Below is given in part a record or the proceedings of tbe General As sembly since Tuesday as compiled from the report in The Raleigh Times: The investigation of the State's taxation system, suggested by Gov ernor Blckett In his inaugural ad dress, is provided for in a resolution introduced In the Senate by Warren of Beaufort county Tuesday morning.

Henry Page "cast a State-wide bill providing for the election of county boards of education into the House Wednesday morning and Represent ative Griffin of t'howan dropped a State-wide slock law act into tbe aniA trlhiinsil nhnnt the. same time. ' Thus two of the most troublous measures yet offered are in the com mittee rooms. The Page measure was the warmest of the party ques tions that came up two years ago. and. he went down in a narrow ma jority of the party caucus. As for the Griffin bill, putting; the stock law upon all the easterners, nothing could raise more thunder. The Page act is simple and short. It merely provides for the petition by majority of the qualified voters in a county for an election upon this is sue, three members of the school board being chosen. They will be elected, one each two years. The Re publicans are jubilant over the re ception of their favorite act. Tbe House also has another trouble-producer. Representative 4fcob erts of .Buncombe Introduced a bill amending charters whereby women will be allowed to vote in city elec tions. Tbe women will be here soon to help the act along. Mr Roberts put through his bill reimbursing Mrs Nolan Knight for the $49.05 which she spent in the contest over her "office" as notary public. Those old-timers the bills amend ing the law In regard to the privy examination of married women and doing ditto for the usury law were introduced in the upper house of the General Assembly XVednesday morn ing, Jones of Kuncomoe being spon sor for both. Cranmer ol Brunswic had two bills amending the banking law as contained in the 1905 Reviv al. Jonas of Lincoln, who was later to figure in the only thing resembling a real ripple on the surface of tbe senatorial waters. Introduced a bill providing for the care of public school children on playgrounds. Shortly afterward he successfully un dertook to amend a bill amending the act abolishing the office of county feasurer of Lincoln. He opposed the passage of this bill, itself: but tue democratic majority passed it over his protest. Tbe bill requires of the bank acting as depository for the county fundi to pay 4 per cent Interest on the monthly balances. The senator from I ' h --n-gr' tht tht was. In no bank's taking the deposit and a f.,i . a. . uu.u made ueces sary. Under the original act no in terest was charged the bank. Brenizer of Mecklenburg cham pioned the bill for Representative Lore of Lincoln, who Is a Democrat. Among the bills introduced in the Senate Wednesday were the follow ing: Tucker To-, amend 2081. 1905 Revisal relative to marriage ceremo nies, i Jones To amend chapter 92.

ADMIRAL IHAVKY lKAI. Hero of Manila Ray Hies at Ad nnciil A;te Wan Only Admiral in Amer ican Navy. ALDINGTON. .Ian. I . Adinrr :j1 Dewey, the nation's Spanish war iieio mid by priority of grade the ranking naval oflicer of the worm, died at his home here today in Ins eightieth year. II- bad not been conscious sime yesterday, when lie lapsed into coma, still believing that in a few days he would be baci a; his desk in the navy department. A general breakdown accompanied by arterio-sclerosis incident to old iige w as the cause of death. The dis ease had been gradually spreading its hold upon the powerful body for a year and a half, but the admiral, proud ol his physical vigor, had fought it off and even kept its ex istence a secret from most of his in timate friends. Last Wednesday he was at his office, apparently hale and hearty. The next day he collapsed as he was preparing to leave the house, and the beginning of the end wat; at hand. The admiral died at .. :."iii o'clock. President Wilson and Secretary Daniels were notified at once, and tile news was Hashed by wireless to American naval vessels and stations all over the world. The message car ried orders that all (lags be put at hah' mast. Only two other men Karragu; and Porter have held the rank of admiral of the American navy and since Civil war days no military figure has held such a place as Dewey in the affections and admira tion of the American people. His death ended sixty-two years of active service. His baptism of fire came in the Civil war, through which he served with distinction. Promotion followed promotion during the years following and he was a commodore commanding the Asiatic fleet wnen tiie orders "capture and destroy the enemy's fleet" gave him the first news of hostilities with Spain and sent him into Manila bay for the feat that won undying fame and had far reaching effect upon the position of the I'nited States as a world power. Immediately Dewey was advanced to rear admiral, and then congress, by special act. made him admiral of the navy, a grade that died with him. Since 1!H)0 he had been on duiy at the navy department as president of the general board, constantly in touch with all activities of the navy, adviser of secretaries and a mighty champion of a great fleet. Year after year the general board urged the building of more ships than con gress would agree to, until at the last session a great building program based on its recommendations Anal ly was adopted. t was because of the admiral's keen aversion to any suggestion that his health and strength were failing that the naval physicians attending him agreed with the family to mase no announcement of his condition after the attack Thursday. It was given out that the admiral had a cold and until Sunday even the doctors hoped that he might master the dis ease. Yesterday his condition had become so serious that the facts no longer could be withheld. Clara Kimball Youn: in flrial Wife" Ideal Monday. 'My Of- White Slavery and Vice Exposed. (Press Notice.)
