That of Senator Boyden teems to be 4he most satisfactory meaure on the whole. The result of this joint committee meeting (held in the Sen ate ebamber and very largely attend ed) was the appointment of a eub committee of five, on motion of Sen ator Brown, of Columbus, to examine closely all the proposed measures (in eluding also those-designed to apply only to certain counties) and report at a future meeting of the full joint com mittee. - Everybody in North Carolina is in terested in the question of what is best and most feasible procedure to secure as uniform and practical sys tem of good roads an over the State and the Boyden bill requires, aa sine qua non, that at the head of the State Highway commission there shall be a-competent, energetic engineer.

Next Thursday night the. House will take tip the measure to prohibit the sale of near beer and similar drinks .(including Kellum's substitute bill re ported yesterday by the .minority of the committee) and there promises to be a heated discussion of the subject. There is a disposition on- the part of some of the lawmakers to yoke np the near beer. joints and the social clubs handling liquor and try to put both of them out of business at the 'Sfffte time as far: as legislative en actment can do it.' But even they must feel discouraged by the evidence on every hand, even here in the capi tol building of the open violation of the present laws on the liquor sub ject. - ' , , LLEWaAH. Death of Hrt.
