Record Session Quits
To Tuneful Singing of
"Till We Meet Again"
Hundred and Forty-first
Day Sees Mad Rush of
Last Minute Legisla
tion; Appropriations,
Including Schools, The
Heaviest in History.
Raleigh, May 27.?To the accom
paniment of the throated strains of
"God Be With You Till We Meet
Again," the longest session of the
General Assembly in the history of
the state, adjourned sine die at ex
actly 9:49 o'clock last night.
President Fountain, of the senate,
and Speaker Smith of the house,
sounded the death knell with simul
taneously resounding gavels as mem
bers and spectators sung and cheerei'
in a good natured disorderly finale
to the most hectic session of this cen
tury.
The legislators quit in violation of
the constitutional requirement that
they redistrict the senate And reap
portion the house upon the basis of J
the last census, and the dying hours |
of the assembly were featured by an
effort to repeal a law passed early
in thef session to prevent employment
of children under 16 years of age in
hazardous occupations. This repealer,
backed by industrial interests, passed
the house by a vote of 44 to 20, but
failed in the senate.
Quitting on its 141st day five days
in excess of the previous endurance
record established by the Reconstruc
tion legislature of 1868-1869, the as
sembly largely exceeded the record of
bills and resolutions passed last ses
sion although that session ran only
70 days and failed to attain the rec
ord of the 1927 session, which lasted
only 64 days. This legislature enact
ed 1,206 bills and resolutions, while I
the 1927 record was 1,246, and that!
of 1929 was 1,111. j.
For the first time in the memory,
of man, no general employee's bonus
bill was "introduced on the last day,
although the senate, did start two for
individuals which the house promptly
kliled.
At final passage in the senate of
the revenue bill and its enactments {1
were formalities after the 120 day 1
battle over it, the biggest business 1
before the assembly on the last day
was the passage of the appropriations 1
bill, allotting approximately $57,000,
000 to state institutions, which now
include the public schools and depart
ments.
The amount is the largest in the
history of the state despite drastic
cuts for both maintenance and per
sonnel. In this total, however, is
reflected $9,000,00 to be raised by the
15-eent ad valorem levy for public
schools, as the entire school mainten
ance fund is included.
Although the assembly failed to
entirely relieve property of the bur
den of the six months school, it did
provide substantial tax relief through
its road and school legislation, and
despite the general impression gained
from its long revalue deadlock, that
it had accomplished little, the 1921
assembly did:
Adopt the principle of the Mac
Lean school law providing for state
instead of county operation of the
six months schools.
Give state supervision and control
of 45,000 miles of county roads and
some 4,000 convicts to be used in j
maintaining them.
Create -an Eleventh congressional
district but failed to redistrict for the
state senate or reapportion for the
house.
Create a central purchasing agency.
Create a personnel commission.
Consolidate North Carolina State
College, State College and North Car

versity of North Carolina.
Provide $400,000 for the erection of
a new central prison.

cal government finances.
Organize a new system of bank su
pervision.
Enact largest revenue bill in his
. {pry, estimated to raise about $26,
000,000 annually, including a 16-cent
county ad valorem tax. (Experts esti
mate that it will result in a $4,000,
000 deficit.)

GOVNOR GARDNER
I PROPHESIES
Believes MacLean Law Will Be Ao
copied by 1931 Legislature as Its
Guiding Principle.
The closing of the legislature was
given an unprecedented added attrac
tion last night when Governor Gard
ner came up and participated in the
final hilarities.
Spotted in the crowd in the house
lobby by Representative Garribaldi,
occupying the chair, the Governor ?
was dragged forward and yielded to j
a tumultous demand for a speech. \
The Governor halted the merry dis- (
order to make a serious speech, de- ]
claring that he believed "this session j j
would go down in history as one of | ]
the most constructive assemblies in
history, not merely as the longest ses- \
sion. ]
"I believe the MacLean law will ?
be accepted by the 1933 assembly as \
its guiding principle, and I believe \
the State will by then be able to sup- ,
port the schools without levying one (
penny of ad valorem," he declared. s
j
uation until 1934, but recognize reval
uations already made by allowing a 10 <
per cent adjustment in the discretion t
of commissioners. j
Reorganize the State Board of i

ment Commission.

