GOVERNOR AND LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
BOTH HOUSES TOOK A RECESS UNTIL TOMORROW

wilmington, then moved that the
House take a recess until o'clock this
afternoon. w. S. Meredith, DEM, also
of Wilmington, amended this by nam
ing IL a. m. tomorrow as the time Tor
reconvening. The Union Republicans
opposed the amendment, Floor Leader
Abbott declaring that 1--WE ought to
stay here until we do something" The
amendment, however prevailed at
noon, the Regular Republicans voting
with the Democrats. Both houses
therefore took a recess until tomorrow.
No Change Until After Tuesday.
It is the general belief here that there
will be no change in the deadlock on
organization until after the inaugura-
ton of Governor-elect Lea on next
Tuesday, at least. The Union Repub-
lioans say that they want to see what
the new Governor win do, particularly
in the matter of the appointment of a
Secretary of State, before they agree
to any change.

There seem to be a disposition
on the part of some people to try
to create sentiment against the
bill introduced by Jno. p. Sipes
for the relief of the over burden
ed school districts IN the State.
They try to make it appear that
every district must levy at least
ten mills. The bill does not mean
any thing of the kind and does not
say so. Where a district can pay
its salaries on a two mill tax-or a
one mill tax, with the aid of the
State appropriation as it is now,
the new bill does not apply. The
object of the bill is to preclude
the necessity of going beyond 10
mills instead of to 13 mills in or
der to get the appropriation; and
that where 10 mills do not reach,
then the State makes good all the
shortage. The Harrisburg Pa
triot says:
While the general effect of the
law passed two years ago, making
the minimum salary of school
teachers throughout the State
S35 per month, has been excel
lent, 1t appears that great hard
ship has been wrought In some
cases.
cit is said that there are cer-
tain districts IN the State where
the land is so unproductive and
so cheap that 13 mill rate is nee
essary to raise the school tax
alone. In these sections the peo-
pie are necessarily poor and mar
kets remote. The taxes they are
compelled to pay do lot come out
of any surplus, but are sklmped
from the actual necessaries of
life.
"To remedy these conditions,
Representative John p. Sipes, of
Fulton county. has introduced IN
the Legislature q bill fixing the
maximum of school tax aG ten
mills in the dollar and providing
that in districts where that rate
will not produce sufficient reve-
nue. to pay teachers $35 per month
the State snail make up the de-
ficiency.
"Thls seems to be reasonable
measure and is said to have the
support of prominent men deeply
interested IN the common schools
of the State. If such bill would
meet the constitutional provision
prohibiting the passage of local
or special laws, it would seem to
be proper measure to enact"

Profanity is one of the worst

than a vile tougued wretch who

language he puts out? In the first
place it is a disgrace to the user
himself md there is nothing in it
at all. Swearing does not help
ANYTHING, it only calls forth the
wrath of Gcd upon the soul of the
user and hurts him alone, no one
