Impeached Judges.
Ralkioh, N. O , February 28 The
Superintendent of Public Instruction
has prepared for members of the
General Assembly a statement show
ing the length of school terms io the
various counties in the State. It shows
that there are twenty-eight which
have as many as four months school.
Of these New Hanover leads with
twjnty-eight and one half weeks and
Durham is a close second with twentv-
seven and one half. The county with
the shortest time is Stanlev which has
only eight weks. Then there are
three others Yancey. Tvrell and
Montgomery with ontvnine weeks.
The statement was prepared bo that
the members of the Assembly could
vote more intelligently on the dtodo-
sition to provide that in the distribution
of State school aDnronriation the funds
of those counties having less than four
montns schoo ishali be supDlemented so
as to brine the schools ud to that limit
and the remainder be distributed ac
cording to the school population.

It is claimed by a number of well-
informed members who are opposed to
redi8tricting the State for Representa
tives in Congress that they still have a
good prospects of defeating the
movement The vote for re districting
last night was 45 to 43, and there being
such a wide difference of opinion in
regard to the best arrangement of the
new districts so as to assure their
Democracy, there is a probability that
the disagreement on this point will
bring about a sort of reaction in oppo
sition to redisricting at all.

cumulated from proceeds of the shell

only compelled the officer to pay a
portion of this fund.

FIGHT WILL BE LOCAL
State Senate Asked to Pass the
New City Charter Without
Amendment.
PETITIONS 4EINQ SIGNED.
Advices from Raleigh to Friends of the
Messnre Are to Present Strong En
dorsement of BUI as Originally
Passed Morton's View.
It developed yesterday that strong
local pressure would be brought to
bear upon the State Sanate to pasj
the new city charter, sent up from the
House, without amendment submit
ting it to a vote of the people of the
city or without other change whatever,
it being the object of those who have
interested themselves in this respect to
secure its adoption 'just as it passed
thftHonae, aad- it was- introduced
by Mr., Willard, who it is contended
by the other side submitted the docu
ment to the Legislature as officially
sent him by the Aldermen, while per
sonally favoring its adoption at the
polls by the people aDd with th-3 un
derstanding that- such amendment
would ba raada t the bill by Mr Mor
ton in the Senate
The form of tfcn locl fight is oy
petitions which were circulated upou
telegraphic advices from Raleib yes
terday and which were signed as fol
lows: "To the Senate of North Carolina:
"The undersigned citizens of Wil
mington earnestly petition that your
honorable body pass the charter for
the City of Wilmington In the form m
which it passed the lower House with
out amendment or change. The char
ter has received the most careful con
sideration of the City Attorney and
Board of Aldermen and is the develop
ment of practical knowledge of our
municipal needs. We are informed
that amendments have been introduced
and others are m contemplation,
which, if adopted, will seriously im
pair the harmony of the whole and
lower distinctively the effective force
and value of the charter."
It is learned that not only will the
petitions, of which there are four in
number, be circulated among the
voters of the city, but the King's
Daughters will circulate them for the
signature of ladies, it bfing contem
plated, as stated by one of the promo
ters yesterday that one of the amend
ments referred to will tend to continue
the practice of illegal liquor selling
and that another will be the abroga
tion or modification from the new city
charter of the provision restricting the
renting or lease of buildings to im
moral persons for immoral purposes,
which provision is a copy of an At
lanta law on this point, and one of the
best yet devised. Upon these repre
sentations of course many signatures
were received to all the petitions yes
terday, but it was learned that other
peUUoaa era being-framed controveftg
lng these contentions, and explaining
why they are said to be unreasonable.
In response to a telegram sent by the
Star to State Senator Morton last
night asking if there were other con
templated amendments to the charter,
he telegraphed as follows :
"There are a number of provisions
which would need amendment if un
derstood by people, but the only one I
contemplate is to submit the charter to
a vote of the people. The committee
will consider the bill Tuesday after
noon, and I will be glad to hear both
sides of the question."
The fight is one which will be
watched with' interest, and is one
which for the present promises to
overshadow even the municipal cam-

A LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE.
Organization in Wilmington Looking to
Betterment of Morals of the City.
The Star has intimated upon sev
eral occasions that an organization
had been perfected in the city hav
ing for its object the betterment of the
morals of Wilmington, and while no
names are given, the following state
ment from a leading member of the
organization, outlining the objects of
the society and the causes which
brought it into existence, will be read
with interest:
"It is a matter of common know
ledge that the laws forbidding the sale
of liquor on Sunday, selling liquor to
minors, and gambling are regularly
violated in Wilmington, and as these
laws are recognized as both just and
necessary for the moral welfare of our
city, a number or citizens, unwilling
that said laws should be longer viola
ted with impunity, have organized a

Charlotte Has Warm Municipal Pight.
Charlotte has an interesting municipal
campaign, in which the exciting cause
is the presence of two rival city execu
tive committees, both declaring them
selves to be the "only duly qualified,"
the one favoring the dispensary and
Mr. P. M. Brown for mayor, the other
opposed to the dispensary and favor
ing Dr. R. J. Brevard for mayor.
Neither committee will recognize the
other, and pending a settlement of
the question in the Legislature a warm
newspaper controversy has arisen,
which is con tributiog largely to the
"gaiety of nations" in that enterpris
ing burg.
