anti-treating bill, first defeating a fay-
orable minority report by a close vote,
then defeating the unfayorable major
ity report. and placing the bill on the
calendar for Il special order Monday.
The Dodell uniform text book bill
a the next to get to h front and
called out a contest in which Dodwell
and Dudley were the principals. with
Goodner. Byrne, Robertson, Dillon and
Kruger taking part before the vote
was secured, in which the bill was de-
feated by a vote of % 10 20, failing
to secure II constitutional majority.
Dillon attempted To tie the bill down,
but failed to accomplish ii on roll
call.
Dillon secured the passage OF his
bill to repeal the law requiring the
governor to accept gifts and devises,
under which the North Carolina bonds
were accepted, cutting out any further
such donation to the state.
Among the new senate bills pre-
scented was the start of a herd law
bill to apply to the counties of Lyman
and Gregory, which was introduced
by Senator sweeney. In the house the
2-cent rate bill was killed by friends
in an effort to save it from indefinite
postponement, the killing being the
result OF failure to understand the
situation in a parliamentary way.
Carroll, the in%troducer of the bill,
moved TO table a motion to indefinite
ly postpone, which was carried on roll
call, taking the bill to the table. and
as soon as that had been accomplish
ed, Browne raised the point of order
that the bill was tabled and dead, and
was sustained by the speaker. The
conference report of the W. houses
on the primary election bill vas
adopted. and that bill will SoOn go to
the governor for signature. The sig
nature to make the capitol building
bill a law was attached this after
noon.
An effort was made in he house to
kill the bill placing the attorney gen.
eral at the head of the legal depart
ment for the railway commission and
giving the governor power to appoint
the inspector of scales. 1t was OPP
posed by Bratrud, Eastman and FoS-
ter, and was lost for lack OF a consti-
tutional majority. Gable saved it by
a motion to reconsider and make II a
special order for next Wednesday,
which carried after a contest,
No new bills were presented, and
one senate bill was passed. being the
general drainage law under the provi-
sions of the constitutional amendment
adopted last fall.

Fallecida q los IO7 amos

Catalina Gilligan, que naci6
en- Irlanda, ha fallecido en- New
York a la avanzada edad de
1o7 amos. De sus ocho hijos vi
ven seis asi como veinticuatro
nietos, veinticinco biznietos Y
dos tataranietos.
Como cada maestrillo tiene
su librillo y cada centenario su
teoria acerca de la longevidad
la fallecida atribuia su larga y
Y saludable vida, pues nunca
tomo medicinas, al consume
diario de cebollas como alimen-
to y a su prop6sito frme de
huir de toda preocupaclon. 10
prlmero es facil de probar; pero
10 segundo es mas question de
1emperamento que de voluntad,
que tiene sus limites, mientras
que el otro actda siempre.
