BITTER FIGHTS ON
GASOLINE TERMINAL
Four Coastal Cities to Battle
Each Other for State
Ports
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, Jan. 23-IntrOductiOn of
measures designed to put into effect
recommendations of the North Caro-
lima Gasoline Terminal Commission is
certain within the next week or ten
DAVIS, and when this has been accom-
plished one of the bitterest fights
imaginable is sure to break out over
location of the State terminal recon-
mended by the commission.
The commission, not wishing to put
itself ION the spot" for political assas-
sination by sections seeking the ter
minals and not recommended there
for, named four sites as available"
and wisely refrained from singing out
any one for particular favor.
The sites are Wilmington, Morehead
City, Southport and Fayetteville, and
any one who knows his history knows
that when this quartet of seaports, or
would be SeapOrtS, get into competi-
ton no quarter is asked or shown.
Wilmington looks upon the others
as upstairs , lAg to take away
what belongs to the Port City of
Progress and Pleasure by right of
being the biggest and oldest. The
others look upon Wilmington as a
moribund and outmoded relic of the
past, with it's future all behind it.
And each of the three is more than
little jealous of the others.
And so when the legislature has en-
acted into law the commissions re-

to one of the finest knock-down drag
out, raw-head and bloody-boned bat
ties in recent years.
incidentally the commission has
lodged this for the legislature, too,
putting the duty of buying terminals
and selecting their sites upon the
Council of State.

DR.. Cocker Suggests
Possible Solution
OF Bus Problem

Chapel Hill, Jan. 23-Perhaps the
best solution of the transportation
problem for North Carolina school
children would be to make contracts
in each county with a responsible
transportation company which would
be held to proper State specifications
as to buses and drivers, was the op-
inion expressed here today by DR.
Robert E. Coker, head of the Univer-
sity Zoology Department, who is
chairman of the Board of Trustees of
the Chapel Hill schools.
In advancing this proposal, DR..
Cocker said he thought this plan might
he cheaper and more satisfactory in
the long run.
DR.. COkers statement also said:
THE purchase of 100 or 1000 buses
may relieve some of the difficulties of
the present situation with regard to
transportation of public school pupils.
but it clearly does not get to the bot
tom of the matter and will not be sat
isfactory to those who believe that
children are entitled to the same Bro
lection in transportation as are adults
New buses can relieve crowding
and reduce the number of daily trips
for one bus, but the people of the
State can not look with pride on top
heavy, inflammable buses provided
with shatterable glass and so design
ed that the aisles can not be clear if
as many as three children are on the
bus and that adolescent boys and
girls sit with feet interlocked across
a narrow aisle. The expense entailed
in providing for children the kind of
buses that adults require for them
selves need not be estimated.
Nevertheless, can we avoid working
toward that end?
ut may DE that we ought to aban-
don the plan of consolidation. I do not
pretend to have the solution of the
problem, but 1 know that the present
conditions of transportation can scar
cely be defended on the grounds of
efficiency, safety, or decency. It will
be pity if we await the occurrence
catastrophe involving the lives of
many school children before we seri-
ously attempt to change a situation
that is plainly wrong"

from voting in Democratic primaries.
These regulations are seen as direct
result of the many charges banded
by both sides during the Hoey-Mc-
Donald second primary last summer,
and to lesser extent in the first pri-
mary when Sandy Graham was in
the lists along with the Shelby law
yer and the Winston-Salem professor.
The new registration, too, is seen
as a direct move to remove any
grounds for charges such as featured
the gubernatorial primaries when it
was rather generally alleged that sup
porters of all candidates, but parti-
cularly of Mr.. Hoey, were voting the
grave yards" and likewise persons
who had long since removed from the
State or transferred to other pre-
cincts or counties.
Along this line also was the pro-
vision, adopted on motion of George
Hampton, Greensboro, requiring every
voter transferring from one precinct
to another to present certificate
showing his party affiliation and set
ting out the fact that his maze has
been stricken from the registration
book in the precinct from which he
is removing.
The conmitte would see too that q
voter, once having declared his party
affhiation, cannot change it at the
very last moment so as to take in a
primary of an opposing party. This
would be effected by prohibiting
changes of utilization less than Is
days before the date of any primary
and absolutely prohibiting change of
utilization between a first and a run
off primary.
AS affecting candidates, the COM
mittee recommended that no person
who seeks a party nomination and
fails to receive it shall have his name
printed on the official ballot at the
general election as the candidates of
any political party. Also it is recon-
mended that no candidate be permit
ted to run in a primary of a party
with which he is not affiliated. Pro
vision is made to allow a change of
utilization upon affidavit of the can
didate and public announcement that
he intends to change his affiliation.

