The prosecution failed to make an

Peace Put or Calendar Com
mittee of Five in the
State House

Representative j. M. Peace who
has been here all week in superior
court, on leave of absence from the
State House of Representatives, said
today he had introduced and passed
term of the register of deeds of Vance
county four years instead of two
years, beginning with the term that
starts the first Monday in December,
1888. The bill has gone to the Senate
and is expected to pass that body to
become law.
The bill Mr.. Peace introduced in
the House to increase the salary of
the Vance county recorder from $1O0
to $125 per month has also passed the
House, and is expected to go through
the Senate. It is understood the bill
introduced in the Senate by Senator
w. w. White, of this county, to in
crease the salary of the clerk of su-
perior court of Vance county by $500
per year, or $50 per month, has also
passed the Senate and come over to
the House.
Mr.. Peace has been appointed by
Speaker r. G.. Cherry of the House as
a member of a committee of five
known as the calendar committee.
This group is constituted each session
near the close to pass on all local bills
introduced at the last minute, rather
than sending them to the particular
individual committees that ordinarily
would act on them. The course is one
in the interest of time. Only five of
the 120 members of the House are on
the committee.

Iturbi can play the French i'm

with rare understanding of their
vague and blended sonorities. He
does this because he knows the
functions of the damper pedal and
how to play clearly while piling up
vast and cloud-like masses Of tone,
as in Ravel's "Jeux d'eau."
An American impresSionist,
Robert Russell Bennett, was
treated In similar fashion. Two
etudeS from q suite entitled "Vu,"

represented the attractive gifts
and attainments of this native

"The Unknown Soldier; the
second the gobeleinS Of the Place

The works Of his fellow country

artists popularity, which surely
could not derive from his dry and
