At 12:15 the Governor entered Hml war riven nn nvntfnii thf twn bodies rising in courtesy to the Chief Executive. Mr. Craig's message was listened to intently. Repeatedly he was enthusiastically applauded, especi ally when he alluded to the achieve ments of Democracy under Woodrow Wilson administration and when ha , poke of North Carolina's baby crop. I ency audu Predicted that under his lead The Governor delivered one of theershlP tl)e work of the House would greatest speeches of his career, and!be expedited and that he would re held his hearers rapt for 54 minutes. !flect fedit Partv elevating His message covered practically every :hm the Position of leader, phase of North Carolina's life.

The nominees selected were as fol He also favored the passage of a law lows: for the return of part of the earnings I President pro tem of the Senate, of state convicts to the dependent : families of the prisoners. Upon the conclusion of the Gover nor's message, the joint session ad journed. The senate retired. Th house recessed, after a resolution had been adopted appointing a committee to arrange plans for Thomas W. Bick ett's Inauguration as Governor. Rep resentatives Wilson, Doughton and Beasly were appointed to this commit tee. A Purchasing Board. The first steps looking to big gen eral legislation was taken in the sen ate when Senator Oates, of Fayette vllle, introduced a resolution, which was adopted, for the appointment of a joint committee of the house and sen ate to investigate the advisability of creating a central purchasing agency for the state institutions and the state departments, and the appointment of a committee to act with a similar com mittee from the house to consider the recommendations of the Governor in regard to the increase of salaries of state officers and employes, the latter action being taken on the resolution of Senator Scales, of Greensboro. Senator Brenizer of Mecklenburg, contributed to the legislative hopper chairman; Gough, Allen, Long of Ala one of the most significant and im- J mance. Tucker, Transou, Thompson, nnrtanf resolutions vet offered at this , jr - " session, involving the state's financial policy as to the amendment of its in stitutions. It would be supplemental to the Oates resolution for a special com mittee to investigate as to the advis ability of creating a central state pur chasing agent or board. Mr. Brenizer would have this com mittee to also investigate and report as to the advisability of "the creation and establishment of a special board 1 of appropriations to which all appli cations for appropriations by the in stitutions and departments of state shall be made ajid which shall make such recommendations in regard to such applications as it may deem proper. And also upon the advisability of the creation and establisment of a state board of control with powers to supervise all state institutions. If this committee decides to report fa vorably upon the advisability of such agency or board then it shall draw bills for such purpose and report them to this session." The Brenizer resolution passed all its readings in the senate without op position and was sent to the house. Pender Stock Law. On local bill to put Pender county immediately back into free range con dition stirred a tremendous hearing before the legislative committees and came in finally for unfavorable re port, which assures its defeat. It had already passed the House before a hundred or more citizens of Youth is Noticeable. Youth is a prominent characteristic in the house this time. No less than a dozen members of this branch have hardly passed their twenty-fifth mile stone. Noticeable among this number is Representative Swain, of Tyrrell, a Democrat who Just a twelve month ago attained his majority, but who played an Important part in a Democratic vic tory in a narmally Republican county, defeating J. C. Meeklns. member of the 1915 session, by 84 votes. Mr. Swain is an alumnus of ilia State Uni versity and practice law at Columbus. Pender raided the legislators witfc "save Pender" badges. The hearing consumed all the afternoon in a crowded Senate chamber. Senator Burnett, who earnestly favored the bill, pleaded in vain that his people by nearly two to one wanted to be rid of the stock law. The delegation, headed by C. E. McCullenn, insisted that the owners of 75 per cent of the property in the county wanted to re tain the stock law and that all were wholely unprepared to revert to free range now. In the end there was an executive session of the committee, Long of Alamance, chairman, and an unfavorable report. Lieutenant Governor-elect Gardner, who !a selecting the senate commit tees, has named James A. Gray, Jr., of Winston-Salem, as chairman of the finance committee and he is or ganizing for a careful administration of . the committee work, the most Im portant of the assembly.

At a meeting of the local company of artillery at was decided unanimously that they would not at- j tend the inauguration of Governor Bicett. This was before they knew I that none of the military companies were to attend. The local boys have . not gotten over the fact that they i were not paid for their time when they ere called to Wilmington some ' months ago. NORTH CAROLINA BRIEFS. Progressive citizens, of Catawba county, in view of the legislative ses sion, have begun discussion of a large bond issue for good roads and modern bridges throughout the county. As much as $400,000 and $500,000 i3 urged. The Charlotte Observer has moved into its new quarters on South Church street, Charlotte, following a disastrous fire a few weeks ago. At the Soldiers' Home in Raleigh, Dr. W. T. Paul, aged 69 years, took his own life by shooting himself through the heart. He had been in the home since March, coming from Pitt county. He served with Com pany E, Fifth Battalion of Reserves in the Civil War. That Burke is setting the pace in the reconstruction of the flooded dis trict is shown by the - fact that an other new steel bridge for the Cataw ba is at Morganton and the pillars have been ready to receive it for aome time. During 1916 there were 831 mar raige licenses issued in Mecklenburg county. The reports of the Morganton post office for the year shows an increase of $970 over last year, bringing the total up to $11,580 for 1916, making Morganton sure of city delivery as soon as the requirements of proper street numbering and receptacles are complied with. Oakboro is soon to have a new two story brick school building. Three new coast cutters, one to be stationed at Beaufort, N. C, one at De troit and the other at Honolulu, cost ing together $1,350,000, are proposed in a bill favorably reported to the sen ate by the commerce committee.

