JULY 24, 1913 EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLA TURE. Governor Craig is in his evtrj official act demonstrating tht fact that he proposes to make his administration of the great- est possible gvod in the upbuili - ing of the state. His latent»ffi cial act is to call an extraord. nary session of the General As sembly to convene on the 24tl of September to consider th amendments to the stafeconsti tution as proposed by the const: tutional committee. Of equally , great importance will be the further consideration of the mat ter of adjusting the difference between the people of the stat« and the railroads regarding t!.» present discrimination in freigh' rates. For sometime we hav» been£hearing those who were out of sympathy with the movemen' saying that the arguments ol the Freight Rate Associatior were all bluff and bluster anc that when the crisis came the Governor would realize his in ability to accomplish anything through an extra session of tht legislature and would of necess ity let the matter drop. Perhap. those people who have been oi such opinions have never yet realized the depth # of patriotism which has furnished the v frr our Governor's every offijia act. However, even in this ex treme measure which he has been forced to adopt, there is nothing spectacular, but iristeat we read in his call a determine" purpose to exhaust all of th machinery of government which the state can command in orde that we may receive just trea' ment at the hands of the rai roads. From his prociamatioi we take the following: 'Th* negotiations between the repre sentatives of the railroads and the Corporation Commission have not in my opinion resulted in an\ understanding sufficiontly defi nite to delay the cali for the ex tra session. These negotiations will not be interfered with by this call and before the meeting of the General Assembly Sept ember 24th. there is ample time in which to arrive at an agree ment. I earnestly hdpe that there will be amicable adjust ment of our differences witr» the railroads. I cannot do otherwise than submit these questions so vitally affecting the people of North Carolina to their, chosen repre sentatives. " The Governor is still standing by a wise and patriotic policy it showing that "we prefer peac> to war, but war rather than ig nominious peace." FINES FOR CITY GOVERNMENT. We note that the propositio? to so amend the constitution a* to permit municipal government - to appropriate the fines and pen alties which each imposes ha* failed to carry before the com mittee on constitutional amend ments. The contention of tht cities in this matter seems sf just that we have been unabl* to see any reason why the con stitution should not have been sr amended as to permit each'town to appropriate the fines which it collects to the maintainance ol its own school system. The city of Hickory is not only taxing it* citizens to support its own grad ed schools but in addition to thu tax its people also have to con tribute to the general schoo funds, making a dou&le taxatior for school purposes. Further than this the city has to main tain effective governmentafmi' chinery in order that its muntci* pal and the state laws may bt enforced. To maintain this gov ernmental protection costs money and to raise this money means an additional tax burden on its citi zens. Despite this, however, every fine imposed and collected, goes not to the support of thai immediate branch of the govern ment which makes its collefction possible, but is appropriated tu the general school fund. Then again the idea of permitting the cities to use these fines is entire ly in line with our old time view of local self government, and perhaps furnishes U3 with the most striking illustration. Why should the constitutional amend ments committee have seen fit to depart from the principle in this particular case? We feel that l the cities have not been given I the protection to which they are entitled, and hope that there will be some way by which the matter may again be brought up when the legislature . meets iq consider such amendments as ave been proposed, jrst Regimental Band for Hickory. Since the assurance that the Ist. legimental Band of the North Caro na National Gua.d w.ll be disbanded t AshevilL- it is obligatory upon the citizens of Hickory, in keeping pact Tith our sister towns, to try to secure ■.his splendid organization for our city Now it is a foregone conclusion that it .ur citizens will take the right kind ol nterest and go after this with tbeir ac customed bull-d g tenacity, it can bf uao a reality ana not a dream, I would be a great for our towu f .ave surh an organization It will b ; >.iiely made vp of our local talent »hich, in a musical way has been highiy praised both at home an ibroad. Our local band has been ». id to every citizen of our town /nen it went into the state of Soutl •rolira a few years ago it receivec •ie praise of everyone who heard it tod we allow such talent to be wabt ed, especially when such an opportuni is at our d:or? The band is sup ru-d in the major part by the state ;1 of the instruments and uniforms aether with $BOO annually is giv-i the band by the state. The Adjj taut Gen ral fth St tt d es not think at $3OO is ample to supply all the eeds of the band for a year so he ys that he will authorize the organi ation tor the town that pledges the est support. The only requirements rat the state asks is that the band --company the regiment to its en vmpment each summer during which mo all expenses are paid. The re ;ainder of the year is at their disposal U convenient seasons concert town* Tould be arranged for different parts of .he state, which aside from the mone tary compensation the membeis would eceive is one of the greatest adver isements Hickory could have. In order to have this there is just one thing the citizens of Hickory musi io—you will have to pledge your sup >ort to the band. It will be small at the utmost, and it will require im mediate action, for Charlotte and Con cord are working hard to get it. So let everyone join in a hearty support of the worthy men who are endeavor ng to get the organization for Hickory in many ways it will mean a great teal for our town. Fail to Get Jury. Waynesville, July 14 - Out of > venire of 75 men not P s*inodf» one could qualify as iuror in the case of the State vs. Nancy Curley, charged with the mu»-de Y o F her orrandchild, Roberta Put nam" last February, and in conse luence Judge Garland S. Ferg»v «on. who is nre c idin" over thif terra of Haywood Superior Court > dered the case to Swain county, where it will be tried at "HP first t»rm. The TC'irlay woman Wt t.h* l home with the child, presumably to take it to the'county h'-»me. If is alleged that she placed it in a hole in a cliff of one of the knobs >f the section, walled it in an i « f t it to die from starvation and exposure. The child was found n such a place several day 3 later ft was the opinion of the physi cians at the lime that the lict'e riil. who was just an infant, had •vpd but a vfry short time afte being exposed. However, senti nent is very strong in the county "or the conviction of 'he parson >r persons who perpetr-ited the ip?n«us crme, and a jury com posed of members who have not expressed or formed an opinion in the case would be hard to find.
