On Wednesday the House and Sen
ate attended the Inauguration in a
body, and but little was done in the
way of legislation.
In the Senate Thursday number of
bills we're introduced. The following
passed second and third reading:
Joint resolution. that 100 sheets of
the Revised Statutes be distributed to
persons in the State who will exam
inc it carefully and make such rec
concentrations as may be admirable
to the codifcation committee, there
being large number of matters need
ing careful scrutiny, which would be
difficult to give in this Legislature.
The work will be 1aborious, exacting
and far-reaching. No harm can come
Of it and great deal Of good NAV re-
suit. The second and third readings
| carried unanimously.
| That the committee on rules make
| inquiry the number of and pay of the
door-keepers, pages and the other en-
| ployes in the Senate, and the number
| actually needed to do the work.
To regulate the pay of jurors in Cra-
ven county. That those jurors not
chosen to aerve, as in cases Of special
| venires, be paid $1.0O per day, this
not to apply to Craven county. The
bill passed second and third readings
and was sent to the House without
| engrossment.
| To abolish Nuese river in township
3, Craven county, as a lawful fence.
The bill, upon objection of Mr.. Scales,
| was referred to the committee on
counties, cities and towns.

OF private and local bills. The most
important measure proposed so far
is Cunningham's child labor BILL the
