The Senate Committee, Senator Bel- amy, chairman, sat with the House Committee, but when the matter reaehed a vote it was found that there was not and had not been a quorum of the Senate Committee present at any time during the hearing.

He recounted the great possibilities for development that this improvement -would open up for the immediate section and more especial ly to advantages that will come to the travel into Central Carolina and the development of the Wilmington-Char lotte highway. Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy followed with an exposition of "Wilmington's attitude and the necessity ' for this course in view of the fact that Brunswick was unable or unwilling to come up with her part of the expense if the annexa tion was not' adopted as the solution. He reviewed the past efforts and in sisted on'the equitableness of the pres ent proposition, which had the ap proval and -active support of the great majority of those residing'in the ter ritory proposed to be1 annexed. , - B. H. Cranmer, of Southport, spoKe In opposition to the bill,-pleading that it would be the ruin of Brunswick.

He insisted that Brunswick ? has sponged long enough on Wilmington and New Hanover and hidden her talents nnder the pleaded bushel of poverty.

Premier Guechoff declined to accede to the request. He said there was no precedent for foreigners leaving a be sieged place under similar circumstan ces and there were" weighty reasons why Bulgarian headquarters could not grant such permission. Nor could a neutral zone be established, as no guarantee could be given that shells. would not accidentally fall within the zone, and consequently- great difficul ties would be created-for the troops engaged in the operations.
