f BROKE ALL RECORDS ? v Jldooobile lias a Mile io Bat Little _ Over L'slf a Minute RACERS RUN FASTER THAN WIND . in His Twin 60-horse Power Machine He Establishes a New World's Record?The Ten-Mile Record Was Also Smashed Again, Young MacDonald Going It In 6.15. Ormond, Fla., Special.?The greatest! automobile meeting ever held in this country or any other country so far as smashing records is concerned, closed here Tuesday afternoon. The last performance was the running of a mile in 32 4-5 seconds by H. L. Bowden, in his twin 60-horsc-power car. It was after the day's events had been finish|' ed. He asked permission of the officials to try for the kilometer and mile record, and the course was cleared for him. He took a good dying start, and, as he tripped the wire of the automatic time machine, tie crowd expected a new world's record, for the car was. going faster than the speed of a hurricane. Unfortunately, the kilometer time was not caught on tne automauc, but several watches gave it as 20 3-4 seconds, the world's record being 21:55. The previous mile record was clipped considerably until the opening of this meeting. It was 39 flat, made last year by W. K. Vanderbilt. Last week J ^ Arthur E. MacPcnald trimmed it down j to 34 2-5, and soon after Mr. Bowden knocked off another fifth. Since then he expressed the opinion that he could go 33 seconds or under. He did it. Young Mac Doc aid was also to have tried for a world's kilometer and better mile record, but certain parts of his engine became strained. He made the attempt, however, making the kilometer in 25 2-5. The automatic failed on the mile, which was not taken. It * would not have been a record. The 10-mlle record was again smashed. It was in the final of the Ormand derby for the Major Miller trophy. Young MacDonald, who won the trophy. covered the 10 miles in 6:15. The record before this meet was 6:50, made oy W. K. Vanderbilt here last year. Last week Mr. Thomas trimmed this down to 6:31 4-5. He was second in the 10-mlle Ormond derby this morning finishing in 6:18 1-5, beating his own fine record of a few days ago. It was after this race that MacDonald's machine bent a bar, which interfered with the proper handling of his machine. The fifth mile -ace was devoid of any special interest, although some world's records were made. It seems the order of things now for world's records to be estAblluhed each year on the Ormond beach. These records are tried for at other meetu at home and abroad, but it remains lor new machines to come here and lower the records. All are agreed that there is not such a speedway on earth as the stretch along this coast from hare to Mosquito Inlet. Two Women Cremated. Burlington, N. C., Special.?News has reached hero from Tony, Caswell county, 20 miles north of Burlington, of the burning of the home of Mrs. Sarah A. Florence, mother of Mr. A. 6.

Washington, Special.?The Senate Tneadav continued the consideration of the joint statehood bill with Mr. Nelson as the principal speaker. A number of bills were passed, including one largely increasing the fees for incorporation of stock companies in the District of Columbia. While this bill was under consicleration, Mr. Bacon made inquiry as to whether it intended to curtail the evils relating to corporations which bad been pointed out by the President, and Mr. Gallinger replied that it would have a beneficial effect on regulating corporations organised in the future, but would not in any way regulate existing corporations. Death of Judge Hobson. Salisbury, Special.?Mr. A. H. Price, has received a message telling him that his uncle. Judge James Hobson, ^ of Greensboro. Alabama, died Monday night at 11:30 o'clock, pneumonia being the cause. Judge Hobson was a native of North Carolina, being in his early life a resident of Davie county. 14 miles from Salisbury.

Among those making speeches advocating the bill were C. M. Busbee, James H. Pou, George Strong, Thos. B. Womack, and K. H. Hayes, mese appcarea in response to an invitation by the chairman. Judges Graham and WInborne. of the committee opposed the increase, as did Feimster, another lawyer member. Eringhaus, McNinch, Laughinghouse and others of the committee spoke in favor of the bill- as adopted by the Senate and this prevailfd. The committee, by a vote of 9 to 7, decided to report favorably a bill to put solicitors on a saiary, but delayed namirg the amount of such salary until a sub-committee, by inquiring into present incomes of the sixteen solicitors of the State under the present fee system, can approximate and agree on a fair salary. Wednesday's Work. In Senate no bills of general importance were introduced except one reducing fares on railroad and one to better regulating fire insurance and ether companies. Bills passed to better protect clams and other shell fish in several counties. The principal discussion was on the Ward bill, which amends the Watts liquor regulation. It provides that no town of less than 1,500 people could grant license ,for the manufacture or sale of liquor. An amendment was accepted by Ward to modify this by making population 1,000. A further amendment was offered providing that every town authorizing the sale or manufacture shall keep a salaried ponce omce, wno snau mako daily inspections and monthly reports, and the possession of United States license to sell where sale or manufacture i? prohibited shall be piima facie evidence of violation of the Stato law. Mr. Ward said theso additions did not change his bill in eny respect. A motion to postpone consideration was made. Mr. Stubbs said the bill would probably bo the only liquor legislation to come before this session and it involved principles of tho utmost importance. Mr. Burton said that from a political standpoint, the bill should be considered. Tne motion to postpone until Thursday was adopted almost unanimously. Bills passed final reading to enable married man whose wives are Insane, or lunatics, to convert their land free of dower upon certificate of superintendent of horpital for the insane; to cure defective orders in the registration of deeds. In the House a bill was Introduced to regulate the sale of patent medicines containing alcohol or dangerous drugs; to amend the fire Insurance act of 1899, to provide for interchangeable mileage books on railways. Bills passed regulating the rale of cotton seed and fixing a standard; changing the name of the Enter* nvice Covir.fr on 1 1 no*i Pr\m nonrf fn )'i tow wu? iiijj una uvait vviiij'auj iv tie Waxhaw Banking and Loan Comrony; io provide for the election of county commissioners by the people in Union; to authorize Mecklenburg's beard of education to borrow money; to provide for primary elections in Craven; to include Stanly. Ashe and Montgomery counties in the act punishing the killing of fish with dynamite.

