Some Viewpoints.
I find that there exists at the outset
much opposition to the bill Introduced
a day or two ago to Increase the sal
ary of the Governor to six thousand
dollars. Of course the act, if it should
become a law, would not affect .the
salary of the present Governor, be
cause of the Constitutional "inhibition,
but would apply to the next Governor
to be elected next year and his uc- L
ccssors. The pay at present 13 cer
tainly inadequate, but it is exceeding
ly doubtful whether any increase (eVen
to $5,000) will be made by this legis
lature. '' (
Despite the Governor's' recommenda
tion, it is not certain by any means
that the necessary steps will be taken
looking to the ioves'tingof the "Chief
Executive of North Carolina with-the
veto power-trange: 4s $ triay . appear.
1 believe there is but one otlier Stats
now which withholds "this prerogative
from its Governor, and when : one!" se
riously considers the character ; of
somo of bills which successfully run
the gauntlet, especially in the closing
days and hours, of a legislative ses
sion, it does seem that it would be
a good thing for the Siato and 'tha
people as a whole if the Governor had
the authority to decapitate some of
these travesties. -
Rough. ton, of Alleghany, who has so
long figured prominently in the Housa
and at the last session was really, the
floor leader and "party., whip" hen
methods of the highest import' were
Under consideration, already looms up
with full stature in the present .House.
He is one of the strongest men in
North Carolina in or out of the House.
The prospects appear to be excel-,
'lent for the advocates, of two of the
three proposed new counties, akel
and Johnston are almost certain to
J'if;Id portions of their territory to the
now county of Ransom, while Cumber
land and Robeson will contribute joint'
ly to make the new county of Hoke..
In the first instance thefre will be lit
tle or no opposition at all, and in the
latter case the affirmative of the pro
position seems to have the right-of
ay. The bill, creating -.the county
of Hoke has been introduced and i ia
nw in the hands of the Senate Coin-
njhlee on Counties, Cities and Towns.
