SALARY INCREASE CONSTI Attorney General's Office Thinks Governor in No Danger of Losing Salary If former Senator C.

O. McMichael, wants to get the Supreme Court's 1 ruling on the constitutionality of the act increasing the salary of the Governor by $1,500 in the first ten days of the present session of the General bly, he will have to do his own enjoining. That is the opinion of the State Auditor, W. P. Wood, whom Mr.

Michael has urged to refuse issuance of voucher for the increase. He iN supported by the Attorney General's department, which sees nothing unconstitutional in the act and which also sees no reason why the auditor should not draw the voucher. After receiving the letter of Senator McMichael, asking that he take responsibility for declining the Governor's voucher for increased salary, thus throwing the burden of bringing an action on the Governor, Col. W. P.

Wood referred the matter, as suggsted by Senator Me Michael, to the Attorney General.

eise of all the mental faculties of one John Johnson in explaining to Police Justice Harris yesterday morning, why he had such an unusual for a peaceful citizen. Washington, being the nearest wet town into which the Seaboard Air Line operates passenger trains, was selected by Johnson as most familiar ground for him to lay the purchase of the ture bar that was in evidence in Court. He could not easily qualify as a guide in the Capital City, but the fact that he knew there was such a city, abetted by his knowledge of the Seaboard's territory---by reason of his job 88 fireman for that road, probably accounted for his selection of the National Capital as a logical center to use for a base of operations, especially in court. It was evident from his demeanor on the witness stand that he was new meat in a temple of justice, and his guarded explanations the possession of the liquor, augmented by the written dentials from his employers, caused Justice Harris to suspend a six months sentence in passing judgment. J.

D. Horton paid $10 and the costs for driving down Wilmington street at a rate estimated by traffic officers as being between 35 and 40 miles an hour. Blanche McCade, an alleged vagrant residing in East Raleigh, was given a sentence of 30 days in the Wake county jail, from which judgment she entered appeal to the Superior Court. Her bond was fixed at $100. Fifteen other similar cases against the following women were continued until next week: Jones, Ethel Howard, Juanite Cotten, Nancy Cotten, Marjorie Rhodes, Sylvia Horton, Pattsie Hinton, Pauline Kelly, Agues Johnson, Ruth Daniels, Hattie Scott, Annie Bigelow, Thelma Strong, Mamie Edwards and Minnie Johnson.

ANALYSES WILL BE MADE EARLIER Complaint has been made to the Department of Agriculture by many farmerg because they do not receive analysis of fertilizers in time to be of service to them before crops are planted.

Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture, that inspectors will begin work in the near future, and an earlier analysis is promised this The farmers are requested to arrange for the samples they desire to have taken in ordet to facilitate this work. It is intended to publish on the first of each month all analysis made the previous month.

MUNICIPAY CHARTER BILL UP MONDAY The joint committees from the lina Municipal Association and from the State Bar Association by Monday will have completed a final draft of the proposed legislation these organizations de: affecting municipal charters and finances. The bills, which were discussed at the recent convention of the Municipal Association, and afterwards revised by the two committees from the Municipal Association and the committee the State Bar Association, will probably be introduced in the Legislature early this week.

And there were all the poor or and helpless, and nobody fighting for them.

So what was 1 to dot" She saw there was something to be done, and the most natural thing for her to pitch in and do it. She labored lustily for child, labor bills, charity work and prison laws. But first she went to St. Louis herself and studied the factory life and the factory inspection there. Then she went to Chicago, and, like Thomas Mott Osborne, lived among those whom she would Inter give her.

services to uplift and save. On ing her investigntions in St. Louis and Chicago, she went back to Oklahoma and went on the stump. She talked all over the State; she talked in halls and on soap boxes. She made forty-four speeches inside of three weeks.

Later, Judge Lindsey drafted a jnvenile court law for the new State at "Oklahoma Kate's" request. A. J. McKelway went to Oklahoma to help Kate Barnard on. the labor bill.

The Russell Foundation sent Samuel Borrows Sage, Oklahoma to help her draw up the right sort of prison laws. Into Inhoma's statehood went compulsory education, prison laws, the prohibition of child labor the thing that Kate Barnard put there. On the ocension of Kate Barnard's first visit to New York City, the New York Times carried a lengthy interview with this "girl from the West," saying in part: "A haired, bright -eyed little slip of a woman from the West came to New York the other day and immediately became the talk of the town. And it might be added that she came without a press agent. If Kate Barnard had brought one her or sent him in advance- would have been out of her line -he would have been a useless appendage in the Metropolis, for the newspapers, as well 18 hundreds of persons than willing to give her all interested in uplift work, were the more publicity that could be expected.

They had already heard about 'Miss AN called by thousands of poor chilshe is dren, underpaid working girls, convicted criminals, and other beneficiaries of her work in Oklahoma, and were ious to find out more and then to pass the interesting story on to those who had not heard." It has apparently never occurred to Kate Barnard that, for her own sake, people and eities might "want to get acquainted with her. She sees work nothing is at all extraordinary in the fact that she is doing the most powerful person in Oklahoma and a force to be feared in Kansas and Arizona and States besides. She is a'ive other, enthusiasm and she afraid either of showing her feelnot ings or of confessing, that she has about her work. "prayed a Kate" wants to put humanthe level of importance with fiity on nance law, and she's doing it by simple and sure economic methods. Afternoon Session, January 21.

"When fertilizer manufacturers will pay $60 a ton freight on potash, in addition to its original cost, from Japan to this section, to be used in commercial fertilizer, whereas the freight from Germany, the natural source of supply in ordinary times, is only $2 per ton, it is easy to appreciate how very anxious they are to supply the trade with this element of plant food, and will give an iden of the increasing which has entered into the price of coati fertilizer materials to be used for making commercial fertilizer this spring." is 8 statement made by Lee Ashcraft, of the Asheraft- Company, of Atanta, leading fertilizer material brokers of the Southeast. The high price received for cotton, corn and other agricultural products in the South during the fall of 1910 has greatly stimulated the demand for commercial fertilizer, 80 necessary for the growth of all crops, until the demand is far ahead of the supply, and fertilizer brokers are scouring the face of the earth in order to supply materials with which to fertilize the crops to be planted. According to Mr.

Asheraft, no potash has left Germany for this country since January, years ago. The effort, to on the produce Pacific potash const, from has kelp, proven a sea disappointment, because the amount a produced has not nearly supplied the demand. The same is true of other American sources. With the high cost of corn and other cattie feed, states Mr. Asheraft, the prices of beeves, hogs, sheep and other animals have risen rapidly, as result the price of packing house products, one of the chief sources of ammonia, have increased from seed, from the meal of which much ammonia is s6- cured, has increased from $20 to $60 per ton.

The South is feeling the embargo of the British government, which has prevented the shipment of sulphate of ammonia into the country, and, due to the great demand for ships, the freight on nitrate of soda from Chile to the South, which is ordinarily from $4 to $5 per ton, has increased to from $25 to $36 per ton. Mr. Asheraft points out that the munition factories are large buyers of sulphurie acid, which ordinarily would go into the manufacture of acid phosphate, and which has made acid phosphate scarce. All the fertilizer manufacturers complain of the scarcity of labor, and the high prices which are being paid for all labor which can be secured, to turn out the fertilizer 80 greatly in demand. "The law of supply and demand has struck the fertilizer manufacturers like it has everything else, and it does not now seem that the supply of materials which the fertilizer manufacturers bought in the fall, with which to supply the spring demand, will be enough to FORD REPAIR SHOP H.
