APPROPRIATION RECOMMENDED.
Speaker Moore's bill to provide for
the Improvement of the Normal De
partment Of the CulloWhee High School,
and appropliating So 900 for the enlarge
ment and erection of buildings there.
was reported favorably by the Commit
tee.
Representative Jenkins. of Granville,
said no bill before the committee on
Education had met with such hearty
approval He went on i'm glowing words
TO speak of the great work the school
is doing in training teachers, and the
appropriateness of the first money in
aid of schools going 10 the Western
country, after that part of the State
had done such glorious work in the time
the State was i'm it's dark days.
Speaker Moore explained his meas
ure In 1895 the school was incorporat-
ed as a normal school and 81 800 was APP
propriated annually for it's support. In
1897 this was increased to So 600. Every
graduate has gone into the rural dis
tricts as a teacher. The school has now
reached point where the buildings are
too small There is not a county in the
Western part of the State where some
graduate of this school is not teach
ing.
Mr.. Whitaker of Forsyth. heartily
favored the bill, but feared the State
might not be able to make the whole
appropriation. on account of the num-
Der of such demands, and suggested
that the bill go to the committee with
a favorable recommendation from the
House, that ii it might be included WIKI
the other bills of this nature in the
omnibus bill.
Judge Connor explained that under
the rules governing the House that
would be the course the bill would take,
in any event If both houses passed it,
il would not be ratified but would go
to the Appropriations Committee.
Mr.. Whitaker then suggested that it
pass second reading, and that would
give the committee an indication Of the
wishes of the House.
Speaker Moore had no objection 10
this proposition, slld the bill WAS aC-
cordingly passed on the second reading.
Judge Connor then moved that it be
referred to the Committee sn Appro-
priations After a little more discus
sion. the bill was so referred by
unanimous consent
TO SAVE 81 600.
Mr.. Zachary, of Pennsylvania, intro
duced o resolution to save the expenses
incident to the separate introduction in
the House of bills for the appointment
of justices of the peace. He said he be-
lieved ii would save the State 81 200, and
! called attention to tho great number Of
| these bills introduced both in regard 10
! justices of the peace and the granting of

! The provisions of the resolution are as
follows:

mited to this House in due time, for its

| Mr.. Thompson said he was in sympathy
| with the resolution, but he thought that
matter rested with the chairmen of the
| different committees, who held back such
hilIs to he included in an omnibus bill.
