A. D. MacLean announced on the floor of the house last week that the legislature was being cor rupted by wine, women and song. The following day he apologized by saying that he was wrong so far as the singing was concerned. The apology has been accepted. As an apologist, Mr. MacLean is in a class by himself. His idea of! a perfect apology is to call a man I seven different kinds of a horse thief and then apologize to him fori having spoken harshly to his dog. Talking about apologies, wonder what kind of apologies some of the! members of the legislature are going to make to their constituents when they get back home again! That's! where the real art will come in. Outside of calling one another liars, I thieves, scoundrels and gentlemen of no principle, which no one outside! the legislature is denying, the so called statesmen havent been accom plishing very much during the last week. It looks as though they might adjourn this week. It's been looking like that for the last five weeks. Mr. MacLean was home for the week-end. He said that the greatest ianger, so far as his side of the fight vvas concerned, was that some of his co-workers might be forced to leave Raleigh because their money was giv ing out. If that happens, his little aouse of cards is liable to fall to aieces. He admitted frankly that he iidn't know what was going to hap cen. IH bet one thing, though, hell right right to the bitter end. Mr. Ward, another one of our local ? .?itizens who is in the legislature, was - i little bit more explicit in the in- ] formation he gave out. "Mr. Ward," I said, "What do you ] ;hink of the legislature?" j * D !! H *1 the , egislature!" he eexlaimed. And then, < fust as soon as heTcould draw anoth er deep breath, he added: "Of all the i >!! * & I ever have j seen in my life!" < And then he turned around and j strode away. A whole lot of folks will agree with Mr. Ward's opinion , ( Look For Large i Crop Of Tobacco Pears Entertained That ! Pleas for Reduction Have Failed j . i Henderson, May 12.?Fears that < ;he reduction in tobacco acreage this ] 7ear will be less than was anticipat- j id, and far less than has been de dared necessary if prices are to im- ] prove, are being expressed here. Re rent surveys and conversations with . farmers have revealed that, on the whole, there will be a larger crop ;han some optimists have looked for, ind that serious consequences may follow, . Some rumor is that in helfe^to the ;ast and south of here, where trans- : planting is either well under way or practically finished, there is little ey- j dence of a decline in acreage, Planting got under way on a small i scale last week in this Middle Belt although no great amount of the weed was set.

That's what ev- J eryone is spying today and then add- , ing, "Some canary that laid that ? egg." Such are the outspoken com ments on the big egg on display at . R. L. Davis & Bros. There's a story back of the big egg , and the exhibit. It's a part of a nat ional campaign by the Purina Mills , through several thousand dealerc in j the United 'States and Canada to en courage the production of big eggs. It ( has been found that the market wanta ( big eggs and discriminates against ( small sized pullet eggs. In order to produce big eggs there j must be big body development. A ( small size pullet cannot produce large ^ eggs. For that reason poultrymen are being urged to feed the poultry flock a good growing ration during the growing months this summer In , order to insure large body develop- , ment by the pullets, insuring the pro- ( ducticn of large eggs when they come into production this fall. ? Of 6,000 birds in a recent Cana- , dian National Egg Laying Contest It was found that tho \te fed on a grow- , ing ration laid 51 more eggs that av- ; eraged 2.2 ounces more per dozen than those that were not proper ly fed during the growing season. Very important is the fact that, birds fed properly during, the growing pe riod come into production earlier in the fall, usually at a time when egg prices are starting upward, while birds that are not properly fed dur ing the growing period come into pro duction late and often when egg prices are starting downward. Yes, there's a real story back of that big egg at R. L. Davis & Bros. - ? During the 11 years that John Anderson has been th official rat an nMator f&r the city of Vancouver, B. C., he has killed more than 600,000 of the indent! on the subject. The highway commission has been appointed and is petting down to work. Mr. Jeffress will make and ex cellent chairman. As a matter of fact, the entire board is composed of men who can be depended upon to give North Carolina the very best of service. Leslie R. Ames will be at the head of the practical workings of the highway department, He is the right man in the right place. You know, when you come to consider the personnel of the commission, one by one, you can't help but agree that the governor showed real brains in selecting such a bunch of men to car ry on the road work of the state. They and Mr. Ames are going to do; some real work; you jyst wait and seel Getting back to Mr. MacLean again, I'm sort of the opinion that he was I mistaken in the assertion he made from the floor of the house relative to the pe-sonal conduct of some of the members. I was up in Raleigh last week and I personally inter viewed at least sixty members of the bouse apd senate. Jn every case I asked them the same questions. These questions and their answers were as follows; _ '. i "Have you yourself beep drinking too much liquor since you have been in Raleigh and have you been drunk since the legislature went Into ses sion?" "NO!" ., "Have you, yourself, been flirting . or otherwise been misbehaving with any of the beautiful and charming ladies who may have been in or near Raleigh since January 6?" "NOf!!" That seems to settle the issue in very definite fashion. Mr. MacLean probably got his information from in direct sources, so there is a chance that he might have been mistaken. I got mine direct from headquarters, so it's bound to be true. Jf it were not true, then the only possible con clusion would be that the men whom I had Interviewed had told me a rii- , rect lie. Preposterous, of course. Who ever ; beard of of a legislator telling a lie? EDGAR H. JONES DIES OF PNEUMONIA Edgar H. Jones, aged 53 years, well known and highly respected here, having been a resident for 25 years before moving to Washington, D.

