Special to Daily Industrial News. Raleigh, N. C., March 5. There was a spirited fight in the Senate today over the bill for Scotland Neck to vote on the question of prohibition, dispensary or saloons, instead of remaining under legislative prohibition as at present. The bill had been introduced in the House by Representative Kitchin and put through that body over an unfavor able Teport from the legislative commit tee. In the Senate the legislative com mittee also reported it unfavorably, but Senator Daniel championed the bill as the senator from Halifax and secured its passage, thirty-one to sixteen. The last speech before the calling of the previous question probably did much to turn the tide for the bill. Senator Blair, of Montgomery, was the speaker mid he Warned tho Democratic major ity that If this policy of depriving the people of. the right of local self-government were kept up .the state, or at least the sections discriminated against, would go . over ' to the Republicans. He as serted that as ' sure, as this bill failed to pass there would be Republican sena tor and representatives here from Hali fax next session.
