Usually the severest critics of t legislative bodies are those who se- t lent some particular acts of legisla.- 7 tioii which do not meet with their ap proval. They berate the law-makers ( accordingly, saying nothing of the < many other acts-whydi are manifestly wise /and just and fair-. While it. is t not contended that, unqualified approv al should be given the work of the last J i* General Assembly, certainly it can j lie said with truth that no more for- ] ward looking body has ever assem bled in tho halls of the State eapitol. } p I desire as briefly as I can to men tion some of the principal luws enact- i ed. First, T wish to refer to some Io- ( cal measures in which my readers are .i more closely and directly interested. The most important local legislation i enacted was the bill establishing a Itoad Commission for this county. < " This law goes into effect June 1, 1923. and the three commissioners named i are Thomas 11. Webb. George. S. Kluttz and John W. Cress. T think j this ran excellent personnel, and evi- j deuce has already come to light that j Cabarrus County will have a Road j • Commission which will function prop- { rely and efficiently. The members of < the Commission are progressive, fair- t minded and men of sound judgment.- ' I believe the tax-payers of the conn- j ty will get the maximum of results out of the taxes they pay into ihe j treasury for road purposes. ( The lmv provides that if a vacua- « 3 cv shall occur on the Commission, tin* remaining members shall elect the sue- , cessor for the* unexpired term, and in case they fail to do this, then the 1 Governor shall appoint. Tho Legisla l ture is to till all vacancies as tho re spective terms expire. Mr. Kluttz is appointed for two, Mr. Webb for four, , and Mr. Cress for six years. The Commission will have active and entire control of the public roads Kind bridges of the county. They may employ a highway superintendent and such engineers and overseers as they may deem necessary to carry out the l purposes of the act. The members of the Commission are each to receive as’compensation $5.00 a day when in attendance upon regu lar or called meetings, rind shall be paid for such other - services as may be fixed by the hoard. County convicts will be used in road construction and maintenance as at present, and convicts from other coun ties may be used. The tax rate for road purposes is to be not less than 20 cents, nor more than 30 cents on reial and personal property. The roads and"highways of the coun ty shall have a right of way of forty feet, except when* tiiis is impractica ble, and the minimum shall he. 25 feet. ‘f The above are the main provisions pi the Road Commission bill. The bill to prohibit the possession and ppemtion of whut are known as |* gambling slot machines had quite a checkered career before it filially pass ed applying to Cabarrus and Rowau Counties. I introduced it in the - House and it promptly passed its sev | eral readings. When it came before the Senate', that body, evidently thluk -- Ing it was a good thing, voted to make it statewide in its'application. It was gent to the House in this slmpp. but I • several members objected to its ap plication to their respective counties, f a conference committee w ap pyinted. This committee met, and j with the consent of the Rowan and Cn j barrus members, it was agreed that the bill apply to only Rowan and Ca-( I harms. In the meantime the informa tion was received that*the Sheriff of Rowan did not want his county in cluded. saying that he would not al low these machines rpotaoeteeslueliw 4ow these machines to operate in Row an's territory anyway. After some consultation this objection was remov ed and as tho bill passed both houses, it applies to Cabarrus and Rowan. A bill was passed fixing the salary of the Sheriff of this county at $3,- 500.00, and that of the Treasurer at $1,000.00. This was in accordance with the unanimous action of the Democratic convention of 1920, and the Cabarrus representatives had no op tion in the mutter. Whatever may have been their individual opinions as to the wisdom of this, they had no al ternative but to carry out the will of the Democrats as expressed in their bi-enunial convention. This was simply re-enactmeHt of this law. It was passed by the Gen eral Assembly of 1921, but due to an. error in printing it was necessary to l*tss it again. Senator Hartsell secur ed its passage in the Senate in 1921, but when it went to the House. Mr. Williams, then the representative from this county, objected to it and offered an amendment placing the Sheriff’s salary nf $4,500.00. and that of the Treasurer at $1,500.00. The Senate refused to concur in this amend ment and a conference committee w.as appointed. The committee’s report be came a law. However, in printing the laws, in some: way Mr. Williams' amendment \yas included, and one par agraph of the law fixed tin* salaries at $4,500.00 and $1,500.00 respectively, while tho nexl paragraph fixed them at $3,500.00 and $1,000.00. The City Limits were extended so as to'take