I tola him it would be the most difficult bill to enact that will come before thl3 body, but I will. do the best I can. The next day the bill was called up on Its second reading. , I spoke on the necessity of such a measure; or a continuation of robbing graves, having our sons indicted for body snatching and be disgraced before the world. I spoke for about zo min utes, and urged the necessity f of bulldlnsr colleges of our own, and not be compelled to send our sons to an other State to learn anatomy. Alter I was through, I was followed by the negro Lee Person, a Senator rrom down east. When speaking he was so excited that he foamed at the mouth, and denounced the bill as a makeshift to wreak vengeance upon the negro; I remember that marked attention was given him, showing how' eaally that body of men could be swayed. . A vote was speedily call ed for, and, the bill was saved by only two votes. I asked for the thira reading to be deferred Jill the next day, which was done. , I was in hopes that my talk on the necessity of having equipped 'medical colleges in the State would, prevent further opposition speeches, but I was mis taken..;. -. - . V - . The next day arrived vwith Its usual routine of duties which were gone through with, when the dissecting bill, which was attracting the close atten tion of every doctor in the State who was- Interested in medical education. Invdue time the bill was called up and put on Its third reading. Sen ator McCasky. from Martin county, claimed the floor; he opposed the bill In a telling speech; 'he dwelt on the poor old people who were to em' their days tn the alms house, where they could see in their mind's eye their poor old frail bodies stretched out on a dissecting table, and a half dozens medical . students standing around each table, cracking their ob scene and vulgar Jokes." During the delivery of this tirade the majority of the Senators crSned' their necks for fear they should lose a word of this eloquent speech, which was to kill the most excellent bill. When ' his speech was ended, I took the floor and appologtzed for saying more after my talk on yesterday. When , I com menced speaking,; I also walked over to where McCasky. was sitting, and after a few- preliminary remarks,- I mlngton. You got the money, but the State got no road; and If the State is unfortunate nough to have to pay this bogus claim of $1,800, instead of it going to Mrs. Brewer, It will go down Into your pockets to keep com pany with the shell road money. Mr. Chairman, I ask 'you not to -allow the State money to be frittered away, when the children of the State are needing schooling. I call for the question." ot a vote was given in the affirmative; and only my vote was given in the negative. So the Brewer bill was killed hy one vote, or rather died of shame. , Senator Atwater was regarded as the watchdog of the Treasury; he was careful to look after every . appro' prlatlon that was made, ' and not oj make any that could be avoided. M. Ray, superintendent of : the white Blind Asylum, invited me to look at the quarters' for the blind to sleep in. It was a large hall directly over the boiler room. He placed me hear the centre of the room and Superintend ent Ray stood near the west end and could shake the building so that I was fearful the house would fall. The whole side would sink ten inches be" low the wash board. I told 'him ' It was a fearful thought to have fifty blind boys in such a death trap; he said they' had no other plaoe to put them.

A most pleasing feature of the meeting was the singing of a selection entitled "Hold Thou My Hand." by Mrs. C. C.

I have. 1 mentioned in the former part of this article that my election would- be contested; so Just before the United States Senator was to be voted on, a member who had been electd as a Populist, asked me to support the Republican candi date y for the United ; States Senate, so that I could . get the Republican lawyers to defend my claims. It required a con siderable effort on my par.t not to spit in his face. I 'never spoke . to .'.: him again during the session. I found the said: "You. lhave made, the greatest people of both city and county wear- mistake of your life, In eaying the old and decrepid octegearlan and decrepld persons wno jiave uvea Deyona tne or dinary life time, will have five, -ten or fifteen year to look, forward, to the tirca when their frail bodierwill bo placed upon the dissecting table.

But-we want bodies young and strong, like the "Senator from Martin."" This caused a perceptable smile all over the halt; I saw the tide was turned; and I walked back to where the ne gro member Was sitting and address ed my remarks to him as '. follows: "Sir, If you are fortunate enough to get home when this session is nded, which I think Is very doubtful, your Own raee-will kill' youTT"vVhy, when we were striving to build up a ytned leal college here at home, bo that col ored physicians could bo educated here at home, you not only voted not to fallow all branches to be taught here, but without this branch your college would be only in name; then I warn you to beware when you Im pede the wheels of progress." j I then called for the question, - which was carried by a large majority. In a few days I received abundant congratula- lng a smiling countenance and In a good humor when I returned home, but they never acknowledged publicly that they were Indebted to me for not having negro police, as the towns In the eastern part of the State had.
