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 ing. Corporal punishment - was forbid den and separate ceils for- prisoners 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 FAMOUS NOVLISTS 80 YEARS OLD New York, March 1. William Dean Howells, one of America's foremost meofj letters who today is receiving a flood of congratulations on his eigh tieth birthday, , arose from comparative-poverty and obscurity and by hard work and the force of his literary gen ius attained the high plane he has oc cupied, for many years.

Young Howells learned to set type, but instincts toward literature were de velbped early, and at .16 he Was writ ing tfoems for the Atlantic Monthly. His leisure time was . given up entire ly $0 study, and he perfected himself in Latin and Green. When his father obtained a position as reading clerk in the Ohio legislature the young gen ius; took up correspondence for the Cleveland and Cincinnati papers, and during Lancolns candidacy for the presdency he wrote a life of the distinguished- Illinoison, which may or may not have been responsible for his sub sequent appointment as consul at Ve- the Tenth District and Madison conn ty and amended by the kouse cdm bittee to apply only to Buncombe, Madison ahd Henderson (Tounties aid that with an unfavorable report from the committee and minority favor able report led by Roberts, of Bruns wick. There was a motion to table that was carried before Representa tive Roberts realized what was up. He moved to reconsider and got the -reconsideration through in -quick or der and launched a long fight that 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 counties to have the.. bill apply. .Representative Brummitt asked -Roberts While he was pleading for his bill, if -the law did not already pro- nice.

"1 GXtorirlr. i T, trti. . J fQ Oil JJCLJ-J 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 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.

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. The House recessed to. 8 o'clock. Send tot booklet frpat. Sold nt all riWi und'Departtosnt Store.
