pointed by females br non residents,
which was adopted. ;

HOUSE.
The House met at 10 o'clock;.
Speaker Overman in the cha r, Df.
Carter ottered praye.
Few bi!ls were introduced.. The
only one of a public nature was by
Mr, Graves, to secure uuiufonnatorv
of school icxt books.
There was vuite a dii'ii?sioTi of a
bill to repeal the act of 1891 forbid
ding ticket-scalping. br, Vance
poke in support of the bill. Mr,
lYi'liaras, ot Henderson spoke earn
estly against it. saying the bill was
only designed to ivea job to certain
ppeculators. The bill passed its sec
ond and third reading.
The following bill3 passed their
final reading :
To change certain courts in the
Sixth district; to protect sheep in
Buncombe county by taxing doge,
the peoplo to vote on the question of
tax or no tax; to give the Edgecombe
Loan Association time banking priv
ilege." As a special order the House took
up the penitentiary bill.
Mr. Harris, as ohirman of the
Mouse CoSmitteo on 1'enal lpstitu
tlons. spoke iu favor of the bill,
which ha said had been prepared by
himself and the chirman of tho Sen
ate committee, aided by several other
members of the committee. He said
tbat t'ce present management of the
penitentiary was the best tho instN
fctutioo had ever had. . Yet there has
always been dissatisfaction with the
working of the institution. In 1891
a bill had been reported making
changes in the management. He
spoke of the time when the paniten
tiary cost from $90,000 to $100,000 a
year Now the directors have dele
gated their powers almost entirely
o one man, haying seeu the benefit
of the arrangement. They haye done
this without any specific law. Ho
asserted thtit there was great need
for a a; stem of government. Now
none of the guard or employe sre
under oath or bon 1. The old law
requires the the steward to give
bond.
Dr. Crous asked whether or not
the penitenti iry was self-sustaining,
and what were its expense.
Mr. Harris said no appropriation
had been made for this year, but that,
in 1889 an appropriation of Si 50,000
had mad? in order to rencc the pen
itentiary frelf-ssstaining.. There is
on the Calendar a bill making a con
tingent appropriation of $75,000 for
this year andT next -year, in case the
crops fail or there is no railway work.
Mr. Carraway offered an amend
ment making the salary of the super
intendent 12,000 instead of 2,500,
This was abopted.
Mr, Mooro' offered an amendment
requiring the employment or leasing
of convicts to be subject to the ap
proval -of- the diaectors. This was
i
also abopted. ' (
Mr. Robertson offered an amend
raent, making the superintendents
bond $100,000.. Mr, Watson, of For
syth, said this was excessive.
Mr Robertson said the responsi
bility of the superintendent was sec
ond only to that of the Stato Tress
urer. Ths amendment wa lost. .
There was quite a discussion of an
amendment by Mr. Kitchen to strike
out the provision that surplus pro
ducts be sold to the charitable insti
tions. Mr, Harris said that the lat
ter institutions had in some cases
paid fancy prices for supplies, the
Morganton asylum getting them at
25 per cent, less thaa the Raldgu
asylum.
Mr, Axley asked if the peniten
tiary had not expended $40,000 in
improvements on the farm.
Mr, Harris said this was an esti
mate of the value of the wvrk done;
the actual cost to the Stale he under
took to say was not over $3,000, the
work being done by unemployed con
v'cts. The State had not expended
$40,000. It wa a mere estimate.
Mr, Kitchens amendment was adopt
ed, Ti.c bill passed second and third
reading. .
Another penitentiary bill was tak
en up, this being to appropriate $75-,
000, conditionally, for the mainten
ance d' the convicts; in case the
crops or no remunerative railway
work is secured. The bill was re
ported without prejudice by the com
mittee on penal institutions..
Mr. Harrell offered an amendment
making the amount $25,000, Thia
was accepted) and the bill passed its
secoud reading.
Mr. Crouse said if tho managers
of the penitentiary cannot make 900
able-bodied convicts earn their own
living, they ought to rctiro and give
way to those who can,
Mr. Ray and Mr. Robertson said
they thought the penitentiary was
self sustaining.
Mr. Harris said it had been for the
past four years,
Mr. Robertson said it was heralded
all over the State in the last campaign
that the Democrats had made the
penitentiary self-sustaining. If this
bill passed tt was a flat contradiction
of all those statements, He opposed
the appropriation of a single dollar
to an iustitu ion which boasts of be
ing self-sustaining.
Mr, Axley moved to table the bill.
The motion prevailed overwhelming-
The House next went into cocsid
eration or the revenue bill, and held
an afternoon session at which the
same bill was under consideration.

