THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1921 "Nobody is interested in tho Four teen Points now," remarks a contem porary. It might have added that few manifest much interest in the- Ten Commandments, either. Germany has not yet got to the Soint of demanding that the allies pay er war debt. But give her time. The anti-prohibitionists insist that there is no way to preserve liberty without alochol. Office seekers with a pull missed the opportunity of their lives when Mr. Harding's boat got stuck in the mud. nam MRASTTRF. Raleigh Feb. 16. Combining their, strength with uncertain supporters of the road bill, the opposition to the. Doughton-Connor-Bowie road- mea- sure won out when Representative! Doughton was about to force a test! vote last nignt alter uiree nours oi debate, and by a vote of 63 to 58, the House adjourned without action. Five amendments to the measure, ranging from the Darden proposal to submit the whole matter of further road building in the State to a vote of tho Smd Tuesdav in June, to minor changes in the phrase-' ology were pending before the House, and Representative Doughton, sure of his position, was fighting against the opposition for an adjournment. The battle which broke over the longheralded road bill carrying a fifty million dollar bond issue will be con tinued this morning at 11 o'clock, and the indications are that the General Assembly has set itself to the bitter est fight that has been waged in many sessions. Unlooked for opposition sprang up last night. Later. The good roads bill is passed by the house on its second reading by a vote of 91 to 20. and Governor Mor rison is gratified. CLEMENT MEASURE GETS UN FAVORABLE REPORT. Raleigh, Feb. 16. Despite the pleadings of J. W. Bailey, Dr. Clar ence Poe, Dr. Mary Martin Sloop and Miss Elizabeth Kelly, the House Com mittee on Election laws turned a deaf ear to the Clement bill to provide for privacy in voting in North Carolina, and reported the measure but unfav orably, the count standing eight to four. Miss Clement will offer a min ority report on the floor of the House this morning. The measure, drawn by the League of Women voters, provided that all persons should take their ballots and' go alone with them to the voting booth and there mark them as their desires instructed them. Penalties were pro vided for any who offered ballots to any voter, or urged the support of any candidate or ticket at the polls. The bill was among the first offered in the House, and has been pending before the committee for several weeks. With more than 20 amendments attached, the Fordney emergency tariff bill passes .he senate by a vote of 43 to 30. Harding is understood to have virtually decided upon "seven of his ten cabinet appointments, the port folios still open being those of navy, commerce and labor. Baxter Hildebran pleads guilty in Burke county court to a charge of manslaughter in connection with the Killing of Glenn Lippard. FUNERAL MRS. SARAH ANN WISE. The funeral and burial service of Mrs. Sarah Ann Wise was conducted Friday afternoon at Bethpage church, by Rev. W. J. Roof of Lincolnton Lu theran church in the -absence of the Bethpage pastor. Sarah Anna Wise (nee) Wyant was born Jan. 23rd., 1854 and depart ed this life Feb. 10th., 1921, aged 67 years and 18 days. She was baptiz ed into the Lutheran faith in infancy and in early youth was confirmed by the late A. J. Fox. She remained a member of the Lutheran Church until death. On Nov. 25th, 1874, she was married to Cornelius Lorenzo Wise and for more than 46 years was a faithful help meet to him. This union was blessed with eleven children, nine now livin", two dead. Besides her husband and children, she leaves 33 grandchildren, and one great grand child, one brother and a host of other relatives and friends. She died happy in the faith she had lived and confessed tested against the proposed increase in rates and appointed a committee to act with the committee named at a mass meeting of Hickory subscrib ers last week to go before the state corporation commission and resist the increase.

Nearly 300 farmers members of 17 rural telephone companies con necting with the Hickory telephone Company met at the Chamber of Commerce, Hickory, Saturday, pro- Prohibition Enforcement Measure May Lead To Ad Testificandum Proceedings. Raleigh Feb. 16. The proposed prohibition enforcement measure, which will probably go before the Leg islature with the combined backing of the various prohibition agencies and Governor Cameron Morrison, will comprise the remodelled Cooke bill, lodging enforcement powers in the hands of the Attorney-General of the State. Governor Morrison has frequently maintained that he could do more in the way of enforcement of the liquor laws of the State with five lawyers and a John Doe proceeding than scor es of rural police. In a conference with friends of prohibition, Governor Mor rison stated his views and in the re formed measure that will be offered m committee b" Representative Cook as a substitute for his own measure these view will be embodied. Authority for the dispensing of liquor by drug stores will be elimi nated from the substitute bill. In the main, it will maintain the revenue features of the old bill, stipulating $25 as an item on the bill of costs for violation of the whiskey prohibition laws, except manufacturing, which will require a tax of $50. This monev. with the proceeds from the sale of confiscated property used in violation of the law, will come into the State Treasury, except 25 per cent, which will go to the officers making the ar rest or the seizures. The State's part will be used to maintain a State en forcement system. The enforcement powers will be lodged in the Attorney-General with authority to empley "attorney's, con stables and inspectors," and it is be lieved that the returns from the en forcement will be more than sufficient to make the department self-supporting, but an appropriation of $20,000 will be to put the work on its feet. SALISBURY SPEED COP CHASES CAR 20 MILES ! Salisbury, Feb. 16. Otis Gallimore i Rowan speed cop, made an important ' capture this evening. Just out of Sal ! he began chasing a Studebaker car which was speeding south. Ibe race continued for 20 miles, the racers at ' times going as fast as 80 miles an hcJur. Near Concord the car turned into a country road and had to stop when a bridgeless creek was approached. Two of the three men in the car rah and made their escape. The third, a cripple, giving his name as Sid Parish, and his home as Rock Hill, was arrested. Seven five-gallon tin oil cans filled with whisk -y, were in the car. The outfit was was brought to Salisbury and Parish placed in jail. It does not seem so long ago that Republican in Congress were bitterly denouncing the President for unpre paredness, though he had gone so far as to stump the country in the in terest of a better preparation for the war that looked and proved to be in eventable. Now we find the same Con gressional critics of unpreparedness passing over the presidential veto the joint resolution to reduce the army to 175,000 men, just at the time when the Senate Naval Committee reports in favor of a navy "at least equal to that of any other power" and when the daily newspapers are filled with sensational stories of strained rela tions between this country and Eng land.
