News & Observer.)
There was little doing in the House
yesterday no bills of special Statewide
Importance being considered. The bill
of Representative Valentine of Hen
derson, amending the statute of Iimita-
tions law so that the holder Of a mort
gage or deed of trust must register
same again after ten years brought
forth quite a breezy discussion for
time and finally went over until today
for disposition.
Mr.. Hutchinson started the ball to
rolling by opposing the bill after the
provisions of same had been explained
Bv Mr.. Valentine. The bill had re-
ceived a unanimously favorable report
from the judiciary committee.
Some one suggested that the title Of
the bill be changed to read 'an act to
save lawyers fees" while another
suggestion, exactly opposite said it
should read "an act to assist lawyers
in examining land titles The legaf
fraternity were badly divided on the
proposition.

INTERESTED in the club work Mr.. Sta
ton called oh A Smith to introduce
CD n declared that
lHendersonvi1le had a number of loyal
patriotic men. but that more were
needed for carrying out the work of
upbuilding the community. He used
Iraiseworthy words in the introduc-
ton of Mr.. Britt, who responded with
a speech fully equal to the occasion.
Mr.. Britt's Address.
Mr.. Britt declared that every resi-
responsibilities in community upbuiIding
and that these can't be dropped upon
the shoulder of another person. He
=fated that he heard $4,000 property
owner in Asheville say that he had
nothing to do with the recent move
ment for a new charter for that city
for the reason that that was the work
for the other folks more interested.
Mr.. Britt said that it was impossible
for US as citizens to disassociate our
selves from these duties.
Mr.. Britt urged the Upbuilding of
schools and the educating of the peo-
pie at home as far as possible. He
congratulated his hearers on what had
already been done and urged them to
to go ahead with unanimity of pur-
pose and make the most of our educa-
tional opportunities. Mr.. Britt urged
that sanitary work be given a promi-
nent place in the affairs of city build
ing. He said that it was not natural
for the city to stand still; that it must
or1 nd hot NIT
a little money and cooperation it
would continue to grow. He declar-
ed that Hendersonyille was favorably
situated on an elevated plateau where
we can drink draughts of purifying
breezes from day to day that sweep
through this locality, which is well
above the miasmic conditions found
in many other cities. He said
that the man who plotted this city
years ago had an eye to the future and
that Main street is the prettiest street
OF any size / know anywhere In the
world. 1t reminds me eVerytime see
it Of Pennsylvania avenue at the Cap
;tol
Mr.. Britt said that it took concerted
action to do the best work and he urg-
ed his hearers to forget their differ
ences on larger measures and unite
for the most effective work in mu-s1
nicipal affairs. "By 1920 you ought to
have between ten and fifteen thousand
people here and you viii have If you
press forward as you have in the past
few years. You haven't done your
best. We are all inclined to be too
spasmodic and sporadic. When you
bring strangers into your gates treat
them with such equality and fairness
and give them such attention as will
make them want to come back and
stay with you. Your club should have
a committee whose functions it should
be to see that everybody is provided
for and given a square deal in all
things. Your city should be known as
the place where visitors may get
square deal Talk up your town and
people and never knock for you tear

Don't Feed on the Square

Someone has gone to the trouble
and expense Of putting signs about
the Court Park requesting parties
with teams not to scatter rubbish
by feeding on the square. And
right by the side 'of these signs
almost any day, can be seen corn
shucks, hay, fodder etc, left by
some fellow who either is entirely
selfish or is not able to read, In.
stead Of being proud Of the cleouIy
ambition Of their county seat this
sort OF men would prefer to give
the public square the general air OF
a baruyard, We wonder if these
fellows have any front yardat home;
and if they have, what they would
think OF the town man who would
presume to feed his team on the

It may be q littlc early to begin
Dragging, but those Of our Harrison
gucSscrs who insisted last year that
the typhoid epidemic was not due to
local conditions or water have the
best OF the argument up to date,
There has been no improvement of
the sanitary situation or water
this year and no typhoid eases are
