by touching outburst OF nr:Ltory
Senator t.cholS secured unanimous
passage by the senate OF the hin cs-
thblishing 4 home for the fceble-inind-
cd at the state ;pilcpt!c Colony. This
denouement was most unexpected. rs
the Finance Committee. of which SEN
ator Echols Is chairman. had Just re-
ported the bill adversely.
Primary Bill Agreed To.
Both houses agreed to the confer
cnce report on tho primary bill. prac-
,ically adopting the Senate smend-
was probably better than nothing. No
body knows what is in IL.

Little Vow Rrmninn-
THIS cleans up all the business OF
public Importance. save only the re-
d!strictinSbill an dthc Moncure- Ruther
1oord game bill. Another effort viii
DO made in the House to-day to set the
latter measure up. and it's passage ia
still hoped for but Its fate Is very
doubtful
But for the excitement over redig-
ti!cting, II would be hardly possible 10
get a quorum in the House to-day. 1t
IS predicted that most OF the mem
hers will leave on afternoon trains.
During tho morning sessions u good
many more bills will be taken up and
passed. but they are Of minor import
Itrcc or purely local In their nature.
The Senate does not meet until noon.
