A DjlL'tjdliun rruin Greensboro Ar rived In Ralcfgli Tbls ftlorolng i Preliminary Step to Se- cure Capitol. "There is a tie nnd the chair votes. 'no'." announced Lieutenant-Governor Newlaud when a tie vote was do. dared in the Senate yesterday on the Larringor bill relative to the privi leges of persons owning mileage books. The bill would abolish the re quirement of the railroads that per sons possessing mileage books must secure tickets before entering the tialns. The vote was 22 to 22, thret s. natnrs not voting, a like number belli;; absent from' the city. Friends of the meusure desire a reconsideration and will endeavor to have some mem ber who voted ai;alnst the bill to movt a reconsideration of the vote by which it failed to pa.w Its second reading. The debate on the Harringer bill was the most earnest conducted dur ing the entire session of the Legisla ture to date. The advocates and op ponents of the relict provided in the bill were prepared for the argument which was ably presented on each Bide. Tho most serious question raised by the opposition was that of the. tfuistituti-mality ot the net, its validity being splendidly supported by those who spoke for it. The discus sion .drought out wwul matters rela tive to the attitude of the railroads toward the 3ttde that are of vital' im portance 'to the people.

The Senate passed the House bil: authorizing the State Board of Medi cal examiners lo issue a special li cense, to be known as a "Limited Li cense," to persons to practice medi cine and surgery in localities where the conditions are such as to render it advisable. This act Is for the ben efit of several mountain districts, which have no regularly licensed phy sician. The session of tho House yesterday was particularly important, because of the fact that the vexatious and In tricate fish question was set at rest for at least two years by the passage of a resolution by Mr. Stubbs to tabic the present bill (leaving the present law undisturbed) and authorizing the appointment of a special legislative commission to investigate the whole matter and report the result of its conclusions togother with recommen dations to the General Assembly of 1911. This result , was reached after a long and exciting discussion. Among the important bills intro duced were those providing duced were those by Cox of Wake pro viding for a method of equality ot as sessment for taxation of property, also) his bill to provide a bond issue ot not more than $7.10,000 to crest suit able buildings for the State offices and institutions at Raleigh. The bill pro vides $50,000 for repairing and reno vating the Capitol, not changing Its present plan. The balance is to erect a suitable, commodious and safe fire proof build ing on the bolck occupied by the Su preme Court building and the Agricul tural building for all the State de partments. The bonds are to run for forty years and to bear not more than 4 per cent Interest. The other two much Important pub lic bills Introduced were by Graham, to change the method ot taxation of telephone and telegraph companies, and by Williams, of Dare, to promote and develop the oyster Industry of the State. A delegation from Greensboro, High Point and other places In Guilford county, arrived in Raleigh today In the interest of the bill before the Leg islature to allow the people to vote upon the question of moving the Capi tol to Grenslwro.

