pMEDINGS OF I IIWW- THE LEGISLATURE LApPENING of interest in THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA. fESS'ON MAY BE EXTENDED grown 'BUI,--For,the Calling of a Con stitutional Convention Passed By -Senate Without Opposition. Ralegh . The following is a brief resume of work of a general nature done by IUK .st:uiuiy aunng i period of one week: Senate and House. Feb. 2SrTne senate- passed the -grown bill for calling a constitutional convention, the vote being unanimous, and then after discussion passed on both second and third readings, by roll call vote, the Doughton bill from the house for an income amendment to the constitution. The house had a long discussion of the McCoin-Mull road bill and the Stacy substitute from the senate of fered by Representative Poole as a substitute for the house bill and then took recess to 7:30 to take a soon start for threshing out the differences among members as to this road legis lation. Senator Gray offered In the senate and Representative Doughton in the house- the Gray-Doughton bill that has the unanimous indorsement of the joint finance committee for making a full-value assessment of all real estate in North Carolina this year and rilling a special session of the legis lature in May or June next for fixing a lower tax rate that will correspond with the increased assessments. Senate. March 1. The Senate' worked in serious fashion for four v hours and sent through a mass of legislation, most of it of little public importance. The bill guaranteeing to teachers a minimum salary to teachers and pro viding a county budget system, which was passed by the House by a unani mous vote, went through the Senate -w;th but one negative vote. Senator Haymore saw danger to local self government in having -salaries fixed in Raleigh and opposed , the adoption of the mea3ure. n Hours. Ten Republicans and ; eight ; Demo vrats voted in favor of the bill to pre vent railroads from employing illiter ate trainmen, which came to the floor nn a minority report signed by Mr., "Williams and advocated by himself W PoK of Montgomery. This hill, defeated hy a vote of 52 to IS, evoked the rankest floor discussion the. House has wHresed. with J. Frank Ray bit terly attacking the bill and assailing the motive behind the insistence 4hat took the bill away from a 20 to ,1. un favorable report and placed it before the House for discussion. During his assault on the bill he thundered at Poole: "Sit down, I don't want to her from you!" When Mr. Williams asked him if ha wasn't himself a railroad attorney, he du,hbed the minority leader "a chicken headed wh'pper snapper.' - Senate and House. " March 3.. -Governor Bickett ;' 'went "before a joint session of the senate ?nd hon;p to nlead for the enactment f the Mull-McC'oin state highway bill in preference t any other road meas ure tending. He .declared against any nud boM issue by the state at this t;m in?Mine that the people should V Vard before such a step is tVen. Thp senate passed a committee nV;t-'tute for the Wright resolution, ind'ired the second day of fe ses sion, for an investteitiou' of f re in surance rtes in North Carolina. The senate passed the Humohrey Stevens bill to restrict the sale of revolvers, knucks and daggers and the like, by requiring would-be '-purchasers to have a permit from the tff-k of the county court. The hovse was in committee of the hole in the afternoon until 7 o'clock, freshing out the, differences among hers as to the state-wide road to'slat'on pend'n'r. the.net outcome ' Mne that the Stacey substitute for ne Scales Stevens bill from the sen Ht Indictment of Apex. "A section where blockade whiskey is distilled night and day; where it is retailed and wholesaled, to be distrib uted in Raleigh and Durham principal ly; where drunken crowds revel in utos week days and Sundays ; where scenes bordering on rioting have stir the law-abiding people into pas sioaate appeals for relief through the courts." Thus Apex, a town in the western part of Wake county, less than 20 miles of the Capital of North Carolina, was pictured inSuperion Court .at the trial of Joe Baldwin.: " tends Time for Making Returns.

