wns received announcing us
concurrence ia ine resolution
to appoint a joint committee of
Conference in regard to redist
rictiag the-State, and anuonn
cing the appointment of the
following on the part of the
louse. . .
The bill to nav Solicitors f.n
annual salary was reported fa
vorably. Mr Ardrey moved to
amend by making the salary
$2,000 instead of 1.800. He
would vote for the bill, forget
ting all local interest, for the
salary of the solicitor of his dis
trict would bi reduced, and
onlv leoklntf to the interest of
the wh.ol8 State.
Mr Bellamy would support
4he bill, but he believed the sal-
aryvtoo small. . He believed in
securing the best talent the
State could afford and the sala
rv proposed was too small. But
he was glad this-bill was intro
duced. In many cases under
the present systam the Solici
tor's fee seemed too much like
"blood money." He enlogized
the worth and character of the
Solicitors of the State. He fa,
vorel this change. .
Mr. Butler was in favor of the
bill. Ke knew cases w-here So
licitors erred on the side of
right by lumping bills together
to save cost to tne countj, no
tably the Solicitor In his,' the
third Judicial, district. The
bill would be welcomed by
peoulo of the whole State.
William?, ot Pitt, cjeatea
Here was one iill, he said that
solely concerned lawyers. Ev
erybody would admit that.
They all favored it. It was the
first time in his life he had
ever neard of such a tender con
scTencje3s that manifested- by
the Senator from, New Hanover
Mr. Belamr. ' Blood money, in
deed, continued he, "Why, for
ihoDey, you can hire them to
prosecute and convict any man
accused of crime, and you
would never hear 'blood money
mentioned."
Mr. Ardrey interrupted the
Senator by asking him if he
would be willing for the law
yers to arraign the farmers as
he (Mr. Williams) was arraign
ing the lawyers.
Mr. Williams begged the
qxestiou and very ingeniously
replied that the gentleman (Mr.
Audrey) need not trouble mms
self to defend the lawyers.
They couldn't he hurt, and
needed no defense. . And they
were qualified In every way to
defend themselve. It was the
poor farmers of eld NorthhCar

One of the wisest, fairest and
most htlpful acts of leglsla
tion ever coming from our Gen
eral Assembly .will be (ha
passage of the bill introduced '
in the House by Mr. Hanry, re
lieving mortgaged land from
taxation to the amount f tke
mortgage. This aet will be of
more direct benefit to tht far
mar than to any other class of
onr people, as a great many of
the farms in the State are un
der mortgage to a greater or
less amount.
Under the present law the
farmer is compelled to pay
taxes npon landihat does not
belong to him, bat to the
mortgagee; the mortgagee pays 1
lazes also, and thus every
piece of real estate under
mortgage is doublly -taxed.
The State is, or should be, per-
xectiy satiahed iu getting one
tax on the full value of the
land without wanting a double
one, particularly when the far
mer is compelled to pay not
only the double tax, but also to
pay eight per cent, interest on
the mortgage. While such an
unjust law exists the farmer
will be always struggling in
poverty and the greatly needed
relief is coming none too soon.
The State of California has
already made such a law as is
embodied in Mr. Henry's bill,

The South Last Year.
Tbs Smith had in the year 1890
a period of prosperity without pre
celent. .It was a period of remark
able activity iu every department
of industrial and commercial enter
prise. Nearly 40,000 new prodacs - -tive
undertakings were organized '
during tbe year, and a large pro
portion of those organized in 1889
were carried to completion. The
assessed valuation of property for
1890 was greater by 1270,000,000
than to 1880. The cotton crop was
$7,313,726 bales, or 296,019 more
than in any previous year. South
ern cotton mills t ok 549,478 bales,
as against 266.000 bales Ave year
before. There was an increase of
279,759 spindlers employed npon
cotton in tbe twelve months of 1890
Tbe production of pig iron was
1,960,000 tons, or 1,000.000 tons
more than ia 1890. During the
year Ue South built 2,499 miles of
l I - i. rt l IfiOA
rauroau, against 2,iuo iu xoov.
The gross earning of Southern
railroads for 1890 were $100,894,
513 a gain of $10,604,047 over the
previous year. The railroad inter
ests of the South are more promis
ing today than those of any other
section of the Union. Much of their
prosperity iu the p&st year has
been due to the increased move
ment of Southern products intended
for exportation. The value of ex
