One OF the most interesting fea-
lures of the Senate Tuesday was a
preamble and resolution by Senator
Barringer looking to the removal of
the State capital from Raleigh to
Greensboro.
Senators. as a rule, seemed to take
the proposition anything but serious
ly, and there were amendments from
Senators from various quarters of
the State to have their respective
towns designated as the seat of the
State government. Senator Dockery
wanted Rockingham; Means, Con-
cord; Fry. Asheville; Kluttz, Sails
bury; Bassett, Rocky Mount, and
there were others.
The following new bills were offer
ed:
Doughton: Amend the Revisal rc-
lating to weights and measures.
Blow: Provide special tax for
maintenance of four months school
in every school district in the State.
On motion of Senator Ormond the
vote by which the bill for the bet
terment of rural free delivery SER
vice had passed earlier in the day
was reconsidered.
The bill by Senator Kluttz to pro-
vide fire escapes and protect human
life came up as special order and
passed its final reading after a num-
Der of minor amendments.
The following bills were introduce
ed out of order:
Means: Prohibit the sale of liquors
in Cabarrus county except in medical
dispensary.
Long, of Person: Amend 47s9. Re-
visal, in regard to securities. deposit.
ed with the Insurance Commissioner.
In the House MI. Morton o. New
Hanover raised a sensation under tAs
personal privilege rule. A number
of bills consumed the day.
The House was in session three
hours Tuesday night, and after pass
ing a great number of roll-call bills
on second reading and on final read
ing, many important local and pri-
vate bills, adjourned to 10: 80 We'd
nesday morning.
