GOVERNOR APPOINTS THREE
MORE DEMOCRATS.
COMMITTEE 70 ASK FOR INFORMATION
Appointed to Call on the Governor. Con-
ttsl fiom the 18th District Postponed
to the Is Instant "A Busy
Oay in tie Senate.


The advantage of sending men to the
General Assembly who have something
to do ut home is heing made plain by
the amount Of business that is gotten
through with in day. The measures
arc discussed thoroughly in committee
and it is therefore unnecessary to in
,lnlge in lengthy. costly and tircsomc
debate on the floor.
Among the first bills to receive atten-
ton from the Senate are the bills in
tended to put the negro-ridden counties
of the East in the hands OF the whites.
Craven. Hartford. Jones, Edgecombe
and Washington are all being looked af-
ter and others will be in due time as
their members decide on what is needed.
The anxiety of Senators to give their
constituents relief at an early day is
giving the committees considerable
trouble. in that the bills limited in OPP
Grafton to one or two counties have to
be drawn as not to conflict with more
general measures which is intended shall
lie passed later. There is considerable
pressure from a number Of counties for
the Immediate passage of bills relating
to schools while The Committee on Ed
ucation is at work meantime, on Il public
school law with which these local bills
must fit in or to which they must yield.
For this reason it has been found neces
sary to limit many local bills to operate
for a few months only.
BY. the adoption of the committee re-
port Senator Franks was made secure
in his place as a member. of the Senate.
senator Jones offered the opening
prayer.
