Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. Marc'i 2.—Because salary increases totalling $49, 000 a year have , been approved, of which amount $46,- I 500 will go into effect the next fiscal] year, considerable revision is having to be made in the general maintenance i appropriations bill in order to tuke ; care of this increased expense, and members of the finance committee have intimated that it may be ncces \ sary to recall that bill from the sen ate hr order to take care of this in crease if other appropriations are not l shaved sufficiently to take care of it. ? The house with lavish hand, con- • tributed liberally in the form of sub stantial salary increases to the attor ney general, judges of the Supreme and Superior courts ami the secretary •of the State Board of Health, when all of these bills were taken tip as s)>ee iul order in the house Tuesday. The increases which were approved are as follows; P A flat increase of $1,500 a year in the salaries of the judges of the Su preme and Superior courts, which makes a total outlay of $36,000 a K year, including four additional Su perior court judges, since it is taken for granted that four more judicial districts will be created. Thus ex clusive of expense allowances, xuper ir court judges will receive a salary of $0,500 a year, while Supreme court p justices will receive $7,500 yearly. The salary of the attorney general was increased from $4,500 to $6,000 I a year, with the co.ndition that lie de- 1 vote his entire time to the office. Heretofore the attorney general has j beers allowed to engage in private prac- ] tice. The original bill provided for 1 a salary of $7,500, but this was re- 1 drived to SO,OOO. The salary of the secretary of the ; State Board of Health, who is the executive health officer of the state,! was increased from $5,000 to SB,OOO. • The bill originally proposed to permit the board of health fix the salary, but 1 the house refused to agree to this. 1 Thus the total increases amount to ! $40,000 a yen rt And with the exception of the in- 1 creSsc in the salary of the attorney general, which cannot go .into effect until his next term of office, the other increases are expected to take effect I EFIRD’S EVERYTHING TO WEAR Phone 119 Err Rent—Bed Room and KUdandte neatly ftirniehed.

I,ess .opposition wag evidenced to the] ■ hill increasing the salaries, of the Su perior and Supreme court judges than ftuy other,' as virtually every one : agreed that these judges are making j personal sacrifices to serve the state at the salaries they have been re : ceiving. However, in-the other cases, espec ially the bill increasing the salary of the attorney general, opposition de veloped from some of the rural coun ties, IPtT by Representative Boyit of Haywood, who said "a salary of $4,- 500 is u big salary in my county," and who thought $7,509 a year out of all reason. Representatives Squires and Murphy ridiculed the calamity howling of the back country, but ■ Representative Boyd’s amendment fix ing the salary at $6,600. instead of $7,300 prevailed. Opposition also developed to the original bill by Representative Gold of Guilford to permit the state beard of health to fix the salary of the sec retary. The members of the house jat once scented a joker and with the ■ doctor members of the house lending the fray, with Dr. Mcßryde of Rock ingham in the fore, insisted that the salary be fixed in the bill. Dr. Mc- Bryde termed the board “a closed cor poration" whicli acted as a law nnm itself, and which persistently refused to permit anyone but hand-picked men to become members of it. The house finally agreed to fix this salary at sßioo© a year, after Rep resentative Turlington of Iredell had valiantly defended the board of HealrtP j for thw- KptemWd work it has done ip. | the state. He advocated a salary of' I SIO,OOO but his suggestion failed to 1 prevail. j The bills, already passed by the ! senate, were sent, back for coneur -1 renee iti the amendment, which is ‘ expected immediately.

