In the language of the bell
boy when he learned that the
typewriter had welded another
gent, 'the blow has fell" 1t
will be a surprise to some to learn
that Senator Shaw has introduce
ed a bill for the division of Robe
son, but others who were abreast
of what was going on expected
as much. The fight is on in ear
nest and we hope that no bitter
ness will be injected into it. No
matter how earnestly those on
each side work for what thew
want, we hope they will never
forget that whether they come
out of the contest as citizens of
the same county or as citizens of
neighboring counties, they will
want to continue to dwell! to-
gether in unity.

Senator Shaw Introduces a Bill
to Divide Robson Re-
markable Pistol Bill Senator
Overman Reelected - The
Robson County Bond Issue
Discussed-Bills of General
Interest.
Among the new bills of State
wide interest introduced in the
Legislature Monday was one by
Speaker Graham to give the State
and defendant II peremptory
challenges each in capital cases,
the State to stand none at the
foot Of the panel. This is the
same bill Judge Graham intro
duced in 1905 and similar to one
introduced by him in 1903.
A divorce bill introduced would
amend the present 10-year sepa-
ration clause by providing that
parties who have lived apart 10
years may be divorced if any
children they may have are over
ri years, instead of if there are
no children.
A notable bill by Morton, of
New Hanover, is for the better
training of colored youth, there
by minimizing race prejudice. 1t
provides that only such teachers
as have graduated from some
school or college approved by the
State board of education shall be
employed to teach in public
schools for the colored. He calls
attention in a preamble to the
marked difference between the
old-time darby and the present
negro, and believes it largly due
to the absence of the early train
ing received from white masters
A foctory bill by Hinsdale, of
Wake, prohibits any child under

Senator Shaw, of Robson, has
been added to the committee on
counties, cities and towns.
A joint resolution has been in
troduced to memorabilia Congress
for the establishment of post roads
in North Carolina. The bill for
the relief of the graded school
trustees of Lumberton passed
third reading in the House.
The election of Senator Lee S.
Overman to succeed himself for
a second term in the United
States Senate was the feature in
both houses of the Legislature
Tuesday. Judge Spencer B.
Adams was honored by the mi
nority with a complimentary
nomination.
According to the usual custom
both houses adjourned Tuesday
in honor of the memory of Gen.
Robt. E. Lee. A majority of
the members went to Chapel
Hill in the afternoon on a special
train to attend the Lee celebra-
ton there and hear the address
of President Woodrow Wilson, of
Princeton University, on the Life
and Character of General Lee.
Bills of general interest intro
duced Tuesday were: To appro-
pirate $93, 800 for the Morganton
School for the Deaf and Dumb;
to Increase the salary of the
State librarian to 81, 900; a solicit
tors salary bill, naming a salary
of 81, $50 for all solicitors in lieu

The Robson county bond is
sue was again laid before the
House as amended by the judi
ciary committee, striking out the
section eXempting the bonds
from county and city taxes. On
second reading the bill received
several negative votes, the Robe
son Representatives voting
against it, as they did not want
the bill as amended by the COM
mlttee: Mr.. Mcleod moved to
reconsider the vote by which
the committee amendment was
adopted. Speaker Graham made
the point that there was no such
thing as local legislation. He
held that it would not do to say
only Robson people were inter
ested; some people of other coun-
ties might get these bonds. He
denounced tax-dodging of the
present day as one of the great
shames of the country. A poor
man with visible property could
not make false returns, while it
was easy for a man owning such
bonds to fail to turn them in for
State taxes and there would be
legislative authority for his not
listing for county and city taxa
ton. He argued further that

The Senate bill increasing the
salary Of the Commissioner of
