Raleigh, April 19. —Senator Kirk
patrick, of Mecklenburg, has intro
duced a resolution in the Senate call
ing for sine die adjournment of the
legislature on April 30, but if the
Mecklenburger seriously believes that
the General Ascsembly can possibly
wind up its business and go home by
that date he is considerably more
of an optimist than most other mme
bers.
Most members do not believe that
the legislature can get through with
its work before about May 6 at the
earliest, even if no deadlock develops
between the two Houses on the re-
