The State took up the Turner bill
to regulate the management of State
prisoners. It provides that all prison
ers sentenced to two or more years
must go to the State's prison: hiring
out of prisoners is forbidden; they
must not be worked more than ten
hours per day; prisoners shall be
classified in three classes those prov
en to be orderly, those untried and m
corigibles. First class receive an al
lowance of 20 cents per day, second
class 10 cents and incorigibles noth

under sanitary conditions supervised
by the State board of health required.
A system of fines and a demerit sys
tem are provided ; on one addicted to
drink must he employed in the prison;
judges called upon to pass' minimnia
and maximum sentences and each
prisoner must be examined when re
ceived as to- mental condition and ca
pacity for work. The - argument was
j long and strenuous and in the end
the bill passed final reading by a good
majority, but went over for second
reading on objection of Senator Bur-
gwyn who wanted to await the report

His leisure time was . given up entire

He moved to reconsider and got the
-reconsideration through in -quick or

finally won out for the bill by a vote
of 69 to- 41 on .second -reading. Then
the bill went over to allow any other

Senator Turner spoke at length ad
vocating his bill and answered a great
numher of questions. He expected to
see chain gangs abolished before many
years. He insisted that there is a
great demand throughout the State for
the abolition of the present system and
said that the features of his bill cm
braced the mode advanced methods of
convict management and were being
applied in 41 States. He hinted that
when the report of the investigating
committee is made public the State
would demand action. Democracy of
whieh he was proud owed it to the
State to remove the blot on the civili
zation of North Carolina."
Senator Person spoke at length in
support of the bill. . He denounced the
tetioi -of -ie-prsenir.-fcBosatuTe fa
passing a special act giving Wake
county convict management author
ity to use corporal punishment.
An amendment by Senator Jones
would strike out "the section of the bill
requiring all convicts, "of two years
or longer sentence to go to the State
prison. He said it would keep con
victs in their counties to the Deter
ment of their health and advancement j
of the cause of good roads. However
the amendment was defeated.
Senators Burgwyn, PoIIock and oth
ers argued against the elimination of
corporal punishment. Mr. Pollock
had traveled Europe and saw but few
negroes and that this race in the
South, or that portion tliat finds its
way into the prisons as incorigible
prisoners must be ruled largely by
the lash. The amennehts to retain
corporal punishment were all iost, the
vote on the Justice amendment being
21 to 26.
The Senate passed on final reading
the fertilizer inspection bill and than
went into executive session to confirm
some appointments by the Governor.
Final recess was to 8 o'clock tonight.
to extend the suffrage to the women
of Lincolnton, on municipal questions,
was laid before the House and was
tabled on motion of Representative
Love.
The House took under considera
tion and finally passed by a good
majority the Statewide bill for the
certification at first grade teachers
through a State board of examiners,
six in number three men and three
women who are to be also the con
ductors of the teachers Institutes,
and carrying an appropriation of $10,
000, for the maintenance of the de
partment. It was urged at length
and finally passed by a very large
vote with an amendment for the Gov
ernor to appoint the members of the
board of examiners and institute con
ductors without nomination through
the executive committee of the I
conductors without nomination
through the executive committee of
the Teachers' Assembly. Represen
tative Kitrell advocated the bill as a
former county superintendent who
knew the needs.
Grier of Iredell, opposed strenuous1
ly on the ground that there is tod
much machinery that is expensive
and takes the money from the chil
dren to no real purpose. Beaurecracy
is absorbing the funds he charged.
Representative Dough ton expressed
surprise at the attitude of Mr. Grier
and advocated the bill strongly as a
step toward a real State asylum of
schools so much needed.

Representative Dalton ...that . his . hill
would tend to prevent any repetition

Representative Brummitt insisted
that the . bill would "gut" the State
election law and mafee elections in
the state a veritable crazy quilt.
Ray. of Macon, opposed the bill
with great vigor. He had supported
local bills for Mr. Roberts many
times just because Roberts wanted
them and he felt sure they were un
wise He knew nothing of any vot
ing in blocks under the State election
law. He suspected that the gentle
man from Buncombe Would ere long

scribed himself in a week.
Representative Widenhouse assum-
ed from the argument of Mr.. Ray that
he believed the bill would disfran
chise Mr. Ray and Mr. Roberts. If
that was the case he regarded the
bill as so meritorious that he would
heartily vote for it-
There were calls for the question
was put. It was 69
to 41 and the measure wrent over for
other counties to be added if they
desired.

La Creole Darkens Gray Hair
By Acting on Color Glands.
Try at Risk of Jarman &
Futrelle.
No matter whether you are bothered
with gray, streaked with gray, iron
gray, or prematurely gray hair, falling
hair, dry, dull and brittle hair, oily,
greasy stringy hair, dandruff or itch
ing scalp, Jarman & Futrelle drug
stores or any druggist invites you to
try La Creole Hair Dressing at their
risk. If it succeeds in darkening your
gray hair, or making hair grow again,
the cost is trifling, and should it fail
it costs nothing. If your gray or fall
ing hair is worth saving, La Creole
is worth trying. La Creole is harm
less no dye, but has the wonderful ef
fect of restoring the color glands to
activity, so all your gray hair is natur
ally restored to that even dark, fas
cinating tone you used to have. Be
sides La Creole stops dandruff and fall
ing hair and causes thin hair to grow
thick and new hair to sprout all over
your head, making entire head of hair
oft, fluffy, long, thick, evenly dark and
snappy with new life. Advt.
