LEGISLATURE
(Edltor'a note: We have asked
Representative C E. Quinn to
prepare a column for the, Times
each week during the 1945 session
of the legislature. Mr. Quinn, al
though very busy, has kindly con
seated to do so. In his column he
will deal especially with every bill
that affects Duplin County. Below
is the ninth of the series.
In the early part of the session
it wan predicted that lt would be
a short session and could or would
probably adjourn , as early as
March 3rd or 6th. Later on and
until about 10 days ago, it appear
ed possible that adjournment could
be by Mardh 10th. Such hopes
were all shattered during the past
week and it now appears that ad
journment can not be before the
16th. and may be as late as the
23rd, . ; . .'
The Legislature was moving
alone at a smooth Dace until last
Tuesday afternoon when the Sen
ate Finance committee kiiiea Dy
an unfavorable report the State
wide liquor referendum bill and in
the same meeting killed a bill in
troduced by senator A. u peruana
of the 33rd Snatorial District, al
lowing the voters of that District
the right to vote on the queslon as
to whether or not beer and wine
should be allowed to be sold with
in the District ; Senator Penland
produced hundreds of letters, tele
grams and postal cards from con
stituents urging the enactment of
his bill. After the Committee had
reported his bill unfavorably, Sen
a tor Penland made a forceful plea
on the floor of the Senate for the
removal .of his bill from the un
favorable calendar, whereupon the
the metlon was carried by more
than the required two-thirds vote.
Penland's bill waa placed on the
Senate calendar for consideration.
The final outcome as to the pass
age of his bill, of course, remains
uj oe seen.
The House Finance Committee
reported the' Revenue WU totte
on its first reacting, yn u r
ine day a number of amendments
were sent forward by the Chair
man, John Kerr, Jr., which were
adopted and the bill passed its
second reading without debate.
Things were then moving along in
fine shape an towards adjourn-
m..f ahnnt the 10th. but tninga
h?an to change. The Chairman
decided that one or more of the
.mminunti sent forward on
ThnMiiiv nfo-ht mleht be "ma'
terial amendments", and which
would place the bill on ita first
reading again. After the motion to
set the Dill dbck oji iw htsi rac
ing was carried, left It on the cal
endar for second reading Friday
During the consideration before
ho vote for second readme, repre
sentative Clarence Stone, of Rock
ingham County, sent forward an
amendment to place an aaaiuonai
tax of $1.00 per gallon on all wines
sold in the State. Then things be-!
gan to happen in quick fashion.
Those members strongest for the
legal sale oi liquors, oer ana wine
within the State fought the
amendment on the grounds that it
would set the bill back; and if such
an amendment Was to be offered it
would be in the form of a sepa
rate bill, to which Rep. Stone re
plied that ''it is impossible to get
any consideration on such matters
in the' Finance Committee and,
urged all members to support his
amendment. Stone called for the
previous question (which bars all
further debate) but for several
minutes . the debate continued.
whereupon Rep. Stone yelled out
"Mr. Speaker, I have called for
the previous . question sometime
ago, and the vote was called and
the amendment was adopted by
about a 2 to 1 vote." What will be
come of the wine tax amendment
remains to be seen.
It is a certainty and well known
to all that the majority of the peo
ple oi Nortn Carolina are not sat
isfied with the treatment they
have received from the Legisla
ture for the past ten years with
reference to the situation they
nave oeen piacea in ty the lerali-
zation of the sale of alcolholic
beverages In the State without a
vote of the whole State.

which draws a line between the
provinces of the State Superlntn

Controller, and which was amen
ded in the House and Senate joint
Education Cammittees, to make it'
satisfactory to all parties concern-j
ed, and reported favorably aa
amended, was passed by the House
and sent to the Senate, where the
amendments were removed, the
bill passed in Its original form and
returned to the House for concur
rence In the Senate amendments,
whereupon the House in a rush
promptly cencurrd. But, in a few
moments it was disclosed that the
House had rushed through ' the
concurrence and then Rep. Hatch,
of Wake, explained that he doubt

were aware of what had taken
place and made a forceful r-Va for

Funeral services were conduct
ed from the residence at 3:30
Tusday afternoon, the Rev. Will
lam Crowe, Jr., pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, - officiating.
Interment was in Oakdale ceme
tery in Wilmington.
Judge Bryan was born in Ke-
nansville August 23. 1870. His
parents were Kedar Bryan, of
Sampson county, and the -former
Miss Nancy Spicer.
He began to read for the bar in
Jacksonville, utudying under
Frank Thompson while serving at
the same time as deputy sheriff of
Onslow county. Following this he
attended-law school at the Uni
versity of North Carolina. He re
ceived his license and was admit
ted to the bar in 1891.
After six months' independent
practice in Kenansville, he went
to Wilmington in 1892 to work for
the firm headed by D. L. Russell,
prominent attorney. When Russell
was elected Governor, Judge Bry
an joined forced with A. G. Ricand
When Addison Ricand left Will
mlngton for New York City in 18
98, Judge Bryan ran the firm's
office for a while by himself, then
formed another partnership, this
time with Franklin McNeill.
The departure of McNeill for
Raleigh, where he had been ap
pointed to function as chairman of
the Corporations Commission disol
ved this partnership. Judge Bryan
practiced alone until 1924, when
he., took W,. Campbell into a
partnership which lasted until
1936. ;
At intervals during his legal ca
reer he held public office twice,
assuming the duties of City at
torney for two years during the
mayoralty of Irwin Moore, and ap
pointed in 1901 to occupy the
bench of the Superior Court of
the Eastern District of North
Carolina. This appointment was
made by Governor Aycock, as a
Special Criminal Court Judge.
He was married Navember 28,
1900.
Judge Bryan was a member of
the North Carolina Bar Associa
tion from 1896 to 1934, when be
resigned. '

conference committee was ap

The writer introduced two bills
last week. One State wide bill to
provide that School Principals
appoint monitors on all ' school
buses to keep order and preserve
discipline on school buses, this
being a step forward in the inter
est or snrptv ani msiMniina Th
other was a local bill to repeal the
closed season on taking fox in Du

of the General Statutes, and which

passed last week and many other'
State-wide bills were also enacted
into law during the week, even
though. In instances, the Legisla
ture moved backward rather than
forward. A number of local bills
were also passed during the week.
There are over fifty Stat-wide
bills and lots of local bills yet to
be considered.
Many unnecessary bills are in
troduced during any session of the
Legislature, many of which are
enacted inlp law and many are
killed. Some good bills are also
killed. It seems that some mem
bers introduce lota of bills in or
der to get in the limelight and in
many instances political ambition
is in the background. The writer's
idea of a good legislator is one
who endeavors to truly represent
his County and State with an hon
est and sincere purpose in mind.
The Legislature may adjourn by