SENATOR OVERMAN ENJOYS JIM LONG REMINISCENCES Dr. H. C. Herring Sends Him Letter Written 26 Years Ago to the Famous Hiun ■ oris*, “Bill Arp.” i In 1991 Dr. H. G. Herring, of On *eord, sent to Major Chas. H. Smith, who Wrote under the node de plume of “Bill Arp'” the following letter, tano time after the famous humorist had filled a speaking engagement in Concord: Concord, N. C., Nov. 25. 1901. Dear’ Major Smith: I am so wanting in those attrac tions that made Adonis famous I sup pose you have forgotten me. If you remember, the last time you wore here, yon spent the greater part of the afternoon in my office, “ruminat ing" and cracking jokes with Frank Rogers. It was during that memorable campaign when our county sent Jim Long to the Legislature. He was a veritable Col. Sellars, more, for be mentally possessed ail of the Mississ ippi Bottoms and several million Seres in Alabama. Baron Munchau sen was a story teller, but our man went further, he possessed everything j that the freak of imagination could picture. The phrase "Goodbye" when successfully applied to him always sounded euphonious and pleasant. Poor fe|low, after returning from his arduous duties at the Capitol, with every cent of his per diem and mileage in his pocket, he began the life of easy j Indifference. It is said that he re marked to a neighbor, after spending a night at a “wake," that he believed the “vertigris in the liekcr nowadays would kill a dog." This expression almost had the brand of prophecy, i»r having failed to open his door for two consecutive mornings, it wJs found that he "had turned up nis toes." It Is but just to his memory to note that he retflly did make a good representative. Lee Overman, of Sal isbury, a staunch Democrat and engag-i od to look after our interest, by a | simple nod or shake of the head, was all the lobbying done ;o get the vote of t'ahnrrus. That same session, a committee of dentists went down nnd asked for a dental law. As the op position wnx too formidable to safe ly combat, an ingenious mind of the! committee absented himself with oqi representative, for two whole days pumping him full with cross road log ic and after a good deal of coaching, lie was declared fit for the Combgt. The Speaker gave notice that on a eertain day, Col. Jim Long, of Ca barrus, would address the House on the Dental Bill. At the time appoint-' ed, everybody went to hear Lee Over man's man. Our representative start ed in with a voice like unto dynamite and nitroglycerine, nnd as vocal chord after vocal chord snapped in relating liersonal experiences, he ended in the cadence of the squeak of a cart wheel. Never before nor since, lias such an ovation been accorded a man. It is needless to say that the , MU went through with a safe major ity. The Dental Association in recog nition of this great service, unani mously passed the following: Resolved, That when Col. Jim Ixmg wants a tooth pulled, any dentist to whom lie presents himself shall per form this service free of charge, and when his inaxillaries become edentu lous. the nearest dentist .to his resi dence must furnish him. free of cost, a complete set of “store teeth.” A failure to obey this mandate of the Association, will forever render the offender ineligible to hold any Cabinet* office in the United Stall's. A copy was sent him. and it was a source of the keenest delight on meet ing a stranger, for him to go over his Legislative life and read what the Dentists sent him. This great pleas ure did not come every day, for he wgs pretty well known and strangers were scarce. He was wise in his gen eration. for while urged to speak on other bills, like Prentiss on Doluth, he enjoyed the laurels already won. It is said, though, that he asked one of liis trainers to get him ready for an- j other speech, but the trainer most for- ] tunately fell off a high bicycle and broke both arms atid u leg. This let ter is written for: two reasons—To tell you how much I enjoy your weekly letters on Philosophy and home life, they ate ull the human mind could picture, and for a still greater reason, | I waut a letter from you to preserve! and iu future yearp to show to my | children, long after you have been j gathered to your fathers. With great respect and admiration. I am. my dear! sir, Sincerely yours. H. O. HERRING. Several days ago Dr. Herring sent this letter to Senator Overman, and that the Senator greatly enjoyed it is shown by the following letter; Dr. H. C. Herring. Concord. X. C.. My dear Dr. Herring;—Thank you so much for your letter of February 22nd enclosing eqpy of a letter which you wrote to ‘ Bill Arp” over a quar ter of a century ago, which I have en joyed hugely. It carries me back to ; the good old days so far removed from the present. How well do I recall that night in the House when everything was turn ed over to old Jim Long to reply to i Sutton of Fayetteville, who opposed .the Dentist bill, and how Jim got the • laugh on him, the ovation ho received •ml the bill passed. I can well im agine how Bill Arp must have laugh ed when ho read your letter, which is well worth preserving and therefore I am herewith returning it to you ia order that you may file it along with your valuable papers. I think it would be well to let some of our old friends read it in the newspapers who remember these old days. So many of our old friends are now pnssiftg away, but it is most refreah •ing to recall the by-gone days and have a letter - from my old friend whom 1 hope will be spared many years to come to bless his friends and loved ones. Glad onr mutual friend, Morrison Caldwell, is still taking an interest in thin** Am glad to say I am in apten did health and such letters as you send is mepirtjf on us. • ,T* r With kindest regards and best wish “.f 1 . *'< THIS CONCORD DAILY tRIDUNB BE PATIENT, ASKS CITY OFFICIALS *S 1 FORCE DOES STUFF, Every Effort Being Made to Clear Streets of Snow.- Task Heavy and Unusual One Fo( Concord.

