tent and babe farewell to capitol
greatness" in a halo of glorious ach-
ievement.
With reference to the legislative re.
cord of Senator Allen and Represents
tive Patton, a prominent citizen of Ra-
leigh who keeps his eyes open as to leg
lative and political matters, said today
"They have made the finest record OF
any body ever sem from Henderson
county. Mr.. Patton has not missed a
roll call and / don't think Mr. Allen
missed any except during his short
period of illness. They have allowed
no one to dictate to them and have
cast their votes at all times wisely and
conscientiously."
They have relieved Henderson coun-
ty of many obnoxious laws and they
had many good ones enacted into law.
A brief account of their legislative re-
cord as well as that of other senators
and representatives from the 10th Con-
~gressional district will be given in

Tenth District Legislation.
Owing to the great volume of bust
ness in the hands of the clerical force
of the General Assembly the Calendar

able at this writing as the clerks are

after adjournment. therefore a list Of

to his feet with an alertness unequall-
ed by Mr.. Bolick, who, for some reason
or other, gained the recognition of the
Speaker before Mr.. Patton could. He
succeeded in getting the bill before the
committee on Counties. Cities and
Towns and of course that meant an un-
favorable report on the bill, the report
being made on the following day. At
ter the committee meeting Mr. BoLich
went home with his head high in the
air and Growing over the victory.
MI. Patton's attitude was the reverse
His head was dropped like a defeated
game rooster and be. was downcast in
spirit. With a Sunday-school-like
spirit of submission he said that he
cid not come to Raleigh to make en-
emies and that he would give up the
fight. Persistent efforts on Mr.. Al
lens part finally got him out of such
a depressed condition and Like Paul
In those historic days, he took cour-
age" and went to fight. The bill was on
the u~nfavorable Calendar, which meant
death, unless the matter was revived.
He succeeded in his movement to have
it referred to the committee of which
he was a members number Of the
leading members of the House coming
to his rescue. The committee met
early after the House adjourned. A
quorum was not present but of the
ten members hearing the matter six
were in favor of a favorable report.
When the report was made to the
House the Speaker held that it was
not the report of a quorum. The bill
was re-referred to the committee. A
quorum was present, resulting in an
unfavorab1e report, for in the legis-
lative committee style the creation of

and chloroformed to death. 1t is high
1y probable though that there will be
a resurrection four years hence when
Henderson county will be entitled to
another senator.
Messrs. Allen and Patton took the
position that the part of Polk county
formerly belonging to Henderson help
ed to vote the railroad bonds and al
though the citizens had seen fit to di-
vorce themselves from the county they
were under obligations to bear their
part of the burden in discharging the
debt.
Representative Bolich and son, Har-
old, left for their home in Saluda or
Saturday night. Mr.. Bolich will re-
sumo work as engineer on the helper
engine up Saluda mountain. He want
ed to remain until the General Assem-
bly, adjourned but said he could not do
SO owing to the fact that the leave OF
absence givenshim by the Southern had
expired. 1t can be said to his credit
that had he not shown his fighting
qualities Saluda people would have
been legislated into paying off a part
OF Henderson county's debt.
Senator Allen received a telegram
Saturday calling him home on account
OF the illness of Mrs. Allen.

scribed by the genial narrator of the
exploits Of D'Artagnan. And abruptly
out of this age Of Lebrun, Vatican

that elderly codger wasn't her father,
who was he and what?
The Major-for George had looked
him up also-was in excellent trim for

young and exquisite creature! Out

guardian, or, at most, her uncle, but
never her husband. Yet 20 poisonous

the Major, both his jests and his at
tentions. He had seen many wives,
joyfully from a safe distance, act to-
ward their husbands in this fashion.
Oh. rot! If his name was Callahan
and hers Chedsoye, they could not
possibly be tied in any legal bonds. He
dismissed the ice-cold hand and turned
again to the comforting warmth Of his
ardor.
He had never spoken to young wom-
en- without presentation. and on these
rare occasions he had preached the
weather. suggested the possibilities of
the weather. and concluded with an
sapostrophe on the weather at large. 1t
was usuallya yaledictory. For he was
always positive that he had acted like
q fool, and was afraid to speak to the
girl again. Never 1t failed, ten minutes
after the girl was out OF sight, the
brightest and cleverest things crowd

on the desert air. He was not particu-
larly afraid Of women older than
himself, more's the pity. And yet, had
he been as shy toward them as toward
the girls, there would have been no

The echo of 1t still rang in his ears.
And while he could not have described
it. he knew instinctively that 1t had
been born Of bitter thought.
They chatted for quarter Of an
hour or more, and managed famously.
It seemed to him that Fortune Ched-
soye was the first young woman he
had ever met who could pull away
sudden barriers and open up pathways
for speech, who. when he was about
to founder into some culde-sac, guided
him adroitly into an alley round IT.
Not once was 1t necessary to drag

Two distinct purposes controlled the

his clothes and hurry down to Cooks.
