His Game.
Mimosa Golf Club, Morganton,
May 20.—Pro Mac McCombs of the
Hickory Country club, and E. J.
Cole, Mimosa club professional,
drank deep from the sweet cup of
revenge here Tuesday afternoon.
They defeated Pete and Fred
Webb, famous golfing brothers from
Shelby, three up in an 18-hole j
match that produced some of the
best golf playing seen on the local
course in many a day. In a previous
match the Shelby pair had defeated
McCombs and Cole eight up with
Lady Luck taking a leading role.
McCombs carried off the low
score honors for the match yester
day with a 75 for the 18 holes, throe
above par. Pete Webb came next
with a 78, while Cole and Fred
Webb each shot 81.
Cole and McCombs’ low ball for
the first nine holes was even par
and one under par for the second
nine. The Webb boys' low ball on
the first round also hit par, but was
three over on the second.
Pete Webb shot a birdie on No.
18 and stroked around par all the
way, but Fred was a little off his
usual form. Cole started off hot
with a birdie on the first hole and
duplicated on No. 5. Mac crashed
through with a birdie on No. 10 and
sank a putt from the edge of the
green op No. 11 for a par four. Then
he got better than ever and shot a
birdie 4 on No, 12 followed by
another on No. 14 to hang up the
low score.

adoption there became the first
reading.
In the senate the adoption came
after a motion to reconsider the
vote by which the report was re
jected yesterday had prevailed with
out opposition.
Senator Clarkson of Mecklen
burg switched from the position he
maintained Wednesday and yester
day voted to accept the report of
the conference, which recommends
a 16-eent ad valorem levy for the
state supported six months' school
term.
Senator Johnson of Duplin play
ed the role Senator Burrus of Guil
ford assumed Wednesday and
changed his vote from "no” to "aye'*
so as to be in position to move for
another reconsideration today.
Clarkson Changes Vote.
Senator Clarkson offered a reso
lution to prohibit the cutting of
teachers' salaries more than 10 per
cent and announced he would vote
for the conference report if his
resolution were adopted by the sen
ate. An attempt to suspend the
rules for Immediate passage of the
Clarkson resolution failed, and .It
was sent to the education commit
tee.
The senate recessed at 1:45 o’clock
to permit the committee to act. The
committee rejected the Clarkson
resolution but gave a favorable re
port to a substitute which differed
from the original In that It would
prevent the cuttlpg of principals’
and superintendents', salaries more
than 10 per cent as well as teach
ers’
Report Quickly Adopted.
The substitute was passed when
the senate reconvened, and Imme
diately the conference' report was
adopted by the vote of 25 to 21.
When Senator Clarkson of Meck
lenburg offered his resolution he an
nounced he had voted against the
report, feeling that It would badly
cripple the schools of the state. In
explaining his action he said, "I
realize the seriousness of the posi
tion I am taking. It Is too much re
sponsibility for flesh and blood to
bear, but I am willing to take the
responsibility. If I am wrong, God
have mercy! I think I am right.”
The conference compromise reve
nue bill calls for the state support
of schools by leaving a 15-cent tax
on land, which Is a considerable re
duction in land tax, and raising the
remainder by general sales tax.
Representative Edwards, of Cleve
land county, voted for the bill, and
Senator Peyton McSwaln, who Is
at his home In Shelby, was paired
