NO. PU. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY T LOCAL ITEMS WHAT TAR HEEL SOLONS ARE E0IN6 THE HARD YARN SPIERS SOR Stewart Divorce Bill Passes Hous Makes Five-Your Separation Ground for Action and Right to Re-marry Justice's Anti-Trust Measure Goes Through Without Discussion Plans to A mead the State's Constitution. In the Lower House of the Gen eral Assembly Tuesday the Stewart bill amending the divorce laws pass ed. This bill originally provided that separation for two years should be ground for divorce but the bill as amended by the committee and as passed by the house requires five years separation and provides that the party abandoned without cause shall have the right to re-marry. Ac cepting the committee's amendment Mr. Stewart made a strong plea for the passage of his bill, insisting that morality and Christianity were alike promoted by the measure. An amendment offered by Mr. Whitford to the effect that neither party be allowed to re-marry was promptly voted down. The House passed the Justice anti-trust bill, which applies the Fed eral anti-trust law to the State, en acts the provisions of the old Reid anti-trust bill of the 1907 session and provides machinery for the At torney General to enforce the law. The bill passed without discussion. Representative Bowie of Ashe sought to have the vote deferred and the bill printed; but the House voted for immediate disposition of the bill and It went through without any mem ber offering to make a speech. The House Committtee on i'ublir Service Corporations voted unani mously this afternoon to report fa vorably the Kellum resolution for the Corporation Commission to In vestigate the sale and subsequent di vision of the old Cape Fear & Yad kin Valley Railroad, Wilmington to Mount Airy, by the Southern and At lantic Coast Line, and report to the Attorney General, with a view to prosecuting and annuling the same. If In violation of the Sherman anti trust law and to avoid competition The bill to make uniform the crime of larceny, with an unfavora ble committee report, was called up by Senator Ivie, who exnlained that It was meant .to cure what he con sidered a great Injustice, in that per sons stealing small amounts could be convicted In recorder's court or misdemeanors, while anyone steal ing anything outside the jurisdiction of such courts had to be convicted of a felony and wear stripes and be de prived of their citizenship. Senator Hohgood, supporting the bill, took the ground that uniformity, not di versity, of laws was what was need ed. Senator Council favored the bill as long 'as there were recorder's courts. He was not averse to reduc ing petty larceny to the grade of mis demeanor. Senator Mason took advantage of the occasion to Impress upon the Senate the need of more Superior Court facilities. He thought the re corder's courts should be only tempo rary expedients. While not consid ering it to the best interests or tne State that any larceny should be a misdemeanor, he thought this bill ought to pass if the recorder's courts were to continue. Senator Nimrocks said there was no doubt that the recorder's courts were with us to stay, and that it was in keeping with the humanitarian tendencies of the age that those weaker members of society, who generally commit petty 'arccny, should be punished less severely than those who stole greater amounts. A plea for the bill was made by Sena tor Little of Anson, and Senator Bryant explained its force and spoke in favor of it. Senator Wakefield held that If it was wrong to grant any Innovation in the cases of recorder's courts, those laws ought to be repealed. He insisted that all larceny should re main a felony, and opposed the bill. WEDNESDAY. The Senate discussed at considera ble length the question of whether constitutional amendments shall be submitted to the people by this ses sion or by a special session next Tall. The committee report, con sisting of the resolution for a special commission on constitutional amend iaents, was being considered and Senator Parsons offered an amend ment that the report of the commis sion be submitted to the Governor, who shall send five copies to each member of the General Assembly 30 days before its assembling in extra session. This was adopted and the resolution passed its second reading without opposition. On third reading Senator Little of Wake expressed the fear that the ex tra session would be more expensive than a convention. He thought the Legislature at this regular session could handle the questions, the mala one being that of taxation. He mov ed the resolution be made a special order for Friday. Senator Stubbs Insisted it would be Impossible for this session giving proper consideration to the tax mat ter alone, and said that he had re ceded from his opinion In favor of convention when lie had been re minded that the proposition might "be defeated at the general election, and then It would be four Tears be fore anything could be done. The final action went over to another day. The Justice resolution declaring ' the views of the Legislature In oppo sition to the discrimination practle- SENATE DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS 6IVE MAJORITY OF TWO Of Xlne Xew Senators Elected This Week Seven Are Democrats and Two Are Republicans, Giving For mer a Majority of Two and the Presiding Officer Besides Both Branches of National Legislature Xow Democratic. President Wilson will have not only a Democratic House of Repre sentatives when he goes into office March 4th but a Democratic Senate as well. The membership now stands 47 Republicans and 49 Democrats, with the president of the Senate, Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall, also a Democrat. Tuesday there were elected eight Senators and Wednesday one. Or this number seven were Democrats and two Republicans. The Demo crats are William 11. Thompson, of Kansas; William Hughes, of Xew Jersey: W. M. Kavanaueh, of Ar kansas: Morris Sheppard, of Texas Key Plttman, of Nevada, and Wil- lard Saulsbury, of Republicans are A Delaware. The P.. Fall, of New Mexico, and Francis E. Warren, of Wyoming. Mr. Sheppard, of Texas, who was a member of the lower house, was elected to fill out the unexpired term of Senator Joseph W. Bailey, who re signed, and also for the six-year term following. He will succeed Col. R. M. Johnston, who was appointed by Governor Colquitt upon the resigna tion of Mr. Bailey, pending the ac tion of the legislature. Judge Cav anaugh, of Arkansas, will serve only until March 4th. filling the unexpir ed term of the late Senator Jeffries Davis. 1'pon the bitter's death Gov ernor Donaghey appointed Joseph N. Heiskell to serve until the legislature elected Davis successor. Fall, of New Mexico, and Warren, of Wyo ming, Republican, and Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina. Demo crat, were re-elected for full terms. With the election Wednesday of Saulsbury, of Delaware, the Demo cratic strength in the next Senate swung from the precarious figure of 4 , or exactly one-half the Senate, to the total of 4!', a majority of two. As the body stood before Salisbury's election Vice-President Marshall would have held the deciding vote. Contests still exist in the I eeisla tures of New Hampshire, West Vir ginia and Illinois, with a total of four Senators to he chosen, about whose political affiliations doubt ex ists. A victory in any one of these States would so materially strength en the Democratic party that the Senate would be completely removed from the element of uncertainty. WANTS BOND ISSl'F.

