BILLS TO RELIEVE sHERIFFs
The House Decides That the Peopl
Also are Entitled to Relief.

Quite discussion arose over bill
to relieve eX-Sheriff C. NJ. Griffith, oi
Davidson county. He wanted permission
to go hack to 1891 10 collect the taxes
The bill. though unfavorably reported
was urged by Mr.. Thompson, of David
son; Mr.. Julian. of Rowan; Mr.. Nichol
son, of Beaufort: Mr.. Leatherwood, OF
Swain. and Mr.. Moore. of Jackson.
Mr. Boushall, for the Finance Commit
tee. explained that there were n Dozen
or two bills before the Legislature just
like this. The committee had reported
them all unfavorably and had drawn q
general bill for the relief of sheriffs and
tax collectors back as far as 1895.
This man has been granted the very
relief he is now asking,b the last tive
Legislatures. Now here he comes ano
asks the same thing again.
/. Suppose You give him this relief
again. There are thirty or forty other
bills before the House exactly like it,
Push the fence down for one, and il
must come down for all of them. The
Finance Committee viii have to go bach
and take mp all these bills again and
they'll not get through this session
Mr.. Alexander, Of rutherford, spoke
much to the same effect.
He said the people needed some relief
as well rs the sheriffs. The sheriffs have
used the tax books as electioneerine
schemes and have not collected the taxes
as they ought TO have done and We're re-
auircd by law to do.
This man not only failed to collect
his taxes. bur he has twice asked this
relief and got it and he has NOT taken
advantage Of it,
Mr.. Boushall moved TO table and Mr.
Moore, Of Jackson, called the ayes and
noes. The call was sustained.
The following members explained their
votes: Moore. of jackson; Boushall. OF
Wake; Alexander. of Rutherford Hol-
man. of Iredell; Brown. of Johnston;
Leatherwood. of Swain: Nicholson. OF
Beaufort.
The roll call resulted: Ayes, SO; noes
IS.
Later the discussion was renewed by
Mr.. Craig and Mr.. Boushall over n bill
to relieve the tax collector of Buncombe
county. -
Finally Mr.. Craig so amended the bill
as to meet Mr.. Boushall's objections
and it passed.

From Welsh to Spanish.

A very long time ago the British
government ordered that English should
be taught in Welsh schools AS a result,
in 1860 a colony of prosecuted Welsh
miners fled from the British tyranny
and settled in the deserts of Patagonia.
These men We're heroes, and with most
magnificent courage they dared to live
in desert where not plant would
grow, where the water was brackish
and the heat intolerable. They were
surrounded by wild tribes of hostile
savages and made them warm friends;
they We're ruled by foreign govern
ment and became loyal citizens.
Through long years of want and
famine they never despaired. They
have turned the desert into a beautiful
fertile country, have become rich, num-
Der 5000 people, have extended their
string of settlements right across South
America, own paying railway and
ship large crops of wheat, wool, ostrich
feathers and quanaco skins.
They left Wales to escape the tyranny
of the English language and now, rather
than talk Welsh. they converse largely
of their freedom in excellent Spanish.
