From the Feb. 1, 1917 issue of the Hickory Daily Record
Raleigh, Feb. 1—The senate today passed a drastic law aimed
at the carrying of pistols in North Carolina, providing for a minimum fine for
the first offense of $50 or 30 days imprisonment.
Five educational bills designed to make uniform appointment
of school boards through the central commission; elect county boards, and
superintendents in all counties and one measure solely for Person County went
upon the unfavorable calendar today.
These were the bills which were heard Tuesday evening. A
conference this morning of the committee eliminated all, in the view of the
report today it is accepted that there will be no material change in the
educational policy.
The senate today passed a state boiler inspection law, with
a $5 fee attached and providing a salary of $800 a year for the inspector.
The open formula bill, known legislatively as the
Scales-Page or board of health patent medicine act, went to unanimous defeat in
the senate committee last night, only one senator failing to vote against it.
And he merely reserved the right to vote otherwise.
The house vote of seven to five last week looked
overwhelmingly enough but the senate was sores for slaughter. There will be no
minority report and the two houses may now work upon the Bennett senate bill
and the Grantham house measure which has gone through the upper body and waits
concurrence.
