The Henderson-Polk county line
matter came up in the House OF
Representatives last Wednesday
with an unfavorable report from
the committee on Propositions
and Grievances, but was r%e-refer-
red to the same COMMITTEES upon
motion of Mr.. Gallert, of Ruth
erford, who claimed that he had
been unable to attend the hearing
on Tuesday which resulted with
an adverse report. Having given
both sides to the controversy three
long and patient hearings, the
committee again put the stamp of
disapproval upon the measure and
here the matter rests at this writ
ing. However, some advocate of
the proposition may bring it from
it's hiding any day and provoke
another fight. But Henderson
county's representatives have
made out a strong case and there
is little likelihood of the measure
even passing the House.
Eighteen local bills have been
introduced into the two branches
of the General Assembly by Hem
derson's senator and representa-
tive. Two of.them, the lake chart
or and amendment to Henderson
vile graded school have gone
through and are now ''the law of
the land" The new road law has
passed the Senate and two read
ings in the House; the bill au-
thorIzing a special tax, one for
the relief of w. J. Davis, anoth-
er repeating the act establishing
the city chain gang, one to dis
pose of funds derived from the
sale of certain real estate and still
another repeating the drainage
laws have passed the house and
are before. senate committees.
Two bills affecting the game laws
of the county are also under con-
sideration by committees of the
senate. Charters establishing
graded schools at Pleasant Hill,
Fletcher, Crab Greek, ,Rymer's
etc, have been considered in the
senate branch and are on the
House calender at this writing
with favorable recommendation
from the committee on Education
so there is not likely to be any
difficulty in getting them through.
A bill allowing the Flat Rocl
Country Club the privilege of sell
ing Spirituous drinks and one
creating a primary election Law
for Henderson county were re
ported unfavorably by committee
of the House. One referring tx
poll tax is reclining with Judic
iary committee No. l.. The bill
for relief Of former Tax ColIecto,
Rhodes will be put in an omnibul
measure.

Der of private letters urging the
repeal of thu law referred to In
the above petition. A small Pc
tition was received against the
proposition, but the opposition
was In the minority to such an
extent that he has decided to let
the bill pass and it will doubtless
soon be a thing of the past
for the Clear Greek farmers
to drain their lands under COM
pulsion of Legislative enactment.
Az predicted in this correspon-
dence last week, the House of
Representatives finally agreed up
on q two and two and one-half
cent passenger rate. This con-
clusion was reached by the very
decisive vote of eighty-three to
twenty-elght upon the rate feat
ure of the bill, the text of which
will appear in the Hustler.
The matter now goes to the Sem
ate for concurrence and will claim
the attention of that body before
the end of the present week. 1t
is pot believed that the Senate
will agree to q lower rate than
two and ons-half cents and there
seems be right much sentiment
to make 1t ga quarter more than
that. / am inclined to believe,
after going over the matter with
q number of senators, that a fiat
rate of two and one-half cents will
be the final solution of the propo-
sition; also that second class fares
will be abolished and only one
class of tickets be provided for In
the new rate bill adopted by this
Legislature. The railroads, it 10
said, r willing to compromise on
o fiat rate of two and three.quart-
er cents and the one fare PROPOSE
ton although they r still vigor-
ously opposing any reduction
whatever. North Carolina is said
to be the only state in the union
where second-class coaches are re-
quired and this fact is being used
to influence members in favor Of
the suggestion TO abolish them in
our state.
The country press of the state
won a signal victory in the mouse
on Thursday by the adoption OF
an amendment offered by General
Register, the representative from
Granville county, striking out
section five of the rate bill referr-
ing to contracts between newspa-
pers and transportation compan.

Senator Ballenger is a hard
worked man, but appears to be
enjoying the session as much
as any of the other mem
bers. His constituents in Polk
and Henderson are keeping him
too busy to get lonesome and when
the senate is not in session he may
be found at his desk most any
time attending to correspondence.
Mr.. Ballenger is a fine character
any way you take him and is max
ing a faithful representative, even
to being more useful than four