March 5. The house took up the Bryant school board bill as a.pecial order today and passed it by a large, majority. Under the. bill about 25 counties will have three Democratic and two Republican members and the other two Democrats and one Repub lican to be appointed, by the legisla ture, the right to elect being taken from the six counties that have for some' time held the. privilege of elec tions. In passing the senate bill for state system of cotton storage warehouses on final reading today, the house vot ed down an amendment offered by Poole, of Montgomery, for limiting the 25 cents a bale tax to the cotton stor ed, instead of applying It to all cot ton baled. The amendment was voted down after an appeal against the amendment by Grant, of New Han over, the purpose of the measure be ing to maintain cotton prices by grad ual marketing, so all cotton should share the tax. . ' . ' Senator Lovell offered in the sen ate the Confederate pension bill, car rying $650,000 instead of the $500,000 heretofore - provided for the old sol diers. The bill was given immediate passage and sent by special messen ger to the house. It develons that about $750,000 will be available for pensions annually under the new ap propriations bill. , Representative Grant, of New Han over, closed the argument in the house on the issue of suffrage for women in municipal elections. It was the Everett bill that was up as a sne cial order and Grant's was a reallv forceful and elonuent presentation of main's self-constituted lordship of all things. in6ludlng woman, and declara tion of what he conceived - to be her eual right to a vo!c in governmental affairs, particularly the modest sbre of vote-in iminicipaleleetions as-provided in the bill. However, the majority was dead against the measure and the roll call vote showed 49 for and 54 against. Senate and House. March 6. A heroic effort is being made to reach some definite settle ment, of the differences as to1 state wide road legislation for federal aid. and Senator Stevens submitted a res olution providing that the legislature remain in session 10 days over time if necessary to secure adequate road leg islation. He urged immediate adop- i tion. but the measure went over with the expectation that there would be definite developratnts then that would indicate the time necessary for per fecting an acceptable mad bill. The house passed without a dissent ing vote the bill for a complete re valuation of all real properties in the state at actual money value, this work to be accomplished during the next year under the direction of the state tax commission and to take, the place of the regular quadrennial revaluation that was scheduled for the coming summer, The senate passed a bill to prohibit telephone companies from converting intra-state messages into interstate messages: also a bill to prevent school teachers from infecting pupils with tuberculosis. The senate decHpd ot to further consider the Cnor, bill for election of a. wornm sufge Tnonflmpnt tr the constitution. sinr the house voted down the Everett bill to give women the right to vote in municipal elec Hons. MptJ; the house took no the Neal ch'id labr bqi and. after a brief dis cussion, it received the unanimous To Borrow Only $1,000,000. By making available the remaining amounts of the three million dollar is sues of two years ago, it is believed that the State can get along forthe next two years for permanent improve ments by borrowing only a million dollars.

The club had suc ceeded in having Mrs. Upchurch elect ed last fall when the request for two women members was first made. When the bill to elect the school board members by vote was tabled in the General Assembly Mayor Johnson stated that the commissioners would accede to the desife of the women.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL - Number S5: Deuteronomy 19. PRIMARY TOPIC Protecting the un fortunate. INTERMEDIATE1 TOPIC - Treatment Of unintentional offenders. ' SENIOR AND ADULT TOPlC-Our re sponsibility toward offenders. I. The Need of the Cities of Refuge (20:1-3). Justice everywhere cried "An eye for an eye." "A tooth for a tooth." "Blood for blood." and the avenger of blood was charged with the duty of satisfying this cry. While Justice should not be allowed to miscarry It Is most important that there be mercy shown. Sometimes Just men forget to, be merciful. In order that the Inno cent be protected and mercy shown to the unfortunate and yet jusMee be; done the cities of refuge were author ized. It ' was not - a scheme "by which the criminal was screened from Justice, but a provision whereby the innocent was protected. II. Regulations Touching the Cities of Refuge (20:4-6). 1. The right of entrance not to be denied (v. 4). It was obligatory upon the rulers of the city to admit upon de mand the one who fled hither, pending a trial which would disclose the fact as to whether the crime had been in tentional or not. 2. The security of the. one who en tered the city (v. 5). The rulers of the city did not dare to deliver the man slayer to the avenger of blood for pnn ishmeht until a fair trial had been given; neither could the avenger cross over the threshold of the city to' touch a hair of the one who had taken refuge In It. . 3. The right of fair trial (v. G). This provision of mercy aiade it so that the refugee could be safe while care ful Investigation was made as to whether he had killed "unwittingly" or by wicked purpose. If it should be proved that the man was guilty of murder he was delivered over by the authorities to the avenger of blood that Justice' might be done. 4. .The innocent slayer must remain in the city.' (y. 6)1" Even though the trial should exonerate him from incen , tional kiUinglxet ,he. must remain In the city in order-to be saved. So grave is the act of taking a human life that even the innocent man was obliged vo be separated from his home and friends at least until the death of the high priest. This deprivation enforced the obligation to shield life. III. The. Appointment of the Cities of Refuge (20:7-9). 1. On the west side of Jordan (v. 7). (1) Kedeshlln Naphtali on the noth ; (2) Shechem in Mt. Ephratm in the center; (3) Hebron in the south. 