The task of compromising conflicting opinions on taxation, over which the Legislature has struggled unsuccessfully for more than three months, was thrown back into the laps of the conferees?three Senators and five Representatives ?whose first efforts had been rejected overwhelmingly. The action of the House was generally interpreted to mean two ihlngs: 1. Great danger to the appropriations for schools and other state purposes which were passed by the House. 2. Indefinite prolongation of the session already 108 days old. Immediately after the proposed compromise had been rejected, Representative T. C. Bowie, habitual enemy of liberal public expendi- j tures, moved to recall from the Senate the appropriations bill which the Senators even then were considering in committee-of-theivhole. His announced purpose was to cut the appropriations which ;he House already had voted for schools, institutions and departments and to balance the budget without adding to the taxes recommended in the conference report. Revival Services Held At Areola Revival services are being coniucted at the Areola M. E. church ;his week by the Rev. R. L. Erickson, evangelist who has just recurned from Chicago. In addition ;o services every night, services will je held on Sunday morning at 11 )'clock, and at 3 o'clock on Sunday ifternoon the Rev. L. C. Brother*, pastor, will fill his regular appointment. Mrs. Erickson has charge of the nusic, which, it was stated, is especially good. The song services jet underway at 7:30 o'clock at light. A cordial invitation is extended ;o the public to hear the Rev. Mr. Erickson and the musical program. TO HOLD SERVICES HERE The Rev. Mr. Pulley of Louisburg vill be in charge of the services at Emmanuel Episcopal Church Sunlay, announcement was made this veek. He will be assisted by the Rev. B. N. de Foe-Wagner, pastor. VIISS RANDOLPH'S FATHER DIES Miss Mary Randolph, a member >f the John Graham school faculty, vas called to her home at Faison iarly Thursday morning on account )f the death of her father. ? THROUGH CAPI By BESS HEN i ??????^ STRATEGY?The boys around Raleigh who keep busy trying to "igure out what is going to happen n the gubernatorial campaign have leen analyzing the latest statement >f Congressman R. L. Doughton that le will make another statement lext Tuesday and tell the world f he is going to be a candidate. Some of the dopesters figure his statement was a trial balloon aimed it measuring his strength in this State. T hey express the opinion ;hat the reaction to his last statement wll be a big factor in determining the nature of his announcement on April 30. NO DOUBT?(While Lieutenant 3overnor A. H. Graham has made 10 formal announcement of his landidacy he does not deny that re has already decided to enter ;he contest for Governor. A lot of folks are inviting Mr. Graham to make speeches these days and It looks like he is making an effort ;o accomodate all comers. Of course, i man holding a legislative office s handicapped in running a campaign but you can watch the Gratiam smoke after the General Assehbly adjourns. HOPEFUL?Friends of Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby Democratic leader, ire hopeful that he will continue if a mind to enter the race for Gov=mnr From the Cleveland metrop :>hs comes word one week that Mr. j Hoey certainly will run and then the next week comes a grapevine message that he is still undecided. Nevertheless, the Clveland delega-! tion in the Legislature, Reprsenta-! mm I, N. C., FRIDAY, APRIL 26, HOUSE PASSES WHISKEY BILL Liquor Bill, Amended To Require Passage in 51 Counties, Goes to Senate DOWTIN DOES NOT VOTE In the passage of the Liqnor Bill by the House of Representatives Thursday Representative Dowtin of Warren was one of nine members not voting. Raleigh, April 26.?By a hairbreadth vote of 53-50, the substitute | Day liquor control and referendum bill, amended to require that 51 l/?/\iir\finp trn+n TXfnt Kaforn o Clnfa Iwutibico vuit vbivic a system of stores is established, squeezed through the House yesterday and was sent to the Senate. The bill provides for a State-wide referendum on June 8. Passage of the bill was the culmination of the carefully executed plan of a closely knit liquor referendum bloc. Acceptance of the amendment to require that 51, instead of 12 counties vote Wet before the establishment of State liquor stores was the final piece of strategy. Fish Story Makes Piker Out Of Isaac A fish story that would probably make Isaac Walton look like a piker was going the rounds here this week. W. R. Hedgepeth and his brother-in-law are credited with catching 855 fish in three and one half hours at Windsor on Monday. And Mr. Hedgepeth says that it is true, but he admits that he and his brother-in-law were using a net rather than hook and line. Increase In Number Ut harms In Warren There has been an increase in the number of farms in Warren county during the post five years, the preliminary count of the returns of the Supervisor of the 1935 Census of Agriculture reveals. In April, 1930, there were 2889 farms in Warren county, the preliminary figures show, as compared with 3188 on January 1, 1935. These figures, submitted by W. B. Myrick, Supervisor of Census, are subject to correction. Warrenton Ladies To Play Oxford Ladies of the Warrenton Golf Club will enter into a match with ladies of the Oxford club on Tuesjday of next week. The game will be played on the Warrenton links. TAL KEYHOLES fTON SILVER tive Gardner and Senator Thompson, are of the very definte opinion that Mr. Hoey will run and equally certain that he will be elected. Other Droenostierators are holding their J [bets on the probable victor in the [event the trio just mentioned try to unhorse one another. BIG STEAL?Senator Harriss Newman, the chairman of the State Senate finance committee who hat- , ched the idea of levying the sales , tax on gasoline and taking the toll out of the highway fund in order . to divert an additional $630,00 each year from your gasoline tax to the general fund, admits his plan is nothing less than "grand larceny". If the Legislature accepts his sug- . getsion, and the Senate has done , l that very thing, it means you ] country people will be in the mud [just a little longer. But the General j Assembly has been encouraged in ] leaning toward diversion by reason | of the fact that the folks back ] home are not kicking about it much, just following, the line of least ' resistance in getting the money. It ' now looks as if your gasoline money will be everybody's pie by the time the next session of the assembly convenes and the devil take the i roads.
