Business and legal circles are ex
er^>ed over the flollbwing law
which was passed by the late Fusion
Legislature and was ratified and went
into effect on Mferch 13: "An act to
regulate assignments and other con
veyances of lik<c nature in North
Carolina. The General Assembly of
North Carolina do enact: Section 1.
That all conditional saJes, assign
ments, mortgages or deeds in trusf.
which are executed to secure any
debt, obligation note or bond which
gives preferences to any creditor of
the maker, shall be absolutely void
as to existing creditors. Section 2.
That all laws in conflict with this
act are hereby repealed." U^>on it::
Pace this law declares every mort
gage or other like instrument invalid
as to all debts the maker may owe
at the time he executes the instru
ment. This substantially puts an end
to the business of borrowing money
upon mortgages. The plain, reading
of the law prohibits mortgages and
deeds of any character, unless every
debt due by the maker at the time
of the execution of the inStrumen"
is included in its provisions. New.

SETS RIVER AFIRE
An our lives we have heard
about "setting the Thames afire."
Well, it wasn't the Thames; but
the river was set afire, at William
ston. North Carolina, the other
evening. A fisherman, nearing the
pier, lighted a cigarette and tossed
the match into the water. Im
mediately, the Rdanoke river was
a sheet of flame. Fire alarms were
turned in, and the fire extin
guished.
It was learned that a leaking
pipe in one of the large gasoline
storage tanks on the rivef's bank
bad / covered the water ] with n
liquid that will burn. "?#
So, at last, North Carolina has
produced a mfca who literally sut
the river afire.

CONJTRQL FLOWER PESTS
WITH 8FSAY8 OR DUSTS
'4 /
Gontjraryv to i&e general belief, in
sect pests on flower gardens are not
a necessary evil from which there is
ho relief, sayj> C. H. Branson, ex- ?
tension entomologist at Stata College, i
Although there are a few p eat* for
which no satisfactory contra! meth
od has been developed,.!^ points out,
most of them ean be esadieated by
application of inexpensive sprays of
dqsts.
Sucking insects, which draw their
noimshrnerit from iAide tMp pfeant,
must be treated with a poison toat
kills when it comes in contact witn
their skin. Plant lice, aphids, thripg,
and aaale insects fall in this group.
Chewing insects, whfrh eat leaves
or small Stems, jnay be eradicated by
a stcansch poison. When the> eal
poison, death follows in a *hort time.
CaterpiDaia, leaf eating beetles, and
grasshoppers are among the chewing
insects. | V
For sacking insects, Brannon Com
mends a spray with one and a half'
teaspoonful of nicotine suJpJfate to
a gallon of water, or a dust with a
half ounce of nicotine sulphate to
nine and a half ounces of Fydrated
lime.
These mixtures are safe for deli
cate plants and bright colored flow

