Old Maps Displayed

Two cases of very old North
Carolina maps, dating back as
far as 1616, have just been put
on display in the lobby of the li
brary. They are part of the
North Carolina collection of the
library and reveal several inter
esting facts.
The western part of the state,
which was then Unknown, is left
practically untouched by most of
the maps. On a map drawn in
1719, a large lake, which does
not exist, is shown while anoth

Hacked and hewn by the
henchmen of the administration
until it was scarcely recogniz
able even to its proponents, the
much f ought-over Bowie-Cherry
bill eked out a somewhat
doubtful victory by passing its
second and third readings in
the House yesterday. After the
hectic session of Tuesday night
when the University of North
Carolina appropriations bore
he brunt of the controversy,
he lower group of the General
Assembly met in a quieter mood
yesterday afternoon to end the
ong fight by a compromise be-
ween the administration and
he Bowie-Cherry aggregation
in raising the Greater Univer
sity allotment to $760,240.
The sudden change in the at
titude of the House, which got
out from underhand in the fight
over the Barden-Cherry substi
tute bill, was brought about
through a series of caucuses
asting until Wednesday morn
ing which served to whip the
parties back into line. Some
strange maneuvering of the ad
ministration leaders even serv
ed to secure the vote of Tam
Bowie, the "economist," for the
amendment to raise the Univer
sity appropriations.
