a burglar; he's considered himself a
mighty important dog ever since.
Performing dogs have earned their
keep since the days of the Roman
Empire. Plutarch wrote of seeing
wonderful dog-actor in Rome. The
smartest acting-dog ever knew was
once out of a job. Three or four years
ago was in a grocefy store in New
York City when medium-sized black
and-white dog, part fox terrier and part
bulldog, came in, stood on his hind
legs, rested his forepaws on the counter
and waited until the clerk took slip
of paper from his mouth.
After the clerk had consulted the
paper and filled the order. he and l
watched the dog leave the store, hold

wouldn't drag, and trot round the
corner. That's the smartest dog l

Swiftly the young man bent over,
smelled the helmets - smelled reek

Ames had had an Irish mother.

whispered, as he changed the helmets
about, ''be your best bed for ever" As
the Binghi numbered forward to help
him into the helmet, Ames added an
other curse, aimed at Jim. just then

Diennium.
"The twelfth grade has been pro-
posed for public schools and to be-
installed gradually, but it was i'm
possible to find funds under the pres
ent economic conditions to provide
for both the twelfth grade and in.
crements without increasing taxes
and it is thought best to- leave this
matter up to the General Assembly
for whatever consideration and &C
ton might be thought best"
And so the whole thing has been
dumped in the legislative lap with
quite a controversy in prospect.
In his address to the lawmakers
last week, Governor Clyoe r. Hoey
spoke out in favor of both thu twelfth
grade, gradually introduced oyer q
four-year period, and the additional
ninth year salary increment.
Teachers Lobby Powerful.
In view of the position taken by TIE
governor-dominated budget commits
sion, there are going to be many legis-
lators bemused and befuddled to fig
ure out what His Excellency does, in
fact want; and there are going to be
frantic calls on him to set the thing
straight.
If it were not for the highly or
ganized and highly efficient teachers
Lobby there would be little doubt of
the outcome of such a legislative bat
tie. The twelfth grade would go in
and the teachers could whistle for
their ninth year increment just how
far the North Carolina Education As
ISOLATION (Jule Warren, general in
chief will go in battling for the group
of some 5000 teachers with nine years
experience is quite problematical.
This, particularly, in, view of the
fact that Mr.. Warren is known to
want a teachers retirement system
in preference to any one thing asked
by them for the coming biennium.
Incidentally, the budget report fol-
lows the governors message on that
feature, which is to say it is as silent
as the tomb.

who headed finance in 1885 and pre-
sided with an iron-hand as speaker
over the 1887 sessions. He heads IN
employment compensation, and ranks
high on finance. That isn't as good
as he would have done if Bryant had
won, but satisfied him under the cir
cumstances.
Geography Hurts Some.
Geography, which placed Ward in
the chair, rose to plague him tremen-
doussv in .apportioning committees,
and no where was it more bother than
in agriculture. The east has had that
post for years, the east has it in the
Senate now, and the west claimed
it in the House. There was plenty OF
argument for the west, there was
plenty of material there; diversified
farming wanted it, since cotton and
| tobacco has had it SO many times.
But this time politics and pre-caucus
obligations outweighed geography,
and it went to W. W. Eagles of Edge
combe Eagles served in that same
| post in 1885, his neighbor Fenner
from Nash had it last year and the
combination was too strong for Mr.
Ward this time. Rurgin, of Hender-
son, dairy and poultry farmer and
operator Of commercial apple or
chard, expected it. IS
BECAUSE of recognized ability, long
legislative experience, close relation
to the administration, and other oh
vious reasons, Odus M. Null, of Cleye-
land, had to be taken care of hand
somely. He got chairmanship Of epr-
porations, a place where he can do
much or little as the whliirmn strikes
| him.
Worry on Amendments.

er Ward until the absolute deadline on
getting his committee list typed, was
the committee on constitrti9nas
amendments. That committee will ge,

by, the good roads associations, the
various automobile and truck deal

submission of an amendment to pro
hibit gas tax diversion. On the other
side will be the force of the admin
istration, the governor having made
that the longest subtitle in his mes
sage, opposing the amendment. The
stiave and diplomatic. Fitzhurgh Wal
lace, of Lenior, heads the committee.
So far as could be gathered from
comment about the hall of the House,
this appointment is exceptionally sat

was generally conceded that Hatch

other was an appropriate place for