Revenue Bill Is Passed In
i* House Of Representatives
WEEK By WEEK
I ? ? -
, By DAN TOMPKINS
Aa unusual, but not unprecedented
happening in the mountains, was the
b'. jrm that swept certain sections of
Y. adisoa county, leveling homes and
u church, and a large amount ot
woodland. It is so unusual that we
frequently hear it said that the moun
tains of Western Nonth Carolina arc
free from disastrous windstorms.
The main benefit of the parley be
tween Hitler and Sir Jdhn Simon
was to give the world a breathing
."yell, thus lessening the immediate
daqger of an European armed con
flict. The peeuiiar situation is that
nobody wants war, yet the world
ffceema dafting inevitably toward it,
aad Germany and Japan are taking
advantage of the aversion of the na
ikrns to war.
War is something that should have
been sloughed off as civilization grew
A mighty good way to avoid it is
for the nation to disarm; but,, wr
have no patience with the people
wfro wonJjd Have our country, with
all tUe WQ^ld arming, sit by and do
ndfehihg to Be prepared, if war comes,
ft woifld be as foolish a thing as any
oae could do.
The funeral Assembly is contem
pt ti'rtg, in fa# a committee has
onanimnusly approved a bill, pro
riding that capital punishment shai)
8e administered by lethal gas instead
of electrocution. It seems that it
ihoulrd make little difference to th?
prisoner what method of killing hin
is used. ^Dbait part of it will be over
in a minute, and there is an endless
eternity before him. It would have
a greater cheek on crime, if we arc
MrwuUnartim ttarih if-tfce
prisoner were publicly hanged in th<
county where the crime was commit
ted. A public scafflo?<d for capita'
crimes and a public whipping |>os'
for many misdemeanors in every con:
ty, might help to throw the fear of
God and the law into people.
The passage of the act inakinsr
lawful the sale of a beverage, mis
named beer, of alcoholic content o!
5 per cent, practically assures tin
defeat of the Hill Bill for the estah
lishment of liquor stores in Nortl:
Carolina. There is little likelihood that
it will pass at the present General
Assembly; but those of us who be
lieve in prohibition may as well be
gin to consider the fact that it i>
probable that the legal sale ?f liquoi
in North Carolina will return, sooner
or later. It is hard ior us tc stand
practically alon-\ Georgia vole < or
the question on Mr/ 15. If sh*? votes
to retain her prohibition laws, it maj
help the situation in North Caro'pni.
If she votes wet, the doom of pro
hibition in North Carolina will be
writtfn in the stars. Every North
Carolinian wonid do well to watch
developments in that- election.
The House of Representatives, by
a big vote, has passed the Patnnn
Bwus Bill to ffey off fhe bonus with
printing-press money. Many a Con
gressman voted for that bill, trust
ing and beJieving that President
Roosevelt will veto it. The boys wan I
to oocnc home and teH the veterans
thai they voted to pay the bonus,
wfcile deep in their hearts they arc
tfot ia favor of paying it now. It
vorfd be fttnny, after the Senate
doec tin same thing, if President
ftoosevolt wonid fool them and not
iHertice fbe v^to. The opponents are
tailing the money that is to pay the
vAtenws "printing press money";
but, we ask you, what is a government
bond : except printing press money
that otfrries with it a certain amount
of iateFest that the government must
jpay; or why wilt it strain the gov
ernmoat's credit or inflate its cur
reney any more to print currency
?arries no interest than to print
bonds upon which the taxpayers will
ftave V> pay tribute to the wealthy
who buy bonds?
G^WAN IN HOSPITAL
Chairmen J. D. Cowan of the Board
of County Commissioners is reeov
eriag from an operation for sinus
trotfcle, which he underwent at a
famklin hofwtaJ, Tuesday morning.
/
(By DAN TOMPKINS)
The House of Representatives has
passed the Revenue Bill on its third
and final reading, and sent it over
to the Senate, where the battle will
l>e fought all over again. The. bill
reenacts the sales tax of three per
cent, with the only change of taking
from the taxable list, all the items
that have heretofore been exempt. II
the bill is passed by the Senate and
ratified as it now stands, the items
of milk, flour, coffee, lard, molasses,
and the other staples, upon which
there has been 110 tax, will be taxed
along with everything else bought or
.sold in the State.
The Senate passed the House bill
raising the alcoholic content of beer
from Roy Francis' 3.2 to 5 per cent,
and it has been ratified, making it
legal in North Carolina to sell beer
with as great an acoholic content as
5 per cent. At the time the House
was enacting the revenue bill, impos
ing a sales tax on everything, the
Senate was passing a bill to lower
the license tax 011 automobile tags
to 45 cents per hundred weight,, with
a minimum of $8.
Bills introduced:
The act that will, perhaps, create
more comment, will prove the great
est thorn in the flesh, and will be
the hardest to enforce of any enacted
by the present or any recent General
Assembly, is the one that has now
l>ecome the law, and which requires
the inoculation, once each year, by
a veterinarian, of all dogs in the
State, against rabies, and providing
'hat the owner shall pay a fee of 50c
;>er dog for the operation. Very little
lias been said about that bill in North
Carolina; bi:t wait until it begins to
CO into operatic.!! and you will see
the fur really liegin to fly.
To validate all acknowledgements
in Which the notary, at the time of
leaking the acknowledgement, was
holding another office, where the in

To mdkc it a misdemeanor to wil

cept as it is involved in the question
of identification.
To validate all ,tax sales held in
1933 and 1934 on improper days, to

foreclosure proceedings on 1927-1932
taxes instituted after October 1, 1934
and prior to October 1, 1935.
To amend the motor vehicle act so