A BILL FOR BFM0VAL.
Lillihgton, Feb. 28th, '93
Messrs. Editors : A very im
portant bill was introduced in our
State Legislature which I' think
should be watched with Angus eyes.
This bill proposes a no less Hercu
lean job than the removal of our Staje
University to Apex, etc, Now al
though the Bill has not met with
much favor yet still it may be revive
ed and passed verjT much to the dis
satisfaction of other towns i in the
State with equally high claims and
points of attraction as Apex. Cary
has already spoken out and non LU
lington would modestly though firm
ly offer her claims to the son? W
Solomon now congregated in Capit.
oban granite between Walnut and
Crablree. : :h
Apex indeed, Cary forsooth, Ral
eigh either for that matter. No sir!
No sir ! ' With all due respect these
village I say and I emphasize it, sirs
Li,!ington is Hie desderatum et con
cogitaum que Lfcus in quo; sine qua
non. no! us bolus.
Now .who can ainsay these unbend
ing gi'iratlerean fats. Now I must
not be understood -a? being animosi
lons to the places above named, but
then lock at the eligibility of this
place as a ieat of learning ty the
placid and classic waters of the Cape
Fear where tl)e Turkey Gobler gob
bleth, and the Honeysuckle perfum
eth asid the blended uotcs of the
feathered songsters float out in soul
solacing symphony' from every, hill
and every grove.
Well raoreoyer I think Apex and
Dunn ought to fairly content to with
draw their claims in fnvor of Liliing
ton, - Why? Imprisnis; they are
quasi Metropoli. . They are iu our
Metropolitan county and under the
shadow of the Capitol.
Now sirs suppose the University
should be removed to one of these
Towns would the act not be too cum
ulative in its effect Yea, yea, for
if a cyclone, earthquake or great con
flagration should come and demomol
ish ,hen what a disaster it would bs.
No sirs I No sirs I Let's have no
such heapiug up either of Ossa upon
Pelion. or Pelioii upon Ossa on the
University upon either of the aforG
mentioued Metropoli. No sirs. I
hope 3 0U will aid me with pens and
influence for it is indeed casus Belli
que casus Populi que vere pro Bono
Publico pro re nata hanpuillibvs de
monstrandum. Now 1 am not so. much agitated
about removal but that I couM be
picificaled, but if removal and noth
ing else will satisfy our Metropoli
tans friends I say Lillington, for
like the Greek who prefered his own
Ithaca to immortality, I am wedded
to LiBir.gion. Yet again . we have
other places with strong claims if
LilJinglon should not bo accep2ted.
1 iMd name Turners X Roads,
Summer iile, Bunns -Level. Turling
ton, Dunn and Averasboro, the 1st
ter being the awjnpp edged Ancient
seat of the Muse. If I succeed I
think 1 may modestly hope to go
resounding down the ages and may
exclaim with Honace "Exegi Ah.ua
mentum perennius aere," and with
Ovid him of the lengthy nose aud
fertile brain Exegi Opus, etc , etc.
Yqurs agitatedly and
sempiternally.

A Maiden s Fjrst Love.
Human nature has no essence more
pure the world knows nothing more
chaste Heaven has endowed' the
heart with no feeling more holy, than
the nascent effection of a young vir
gin's soul. The warmest language
of the sunny South is too cold to
shadow forth even a faint ont line of
that enthusiastic sentiment. And
proyidence has made the richest lan
guage poor in the same respect, be
cause the depths of hearts that thrill
with lovs emotion are to sacred for
tho common contemplation The
musical voice of loye stirs the source
of the sweetest thoughts within the
human breast, aud steals into the
most profound recesses of the soul,
touching chords which never vibrated
before, and calling into gentle com
panionship delicious hopes till then
unknown. Ye?, the light of a maid
en's first love breaks dimly but beaa
tifally upon her as (tho silver luitre
of a star glimmers through a thickly
woven bower; and the first flash that
m intlcs hor cheek, a she feels the
primal influence, is fami and pur
that whteh a rose leaf ratght out op
en mr.rblc. Hut how rapidly does
that, light grow stronger, and that
blush deeper nntil the powerful cf
fulence of the one irradiates ever
corner of her heart, and the crimson
glow of the other suffuses every fea
ture- of, her countenance. Wilioo
