GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Hon. P. M. Simmons Formally- Elected U. S. Senator in Joint Session. HIS SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE. Legislative Matters The Anti-Cigarette Bill New Railroad Scheme The UniversHyBrllliint Reception to Governor "Aycock. I Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C , January 23. The joint Committee on Education and members of the Legislature generally met to day in the Senate chamber and heard able addresses by Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, President George T. Winston, of the North Car olina College of Agriculture and Me cbanic Arts, and Mr. W.'S. Primrose. of this city, a member of the Board of directors. They presented the claims or international education with a special view to impressing upon the legislators tne importance of establish ing on a firm and extensive footing a textile department at the A. and M. College. ; Incidentally they discussed very ably the importance, and in fact, absolute necessity of industrial educa tionin meeting the imperative demands of the times for preparing future gen erations for useful citizenship. It will be remembered that the board of directors of the A. and M. College have asked the General Assembly for $80, 000 appropriations; $60,000 being for new buildings and $20,000 for im provements. The needs of the insti tution as the directors state them and as strongly urged by the speakers are $35,000 for textile building, $30,000 for equipment, $15,000 for chapel and auditorium, $10,000 for dormitories, $5,000 for physics and electrical engineering, $5,000 for steam plant, heating and Iisrhtincr. Indications are that the college will get at least a very large proportion of this amount. The bill for the entire amount will very probably be reported favorably by the joint committee, but Senate and House may chop off some of the appropria tions asked, on the plea of economy. The House Judiciary Committee made a favorable report this morning on the bill by Judge Allen, of Wayne, for the prevention of kidnapping, by making the minimum penalty 20 years in the State's prison. There was to have been a meeting of the joint com mittee on printing at 9 o'clock this morning but owing to the small attend ance an adjournment was taken until to morrow night. They are charged with the duty of preparing a bill for the irovernment of the State printing. Two systems are engaging their atten tion. The first is for the re-enactment of the present law under which the state printing is done principally by Uzzell and Edwards & Broughton of this city and the second the award of the work by the job to the lowest bid der, open to bids from all the printing concerns of the State. The latter course is advocated by Commissioner of Labor and Printing Varner and Assistant Commissioner Faison, and a bill making provision for the awarding of the printing by the job to the lowest bidders has been presented to the committee by Assis tant Commissioner Faison and it is thought highly probable that the com mittee will decide to report it favor ably to the General' Assembly. The Committee on Propositions and Grievances has decided to report un favorably on future bills presented providing for supplying copies of the Supreme Court Reports to counties of the State. Several such bills have already passed the General Assembly. Special Star Telegram. United States Senator Simmons. Raleigh, N. C, January 23. At noon to-day the joint session of the Senate and House in general assembly declared Hon. F. M. Simmons duly elected United States Senator to suc ceed Marion Butler. " Lieut. Governor Turner appointed State Senator Glenn of Guilford, and Representatives WinBton of Bertie, a committee to notify Senator Simmons of the election and escort him to Repre sentative Hall where the joint session was in progress. The new Senator was greeted by a storm of applause. He made a brief but powerful speech, in which he said: "I do not conceive a term of six years in the Senate a term of ease and luxury. I shall try to make the six years steady work and watchfulness tbat I may better promote the interests of my State and my country. I can not remember the time when my earliest and highest ambition' was not to serve well my people and my coun try, and so knowing, I enter upon the duties with a feeling of profound difl- dence, but hopefulness and trust, that by 'arduous efforts I may in the end rise to full heighth in its requirements. To day the mantle which has fallen from the broad shoulders of Vance, Ransom and Jarvis is cast upon me. It being my fortune before to bear grave public responsibilities, and while to day this . is one of the sweetett moments of my life, it is also one of the most solemn, i I accept the honor with joy ; I accept the responsibilities with a resolution to face them bravely. I here pledge that, while like all men I have my personal ambitions, I shall always try to serve alone the interests of- my State, and here I invoke the aid of the Almighty to enable me to keep this solemn pledge." The joint session for the election of a Senator was the only specially nota ble feature of the General Assembly. A large number of local bills was in troduced. In the Senate, a bill was presented by McNeill to incorporate the Fayetteville Savings and Trust Company. - Anti-Cigarette Bill. . The Anti-Cigarette bill by Brown, which 'was to have been the special order on the call of the calendar at noon, was re-referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Brown gave notice that he does not propose to let it aleep. Many believe that it will not be heard from again. If it is, there is no show for its' enactment into law. A joint resolution of the House and Senate was adopted, expressing sym pathy of the people of North Carolina for England in the death of the Queen and extending to his Majesty, Edward VII , wishes that ties of friendship be tween . the United States and the mother country be multiplied and strengthened. In the House the following bills were introduced : By McLean, to allow Scotland county to issue bondsr; also, for relief of Scotland county. By Davis, to allow Henderson to establish a graded school.
