Lacy made a detailed answer before the Finance Committee ta the recent sensational criticisms of the management of the of the treasury by the State Board of Internal Improvement. His statement was to the effect that the report of the board did him great injustice in representing that while he had large sums of state funds in the treasury he needlessly borrowed other large sums. It was made to appear that he had $391,000 in bank and borrowed 300,000 more at 6 per cent, the bank re-loan in c it at fi nor ronf mna mat. ninn I.

An unfavorable report by a vote of j-u io 4 was the fate of the Weaver bill to amend the child labor law of me state so as to raise the age limit to 14 years and provide for inspectors to inspect factories under the direc tion or tne Commissioner of Labor and Printing. This was after a lengthy jumt committee hearing in the Senate chamber during which both sides were fully heard. ,J- This is taken to mean that there will be no change in the child labor laws at this session. !j .

That Dr. Vahn is to leave Meredith College will be a source of regret to all the friends of that great Baptist college for the education of young women. Dr. Vann has been an edu cator for many years. For fifteen years he has been president of Mere- aim uouege, and that institution has grown and flourished unde his ad ministration, being a power for good in its work and influence. Raleigh will regret that he will be taken from the city, as his new position will take him to Durham. As secretary of the new board Dr. Vann will be its executive head. His duties will have to do with the cor relating of the work of the Bantist high schools and colleges Of the state a position of the greatest importance in the educational work of the Bap tists of the state. , That the board has made a wise choice is the opin ion of those who know of the work to he done and the qualifications of Dr. Vann. He is in close touch with the Baptists of the state and he will be a tower of strength to the board which as one of Its duties is to have charge of the collection of funds for the four Baptist institutions of the state, with charge also of the matter of ministerial education.
