City Limits
Hearing Is
Without Pep
Proponents Have Few
Advocates B efore
Legislative Commit
tee Tuesday

The hearing before the House
Committee on Counties, Cities and
Towns in Releigh Tuesday AFTERNOON
on bill to provide for an election
on the question of extending the city
limits of Henderson lacked pep and
certainly the support that had been
expected on the part of the support
ers of the issue, according to those
who attended.
While the room was repeatedly
about filled with opponents of the
measure, only about half a dozen
proponents attended. Included in this
latter number were Mayor Henry T.
Powell and City Attorney A. A. Bum,
who spoke forsit, and City Alderman
F. B. Hight. Speakers against the
measure were j. c. Kittrell and J. H.
Bridgers, Henderson attorneys.
The City Council had proposed the
measure by a favorable vote of five
to three of its eight members; but
Mr.. Hight was the only member of
the Council at the hearing.
When visitors were asked by the
committee to stand, only about a
dozen proponents rose to their feet,
while nearly the entire assemblage
stood when opponents were called
up.
1t had been generally expected in
advance Of the meeting that an I'M
favorable report would result from
the hearing. The bill was offered in
the House Monday night of last week
by Mr.. Hunt under the 'by request"
heading
The measure now goes to the House
with an unfavorable report, which
means its certain end.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Some months ago Richard Bar
rick, boy who reads our column.
asked me to write about the value
OF travel"
One good thing about travel is its
power to broaden our minds and
viewpoints. We learn that things
are not always done as we have been
used to seeing them done in our
home city. village or country district
All through the ages people have
found out things by travelling. The
travellers have learned, and they
have taught people they met.
The ancient Phoenicians were
great travellers, and they are hon
ored for having spread knowledge
of the alphabet. 1t seems certain
they did not invent the alphabet.
but they found out about it and
passed the facts along. The art of
writing helped them in their trading
when they sailed to Greece and
other lands on the borders of the
Mediterranean sea.
Another value of travel comes
