It has in amendment by Alexander to include Mecklenburg county, and applies to landlords failing to furnish supplies ai per contract and to tenants leaving crops without good cause, also to per sons employing such tenants knowing they abandoned another's crop unlaw fully. McXinch insisted upon reference to the judiciary committee because it seemed to him it takes care of the landlord at the expense of the little fellows. The touches bill against rotten crossties amends Section two, chapter 163 Of the Laws of 1899 by adding the following: "From time to time the Corporation Commission shall carefully examine into and inspect the condition of each railroad, its equipment and manner of its management in regard to public safety and convenience and if any are found to be unsafe they shall at once notofy and require the railroad com pany to put the same in repair and also require all transmission companies to establish and maintain all such public services safe to that degree that is rea sonable and just The Henate decided by unanimous vote to postpone consideration of all liquor bills until Thursday of next week, and Fleming introduced a sub stitute for the Ward bill restricting distilleries to towns of more than 1,000 instead of 1,500 inhabitants. , The bill defining what shall consti tute evidence of premeditation in, mur der trials provides that it it was proven defendant had on his person at the time of the crime and immediately proceeding it, any weapon prohibited by law, such testimony shall establish pre meditation.

BeKelway Cs114 Laker Bill GtU ma TJ.reTerahle Report. Raleigh Post 1. " After a lengthy hearing, lasting three hours, last afternoon the house committee on manufactures ty the decisive vote of 22 to 2, decided to re port the McKelway child labor bill un favorably. The hearing took place in the hall of representatives and was largely at tended. Mr. 8. J. Patterson of Boanoke Bapidswas the chairman of the big delegation of cotton mill men, nearly 60 in number, who were here in op position to the bill. Bev. A. J. Mc Kelway was the sole champion of the measure. He opened the discussion with a spirited speech of 40 minutes. One hour was allowed each side, but more than this time was consumed. The speeches of the mill men were animated and lievly. The condition of miu operatives was represented as a great improvement over what they endured before entering a cftton mill, the employers are ever mindful and anxious to foster the comfort and ad vancement of the operatives, the pres ent law is being faithfully and con scientiously adhered to and none of the mills want to employ children un der twelve years old. Several of the speakers directly charged that the as sociation employing Dr. McKelway had for its secret purpose, though the doc tor might not be aware of the fact, the crippling or ruining of southern mills in the interest of the New Eng land manufacturers. All of the speak ers reiterated that there was a distinct agreement two years ago that there should be no further legislation on this question and several expressed the view that North Carolina made a great mistake when the laws of 1903, which may prove a dangerous entering wedge, Was enacted.
