Bukfton's bill to establish a Stat board of equalization for the purpose of equalizing the valuation of prop erty came up as unfinished busings from last night's session, and before argument began the Turner resolu tion, limiting the length of speeches, was) adopted. Buxton spoke In sup port of the bill and offered various amendments to meet objections rained to it last night; Hlnlr took ground against the bill, thinking that the State officers composing the board would know no more about the value f property In the various counties than the man in the moon, and he thought county boards of r'jualizntlon and county assessors were tho best judges of property values. He ridi culed tha State board and declared the bill was not worth the paper It wus written ou. Webb supported the bill, saying It was a good measure, and that It was one of the recommenda tions of the governor In his messago to the Legislature. Odeil said the bill did not entirely milt him, but he thought It a step in tbe right direc tion and would vote for It. The pre vious question was called. The amendments were adopted and the bill passed second reading. 32 to 7, those voting against It being Bellamy. Blair. Brown, Carter, Dawes, Long, Mitchell and Home. It then passed third reading and was sent to tho House. REID ANTI-TRl'ST BILL. The Reld antl-tru't bill came up nx another special order and It and the committee's substitute were discussed, Raid declaring that there was a great demand for antl-truit legislation and that tho platform of bis party de nounced the opposlilon for not favor ing such legislation. He cpoko at great length Fleming said he favor ed Trust regulation of a national character, hut believed the only legis lation this Slati' could mart would In jure North Carolina. McLean asked Held if It could be shown that the bill did not affect every trust, would he accept an amendment that would touch every one, and wanted to know further whether the Associated Press Trust was Included in the bill Reld said that In order to kep bis pledges and those mado by his party to the people he wanted to offer tho House bill as a substitute for (, bill n amended by tho committor, iljint this to save the very lifu of the Dem ocratic party. O'Dell offered an " amendment to Reid's substitute mak ing It unlawful for any newspaper agency to give exclusive se.rvU e In any specific territory. lluilesoti offered an amendment that the bill should not apply to any mineral or mineral product In this State. Fleming de clared the bill would touch only one North Carolina trust, rarnely the to bacco trust, and HsKd I c I 1 If It would toui h any other, to which Held replied that It would affect every bus iness which violate the provisions f this o't Turning to Fleming hn said It would affec t the tol.srco trusts wWoh he loved o we'd snd desired to protect.

Justice said his amendment inot the objection of those who have been oryin out against speculators In penalties, and that it cut these speculators out. but let (r the business men. manufacturers, etfl. He aectured that under tha proposed bill, there ecuUl be no- rscovery .of penalties ever $2fi on less than carload lots, no matter what the damage might be, and that there could not be recovery even Ihen wUyhout a long and expensive law suit. Business men ought not to be put In n position where their only leverage '.v which to force prompt shipment, or .my shipment at all. would be y A law nit. ami in ths event of gaining this, to get only fcl5, no matter whether the ac tual loss was 125 or 2VjO. Justice do i. lared he had met BIckett and those on his side fully half-way by his amendment and IT they defeated this, he gnve notice he would fight for the Henata bill. His amendment, he asserted mei the objec tion made by BIckett last week In advo eivilnir DrniL-hisn' amendment: that pen alty speculators were making tbe pres ent law a disgrace, but cutting these) speculators out, but not at , the samo time, as did the Douglass amendment, taking away from the business men their only means of securing reasonably prompt service, without an expensive ann prolonged nemy. uy law sun nun even after winning to get nothing. JX)lTGlASS' AMENDMENT. Douglass offered an amendment strik ing out section i, naming penalties for non-delivery of cars and leaving this matter to regulation by the corporation ommisslnn. This amendment was put to n vote and lost as was ono offered by Carter to strike out u and substitute i in section 1'. The amendment offered by Justice as a substitute for section 4 was adopted. 7-1 to This displaced that section of the comlnlltee I 111 relative to penalties for delayed delivery, as amended on the uee rnd reading by the Douglass amendment. The Justice amendment as adopted Is In the following words: Section 4: That In any suit or penalty or penalties brought before a justice of the peace or In the Huperlor Court under section of the Helsal, no greater amount shall be received lhan IJ5 per i.sv as a penalty, but In nddition thereto the persons Injured may recover the amount of the damages sustained by the per. ii, persons or corporations having the rlRht to bring the action. One action may be brought for a penalty or penal ties, and a separate action for damages or one action may be brought for both; provided, however, that when the dam ages are wholly or in part due to loss In business or unearned prowls, or are of a character known as speculative, evidence of this class of damages and all the clr c.mstanceN connected with the matter In uuestloti shall bo received, and in such ef. the Jurv shall lie allowed to render verdict for such nmount as It may deem l loper and eip ltatde under all circum stances, and siiiTlc.ent to cover damages, both actual and what are known In law as speculative and In such cases, the Jury uinv uKsess not more than f'.'B as penulty end If Judgment for penalty has already I ecu recovered In another action, the jury may alsc receive evidence of this and take It Into consideration hi render ing a verdict." The bill then passed Its third and filial reading by a vote of 71 lo .'7. The following bills passed: To allow Insuianre companies having n mpllal of tlOO.nto to Invest securities In tir h manner as may be piescrllieJ by ihe Insurance commissioner.

KOONCH HUFFOKTB IT. '-,-, Kconce, supporting the hill, said It was wrong to have a law which nut one class of men above another and that a civil Judgment was ao remedy against most editors. lie said he had no malice against an editor since last summer wnen one wronged mm,' put he nsa sain ned tho sditor so badly .that ha thought the latter would do better during the re mainder of his life. Julian asked Koonce it ne nad any newsnaner in his county and Koonce said there was a trl-weekly which tried to get out one a week, but did not appear more than once in four weeks. Harshaw said that In v ew of all the good things editors had said of members of this legislature, be thought It the height of folly and ingratitude to now seek lo throw a firebrand iimomr them and that it was not a man In tho Legislature who had not Drobablv in duced some good-natured editor at home to tell a little He In his favor. Dowd said the North Carolina Dress had asked for no special privilege and that the law, was a most unanimously recognized as fair and Just to the press. Men rankling under a grievance or a fancied grievance, should not condemn a law protecting a great institution, on account of Isolated Instances. There came a time in the life of every editor when he had to fight not orly wrong, hut wrong-doers. It was iniquitous to put In the hands of such men a weapon by which these wrong doers could suppress free speech and by a threat of prosecution or Indictment practicully placed a premium on black mail. Kltchin offered an amendment providing that newspapers shall, when ever any publication appears, touching the personal character of any citizen print the direct source from which they got the Information, the penalty for vio lation of this to be a fine not less than $&oti or not over $1,000 or imprisonment not lesa than 30 duys or over VI mlnths. He spoke in support of his amendment which Dowd strongly opposed, saying It would be Infinitely better for the public f;ood to repeal ubsolutely the present aw rather than to pass such a muzzling amendment as this. The amendment was then voted on and failed. 21 to 64; Dou glass' substitute was lost, 17 to f9, and then on motion of Brewer the bill waa tabled, 47 to 61. A f tor noon Session.

Any local bills for protection of game fish, oysters and clams were passed. There was a spirited discussion of the bill to remove capltol of Mitchell county from Pakersvllle to Altapaso.

"One may term this tho Es culine Oato of London," suys old Puller. "Hero one may hear llnguas Jurgat rices."
