Sheriffs. .
v Raleigh, Feb. l.-A bill introduced by
Senator Graham, of ' Orange, - would
v amend the State Constitution go as to
increase the compensation of members
of the general assembly to $300 instead
of (240, and if an extra session is held,
pay them $100 each for It. .The presi
ding officers are to receive $10 per day.
Senator Graham says the high cost of
living makes it impassible to serve in
the legislature without personal finan
eial loss, .and that the people ought not
to expect (heir law-makers to make up
the deficit of necessary expense.
Senator Brown, of Columbus, intro
duced a'bill to prohibit social clubs from
handling liquors for members. t-
A bill by Boyden, of Rowan, would
prohibit trespassing on railroad tracks.
Thompson introduced a bill to estab
lish a State school for the feeble min-
'petitions poured into the House of
Representatives for prohibition of near
beer in North. Carolina-from Wilson,
Polk, Perquimans, Burke, Rockingham,
Mecklenburg, Yadkin, I Buncombe,
Hertford,. Northampton and other eoun
ties.-
The Senate bill to ratify the proposed
amendment to the United States Con
stitution providing an income tax pass
ed its second reading in the House 39
to 6, and on objection by Dillard, of
Cherokee, to final reading took its place
on the calendar focjWl passage anoth
er day. It was adopted after a 1-ngthy
debate on the Ewart resolution as a
substitute for which the Senate bill was
finally taken from the committee and
passf d without any party division.
In making a fight for the repeal of
the 1909 law allowing sheriff a $20 each
for blockade distilleries broken up, a
Itapplifs to Cherokee county, represen
tative Oillard charged that deputy sher
iffs In his county Ittfve "grafted'' his
county out of about $1,800 for fees of
that kit d, when in rvaHty there had
not been more than two distilleries in
the whole county within two years. -
Representative St roup offered an
amendment to include Gaston county
There was a fight to defeat the action
on Dillard's bill, but it was' lost, and it
looked like it would pass in spite of the
oppot ition of many prohibitionists who
urged that ' the committ"e on liquor
traffic is preparing an amendment to the
State law that would eliminate the evil
complained of in Cherokee.
The house of representatives passed
ths bill by Roberts, of Buncombe, to al
low divorce where there are no children

on strike because the administration
refuses to dismiss 15 000 Chinese' lab

NORFOLK-SOUTHERN
BOND ISSUE
Action Postponed One Week.
Gradual Expansion of Prop?
; erty and ' Lines.
The stockholders' meeting , of the
Norfolk-Southern " Railroad called for
tody-o.uthoriz o imfrease in the
company's lond issue from a preFent
maximum of $12,000,000 to $35,000,000,
was postponed for one week. '
It is not the idea to issue bonds at
once to the authorized limit of $3,000,
000 if this proposition carries, but
Bimply to make it so that the Norfolk-
Southern can expand and grow by ex
tension of its own lines or the acquisi
tion of other lines. 5 3 '
The capital stock of $16,000,000 will
remain just as at present. Of the pre
sent authorized bond . isaue.of $12,000,
000 there are outstanding $5780,000 plus
$1,220,000 to take care' or underlying
securities. With only an authorized is
suance of $12 000,003 this would give
the Norfolk-Southern but $3,000,000
upon which to work. This was deemed
inadequate and thus the program to
provide for an authorized bond issue of
thirty-five millions of dollarj. . .

ELIZABETH W. ENNETT.
On January 24th, at her home at Ce
dar Point, in Carteret county, the spir
it of Elizabeth W. JCnnett, danghter of
the well known and loved Int Dr. Geo.
N. Ennett, passed into everlasting rest.
Though a sufferer for several years,
she was alwas cheerful and happy, al
ways tender and thoughtful for others.
Although she realized that the end was
near, she met it bravely; there was no
shndsw of fear in, the hcmH-fomg, only
grief for the loved ones left- behind.
Her last words were words of -comfort
to those who by their love and devotion
had made her sweet young life bright
and happy. She was beloved by all who
knew her, because the beautiful soul
within spoke through her every word
and deed. . ,
For those of us who loved her best,
mere words cannot express the grief
of our hearts, nor is it needful to speak
words of praise of one whose very life
was an inspiration and benediction. We
cannot understand the wonder of the
Divine love that has taken her from us,
but through the night of our grief we
can rejoice that she has passed into end-
Jess day, to join the loved father and
brother gone b?fore, for, if ever a soul
answered the call of the great beyond
with the clean, sweet record of a pure
life, that one was Elizabeth, to whom
we pay the sacred homage of jour hearts
today, and so our prayer is for us who
loved her, that because we knew her,
we may live more worthily, that we
may be gentle because of her strength,
that her gentleness may make us great,
so that in the end wo may meet face to
face with one whose strength is "as the
strength of ten," because her soul was
pure.
For there is no sorrow' and weeping,
In the beautiful home of the blest, '
Where the silent star are sleeping. '
No weary feet have pressed, -v .":,
Where the angels their watch are
keeping
There's home at last, and rest. ;

