COUNTIES ARRAYED
ON APPORT|ONMENT.
Guilford and Rockingham
Suspicious of Each Other
On Legislators
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
Tn the Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, March 15.-Rockingham
county politicians are wondering just
how hard they are going to be hit by
repercussions of the reapportionment
fight in the 1887 General Assembly
which repercussions have been parti-
cularly loud in Guilford county of late.
1t may turn out that while Rock
ingham will have two House members
in the 1889 General Assembly, it will
have no State senator, instead of the
one to which it has been accustomed
For Rockingham is in the same
senatorial district with Guilford, and
if the gentleman's agreement now in
effect between the two counties goes
by the board, then the voting streng
tn of Greensboro, High Point and
rural Guilford will, if it can he united,
is easily enough to give Guilford two
senators and Rockingham feeling Of
intense disappointment.
AS a reprisal and retaliatory meas
ure, nothing seems more logical than
for Guilford to kick out of the traces
and refuse to travel team fashion witt
Rockingham; for. the former county
stood to gain a representative and tn :,
General Assembly could be cajoled o.
forced into carrying out the provision
of the State Constitution regarding
eapportionment
In every fight over the subject
there has been one regularly each ses-
sion since 1931-Gui1ford has fought
for, and Rockingham against a new
apportionment deal; and in every
fight Guilford has been licked and
Rockingham victorious.
What more natural, then, than that
Guilford should eventually come TO
the conclusion that if it can't get a
representative to which it feels en-
titled, it will take a senator which it
unquestionably has the electoral pow
er to take in order to square accounts.
According to circumstantial &C
counts reaching this bureau, it is no.
at all impossible that .Guilford will
declare itself mo gentleman" as fa,'
as senatorial agreements go.

Today's Church
Message
BY REV. J. EvERETTE NEESE.

Is anybody happier because you pass
ed his way?
Does anyone remember that you
spoke to him today?
When this day is over and it's toiling
time is through,
is there anyone to offer q kindly word
about you?
DID you give friendly greeting to the
friend who came along
Or curlish sort of "Howdy'' and then
vanished in the throng?
Were you selfish, pure and simple
as you rushed along your way
Or is someone mighty grateful for a
deed you did today?
Can you say tonight in parting with
the day that's slipping fast,
That you helped a single brother OF
the many that you passed?
Is single heart rejoicing over what
you did or said?
Does man whose hopes were fading.
now with courage look ahead?
AS you close your eyes in slumber, do
you think that God would say,
You have earned one more tomorrow
by the works you did today?

present status of LAT miles in four
counties makes a new approval OF
the State REA necessary to comply
with the law which requires such ap-
proval before the federal REA can
advance the none yallotted. The ap-
prevail, technically at least, should
have been granted before the federal
action. The present petition seeks
such approval "nunc pro tunc," a le-

mated will serve several hundred ru-
