I
session 1t is not fair to the Legisla-
ture They could have waited two years
until the country is in better condition
| favor taking $1,000 every year off the
Ianuual appropriation for this purpose
Senator Glgnn said the people of South
ICarolina were no weather than the PEG
ple of North Carolina, but had given
S250.GU0 for a normal college building
and gave an annual appropriation Of
So. eco
There were more than three times
as many girls at the normal college as
in 1898 the appropriation should be III
the same proportion. There were no
luxuries ut the normal college; no car
| pets and brass beds.
Senator Cooke: is this appropriation
| to buy beds"
Senator Glenn: mo sir. the Senator
| objected to water this morning and now
he is Directing to everything else l.
| for one. am willing to vote this little
pittance of $4,000 to make the women of
North Carolina what they should be-
Senator Justice said it was presumed
| that the institution was to do 'teat
deal for women. But he found that the
president and min professors were pad
| from 81 600 to S2,25O. Some of the Wo-
men teachers were paid as little as
$3.50. If 50 much was sought to be done
| for women why were NOT the women
paid as much as the men?
Senator Glenn said one of the women
teachers got $1,000 and three of them
81 600 year. 1t comes with lil-srare
to say that d judge should get S2,lao
year when a man who could build UP
4 ..,li
such school as the normal college
should not get S2,210.
Senator Mason wished TO vote intslli-
gently. He had heard the speeches but
had not gotten much information. 1T
not question as to whether we owe
the wcmen of North Carolina IA debt
of gratitude: we all love them; the
question and the only question is wheth-
er this school can be run for 500. 800.
When it comes to Il constant drain on
the States resources it is time to talk
sense
Senator Hicks said it was sought in
the morning to build bath house for
the boys and now it was sought to build
Il playhouse for the girls. \ report
had been fixed up and when legislator
sought to oppose it he could not speak
against it for the interruptions. There
were plenty of schools in North Caro-
lima. II gymnasium must he built let
it be built from the regular appropria-
ton and let the big salaries be cut
down.
Senator Brown said it was not fair
to say that salaries of teachers were
too high when other salaries had not
been reduced The Senator from Gran
willie calls it a playhouse; want to ask
g.. ,,lr,
to the same weather as Il man to get
exercise? Are you willing to subject
them to the highways in a city the size
of Greensboro? If necessary | will pay
the part of Columbus county in this
tax declared Senator Brown with en-
Iphasis.
Senator Lindsay said he had opposed
appropriations all along. He had OPP
posed paying the Wilson's $4,000 the
other night: but he was willing to vote
$1,000 for the benefit of the girls of
the State. The institution belonged to
the State and IT was pain business
proposition to support it.
The amendments was put and lost
on a division by Il vote Of u ayes to 26
noes.