tion the Cause. Islands
as a Naval Base. '
Washington, Jan. 31. Negotiations
for the lease by the United States of
the Galapagos Islands for naval purpo-
lw 11 probably . be subpended indefl-
nitel. it was said at the State Depart
ment following the report tf tha Anti-
american demonstrations in Guayaquil,
Ecuador.
The reported pledge of President Ea-
traded, given to a mob of citizens who
surrounded his residence, that he would
drop the mutter, is taken here to mean
the end of the plan for the present at
leat As the negotiations were opened
at the request of Eeuador, the State
Department feels that they cannot be
pressed by this country in the opposi
tion in Ecuador.
It was proposed that the islands be
leased for 999 years, and be used by
the United States as a naval base for
defense of the Panam Canal and any
other operations in the Pacific. The
project a looked upon here largely aa a
money-making scheme of the Ecuado
ran administrations. Several presi
dents of that country have endeavored
to consumate tha deal. " On the other
hand, there is no great interest in
Washington, even among naval circles,
in the proposed acquisition of the isl
ands.
According to the plan the $15,000,000
s iggested as the price of the lease was
to be used in placing Guayaquil in a
sinitiry condition.

Rivers and Harbors,
Washington, Feb. 2. After 3 hours
of consideration the Senate yesterday
passed the river an j harbor bill carry
ing appropriations aggregating about
$36,000,000. -
While the bill was under considera
tion Senators Burton and Bailey engag
ed in their annual debate over the poli
cy of improving the harbors at Beau
mont and Orange, Texas, so aa to ac
commodate ocean going vessels.
Mr. Burton criticized the provision
because of the inland character of the
two towns. He intimated also that the
harbors were desired as a means of
regulating freight rates in the Lone
Star State. .
Mr. Bailey took exception to the Ohio
senator's reflections upon the domestic
affairs of his state, and flatly asserted
that this matter was "none of the sen
ator's nor of Ohio's business." A
The course of the board of army en
gineers in pronouncing against the two
projects on the ground of commercial
undesirability was severely condemned
by Mr, Bailey,
The amendment was voted in, as was
also one for the improvement of the
Missouri river, to which Mr. Buaton
took exception, . ".'if-
Mr. Burton spoke at length in con

Held Here Yesterday. .Much In-'
teres t Manifested in the Work
by the Farmers in 1 This
Section.
During the past few months the State
Department of Agriculture has been
endeavoring to promote agriculture in
this State by holding Farmers Institut
es at which the farmers are taught the
best methods of farming. Yesterday
one of these institutes Was held at the
court house in this city and a nurriber
of well known agricultural experts
made very interesting and instructive
addresses on the best methods to. use
in making farming a profitable busi
ness. ' :
Among the prominent visitors present
were: Mr. J, L. Burgess, 'Agronemidst
State Department of Agriculture; Mr.
J. A. Conover, Dairy . Division. U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Dr. W. G.
ChriBman, Veterinarian of the same
department; Dr. Wilson, of Raleigh;
Mr.S. B,Shaw. State Horticulturist and
Mrs. Sue V. Hollowell. , f.
One of the main and most interest
ing subjects of the meeting was the
drainage of the farm. This is one of
the principal things that the farmer
has to contend with. Often it is the:
case that he fails to properly drain
several acres of the land which he
owns and in many cases the products
grown there are a failure. Drainage
makes his work twice as easy as it
would otherwise. It improves the quali
ty of the crop and greatly increases his
profits in the end. Then again in the
matter of properly fertilizing the farm
the same trouble is found. If the drain
age is not good the fertilizer does not
have the proper effect. - Many other
reasons were brought oui by the speak
ers to show that the question of drain
age was one of the farmers first duties.
Practically every subject in which
the farmers could be interested was
thoroughly discussed and analyzed and
the sneakers were woll repaid for their
efforts by the interest manifested by
their audiences. , . -
In the women's department Mrs. Sue
V. Hollewell fully discussed the advan
tage of proper sanitation in the home,
the advisability of using economy in
everything possible, the right way to
can fruit, dairying, poultry raising and
many othor interesting subjects. Mrs,
Hollowell is an excellent speaker and
she had the full attention of her hear
ers at all times. Numerous questions
were asked and much wis learned in
this matter. " "
Taken as a whole there is nothing
more beneficial to the farmers and their
wives than these institutes and they
are quick to take advantage of the op
portunity to learn every new phase of
the work, It is more than probable
thataaother will be- held' here at an
early date. ' .

a carload of dynamite on a barge along

New Jersey in the Communipaw section
of Jersey City at three minutes past
the noon hour yesterday worked a tre
mendous property damage in that city
the threw lower Manhattan Island into
a panjc by shaking the lower end of the
city and sending sickening vibrations
through the skyscraper ;of tho dis
trict. 1 " '
Ambulances and surgeons were rush
ed to the scone of the explosion and a
number of injured, mostly' workmen,
on the neighboring piers, were hur- '
ried to hospitals. The barge
and nearest pier were "destroyed .
and the terminus of the Jersey Central .
Railroad was badly damaged, broken
glass and slate from the roofs being
piled in a jumble ab Hit the entrances
of the building. A number of passen
gers in the' station at the time were
slightly injured. . - ' .
At the moment)Of the explosion hun
dreds . of thousands of clerks, steno
graphers and businejs men were pour

Manhattan for the lunch hour. - Scores
of these people were eought in the rain
of falling glass which showered over
the entire lower end of Manhattan Is-
land. Although most of these sustain
ed only slight injuries; first reports
made to police headquarters included a
nunber of serious accidents. .
Thirty seems to be a conservative es
timate of the dead, and property dam
age will hardly fall below $750,000. The
tause of the explosion 'is variously at