"We have snows like this about once every 25 years, so nat urally we have no modern equipment (or cleaning it away. "However, we are usiug two street scrapers, several mule drags and score* of workers with Shovels. In the downtown section we will have paths cleared for pedestrians aad autos during the day <and iu other sections we hope also, to make travel less difficult," The drags, scrapers ami men with shovels got on the job at 7 o'clock this morning and two hours later they had much of the snow off the sidewalks in the downtown district. They were aided by clerks and other workers in various business houses. The scrapers were sent over the principal streets in the business dis trict us well as in some of the resi dential sections. The mule drags were used on tl»e sidewalks in the residential sections.

Coltrane. “’new is aothtag wrong with trie phones in Concord; tbe operators were just swamped.” This statement wan made this morn ing by L. Kg CoJtrtfte, head at the Concert! Telephony Co., who said at least 260 persons in Concord had re ported trouble with their phones be cause they could not get cntral this morning. “t got to tbe telephone office about 6:46 this morning," Mr. CoitrSne continued, “and found tbe night oper ator and Ij. D. Coltraue, Jr., trying to answer the hundreds of calls that were comiug iu. They were working as rapidly as possible but despite their efforts I think at least 250 red call lights were showing on the board. 1 “I pitched iu and helped them for a few minutes and then went out and got five other operators. For the next two hours this corps of six experienc ed telephone giris could not begm to handle the mass of calls that, were comin* in. "There was, more business this | morning than On the morning of thej armistice. I have never seen as many j caps coming in and despite our best, efforts all of the callers could not bo reached' at once.” Mr. Coltrane said that scores of long distance coils could not be han dled at ah, due to the unusual rush of local business. “The storm has not affected our lines so far ns wc have Men able to learn," Mr. Coltrane continued. "Per sons who thought their 'pkoues were otit of order probably ropcbctl that conclusion because an operator did hilt answer as soon as usual." by 9 o'clock, it was said, business was about back to normalcy-and ev erything was moving along smoothly. Hundreds of the calls sent in wfffc ing the early hours were to garages and' taxi siatiorts, it wan said, all a result of the atmost unprecedented snow which fell during the night. Criticises DhVrree Laws As Illogical. Criticism of the present attitude toward divorce is. made by Kosita Kogbes, the well kpowu explorer and writer, in an article Iu this week’s Liberty. "Sfurriitge in 1927 is not necessarily a life sentence." the writer (mints out. “('think the present state of the slivorce^tgws is ns illogical ns most half measures. Either the. church’s point of view is correct and. fhnrriage is a sacrament, inviolate under any conditions, or it is a civil contrget, to be dissolved by mutual consent like any .other iiartnership. “Logically," she continues, “it can not waver Hbtweeu the two. and it is horrible t|tat n person should be forced into a semblance of automatic im morality in prder to gain tbe right to start- afresh."
