Tonight the sen ate had before it only six bills for final consideration. The upper body indulged In pleasure and added the uuusual to the j evening session, starting at 0 o'clock, song and frivolity, humor and wit being B a part of the program. The first two bills disposed of tonight . created some debate. The first bill had i to do with corporate conveyances. Num erous senators spoke against it, several . of them lawyers. Senator Everett, of , Pitt, was tint footedly against the bill . as a daugerous piece of legislation, while 1 Senator Jones, of Mecklenburg, was even more against than the Pitt Senator. Sen - ator Jones felt the bill vjould allow a cor ■ poration. following the Injury of an em . ploye engaged pi working for the corpor i ation to deed away its property the next ■ day and thus prevent the man from re i covery, which was his right. The man in jured, he said, has to bring action within GO days, even though he may be in the i hospital at that time.

Hfs amendment, vfhicli he offered as a sub stitute, was lost, however, ns was the bill, when Senator Grant moved to table the amendment and bill and Senator Squires was with him on a second. The other three bills tqjk up little time and had to do with licenses for au tomobiles owned by United States sol diers and sailors, the regulation of gen eral contracting and the farm census. The general contractiug bill passed after a few moments of debate and on a close vote ,of 23 to 15, on third reading. The other two went ta their deaths, the first I by a vote and tne last by the tabling method. House Has Little To Do. Final session of the house opened with out anything to do. Principal Clerk Alex Lassiter, with his work up to the notch, rend the reports and the house cheered him. He had sustained his rec ord of never having made a material er ror in the office as chief clerk. Tfie house dwindling each hour, still hat) a safe working majority.

Clem ii, Wright, of Guilford, led i this fight and Miss Julin Alexander, eon -5 sistently for economy, h'ued him. The r house was ready to recant. But it could . not lift the bill from the table. Dr. Part, . of Anson, was willing to eoutribute per sonally, but not in the name of the state. He rebuked stinginess and parsimony and said he was a tax payer voting some of his gwn money for service. Dr. Hart took 5 the umbrage of it, hit back with a state t ment that he had made all the money that r he has, paid as little taxes as possible, . then turned and walked angrily away, !

The building occupies the whole of the south corner of E-temen ni-il. the terrace-enclosure of the Zig gurat. "Most of the walls are of crude mud brick of miserably bad quality,” the re port said, "often ruined right away and were standing at a height extraordinar ily difficult to follow. My most experi enced pickmen have, found their skill taxed to the utmost, to distinguish be tween fallen mud rubble and brickwork so soft that one can rub it to powder with one's fingers, but the floors are of brick well laid nn(l spread witli bitumen, looking like modern asphalt, and with their help all the outlines of the cham bers could be traced, even where, the walls enclosing them have altogether per ished. “The temple was built in its present form, by Sinbalatsu-Ikbid, an Assyrian governor of Us in 650 ft .C., who always seems to have been slpfi-t of cash for his building schemes ajuAdto to have em ployed the - pooaeiV' nrti terfalS. Fifty' 'years later Nebuchadnezzar-added, or re paired the buildings, and Inter again his grandson. Xabonidus, repaved the temple floors.” The report tells of finds made at low er levels beneath the temple of Nin-Gal that give promise of good results. “We have found,” the report said, “inscribed door sockets of several periods, inscribed foundation tablets iu.-black and white stone and in copper with texts of Kuri galzu, of Laras, 2072-2060 B. 0., and one of the 'earlies inscriptions found at Ur describing the foundation of the tempel by a local governor, ‘for the wife of Utu hegal. king of Erech,’ who was Suzerain of Ur.” Big Haul of Whiskey Made Near Ashe ville.
