Senator McCoin offered a resolu tion to postpone the effective date of the law requiring insane asylums to receive all persons making apph cation from July 1, 1921, to July 1, 1 1923. Defending his resolution on the ground of necessity, he asserted that it was a complete mystery to him why nothing has been done to carry out the legislation of 2 years ago providing that the State prison should be made available as a hospi tal for the insane. He said that "it is no less than a crime that the State prison, which could accommo date 1,200 crazy people, should be us ed as a prison for 100 prisoners." He I attributed the inaction to subordi nate officials who sit in warm offices and enjoy the comforts of the present State prison." "No direct allusion," states the News and Observer, "was made to Governor Morrison's propos al that the plan, to remove the State prison be abandoned, but a clear-cut sentiment in favor of making imme- diate provision to accommodate the i insane persons in the jails of the sev-! eral counties was developed. To Prosecute Claims for Cotton Money. A bill passed Tuesday by the Sen ate was the Brassfield bill authoriz ing the Governor to prosecute the claim of the State for the refund of $1,900,000 illegally collected from cit izens of the State by the Federal gov ernment in direct taxes on cotton in the years immediately following the Civil War. The bill provides that the money shall go to the claimants, who are given five years after the collec tion of the taxes to prove their claims before the money escheats to the State. Measures reapportioning the mem bership 'of the House of Representa tives under the 1920 census, taking a member from Iredell and another from Union and giving one each to New Hanover and Forsyth counties, and another submitting to the people an amendment to . the Constitution raising the salary of members of the General Assembly from $4 to $10 per day, and the salary of the presiding officers from $6 to $12 per day, were offered in the House Tuesday. Gives State Supervisory Powers. The House passed Tuesday the Matthews bill giving the State super visory powers over 5 smaller normal schools now supported by the State but over which the State had no dir ect authority. Schools named in the bill are the . Fayetteville Normal, Slater Normal at Winston-Salem, Ap palachian training school, Cherokee Indian Normal at Pembroke, Cullow hee Normal and Elizabeth City Nor mal. TKe State for some years has contributed to the support of these schools but has had no part in fix ing the curricula. The department wants supervision in order that it might direct the training of teachers. Sneaking against the bill."

Senate Sounds Death Knell to Pro posed Bonus Grab. The Senate last nieht sounded what is regarded ! leaders in that body as a death knell to the bill granting a bonus of $200 to members of the General Assembly, whic is said to be iavored by a round robin bear- ing the signatures of a majority of the House membership, and i3 also said to have been declared constitu tional by members of the Supreme court and the Attorney General. Op- portunity to test the sentiment of the Senate came on another bill, already passed by the House, giving to each member of the General Assembly, who was not a member at the 1919 session, a eppy of the annotated edi tion of the Consolidated Statutes. With the voice of Senator Swain the j only one raised in direct defense of the measure, the bill was laid on the table by an overwhelming vote. As soon as the bill for free copies of the consolidated statutes was read, in the Senate, Senator Varser arose in his seat and declared that he for one could no support such a measure as it was in effect an increase in compensation and that each member of the General Assembly knew when he became a candidate the amount of salary attached, to the office .and that he did not regard any increase, direct or indirect; as constitutional or justi fiable. ' Senator Hartsell declared that the General Assembly has set a bad pre cedent back in 1777 when it voted each member a copy of the colonial Statutes and tne" practice had been continued, in subsequent legislatures every time a new code was published, up. to and including the present vol ume compiled in 1919. However, the Senator from Cabarrus considered it high time to discontinue the custom and announced his intention to vote against the bill. Senators McCoin and Carlton expressed similar views, both clearly having in mind the much discussed bonus bill though no direct allusion was made to that measure. Raleigh News and Observer, Feb. 15.

Anunusually interesting meeting of the Baptist Young People's Union association was held at the First Bap tist church of Lumberton on last Mon day evening, beginning at 7:30, this being the first meeting since the or ganization of the association. Five unions belong to the association Back Swamp, North Lumberton, East Lumberton, West Lumberton and Lumberton.

M. Baker of Lumberton. The meeting was opened by prayer, which was followed by a pleasing and interesting address by Dr. H. M. Baker, president of the association. After a short business session a song rendered by Mrs. Albert Martin, ac compained by Mrs. L. P. Stack, de lighted those present. A play under the direction of Mrs. H. M. Baker, was rendered in a most pleasing manner. Mrs. Baker waa assisted in the play' by Mrs. A. V. G.
