Passed,

Yesterdays session of the House VIII
be remembered as the day that the bill
to establish a training school for teach
ers in Western North Carolina passed
it's third reading.
1t was quite a warm fight but it wa
finally won by big majority, amid hand
clapping all over the floor.
The opposition to the bill was based
merely upon the ground that the State
was not able at this time to appropriate
any money to a new institution, when
it was pledged to give all the public
schools a four months term. Not a man
on the floor opposed the real objects Of
the bill
Mr. Newland, author of the bill made
a magnificent appeal for the people Of
his section Of the State, and he was
seconded warmly by Governor Doughton.
The bill provides that $4,000 a year be
appropriated for the maintenance of
training school for teachers from the
counties of Alexander, Allegheny, Cald-
well, Watauga, Wilkes and Yancey The
establishment is chartered in the nature
of a private corporation, and two we'll
huUWu Clllh6uS OI edCu County GOuC6Iucu
are named as trustees.
The fish and -four bill, requiring all
packages OF fish, flour, meal, salt and
other foodstuff to be marked by print or
stencil with the exact contents, and
weight and name of shipper, ETC., was
finally referred to a special committee
of seven, consisting of Judge Graham,
Governor Doughton and Messrs. Moore,
Smith, Grant, Blount and Phillips. Mr..
Moore was the author fthe bill.
There was lively argument and
perfect storm of amendments before the
bill was so referred.
Some public measures passed were the
bill to regulate milling in transit rates,
to pay wages of deceased employees TO
widows and next of kin, to make fees
of corporations uniform before the Leg
islature to secure the proper supervision
