“Wlvi'e I do not believe there t
finy immediate and urgent deman
to change the charter, and believ
furthermore that changes should
not be hastily. I do think that th
‘town cf Shelby' in the charted
should be made to read ‘city oi
Shelby* as it looks n little unesua1
for a town to be sel'ing $100.00'

I suppose I will try to get the last
bill made into a law revising U

depends entirely upon whether o
not the legislature has time to do
anything about Ideal hills after the*

Mull Measures.
Representative Mull lias been
rather successful with the bills lie
has introduced at the present term,
not only with State measures he
sponsored but also with local bills
His bill amending the law for
better prohibiten enforcement in
Cleveland county has already been
ratified. This bill provide that of
ficers receive n $5 foe for all ar
rests in cbnnecUon with the viola
tion of the prohibition laws.
Another Mull bill which has al
ready been ratified is that :so
amending the law about the solici
tor of county court that it removes
the county from any liability in
paying the fees of the ; oltcitor in
case the defendant does not. or can
not. In other words the law now
Is that the recorder s court solici
tor does not get his $3.50 fee for
conviction unless the defendant
pays it. Which is to say that in
cases where the convicted defend
ant is sent to jail or the gang and
does not pay the coats the count?
will not have to pay the fee out of
the county treasury us heretofore.
No. 4 Township.
Two recent bills introduced by
Mr. Mull were to combine the Grov
er and Kim s Mountain highway
commissions and to permit prison
er* of this county to be worked up
on the roads of other counties.
Neither of these bills may be rati
fied. however, due to the fact that
the legislature’ may adjourn before
they are reached for final passage
on the calendar. There are at p
ent three road commlsstonsNin No.
4 Township. Mr. Mull explained,
one at Kings Mountain, one at
Grover, and one at • East Kings
Mountain. To facilitate read work
the bill was introduced to combine
the Kings Mountain and Grover
boards.
Two Bl'N Boat
Both of the Kings Mountain
bills introduced by Representative
Mull were reported unfavorably by
the committees. These bills had to
do with proposed bonds tin the town
of Kings Mountain.
•‘The legislature, in nry opinion,
will adjourn in just about 10 days,
Mr Mull said.

Washington Star Contradicts Sen
ator’s Own Statement That
He Would.
(H E. C. Bryant in Charlotte
Observer.!
Washington, March 8. — The
Washington Star of today says that
Senator Simmons is not expected to
run for the senate next year. The
Star is In error, for Senator Sim
mons lias announced that he would
be a candidate to succeed himself.
The Star story reads: “The sen
ator in the states of the old south
whose terms expire in 1931 are:
Heflin, Alabama: Robinson, Ar
kansas; Harris, Georgia: Ransdell,
Louisiana; Harrison, Mississippi:
Glass. Virginia; Sheppard. Texas;
Tyson, Tennessee, and Simmons,
North Carolina, who is not expect
ed to run again."
This statement was made in con
nection with an interview'with Dr.
A. J. Barton, of the Southern Bap
tist convention, who, with Bishop
James Camion, organized and di
rected the Asheville anti-Smith
conference last summer.
Doubts Penalization.
Dr. Barton said tiiat he doubted
if the southern voters would try to
penalize those Democrats who voted
for Smith. He took a shot at John
j. Raskob. national Democratic
chairman.
Discussing Ule cumins
over seats in congress, Dr. Barton
said:
■‘Of course, the personal equation
will enter into any contests that
may develop. The southern people
ate conservative, however, and I
doubt that the people will be in
clined to penalize men with good
records just because they ran coun
ter to their convictions in the presi
dential campaign. I do not doubt
that some of the senators and rep
-esentatives will have opposition in
"931 that might not have develop
'’d had they taken a different
course, but I do not think the op
-Kxsition will be serious enough to
defeat them.”
Dr. Barton is chairman of the
-'xecutive committee of the Anti
Saloon League, and office secretary
of the home mission board of the
"Southern Baptist convention.
