THE STATE LEGISLATURE

Bond Issue for
r- By a J. Oaflkvfor W. T. Btnt
' Raleigh,' Jan. 9. The feature of the
second day's session- of the North Car
olina General Assembly was Govern
or Blcketfs message delivered before
a Joint session of the house and senate
today at noon.. The Governor made
some startling, novel recommendations
in regard to changes In the law relat
ing to bastardy and In taxation. '
Mr. Bickett proposes that the father
of child born out of wedlock to be
required to support and educate such
child, assuming , responsibility little
short of that devolving upon a father
toward his legitimate children.
In taxation matters the Governor
urged an honest appraisal of property
for taxation and suggests a question
naire to be used to ascertain just what
land is worth. :
The Governor opposes a bond issue
for roads, saying that state bonds are
not at present marketable enough, and
that the state, which is running behind
on its expense account, should first of
all take inventory and determine Its
liabilities and assets.
In the senate a resolution proposing
to endorse the proposal to form a
league of nations to enforce (peace, was
not put upon immediate passage, as Its
Introducer Cooper, of Lenoir, asked,
but upon objection of Mangun, of Gas
ton, who felt there was some doubt
as to the advisability of Uncle Sam
turning sword-swallower, was referred
to the judiciary committee.

BASKET BALL GAME
Concord Won Over Badin Last Night
by a Scare of 40 to S3.
The Concord I.U.C.A., Basket Ball
Team played the Badin five on the let
ter's court last night and won the game
to the count of 33-40.
Leaving the Association Building at
six-twenty o'clock in cars the Concord
fellows arrived at Badin In time to
start the game shortly after eight. The
long ride through the cold made them
a b't stiff and awkward at first, bat
after warming up a little they started
In to play some real basket ball.
The game was played in what is
known at the "Cummunity Building,"
which is nut a regulation gymnasium.
The "telling K low, thus making
long shots impossible, ana tne goais
are different from those used by most
teams. , ,
Badin has a good team, some of the
men being old college players, and they
play a good game although there vvus
tendency to "rougn it up've utue too
much. The average weight of the Ba
din team is much greater than that of
Concord, some of the latter's players
being mere boys, so that Concord's vic
tory is nil !!;. wmv . rmmcndnble.
