The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1911-03-09

that is, according to the aforesaid
literary contributions in which he ac-
cused the general assembly of being
incompetent, of playing politics, of
wasting time. and of every other crime
almost. That is, you know, every mem
Der did these things except Ewarte,
who, you were left to understand, was
the whole and complete show by HIM
SELF
Well, burlington, after reading ex-
tracts from these self-glorifying and
self-commending literary efforts, ac-
cused the gentleman from Henderson
of writing them. Here you will observe
a dense and distinct silence on the
part of the gentleman from Hender-
son. In other words, he has nothing to
say. burlington then wanted to know
who had frittered away the time of the
house, who had killed more golden
minutes, who had talked more and on
more subjects, than the gentleman
from Henderson? He said that Ewart
had stood on the floor of the House,
and while disclaiming all partisan
ship had spent all his time trying to
advance the interest of the Republi-.
can party. Getting really warmed up
to his subject the able house leader
then proceeded to fay the gentleman
from Henderson in most painful
manner. It was distressing and annoy
ing to have your real motives laid bare
to .curel world, to have the mask OF
fairness and sincerity torn away, to
De proved the author of self-glorify-
ing and selt-commending, newspaper
articles, to be truthfully accused of
doub1e-dealing with your colleagues,
to be told that you preach patriotism
and practice partisanship, and so on
and so forth. Really, you know, it's
quite embarrassing, and when the vote
was called on the measure the ayes
sounded like into, the roar of many
angry waters. Mr.. Ewart left the
House shortly after and departed for
Hendersonville on the 4:05 train
Shipman's Recommendation.
The rural life schools bill, an admir-
able law, is safe, but the proposition
to combine the Department of Agricul-
ture and the A. e M. College under
one board of twenty men to be ap-
pointed by the governor will not pass.
The, appropriation committee made it's
report on Friday and it's work is told
of elsewhere in this paper. Commits
sioner of Labor M. L. Shipman's re-
commendation for ten-hour work day
in the factories will become law, but
alas for state aid to good roads, for
there nothing doing there, dearest.
While there are many members who
believe the state is justified in going
into debt and issuing bonds for many
purposes, the House leaders, includ-
ing Speaker Dowd. are not amongst
them. The old soldiers may get lit
tie more money, but not much. In fact
there was spirited opposition to the
$50, 900 appropriation for the new
feeble-minded asylum, but to the glory
of North Carolina let it be said that
opposition was soon demolished.
Monday and Tuesday, and possibly
Wednesday will be devoted to state
wide matters almost exclusively. What
private public bills are still on the
calendar wills soon be disposed OF.
The house met at o'clock Mon
day morning, and with only the nec-
essary recess for meals kept at it all
day long and up to twelve o'clock at
night With little debate on the differ
ent measures it is possible to get
throught with pile of work in that
time. \
No Bonds Issued.
The economical spirit of the assem-
bly was forcibly shown in It's treat

thousand dollars. The administration
building will get quarter and not
million dollars. The insurance inves-
tigation commission was allowed only
one the Id dollars-not enough to
make t. .vestigation effective.
