HOUSE.
There were two very important bills
on the calendar yesterday but neither
one was the occasion for much discus
SION.
One was the bill Incorporating the
North Carolina Farmers Protective As
ISOLATION. This passed second and third
readings with practically no discussion
and without any opposition whatever.
The other was the Audubon Socier.
bill for the preservation of our song and
game birds. Messrs. Britain and Ether
idge wanted to exempt their respective
counties of Randolph and Dare from the
provisions of the bill but they We're yotea
down by big majorities. Mr.. Britain also
objected to the provision of the bill
excmpting the game wardens from liza
bility to action for damages in the per-
formancc Of their duty.
The bill passed its second reading and
will come up for third reading today.
When the bill came up the House took
recess for twenty minutes and heard
Prof. I. Gilbert Pearson OF Greensboro,
who had drafted the bill and was the
moving spirit in the organization of the
Audubon Society Of North Carolina. Prof.
Pearson showed with great force ana
clearness the necessity CT doing some
thing to preserve our birds, the faih-
full allies of the farmers in destroying
harmful insects, and the scavengers of
the sea. He was listened to with great
attention and was wamly appleuded.
Mr.. Abel introduced a bill to prevent
tramping and stealing rides on trains.
l. .r;,.or opu n rCnt of n pc ilrnad nnfhnrItv
to arrest any one he sees stealing a rid
on a train and carry him before a mag
istrate without a warrant provided he
be taken before the magistrate ln21lc-
diateIy. Heretofore it has been the Gus
tom of railroad conductors to merely run
off any tramp they find stealing rides
thus turning them loose in the towns.
