The entire Sen ate body also reversed itself Friday night, tabling the bill and putting the ■‘clincher” on it so it cannot come up again except by a two-thirds vote. The bill provided that racing tracks and devices might be erected in Bun combe at a cost approaching half a million dollars, to he rented at $5,000 a day for 36 days a year for horse and dog racing and operation of pari- mutual devices—gambling machines v^hich church and moral forces as sailed as steps toward legalizing gambling and making Buncombe a Monte Carlo of vice and sin. Promo ters pointed to the money Buncombe would receive, as an aid to bringing hat county out of its financial slough. Women led the promoters and were a formidable lobby for it. The House passed the bill hy a large majority and the Senate passed it on second reading, when it was referred to the committee on Counties, Cities and Towns, which later reversed its posi tion. ♦ ♦ ♦ “Embattled farmers” descended upon the General Assembly last Thursday by the hundred and from all over the state, demanding tax re duction on land. The Finance commit tees, which have been passing through torment in efforts to find the $199,- 500,000 to operate the schools for six months without ad valorem taxes, h«ard them, as they had heard mer chants and manufacturers who oppos ed sales or production taxes. While firobably close, doubt is expressed even now that a sales tax can be fnacted, although one would be nec essary to carry out the six-months school plan. The committee is proba bly approaching, but has by no means arrived at a solution of the problems. It may yet be necessary to continue the present plan with an increased Equalization Fund. tography; requiring reserve fund and regarding mutuality of E. & L. Asso ciations; regulating sale of mixed feed oats; allowing defendant two and State one preemptory challenge in criminal trials. * * ♦ Revaluation of property for taxes, postponed until March 15, has been postponed again until April 1, while bills are being considered to postpone it until 1933. This will cause another hard fight before the session ends. - ■■■ - t - THE LYRIC TRIO TO SING AT PLATFORM HOUR SUNDAY The Greenwood evangelistic party, which was in Southern Pines early in the year, is engaged with the First Presbyterian Church, Miami,* Florida in an open air campaign on the spa cious lawn surrounding the church. This is the oldest and most conserva tive church in that city. The services are attracting many who nightly at tend them and the influence is felt through the city. This is the first time in its history the church has ever followed the plan for outside meet ings. The Greenwood party is expect ed to return for a short campaign at Southern Pines on its way back north some time in March. Whistling Henry, Old Pinehurst Resident, Dies Lovers of music will welcome the opportunity to hear a trio of ladies’ voices next Sunday night, March 22d at The Platform Hour of The Church of Wide Fellowship, Southern Pines, at 7:30 o’clock.

Most of the impor tant bills as yet to be threshed out on the floors of one or both houses. The Local Government bill is passed and out of the way, and is to be | y printed and distributed at once. But ' h amendments are being added to it. Tlie highway measure has passed both houses, but conference commit • tees are trying to iron out minor dif ferences in amendments. All of the bills relating to reorgan ization of the government have made som<e progress during the week, in cluding those to establish a personnel department, a purchasing agent, re organization of the Department of Agriculture, establishing a separate Banking Department, appointment by the Governor of the members of the Corporation Commission, but time will be required to get them through. A bill to create a new Department of Labor, making the commissioner ap pointive, and specifying divisions, is m the hopper. The Finance and Ap propriation bills are by no means complete and will require fully a week after they are reported out ot committees. Prognosticators are moving up their dates of adjournment, most of them 5?ure it will be April, or later, before *he General Assembly can finish up. The bill to provide for a State insur ance fund for insuring employes un der the Workmen’s Compensation Act was killed in the Senate, but other bills to amend the act, interpreting and modifying it in places, will prob ably pass. The omnibus bill, naming members of the county boards of education, has been introduced. It usually brings out many local fights and efforts to turn out old boards by other factions. The omnibus bill naming magistrates has not yet made its appearance. A summary show's that slightly more than 1,500 bills have been in troduced, 1,056 in the House and 449 in the Senate. Among the public laws ratified the past week were two relating to county government, one creating a commis sion for improvement of the laws; providing for using the $400,000 ap propriated in 1927 for a iiew central prison; providing for an election on allowing elections to amend the con stitution to be held at times other than with general elections; author izing declaratory judgrments; requk- ing tohacfeo warehouse checks to be made payable to order; allowing THE PAGE TRUST COMPANY.