' ? ? ? \ i . Raleigh, May 13.?The house rank ed chivalry above legislative courtesy yesterday, and as a result the Connof Crudup bill to tighten restrictions about employment of children under 16 in hazardous occupations was en acted into law. The house originally passed the bill preventing children under 16 from working in mines, around mov ing machinery and other occupations. It went to the senate, whether it was amended to provide that no occupa tion be labelled dangerous until so classified by the Child Welfare Com mission, and to make exceptions in cases where families were dependent upon the earnings of children above 14 so employed. The house refused to concur in, the amendments and the bill went to con ference without result. Yesterday the senate sent over a message asking th? retprp of the bill, Mrs. Mebane, of Rockingham, the lone lady of the house, made a mo tion that the house keep the bill and concur in the amendments which would bring about enactment. Brooks, of Durham, moved as a substitute that the bill be returned to the sen ate. It was indicated in the debate that the senate wanted the bill back to kill it The house voted down, 33 to 55, the Brooks motion to let the senate have the bill back, and passed so overwhelmingly that ho standing vote was required, the motion of Mrs. Jfeb ane. Despite considerable argument against further depleting the ranks of eligible jurors, the house passed the bill to exempt railroad brakemen Prom jury duty. x SEPTUAGENARIANS HOLD FIRST MEET, New OrganfaaijgB Be gins With Parade and Barbecue Dinner ? 1 ? Hi" ' Something "new under the sun" in < jrganizations is believed to have been : perfected here Tuesday, when the Sep ;uagenarians and Octagenarians of this and adjoining counties, met to gether to organize themselves into i unique group to be called the Sep tuagenarian Society. Thirty-two men, veterans of two Wars, and representing various oc :upations and walks in life, ranging I in years from 70 to 89, were given seats of honor on the Perlrins l|all 3tage Tuesday iqornjng, and the whole town turned out to do them honor, The meeting was opened with the singing of "America," The welcom ing address was made by R. T. Mar- 1 tin, local attorney, who briefly re dewed the wars represented by aged veterans 'present, and paid tribute to the heroes of the present and the ; past, and also remembered those who < are forced to remain at home, "to keep the home fires burning". A- J? 1 Moye, one of the Septuagenarians, responded. Watt Parker, by whose zeal and untiring enprgy the society 1 was originated and perfected, spoke on the value of such an organization i and suggested a motto, "Let honor be bestowed where honor lies," ( Mr. R. Jj. Davis, Farmvjlle's old est and most beloved citizen, and the 1 only living resident who witnessed 1 the first incorporation of .lie town 59 years ago, was honored by the rising of the assemblage when he arose to 1 speak. He is the only bachelor in J the society. Diixe was sung lustily and with ' great spirit preceding the address of Rev. Newsom Harrison, of Plymouth, a silver - -haired Confederate veteran | of 85 years, and an ambassador of ' God, who has served four Primitive 1 Baptist churches for the past 65 years and who. states that the chief ambi- ' tion of his life has been "the sowing 1 of the right seed at the right place 1 at the right time." He has the added : distinction of being the only Civil war ' veteran in Washington county, out : of the six mopanies which marched into the great struggle. His expres sion of love for his captain was touch ing, and one could not hear him with out feeling the heat of the burning patriotism which seemed to obsess the souls of the Southern men and made of them as fine soldiers as ever de spised death. Mr. Newson Harrison contrasted the principles of war with those of the Christian religion on "Peace on earth, good will towards men", and as one realized how very dose was this man of God to the life beyond, he eould almost see the light of the halo which surrounds the heads of the saints.

