A memorial day address paying
tribute to the lives and work OF
three Southern men, Matthew Fon-
taine Maury, stonewall Jackson,
and Robert E. Lee, was delivered
by the Rev. Edgar B. Fisher,
pastor Trinity Methodist church,
at a meeting of the Cape Fear
chapter, United Daughters OF the
Confederacy, held on Sunday in
the parish house of the st. James
Episcopal church.
Preceding the main address.
Mrs. Thomas Brown sang "Out of
the Deep" accompanied by Miss
Johanna Duls. The meeting was
presided over by Mrs. j. S. Crow
ley. president.
Mr.. Fisher. introduced by the
Rev. Mortimer Glover, rector st.
James church, stated that the
three men, Maury, Jackson, and
Lee, were among the most out
standing that the Southland ever
produced and that time cannot de-
tract from their fame.
Though comparatively little at
tention has been given to the study
of the life of Maury, his life furn-
fishes a wonderful illustration OF
what can be accomplished by one
who unites vision with work i. .
as undismayed by hardships and
public criticism. he snatched from
the ocean and atmosphere the
secret of their laws and charted
pathways across the oceans, be-
coming in reality the Pathfinder of
the Seas. the speaker said.

RALEIGH, Jan. 20-(P-Lt. Gov
L. Y. Ballentine, president of the
Senate, tonight named two addi-
tional conferees from that body to
a joint conference committee which
is to study a report on recommen-
dations for supplementary pay in
creases for state employees and
teachers.
Those named to the committee
by Ballentine were Sens. O.. B.
Moss of Nash, who opposed the &C
ceptance Of the original confer
ence committees report, and John
C. Rodman of Beaufort, who voted
for the acceptance of the report.
The General assembly also heard
reports transmitted from the gov
ernor on four special commissions
authorized by the 1915 General

The reports concerned: redist"i-
buting of solicitorial districts from
81 to 10; compulsory inspection Of
motor vehicles by state or state
controlled agencies; establishing
financial responsibility in automo-
bile accidents involving either per
sonal property damage D. damage
to individuals, and establishing a
committee to study the oyster in
dustry of the state.
Rejected BY House
The Senate voted A to 2 in favor
Of accepting the report of the con
ference committee, only to have
the House reject the report by
an overwhelming majority.
Sen. Rivers johnson of Duplin
asked that the Senate reconsider
its vote to discharge the confer
encees of that body. This group
originally named Sens. Willie Lee
Lumpkin Of Franklin, Wade Bar
Der of Chatham and Wade Brown
of Watauga assists conference rep
resentatives.
Johnson's motion was carried by
All oral vote, according to Ballen-
tine, president of the Senate.
Shortly after this motion was
carried, Sen. D. L. libby Ward
Of Craven introduced a motion, as
SB11, which would instruct the
Senate %conferees to vote for salary
increases for teachers and other
state employees in the total amount
substantially, and not less than
called for in the House amend
ment (of Rep. Oscar G. Barker of
Durham), and that special consid-
Grafton be given to teachers and

believe in instructing the conferees,
particularly since I'VE have voted
by a to 2 to accept the report
Of the conference committee.
Clay in 1872, when presiding
over a legislative group, said that
the conferences were bound by
the two extremes. Here we are
bound either by the original RECON-
