From onr Special Correspondent
Raleigh, N, C. Feb. 17, J 887.
Metsrs. Editors : ' .
Mr. Ewart has introduced anew bill to
create a railway commission. It provides
that the question shall be submitted to a
vote of the people of the State the first
Tuesday in -August, lo87vegalates the
machinery .under which said election is
to be held. If a majority of the votes are
cast in-favor of the commission the latter
is to be at once established. The Gov
ernor shall appoint three commissioners,
to hold otbee until tne nrst Monday in
February, 18S9, one of whranmust be of
dutlereni ."political par5 man .too
appointing power. The salary of each to
be 12,100. to be paid from the State treas
ury. . A clerk to be allowed tne commis
sion, at the salary of $1,200. The sections
prescribing the duties of tne commission
ers are practically the same as those in
the bill which was discussed last week.
Section 5, which was considered a harsh
provision, is modified by a proviso, 'that
in fixing all rules and regulations as to
freights and passenger tariffs the com
missioners must consider the financial
condition of all roads and establish just
and equitable rates." At the next re
gular session of the Legislature the Gov
ernor must appoint three commissioners,
who are to be continued by tbe Senate,
whose term of office shall be four years
from date, and whose main office shall
be at Raleigh.
Mr. Pearson's County Government
Bill.
This bill bos been before the committee,
which has, through Mr. York, made a
favorable report. It provides for the
abolition of the joint board of county
commissioners and magistrates, to take
effect December 1, 1887. It vests all rights
and powers of the joint board in the
board of county commissioners. It pro
vides for a popular election for county
cornmisMionerp in each county, to be held
the first Monday in November, 1888. It
provides that the county commissioners
so elected shall give bonds, the penalties
thereof to be one-fifth of the tax levied
for county purposes in the fiscal year
preceding the filing ol sucb bonds. J He
bonds are to be approved by the probate
judge of the county in which the bond is
given. Appeals to the Superior Court are
allowed. Tbe act w to be in force only
atcer its rauncation and approval by a
popular vote, to be taken on the first
Tuesday in November, 1887, in the re
gular form prescribed for voting on con
stitutional amendments.
The Agricultural and Mechanical
College.
There has t een a great deal of earnest
and excellent work done to secure tne
establishment of tbe Industrial School.
After two years' effort it was secured.
after . a regular fight with the Board of
Agriculture.- it would - pr$ab!y aave
been built by that board by midsummer.
But the two farmers' conventions met
and put matters concerning the board in
a new light. They demanded the esta
blishment of an Agricultural College, to
be maintained by the sum in excess of
the actual needs of the Department of
Agriculture and -tne $7,oU0 which now
goes to tbe University the interest -on
the land scrip. At the farmers' conven
tions the promoters of the industrial
school and the farmers quickly came to
gether and "pooled their issues;" in other
words they saw that an agricultural col
lege would be of little value without a
department of mechanics. The two go
together naturally in these days. So it
wo a ha K Ttf.f, rmla nlloTo tl
was that the "North Carolina College of
Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts" was
agreed upon. It will be on the model of
the best of those institutions in the coun
try and it may be said now that the esta
blishment 01 the college is practically
certain. The bill has been presented and
is being considered jointly by the House
committee on Education and Agriculture,
Those committees have had the benefit
of much valuable advice and infoima
tion. Last night both committees and
the special committees of the farmers'
conventions met together. The general
public also heard the discussion of what
is certainly a very important subject
Mr. teaser presided and Senator rem
berton was secretary. Mr. W. S. Prim
rose, a thoroughly practical and well in
formed man, (he was the able president
1.1 -. . , . ... v -.
