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 bill
was originally voted upon and had
he been here he would have raised his
voice against it. 1t was a 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
d!t!on, 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

ANTI-JUG LAW.
The MpNipch hill on 10 10
place of delivery OF liquors the place OF
sale in prohibition territory. He stated
he voted for the repeal OF the sneak
law OF two years ago and he called up
on those of the House who acted in
Sood 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 Gnti-jug law was
yet in force. the Senate not having
repealed it. He said he had copied the
exact Language OF the present law
He declared that there was Il possibil-
ity that the Senate would so delay the
repeal of the anu-jus law as to make
the enactment of the present bill i'm
possible. On the other hand if the bill
was allowed to pass the House with
these counties deserving exemption
placed there, no harm would he 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 other. 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. If the present law was re-
pealed he would vote for the McNirch
bill after his county and such other
counties as desired il had been exempt
