As to shipments accompa nied by draft, the Senate committee adds, "which draft is enclosed with, connected with or related to any bill of lading, order or receipt." This last is intended to reach" such a case as went up from Newbern and make a shipment with draft accom panying a sale within' the meaning of the State law. Th? ratification clause was changed so that the bill shall not go into effect until April 1st. State Library Bill. Senator Nimocks' bill establishing a legislative reference department in connection with the State library re ceived favorable action from the joint committee on State lihrary. It pro vides for the collating and classifying- all statutes of other States, legis lative proceedings of other bodies, re ports of constitutional conventions; in fact, a complete repository of informa tion, useful to law-makers.

The Ray usury bill; the special or der, with a 6 to 5 favorable vote in the committee on Judiciary No. 1, caused a debate and was finally killed 13 to 21.; It was to change the present law so as to permit a borrower claim ing exaction of usury to start suit for restraining sale of real estate without first paying principal and legal inter- HP Via Toacuro amWiaa o Hfcconf j opinion in a recent case in the Su- Btaden, and Barnes, opposed. At 2:10 the Senate took recess until 8 tonight, to consider the six months school act. ' Schools in Senate. . The Senate devoted the night ses sion to discussion of the six months school term bill, but did not reach a vote for the reason that it is a roll call bill and it will have to be read on two more days. . The problem that was confronting some Senators as to how the counties were to meet the setting aside of five cents on the $100 of the State levy and still pay county expenses seems to have been solved in most cases by an amendment offered by Senator Bryant, of Durham, and accepted by Senator Thorne, in charge of the bill. It au thorizes the commissioners of any county to levy a special tax in excess of the constitutional limitation, not exceeding five cents on the $100, to provide for any deficiency in the neces sary current expenses and revenue which may be caused by the provisions of the act. Another amendment was sent up by Senator Evans, of Pitt, pro viding that seven cents per capita of the fund of $250,000 appropriated by the bill be devoted annually to giv ing school facilities to the children in mates of institutions cared for by char ity. This did not appear to meet with much approval, being considered by Senator Council and others to be some what beside the main question, and more properly the object of another bill. The most notable speeches for the bill were made by Senators Thorne, Bryant, Daniel, Mason, Cook, Ivie, Mc Lean, Evans, of Bladen; Hobgood, ana Council. Senator Bryant had voted aeainst J thejrill in the committee, but waa able to support It with his amendment, the idea of which he said " had been sug gested by another.. Senators Gilliam and Peterson indicated hostility to the bill by their question. New Hanover Bills. The Senate at the night session pass ed on final reading the House bill placing members of Wilmington police and fire forces on pension roll. House bill creating office of county solicitor for. New Hanover; Senate bill fixing compensation of county commission ers of New Hanover and to refund certain payments received by present and past commissioners; Senate bill consolidating health departments of city of Wilmington and county of New nanover.

