The Chronicle weeks ago went on
record with the prediction that if an
extra session Of the Legislature is
called, a prohibition law covering the
state, will be passed, just as was done
by the Legislature of Georgia and Ala
bama. Some of the North Carolina
papers were disposed to doubt thaI
this could be done, taking the ground
that as the legislature was called for
a special purpose it could only trans
act hat particular business and ad-
journ. They are from the mark. The
Wilmington Messenger says:
Under the constitution of this state,
the work of the Legislature in extra
session is not confined, as it is in some
of the states, to the matter it is called
to consider set out in the proclama-
ton Of the governor converting the
body. If Governor Glenn orders an
extra session Of the legislature that
body, when it assemblies, can go into
any legislation it sees fit to take up.
The only constitutional limitation on
it is that its members cannot draw pay
for more than 20 days"
1t is furthers significant that Gov
n Glenn has said in a public
speech that if his most earnest eff
forts will avail North Carolina shall
have state prohibition before he re-
tires from the Office of governor. This
much being said, there is no argument
as to what the calling f an extra
session of the legislature means for
the state. Prohibition by legislative

The News.

Captain Pritchard of the Mauritania
was talking about sailors.
1--WE are a bluff lot" he said. Did
you eve hear about the sailor and the
parrot?"
We'll, nee upon a time an old lady
was returning from abroad with a
parrot of which she was very fond.
She intrusted the bird, with many ad-
monitions, to a sailor for the voyage.
"Seasickness, or something, killed
the parrot the third day out. The
sailor, knowing how upset the old
lady would be, could not bring himself
to tell her the sad tidings, but asked
a companion, famous for his skill in
such work, to break the news t her
very, very gently. The man assented.
And approaching the old lady with
a tragical face, the famous news-brea-
ker touched his cap and said:
I'm afraid that ere bird O yourn
amt goin' to live long, ma'am.'
"4Oh, deari' exclaimed the old lady,
in alarm, 'Why?"
