There was applause when ii won.
The bill of Senator White amending the
law of 1901. relative to the distribution
of the second 800. 900 to the Public
Schools of the State was adopted with
by Senators White and Mann,

ner cent. the amounts reserved to build
school holuses.
THE APPROPRIATIONS.
The bill to provide for the appropria-
tions for the State institutions was next
taken up and amendments were offered
nv Senator Glenn, to increase the Nor
canton Hospital appropriation to SiS3.-
900 for the second year: by AARON to
that Of the Goldsboro Hospital
nv 81. 500 for cold storage plant, etc
Senator Henderson to give the S3,ooo
which was to go to the State Normal
if the Peabody Fund was Withdrawn,
without reservation to provide for dormi-
tory room, and Senator Beasley TO still
allow to the Deaf. Dumb and Blind the
SO. 900 given it for four years in 1901
for Improvements.
Senators Glenn and Aaron urged their
earnestly and said that to
grant them would be an act Of Justice.
Senator Baldwin, for the Committee on
Authorizations, urged ,1Iat the bill stand.
and that the work of the committee be
not set aside and a general scramble
take place. He regretted the COMPARE
sons made, but said that with a depleted
treasury he felt that all had been done
that was possible, liberal but not ex-
travagant. He spoke OF the trends OF
different institutions being on the floor
of the Senate, but urged that they thlnk
of the people who had to pay the fiddler.
He said if the doors were once opened
that others would ask for an increase.
and he served notice that an increase III
the appropriations, in view of the posi-
BILE revenue, meant another bond issue
two years hence.
Senator Glenn again urged the increase
for MOrgantOn and it's needs, saying that
he knew that the cost was necessarily
larger in Raleigh, but that the commit
tee had taken away from the amount
recommended by the Committee on In
sane for Morganton and had increased
the Raleigh amount. He said that Raj
eigh was limited to AGA patients and a
year hence Morganton would go to 1000.
senate Gillian, of the Appropriation
Committee, spoke of the troubles that
the committee had met with. He said
that at MorgantOn there were $50 pa
tients with $151.40 as a per capita ex-
pense. This makes $113 ,055, while the
committee gave 1925, 900 yearly. The
difficulties of the demand for permanent
improvements was spoken of and it was
felt that only the needs for maintenance
could be considered, and that only the
absolute needs be considered He eulo-
gized DR.. Murphy as one of the most
eminent physicians in the country, but
declared that the best had been done that
was possible. He had heard the demands
from all institutions, and not from one
class as had Senator Glenn. The de-
mands for the additional S., 900 should
rot be granted.
AS to distinction between Raleigh and
Morganton he said that at the latter
there was a large farm, while at Raj
eigh there was a very small one, and
that while attendance increases per
capita cost decreased, TINS explaining the
difference in the per capita cost, a mat
ter not to be remedied when it is I'M
derstood that the Raleigh Hospital has
to buy things raised on the farm at
Morganton. The amount had not been
increased for Raleigh above the past two
y 49, 49,
was lost by a vote of % to II.
Senator Henderson's amendment, MAX
ing the 5000 without reserve to the
State Normal was next taken up. Sen
ator Hoey said that this was simply a
change in verbiage in an amendment vir-
tually agreed to. 1t simply made posi-
Bile the use Of $1,000 for dormitory pur-
poses and no other additional appropria-
fiop would ho q cEp6 This was acoonta6
Senator Beasley's amendment which
provides hat the provisions by which
the $40, $50 given to the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind Institution for improvements be
cut off and changed was next discussed.
Senator Norris said that if 81, 900 for
cold storage and SO 5000 for dormitory
room could be given the State Normal
then it ought to do an act of charity for
the unfortunates in the Deaf, Dumb and
the Blind in Raleigh. He urged that the
$40, $50 be allowed to stand.
Senator Brown said that the Senator
from Wake seemed to be working on
sentiment. That the committee had real
ly increased the allowance. In regard to
the $40, $50 said to be cut off the institution
had borrowed and used it and now the
State pays it back. He thought Senator
Norris was not fair to the committee.
The amendment was lost.
The amendment of Senator Aaron
asked for an increase of 81, 500 for the
asylum at GoldSbOro. 1t was the last
CT the amendments and it was lost. The
bill passed its third reading as it came
from the committee with but the excep-
ton of the absolute allowance of So, 900
to the State Normal College in place of
the qualified allowance if the Peabody
fund was withdrawn.
The entire appropriations bill except
the change noted, was published in yes
terday's News and Observer among the
articles Under the Dome" and the regu-
lations concerning the conduct of officers
and directors having in charge the mon
ely were published in the Senate proceed
ingS yesterday.

Self was next taken up. On motion of
Senator Hoey, amended by Senator Lon
don, thrifty minute was given to each
A husband without a wife, a wife with