The anti-tlpping bill of Stewart of Mecklenburg passed the House 70 to 38, and was sent to the Senate.

Thursday night, Jan. 30th, the Men's Bible Class of the First Presby terlan Church gave a banquet and reception in the Armory to which all the men and boys were invited There was a large attendance and the event proved a most delight ful occasion. About one hundred and fifty guests sat dowo to an ele gant supper, and there were speeches music and feasting until a late hour Mr. J. W. Tlmberlake, was a most graceful toastmaster and directed the program in a very happy and pleasing manner. A number of songs were rendered by a male chorus with great effect and were much enjoyed. A happy feature in connection with the music was the presence of Mr. J. A. Page, of Clover, S. C, a former organist or the First church, who played the accompant ments for the songs. Much credit is due Mr. W. T. Ran kin and his comittees for the effective manner in which the affair was con ducted. Everything wag provided that could minister to the comfort and pleasure of the guests. The Covenanters, the boy's society of the church under the leadership of Mr. Harry Rutter, acted as waiters and served the tables with a neat ness and dispatch that would have done credit to the waiter's Union. The boys were right on the Job. The church Is proud of its bright manly boys, and feels secure as to its future with these boys coming on to (ill in the ranks as its older members drop out. The speeches were full of Interest, and though numerous were brief and so full of wit and wisdom that no one grew tired. Mr. A. M. Smyre, on behalf of the Hibln Class, wel comed the guests, and also the pastor Rev. J. H. Henderlite, and in a very pleasing way pledged him the sup port of the men and boys of the First Church. Mr. Henderlite responded to this welcome, and in a short speech outlined what was his idea of the office of a minister today in his re lation to the members of the congre gation, especially the men and boys. This response was chocked full or the choicest food for thought, told In the happiest vein, his points being aptly illustrated by the keenest wit and humor and established for Mr. Henderlite the reputation of a bril liant after-dinner speaker, In addi tion to the already high standard he has set among us as a preacher and a pastor. W,e regret that we are unable to print In full the happy and most interesting response of Mr. Henderlite. Mr. J. E. Page gave a brief re view oT the history ot the First Church and showed the splendid progress it had made since its or ganization on July 16, 1882, with only 22 members. He spoke or tne different pastors, W. E. Mcllwalne, C. W. Robinson, R. P. Smith, M. McG. Shields, and R. C. Anderson, and the fine work done by them in moulding the life and activities of the Church. Mr. Harry Rutter was down to speak on the Eldership at this juncture, but he was so busy mar shalling his phalanx or boys against the onslaughts that were being made by the guests upon the edibles ana satisfying their appetites, that he was allowed to beg off in order to give his entire attention to that more Important and pressing busi ness. Mr. S. A. Robinson spoke very ef fectively of the duties of the dea con, and what he could do for the larger usefulness of the Church in the future. He prophesied great things for the board of deacons with its new accession of strong recruits. Col. C. B. Armstrong made a very happy speech, short but pointed and rull oT pith and humor. Mr. W. T. Rankin spoke or the necessity or a larger and more up-to-date equip ment in the way or Sunday school room and other buildings in order to properly conduct the great and growing work or the ehurch. Mr. P. W. Garland spoke happily of the brotherhood that existed be tween the members of the church, illustrating his point with a witty single joke. He told of the crisis the church had recently passed through, but which It had weathered success fully, and wps now repaid for the waiting and long search for a pas tor, and of the era or presperity under our new pastor, and the brieht promise or the future. Mr. E. L. Wilson gave some very interesting history of the beginnings of Gastonia and the Presbyterian Church. He was well qualified to speaV, having been born and brought up here, and helping, toward the erection of the first store built in Gastonia. Mr. G. H. Marvin was called upon and responded In a most happy and much appreciated speech. As also Dr. L. N. Glenn, who despite his ap pearance of youth, claimed to know personally about the organization of the chirch, and proved his claim by his interesting recital of facts con nected therewith.' ' Mr. A. C. Jones made some very Impressive remarks, expressing his endorsement of an occasion of this SECOND ANNUAL SESSION HERE FEB. 11TH.
