He supported the effort to divorce the townships voclforously, strenuously and at length, and for that matter effectively, for the senate voted with him against tabling the bill and then panted the original bill. With one township In Urahmn county made afe for democracy fr another year at ' least, the senate turned attention to Its calendar of local bills and to' consideration of stats wide measures. . Mate mill Pass. The following measures uf general Interest and stale wide application were passed at the morning session tif the senate: I'. Validating action of boards of rommlsstoners of various counties .In borrowing money cm short term notes In anticipation of the collection of takes. Luna Long explained that prac tically every county borrowed money In this way, but Hint when the banks tried to discount the notes in New York objection' was raised because of the lack of validating acts, I. Authorized the secretary of state to employ special agents and Inspectors to aid county and city officials In the enforcement of the automobile license law.

To allow voluntary organisations such as lodges, labor uhlons or other non-religious voluntary Organizations to oonvey land. 1. Appropriate money to the state's part of the fund provided for recom pensing owners of rows killed for tu berculosis and horses or mules killed on account of glanders. There was opposition to this bill, but It passed because Chairman MuColn of the ap propriations fommlttee called atten tion to the fact that the law waa on tha books and the debt an obligation of the state. Tha senate killed the. Swain, bill . authorising the corporation commis sion to employ Inspectors to look after the sanitary condition of railway stations and trains. The health de partment did not think the new office necessary, tor the work proposed un der the bill could be handled by the public health department of any connty, nous ftesaloa, Tha house Hatunlay tabled the bill providing for Juries to fix punishment in all capital cases with the excop tlon of rape, voted down a measure seeking to authorise the governor to offer a reward not to exceed $1,600 for the arrest of fugitives charged with felonlea, and after bitter debate ra-referred the Ihvnlap bill providing for repeal of penalties In the payment of taxes to the house committee on finance, which means the measure will reoehva an unfavorable report and will not pass at the special session, After lenghy debate which ran from the sublime to the ridiculous tha, Rosa bill designating the oxide daisy is tha stats flower of North Carolina waa passed on Its several readings by a vote of 48 to IS. Upon tha recommendation of the committee on agrloulturt the bill fixing ' OS pounds as tha standard weight of Tar Heel corn on the cob and ? pounds on shelled corn Instead of the old weights of 70 and 74, waa passed with out opposition. The third blip which passed through the house without hindrance reduced from 10 to five years the time required by membera of state- fire companies to participate In the firemen's relief fund In the event they are disabled while In service, A aecond attempt was made to pass the bill Imposing a lli.ono bond upon operators of all bus linns' operating automobiles for hire and which could be classed as common carriers, but ad vocates of the hill, after examination, found that It was too Indefinite In lis c'aKilflcatlnn as to ( who and what should oome tinder the term "bus lines." So the bill was withdrawn so as to permit the drafting of a sub stitute, which may be Introduced at Monday's session. Interest' In the house session cen tered around tho Dunlap senate bill . providing for repeal uf penalties In the payment, or the failure to pay taxis within the time specified by the present luw, which Is before January l of each year. The measure came back to the house for consideration and upon the mo tion of Douk litem, of Allcghanoy, that It be sent to the commttlue on finance the discussion began., Bowie, of Ashe. opponent of the present law and who favored the repeal of the" peualtlea provision, asked that the bill be placed Its ) upon the calendar. "The present law.' aald Mr. Howie. "Is vicious legislation and ought not to have tu-en passed at the regular session." In this statement he was supported by Murphy, of Kowan, who declared that he considered the as aestnent of penalties and the grant ing of a bates In the collection of taxes unlust and unwise and that If he "lived to become 43 minutes "Older than Methuseluk" he would continue to oppose the principle laid down by any such law. The vote to place th,e bill upon the calendar showed 41 for and 43 against the proposition, the measure going to the nuance committee, which Howie said meant its utter destruction. ' Representative Hendrlx, of Madison, sought to obtain favorable action on, his bill allowing juries to Impose the penally of either life Imprisonment or death In all capital cases except that of rape, but Olover, of Nash, cut off debate with a motion to table, the question carrying by a vote of S7 to 11. The Madison county representa tive saw much good In the' measure, said there waa a public demand for Ha passage and that It would not only strengthen the luw but would relieve the governor of reviewing virtually all capital cases In which the Supreme court has refused new trials. , When Representative Ross had ex plained to the house that the bill pro posing to make the oxeyed daisy the stale flower was not the yellow butter cup adopted by the. woman's suffrage organization, and that the school chil dren of North Carolina had by a plural ity of 14,000 votes selected the daisy as their choice, opposition to his measure vanished. Walter Murphy's request that Rowan county be exempted from the operation of the law oa the ground that either the Virginia creeper or f'he frumpet flower, the latter sometimes affection ately referred to as the cow'sItch, had won out In an Informal referendum In his county,- was Ignored. . This ' was particularly true because Mr. Murphy gave the botanical names of the two' patriot flowers he had nominated. The house, without discussion, placed the name of June Robinson, negro woman, oT Wake county, who Is now In her EfOth year, upon the pension roll. ' Manlejr Smith Paroled. .' .
