At length, lifter years of agitation, steps, are under way to change the name of the State school for the Feeble Minded at Kinston. The new name finding' most favor is: "Caswell Training School.'', Moreover, a bill is being rushed through providing" that a name be elected for the old supreme court building, . which, has had no other title than that just' given since the new supreme court edifice was fin ished. -. ThePrlmary Bill The State prjniary took a run- ning stop" today at 2 o'clock without hy. "8rrer-i. and ' without; enough! any conclusion as to its fate before the House,,.. i If guesses were worth anything it would be easy enough to say that no primary bill of the character most written about, asked for and hoped - for, will get through the House. Pre sented on the sixteenth day of the session, its, chances are limited and if passed the measure will be mild. Speaker' Bowie again opposed any primary feature that will include the legislative ticket of his county. The bill presented by Mr. Vann of Union, over all State, judicial, senatorial and' legislative tickets without say ing fcraoe -to counties. The purely local county ticket may be removed from the ' provision of that act.

This much was tacitly admitted by State Department officials today, when they summarized thr situation as "full of dynamite' Hope that violcnoe will bt averted, however, was given in a brief mes sage from the Brazilian Minister in Mexico City to Secretary of State Bryan. This stated that Oeneial Ob regon had issued a military order to all sthopkeopers to open their doors and resume business. Fifty million pesos of Villa money, the only cur rency during the convention regime in the capital has been declared worthless by General Obregon. Rich and poor are prostrated financially by this order. Bread can not be pur chased and except where personal credit is well eslabli&hed the neoes sarieg of life can be secured only with gold or with the Constitutionalist money. At the State Department it was ad-r mitted that the situation has steadily been growing worse with communi cation both from the north and from Vera Cruz off at intervals and the importation of food suspended. Americans and other foreigners in the city still are able 1o secure sup plies through the international relief committee organized there, but trans portation of food necessary for the jiext law weeks is being h'ndered. TEMPERANCE UNION HOLDS A METING Interesting Session Took Place on Thursday Afternoon The usual monthly meeting of the W. O. O.

A solo was attractively sung by Miss Wallace, accompanied by Mr. Mary Willis. "Temperance Boys and Girls was obarmingly sung by the childrtn. The Union received much -cnoouragev ment from the fcplcndidQ report from the treasurer, Mrs. W, E. Bryan. Mrs. Thiot, vice-president, read the report of Mrs. Geo. Green, who wa a delegate from the Kinston W. C T U. to the hearing ' of - the Hobson Resolution in Washington, Deo. 22, 1915. It was a most cpm- prehensive report and all felt indebted to Mrs. Thiot for reading it. Mrs Geo. Green then gave us an illum inating aocouot of the work of being done by the Flying Squadion, whose meetings she so recently- attended' in Richmond, Va. The following is the slogan of the Flying Squadron , V'Whenevera'polftioian or an exe; oulive officer, or a political party, pre fer the liquor traffic above the publio moraU, uoh men mm t be set sside and Kuoh parties abandoned. ,. To the accomplishment of -his .high purpose we dedicate ourselves and unite all who are with ui agreed to enroll in this way." , Mrs. l uiot made a motion that a oommitteo.be appointed to draw up resolutions expresring apprtolat'ons of iVfrs. Green's Ufe, and work, , and in af ew well chosen words voiced the regret' of the Union in loosing Mrs. Green from her present' field of labor. But realizing that she is entering in a broader field of usefullness in the temperance work are glad to lend her and bid her God's, speed. ' The meeting was most beautifully presided over by Mrs. 8.
