The bill providing for sixteen Superior
court judges in North Carolina emerged
from labarynth of motions and multi
tude o. amendments in the Senate yes
terday and is now engrafted upon the
statute books Of the State. There was
very little opposition to the bill itself
but several of the Senators were deter
mined that there should be no increased
expense for extra terms. that no judge
should receive pay for holding an extra
term C court until he had already held
forty weeks of court. Senators Brown,
Glenn and Aycock. especially wanted this
incorporated in the bill. but they agreed
to the passage of separate bill, intro
duced by Senator Smith, amending the
Code so rs to cover this point. The Ju-

ate until Senator Smiths bill passed all
its readings in both the Senate and

The Senate then took uD and passed the
bill for sixteen judges by vote OF rs to
10 on its final reading, four Democrats
voting against it. This bill consumed the
session of the Senate yesterday and lit
