COLD STORAGE
FEASi FOR SCIENTISTS
Chicago, ept. 30. The fifteen hun
dred or more scientists from all parts
of the United States, France, Ger
many, Belgium, Austria, Russia and
the South American republics, who are
in attendance at the third Internation
al Congress of Refrigeration which
has been in session here for a week,
are looking forward with somewhat
mixed feelings to the big banquet to
be given in their honor tonight. As a
rule the only thing to be dreaded at a
banquet are some of the speeches f
which seem to be the unavoidable
conqomtnitant on such occasions and
which are apt seriously to interfere
with the enjoyment, if not with the di
gestion, of the good things prepared
for. the feasters in the way of food.
On this occasion, however, there is
another cause for misgivings. Ac
cording to previous announcement
every bit of the food to be served at
the banquet tonight wilj be of the
cold storage description and nothing
will be used in the preparation of the
banquet that has not been in cold
storage for at least seven months." It
is true that the scientists attending
the congress are all ardent advocates
pf refrigeration, but while preachiingj
refrigeration is comparatively simple I
and easy, it requies a consideable
amount of heroism deliberately to sit
down at a banquet table and consume
formidable quantities- of cold storage
food.

House and Senate.
Special to The Dispatch.
Raleigh, N. C.,' Sept. 03. In the
House today Representative Dowd
made a minority report from the com
mittee on Constitutional Amend
ments, favorable for the proposal as
to reading the Bible in the public
schools. Stewart, of Mecklenburg,
made the unfavorable report for the
majority.
The correspondence and report of
the Special Rate Commission with
the railroad companies was ordered
spread on the minutes of the House
through motion of Representative
Justice.
A joint resolution came from the
Senate providing for President Wil
son to be invited to deliver an ad
dress for unveiling the Home v monu
ment to the Confederate Women, in
Capitol Square, and it was amended
on motion of Mr. Dowd, so as to pro
vide for the President to be also in
vited to deliver an address at the
celebration of the 108th anniversary
of the Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence.
Dr. Gordon introduced a bill carry-
LinJ$O,O90 appropriation for- Central
Hospital for the Insane, Raleigh, and
$8,000 for tr?s Eastern Hospital for
Negroes, at (joldsboro. The appro
priation for the Raleigh institution
is to erect an additional building , for
women patients, a home for nurses
and a laboratory. Also $30,000 for

MINNEAPOLIS HAS
CHARTER ELECTION
Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 30 The
most intense interest is manifested by
the voters of this city in the election
held today which will decide the fate
of the proposed new charter for the
city. It is expected that a large vote
will be polled and both sides, the ad
vocates of the new charter as weil as
its opponents, are confident of suc
cess." A. most vigorous campaign has
been' cpducted by both sides and for
many .weeks there were daily and
nightly meetings at which the advan
tages ' and disadvantages of the pro
posed charter were discussed from dif
ferent points of view.
The proposed new charter, if rati
fied by the citizens, will establish the
commission form of government in
Minneapolis, and make many other
changes, more or less radical in their
character. Duluth adopted the com
mis8lon 'for mof government nearly a
year ago--and the opponents of the
proposed .charter for Minneapolis have
used; the alleged muddle resulting
from the. new charter in Duluth as a
powerful ;; ; argument against the adop,
tion of practically the same form of
government in Minneapolis.

Ovr Local Legislation Before Pres
ent General Assembly Delegation
From Southport to Flgfe$ One of
Representative Bellamy's Measures.
Special to The Dispatch. -'
SouthporV Sept. 30 A very large
percent of Soutbport and Brunswick
1 people are very much wrought- up
over some local legislation for this
county that is pending before the
special session of the General As
sembly. In the latter days of the.last
session two bills were1 passed, that
very much effect this county. One
was for purpose of. providing a coun
ty auditor and the other f of the pur
pose -of providing a recorder's court
or courts for the county. The bill
for auditor had a clerical error in it,
and has been held to' be of -no ef
fect. Representative Bellamy had a
bill passed a few -days ago to correct
fibls error, and a delegation from here
will go to Raleigh to fight its enact
r v . - v
rton before the Senate. The bill
names tne auditor and gives him a
ter of office of five years. Promin
eat men say that fully 90 per -cent. of
tsrwnswicK county iau to relisn , tne
ideagtthat one man is permitted to
select ' the county auditor and select
him for. five years. The county com
missioners' are not in sympathy with
the" new law, and this sunimer know
ing that the special session could
remedy the clerical error and allow
the newly, appointed auditor to take
his office the commissioners arranged
to have the books of the county offi
cers audited, and it is interesting to
noteNthat they didn't secure the serv
ices of the man named in Representa
tive Bellamy's bill, but another man.
It Is safe to say that the Brunswick
county auditor's bill will find rough
sailing when it reaches the -Senate
branch of the General Assembly
bill has interesting features that
don't appeal to many folka r In-tiiis
neck of the woods. The bill fixes the
salary of recorder 'between $,200 and
$1,800 per year, provides that a nice
office be fixed up for the recorder ih
lis-.
county courthouse, provides that the
justices of peace elect the Recorder
for a term of four years, and It is
remembered that the legislature that
passed the bill also appointed the jug?
tices of peace. It seems that therCi
will be a merry war on in regard it
this bill also. Both bills have sup
porters, but well informed citizens sayi
that more than a majority of the vot
era of the county are opposed to
them.
