He was at one time a member Of

AT one time he was superintendent
of the State institution for the blind

COUNTY COUNCILS TO FORM
HOME GUARDS

Gov. Beckett and Adjutant General
Young will use county councils of
defense in the formation of selected
military organizations that are to be
made up from the 5000 men who are
to be called into service for home
guard purposes, according to dis
patch from Raleigh. These county
councils are to make up the lists If
men to be asked to serve in the
county organizations and report them
back to the Governor through the ad-
jutant general. The chairman of the
county council is to be the officer to
muster into the service the men who
accept, and when the companies are
mustered in they are to hold an cleo
ton of officers and those elected are
to be commissioned by the Governor.
The Federal government is to provide
the arms under a recent special act
OF Congress providing for the arm
ing of home guards during the dura-
ton of the war while the Federal
government has the national guard
of the various States in foreign SER
vice.
The policy will be to form the COM
panies in the larger centers Of the
State first, those counties that are
apportioned 100 men each for their
companies Of militia. These are Bun
come, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford
Wake, Wayne, Mecklenburg and New
Hanover. The next in order of form
alton will be the counties that have
companies Of SO men each. These
are Allegheny, Ashe, Beaufort. Ber-
tie, Bladen, brunswick, Burke, Ca
barrus, Caldwell, Carteret, Caswell
Cleveland, Chatham, Columbusl, Da-
| wilson, Duplin, Edgecombe, Franklin
CASTOR, Granville, Halifax, Harnett
Johnston, Jones, Lee, Madison, Mar
| tin, Mcdowell, Nash, Northampton
Fender Person, Pitt Randolph Robson
Rockingham, Sampson, Union, Vance
Warren, Watauga, Wilkes and vii
son.
Then there will be for the remain.

panies made up Of units of Is mer
| each selected from two or three coun
ties each and the headquarters chos
en- for the convenience of the me1
composing the organizations. Row

ty alone. For the remainder the com
binations are Alamance and Orange

the dissent by the chief justice ar
quite lengthy. The dissenting opin-
ion insists that the act nor any part
OF 1T should be set aside unless be-
yond all doubt unconstitutional, the
act being one that has been pending
Tor number of years and thorough
ly approved by the people and their
representatives. An Identical sys-
tenn, the chief justice points out, is
used in England to take up the great
landed estates of Ireland and then
divide them and sell on long time to
citizens, England paying 2 per cent
and charging larger one that liqui-
dates interest and principal. The
school bond systems and the school
house loan fund of the State are
much the same system, he insists. He
declares in conclusion: "Judge Devin
has properly, in my Judgment, sus-
talned both in letter and spirit the
enactment by the General Assembly
OF the most just, beneficial and pro
gresslve measure adopted only after
fullest consideration by the people
and their representatives"

Items from Last Weeks Red Springs
Citizens

Citizens
Last Saturday was cotton record
day in Red Springs. Sales went far
beyond 200 bales on the local mar
ket, and the amount paid for it is
estimated at about $4,000. Add to
this $4,000 or $4,000 more, which
the seed brought, and the vast. sum
paid to cotton pickers, it will give a
fair idea of the business going on IN
this community in this line of indus
try this season.
Last week Mr.. John G. Brown went
to the Highsmith hospital for treat
ment, and his condition became so
serious that the members of his fam
ilv were called to his bedside. Mr..
Brown is paralyZed on his left side,
but still retains the use Of his hands
and his mind is perfectly clear. He
is reported to be improving.
The promoters of the Red Springs
cotton mill are eager to start the
work and the directors are now col,
lecting 10 per cent of the subscribed
stock of S125,O0O to be followed by
another collection of rs per cent In
80 days:
The boys band went to the depot
on two occasions this week when the
soldier boys were leaving for Camp
Jackson and played several appro-

the crowds were silent, approaching

men were going.

ROAD BONDS ACT INVALID

Supreme Court Holds 3 to 2 That
Tow wnsl,ip or Road District Bonds
Cannot be Secured by the County
Raleigh Dispatch.
The Supreme court is divided three
to two in the appeal from Johnston
county involving the validity of the
act Of the last General Assembly au-
thorizing four per cent State bonds
running Al years issued on county
certificates or bonds for per cent
for money for road improvement, or
rather the justices are thus divided
as to the constitutionality Of Section
20 providing for township or road dis
trict bonds same as county bonds, Sc
cured and administered by the coun-
ty. The majority hold section 20 un-
constitutional and Chief Justice Clark
and Walker hold that not only is Sec
ton 20 valid, but that the whole act
is most worthy of being sustained as
"most just, beneficial and progress
sive" measure.
Justice Hoke wrote the opinion Tor
the majority Of the court and Chief
Justice Clark the dissenting opinion.
Judge Devin is Reversed
In the hearing below Judge Devln
held with the plaintiffs, the commits
sioners Of Johnston county, that the
act was valid, directing State Treas
! urer Lacy, the defendant in the test
case appealed to pay over the money
to the county for the two townships
as requisitioned. The controlling opin-
ion finds error in Judge Devin's rul-
ing in that it is held that the Legis-
lature cannot authorize county
board to give bonds for road I'M
provement in townships or road dis
| tricts. making the whole county re-
sponsible for benefits that accrue
solely to specific localities within the
county.
AS to the validity of the remand
er of the act the controlling opinion
says:
| idity of Section 20 will have on the
remaining provisions Of the act and
whether the general principles which
forbid that on facts of this record;
