Mr.. A. B. Stronach of Wake introduces
Bill in the House to Make Mis-
representation Of Goods BY
Merchants a MiSdemean-

or.
The Senate yesterday held its short
est session, lasting less than three
quarters of an hour, and most of the
time of the House was consumed with
committees. But although it may be
said that the bills introduced were of
lesser Importance, and possibly fewer
in number it does not Indicate that
less work was accomplished, for the
better part Of the afternoon was taken
lup with various committee meetings,
and it has been said that committee
work is the heart of legislation.
Most of the new bills introduced in
both branches of the Legislature yes
terday were local, and but few were of
unusual interest.
The most important bill which had
its first reading in the Senate was that
iOf Mr. Eller, of Forsyth which pro-
Ivides for the amendment Of the charter
OF the town of Salem. The present
charter of that town limits the bond
tissue to 100000, and Mr.. Eller's bill
proposes to allow the city to borrow 10
per cent OF its assessed real and per-
sonal property value.
