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

county, 20 miles north of Burlington,

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,

that his uncle. Judge James Hobson,

favorably the Senate bill increasing

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

Montgomery counties in the act punishing

The following bills passed the third
reading:
To amend the law or descent wnicn
allows all children of a mother to inherit
from their mother, whether legitimate
or illegitimate; (this law provides
stnply that illegitimate children

provided they get nothing that is left

Franklin; to provide for the holding

authorizes the Auditor to draw
his warrant on the State Treasurer
for the amounts set forward in the
resolution; the entire amount does
not exceed $500;) to fix the time for
selling real estate for taxes in Jackson
county; to relieve the board of agriculture
from contributing to the current
expenses of the Agricultural &
Mechanical College at Raleigh. 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

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
