STATE LEGISLATURE.
Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 16.
SENATE.
Debate occurred on the appropriation
irl's Industrial School. Mr.
Day appealed to-the Senate to have
mercy on ihe tax-papers. Our people's
lands are-being! spld; they" are in rags
and too poor to go to school. He would
not vote for this bill nor for the Univer
sity appropriation. ! Mr. Aycock aslced
Mr. Day if ,hq voted for the World's
Fair appropriation-of $25,000. He an
swered that- he did not. but that he
would have done so if he had been here.
That money would not have come di
rectly from the' tax payers, and the ap
propriation ! was simply confirming the
action of the last Legislature. Mr. Mc
Dowell asked if he voted for the Guil
ford Battle" Ground appropriation. He
answered that jhe did, and declared that
if that question were left to . the people
of North Carolina they would also vote
for it, ."' v. ' " ,
Mr. Jones I offered an amendment to
strike out section 1, which increases the
regular annual appropriation from
$10,000 annually, as it has heretofore
been,- to $15,000. He took strong
groundragainst the $5,000 extra appro
priation; He said if the. appropriation
fnr durational Durooses were increased
it should t)e for the public schools. He
declared that this Leeislature must not
increase tne tax UDon tne state. , ii
must lower itJ
Mr Battle replied to Mr. Day. He
said he had many beautiful traits
of characterj but consistency was a
virtue that he Could not ' lay claim
to. He had been extravagant in voting
for other appropriations. He had poured
forth his eloquence against this bill
withoutTeing informed upon it. He had
showed ignorance of, the bill and of the
committee's Report upon it. He had
cast slurs upon the professors in charge
of the institution, -
Mr. McDowell - declared that his sym
pathies had been thoroughly aroused
in behalf ot this bill. It wasne of the
best features that had ever been intro
duced into the educational system of
North Carolina. Rather, than see this
bill defeated or cut down, he would
preler to reduce the appropriations of
other Institutions of the State.
Mr. Posey said that while endorsing
what the Senator . from Halifax said
about increasing taxes, he was forced to
differ from him on this measure. He
made a strong appeal to educate the
women of the State. Education of the
mothers was the one source of hope for
the youth of the land. It was not a mat
ter of sentiment; it was a matter of busi
ness, of right, of justice and of good gov
ernment. '
Mr. Fields said he was not opposed to
educating the women of the country,
but he favored economy. The Finance-
Committee was how endeavoring to
lower the rate Of tax from 25 cents on
the hundred dollars to 20 cents. He be
lieved the school could be maintained
on the original appropriation, and he
thought Mr. Tones' amendment should
pass. He would be in favor of using the
five cents tax saved for the public
schools ot the State. He favored this
bill with Mr. Jones' amendment
Mr. Owen said we had to confront
conditions and not theories. Reduction
of taxation is necessary and the people
demand it although they may tavor
education of the women. .
Mr. Aycock made a few closing re
marks in lavor of the bill paying a
tribute to Messrs. Mclver and Alder
man. Mr. Day made another speech
against the bill and denning his position
He said the men of the institution were
paid twice as much as the women. He
favored decreasing the appropriation by
reducing the salaries.
The vote was taken on Mr. Jones'
amendment and it was adopted ayes
87, noes 13
- The bill then passed its third reading

Mr. Long, of Alamance, spoke
warmly endorsing this bill: That the
Tomt committee of both branches had
unanimously recommended it. The
place used for securing the public valua
oie papers is oniy a note in the wall as
large as a coffin, secured bv an old
fashioned lock which any expert thief
can force within fifteen minutes. We
have stored away here two and a half
million dollars of old State bonds and
. the sale is about full. On the floor we
have $350,000 in vouchers. All these
should be secured by a time-lock which

. amendment which limits the expense to
ja.uuu. x am as much in lavor of econ
omy as any man on the floor, but this
Dill is In the interest of economy,
Mr. Satterneld said that since the re
ports ot the necessity of these valuable
public papers had gone out through the
State, thieves in a short time would be
among the papers; therefore the bill
should pass i without delay. The bill
passed its third reading.
The hour for the special order had now
arrived, and the bill to regulate the em
ployment of women and minors in cot
tony and woollen mills was read. This
bill provides that these shall not be re

, not apply to males over 21 years.
. Mr. Parker was the first speaker. He
said, if you cut down the hours the em
ployer will cut down -the Day. We oav
by the hour, $1.20 for instance for twelve
hours' work; if this bill should pass, we.
will pay only $1.10. It will also injure
the agricultural interest. Many mills in
- this State have suspended buying cotton
until this bill is disposed of; 200.000 spin
dles will stop if this bill passes. There'
' is no complaint among the employes,
They are very Kindly treated.
' Mr. Harris, the introducer of the bill.
made a very exhaustive argument for his
side. The committee who recommended
it are men who have cotton mills , in
their vicinity and who know some of t!
' evils to overworked employes.: , Many
I are required to work twelve and thir
teen hours per day. : -
