The peo jle in that section of the county evi iently seem to care but little for their jwn comfort, and for the life of their automobiles, it is believed that that section shows up worse in the matte t >r roads than any other part of North Carolina. It is hoped that the High may Commission taking this in hand will give some inspiration to the peo ple in that section, and after the road has been put in a better condition thej will have sufficient pride to do some thing towards the maintenance of the roads. All roads, even hard surfaced roads must have some attention paid t.i them, being constantly in use one ■annot expect a road to last indefinite ly, and some work must be done in i>rkr to keep them even in a reason uble measure, of usefulness.

It may be announced within the next ft-w days. Convening the lawmakers in extra session, especially at this tune of the 1 year, will be much against the wishes 1 J! Uie Governor personally, as wail is against the desires of the legisla tors. Hut the representatives of the Stat«S Association of Municipalities iiave presented such a strong case on the part of a number of cities to func tion their financial management in no Dther way, that the Governor is under stoo dto have come around to their tv'uy ot thinking. Of course, the chief purpose of the session will be to validate the munic ipal act, which has been declared in valid, by the Supreme Court, because >f the failure of the Senate Journal .•lurk to properly record its passage ju the Senute Journal, but once' aSsem Died the Legislature will not confine 1 itseli to that duty. * The chances are that, like the "Ex try" ot last August, it will go the limit of twenty days before it ad- 1 |ourns. The data for assembling tin likj slaters is expected to be sometimi in July or August. 'I he governor would defer it till ful if some of the cities were not cryiiii ,uu that they cannot wait till then. What About Ih eWoman Member? Snce the legslature adjourned last March the one woman member, Mis.s rtements, of buncombe, ha* married iitd changed her antne. The question irises as to how this fact will affect ,he representative from llunconibe •ounty. Legally, there is no such per son as Miss Clements, and what we want to know is what Alex Lassiter, principal clerk of the House, in going lo do about it when he makes up the roll. He can't really expect an aye response if he calls "Miss Clements,' and by whut authority is he to beconu ible to call her Mrs. Newnanie (which jsenpes us for the moment) and ho sure of the validity of the "act," Hut Clerk Laasiter is a gentlemen i»f resources and haw been serving n ane capacity and another in the llousf since Horace Greeley, ran for presi dent. It the female representative front Buncombe attends the extru ses sion, Colonel Lasaiter wn probably he depended on to get her legal cogno men adjusted so as to appear on the House roll of members, but de facto rle jura. , More Agitation Threatened There are rumors and reports galore tvf the maoy subjects that-may again life taken up by the legislature in ex tra session—most of tkem unwelcom* j nnes. Raleigh club women, more latelj railed politicians of the new authority, are authority for the statement that the censorship of motion pictures will itgaia be presented to th elawmaker» foY passage, and that just as big i lobby will be on hand to flght for I as fought in January and February. I'rooucers and film men will be equal I > iTroa gagainjt it, ami at least one ot ibo powerful lobbies of the revuUu Bcsftion will l»e at work In the ep«cla! 1 meeting!. , Local attorneys interested say "the Power bill" wiU'again be before thi legislat'ire. 'the cotton mill folk: having waited six months on the Cor poration Commission, are getting anx ious for action. Most political weather vanes think the power lobby will lie just as power ful and precipitate just as big a battle in Jul) and August as it did si* month tefurtr, but a respectable minority oj folks think the flght for a State con Ptat*ulary will be the outstanding drive >n the special session. W rd having come up from the east that Senator Bumpier Ilurgwyn will v..ta for the confirmation of Col. A. D Wiuts as commissioner of revenue, t>. t gentleman entertains no fears. The taxation (harks are wondering it the legislature won't make a des perate effort to bring "old man ad valorem" back to life. Governor Rufe Houghton Is coming back to pilot the Ship of States in the Ixtwer Heuse. He will resign from the Highway Com mission, he told newspaper men, ir order to be here and serve aa chairman Ef the Finance Committee. His return will leave the regular lesion shy only throe members. High way Commissioner John Mcßee, of Vitchell, will not resign, and his coun ty will either have to tall a special election or got along without repre sentation.

