Governor Kitchin has issued a
proclamation calling the legisla
ture - together in extraordinary
session on June 14 to provide
ways and means for readjusting
the state bonds falling due on
July 1.
The News regrets that sickness
makes it impracticable for us to
be present at the meeting of the
State Press. Association and the
Good Roads Association, now in
annual session' at "Wrightsville
Beach. ' ; . j .
( . v
It would be the best thing just
at this time if some method could
be devised to readjust the, bond
-issue muddle other than by an
extraordinary session of the leg
islatureV which. would be an aHd
ed expense to 'tjie State and a
special, annoyance and 'burden to
the people at this the ; crop-making
time. : ; v. ; :
-The route of the survey of the
new. roadway to Tryon is said to
be a great improvement over the
' old line. The work of, grading it
; is thought1 will be - comparatively
light ; and inexpensive, thereby
'opening the way for putting
down a thoroughly first-class and
subs tantiaK highway, which will
be a credit to the promoters and
builders and a lasting monument
- to the wisdom, public, spirit and
progressiveness of the people of
Columbus township.
; At a meeting of the Democratic
executive committee of the 14th
judipial district- at Marion on
May 31 it was decided to hold the
'district convention ..at Marion,
that place being centrally located
and capable of accommodating a
u large crowd of visitors. July 7
is y the date set for the calling of
the:: convention, which promises
t 'some interesting events for the
Democrats of this district. They
. 'will jilace in the field candidates
for both judge and solicitor of
the i4th . judicial district For
the judgeship two well known
fl., - men are seeking the honors: 11;
: tu Justice 01 Kutherxora county
and J. F. Spainhoiir 01 Burke.
'From'every county in the district ;
jr candidate is bobbing up for so
licitor, prominent and well in the
front ranbeing our esteemed
townsman, Mr. J. E. Shipman
of Coiumbus,V There will also be

If it had ever before been
wondered why Democracy has
been pictured as a jack as the
recent circus in Wake county,
North Carolina, removes die
mystery and makea clear and
plain the proposition. It has been
there the same old fight, the
fight as old as history. The Ins

According to an exchange ths
man who went out 'to milk and
sat down on .a boulder in the
middle of the pasture and wait
ed for the cow to back-up was a
brother to the man who kept, a
store, and wouldn't advertise,
because he reasoned that the
purchasing public would back
up to his place of business when
it wanted anything.
It Should Operate Bolh Ways.
The Commoner.
If a saloon Keeper denies the
right of the farmers living out
side of town to vote on the
licensing of saloons in the town,
ask him what he would think of
a law restricting the sale of liq
uor to people living in the town.
Will the saloon keeper insist that j
he has a right to fill a man with
liquor and send him out into the
county.. to create a disturbance!
and then deny that the people!
who are disturbed have a right
to be heard? The farmers' are
beginning to see that they have
rigiits as sacred as those claimed
by the liquor dealer.

Oh,' John," cried the farmer's
wife, "J'm afraid I've taken that
dreadful new 'disease I" "
"What makes. you think so,
dear?" he asked, alarrned, gath

story of her fears upon his broad
shoulder. v
Well," she explained," "after
I have gotten iip," dressed myself
and the chilclren, cooked, break
fast, washed the dishes, prepared
the children for school, strained
the new milk and set it away to
cool, churned and. worked the
butter, swept and dusted, done
the ironing, given baby his bath,
cooked dinner and washed the
dishes, sewed all the afternoon,
cooked suDoer and washed the
dishes, undressed the children
