But the Supreme Court of the Edited States declared this Act un ecpstitntional on October 24. Tl is no secret that one of the com pelling motives for the pressure be hind the bill? the heaviest pressrre the President has yet seen fit ex ert' upon Congress- is the desire to lake the wind out of the sails of Sen ator Tluev Long and his ' redistribu tion of wealth program, as well as to head off the menace of the gnat mass of vote; behind the Townsei.d Plan.

General Assembly Unlikely To Alter Prohibition Lawl , i I (By D.aa Tompkins) Despite newspaper talk, at tin1 be ginning of the session, and the reso lution adopted last summer by tin Young Democrats of the State, at the Asheville convention, there seems, at this time, to be little likelihood that the General Assembly will tamper to any great extent with the State's bone-dry laws, or that any serious effort to do so will develop. ]t has been pointed out that there has been a marked increase in the ar rests for drunkenness in North Caro lina, since the 18th Amendment was repealed, and it is believed in some informed quarters, that this is dua largely to trickling, across the" horded of legal liquor from Virginia, to add to our own hoirte-grow'H bootleg varie ties,, from popskuH moonshine clear through bath-tub gin t<? home brew. There are those in the State who are easting Somewhat longing ey?s at the estimated four mill i"'s of dollars in revenue that it '?> w|iil North Carolina mi-;ht get with a i.-pcal or MM'lifin tioii of (tile Turlington Act, and four million ft" lint t-i be sneezed at. On the 'other ham!, it is pointed out thai | the jut pie m. -ant v. Iiat they said wh'n they voted I8\0?!:) majority strong agaiil.st repeal, that conditions in this Stale, are not ami have not grown worse, from a standpoint of drunken ness and drunken driving, as theyj have in reper' *!nles, and that many observers of matters and things, es-J pe-ialiv iieu'.-'i?:ip'*J' and ma-Taxine, writers, who before repeal were string. lv it'id miiiJaiitlv anti-prohibition, are iM 'dniiin'i i-? i * petit themselves that they helped, So di what was italic in repealing ,t be IHih Amendment, and : to 4talk and write with increasing lieldiw.-i on the other side, and that repenl elsewhere has been a disap pointment from a revenue producing standpoint, an.', that ljootlcgging, speakeasies and drinking parties with the young folks have not diminished, as was predicted and believed by many repeal advocates. Even the rev enue that North Carolina was to get from 3.2 beer, about which there was so much ]K?ther in the lastGeiieia? Assembly, has proved to have been greatly overestimated. So, taking it by ami large, with the results else where as the 4 ' by 1 ', and the 185,000 majority as the "large", it is not believed that the present General Ab seinldy will do any major tampering with the North Carolina Sahara laws. Senator A. Hall Johnston, of Bu combe, who has been seriously ill at his hotel room, is recovering, and is expected to be able to attend Senate and committee meetings by next week The Committee on Health approv ed a bill to appropriate $500,00 for the establishment of a tuberculosis sanitorium in Western North Caro lina. It is stated that there are now 200 people on the waiting list for ad mission for treatment. ;/> The revenue bill htfs come out of the committee, and is ready for the House of Representatives to resolve itself into a committee of the whole and go to work on it. That is a long Step toward getting 'the Assembly away from Raleigh and back home be fore corn planting time. Bills introduced: To provide a pension o.->- $5.00 a j month pension for indigent widows and orphans of World War veterans, by levying a tax of $5.00 a month on all unmarried men between 25 and 50, with incomes of $500 a year and more, j and >f the same amount upon unmar ! ried women of the name ages, . with incomes of $1,000 or more.

Harris Comnran -itjr Hospital, tonight, of injuries Mttiie Ruth Bumgarner, 5 year Id daughter of Mr. and Mis. Walter "iumgariier, is in the hospital suffer- j ig from a fractured skull and other -citical injuries, and a man giving ? is name as Hubert Moller, of Atlan is being held in jail here without ~-ond, as a hit and run driver. The- accident occurred in front of ?he Bumgarner home, on Highway No. .0,, just East of the city limits, at uea&r noon yesterday. It is 9tated that Mrs. Bumgarner and her daughter *'ent down to the mail box, which is across the road from their home, and aft|r getting the mail, were awaiting the passing of an automobile, which they Baw approaching from the East, indf that Mrs. Bumgarner was stand ing" beside the mail box with the child near her, about a foot on the ]>avment, on the opposite tridc of the higfet^ay from where the car should have ' ? passed, and that the driver Hwefved to the left, striking the child with- the side of his car. According to witifesses to the tragedy, the driver, won! some 300 feet, stopped and back ed up. Mr. Bumgarner states that his wife- requested the man to take the | child to a hospital, which he is said to hpve refused to do. He then, ac cording ;to Mr. Bnmgtarner, left the scentf. He was later arrested at Chero kee by highway Patrolman Allison, and returned to Sylva, where he was lodged in jail. A Negro, who arrived on the seen'; with an automobile, rushed the child to the hospit 1, where she is receiving medical and feurgieal attention; but her condition is described as being "extremely critical". TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stockbridge) ENTERTAINERS .... rich field Yonng men and women sometimes ask me for advice in shaping their careers. That is always a compliment bat I am not always sure that I can t 'fie them any advice of real value. If the inquiring youngster has any talent foi public entertainment, how ever, I always advise him to follow that line. The big money flows into the pockets of those who can stir people's emotions, not to those who try to stimulate their minds. If vox: can make people laugh or make them cry, stir them to sentimental blissful ness or arouse them to anger, you have something for which they will pay you more than they pay presi dents or heads of big corporations. Where are the largest salaries paid ? in Hollywood,, to the great screen stars. Who .gets the big money foj writing? not Ihe serious thinker/ whose books contain, sometimes, the distilled essence of wisdom, but the humorists, the romantic novelists, the story-tellers ? in other words, the en tertbiners. In mnsic in all the arts, in the theater ? even in the pulpit ? the ones who get the money are the ones who are most skilful in playing upon the human heartstrings, I know ? Negro tap-dancer who earns more money every year than any bank, president I know. He has the essential quality of showmanship. Sd if X see signs of showmanship in my youngster, I always advise them to cultivate it. It is worth more than diamonds. : DICKENS on the setter j At last fte- greatest novel of Chas. Dickens? who w as essentially a show man? has been put on the screen in a manaer which preserves all of its 0omedy, its pathos, and its essentia? humanity. If you who read this hav en't yet seen the new film, "David i Copperfield", by all means go to see j K. Wherfrherlycru have ever read any of Dickens' immortal stories or not. you will realize what a wonderful in sight he had into the welfepiings of human conduct, and bow keen an un derstanding of tjje comic spirif which pervades all Hfe. I am beginning to believe that the movie magnates have really seen a great light. The realization that there is more to life than crime and sen suality, and that there is a great pub lic which is trtily appreciative of the very best that it can get,1 seems to be coming home to them. } hoj* j* have ww pictures oi JONES IS HELD IN CONNECTION WITH ROBBERY OF HOME Johnny Jones, who lias been in the toils of the law before, in fact for a considerable part of his young lit", when he has not escaped from said toils and run at large until picked up, has been arrested by Sheriff Mj-.hi and Chief James A.
