Mr Riley?Ways and means. How He Workedi It. One day a visitor at a charity bazaar noticed a man going along the line of booths, buying nothing and yet leaving a smiling face behind him. Curious to learn how he did it, the visitor strolled up just as the man, after looking over some things at the last booth, was about to pass on. "Why don't you buy something at my table?" the girl in the booth demanded. '"Because." the man said confidentially. "I buy only from the homely girls; they have a harder time making sales." ^ <ti ?

On that account they suggested that an immediate tax of $1 per horse power with a special road tax of one or two mills will get something immediately done. In other words, they figure that one mill will raise $380,000; two mills will raise $760,000. With a dollar per horse power license tax on automobiles, supplemented by the federal aid, it is figured that there would be over $3,000,000 of funds available annually without delay, and if this method be continuea there would be an expenditure of, say, three millions, and this would get what some argue quicker results than to wait on a bond issue. Of course, there is going to be a great deal of contention as to what work should ^e done. Some legislators already openly and avowedly say that they are not going to do anything to help a bond issue unless their counties get full share of the new roads. It is argued that the best thing to do is to have a scheme that will connect up all the counties and to provide for a north and south and east and west artery through every county as far as practicable, but to give each cpunty a certain amount of mileage and then later on connect up these fraction^. It is agreed by all that haphazard construction and indifferent engineering should be abandoned, and that whatever system is to be developed should be mapped out by a central board, preferably the State Highway Commission, and that then these links- can be connected up. To popularize the scheme a certain amount of permanent work will have to be done in every county, and where this is along a well developed plan, and a system that can be connected up, it might be practical. A8 to the Constitutional Convention The indications now are that the people will in 1920 be given an opportunity of voting whether or not they will want a constitutional cont vention held. The senate, which has heretofore been a stumbling block, has voted in favor of submitting the Question to the people. The resolution in favor of submitting the issue to the people has been passed by the senate and is now under consideration on the house side, where it has heretofore always prevailed. Liquor! It almost sounds like a ghost reappearing in the legislative halls. Generally there are a score or more of measures undertaking to solve this problem. This year there has been no mention of "bone dry" or anything else along that line. One little bill has been presented undertaking to change the quart-a-month law to one gallon a month, but with national prohibition fast approaching the legislators evidently think there are too many other axes to grind to* even consider liquor as a real question. There has been, however, presented a double-barrel measure which undertakes to prevent the sale of tonics and other concoctions on which real drunks can be had. AUGUST KOHN. One Use for Pajamas. The narrow skirt?which you will have to accept, whether you take the short French or the long American version of it?pleads for the use of the bifurcated under garment. Hence the present vogue for the elaborate chiffon or georgette bloomers made to wear with dance frocks and other evening attire. 4 And, by the way, the pajamas of chiffon and lace, and other fabrics so dainty and delicate that they would really be but poorly suited as a substitute for the "robe de unit," are not mirequenuy usea as a combination under garment to be worn with the rather elaborate house gown, or robe "chezelle," that has of late been adopted as a substitute for the evening gown when one dines or passes the evening at home with intimates. Parmer and Indian Die. Lumberton, N. C., Jan. 28.?A pistol duel between John Culbreth, a prominent white farmer, and Dallas Swampson, an Indian, late today, resulted in the death of both, each falling mortally wounded at the hands of the other, according to the verdict of the coroner. According to eye witnesses, a dispute arose between the two over som^ cotton seed and the Indian began firing, whereupon Culbreth fired upon his assailant, killing him, but not before he had received a wound from which he died within a short time. Culbreth is survived by his wife and four children. I THE SUCCESSFDI t uses the commercial bank extensively. Business could not exist without it.
