bill which carried unanimously in
the House containing the same re-
ports, be substituted. Mr.. Mclean
said the board of agriculture should
not appropriate their funds to the Agri.
cultural & Mechanical College: that
these amounts should not come from
the pockets Of the farmers alone. He
hoped Scales motion would be voted
down. Scales said the bill carried
with it an appropriation Of $4,000 and
it should go before the proper commit
tee. He said investigation never hurts
good bill and If it was proper one
1t would not be hurt and few days
delay would work no injury. He ask
ed what was the use Of such commit.
tee If it were not referred to the prop
er committee. Mclean asked II the
substitute from the House would not
be considered by the appropriation
committee If it were re-referred. Scales
replied that this would be done. Nc

by his consent the substitute from the
House was referred to the committee

The Lacy Resolution.
The House resolution on the Lacy
bill, the special order for yesterday
was taken up. Mr.. Foushee said he
earnestly hoped the resolution would
pass. He was absent when the Dill
was originally voted upon and had
he been here he would have raised his
voice against it. 1t was most dan
gerous act. Worth lost $4,000 by the
same man Martin, in old age, had been
Treasurer for two terms, and finding
he had lost $4,000 by another's dis
honesty he had to go into bankruptcy.
The bill does not give Worth one cent
but Lacy $500. who is in the same con-
dition. no better than Worth. We
should not give Mr.. Lacy $500. Il have
spoken to one Of the most prominent
Democrats in the State and with but
one exception they have all said the
action Of the Senate and House was a
most dangerous one" Boddie moved
to table the bill. Ayes and noes were
called for, 10 Senators voted to table
the bill and II voted in the negative
and the bill was tabled. On motion OF
Senator Zollicoffer, the Senate was ad-
journed until u O'Clock tomorrow.
ANTI-JUG LAW.
The McNinch bill enacting law the
place Of delivery Of liquors the place Of
sale in prohibition territory. He stated
he voted for the repeal OF the sneak
law CT two years ago, and he called up
on those of the House who acted in
good faith to allow this bill to pass
its second reading. He was willing for
those living in counties bordering on
the Virginia line who desired to do SO
to have their counties exempted be-
fore the bill came up on its third read
ing. In reply to a question Mr.. Nc
Ninch said that the anti-jug law was
vet in force, the Senate not having
repealed 1t. He said he had copied the
exact language Of the present law.
He declared that there was possibil-
ity that the Senate would so delay the
repeal OF the anti-jug law as to make
the enactment Of the present bill Inn
possible. On the other hand II the bill
was allowed to pass the House with
those counties deserving exemption
placed there, no harm would be done
them, while the prohibition counties
would obtain relief. Murphy opposed
immediate action, saying it was ridicu-
lous to vote on this bill before the Sen
ate had acted on the ether. Should the
Senate fail to repeal the present law
it would remain in force as now. He
moved to postpone further considera-
ton until the Senate had acted on the
repeal bill. II the present law was re-
pealed he would vote for the McNinch
bill after his county and such other
counties as desired it had been exempt
ed. McNinch and burlington spoke
against postponemert, while Woodward
OF Wilson, Warren, Mitchell, Murphy OF
Buncombe, Wood and Winborne favor
ed 1t. McNinch before the motion for
postponement reached the vote agreed
that the bill should be made special
order for Thursday. 1t was ordered
printed.