01 me oiaie .Cixputsuionj was called on
and epoke warmly in favor of the project
He said the agricultural and mechanic
arts unite naturally toeether. He had
made careful calculations and had found
that the cost of establishing the Agricul
tural and Mechanical College would
approximate $65,000, and that its yearly
cost would be $ 19,000, though the latter
could be reduced somewhat. There is
available now about $26,000, much of it
in ca6h subscribed by Raleigh. The de
partment of agriculture was formerly
given ail the fund arising from the sale of
icruiizer licenses, averaging ?4o,000,
whereas it now gets a sDecifie annronri.
ation of $20,000 annually. This ieayes a
margin of $ 25,000 available, to be used, if
desired, for the maintenance of the pro-
p1 wugo auu aiBu ui wie uuxeau oi
abor statistics. The latter is Dracticallv
certain of creation. It is practically de
manded by the Knights of Labor, and
there is a desire that Mr. J. M. Bronoh.
ton, of this city, one of the leading mem
bers of that order in the country be put
at the head of the new department.
- A Grand Plan of Improvement.
Certainly the present Lecislatura i
doing a grand thing in settine on foot the
scheme of development of the east by the
act aiding the State Board of Education
in constructing and completing canals and
roads. These canals and roads will form
a network over 13 of the fairest and most
fertile of the rich counties of tidewater
North Carolina. They will extend from
the Dismal Swamp aU the way to the
South Carolinajline. Thejplan is to dig deep
and broad canals (60 feet wide) for use in
enabling vessels to navigate, that section;
and not only that, but to so construct two
of these canals, at least, that they shall
form part of the inland water-way by
which the coasting vessels of the North
Atlantic may hnd a safe passage and thus
easily avoid the dangers and delays of
Cape Hatteraa. . The roads will extend
straight through the swamps, "bays," or
pocosins, and as a canal will extend
along either side of these roads (formed
when the dirt is removed with which to
construct the roads) they will thus serve
the double purpose of draining tbe coun
try and forming thoroughfares for ve
hicles. There are over a million acres of
State Swamp lands in that section, and
Kpriipr riavnlrmincr ihpfin vncf. Vmllpa tha
system will make available twice as much I
more of private land3. It is an immense '
plan, broadly conceiyed, and will be put
in operation under, the management of
mat able engineer, lien, vv.tr. Lewis, to
whose good ludgment much of the good
results already p.rhieved is due. The act
allows 325 convicts. The work may i
quire ten years' steady work before it is
completed; where private proj erry is ben-
ented its owners mnst pay. This is tne
first recognition of the .claims of the eas
tern section of the state upon the com
menwealth. in the way of material de
velopment It is an offset to the work
done year after year for seventeen years
in the west. .It will bring about as great
an improvement in the east as the miles
upon miles of railway have wrought in
the west. The west was a terra incognita;
the east is. The great force of convicts
which in a few months will be put at
worit mere will change the whole state
oi affairs: tbe unknown will become the
known; the inaccessible will become the
accessible. To their honor be it said.
that most of the western -members were
earnest in their efforts to secure the pass
age, oj this bill, which, is now a law. -

In the House to-day Mr. Ewart l'htro
duced a resolution which was set as ..a spe
cial order for next Wednesday night, and
is certain to cause a great debate. It di
rects the Attorney General to institute pro
ceedings at once against nearly all " the
railway companies in the State, for their
neglect or disregard of the act of 1S71
which requires them to report annually to
the State Treasurer. The resolution sets
forth the fact that the amount of such pen
alties now reaches $i2c,ooo. lhe sum
the Attorney General shall so sue for and
recover is to be devoted to the school
fund. Mr. Ewart had in his handSh and
showed your correspondent, a little batch
of reports, perhaps a dozen, which were all
ne said the treasury had received since
1871.

Reports from the country indicate that
there is at this time more than the usual
amount of sickness prevailing. Meet of
these troubles seem to arise from an im
pure condition of the blood, caused bv
an excessive secretion of bile. This
causes fevers of a bilious character, and
we regret to say that in some places it
has proved very fatal. We therefore
offer this gratuitous advice to those not
yet afflicted: Keep your liver in a
healthy condition, and your blood rich
and pure. Good blood means good
health, whilst bad blood bad health.
Hart's Blood and Liver Pills are entirely
vegetable and are just the pills needed
at this season of the year.