Greensboro's new $500,000 hotel will b named "The O. Henry." Durham's death rate decreased ap proximately 12,48 per 1000 during 1916. Cleveland county officials have ap propriated $400.00 to carry on the can ning club work in the countv DESIGNERS HAVE DONE WELL is uKff -ram Fiiis Pretty Things in Profusion Have Been Provided for the Debutante This Season Fashion's Edict Is That Bags Must Matsh the Millinery Three Examples of the Best. Party Frock for The feet of the. new adventurer in social pleasures trend n path made more or less rosy according to the suc cess of her party frocks. Tlie pretty maid in the accompanying picture Is suitably clothed, for her gown is just demure enough to suggest youth and just sparkling enougli to express joy, and in every particular it fulfills its mission. It goes without saying that the mission of this, as of all other gowns, Is first of all, to be becom ing. This frock is made of satin with an underskirt of net and lace and a bodice developed In the same mate rials. Silver threads gleam in the lace, and a narrow line of spangles edges the bottom of the overskirt ami point ed bodice. Narrow silver braid out lines gay little buskets and bowknots, which it joins by weaving lines all about the overskirt of satin, and this note of silver Is repeated In the slip pers. The underskirt of net Is finished with j Bags Must Match Millinery. In whatever direction your face be turned, whether to the skating fields or toward the land where the palms grow, or midway between, fashion de crees that you shall carry bags to match your millinery. And If you stay at home, not one but several bags will be required to see you through the everyday affairs of life In the ap proved way. There Is a bag for every thing, and bags within bags, and no telling Just what they all contalu. F.ach one has a reason for Its exist ence besides the all-Important one of complying with the mode. Three aspirants for the favor of discriminating women are shown in the picture. At the left a bag of vel vet and fur is part of a smart skating set, with a cap of the same materials and a short fur neckpiece. In this bag velvet is gathered on to a wide band of fur to form the top, and It Is drawn up by narrow satin ribbon which forms loops for carrying It. At the left a bag made of plush is shaped so that the handle slips over the wrist. The opening Is closed by a narrow band of the plush which slips up or down as required. An ornament the Debutante. two flounces of silver-run luce about the bottom. The wide scallops at the bottom of the overskirt reach only a little below the top of these flounces, and are defined by spangles. Except for a small pannier drapery at each side the overskirt hangs in straight lines from the waist. For n short figure this drapery would better be dispensed with. An underbodice of net Is gathered by two rows of shirring Into a round neck and has elbow sleeves finished with silver-run lace. The satin over bodice is merely a length of the ma terial drawn about the figure and trimmed in a point at the front. Two rows of spangles define its lower edge. About the top of the satin bodice and over the right shoulder there is n light drapery of tulle. Over the left shoulder a suspender of narrow velvet ribbon -proves that it is the unexpectj eel that happens in gowns as in othe, feminine a flairs. In colored beads, is embroidered oa it exactly like the ornament on the hat. which lias a crown and brim edge of plush. In I lie center of the group a I'alm Beach is shown for those who turn their backs upon the Ice and snow to bask In a Southern sun and wear marvelous sports clothes. The soft hnt and bag are made of blue and gold faille silk, sewed with blue and gold yarn and finished with yarn tas sels. These tassels are fastened to the hat and bag with snap fasteners. Why? Because the hat and bag are reversible and may be worn with the blue side out or the gold side out. Whichever way, the blue and gold tas sels make them complete. Violets on the Sleeve. The other day two society buds at the lliltmore in New York had small bunches of violets pinned to their sleeve cuffs, where they wer quit attractive.

E!am, of this place, in writing of her female troubles, says: "This trouble went ou for 14 years, often I was unable to work and suffered badly at . . . times, when I could not be on my feet at all.

"I'm n foe to all 'privilege,' " he said. "Privilege means trouble. It's like the steamboat captain who had the bar privilege. "This captain, to whom all the prof Its went, shouted through his telephone to the engineer: " 'For heaven's sake, Mike, slow her down. We got 'em drlnkln' tine.'