Bowie's Personal Privilege , Mr. Bowie, ;o.f Ashe, arose to a ques tion of personal privilege, , resenting treatment he said he Iiad- received at the hands of - Mn. Justice. Of Guilford, and the editor of the Raleigh morning paper. He said he had. been taught never, tprhit a, .blow, below ;the belt,' It had been- his tiracfcice wnen ne receiv ed petitions from counties he did not represent to always consult the .Rep- . i i V innnfv. - TTo V resemauve . V C .ferred to an editorial appearing in the , News & Observer entitled. The:Pri; -i mary and The West" The editor had. done him an-inmstice in not stating ki ntontinns n t,he matter. The pe- U1Q V VIU'VU titiens from his county tyad come to Mr, Justice, of Guilford. - He read an article from the Jefferson Recorder under a-.Raleigh date , lice and letters from people of Jefferson resenting it. Mr.: Justice presented his side of the matter nd related incidents and cir-, cumstances indicating that Mr.- Bowie was. fighting the primary bill secretly, notably in preventing quorums for its consideration" in committee. He read a letter fromJ. B. Council, of Jef ferson, commending his primary , and corrupt practices bills and intimating! that he woula sena petitions irom Ashe to him. Mr. Page asked that this personal conflict' between the gentlemen from Guilford and Ashe be not allowed to bias the minds of members as to the primary bill pending. Primary Bill Argument Chairman. Murphy announced the rule that each side have one hour for discussion of the bill. The -argument was opened by Mr. Moore, "author of the committee substitute, who explain ed its provisions as prescribing prefer ential primaries for National, district and State . office candidates and leav ing the application of the primary for nomination of county officers optional with the. county authorities. Objec tionable features, as he and others had seen them, had been eliminated. The fees . required from candidates would practically tae. care of the ex penses of the primaries. Mr. Ray, of Macon, wanted the pres ent conditions let alone, and for the primary law . to apply only to those icounties that want it. 'Mr. Devin, of Granville, advocated the State-wide primary law and he thought the objections of the Western members was fully met by allowing any counties to elect county officers through the primary or not as they chose. Mr. Bowie based his objection to the bill principallyon the ground that the -bill still permits of challenges withf answers under oath as to party affiliations and through thi3 there would be very dangerous cuts in the Democratic votes in the West espe cially la hi county 50 men vote theTfpe"at. uslc 4and nielodies National and State Republican ticket and the Democratic county ticker. These wquld be cut out. And there are similar conditions in many other coun ties.. The bill would create an official aristocracy in North Carolina .as onry the rich could afford to run for office. Williams, of Hertford, thought that there is great necessity for election re forms in North Carolina and he sup ported the pending bill. Mr- Roberts, of Buncombe, thougtit that the Democrats should let the Re publicans run their affairs as they pleased. He did not consider the pri mary bill a progressive measure, but unDemocratic and unAmerican. Weatherspoon charged that the op ponents of the bill are opposing hon est party alignments. Bynum, of Chatham, said hi3 people do not want it. Mr. Stewart, of Mecklenburg, called attention to the fact that the North Carolina Farmers' Union, the Presi dent elect, the Governor of the State, the State Democratic Executive Com mittee are committed to a legalized primary system. Mr. Grier. of Iredell, took the view that the legalized primaries would de velop a system of bosses that would dominate the State. Mr. Austin sent an amendment iu which Mr. Thomas, of Davidson, join ed exempting Stanly and Davidson counties. Mr. Austin insisted that the bill would saddle on the State a condition in which a person would be considered guilty until proven inner cent instead of the old common law doctrine to the reverse. Democrato in his county would refuse to go into the Democratic primaries under this bill An amendment by Dillinger would ex empt Gaston county. Other amend ments exempting counties began to pour in and pending the resumption or argument the House took recess to 8 o'clock to close arguments ana tae the vote.' About half hour or argu ments remain before the previous question is.called and. the ;yote taken. oaf styles 10 SCANT Undoubtedly Wilmington theatre-goers have one of the rarest treats of the season in Saturday's Academy at traction, when noted "Ofilcer 666", the play that, made New York howl for. so many months, .will be - presented at matinee and night. It will be offered, too, in the same elaborate New ,York' way and by a superb company. In fact, the .noted managers, -.Cohan & Harris, stand sponsor for it; Seats for both performances are now, on sale at Plummer's. The matinee prices are $1 and 75 cents for the lower part of the. theatre, and 50 and 75 cents for the balcony The night prices range to $1.50. ,! , Not onrxv&as the ' press . of - the big cities, but those of nearby cities have praised the -attraction.

The piece itself is one of ad mirable proportions, the plot being well conceived and most skilfully han dled and the lines decidedly clever and original. And better still the pro ducing company was composed of a cast of experienced players, who meas ured up to the situations in a manner , that would have. dona, credit to the New York company. The effect of an admirable -play in admirable hands can well be. imagined. The" producing company h,ere yesterday was all that could be desirod."
