What Do You
Know About
North Carolina?
By FRED 11. MAY
1. What is the -result of exchange
of citizens between, the states of
New York and North Carolina?
2. What leadership did North Car
olina take among all states in 1849
concerning practicing physicians?
3. What was the Connor Act ol
1885? . 41
4. How many children are in the
orphanages of North Carolina.’
5. How many livestock was each
inhabitant of Edenton allowed to
keep within the town?
6. What monopoly did North Car
olinians have on the offices of the
Twenty-Fifth Congress?
ANSWERS.
1. North Carolina has lost heavily.
There are 43.284 persons born in
North Carolina now living in the
State of New York, as against the
5,340 New Yorkers who have moved
their citizenship to North Carolina.
2. It was the first state to establish
by law a board of medical examin
ers, and to require all doctors to be
examined and licensed by this board
before practicing their profession.
3. The Connor Act was introduced
in the legislature by Henry Groves
Connor, senator from Wilson county.
It was an act requiring deeds to be
registered, placing an unregistered
deed on practically the same basis as
an unregistered mortgage. Up to that
time the lack of laws protecting titles
to property had kept foreign capital
from coming into the State.
4. A total of approximately 5,500.
5. An act of the general assembly
of 1745 allowCa each inhabitant to
keep six head erf sheep, one cow and
one horse for pa.ch lot owned. This
number for each inhabitant was al
lowed to run at large.
6. The President of the United
States was Andrew Jackson. James
K. Polk was speaker of the House,
William R. King President pro tern
of the Senate and Asbury Dickens
was secretary of the Senate, all
North Carolina born men.
Block Effort
At Switching
Test Farms

In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By LYNN NISBET
Raleigh, Starch 10.—The strategy
of Larry Burgin, a dairy farmer who
is serving his second term as repre
sentate from Henderson county,
blocked efforts, of a srpaJX„but very
determined grftiip or easterners* to
override Ike. committee on agricul
ture and by Special legislative' act
remove the six test farms from the
State Department of Agriculture and
put them under administration of the
central experiment station, which is
essentially an adjunct of State Col
lege.
Representative John F. White, of
Chowan, introduced a bill effecting
the transfer and under suspension of
the rules had it placed on the calen
dar and set as a special order for
next Tuesday. This was done so
quickly that it was several seconds
before a large number of members
realized what had happened. Then
Burgin got busy and rounded up
sunport for a motion to have the bill
referred to the committee on agri-

The only thing that doesn’t become smaller when

HENDERSON. (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH FRIDAY; MARCH 10, 1039
culture. Discussion of that motion
brought formally to the floor of the
House for the first time the almost
weird story of procedure in this mat
ter.
There hadn’t been a bill offered
about it before today, but the issue
was raised at an early meeting of
th ecommittee on agriculture. Half
a dozen public hearings have been
held, at all of which Dean Schaub
appeared in his tri-une capacity of
dean, director of extension and act
ing director of the experiment sta
tion, and asked that the farms and
the money to run them be transfer
red to his jurisdiction. A sub-com
mittee was appointed to study that
particular question, along with others
concerning the agricultural program,
and finally a “sub-committee” was
named. This last group of five came
to be dubbed “the super-suds” com
mittee.
The super-suds group reached a
compromise agreement, but it was
not acceptable to the sub-committee.
The super-suds had three men from
central eastern counties and two
from piedmont counties, with no re
presentation at all from the western
half of the State. The full sub-com
mittee has representatives from all
sections. The full committee would
not go along with the small eastern
group. With commendable consis
tency and tenacity, that small east
ern group is staying right with the
determination to move the test farms
even though the middle and western
part of the State doesn’t want them
transferred. Failing in committee,
sub-committee, and sub-sub-commit
tee, the group took its cause to the
whole membership. Alertness of the
Henderson dairyman blocked the
smooth running of the plan to get
House action without committee con
sideration.
Mr. White denied that he had any
idea of trying to take advantage of
anybody. He said that he didn't be
lieve the committee was ever going
to report, and he wanted action. Mr.
Everett, from Halifax, who served
on all the committees, said the mat
ter had been considered “for 30
years” and that there was no need
to send it back to a committee. Mr.
Burgin was supported by Represen
tative Mull and other westerners who
voiced some resentment at the tactics
employed to do by indirection what
the easterners had been unable to
do through parliamentary procedure,
and the bill was taken from the
calendar.
There was some difference of op
inion around the Capitol just after
that vote as to who had really won a
victory. General belief is that the
White bill would have passed the
House and been killed very dead in
the Senate. That would have pre
vented further consideration of the
same subject matter this session and
would have assured two years more
of the present situation. It may be
that the opponents of transferring
the test farms did not win as much
as they thought they were winning
in getting the White bill referred
to a committee and keeping the is
sue alive.
Barrett Says
Industry Has
Shown Guilt
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
By LYNN NISBET
Raleigh, March 10.—Declaring that
the proposed wage-hour legislation
made no specific charges against any
industry or business, but that twenty
three industries had rushed to Ra
leigh to plead guilty of exploiting la
bor, by saying that enactment of the
bills would ruin them, James F. Bar
rett, southern director of publicity
for the American Federation of La
bor, closed the public hearings on
the bills yesterday.
Proponents of the bills had the
day. Barrett followed State Labor
Commissioner Forrest H. Shuford,
who asked that the principles in
these bills be enacted into law. Mr.
Shuford believes that capital is seek
ing investment in progressive rather
than backward states, and contrasted
development in states with modern
labor laws and those without decent
regulations.
Speaking very briefly byway of
offering moral support, was J. D.
Carter, of Spencer, for the “big four”
railroad brotherhoods. The measure
would not effect them, but he made

Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Tanner were in
Raleigh Saturday afternoon to at
tend “Rio Rita/’ which was shown
at a theatre there.
Elliott Shaw,, salesman connected
with the Henderson Grocery Co.,
it clear that his groups supported
it as a forward step.
Barreti started his two-hour ad
dress with what was almost a parody
on the eleventh' chapter of Hebrews,
long known as the “roll call of the
faithful.” Beginning with Aycock he
named the leaders in North Carolina
thought who had contributed to the
bills under discussion by developing
a social conscience in the State. A
great deal of the credit he gave to
Governor Hoey, who as a mere lad
introduced in the Senate the bill set
ting up the State Department of La
bor, and who in his inaugural ad
dress two years ago declared one
of the objectives of his administra
tion to be progressive legislation in
behalf of labor.
Referring to the pleadings of in
dustry that imposition of minimum
wages and maximum hours as set
out in the proposed bills would bank
rupt many businesses, Barrett said
there was nothing new in this argu
ment. He recalled that 30 years ago,
when he came with others before a
legislative committee and asked that
the maximum hours of women in in
dustry be reduced from 72 to 66 in a
week, that the same plaintive wails
were heard. But the reduction in

Dr. White Eagle, the Indian Chief,
who has been in Henderson for the
past several days introducing and
distributing his medicines, will re

crowds from this and adjoining coun
ties have attended his lectures each

women’s working hours was made,
then again to 60 hours, and to 48
and to 40—and all the while industry
was not only not ruined but actually
prospered more than ever. Surely
some business enterprise will fail,
but it should not be charged up to
the employees when managers prove
to be incompetent. He found signi
ficance in the fact that the larger and
more prosperious merchants didn’t
appear when the less capable ones
opposed the law.
Paying his respects to the Eastern
Carolina Chamber of Commerce,
Barrett said that the sectional at
titude toward legislation had done
more to retard progress in North
Carolina than any other factor. He
quoted Kipling’s “East and West”
and said that the ballad applied ex
actly to North Carolina. Then he ap
pealed to the committee members to
be strong men, to view the State as
a whole, to look not only to the east
and to the west, but also to the great
industrial Piedmont where the boys
and girls from mountains and sea
shore come to find employment.
Those who criticise the South for
lack of progress just don’t know
what they are talking about, he said.
The South has made more actual
progress in the past 75 years than
any other section in the world has
made in the same time, and this pro
posed regulation of wages and hours
would be a long forward step to fur
ther progress.
His final appeal, accented by wip
ing a few tears from his cheek, was
that the members should think of the
working man’s pay envelope not as
holding a few dollars and cents, but
as holding the food and clothing
and medicine and education and en
tertainment of the workman and his
family. The committee was impress
ed, but many of them were not con
vinced.
