I Raleigh eastward. Much interest ? was manifested in the discussion that I arose and almost 2d members pledged I to take the trip to Raleigh. J. W. Dailey president of the cham-1 ber of commerce called the meeting ? I to order and then turned it over to I I T. B. Ward, chairman of the trans- H portation committee who briefly out-1 lined the purpose of the meeting. Mr. Ward said that the highway I commission originally .had planned to I pave the Poole road from Raleigh to I I Wendell but that pressure was being ? I brought from certain quarters to have ? the paving extend along the Milbur- I nie route from Raleigh to the filling I station about three miles from Wen- I dell. The Millburnie road is the one I I which is now traveled, by Wilson peo- ? I pie in going to Raleigh. The Poole I road is a shorter route It leaves Ra- I leigh at the ball park and comes di- I rectly into Wendell Mia Ward ex-1 plained that if the Millburnie road! I was paved it would mean that the I I paving would go by way of Zebulon I and probably would be connected with I I the road leading from Spring Hope! to Nashville and Rocky Mount. On I I the other hand, if the Poole road is I I paved, it would mean reducing the I I from Wilson to Raleigh by ? about four miles and would be an add-1 ed incentive for paving the rest of I the route to Wilson. It was brought out in the dis- I I cussioa that followed that not only I I would the Poole road reduce the dis-? tance, but it would mean a lug say- I I state highway commission and *dol I away with counties dictating where ? I roads should go. and that it woidd be ? far more beneficial to the majority I of the people affected by the con- I struction work. It was pointed .oatB that Rocky Mount, Nashville and oth-1 I er towns would try to get the Milbur I I nie road selected- The purpose of I last night's meeting was to get a rep- ? resentatioa of Wilson citiens to eh- I done the Poole route at the meet-1 ing of the highway commission. f ' I PUBUC WELFARE IN THREE I COUNTIES WELL BE STUDIED ?

In Jtruth, Wore, but- it happened yesterday/ ' ' It didn't work. Before the matter had ever reap ed the governor's ear the candidate for clemency concluded that perhaps after all there are times when a mother's adviee is not altogether practical. He talked out of the cap itol and disappeared and not even his mother could find him, to say noth ing of Warden S. J. Buebee, of the state prison, ahd sundry deputy war dens and policemen who were trail ing him. Paul Wolf, of Charlotte, who left the Mt. Holly camp in the fourth month of the first year of a sen tence for stealing an automobile, is the youth who came in person to bid for executive clemency yesterday. He has been missing from the ML Hol ly camp for a year, and has been so journing in San Antonio, Texas. He arrived in the city at noon yesterday and shortly thereafter was warming a chair in the outer offices waiting for audienee with the governor. It was his mother, Mrs. Paul Wolf, Sr., who induced him to return to North Carolina to give himself up and ask for pardon. She joined him in Charlotte yesterday morning at 5 o'clock and accompanied him to Baleigh. En route here it was de rided to aak for the parole first and then surrenc:*r.

With the simple rites of the Methodist Epis copal church at * Central Methodist ' ? church where he had attended serv ices for years and with Masonic hon ors at Oakwood cemetery, the casket containing his remains was lowered into the earth. All day the body lay in state un der the rotanda of the capitol while thousands passed by silently for a last glimpse of the features of the great jurist The casket was covered with flowers and in the midst stood a small Confederate flag, symbol of the cause for which, as a boy, the de ceased had . fought.

The Vote Stood 59 to 26, or Two More than the Necessary Two Thirds Required for Passage. Opponents Fought Hard/ Washing-ton May 19.?Opponents of the bonus bill rallied and fought for time today as the measure ap proached its finaL test in the senate. Seven republicans in the senate who ' had been numbered as friends of the bill were called to the white house and exhorted by President Coolidge to vote to sustain his veto. After wards Senator Reed Pennsylvania, in charge of the anti-bonus forces, de clared that the situation "cerainly looked brighter," and made overtures to delay for a week the final vote. Nevertheless supporters of the bill remained steadfast in their predic tion of a roll call before night which would override the president's veto and make the bonus plan law. Al most without exception the seven senators summoned by President Coolidge, joined in this prediction. One or two are said to be wavering but leadersjon the side of the bonus declared that the deflection of so small a number would not be suffi cient to defeat the bill. Neither Reed nor any. other -sup porters of the president are prepared to give any definite figure to coun terbalance any claims of the opposi tion. By unanimous consent the bill wds taken up a few minutes after 2 o'clock on motiop of Senator Curtis, repub lican, Kansa?. Senator Reed, repub lican, Pennsylvania, asked for unani mous consent for the vote to be post poped until Saturday, but Senator Ashhurst, democrat, Ari?oha, blocked the proposal, by a formal objection. Less than a dozen senators were absent from the chamber when actnal consideration of the bill was begun by the reading of the president's vetr I 'J " ?' \ 'i > Can He Stick?