2. On the east side of Jordan (v. 8.K (1) Golan- in Bashan on the north; (2) Ramoth-Gilead In Gad in .the cen ter; (3) Bezer in Reuben In the south. In-this distribution there was a place of safety. accessible to all. These cities were not only in rach, but good roads, well marked, led vo them so that the refugee might reach a place of safety before being overtaken (Deut. 19). : , This beautifully Illustrates the ref uge which the sinner has in Christ: (1) It's necessity. Since by accident or wicked purpose men did kill, in or der to be saved from the avenger these cities of necessity were appointed. All have sinned and are exposed to the wrath of God, therefore if any be saved a place of safety must be pro vided in Christ. (2) This provision was by divine appointment. "Of him are ye In Christ Jesus" (1 Cor. 1:30). (3) The cities were accessible to all. They were ; so distributed that wherever the unfortunate , circum stance should occr the slayer could flee to the city before being overtaken. Christ is not far off. The Bible shows what great- effort God makes to save men. (4) The one who fled to the city was secure. The avenger did not dare cross over the threshold of the eity. Every one who is in Christ is secure. No one can lay anything to the charge of God's elect. (5) The individual must flee to the city. The manslayer would be exposed to danger if he rfr mained at home pr outside of the city. The sinner, if he would be saved, must come to Christ. There is no place of safety for thdse who remain away. The safety Christ is even more vital than tha In these cities. To him the guilty e.ii flee with the assurance of safety. The Only Riches. The only riches one ' possesses la What Vn rlvs Marti'1" An Inch of Rain. An inch of ruin coming down on a single acre of s ground would fill more than 600 barrels of 45 gallons capacity each. This amount of water would weigh more than 110 tons, or nearly a quarter of a million pounds. : Handling Potatoes. : Potatoes , should be handled care fully and not as though they were cobblestones. The . potato , is a living ; thing, with a protective skin,; vhich It is able to keep -intact if It has a fair chance HUK iHUNGER B R -t TO: SPEEDY PEACE URGENT NEED OF SUPPLYING GERMANY WITH FOOD FULLY RECOGNIZED. ITALIAN BOOfpy QUESTION Lloyd George's Plan Involves Aband onment of Military Conscription in All Conquered Territory'.' Paris: Stephen Pichon, the French foreign minister, in his talk" with the correspondents, discussed the bearing of the food situation in Germany on the speedy conclusion ot peace. He said that the urgent need bfsupplying Germany was recognized at Paris. in signing me armistice last Janu ary, Germany agreed to hand over ' her commercial fleet, to be used in re- victualling Europe generally, and Ger many particularly. Yet. continued the minister, at a recent meeting at Spa the German delegates v declared that the arrangement was unsatisfactory and that, they would "absolutely refuse to part with their ships." , The allies were -willing. Mr. Pichon went on. not only to supply food, nt " to accord credit to Germany, but Ger- , many must first declare her willing ness to live up to the conditions of J.1 Tr , . , me January annisxice. suou as tne terms or me Ger man peace have been concluded, Mr. Pichon said, the council would take up - the Austrian peace which would involve the future boundaries between Italy and former Au3tro-Hungarian territory. The. subject has already been discussed recently. The council has adopted Premier ! Lloyd George's plans tor regulaitng the future military-strength of Germany, according to the minister who confirm-' ed the fact that this involves the abandonment of conscription in favor of a small professional army. ' TERRIBLE PICTURE IS DRAWN OF CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA Washington. David ' P, Francis, who went to Russia as American am bassador in 1916 before the -overthrow of the monarchy and who re mained there until after the bolshe- vists had seized the government, in testifying before the, senate commit .tee investigating lawle.ss propaganda, warned that should the; bolshevists he permitted to remain in power all Rus sia would' be exploited - by . the Ger mans. Within 10 years under such conditions, he said. Germany would be the victor of the war in that the nation would be stronger in every way than it was in ;1914. r , . He painted a vivid picture of the terror that reigns and Jold of one in stance where the gutters fromra court-' vard In' Petrograd actually ran witii; blood from the victims of the bol shevists. Many were killed without even charges being made against them and on several occasions, the ambassador aserted. wholesale 'kilk ings were indulged in. He said more than five hundred innocent hostages ivere killed at one time, and his ob servation of conditions and affairs in Russia led him to believe the ' bolshe vists in their every-day practices com mitted excesses far beyond 'even the wiiaest areams oi anarcmsis. ' AMERICAN SHIPS NOW CARRY PRODUCTS TO END OF EARTH Washington. For the first, time ince the days ot the famous "Clipper" ships. American merchant craf ti now are plying the seven seas.1, carrying products of the United States to th farthest corners of the earth and ringng home both essentials and luxuries. The shiTJing board announced that the American merchant , marine fleet, built up under the spur of ward's ne cessity, now represented nearly one fifth of the entire , sea-going tonnage of . the ' world and comprised 46 per cent of all ships clearing from United States ports, as compared with 9.7 per cent before the great. yrox v .i. . .mo radica'l changes in constitution of league On Board U. S. S. George Washing ton. The impression gathered by those who have 'come into contact with Presdent Wilson is that tho op position which has developed to tbe league of nations covenant has not caused him to decide that any radical changes are necessary 1' I t is ' recog nized changes in phraseology" and mi nor particulars are possible.' but Pres ident Wilson Is not looking ' for any fundamental alteration.