There were 128 cases ot typhoid fe ver reported to the North .larolins State board of Health for the month of May from 57 counties in the state. Rockingham is charged up with the largest number, seven, ami is followed closely by Wayne, Lenoir and John ston with six eacn. Durham led th cities with six, Winston-Salem had three, W ilmington t w * JRarlotte and Raleigh, one each. A study shows that typhoid has not been epidemic asywhere, there is an average of only two cases fron c uuliea where the disease exists However, the Board of ilealth point* out to the people that many cases maj lesult from these few through con tact with them, and through contain inution of food, water and milk by Hies or human carriers. For this rea son, if it has been over two years jince you took the treatment prevent ing typhoid, do tlie wise thing and repeat it now. During the coming months free protection against typhoid wi I be oered in hal fthe counties of the State. It' yours is not one ot 'lid . it should be and it is no fault of the State Board of Health that i is »« t « . PROPERTY OWNERS The cumpaign of oducation and pub licity which is being carried on by the North Carolina Stat* Insurance De partment is intended to teach the property owners to remedy faulty con struction uhd the occupants to elim inate hntardous conditions, and also to instill into the minds of all people the insurance buying portions espec ially, the fundamental fact that tht insurance compnaies do not pay tlie Hie losses; the payment is made by those of us who buy Are insurance through agents of the insurance com panies). Along thi sline of fire pre vention, these bulletins are issued and distributed with the purpose of calling attention to the careless acts that cause so many Area—the sins of omis sion and commission. lUt purpose is to reach not only the parents but theit childreh, and to encourage more care fulness in the homes. Fire preven tion is a live subject. It is practical enough to interest the most practical and it admits of enough scientifi( rtiuly to delight the most earnest stu dent. Its ceonomic side has to do di rectly with the conservation and pre nervation of our natural resources. II furnishes a wide field for research. II deals with common everyday matteri and should interas tthose in all walki of life. The people must listen and under ' tand-before they will act in matter of fire prevention. The study of th ' subject in the schools will turn th attention te it and aught to be th« means of accomplishing definite re i .suits in a very few years. i I BAM.

Each of the peanut grow ing counties in the two states will ha\e a member of the board of direc tors with the exception of Southamp ton, which will have two members; Halifax and Nash, which will be com bined in one district with two mem bers; and Prince George and Dinwid Uo, which will -form another district with inly one member. In addition to the above 19 direc tors to be chosen by the growera in their tespectlve districts, there will be one ci rector at large each for Vir ginia and North Carolina, who will be nominated i>y the Deans of the UKiicultural colleges of these two states.

Airangements will be made for a general meeting o fthe stockholders to conilrni the district nominees for mem lership on the board of directors. In udvance of this general meeting of the itock holders, Which it is expected will be laigely attended, a charter will be applied for and the by laws will be # prepared to be presented to the mem bers of the new exchange. This exchange of the peanut grow ers will be the first organisation per fected east of the Mississippi river on the California plan.

Provision is also made for the issuance of not less than $360,000 of preferred stock. 1 he contract under whieh the pea nut growers are organizing waa drawn by Aaron Sapiro, attorney for a large number of cooperative organizations ia the West, and the campaign for se curing signers to the contract has been (omiucted by S.

For several months the organisation com mittee was represented by a good strong corps of field men, who held meetings in the varieua community centers in the peanut growing coun ties of these two state, and then made a house to house canvass of the grow ers to secure their signaturea to the contract. The extension forces of Loth states joined heartily in this greft forward movement and rendor id invaluable asriNMMe to the grow ers in perfecting their organisation. This campaign has been one of educa tion in cooperative marketing and its su cess will doubtless have n deckled influence on the cotton and tohnoco associations now being organised on a similar basis. . 1 " ,rrt -STRAND— i -THEATRE— " - THURSDAY MAS MURRAY ■4 DAVIO POWELL i 'The Right to Love" r Has a girl who la married against her wll, for money and position, the right to ievet Haa n a man, robbed of the girl ho '• loves, the right to kill fat h«v , . defense?