in thirteen families living on the territory north of the Gibson Mill. The salaries of city officials were in creased as follows, in amending the charter of the City of Concord: Mayor, not less than $1,200 nor more than SI,BOO per year. Police Justice, from not less than S6O nor more than $75 per month, to not less than SIOO nor more than $l5O per month. Clerk rind Treasurer, SI,OOO per yea r. Board of Aldermen. S2OO pm - year, with members of finance and street committees receiving an additional SIOO per year. City Attorney, not less than $1,200 nor more than $1,500 a year. None of these salaries are to he tWnged until May 1, 1923. Now, briefly as to some of the more important statewide legislation: Os course, the most important bill passed was the highway bond issue, providing an additional $15,000,000 for the continuance of the present great road building program, making a to tal bond issue for this purpose of $65.- 000.000, and the levying of an addi tional tax of 2c per gallon on gasoline. The following are some of the other important measures passed: Permanent improvement bond issue for State institutions and the comple tion of-work now underway, totalling $10,667,500. Appropriation hill a total of $14,000,000 for the maintenance of State institutions and deportments for the bi-oiiiiialeriod. The Revenue Act, re-enacting the 1921 schedule of license and privilege taxes, and the 1921 schedule of taxes on incomes and inheritances, and. also exempting stocks in foreign corpora tions held by citizens of this State from ad valorem taxation. The Machinery Act," providing for the valuation of all property under the direction of the county commissioners and strengthening the power of the State Revenue Commission to maintain a uniformity of values between the counties. The Townsend educational bill, pro viding the repeal of the mandamus to compel the levy of taxes, and requiring the comity boards of education to sit jointly with the county commissioners in preparing the county school budget. Power of the board to contract debt by limited,to the amount of the budget. Mothers’ Aid Bill, appropriating $50,000, a year to he matched by the counties for aid to worthy mothers de prived of the support of their Ims bauds. Permitting two or more adjoining counties to build county homes to gether. Providing for State-wide eradication of ticks by the counties with State and Federal aid. The Grist bill submitting to popular vote the question of issuing $2,509,000 in bonds for loans on homes to veter ans of the World War. Turlington codification of the State liquor laws to establish conform ity of State laws to the Vblstead Act. The “Lost Province” railroad bill, pledging the credit of the State not to exceed $10,000,000 for building n rail road across the Blue liidfee mountains ■ into Allegbahy and Ashe counties. ■ 4 Three constitutional amendments, providing for the (1) limitation of the State debt to 7 1-2 per cent, of the assessed property valuation: (2) the inviolability of sinking funds to re tire the State debt : and (3J to exempt from taxation one-half farm and resi dential property under mortgage and one-half of such mortgage, not to ex ceed SB,OOO. Raising the age of consent from 14 to 16, but amended to provide that vio-i lations by persons less than 18 shall be punished as misdemeanors. Abolition of the criminal insane (le partment of the State Prison, and pro viding for a sanatorium for the treat ment of tubercular criminals. The ‘‘Stop, Look, and Listen” hill was passed. This provides that all mo torists iare required to stop fifty feet, from 'll grade crossing of the railroad before passing over it, except in incor porated towns. A of $lO lie large number of pure bred stock he sees, and that milk is being produced in ever increasing quantity is indicated by the irfany herds of cows one sees on a trip through the Piedmont Section. The same business impetus one finds in North Carolina is in evidence in this city. Some parts of South Caro lina have not yet recovered from the business depression, but in this ’Tex tile Center” there is every evidence of a sound business condition. As in Con cord, Charlotte, Gastonia and other cities in that section of North Carolina, real estate is increasing in value daily, and new suburbs; are being developed with rather surprising regularity. | The textile interests here are pros j pering also, and as in North < urolinci they are passing on their increased profits to the textile employes. One of the largest groups of mills of this county recently announced a wage in crease of 10 per cent., and in Spartan burg and other nearby counties a sim ilar increase was granted. Trading in mill stocks Is rather active here again, with some of the favorite stock bring ing prices close to that quoted in 1010 and 1920. The trading is not as wild as in war times, but it continues act ive, and the mills are paying good divi dends. So far there has been no se rious clash* between the mill turners and the employes, and a good spirit is in evidence. Near Greenville