LEGISLATIVE DOORS
LOCKED FOR YEAR
General Assembly's Work
in Entirety Finished and
Records Closed

Raleigh, April 5.-The massive
doors to Senate and House chambers
were closed and locked today and the
halls and corridors no longer echoed
to the tap-tap-tap of typewriters for
the first time since January 5. For
the enrolling office and the offices of
the House and Senate clerks, which
have been open since the close of the
General Assembly finishing UP the
work left by it, were closed at noon
Saturday. They will not reopen again
, until January, 1889, unless Governor
Clyde r. Hoey sees fit to call spe-
cial session of the General Assembly
and that now appears to be very I'M
likely.
The enrolling office enrolled 1928
bills and resolutions enacted by the
1897 session of the legislature, Chief
Enrolling Clerk Laurie McEachern,
of Hoke county, reported to Secre-
tary of State Thad Eure when he for
mally closed his office Saturday. Of
this number, 1853 were laws and go
were resolutions. Before he closed his
office. McEachern had seen to it that
every one of these laws had been Of
ficially enrolled proofread, ratified
and entered in the large books kept
in the office of the Secretary of State.
This entire job was done with the
assistance of only II typists, including
Mrs. Robert c. Powell, assistant en-
rolling clerk, except for the last three
weeks of the legislative session when
two temporary typists were added.
The cost of the enrolling office this
year, through March %, including all
salaries and supplies amounted to on
ly $4,953.70 Secretary of State Eure
reported today, although the office
handled just as large a volume Of
work as has been turned out by leg
islative sessions lasting almost twice
as long. In 1885 the cost of the en-
rolling office was $9.94O in 1898 the
cost was $16,4O7, with some 40 en-
ployes, while in 1881, the expense of
the enrolling office amounted to $685.
264, with more than so employees.
There were so many girls in the office
then that they had to work in relays
of from two to three hours day, so
that all the girls could qualify for
their pay vouchers.

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today President
Wilson asked Congress for an imme-
date war appropriation of $3,4OO, 000-
900, although the House had not yet
approved of the resolution declaring
war.
Half a hundred representatives had
not yet given up the fight against
fighting. One was the father Of
Charles A. Lindbergh. Another was
Fred Britten of Illinois, who said: II
am firm in the belief. that this reso-
luton is being rammed through
against the will of a great majority
of the American people.
Though the Senate had passed the
resolution 80 to 6, the fight made
there by William ]. Stone, chairman
of the foreign relations committee !;
AISLE J. Gronna of North Dakota;
James Vardaman, of Mississippi
Harry Lane, of Oregon; and r. M.
LaFollette, ST., and George w. Norris
of Nebraska, had emboldened more
representatives to take a courageous
stand. Gronna's remarks were in the
Congressional Record that day: eve

forcing their subjects into war against
their will, but refuse to ascertain by

April s. 1903 James VT of Scotland,
son of Mary Queen of Scots of stage
and screen fame, became James L OF
England. He succeeded Elizabeth,
who put James mother to death be-
cause she wanted to succeed 10 the
throne of England.
April 5. 1614-One of the subjects
of James I, John Rolfe, wed the Pow
hatan tribal chieftain's daughter
known as Pocahontas, in what may
have been the first Christian marriage
ceremony in the American English
colonies. In so doing, he made her
bigamist. She was the Child bride"
of one of her fathers captains.
100 Years Ago Tday-Algeron Chas.
Swinburne was born in London, eld-
est son of an admiral, at time when
etiquette books actually decreed, The
perfect hostess will see to it that the
books of men and women authors are
properly separated on her book
shelves. Their proximity, unless they
be married. should not be tolerated."
In poems and plays, Swinburne, as
much as any one may, proclaimed
the idealogy of religious and moral
liberalism to which this generation
subscribes proudly"
A master of invective, he wrote of
a publisher: when 1 heard he had
died of a surfeit and pork chops ]
observed that this was a serious argu-
ment against my friend Sir Richard
Burton's view of cannibalism as a
wholesome and natural method of
diet"

