Full responsibility for the Court
issue has apparently been placed
upon Senator Robinson and the
President viii remain on the side
lines until the Arkansan has a
chance to accomplish something.
Opponents insist that a vigorous
fight will be waged and that many
speeches will be made before final
action unless the Senate recon-
mits the bill to the Judicial Com
mittee. It is known that the COM
mittee has decided to consider all
proposed constitutional amend
ments relative to the Supreme
Court at a meeting next week

will undoubtedly stress the adj

NEGRO, GIRL KILLED
AT NORLINA SUNDAY

A seven-year-old Negro child, the
daughter of Viola Rodwell, was in
stantly killed at Norlina yesterday
morning by an automobile, it was
learned here today.
Coroner Jasper w. Shearing, of
Warren county, conducted an inves-

the driver said to be of West Virginia
blameless.
According to the information
learned here, the automobile was
passing a truck at the time the child
darted to the highway. She was walk
ing with an older brother at the time
of the accident. He was not injured.

COUNCIL WILL FIX
TAX RATE TONIGHT
Lew Will Be About Midway
Between $3.50 and 81, 1t
Is Learned

Henderson's tax rate for the 1878
fiscal year will be set by the City
Council at it's regular monthly meet
ing for August this evening at 8
o'clock. City officials would not even
estimate today what the amount would
be, but guesses for several weeks have
been from $3.50 to 81, and the general
belief appears to be that the actual
lew will be arrived at about midway
these two points. There was nothing
whatever official about this, however,
from any source.
The Council will also have to adopt
the new budget at the meeting tonight,
and this will be done before the tax
levy is agreed upon.
Several other matterS of business
pending before the Council will also
likely be passed upon at the meeting
It is understood a report is to be made
by committee named a month ago to
look into the claim of j. w. Jenkins
for something over $500 in connection
with the erection of his new Serve-All
Service Station at the corner of Will
liam and Mitchell streets, as the re-
suit of construction alterations due to
the underpass.

Indoor Gardens
EdSilu Made

When the usual methods Of
acquiring early house bloom be-
come tiresome, put three or four
French or Roman hyacinths in
a small rot and. in turn, set this
pot into a much larger one, fill
ing the space in between with
soil. Plant rooted slips Of any
trailing plant, such as Wander.
ing Jew, in the earth between
the small and large pots. AS
the bulbs grow the plants spread
so that the outside is a mass Of
green. (Of course, the roofing
process takes place before the
auxiliary plant is put in.)
THEY FLOAT
Worthy Of any gardeners at
tention are floating gardens
made with a large piece Of cork.
Make holes in the cork into
which can be fitted small bulbs,
like crocus, placing them in
such a way that when the cork
floats on water the base Of the
bulb just touches the liquid.
The bowl and bulbs are stored
in the dark as usual, and when
the rocts form they are brought
into light and warmth. Grass
seed may be sown thickly, and
by the time the crocus bloom,
they look as though they were
pushing up through tiny lawn.
Scillas and chionodoxa may also
be used for these floating gar.
dens.

ment favorS on the tray with
the lunch? Would the fact that
the girls mother is not a club
member make this procedure i'm
proper? Would 1t be better to
make the announcement at a
meeting in the girls own home?
Her mother would not be at the
meeting.
If you feel that this is not a
very good way to make the an.
nouncement. do you have any
other idea that might be differ.
ent? q.
The important thing about
making an announcement Of an
engagement is not that it shall
be different, but that it shall be
made with propriety and appro-
priateness. Properly and Gus
tomarily, it Is the brides family
who make this important an.
nouncement, and 1t is out Of
order, to my way of thinking,
for an organization to be given
this privilege, instead of the
girls mother. If I were the girls
mother I should feel terribly hurt
at not being able to be present
when my daughters engagement
announcement was made, even
if it were made at the meeting Of
such an important organization.
wouldn't you feel the same way?
You don't tell me if the girls
mother has been consulted about
this. Has she been? If she is
asked about this, and is a sensi-
tive7spirited person, she will
probably say that her daughter
is "to do as she Wishes" and she
will hide her hurt.
But what the girls mother will
probably want to do is to plan a
luncheon or a tea party, at
which this important announce
ment will be made.