' Raleigh, May 14.?Sworn testimo ny of two indirect attempts to bribe senators to cote against the luxury ta was heard by the senate commit tee, charged with the investigation of reports of attempted corruption, at the first hearing yesterday aft ernoon. Senator John Hinsdale, author of the luxury tax, testified to the com mitteemittee that David H. Pope, chairman of Wake commissioners, had come to him with what he said was a message from W. N. Reynolds, then chairman of the'?board of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, to the effect that it would be "worth anything he wanted" if he would give up his fight for that form of sales tax. Mr. Pope testified in conflict that his only mission from Mr. Rey nolds was to endeavor to persuade Senator Hinsdale to give up the fight, and that there had been no offer made or reported by him. Faison Thompson, Go'dsboro law yer, testified to the committee that 1. J. Hatch, anotaer Goldsboro law yer, had told him it would be worth :onsiderable money to Senator Hugh Dortch if he would absent himself torn the senate on the night of Mon lay, May 4, the night the senate de bated the conference report which ncluded the Hinsdale luxury tax. Mr. [Tvompson said that he refused to ap iroach Senator Dortch. The commit ee had issued a summons for Mr. latch but the sergeant at arms re >orted that he could not be found at lis home in Goldsboro or located by elephcne at New Bern where he was ;upposed to be. Mr. Thompson, while on the stand 'estsrday, did not go as far in his estimony as he did when he talked o Judge Henry A. Grady in Washing on on Sunday, according to a state nent made by the judge yesterday, udge Grady said Mr. Thompson told dm that a senator came into room 46 while he was there, ?took the oth r man into the bathroom and that Tiompson, on the stand yesterday, old the committee that the only sen tor he knew that come into the room rhile he was talking to Mr. Hatch /as Senator John Umstead, of Or nge. The committee will continue its in estigation at 10 o'clock this mom tig, and Mr. Hatch will be examined a soon as he'can be found. No pro ess had been issued for Mr. Rey olds yesterday, it was learned from he chairman of the committee. Sen tor Ward, but it was the general pinion that he would testify before he committee, probably voluntarily, tefore the investigation is complete. I. Clay Williams, new president of he Reynolds company, was present t the hearing yesterday. The only other witnesses examined esterday were W. L. Long, of Roa ioke Rapids, a former president pro empoye of the senate, in whose room dr. Hatch is alleged to have spoken o Mr. Thompson, Ray Jones, hotel lerk, who brought the hotel records jicf A. C. House, former employe of dr. Long, who was called wfce^ the ommittee learned that the said fooni, lumber 346, was registered in the lame of E. C. House, a fictitious lame, Mr. Long told the committee. Though the committee heard Mr. 'ope as its first witness, his testi nony amounted to a denial of the .lost important part of Senator Hins ale's testimony. ^ARMVILLE ROTARIANS BRING HOME THE BACON Farmville Rotarians brought home he bacon last week from the Dur iam convention, the bacon taking the orm of a cup offered for attendance ased on membership and mileage.

' a Greenville, May 11.?Revaluation | of property in Pitt county will get y under way immediately. ^ This was the decision reached by t members of the board of commia- j sioners in adjourned session at the t court house here this morning. The c meeting was called solely for discu3 3iqn of this matter, and lasted only a j Bhort time. * c P, l?. Stone, head of the board of r county appraisers, stated that work in connection with the revalution r project would get under way as ear ly as possible. Th<= board of apprais- ^ ers was appointed by Mr. Stone last December, but never began work on r account of action of the legislature " postponing revalution. Mr. Stone said it was probable some members of the board would F not be able' to serve at this season of the year and that several days would be required to definitely settle this matter. It was estimated that the revalua- ^ tion program would cost the county ? between $8,000 and $10,000, altho it ^ is impossible to accurately determine the cost, _ The revalution program will be in- r creamngly difficult because of the ? fact that tax listing is already over in a the county, and it will be necessary ^ for the appraisers to check and re- j check the records many times before jj finally completing their work. It was not known how much time would be consumed m the work, but it was a recognized fact that several weeks would be involved.
