It proved to le tnr the increase of salaries of the attorney' general, the superintendent of educa tion nnd the State auditor. It occasioned much argument but waa killed on its sec nnd reading. As forecasted in yesterday's News and Oliserver, moat of. the representatives favored an increase for the Governor Some wanted him to. have t?,500. Mr, Pearson of Burke introduced a bill t: amend the $6,500 bill fathered by Mr Ferrebee so aa to give him mat sum Henry' Page wanted him to have 110,000. Messrs.

From these he quoted st length, showing that some 18 or 20 states of the Union paid their chief executives lss or no more than the Governor of North Carolina no receives.
