knocked the thing into smithereens in
'''less than no time" Republicans got
nasty and had few things to say
about a certain brand of local self
government, but their attitude only
added fuel to the fire. During the de-
bate Frank Ray called republican
Leader Williams ''sap-headed
whipper snapper" and told him how
the republicans managed the schools
when the fusionists were IN power.
This settled the fate of the bii. l.:

The ladies failed completely to pur-
suade the members OF this General
Assembly that it would be the part OF
wisdom to give them the ballot, even
in modified form, They decided to
await the coming of the Federal
amendment for a general campaign
on the issue of equal suffrage with
men in all elections and concluded to
try the experiment in modified form.
A bill allowing women to vote in mum
icipal elections in cities Of 5000 popu-
Iation and upwards was introduced in
the.Senate and passed that body by a
two to one vote. Elated by this initial
success the girls" stormed the House
and well nigh captured it, too. The
vote was 40 for, and 81 against and
the bill was dead. 1t was argued with
some force that the proposition dis
criminated against the country women
and, furthermore, that fundamental
questions should be submittef to
vote of the people. The fight in the
House was fast and furious and re-
cord attendance Of members and Vlsi-
tors witnessed it.

Raleigh, March IL, 1919.-Durirc,
closing hours of the General Assembly
Monday night, Raleigh friends of Mr..
j. Claude Sales decided to protest
the appointment of S. H. Hudgins as
the successor to Mr.. Sales on the
county Board of Education and after
a spirited contest in the House they
were successful in having Mr.. Sales
reelected. No effort had previously
been made to displace Representative
.Jackson's recommendation, but when
the report Of Senate and House con-
ferences disclosed the fact that the
Republicans were iven representation
s on these boards in only two counties
of the State, namely, Cabarrus and
Henderson, an effort was immediately
Launched to re-appoint Democrats in
these two counties. Mr.. Bryant, OF

Raleigh, March 10, 1919.-The Gene
raj Assembly of North Carolina has
completed its work and nearly every
member is now on the way back home
On the whole, it has been q progress

no means strangers in either branch
and their presence was often fel;
when attempts were made to put
across progressive measures of any
kind. They tried to beat the income
tax amendment in the Senate and
failed, but did succeed in preventing
the enactment of adequate child labor
legislation. However, the labor bill
known as the Neill substitute for the
administration measure offered by the
Deartment of Labor and Printing con-
tafns some strong features in harmony
with a number of the provisions or
the Connor-Saunders bill and is an
improvement over the spineless make

Big Business Success
HOW IT ALL CAME ABOUT

Mr.. A. is a notably successful manufacturer. He en-
Joys a wide reputation as being able, progressive, conscrya-
tive. Why? His plant keeps running to full capacity
through ar efficient selling organization. His statesmen are
active continuously, even though business is offered freely,
securing it with least resistance and expense. When il is
slow, they fight for and get their share.
A pays cash for raw material, hence gets best quality
and lowest prices-a preference over competitors. He takes
advantage of all discounts; everybody wants his business.
He ships promptly and worries over no embargoes. He gets
top prices for goods, because he employs the best labor and
materials and pays good wages. He has no labor troubles.
How does A obtain these results and his reputation?
BY using the prompt, dependable, confidential service of the
Manufacturers Finance Company. So should you.
We buy your accounts receivable mot past duel and all
shipments as they are made. At once your business Is On .
cash basis, and your working capital is in hand. You col.