most observers here is that the cam
paign for Coan has already overshot
its mark and that there is virtually
no change that he will now be offered
the appointment.
Still another factor is regarded as
being the fact that virtually all of the
groups opposed to Waynick conferred
their support back of Coan and that
with Coan out of the picture, the anti
Waynick faction is without a can
didate. Indications are that those OBJ
posed to Waynick were so sure that
the campaign for Coan would be sue
cessful that they abandoned all of
their other potential candidates in
order to get on the Coan bandwagon.
Some of the leaders of the anti-Way-
nick faction were out of the city here
over the weekend, evidently trying to
find a new candidate for the chair
manship. But most opinion here is
that the time is now too short to bring
out a candidate for the post who
would stand any chance of displacing
Waynick
Some observers here still think
Hoey may name Odus M. Null. of
Shelby, as chairman of the new high
way commission rather than reap
point Waynick. But the belief of most
of those regarded as being in close
touch with both Null and Governor
Hoey are Of the opinion that Null is
not being considered, and that if he
were and the post should be offered
to him, that he would decline it.
These observers point out that such
an appointment would be sure to
start talk again about the "Shelby
dynasty just as it was started by
former Governor o. Max Gardner
when he appointed Null. as his Exc
cutive Counsel" at salary of more
than $4,000 a year and which Null
soon resigned.
AS a result, most opinion here is
that indications point very strongly
ito the reappointment of Waynick.

lid, but it is expected that the buses
will average from 5000 TO $3.50, includ-
ing the bodies This will be the first
large letting since the new appropria-
ton of 100000 was made by the 1897
General Assembly. Only about so
buses have been purchased so far
from this appropriation.
The bodies of these new buses will
be larger and stronger than ever be-
fore as result of changes made in
the specifications, Griffin said. AS a
result, the new bus bodies will be the
safest bus bodies than can he obtain
ed ard fully as safe as all-steel bodies,
the commission maintains. Because
Of this fact, most of the southeastern
states have now adopted the North
Carolina school bus specifications for
their school bus equipment. South
Carolina. Tennessee, Georgia, Vir-
ginia, Florida and Mississippi are now
insisting that the school bus bodies
they buy must be built according to
the North Carolina specifications.
Although the 700 new buses which
will be purchased with the new APP
preparation of 100000 and other
funds that were available, these new
buses by no means take care of the
need, Griffin said. He pointed out that
there are between 1000 and 1000
buses from five to seven years old and
older which should te replaced this
year and that the commission recon-
mended not less than 100000 for
school bus replacement purposes this
year. He said that after school bus
gets more than five years old the cost
of maintaining it increases steadily
each year, while the dependability OF
/ these buses steadily decreases.
The strikes in the automobile IN
dustry have made it impossible to
hold letting before this time.

STRICKLAND NAMED

Former Police Officer Gets
Post in Field of Seven
Names Filed

At a special meeting of the board
of commissioners of Vance county

and now a member of the Oxford
police force, was named as Hender-

Seven were considered for the post.
They were w. M. Reid, H. M. Lewis,
j. L. Mundy, Graham Oakley, w. N.
Strickland, X. P. Davis and E. w.
Powell.
Horace M. Robinson, secretary to
the board, stated that Oakley did not
file an application for the constable
post, but was considered for it. He
filed an application for the post as
special officer recently recommended
by a grand jury.
Reid presented a petition signed by
a number of citizens endorsing him.
The post pays no salary, but the
constable receives fees for papers he
serves.

ago. It is agreed that President Ora
ham did not consult either the facul-
ty committee on athletics, composed
of the four faculty members OF the
athletic council, nor the faculty coun-
Gil, although he had required 1t to
spend three days listening to testi-
mony, but that he set aside Ander-
sons contract virtually on his own re-
sponsibiIity as president of the Great
er University.
If President Graham had refused
to accept the action of the athletic
council and referred the matter back
to the four members of the faculty
committee on athletics and the adj
ministrative dean, which under the
plan of organization is the only body
which has authority to veto any ac-
ton by the athletic council, and this
committee had vetoed the action of
the council and refused to approve
the new contract for Coach Ander-
son, there is no doubt in legal circles
here but that the action would have
stood and Anderson would have been
out as coach then and now. But since
the matter was not referred to the
faculty committee and since it did not
veto the action of the council, more
and more here who are studying the
legal and technical angles involved
are convinced Anderson is still chief
coach.

about SO per cent of permanency and
of corresponding regularity in promo
tomas in England.
The theory is that the increase in
efficiency thus expected to be achiev-
ed will result in some little economy.
But economy is not what is primarily
claimed for the plan; a higher de-
gree of efficiency is what is promised
from it. Indeed, the Brownlow adj
vocates recommend higher salaries
for the more exalted public servants,
to prevent them from being tempted
away into private employment.
Senator Harry F. Byrd's rival plan
pledges a lot of economy as we'll as

Byrd stresses economy, plus eff
ficiency.

maybe, a little economy.

It obviously would broaden their
scope, increase their membership, fat
ten their payrolls, solidify their adj

All of which perhaps is O. k.
