Go way back to 1836 and there is no change In these alternat ing cycles. The Law of Action and Reaction operates continuously and always will.

We can cut off the peaks and fill in the valleys of these cycles only as indi viduals. Collective legislation cannot turn the trick any more than it can stop the flowing and ebbing of the tides.

D4SKtmviLL Raleigh, Dec. b.—The two largest counties in the State in population— Mecklenburg and Forsyth having three representatives ‘'each in the House, are likely to have much less influence in the 1937 House than many smaller counties, due to the fact that none of the six men elected to the .house from these two counties has ever served in a session of the Gen eral Assembly before, it is being pointed out. For this same reason, none of the six representatives fiom these two counties are expected to be named as chairmen of any impor tant committes, due to the fact that the important committee chair manships are always reserved for members with previous legislative ex perience, observers here agree.
