LEGISLATION makes Il impossible for either
the Government or the railroad COM
panies to 90 forward with arrangements
FOR acquiring necessary equipment and
materials and making the necessary ex-
tensions and improvements. During 1918
very little could be accomplished in these
directions, and in 1919 there has been
an almost complete cessation. so there
must be very extensive expenditures
along these lines In 1890.

Meanwhile the House railroad bill
probably will not be reported until the
latter part of next week.
Provisions for the prevention of rail-
road strikes that would cause suffering
throughout the country have been in
corporated In the House railroad bill by
the subcommittee Of the Interstate Com
merce Committee, II was learned to-day.
These, however. differ considerably from
the strict ant-strike provisions of the
Cummins bill formally reported by the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee.
The sweeping section OF the Senate
measure declaring railroad strikes ille-
gal and subjectfng strikers to criminal
prosecutions has been voted down by
the House subcommittee. Instead the
subcommittee virtually has agreed to a
section providing that both railroad op-
orators and workers must submit any
grievances to a board of arbitration be-
fore taking any action that will inture
the public.
Must submit Demands.
Thus the employees under the bin
would have to submit their demands TO

MORE MONEY NEEDED
No New Courthouse for Richmond
County Will be Built Until After
Next Legislature Meets. Not Enough
Money Available.

The last Legislature passed a
special act whereby 100000
could be made available to the
county commissioners for the
purchase of a lot, and building of
new. courthouse for Richmond
county.
The commissioners are anxious
to get to work on the project,
but they realize that with the
present cost for labor and ma
terial, such a sum as 100000
would not nearly provide such a
building as the county demands.
And so of course nothing can be
done until the special Legista-
ture meets next summer and a
bill can be passed permitting the
county to issue bonds for an ade-
quate sum.
The pressing need of a new
courthouse was never more in
evidence than at the special
term of court last week, when
time after time the proceedings
had to be stopped, and the busi.
ness of the court held up, until
the auto noise could be quieted.

pier issue could not be submit
ted so the Judge tore up the first
issue and in it's place gave the
jury the following:
''Is Foster L. Parsons insane
at the present time?"
The jury again retired, but
reappeared at $50 with their
verdict, the issue being answer
ed:
EYES,"
Immediately Solicitor Brock
arose and addressing the Court
asked that the verdict be set
aside as being incompatible with
the greater weight of evidence.
Attorneys Stack and Jones re-
piled for the defense, urging that
the verdict of insanity be al
lowed to stand as rendered by
the jury of twelve citizens.
Judge Stacy then made a very
clear-cut statement. He said
he would not set the verdict
aside, and yet at the same time
he felt very strongly that the
defendant was sane and that if
he himself had been on the jury
he would have rendered his de-
cision that the prisoner was sane
and possessed of sufficient mind
to stand trial. However, went
on the Judge, the jury of twelve
men have decided that the man
is insane and though he differed
with their decision, yet he would
let it stand. Therefore Foster
L. Parsons stands committed to
the State Asylum, there to re-
main until such time as his rea-
son may be restored.
Court then adjourned. 7:15
Friday afternoon, and, as stated
above, Sheriff Mcdonald a few
minutes later carried the pris-
oner through the country to
Aberdeen, caught No. 2 for Ra-
leigh and had Parsons in. the
Asylum before the night was
over.
Now that Parsons is in the
State Asylum, and adjudged in,
sane, the question one hears
frequently is what will be done
with him should he at some fu.
ture time regain his mind" In
event his reason is restored he
