26. It looked as if the bill might pass. Speaker Dowd called Ray, of Macon, to the chair and spoke in favor of de ferring action until the liquor traffic committee reports its bill to overcome the abuses complained of by Dillard in Cherokee. He asked for the defeat of the Dillard bill if it went to a vote. There was no reason, he said, for exempting Cherokee or Gaston any more than any other counties and that it is necessary for the s-ame class of officers to be charged in each coun ty with the enforcement of the prohib ition law's. Dillard insisted that he w'as as much a prohibitionist as any member, includ ing the speaker. He w'anted his bill pas'sed. How'ever, he finally agreed to have his bill held up until Friday to await the action of the liquor traffic committee. Bills Passed Final Reading. Incorporate Woodville. Incorporate Maxton, Alma and Southbound Railway Company. Allow Fararville to Issue bonds. Allow' Shelby to erect and operate an electric plant. Allow Durham to issue bonds for floating debt and other purposes. Repeal the Big Ivey Creek Saw Dust Law. For the relief of all sheriffs and tax collectors for the years 1908, 1909 ana 1910.

Amend the divorce law of 1907 so that in cases of divorce for separa tion 10 years where there are no children,,.the parties to the proceed ing need not live for ten years in the same state.

There are but three elements in successful adver tising, viz: securing attention; having SOMETHING to offer; telling the truth about it. I’ve never knowingly misrepresented my offerings, and I never tender that in which 1 haven’t the utmost confidence. As to getting attention and securing business: with but one head, two hands, and a pair of clumsy feet, I don’t see how I can do much more th^n at present. I work day and night and have two practical helpers, the latest tools, up-to-date systems, and still I’m sawing wood when I should be sleeping. • THE NEW SERIES IS STILL OPEN Boys, and it almost makes me weep to see how the people want the real thing.
