Rev. James A. Jones To Dr.

Rev. James A. Jones, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Hender-
son, has been designated as chairman
for the Granville Presbytery of the
campaign for the ministers annuity
fund of the church in the territory,
and has started his campaign to raise
100000 for the cause in 1887.
The fund is to go into a pool of 3d.
100000 set as the goal for the South
ern Presbyterian Church as an en-
dowment from which assistance will
be provided to aged ministers of the
denomination.
In his campaign, as we'll as in the
conduct Of the pastorate of the local
church, Rev Mr.. Jones has the as
sistance of Miss Gibson Hardaway
of Blackstone, Va, who has come here
to become his secretary. She is a
graduate of the Southern Presby-
terrain Assembly's training school in
Richmond, and has been especially
equipped for church work.
Miss Hardaway has already assum-
ed her duties, and Mr.. Jones is getting
under way his campaign for the an
nuity fund in the presbytery.
The local church will have its
every member" canvass for the an
nual budget during the two weeks
starting next Sunday. Some other
churches of the presbytery have al
ready started their canvass, the first
two weeks of March having been de-
signated for the purpose.

were acted upon.
More than $50 bills are expected to

GLIDING the local bills the 50 public
bills not reached yesterday and the
new batch of bills that came over

The Senate, however, entirely clear

ed to get begged down almost as deep
ly as the House is now when the
House gets around to passing some OF

AS result of these conditions
many of the more experienced observ-
ers agree that it will be impossible
for the assembly to adjourn even by
March 20, while a good many are
convinced that if the present epide-
mic of the foot-and-mouth disease con-
tinues among the members of the as
sembly, the session may last until
April 1. Some have expressed the
opinion that this would be very
appropriate day for the assembly to
come to an end. Old timers agree
that the resolutions fixing today as
the deadline for the introduction of
new bills and setting March 18 as the
date for final adjournment mean alb
sclutaly nothing. Just as long as
members have bills to introduce, the
House and Senate will agree to SUI

Most of the Tuesday afternoon
House session was taken up with
talk about the Vogler bills to change
the hour and date of elections, the
bill to increase the travelling expens-
es" of superior and supreme court
judges and to increase the salaries of
State employees. The House decided to-,
pass the Vogler bill fixing the hours
that polls shall be open on election
days from z a. m. to Z p. M, as advo-
Gated by the newspapers of the State.
But it refused to consider the bill to
change the date of all elections from,
Saturday to Tuesday also advocated
this measure maintained that the
ldILAeIs WOulH not come gut anu voIe
as numerously on Tuesdays as they
do on Saturdays.
The real reason for the defeat Of
this bill, according to those close to
the inner circle, was the opposition
from the county rings" back in the
home counties of members to the Sat
urday date, due to the fact that it is
easier to get poll workers to work"
on Saturdays, also that liquor can be
used more effectively instead Of cash
