Four others still opposed the Con stitution at the time, and North Caro lina and Rhode Island held out against it until after Congress had been elected and organized and the government was in operation under President Washington. In Providence, R. 1., a July 4 cele bration was broken up by 1,000 men led by a justice of the Supreme Court, who forced the citizens to omit from the ceremonies anything favor able to the Constitution. July 14, 1808—M. de Grandpre and M. Le Pique fought the most unique duel on record. The latter when chal lenged to fight with blunderbusses in balloons floating over the Tuileries in Paris. The firing began when they were half a mile up and 80 feet apart. De Grandpre’s first shot put a ball through Le Pique’s balloon, sent his adversary crashing to death. Le Pi que second had to be with him in the balloon; he was killed, too.

When was Asheville incorporat ed? 4. When did North Carolina first spend any money on railroads in the State? 5. Who was responsible for North Carolina’s pure food law? 6. What did Governor Burrington threaten to do to those who opposed him? ANSWERS 1. The 1930 census gave North Car olina 65 persons per square mile. In 1880 it was 28.7, and in 1900 it was 38.9. New Jersey has 537.8; District of Columbia 7,852.7; the British Em pire, 504.7. 2. A minority had no power to transact any business at all, not even to adjourn. In the governor was vest ed the power to prorogue, or adjourn the assembly until the next day, or until other members arrived. Under the constitution of today a minority may adjourn from day to day. 3. The legislature in 1797 incor porated the village, then known as Morristown, and gave it the name of Asheville. The town was established fcy t John Burton, who had been given a grant of 200 acres of land. He plan ned and laid out the town into 482 lots The first lot sold for twenty shillings, about $2.50. 4. The legislature in 1830-31 incor porated the Cape Fear and Yadkin, to build a road from Fayetteville to Beattie’s Ford on the Yadkin, via Salisbury; and the North Carolina Central, to build from Beaufort to Raleigh and westward. The State did not propose to take any stock in these but did provide for the expenditure of $4,000 for making surveys of each of the routes. In these surveys during 1832 the sum of $7,022.46 was spent. I 5. The law was advanced in the | legislature of 1899 bjf S. L. Patterson, J commissioner of Agriculture, of Cald | well county. 6.

It was claimed that he said, “that if he ever got back to North Carolina as governor again he would be the destruction of all those who aided in his removal.” fIOHSENSE CfO&ss I’LL V T>o- SIW VoU * Jr » LOVK- -Twe.

Lord Northcliffe, the British news paper tycoon who headed the British war omission over here, said: “I trust the United States will not make the censorship blunder that England made. England was kept in the dark for nearly three years. I hope that America may permit her newspapers and magazines to be absolutely frank about what is going on. It is as im portant for the nation to know the worst as it is for a nation to know best.” IN.WASWNGTON ■ WHAT IS UNITED STATEsVnATOR ****** Although there has been no let-up in committee consideration of new farm legislation, labor standards, Federal reorganization and numerous other matters, in preparation for con gressional action once the proposal to reorganize the judiciary is out of the way, the latter measure is now the highlight of widespread interest. As this is being written, opponents of court changes are presenting their case. By the time this is published a vote in the Senate may be near. However, developments are coming so rapid that the subject must he left to the daily press and the radio which are keeping the public inform ed on the more significant trends. This opens the way for timely men tion of a subject of unusual interest to those unfamiliar with the daily movements of their members of Con gress. In other words, the senatorial day. The senator’s day begins at vary ing hours. I have seen members of the Senate headed for their offices as ear ly as six in the morning. I have had visitors knocking on my own door as early as seven. But by nine o’clock from ten to twenty people are usually awaiting interviews, and the num ber increase up to noon. Some have appointments and others await their turn. The majority are hopeful of as sistance in securing jobs and all feel that their demands can be met. To these daily interviews is added any where from one to several hundred letters, post cards, and circulars, the majority requiring immediate atten tion. As attention Is given to visitors and mail, telephone calls add to time required. Many people believe that the pur pose of Congress convening at noon is to allow members to have the morn ing free. Such is not the case. The av erage member of Congress is on sev eral committes. These committees meet during the morning hours. It is the time when hearings are held on important legislation and when com mittee members confer on reports to he made to their respective bodies, Senate, or House, as the case may bo. And the Congress functions by com mittees, the prestige of an individual member being largely based on his rank on committees. The new member begins, always, at the bottom on a committee list and mjoves upward over a period of years to the coveted chairmanships. Senators, and representatives as well, unless they have some impor tant or pressing appointment in their offices, go direct from committee rooms to the floor of the Senate or House. All endeavors to .be present for the roll call. Shortly after twelve, congressional pages begin the daily trek from re ception rooms to the wells of the Sen ate and House, with calls for mem bers. Constituents and even strang ers want time for interviews. Unless the business on the floor is of ex treme importance, the interviews are granted. They result in every con ceivable request. Some are merely friendly calls. When free from duties in the com mittee room or on the floor of office, the member must make departmental calls. Advice is sought on pending Federal appointments, contracts of interest to the congressional mem ’ber’s state, and perhaps some parti cular phase of government activity in which the member is interested. And while attending to these missions the member must be in constant com munication with his office with re gard to telegrams and telephone calls. Not the least of the time-taking de mands, is the necessity for short chats with numerous persons encoun tered by a member of Congress when away from his office. Upon completion of the daily ses sion, then comes the time for read ing and signing mail, answering tele grams, dictation to stenograpehrs— always interrupted by telephone calls and visits —sometimes running into darkness. Additional telephone calls and tele grams come well into the night, and start again early the following morn ing. It is all a part of the senatorial day. It requires patience, energy and an understanding of people. And the real friend of a congressional mem ber is the person who understands the press of the daily routine and realize the strain it imposes on an individual. The time required for writing and making speeches, as well as weighing the importance of various invitation • to speak, is another chapter. A congressman has written a book about himself. That’s something new. Most congressmen don’t waste time writing—they just tell us about them selves. Sta§djh£s riEDMONT LEAGUE Team W. L. Pet.

Originally an open date in the Bull schedule, President Paul Florence arranged to bring the Hor nets here to make up a game post poned by i ain and give the Bull fans a Sabbath attraction. The game will be called at 3 o'clock. Booking of the extra date gives the Bulls a run of 11 consecutive games in their own enclosure, for on July 19 the Norfolk Tars open a regular three game series. They are followed by the Portsmouth Cubs, who will visit the city for four days, winding up with another Sunday engagement on July 25. The Norfolk clan then returns for three more games. This is the longest borne stand of the season for the Bulls, and they expect to pick up considerable ground in their drive to get in the upper bracket of the league race, which will enter them in the fall Shaughnessy series for the Governors’ cup. pSSisiltfFß UIDOUAR 1 Mb vJbSB I STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 1 iiilt * I*aii 81 *«» $o proof J IfplP iCopyright 1937 Lincoln Inn Distilling Co..

ELON ALUMNI WILL TALK OVER COACH Elon College, July 13 —President L. E. Smith has announced a meeting of the alumni for July 16 at 8 o’clock at which time the coaching situation will be discussed. While the final se lecting of a. Coach will be left in the hand of the Board of Trustees, Pres ident Smith is anxious that the Alum ni discuss the matter and make what ever recommendations they desire to the Board of Trustees who will meet right away. Coaches D. C. “Peahead” Walker and Ellis Fysal have accepted work at Wake Forest College which leaves Elon to select men for both positions, head coach and assistant. The fact that the head coach is supposed to be able to handle all three major sports causes the field of eligibility to be very limited. The assistant coach helps with football and has charge of boxing and wrestling, and intra-rural sports.