HOME LOAN BANK
At HEAD OF LIST
Winston Institution Tops
Nation in One Line,
Second In Another

Winston-Salem, Jan. 23-Only one
of the dozen Federal Home Loan
Banks in the United States made
more loans to savings, building and
loan associations, and only one made
loans in a greater aggregate amount,
than the Federal Home Loan Bank OF
Winston-Salem, and the Winston
Salem bank topped the entire list in
amount of repayments made during
the calendar year of 1886, state
ment made today by President q. X.
LaRoque shows.
The Federal Home Loan Bank OF
Winston-Salem made 920 loans total
ing $10,918,S60 during the year, While
those made by the Chicago bank num-
bered 1912 and amount to $11 ,543,26l
The Cincinnati bank made 5O7 loans
totaling $10,60S,525. The remaining
banks located at Boston, New York,
Pittsburgh, Indianapolis Des Monies,

Portland was third with repayments
of $5,35S, 800.
AS further indicating the success
and activity of the WinstOn-Salem
bank, President LaROque announced
that notices and dividend checks have
been sent to the members, or stock
holders, showing that the net operat-
ing profits in 1886 reached 1885, 64O.62,
which is $9,7423S more than the two
per cent dividend declared in 1885.
The directors, however, declared
dividend of l 1-2 per cent, aggregat-
ing $14607759, leaving $5S,434.91 to
be added to the surplus account for
1886 operations after deducting re-
quired statutory reserves. After pay
ment of the 1886 dividend, the bank
now carries reserve of $151, 1914 and
has a surplus or unallocated profits
of $64 ,06274, the statement shows.

in the fourth district, embracing the
seven states Of Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Maryland, North and South
Carolina, Virginia and the District
of Columbia, 1874 loans were made in
the State of North Carolina aggregat-
ing $1.601!782, President LaRoque's
statement shows.

of a mild cocktail to pick Joel up.
Then they would be alone to
talk, to have Janet tell Joel how
much she loved him, Joel to tell
Janet how complete his life had
been these last two months.
Janet listened avidly to everything
that Joel had to tell her about the
theater and in exchange offered
him the stories of her mild adven-
lures Of her afternoons: She had
seen a book on raising peacocks
at the library and wondered if she
should get up on the subject. The
man who sold pussy willows told
her he had once been a strong man
in a circus. Mr.. Schweizer, the
butcher, said his wife was going
to name the baby r. Delano
Schweizer after the president.
They dined usually in a little
tearoom up the street-5O cents
with a wide choice Of entrees
and Janet walked to the subway
with Joel. She would often have
liked to go to the theater with
him but she knew how he would
have detested the thought Of her
waiting in his dressing room for
him.
She had soon tired Of going back
to their apartment" alone to read
for the next three hours. She
didn't go to the movies because
that was what she and Joel did at
least two nights a week, catching
a midnight show. Their social life
was lived after IL at night. 1t
was then that her new friends and
a few Of her old ones came to the
Paynters' home. At first Janet
had been afraid that the noise
when Ted levers played his con-
certina and Joel sang in his husky
baritone would awaken the neigh
bors but she soon learned that her
neighbors, who were mostly the
atrical people, lived by the same
schedule.
Janet ran up the flight of brown
stone steps and while she fumbled
in her purse for her keys, the door
opened.
"Hello, Mrs: Birney. Thanks for
letting me in" she addressed her
landlady. At first she had tried to
escape Mrs. Birney's loquacious
sociability. Lately she had well
coined it.
"Any messages for me 2" she
asked cheeri1y and looked toward
the table in the hall where the
telephone slips were left.
There's a lady waiting for you
upstairs and I've a message from
Mr.. Paynter." She fished in her
apron pocket and brought out the
folded slip.
"A lady?" Janet asked and UNI
folded the slip. She was glad for
the darkness of the hall. She
didn't want Mrs. Birney to see how
her face felbas she read that Joel
would not be home until after the

 Doctors say she must use crut- ches for long time, but that some day she will be able to walk again.
 She received the news of the death of her parents in the hos pital with great fortitude.
 The young lady was assisted to the hospital by Infantile paraly- sis funds raised at Anchorage a year ago at the Roosevelt Birth day Ball, given for that purpose.