public service corporations.
Change basis of licensing automo
biles, increasing gasoline tax on cent
peri gallon, to six cents.
Representative Harris brought in
the appropriations conference report,
which -was signed by every member
of both house and senate committees.
The report cuts out the senate in
crease of $6,300 for the department
of labor; provides for at least ten
per cent aggregate reductipn of state
employes' salaries, but prohibits cut
ting school teachers more than any
other class.
The appropriation for the 3ix
months school term, was placed at
$17,000,000, including fines and forfei
tures, estimated at $1,300,000. The
bill carries $1,500,000 for extended
term relief and $150,000 for an emer
gency fund.
T>w? sum of $2,600 was set ud for
Dr. Albert Anderson and James Ad- j
ams' legal expenses in their late trial.
The house originally voted down an i
appropriation of $7,500 for this pur- e
pose, but the senate reinserted a re- c
imbursement clause carrying $5,000. t
The conferees cut it to $2,600. i
The University is cut from $750,- s
000 a year in the senate bill to $721,- j
000, against $724,000 in the original j
house bill. i

was increased from $357,000 to $380,- i

Appalachian Training School gets L
$84,000 and W. C. T. C. $60,000, ntii- c

The only state department to get j
an increased appropriation was the \
revenue department, whose, allotment t
was boosted $40,000 to take care of
extra duties imposed upon it by the t
new revenue bill. The department i
will get $232,600 for each year of the t
biennium. I
The report limits the salary of the t
executive counsel of the governor "to <

Ward Presents
His Own Report
Chairman of The Senate
Investigating Commit
tee Files Supplemental
Statement.
Raleigh, May 27.?Senator H. S.
Ward, of Beaufort,'chairman of the
Senate Investigating Committee, yes
terday filed a supplemental report
on the part of himself as one mem
ber of the committee charged with
investigation of reports of attempted
bribery of senators.
Senator Ward's report was not read
to the senate as Senator Jones, Sen
itor Folger and others objected to it.
["he full-committee report, carried in
the press yesterday, and which Sena
tor Ward signed, was by vote of the
senate referred to the investigation
rommittee. The supplemental report,
i formal senate record,- follows in
full:
"At the first hearing helq by this
?ommittee, Mr. Williams, president of
;he Reynolds Tobacco Company, ap
jeared by his own request, and made
i statement, which appears in the
?ecord, especially urging the commit
ee, if it found anything improper, as
igainst that company, it be declared
jy a specific finding, and if it found
lothing, to make a like specific find
ng to that effect and in justice to
;he company. The general report,
tubmitted and approved by the ma
jority of the committee as to form
ind substance -contains no reference
x) it and fails to comply with thi3
?equest.
"After signing that report at the
dosing hours of the session Monday,
day 26, leaving the same to be filed
>y other members of the committee, I
vas approached in my room by a rep
resentative of the Reynolds Tobacco
-ompaay, Mr. Murphy, of Salisbury,
irtd urged that the report ought to"
espond to that request, with the in
listence that as the testimony, taken
>y the committee and submitted, fail
id to show any improper conduct on
;he part of the company, or any of
ts representatives in the matters and
hings under investigation, a specific
inding should be made as requested
>y Mr. .Williams, exonerating the
:ompany from suggestions of impro
>riety.
"It is not my own intention i
- - - ?. -1 _ <? At, _
hat ol any otner memDer 01 me
ommittee to withhold from the com
>any any form or substance in ti;o 1
>ort to which it is entitled.
"Compelling absence from the sen
ite at this hour and possibly to the
snd of the session, and the urgency
>f the request of the company that
he finding, as above stated should be
nade, I submit this as my own per
ional supplement to the report, in ex
>lanatior of failure of the general re
>ort to comply with Mr. Williams'
?e quest, and my refusal to accede to
he request of reforming the general
?eport, urged last night, as above
itated.
"Senator Lovill was also of the
>pinion that the express finding ex
onerating the company from impro
>riety should be made. I disagree
vrth that view and for that reason
his report is submitted.
"It was admitted by Mr. Williams
hat in the early days of the session,
ind certainly as early as the introduc
ion of the hearings on the revenue
?ill, he left his offu

