twcntythree challenges. was enacted
when the defendant did not enjoy the
privileges that he now does in the courts
How many times have you seen a mis-
carriage of justice when the defendant
practically walked into the street and
chose his jury from his own friends aud
acquaintances. Beside that, since
this law was put on the
statute books the causes for chal-
lenge have been increased: and
what is more the jury exemptions have
been increased. Now 'huhoes' and buns
and loafers stand around the court
house corners to get on the jury and
the good citizens try to escape jury duty.

Of necessity. want to know il IA change

moi do away with the huboes and pro

This pronunciation of the word hobo
struck the members of the House as
mighty funny. and some of them began
10 take the bill as n joke.
Mr. Rountree, of New Hanover, saw
this. lie said he thought there was
much force in what the gentleman from
Jackson (M0orel had said, and he there

And They Shot at Him Numerically
From All Directions.
The real fun was. however, still to
come.
Senator Wards bin for increasing the
number Of commissioners in Washington
county came up on the calendar for
action by the House.
Mr. Tarkinton. of Washington. said
he didn't want the bill passed.
Mr. Thompson, of 0nslow, said the
bill was for the purpose of putting the
Democrats in power in Washington
county.
There's no use Disgusting its inten-
tion. The Democrats are in power and
they will be held responsible for the
good government of every county in
the State. for the reason that they can
take charge of their affairs if they
will" (Applause.)
Mr. Tarkintn: ''This is Senator
Wards bin and he doesn't want it pass
ed. lie just introduced it to get anoth-
or bill through
Mr. Gillian. of Edgecombe: did
Mr.. Ward authorize you to state that
he didn't want this bin passed."
Mr. Tarkinton "He did authorize
me 70 object TO the bill
Mr.. Nicholson: MIR. Ward only
recently told me he did want this bill
passed"
Mr.. Gattis. of Orange; Mr.. Gillian. of
Edgccomhe; and Mr.. Carraway, of Le-
noir. had all had conversations with
Senator Ward that morning and TO
each one he had expressed anxiety Ia
get the bill through the House at the
earliest hour.
Mr.. Tarkinton, still insisting that he
had talked with Senator Ward and that
the Senator did not want the bill pass
ed. sent forward an amendment to re-
duce the number of new commissioners
TO two instead of three.
Mr. Winston. of BERTHE: "Would that
not keep the political complexion of the
board the same as now:
Mr.. Tarkinton: my understanding
is that the present board is non-par-
tisan one
Mr. Winston 'Well. it'll not be al
lowed TO remain so. for the non-parti-
san board is an ideality that the people
of Eastern North Carolina haven't been
able. as vet. to comprehend"
The bin was about to be nut on its
passage. when Mr.. Tarkinton said he
wanted to make 4 few remarks on to
this BILL
Mr. Gillian: ''Did you vote for that
negro member of the board of COM
missioners
Mr.. Tarlkinton. II can saw some
thing many Democrats can't saw. new
or voted for one Of them in my life.
Mr. Tarkinton reviewed the condition
OF his county. acknowledging thai it
was not good. financially or politically.
