VERY HOT SKIRMISH ON EVOLUTION SEEMS AL HAND The political wiseacres, and tlie j boys whose job it is to comb tho state for hews alyl views, Report that the coming general assembly of the more or Jess turbulent state of. North Carolina, when it convenes in ^ January, is mighty apt to come up against a bill concerning evolution, and some lively times may be ahead., At any rate, it is attracting a deal of attention, and the legislators,be muse they wont have anything im |K)rtant to do during their sixty day's term in lvaleigh or for some other reason,, will probably indulge in much talk concerning the matter of teach ing evolution in the schools of the state. For instance, the Raleigh bureau of the Ashveille Times reports this: Rcluctant as they arc to admit it, the question of evolution is likely to ? be injected again into the proceed ings of the legislature, the political wise here are beginning to agree al though none of them think the ques tion will get far or remaii^ long. But the action of the so called "com mittee of one hundred" in Char lotte Thursday to retain a "capable Christian laywer" to examine the legal aspects of any legislation look ing to forbidding the teaching of evolution in any state educational institution has at least, caused many who have heretofore continued to ig nore the evolution issue to sit up and take notice. . . - A number of significant features of the Charlotte irtCeting are being j win ted out. One that the name has been changed from "the committee of one hundred" to the "Notrh Carolina Bible League." The reason given; for this, jaccording to ttyoso known to be in close touch with the situation is because the "committee of one hundred" has dwindled to a mere handful of rabid anti-evolution ists that the committc designation of "one hundred" had become paradox ical. V Still further significance is at tached to the fact that Dr. A. 1?. Shaw, of Charlotte, the temporary chairman of the committee has been sueccded by Z. V. Turlington of Mooresville and member of the legis latnre from Iredell coun,ty as por milliont chairman. This move is goii-1 orally interpreted as moving the North Carolina Bible League outside the classification,' of a religious or moral oiganization and brandinjg it definitely as a political institution) whose chief business will be lobbying in favor of anti-evolution legislation. This interpretation is given even fur ther weight through the selection^ of Miss Julia Alexander of Charlotte and former member of the Legisla ture from Mecklenburg county,1 as secretary of the league. However, in support of the conten tion that there will be no great stampede either in the Senate or the House to the anti-evolutionists ban ner it is pointed out that outside of C. M. Pool of the house, author from McDowell county and author of the evolution bill presented in the last Legislature, Turlington is not likely to have any great support, al though J. F. Kintz newly elected Re publican member of the house from Catawba county is reported to have leanings in the fundamentalist direc tion. Hence it is the general opinion hcrp that although every effort vyil 1 be made by the anti-evolutionists to inject into the Legislature that there is little probability of its getting very far unless a large number of the* members experience a decided change of heart between now and January 5th. y "MISS SOMEBODY ELSE" f * / i ?'
