THE GOVERNORS SALARY.
The Bill Increasing 1t Will likely
BE Withdrawn.
Especial Dispatch 10 The Times.

Especial LlSf'dt.'h 10 L nc i tlLcS.J
RALEIGH, n. c., Jan. 12.-Strong oppo-
sition TO the bill passed by the Senate
yesterday increasing the salary of the
Governor to $1,000 developed when it came
up for concurrence in the House this at
ternoon. A special committee reported
it favora bly,, but Graham (Dem) opposed
action and succeeded in getting post
ponement until Monday. when it will be
the special order for 1870 o'clock. Action
must be taken Monday or the act will not
be effective in providing the increase of
salary for AycOck, the incoming Gov
ernor.
Some members contend that the act
cannot affect him anyway, because the
constitutional term begins January list
and the salary cannot be increased during
his term. a prominent Democratic MEM
Der said to-day that the principal opposi-
ton was for the reason that they did not
care to provide for an increase of salary
if Aycock will not profit by it. as politics
is so unsettled in the State that they
would have chagrin Of realization finally
that their work would provide larger
income for q Republican or other political
alien Governor.
1t is intimated that friends of Aycock
may request and secure the withdrawal
of the bill Monday rather than precipi-
tate a fight over the matter.
A bill was introduced in the Senate to-
day for Incorporating a State Optical
Society and providing for the establish
5ment of Board of Examiners, through
whom a license must be obtained before
a person can practice optics in the State.
The principal object is to put stop TO
fake travelling opticians. who now go
through the State misadjusting glasses
TO the eyes of citizens. and. it is charged,
doing a vast and irreparable injury.

TOO MANY ELECTIONS.

1t is the opinion of a great many proni-
nent party leaders that the coming Con
,titutionaI Convention will lnauSurate
some sweeping reforms along the line of
aboIishing and consolidating offices IN the
State.
1t is held by those who favor the idea
that there are entirely too many elections
in the State at present, ana that tlle
system now in vogue keeps the people
stirred up from one years end to another
with elections and political matters, the
number of which might easily be reduced,
and at the same time result III an I'M
proved public service and a saving OF eN-
pense to the taxpayers of the state.
1t is proposed by some to consoluate the
spring and fall elections so that the peo-
ple might have an occasional surceaSe
by oft repeated controversies, ana IT IS
also contended that the number OF elective
offices should be reduced.
APPOINT COMMISSIONERS
The suggestion i, offered that
commissioners of the revenue as
well as many other officers in the
counties should be appointed rather than
chosen by the people, and that the office
of county treasurer and sheriff might
well be consolidated.
It is also suggested that the terms of
the commemorative attorneys should be
iensthened and the State divided UP into
judicial districts, having one attorney for
several counties.
There is hardly doubt that the mat
ter of reducing the number of elective Of
fices and otherwise doing away with the
necessity for so many elections is a popu-
lar movment with the people. as on al
most every hand it is heard that there is
entirely too much politics in Virginia.

Special Council Meeting.

special meeting of the borough
council was held Wednesday evening to
hear the report from the ordinance COM
mittee. The committee was instructed
to ascertain the status of the ordinance
enacted some years ago which called
for the taxing of poles, wires, water
mains, etc, in the borough.
An opinion from Solicitor O'Donnell
on the subject was presented by the
committee. The solicitor reviewed the
history of the ordinance to time when
1t was placed in the hands of former
committee for amendment, after which
the records show no trace of it. He
gave it as his opinion that the ordn-
ance at this date is ineffective.
Council then instructed the committee
to draft new ordinance which will
cover all corporations enjoying borough
franchises.

We don't. The fact is we are
hard to please ourselves-first about
clothes, then about manufactures;
in fact, everything else pertaining
to the clothes we sell. But there
is the success of our ever increas-
ing business.
The worry is done in advance of
you. The "hard please" man