The Danville IKe, u citing statis lies on building and loan associations gives some striking illustrations of tho home-building achievements of this modern Invention of Intelligent co-operation tlmt should appeal with wholesome effect to our Goldsboro '.people. We quote from the lice as follows "Philadelphia is the greatest home jwnlng city in this country, and that n New Jersey tli" per capita invest ment by the people in building and Joan organizations is $17. Think of it! For every man, woman and child n the entire State of New Jersey an iverage of $17 is invested in this one enterprise or form of enterprise Among the cities Charlotte, N. C. leads every other In the South and probably in the whole country, Phila delphia excepted, with $24 per capita paid in on tills stock and $100 per aplta subscribed. This magnificent showing of uni versal thrift and prosperity by Char lotte is largely the result of the In ititution of ttie modern building and oan plan, whereby loans can be se cured at 6 per cent. This means on ly G per cent, during the entire life if the loan until its extinction and not 6 per cent, on the etitire princi pal until the last dollar Is paid. To make it still clearer. It means 0 per cent, interest on the balance due t the time of every payment. In this connection we may add that the Mutual Hull. ling and Loan Associa tion of Danville is based upon this harlotte plan and is a guaranteed 6 ier cent, investment fnr all who de sire to utilize the opportunity for sav- ngs and a maximum interest rate oi but 6 per cent, for those who desire to borrow money with which to build domes. . The interest payments on the oans hardly "equal the cost of rent. kkoigiit jsiit against "witchcraft doctor Vculiiir Cum; Heard This Morning by Capt J. E. Peterson. A peculiar case was heard by Capt. J. E. Peterson this morning, when John Williams, colored, of Mt. Olive, brought suit : against Leb. Kirby. charging him with being a "Witch- raft Doc tor." The two, however, de ided to settle the matter outside of court andthe warrant was withdrawn. The alleged charge against Kirby lates back to last year, whe Wiljiarus was to be tried at a term of the Su perior Court. He was induced to par: with $5, for which Kirby gave him a bottle of medicine, which was to be used just before the trial. The na ture of the medicine was such that It would so influence the attorneys and judge that Williams would be cleared At thistrial Williams was acquit ted, but by a narrow margin. Ht lien began thinking about that medl- ine and his $5, and finally brought uit to recover the money. Asthma Vanishes So Does Catarrh, Croup, Hay Fe ver and Bronchitis.

A most exciting and harrowing run away occurred yesterday afternoon but which fortunately resulted in no serious damage to either occupants or vehicle. While Mrs. Herman Smith and Mrs Lyndon Humphrey were out driving yesterday afternoon in the former conveyance, and having with them Mrs. Smith's bright little two-year-old son, they met an automobile, but the lorse s! owed no sign of alarm uti til right abreast of the machine, when he made a sudden wheel, turning the buggy almost over and throwing Mrs Smith, who was driving, Into the road and dashing off at full speed with the reins trailing at the Bide of the buggy and with Mrs. Humphrey and the lit tle boy left helpless at the mercy of fate. With wonderful coolness and hero ism Mrs. Humphrey took the baby in her arms, and turning kneeled on the seat of the buggy and, bending far over carefully dropped the little fel low In the road, without a Jar. She then turned and calmly seated herself and surveyed the situation and trust- d to Providence while the horse flew Jown the broad road towards the Or phans' Home. The workmen on the lacobi Memorial Building took in the situation and promptly hastened to Mrs. Humphrey's rescue. The fright ened horse turned right across the -ihrub hedge into the grounds, when the workmen surrounded him and rescued Mrs. Humphrey, who came out of the ordeal smiling and gracious ly thankful to her rescuers, but, of course, somewhat nervous after it was all over." In the meantime Mrs. Smith and Drs. Wm. and John Splcer, who were the occupants of the automobile. were beside themselves with anxiety and, racing after the runaway afoot, while the little boy insisted on telling his mother that "that lady threw me out of the buggy."

Y, PENROSE AT ODDS WITH LAFOLLETTE . , i Pennsylvania Angry Becaus of Assaults Made Upon The Senate. II LARGE Mill The Amount ot $232,000,000 for Postoflice Was Passed by the Senate During Stormy Bebate. Washington, D. C, Feb. 18. The lostofllce bill, carrying appropria tions of over $232,000,000, was passed by the Senate today after a very jtormy debate during which Senator Penrose, In charge. of the measure made an angry assault on Senator La- Follette, who had entered into a gen- ral criticism of Senate committees because of what he termed their un warranted delay in reporting great ap propriation bills. Mr. LaFollette had, at length, chid- ed the Senate with permitting a glut it important legislation to be disposed f In haste during the last days, of Congress and had suggested that it would be no calamity if all of these bills could not be acted upyo, saying that a reorganization of committees would allow the special session to consider them and other important legislation. Responding In angry tones, Mr. Penrose charged the Senator from Wisconsin with having failed to at tend meetings of the committees of which he was a member, finally de claring that his criticism sounded more like the arguments "made by a vendor of a patent medicine from the tall door of a cart in the villages of Wisconsin" than those of a Senator of the United States.