Scales said he did not oppose the bill but it should go before the committee on appropriation, as although it relieved ice board of agriculture from contributing to the college, it provided for an appropriation. Mr. McLean, chairman of .the agricultural committee which reported the bill favorably, asked the bill be not referred. He as!:cd that his original bill which was set for a special order berwithdrawn and % bill which carried unanimously in the House containing the same reports. be substituted. Mr. McLean ; said the board of agriculture should | not appropriate their funds to the Agricultural & Mechanical College: that these amounts should not come from i the pockets of the farmers alone. He j hoped Scales' motion would be voted I down. Scales said the bill carried I with it an appropriation of $10,000 and it should go before the proper commiti tee. He said investieation never hurts j a good bill and If it was a proper one it would not be hurt and a few days delay would work no injury. He asked what was tbe use of such a committee if it were not referred to the proper committee. McLean asked if the substitute from the House would not be considered by the appropriation committee if it were re-referred. Scales replied that this would be done. McLean withdrew his original bill and by his consent the substitute from the House was referred to the committee on appropriations. The Lacy Resolution. The House resolution on the Lacy bill, the special order for yesterday was taken up. Mr. Foushee said he earnestly hoped the resolution would pass. He was absent when the bill was originally voted upon and had he been here he would have raised his voice against it. It was a most dangerous act. Worth lost $1G,000 by the same man Martin, in old age. had been Treasurer for two terms, and finding he had lost $16,000 by another's dishonesty he had to go into bankruptcy. The bill does not give Worth one cent but Lacy $300. who is in the same condition. no better than Worth. We should not give Mr. Lacy $300. "I have spoken to one cf the most prominent Democrats in the State and with but one exception they have all said the action of the Senate and House was a most dangerous one." Boddie moved to table the bill. Ayes and noes were called for. 19 Senators voted to table the bill and 17 voted in the negative and the hill was taoiea. un motion 01 Senator Zollicoffer, the Senate was adjourned until 12 o'clock tomorrow. ANTI-JUG LAW. The McNinch bill enacting a law the place of delivery of liquors the place ol sale In prohibition territory. He stated he voted for the repeal of the sneak law cf two years ago, and he called upon those of the House who acted in good faith to allow this bill to pass its second reading. He was willing foi those living in counties bordering on the Virginia line who desired to do sc to have their counties exempted before the bill came up on its third reading. In reply to a question Mr. McNinch said that the anti-jug law was yet in force, the Senate not having repealed it. He said he had copied the exact language of the present law He declared that there was a possibility that the Senate would so delay the repeal of the anti-Jug law as to make the enactment of the present bill impossible. On the other hand if the bill was allowed to pass the House with these counties deserving exemption placed there, no harm would be done them, while the prohibition countlewould obtain relief. Murphy opposed immediate action, saying it was ridiculous to vote on this bill before the Senate had acted on the other. Should the Senate fail to repeal the present law it would remain in force as now. He moved to postpone further consideraQonoto hnH Apfp.rl on thf HVLk UU in IUC uvuwvv UMU repeal bill. If the present law was repealed be would vote for the McNinch bill after bis county and such othei counties as desired it had been exempted. McNinch and Turlington spokt against postponement, while Woodward of Wilson, Warren, Mitchell, Murphy ol buncombe, Wood and Winborne favored It McNinch before the motion foi postponement reached the vote agreed that the bill should be made a special order for Thursday. It was ordered printed. LABOR WORLD. In Norway there are 232 locals a fill irtteu witn tue Aauouai r euerauou 01 Labor.
