The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1915-01-28

The Senate voted by big majority
against the joint resolution to limit
the present session of the Legislature
to 40 days. This was after two-hours'
discussion in which Gardner, Gillian
and others urged the adoption and
Senators Mill, Hobgood and others op-
posed it as vain and impossible
thing to accomplish. The action of
the Senate will probably cause the
House to not call up the resolution at
that end of the Capitol at all.
Pass Final Reading.
Bills passed final reading as fol-
lows: To correct boundaries in the
corporate limits of Albemarle and
permit the issde of bonds: to legalize
an election in Cherryville, CASTOR
county, on a bond issue; to, provide
for the printing of 1000 copies of the

Huose.
The Cumming bill for the division
of the state into an eastern and a
western circuit of superior courts in
stead of the long re-established pres
emit system of one circuit and state
wide rotation of the judges was car
ried in the house by an overwhelming
majority, after being strenuously op-
posed by numbers of the representa-
tives, including Currie of Cumberland,
Bynum of Chatham and others, as
tending to decrease the intermingling
of the people of the two sections and
the creation of something of Mason
and Dixon line in North Carolina. Oh
the other hand advocates of the meas.
ure agrued that the making of two,
circuits was no more than having two
religious conferences, dioceses or 9TH
err divisions for the better prosecution
of the work to be furthered.
The vital statistics bill, that stirred
such opposition as working terrible
hardship on remote sections through
preventing the burial of the dead I'M
til official reports had been made by
the physician of the death was amend
ec to avert interference with burials
and to merely penalize the physician
if the death is not reported within
10 days. 1t passed in this form.
The ever-present fish question stir
red the house for more than an hour
through the debate of the Meekins
bill to exempt Tyrell county from
the Jurisdiction of the fish commits
sioner. Representative clearinghouse
led the opposition and gave ginger to
the debate, and Speaker Wooten had
to call repeatedly for order and de.
abstinence from personal ties and
observance of the decencies of speech
in debate ON the, floor. Finally there
was postponement of the vote.
Representative Roberts introduced
the regular State Forestry Association
bill for protection of the forests oil
the state from fires through provisions

duce Federal cooperative work In

of the various institutional directo
