The Senate passed the Warren bill dividing the slate Into two Judicial circuits with 24 judges and 20 Judicial dlrctricts and rotation that will leave two judges always available for hold ing emergency terms under the direc tion of the Governor. Senator Scales sought to amend by reducing the judges to 22. but Senator Gray told of the terribly congested condition of districts and the amendment was withdrawn. The bill was sent to the House, having passed without oppo sition as a most happy solution of the complicated and congested condl Hon of courts and circuits. The following bills and resolutions passed: Appoint a msmfr of the board of education for Henderson county; Joint resolution for legisla live Investigation of the conditions and management at the state farm; pay Mrs Mary A. Jows. of Washing ton county, the pension that was due to her husband, now deceased; au thorise Robeson county romrolslpn era to pay the expenses of Confeder ate veterans In attending reunions; provide for a definite establishment of line between Gaston and Cleveland counties.

The outcome was that the committee voted 7 to 11 for an un favorable report of the bill, which must now go to the floor of the House under a minority favorable report. There were nine members of the com mittee absent. For the hearing J. A. Brown, ot Chadbourn, as chairman of the Anti-Saloon League legislative committee was In charge and the dis cussion wag. opened by Dr. W. L. Po test. of Wake Forest College.

There wus offered by Cox, of Currltck. a joint resolution for a special con ference on the state fisheries law Also, a Joint resolution- by Represen tative Pharr relative to the North Carolina National Guard. The House Committee on constitu tional amendments voted to report favorably, the Joint resolution by Stubbs. of Martin, for the people of the state to vote at the next gen eral election of the question of hold Ing a constitutional convention, dele gates to be elected on the same basis as members of the House of Repre sentatives. The people are to vote "for convention" aud "against conven tion." voting at the same time for del egates, the latter elections to be of no effect If the vote for the convention falls. Speaker Murphy was one ot the most vigorous advocates of the reso lution. It was offered by Ray. ot Macon, Doughton. of Alleghany, and others. House bills passed final readings as ' follows: Amend the primary law in 1 Yadkin county: amend the Graham primary law; relief of Mrs. Dessie i Wright, of Scotland county; ineorpor ate Philadelphia church.

The bill was ad voeated by Representative Pegram and opposed by Representative Grle The joint committee on appropria; tion heard Miss Daisy Denson, and other Raleigh ladies, on the necessity for passing the Scales bill for estab lishment of a state home and indus trial school for girls and women, the bill carrying $25,000 appropriation for plant and $10,000 for maintenance. Senator Jones opposed a feature of the bill that he claimed gives romml' ting uthorlties too great power. The joint committee on fisheries and numbers of representatives of fishing interests had a long session. j thrashing out the status of the fish in- j terests and getting together on a bill i to give remanded resief for the smal ler fishermen from the net taxes. Bills will be framed by contending in terests and introduced at once. The bill to put husband and wife on the same footing as to issues of morality in divorce suits, which was defeated by one vote, was reconsider ed, then passed final reading and, having already passed the Senate, was ordered enrolled for ratification. Rep- : resentative Brummett. when it had passed by a safe roll call vote, moved to reconsider the vote by which It ; had passed, but the motion was tabled. 1 This gave the measure a clincher for the session, so that its ratification can not be interfered with through silb sequent parliamentary moves. Senate bills passed final reading as follows: Authorize road bonds for | Rockford township, Surry county; amend law as to condemnation of lands for school sites in Durham county; require guide posts on public roads; put Transylvania county under general state prohibition law; allow Governor to appoint justices of the peace; appoint two highway commis sioners in Stanly county; provide bet ter protection for persons on public roads; protect Oakdale church. The Page bill to make interstate passes, that now have to be marked "Not good in North Carolina." opera tive in this' state, passed, when Mr. Page had explained its effect as not extending the "pass evil" at all. The House had a strenuous debate on the bill from the Senate that would amend the revlsal to raise the age of moral responsibility from 10 to 11 years and increase the age consent to 1$ years. It had passed the Senate, but was defeated in the House by a vote of 17 to 57. The House sided with Cleveland county in the contest with Gaston over possession of Kings Mountain and passed by a roll call vote of 85 to 9. a bill to confirm Cleveland's possession of this territory through the election two years ago that Gaston contends was fraudulent. ' The education bill was reintroduced into the lower house. The purpose In this was to get it in shape for dis cussion and save It from a parliament ary tangle. The House received from the Edu cation Committee unfavorable reports on all bills for change In the present policy of appointing county boards of education, this action being taken as favorable to "status quo" in this much discussed Issue. Notice of minority report, at least of the Page and the Oatee bills, was given consideration and the whole matter set tor special order a week hence j CHOWAN MOTOR COMPANY.
