1t has been reported that certain
members of the state legislation
who were somewhat disgruntled by
the refusal Of the people last fall to
double their salaries have attempted
to limit the Legislative session to
fifty days, which would compensate
them at the present salary, $1,000
per day. If the legislation would
submit constitutional amendment
limiting the sessions to fifty days
and only one regular session every
ten years and no special session un-
less first voted for by majority of
the people, it would be the most
beneficial piece of legislation for the
common people ever passed since
the original adoption Of the state
constitution.

CONDUCTOR woISDED BY TWO
NEGROES STEALING RIDE.

Spencer. April In. Following a
fierce battle with pistols on the top
lof his own freight train, Captain r.
|G, Bell was brought to his home in
Spencer early Thursday with two bull
let's in the upper part Of his thigh and
with a slight wound In the stomach.
He was later in the day removed to
the Whitehead Stokes sanatorium, In
Salisbury. for treatment.
In charge of a southbound freight
train. Captain Bell discovered the
dark form Of some one on, top OF the
train. when at a siding near High
Point. Taking hisslantern he mounted
the train and walked from the rear
towards the front, while the train was
running at a fair rate OF speed. When
near the engine he flashed his lantern
to the front and saw two large ne
groes. He hailed them and asked what
they were doing on the train. Just
at this moment one of the negroes
opened fire on the conductor. One
ball struck him In the stomach and
glanced, doing but little injury. The
second and third ball took effects in
the thigh or groin. and are still en-
tedded in the fieshy part OF the limb.
In self-defense the conductor returned
the fire with a pistol which he had
procured from the caboose Of the
train. Being at disadvantage on ac-
Count of the darkness 1t is not known
whether or not any OF the shots from
the revolver Of the conductor took az
feet. A physician at High Point made
a preliminary examination Of Captain
Bells injuries, and be was allowed to
bring his train into Spencer. after
which he was taken to his home by
DIR. II. L. Monk, who is treating him.
II Is not thought that his wonnds will
prove serious, though he had a par
ticularly close call.
