E. LEWIS, Sheriff morrow morning and it will be through by Friday or Saturday morn ing. Regardless of pending legisla tion and a mass of local bills, the solons are going to wind up state af fairs Saturday and adjourn not later than Saturday night. The house took a definite step towards insuring ad journment for Saturday when it adopted a resolution today agreeing that no new bills would be introduced in that body after the morning, and the senate has turned down a bunch of proposals ; from its members to check the flow of roll call bills but it will be ready to adjourn as soon as the house, finishes its work. The senate has been making better time than the house, and its work is "up to date", the flurry of Monday night is passing and what Senator Menden hall, of Guilford, terms "tomfolery" is being checked, so that only the constitutional convention bill re mains before the general assembly now as a possible trouble maker. For instance, the senate bill reduc. ing the personal property tax exemp tion from $300 to $100 has been kill ed, failing to survive a house com mittee .meeting. Representative Will Neat's bill to abolish the state wide primary did not get anywhere with- these remarks to the exemption and the ejectment bill. Representative Connor, of Wilson, introduced i nthe house this morning a bill amending the mandamus sec tion of the public school law pro viding, for a jury, trial in all legal battles over the rate of taxes coun ties must levy for the operation of schools for the six months term. The bill will go through with the educa tionalbill, validating previous school tax rates and raising the maximum authorized rate from 30 to 39 cents thereby insuring in the opinion of Representatives, postive settlement of school disputes and acting as a bar rier against possible future difficul ties. Heretofore, disputes of this character were heard before the su perior court, judge in chambers, go ing from him directly to the supreme court. The house put a stop to efforts to have the daisy adopted as the official state flower, a bill introduced by Rep resentative Ross containing this pro vision having been defeated on a viva voce vote. Brock Barkley in Char. lotte Observer. Raleigh, Dec. 13.

The vote on second reading stood 19-19, In order to ob tain reconsideration tomorrow of this bill, Senator Long changed his vote, making the final second reading vote stand 20.18 against the measure.
