generally avaiiea themselves of its
privileges and appreciated the same.
inasmuch as they have remained by
invitation to the Sunday afternoon
services regularly held in the room
The committee recommends that, while
the holding of the usual services the.
temporarily, has been in every respect
quite satisfactory, and has served to
make the Sunday services less formal,
that the second story of the old
Bethel, which was formerly used as a
hospital ward, and which is nowed
in emergencies for beds, be nronerl.
prepared and used for Bethel services.
Uapt. James I. Metts and Mr. James
Sprunt, composing the committee on
Rental and Repairs, stated that the
two stores in the building had been
rented for $430 per year each, and that
the home had been let to Mr. Chrisvjf-
fersen for $360. Tae Mt. Tirzih prop
ertv has not been rented or leased.
The repairs to all property during the
past year amounted to $19. 85.

Committee Has Decided Unanimously Not
to Report on Dockery Contest.
The Stab learns authoritst'""- uat
Election Cot Wo 2, before
uien the Dockery-Be&lamy election
contest was heard, has decided unani
mously not to make any report on the
case. This action leaves Hon. Jno. D.
Bellamy in undisturbed possession of
his seat in Congress from this district
and vindicates the position that he took
in his brief before the committee at the
hearing. A Washington correspon
dent says the fact that Dockery did
not at any time allege that he (Dock
ery) was elected had much weight
with the committee in reaching a
unanimous conclusion.
The news of this disposition of the
contest will be received with the ut
most satisfaction by the numerous
friends of Mr. Bellamy, not only in
Wilmington but over the entire dis
trict. Of course Dockery will not get
the usual $2,000 usually allowed de
feated candidates to make the contest.

cided to admit ladies free with every
person holding a 30c ticket at the

Aycockfs Text Book Bill Passed
Aycock's text book Dm passed its
final reading in the House to day ,F and
is now ready for ratification. No
amendments were adopted in the
House or Senate. It came up as the
special order at 11 o'clock. There was
nearly Riree hours discussion. The
principal Sght was for exemption of
various graded schools. Mr. Roun
tree was the principal speaker against
all the amendments. He said Wil
mington has one of the finest, best
managed graded school systems in the
state, out ne wants tne AycocK law to
apply there, just as elsewhere. The
amendment exempting Statesville and
requiring old text books to be ex
changed far full value was voted. As
soon as the bill passed, new bills were
introduced, that schools in Asheville,
Statesville. Charlotte, Kinston, Balis
bury and Hot Springs be exempted
from operation of the law. These were
referred to the Education Committee
The general impression is that all will
receive unfavorable reports and fail to
pass. The bill passed to extend the
time for registration of land grants
three years from January, 1901.
The bill to pay State prison guards
$20 instead of $15 per month was under
discussion when the special order, the
Aycock bill, was called up. No action
was taken.
Other bills introduced: By McLean.
to appoint a cotton weighe at Lauria-
bvirg. By Nicholson, to allow Beau
fort county to levy a special tax. By
Nash, to provide water works for
Elizabeth City.' By Speaker Moore,
to apportion congressional districts.
In the Senate the following bills
passed second reading: To amend the
charter of Smithfield; to prevent stock
running at large in Robeson county,
Bills passed final reading:- To an
thorize Brunswick county to lew a
a special tax ; to allow' Wilson county
