Huleigh, Feb. 23. In the Leg
islature the last several days were
what may be termed "liquor bills
week," and the hall of the House
and Senate Chamber have resounded
with the oratory of Kcpresentatives
aim nenators on the subject of tern
pcrauce, prohibition and liquor legis
lation.
In the Senate a minority of the
cuiiiiiiiucr nuviiig rue AUIi-suioou
League bill (known as the "London
bill ) in charge, reported a stibsti
tnte for that measure, which iU ad
vocates claimed was practically the
London bill, except that provision is
made so that the country people a ml
residents of towns of leas than 3(10
population can vote on the nucstion
of the manufacture and sale of liquor,
as well us those in towns and cities
of greater population.
1 Ins substitute bill was first taken
up, and three days have already been
consumed (including night session)
cnieny in its discussion. A vote will
be reached on it and the lon.lon bill
at- noon Tuesday, that agreement
having neen leached lv the Senate
Saturday afternoon.
The House has wrestled with the
so-called "Watts hill" (said to have
been drawn by Governor Ayeock und
Senator Simmons), day and night
for a week. .Mncudincut after
amendment was offered and voted
down. Finally the bill, after being
slightly ultercil by gome amendments,
passed its second rending by a vote
of 71 to 38, and on Friday night it
passed the third and bnnl rending by
the vote of 48 to 30. It now goes to
the Senate.
It looks now as though the Senate
might pass the Ixiiulou bill, with
section 5 stricken out (its advocates
agreeing to that I, and if it does, there
will necessarily have to be a confer
ence on the part of the two branches,
through a conference committee, and
agree on a compromise bill.
And they'll have to hurry, if they
get any kind of bill at all enacted in
to law.

The Senate has passed the "anti
child labor bill" almost unanimous
ly, and the House will concur in it,
p"robably this week.
The bill reported by the commit
tee (as ugreed on between them and
the representatives of the null men
hire) was amended, however, before
it was passed.
As passed it allows adult ojhtu
tives in cotton mills and workers in
other mmiufiH-torira in iurkoci sixty-six
hours a week, if they choose
to. Hut minors under eighteen years
cannot w ork longer than eleven hours
a day, or an average of sixty-six
hours in any one week. Children
under twelve shall nut lie employed,
under any circumstances. That's
all, An amendment was offered to
prohibit children lie! ween twelve and
fourteen years from working at night,
but it was rejected by an overwhelm
ing majority against il, after Senator
Dm ham, of Gaston, made a ringing
simtcIi against it on liehalf of the
operatives and ill their interest, he
stated, though he is himself a cotton
mill ollicial. It was a tine sjieech,
