A WAVE OF TEMPERANCE.
Movement Now On In the State
is in
the Raney Library Hall-BiIls
FavorinE Division of Taxes in
Proportion to Amount Paid.
Messenger Bureau,
Raleigh, n. c., January 20.

Raleigh, n. c., January 90.
The state superintendent of public
instruction informs two of the counties
of the 45 which have so far this year
applied for aid to keep their public
schools open four months in the year.
that they can get no aid from the state
until they turn over the proper pro-
portion, that is three-fourths, of the
state and county poll taxes to the pub
lie schools. One couny has not reach
ed the constitutional limitation of tax
alton. 1t is Davie, a republican coun-
ty, and it's commissioners decline to
levy the tax to the limit. AS a result
that county can get no aid.
Their are two bills before the legis-
lature to give the taxes paid by whites
to white schools and those by negroes
to negro schools. The first of these is
by Representative King of Pitt. 1t is
simple, merely amending the part of
the constitution which says there shall
be no discrimination between the races
in schools. so as to allow discrimina-
ton. The other bill is by Representa-
tive Stubs of Martin. Roth provid.
for submission of a constitutional
amendment.
At 10 O'Clock this morning there was
a mass-meeting of the frlerI:s of the
london liquor regulation bill, held i'll
the Raney Library. All denomina-
tons and all parts of the state are
represented. Senator Woodland has in
what he terms a compromise
liquor bill. taking a place between the
London bill, which the anti-liquor
league favors, and the Watts bill.
which it does not favor. There is all
sorts of talk about these bills. Some
democrats declare that they will in
jure the party; others nat they will
give it new life. There is certainly a
powerful wave of temperance in the
state. This is easy to see. Never be-
fore was so much influence and pres
sure brought to bear in aid of temper
ance legislation. EX-Mayor Mccall, oil
Charlotte. declared TO the legislature
that 80 per cent. of the crime there
was directly traceable to liquor.
There was arguments today before
the senate judiciary committee on a
bill which was "sneaked' through the
last legislature. as a private and local
act, to prevent the telling of timber
in Pa1nlico river, but which further
along forbids non residents from buy
ing and holding over 800 acres of tim
Der land. The ODDS are the bill will be
repealed.
The memorial address here on May
10th will be on the Prison Life of the
Confederate Soldier"
Mrs. E. F. Dixon, wife of h state
auditor, is quite sick at her home here.
The act that the public bills, the
journals and the calendar of the legis-
lature can be printed daily for 1000
a session will be laid before the legisla-
ture committee On printing. The cost
of enrolling and engrossing is over
now $685..

NOMINATED.

Raleigh announce, Hon. Lee s. Over
man has won the senatorial prize. 1t
was a hard fight, though waged with
Iy attendant upon such contests. Mr..
Overman was nominated on the sixty
first ballot. The first caucus of the
democratic legislators was held on the
9th instant, when three ballots were
AIKEN. From that time to the present
the battle has waged. Mr.. Overman

declines to confirm a presidential ap-
senate will by formal declaration reiect
a nomination made by a president of
the same political party as the MAORI
ity of that body. 1t may be that Pres
ident Roosevelt will not withdraw the
nomination upon an adverse report by
the committee. but may attempt TO
his action from that of former presi-
dents under similar circumstances.
Even should he attempt to do this the
senate could let the matter go by de-
default and take no action. In this
case the president could reappo Mt
Crum as soon as congress adjourned
ment-Were he to do this Crum would
be Immediately indicted into office
temporarily and the president would
have to send in his name at the next
session of the senate. This procedure
could be kept up Indefinitely until the
senate either confirmed or rejected the
appointment.
Many of our readers will recall the
case of Mr.. Ewart. of his state. during
President McKinley's administration.
He was appointed several times. during
the sessions Of the senate and during
recess. to the judgeship of the Western
district. Senator Butler fought the
nomination and succeeded in keeping
the senate from acting on it. until A.
nally the president had to give in and
appoint Judge Boyd If the senate
fails to act on the rum appointment
before March 4th we may ook for his
reappointment a very few days after
the expiration of this session Of con-
gress.

TO DEFEAT CRUMs CONFIRMATION

Washington City dispatches yester-
day announced that there was good rea-
son to believe that the nomination of
Crum as collector of the port OF Char
lesion would be defeated in the senate.
1t was said that two republican sena-
tors on the committee on commerce. to
which the nomination has been referr-
ed, would vote with the democrats for
an adverse report on the nomination.
These are Senators Perkins. of Califor-
mia; and Jones. of Nevada. While
these men AVE not pledged themselves
to vote with the democrats. the latter
are pretty sure OF getting their support.
Should the committee make an ad-
verse report the senate will most
likely give the president an opportunity
to withdraw the nomination. This is
generally the course pursued when an
administration majority in the senate

Senator Quay seems determined to
force the senate to a vote on the omni-
bus statehood bill. His offering the
pill as an amendment to two of the big
appropriation bills was a coup the OPP
position was o looking for. Should
the president of the senate decide the
amendments out of order the senate
would probably overrule his decision,
as it seems from two test votes already
taken that a majority of the senate
favors the bill, but the minority is able
to prevent a vote upon it. The senator
also gained the great advantage Of
having his amendments referred to a
committee of which he is chairman and
of which a majority favors the bill. 1t
looks as if the advocates of the admis-
sion Of the -four states begin to see
daylight.
