Houses Pass 2
of Hash's Bills
Ashe Jury Commission Repealed;
Former Method of Electing
Chairman Restored

A bill introduced by Representa-
tive J. B. Hash with reference to the
jury system in Ashe county has pass
ed both houses of the General AS
sembly and has been ratified. The
bill repeats the law of the session of
1885 which established jury COM
mission for Ashe county. Since three
of the four courts held in Ashe coun-
ty are scheduled for April, May, and
July, the bill changes the date for
revising the jury box and drawing
jurors from the first Monday in July
to the first Monday in March. 1t also
provides for drawing the same num-
be of jurors for the second week OF
civil terms of court as are drawn for
the first week since each week OF
the civil terms of court are of equal
dignity and importance.
Mr.. Hash also has introduced a
bill to repeal the law passed in 1885
which provided for a county conven-
ton in off years to elect a chairman
of the County Democratic Executive
committee. His bill would restore
the former procedure which is uni
form all over the state Of the selec-
ton of a county chairman and town
ship executive committees IN cleo
ton years and would provide for
their selection at the primaries and
the convention called for the pur-
pose of selecting county candidates.

Paves Way for
Bitter Fight on
Court Proposal
Nine of Present Supreme Court
Justices Now Over 20; Favors
Retirement for Them

While other matters demanded at
tention in Capitol Hill in Washing
ton this week, it was realized that
President Roosevelt's bill for reor-
ganizing the country's judicial sys-
TEN will be uppermost in the minds
of members of Congress and of Off
cial Washington until the issue shall
have been resolved. It has been
made equally plain that the impend-
ing struggle is destined to be one in
which Titans engage, and the ulti-
mate decision is certain to be of his
toric significance, however it may
eventuate.
The Roosevelt-court fight in brief:
President Roosevelt proposes to
Congress a plan to inject new
blood" into Supreme Court and low
er Federal courts and to change pro-
cedure.
For each Federal judge past 70
who refused to retire, an additional
judge would be appointed. If the six
justices of the Supreme Court now
over 20 stayed on the bench, six
more would be appointed, raising
the tribunals membership from nine
to Is.
No Federal court could make a
decision on constitutional questions
without hearing the attorney gen.
erals arguments.
Questions of constitut o ALT y
could be appealed direct from the
lowest Federal court to the Supreme
Court.
A new official, the Supreme
Courts proctor, would be named to
assist the chief justice in relieving
court congestion.
Congress split on the plan. Ad-
ministration men rallied to it and
predicted quick passage. Some Re-
publicans and Democrats opposed it..
Six of the nine justices are over
seventy. They are: Chief Justice
Hughes, "a; Justice Van Devanter,
II; Justice McReynolds, IS; Justice
Brandeis, 80; Justice Sutherland,
IA, and Justice Butler, 20.

Conditions in
Flooded Area
Are Brighter
Homeless Thousands Turn to Big
Job of Trying to Build Back
Their Wrecked Homes

Dying winds, bright weather and
falling water relieved anxiety oA
Mississippi valley dWel1ers above
Memphis this week and cheered
down-river 1evee workers preparing
for approaching flood crests.
The peak of the torrent apparently
was passing Memphis. For ten hours,
the level of the river remained near
ly constant after climbing to record
heights.
But army engineers warned: "The
crest of the flood is very flat and
the stage of the river will remain
near crest proportions for several
days"
A twenty-four hour battle with
winds that drove combining white
caps against the already taxed levees
appeared won.
In the meantime, the thousands Of
homeless in the devastated area
around Cincinnati, Louisville, and
Evansville were preparing to begin
to build back. Many have been sep
arated from their families and many
have had their dead carried away
to burial places that will never be
known.
It is hard to imagine over mil
lion men, women, and children scat
tered around without food, without
heat or shelter, with no clothes only
those on their backs, and all reports
from the flooded area say that the
newspapers and radios have not told
the story half as bad as it actually is.
The job of building back" will be
an even bigger one than the problem
that confronted the inhabitants dur
ing the worst of the flood.

|Ashe Sends Over
$3.50 to Victims
of Recent Flood
List of Contributors So Long
This Week That They Will
Be Carried Later
L. P. COWARD is PLEASED

Schools and individuals have re-
sponded so well to the call for help
in the Ohio River valley flood dis
trict that it was impossible to print a
list Of all the contributors this week.
They will be carried next week.
L. P. Coward, who is in charge of
the work here in the county has
written the following word of appre-
citation to the public:
The Idlewild school, under the
supervision of Mrs. Myrtle Fletcher,
sponsored a box supper on Saturday
night Feb. 5th, to raise funds for the
Red Cross flood relief. The supper
was a grand success as $54.00 was
taken in and this amount has been
turned over to the local chapter.
This is the largest single contribu-
ton turned in at one time. Mrs.
Fletcher is to be congratulated on
this fine piece of work, and she
wishes to thank each and every one
who took part in raising the money
and especially thanks the ladies who
furnished the extra pies, etc.
There has been other nice contri-
buttons from the Idlewild section, as
well as other good contributions
from all over the county.
Most schools of the county have
responded wonderfully to this fund.
I wish to take this opportunity to
thank every one who has contribut-
ed to the fund through our local
chapter of the Red Cross, as this will
show the national headquarters of
the Red Cross that we are doing our
part in this time of distress in the
flood districts, and we appreciate the
workers all over the county who
have given their time and work in
securing donations fom their friends
in their communities. It is a noble
work. Up to- this time more than
$3.50. 90 has been raised Ia this coun-
ty and sent ont -tf1r0Ggh one local
diaper to tie national headquarters
at NJ Arlington, .. C.
II is reported that contributions
have been made to different radio
stations calling for funds. Please do
not do this as the place where this
money is sent from will get credit
for it, and all funds raised in this
county should have credit here in
Ashe. Anyone wishing to make
further contributions to the flood re-
lief fund can give or send to Miss
Ruth Reeves, West Jefferson, or L.
P. Coward, Jefferson, N. c.

STRIKE SITUATION
THOUGHT BETTER

A more optimistic view by high
administration officials in Washing
ton, as well as disclosure that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had talked by tele-
phone with the conferees in Detroit
who for six days have sought to
break the strike deadlock, heighten-
ed hopes for an agreement that
would return more than 100000
General Motors workers to their
jobs.
The new proposals were advanced,
an authoritative source said, in an
extended meeting of the negotiators
this week, a meeting first scheduled
to be of brief duration.
This source, saying that II think
we see ray of light" in the difficult
strike situation, declined to discuss
the nature of proposals.
