Mr. JARVIS advocated the adoption of
the minority report. The section should be
stricken out, as it gave the voters OF the
counties the right to vote for more than
.four months of school annually land impose
onerous takes upon the property for the
purpose. vu. x, ssnsi3..JpJ Ia y qas
y Mr. MOORE, of Chowan, said the argument
was that the tax payersImust be, protected
against the voters. The opponents to this
sectien might succeed now; but in another
Legislature the question would come up,
when some of them might not, occupy seats
here. The question of free suffrage had
been once decided; and the argument was
an argument against free suffrage and Tree
government. 6,fs.yl,.,
Mr.. JUSTICE, of Rutherford, advocated
the minority report. ls.r,..i,oe .-ti .,vi. 4,
MIR. ESTES said the conference committee
were agreed upon all but striking out sec
| tion 33. The Senate branch agreed to ac-
cept House amendments with that section in.
That section provided that the voters of any
county might decide whether they would
have a school more than four months annu
ally or not The only question before the
House was whether the people of each
county should be allowed to decide how
long term they, should have The Senate
refused to agree to this section being strick-
en- out The committee of conference was
appointed to arrange the difficulties between
the two houses The Legislature should not
say that New Hanover, or any other county
in the State should not have school more
than four months in the year whether they
wanted it or not In every large city there
were many vices, and the question was
then whether they should learn something
good at school or be taught in the schools
of vice. He called the previous question
The previous question was ordered; and
the minority report was adopted, as an