is located Wildwood Park, said to be the only mountain re port in the United. States to he built and developed entirely for the Vise of cotton mils operatives and bosses. The park is on the highway between Green ville and Hendersonville and is owned by the Woodside brothers, owners and managers of the Woodside Mill and the Easley Cotton Mills. Greenville Is rapidly coming to the front as the “convention city” of South Carolina. Several important conven tions have been held here recently, others are to be held here during the year, and at present some of the big gest good roads advocates in the Unit ed States are here attending two good roads conventions. The conventions are the Bankhead National Highway Association, and the United States Good lioads Association. The conventions are meeting jointly for all public sessions, but are con ducting separate meetings for particu lar business projects that come before each. Some of the notables here for the convention are Governor Thomas O. McLeod, of South Carolina; J. A. Rountree, of Birmingham, director of the Bankhead Association; North Car olinas* own Beneban Cameron, Presi dent of the Bankhead Association; for mer United States Senator Townsend, of Michigan; and Mrs. Felton, of Geor gia, the only woman to hold a seat in the United States Senate. Hundreds of delegates from all parts of the Unit ed States are attending the sessions of the two conventions. One can travel in an auto, from North Carolina to Greenville in any kind of weather. The roads Sunday, after the rains of Friday and Satur day, were in almost perfect condition and no dangerous points greeted the motorists. While South Carolina is contracting for no paved roads, she has excellent sand clay roads in most sec tions of the State, and her highway de partment is keeping the roads dragged here as the North Carolina Commis sion does in the Old North State. W. M. S. smmmmurnmmm t ANOTHER FOOLISH FAD. It doesn’t take much to arouse the interest of many people. Just let some undertaking smack of the unusual, and we find a flock of people willing and anxious to take a chance at it. The more foolish the fad, the more persons there are who are willing to to take a chance. The latest fad now is non-stop danc ing. Some young lady started the mad fashion by dancing continuously for IS hours. The next day another dance head went about 20 hours. The fad has grown until some Texas woman danced Ho hours without stopping. Just why these young womeu should bike the notion to try this dancing stunt is hard to understand. Why they are willing to take a chance on dizzy beads, swollen legs ami tired feet just to satisfy a desire to beat someone else or gain a little notoriety is beyond ns. A young woman in Baltimore, in en deavoring to beat the record, danced until she became suddenly insane. ■‘This.” says one newspaper, “is not surprising to the public, a majority of which thinks that more than apt the contestant didn’t lane far to go in the first place.” LET THEM ALONE. We hope the public will let Mr. and Mrs. Max Oser alone now. The Amer ican Kiri and the Swiss riding master were married several days ago and there is no reason to believe their ro mance is different from hundreds of others. Just because the bride hap pens to be the grand-daughter o£ John i). Rockefeller, and the groom a sonage of less means is no reason why they should not be married. We do not think it is best for 18-year-old girls to marry men more than 40 years of age, but it is being done every day, and nothing is said of the majority of the. cases. The principals in this romance are prominent but that does not mean they are not human, and neither does it give people the right to pry into their private affairs. There are hundreds of people right now who believe the couple will not be happy and they will tie disappointed if the newspapers in the near future do not carry an ac count of a separation or a divorce. They have this feeling because they are always looking for trouble and be cause they a scandal when no scandal is to be seen. “Play Ball” has been Sounded by the blue uniformed “umps” in every part of the United States ami baseball |is ruling supreme again in this coun try. From every section of the coun try edme indications of another big season for the national pastime, and attendance records in every league are expected to be shattered by the hun gry fans during 1923. Old Man Dope has given way to the Box Scores and Batting Averages and thousands of people will find recreation during the summer by watching these trained ath letes. Baseball is more popular than ever in the United and we are glad. Recreation is fine for everyone, and baseball offers it to the public as does no other sport. Mr. Armstrong Will Speak in Durham Sunday. Rev. J. Frank Armstrong, county chairman of the Near East Relief, has accepted an invitation to deliver two or more addresses in Durham next Sunday. April 22. in the interest of Near East Relief. The occasion is Field Day for tin* city of Durham and Durham county. Dr. S. K.
