LEGISLATIVEPROCEEDINGS
Great Number of Bills
Pured in Urging the En
actment of the Bill For
the Prevention of the
Shipment of Liquor into
the State The Suffrage
Meeting
Monday great numbers of
petitions urging the enact
ment of the State Anti-Saloon
League bill for the pre-
Yention of delivery of liquor
for beverage in this State
toured into both branches
I ine legislature, me iium
her far exceeding the rec
ord of any previous day.
Large numbers of local
bills were introduced in both
houses and in the house fifty
or more mirely local bills
passed early in the day.
The senate launched into
a long discussion of a bill
that has already passed the
house to divide the State in
to two judicial districts.
Senator Gardner opened the
discussion with a vigorous
argument for it, saying
judges are a unit for for it,
except one. who lives in the
center of the State and is
indifferent. He insisted the
bill was constitutional and
North Carolina and South
Carolina are the only States
that retain the obsolete re
quirement that judges ride
the entire State in rotation.
He pleaded for comfort and
J it. 1
convenience oi uie juugea.
Senator "Weaver, of Bun
combe. otDOsed the bill in
sistinff the change would, be
m violation of the State
constitution," article 4
He was followed by Sena
tors McMichael and McNi-
der, both in opposition
The house shied at the sen
ate bill for arbitral courts
and after several counties
had demanded exemption
and Representative Mason
had said the bill was of such
importance it should be thor
mirhlv discussed, it was
passed over to another day.
The joint committee
elections and constitutional
amendments, which heard
equal suffragists Tuesday
without a voice to taTk back
at them, reported the ' bul
to submit the. suffrage issue
to referendum .Tmfarawj
and a minerity .wifl
"carry itJuf-war to eneaijrs
wvitrvths floora-of the
'leases.' Jr'
, The senate voted four to
, three and the house six to
three against the suffrage
amendment. Since the prop
osition was simply a sub
mission of that issue and
may have carried a vote or
two- not entirely sympathet
ic with the "cause" the out
look for early victory isn't
rosy. The suffragists are
undismayed, however. They
will educate first and co-operate
next.
Before a crowd that had
no half -sized chance to hear
what she said, Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, the most not
ed of woman uff rage orators
spoke to a joint committee
of the house and senate
Tuesday afternoon.
The bill under considera
tion was the suffrage amend
ment which went last week
into the house by introduc
tion of Representative Rob
erts, of Buncombe, and into
the senate by Senator Hob-
g99i, of Guilford. No such

The crowd that heard Mrs.
Shaw was larger than that
which struggled doubtfully
for opportunity to listen .to
Bryan.
The little woman whose
work has made internation
ally famous spoke in voice
whose charm has rarely
been heard here. She speaks;
without effort greater than
a clerk who reads the long
but simple annals of the bi
ennial sessions. A humor
that harbors no grouch
against a half of the world
that has drawn the line and
left her out, breaks out into
every argument which,
somehow is stronger logic
than men think women have.
The committee would not
trust itsef to immediate ac
tion, hard as members tried
to get a vote while the spell
lasted. It looked like a fa
vorable count when the
speaking was over. Of
course, noooay expects tne
bill to go far.
Mrs. Archibad Henderson
president of the state suff
rage league, made the open-
ing address, Senator McRae
presiding.

SOCIAL SERVICE CGFEREECE
HELD AT RALEIGH I AST WEEK
A ;ret SICCESS A. w.
MCA LISTER THE NEW PRESI
DENT Eradication of illiteracy in North
Carolina was discussed r.t thi meet
ing Friday night of the North Caro
lina Conloirce for Social Service.
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, president
of the Illiteracy Commission of Ken
tucky and founder of tho "Moonlight
schools," Dr. J. Y. Joynrr, State su
perintendent of schools, North Caroli
na, and a number of other educators
delivered addresses.
Mr. Joyner announced that plans
were being made for State-wide cam
paign against adult illiteracy. He
stated that the "Moo.nUght school'
plan would be adopted and night
schools started in all rural sections.
Thomas Mott Osborne, warden of
Sing Sing prison, New York, was on
the program, but owing to illness was
unable to attend. His place was
filled bt Donald Lowrey, of New York,
who urged numerous prison reforms,
including the abolishment of the death
penalty and wages for convicts.
H told of the system of prison re
form worked out at Sing Sing under
the -direction of Mr. Osborne. He
trwfted especially as most desirabki
the inderminate sentence, and the
parole and probation system. He said
that Sing Sitfg was developing with
gratifying success a system of pris
vn court in which a committee of five
convicts pass on the offer.se9 of fellow
prisoners m connection witn the ad
ministration of the prison disciplne,
fi He pleaded for priBCRora to lie -allcwed
during the prison life the exercise
of cheice of right and wrong and be
given every encouragement to right
living and proper dcveloumont of
character. He pointed to the fact
that over 50 per cent of those sen-
tenctd to terms in prisons returns to
the prisons later in life, showing that
their treatment so far as effort for
character building is concerned has
been a failure. If hospitals had such
a Tecord for treatment of diseases
they would be terribly criticised ana
condemned, and yet the people do not
sei-m to realize that such a prison
system is a failure.
'There were interesting addresses on
the crusade against tuberculosis by
Dr. McBrayer. of the State baniton
um for Tuberculosis: President D. H
Hill, of the A. & M. College, on "Com
munity Leagues as Agencies of Prog
Tess " and on "Child Labor," by Pa

duly to his fellow men, he declarei'
h'-fore he can perforin any work t
t':e best advantage.
Dealing with the child labor ones
t 'on Secr:tarv Bryan dec'aied that no
Stute, individual or community has
right to denv a child the chance i
plav and study. He d-c!arel that
persons who denied the child this
right should be made subject to dras
tic punishment.
The world has taken a long ster
forward, he asserted, in an address
that he delivered at noon before
ioint session of the general assembly
held in the hall of the house. He
discussed peace treaties as the best
means of stamping out wars and ar
crued that as the peace treaty idea
spreads the chances of war will di
rhinish.
Secretary Bryan came out strong
for woman suffrage, as he has hith'
erto done, affording delight to a large
number of pcroi;s, fun. ales opv-tit..-