Open Warfare Narrowly
Averted in Mayors' Tour
' \. * A ??;C*.''. ? ? '
Paris, May 27.?American mayors
touring France were forced today to
establish a soviet council to govern
their tour and attempt to end fric
tion among themselves.
Their controversy over whether
they should drink* liquor at public af
fairs in France has been followed by
a threatened dispute over leadership
of their tour.
? After a day of smouldering argu
ments and suppressed-sneers, a pub
lic controversy was narrowly averted
at a luncheon at the town hall. The
mayors then decided to settle their
difficulties in private and went into
secret executive session at Claridges
to determine ' who should make
speeches representing the party and
how long th?y should speak.
The trouble had come: into the
open after as 30-minute address at the
tomb of the Unknown Soldier by
Mayor George Baker, of Portland,
Oregon, who previously had been
elected cha&fegan of the party. After
the spetech some of the mayors com
plained that Baker was dominating

pagne spurred the controversy, and 1
it almost broke into a public affair 1
at the conclusion of spectacular mu- ]
nicipal ceremonies for presentation of ]
a bust of the late American Ambassa- i
dor, Myron. T. Herrick.
At that '? time Mayor Daniel W. -l
Hoan, of Milwaukee, turning arbiter, <
suggested that a different chairman :
be named by the party each day. 1
Others in the party, however, ex- <
pressed a desire to settle this thing i
right here in the town hall. I
Baker urged the mayors to be quiet,
jaying that it was unbecoming to ?
.tart a dispute in the presence of the
lignified mayor of the Paris munici
pal council, Count Jean de Castellane
nd Marshal Lyautey. 1
There was some heated comment <
md the matter was passed over un- <
il the mayors went into secret ses
ion at Claridges. }
A committee of five mayors was 1
named, representing all sections of
Ae country, and instructed to act as
n sort of soviet council in governing 1
the remainder of the tour. They will 1

