North Carolina Citizen Given
Time to Show Good
Faith.
HAS Until SEPTEMBER
To Show the North Carolina Leg
islature That the Transconti-
mental Can Be Built. As a Mat
ter of Fact it Will Take the
Colonel and Some One Else
Longer to Show Good Faith.

The North Carolina legislative COM
mittee which has had under investi-
CATION the Transcontinental railroad
last week decided to give Cole Jones a
chance TO prove that he was sincere
about building his road. Col. Jones
appeared before the committee, 1t is
stated, ana claimed that if given the
chance he would show that his road
could be built, so the committee gave
him until September, the time OF the
couvening of the extraordinary ses-
sion of the North Carolina legislature,
to prove up his claims.
The Tennessee and North Carolina
railroad have the Transcontinental
railroad blocked entirely and it is said
that as long as the Transcontinental
continues to hold out, that the Ten
neusee and North Carolina road will
not be pushed through. tits said that
it is practically impossible for the
Transcontinental road to come through
without using the Tennessee and
North Carolina tracks at the bridge
below Naterville, so there is little
likelihood of an active road building
until after September when it will be
seen that the Transcontinental road is
completely bottled up.
W me Senate committee of the North
Carolina f4liraad recoip rended that
all contracts with rais AdsfpI 1a,sxje1l
laborbe cancelled at the Spiratio ~
the present contracts and that the con-
victs be put to work on the public
roads.
It was shown inihe report that the
TranscontinentalTa railroad is working
3fconvicts and that the state is receiv-
ing pay OF $3.50 per head, for the use
of same, the pay being made in Trans
continental stock, which from present
indications is worth nil, and the state
will have allowed the Transcontin-
entail road the use of the prisoners for
nearly two years without any chance
of receiving any pay for same.

RUNAWAY;
DIVORCE
Newport People Knew Principals
In a Knoxville
Wedding.

Knoxville, Tennessee, March 49,
Mrs. s. ID. Williams, formerly Miss
Vera Parham, who figured in rum
away marriage in September, of 1909,
has filed suit for devorce in chancery
court, alleging infidelity, and setting
out that her husband is no longer a
resident of the state of Tennessee, but
is now living in Florida.
The runaway marriage of Miss Vera
Parham and s. d. Williams, which
occurred on the twenty-fifth of Sep
TENDER, 1909, was a surprise of the
social world that year, and at the time
caused much comment, her engage
ment TO another man having been an
nounced.
Miss Parham was picked mp by her
fiancee in an auto, secured at what
was then the Marble City garage, and
they drove to Newport, where it was
intended the wedding should take
place. The trip was one of accidents,
however, which resulted in their 60
ing TO Morristown, and at that point,
they were married by Rev. s.. e.
Jones.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams went to
Florida in May, 1910, TO live, but re-
turned to Knoxville in 1911, and later
went Morristown.
Mrs. Williams claims that her hus-
band has now become resident of
Florida and has been such since Janu-
ary, 1918. She seeks a full divorce,
and the custody of their child.

Present Legislature, After Short
Recess, Will Attempt to Undo
Much That Was Done in the
First Half-New Alignment OF

The legislature which has been i'm

vened Monday and presented new
front. During the recess there was n
complete change in.alignments. Mayor
Crump, who had made fusion possible
claimed That the fusj0nists had broken
faith with him. and the Shelby county
delegation is lined up with the regu.
lars.

troduced providing fortfe election Ok

This was CoX's bill. 4
This is the opening gun of the fight
and it will be prosecuted now to the
bitter end. The effort to repeal the
bill creating the offices of state auditor
and separating the offices of treasurer
and insurance commissioner is the real
test of the coming fight. On these
bills the new alignment will try out its
forces. If they can muster fifty votes
the full program will be prosecuted.
But the fight really will have been
fought before these bills are up for
final reading as on Thursday the law
enforcement bills will come up as q
special order. Regulars appear conf.
dent of defeating these bills, but the
republicans are even more confident
that they will be passed with the pos.
sible exception of one of them which
proposes TO give the governor the pow
er TO remove mayors of cities for failure
to do their duty.

'"My belief as to the certain course

to the fact that Mr.. Crump now claims
that he had not agreed to help prevent
