MORRISON SAYS
THERE WILL Be No
SPECIAL SESSION
SALE OF BONDS TALKED
If Five Per Cent Advalorem

SALE OF BONDS TALKED
(By Max Abernethy).

Raleigh, April There will be no
special session of the General Assem-
bly, during the present calendar year,
in the opinion of Governor Cameron
Morrison, who is probably as well
qualified to speak on the subject
as any since his excellency and NO
other would issue the call in the
event it was thought the legislators
ought to assemble before 1923.
Governor Morrison has made this
plain to newspaper men and has ask
ed that the reading portion of North
Carolina be disillusioned as to the
special session talk" The suggestion
has not reached the governor from
State nor from the men upon whom
he depended at the regular session in
getting his program adopted. The
governor is anxious that the public
he should call it together, would be
powerless to do more than levy a
five cent advalorem tax since the con-
stitution limits the levy.
This five cents tax on property,
the governor points out, if levied
would not bring into the State treas
urer more than one million dollars
and at the present rate the county
boards are authorizing horizontal
reductions in land valuations the
total amount collected would fall fa1
short of that amount. Nor will five
cents advalorem tax overturn the
money market within "a hours.

tax is worth more to the State il

householder in the country the OWN
er of COW.

hog, good and bad. Hogs as well as
cows should be raised in Wilson