Wife Siu b For Su^ort,
Against Husband
Fayetteville, May 27.?Another
chapter has been added in the charges
and counter charges passed-by J. W.
Bain, Mrs. Bain and Dr. J. H. Nor
man, physician at the State Prison
in Raleigh, The new angle is a suit
filed by Mrs. Mary M&nessa Bain
against her husband asking the court
to force him to support her. The
complaint registered with the pupe
rior court clerk here contains some
severe charges..
In March James W. Bain filed a
suit for $50,000 against Dr. Norman,
charging alienation of his wife's af
fections, and asserting that the pris
on doctor had broken up his home as
the result of association with Mrs.
Bain which began when the latter
was visiting her father at the State
Prison. In hii answer Dr. Norman
denied all the charges.
Mrs. Baiii alleges that after mov
ing to Fayettevjlle from Dunn her
husband began to engage in drunken
sprees, gambling and association with
lewd women; that he neglected his
business, losthil interest in his home,
slapped his wife,, ahrsed his mother
in-law, and fought his brother;. broke
up the househfl^^forniture and fired
with a pisfo the doors and I
walls. The Sabjr^? crib was among
the articles saidhave been broken
' ?
The complaint states that after
abandoning Isw on March 16 Mr. Bain
has lived in a suite of rooms in a lo
cal hotel. Mrs. Bain says that he is
owner of a thriving business, is ca
pable of making $500 a month and
well able to take care of her.*
Interest Growing in
"Made in North Caro
lina Week" June 1-6.
Raleigh, May 28.-?interest is grow
ing apace in the "Made in North
Carolina Week" and "National Cot
ton Week," both of which come dur
ing the first Week in June, according
to Col. J. W. Harrelson, Director of
the State Department of Conserva
tion and Development. Several score
cities and towns in the State have
' ? ?? ? .1 ? 1 JL_
have announced tnat tneir mercnants
are pushing this event, the aim of
which is to acquaint the people of
North Carolina with what is made in
their State; to increase the sale of
home made goods to local consumers;
and, in the long run, to bring about
industrial diversification.
Governor Gardner has officially
set aside June 1-6 as "Made in North
Carolina Week" by proclamation.
The samfe week has been designated
as "National Cotton Week" by the
Cotton Textile Institute. This latter
movement has the active support and
cooperation of the United States De
partments of Commerce and Agricul
ture. If these movements have the
fullest cooperation they will stimulate
retail business, encourage local indus
trial production, and increase the
consumption of raw materials, such
as cotton, tobacco, lumber and simi
lar raw products entering into manu
facturing' processes. This in burn will
keep money at home to pay addition
al wages, make possible additional
buying and stimulate all industrial
and commercial activity.
The main purpose of this movement
however, is to have retail merchants
stock, mark and push the sale of.
North Carolina made goods during
the week of June 1-6. Merchants
who entered into this campaign last
year found that it was not merely a
latch phrase, but that the people
were anxious to buy goods made in
the home State. One merchant re
ported that his sales during "Made in
Worth Carolina Week" last year were
more than in any two months except
December. "It is at the'request of
some of these merchants that the
campaign is being repeated this
year," said Colonel Harrelson. The
wise merchant will make the best of
this opportunity to increase his saies
and to acquaint his clientele with
goods made in North Carolina.

Whereas, North Carolina is endow
ed with great natural resources that
should be utilised more effectively
for the benefit of all the people of
the state in manufacturing processes,
and,
Whereas, the State has made mate
rial strides in the development of in
dustries for the exploitation of these
natural advantages, but since the de
velopment of these resources has
hardly begun despite this recorded
progress;
Therefore, as Governor of North
Carolina, I proclaim the period of
June 1-6, as
"MADE IN NORTH CAROLINA
WEEK"
. . ? 1 'k% 5 ' ? -- ?!? _1- f 1.1
Eau upon every citizen 01 tne
and every organization inter
in her continued progress to
join in the celebration of the occasion
with suitable programs and other
features calling attention to her pro
ducts and the need v* more industries
to .utilize raw materials in manufac
turing processes. Such a develop
ment jijiust be brought about if the
people of North Carolina are to reai
ize their rightful proportion of wealth
and advantages accruing from wise
exploitation of their natural re
sources.
I urge particularly the manufactur
ers and merchants of the State to
use every facility at their command
to familiarize the public with the in
dustrial products of North Carolina
to the end that a better appreciation
may be had of their place in the lives
of the people and that further devel
opment may be encouraged. With
the whole hearted cooperation of the
manufacturers and merchants, North
Carolina can stage what may correct
ly be termed an original and unique
Statewide Industrial Exposition with
MJfeatuggU^erory community.-: ?~
During the week of June 1-6, I
trust that every merchant's display
window will be an exhibit booth for
North .Carolina-made products and
that insofar as is practicable Ids
shelves will be sales counters for
these same goods. The further sug
gestion is made that all articles orig
inating in the State be so designated
by appropriate tags, labels or ban
ners.
I also urge upon the public the de
sirability of visiting the stores of
merchants cooperating in the move
ment and inspecting the wares mark
ed as having been made in this State.
As a contribution to a return of bet
ter times and a general stimulation
of business, I commend to the buy
ing public the desirability of purchas
ing as much as possible of its needs
during "Made in North Carolina
Week." If this movement receives
the impetus and public cooperation
which has been indicated, I believe
that it will have a salutary effect on
business which will be reflected to
the benefit of every rural and city a
dweller of the State.
