THE ASSIGNMENT LAW.
The great "right" occasioned by
the "Assignment Law," as pasaed
by the recent Leffislature ia about
fading into inaignificanoe. The
agitation in the main, waa, doabt
leas, more for political effect than
actual fear of the consequences.
The decision of the Supreme Conrt,
handed down last rnaay on a
specially prepared case, tends to
- W w
support the assertion. The decis
ion, in substance, is as follows:
The court holds that the act is
limited to conditional sales, assign
ments, mortgages and, deeds ia
trust made to secure pre-existing
4ebts and obligations, and tht
mortgages of the nature of the one
before theicourt, growing out of
the transaction itself and executed
for a presect consideration, do not
come within the operation of the
act. The act was not intended to
embrace transactions when the
debt grows out of the transaction
itself, and is for a present consid
eration.
The" decision will at once liftthe
injudicious pressure forced upoi
the people of the State in regard to
mortgages, crop liens, etc., and as
fhe Charlotte Observer is frank
to admit: ,
"As it stands its only effect and
that, perhaps,;not a bad one is to
prevent a person or firm failing
and making an assignment, pre-
fering one class of creditors above
another." .
Herein the full intent and pur
pose of the law is made plain, and
it is acknowledged, almost without
a dissenting voice, to be one of the
best measures passed during the
session, wiping out'more fraud in
preferments, and rottenness along
that line than even the Democrat
ic party stands accused in its past
election methods.
Another effort was made the
past week by Gov. Carr, pending
the decision1 of the Supreme Court,
to declare the "Assignment Law''
llegal upon some technical grounds
that it was rushed through at the
close oi the session, fa shadow of
the original bill," and by ''Legis
lative, fraud and. forgery The
Governor on the 4th addressed i
letter of inquiry to Attorney Gen
eral Osborne, regarding his power
so to act and an immediate reply
from the Attorney General is thus
summarized :
"jjj compliance with
the reqdest of Your Excellency I
have investigated the question, as
far as I could within the limited
time suggested in your letter, and
have reached the conclusion that
no such proceeding as the one men
tioned by you can be maintained.
"After a thorough search .1 can
find o authority in out State pr
elsewhere to sustain it, and I can
not see now the Mate as a person
distinguished from its citizens
interested in the question.
As you a,re aware, the action, if
brought, woild have to be brought
in behalf of the State with you as
the relator of the plaintiff and me
r con nsel . Thoro -ion,
nothing lnlhe ofhc
of either of us which requires us
to bring proceedings in any court
to nulify an act ofthe Legislature
whether legally pasaed or not.
"But I do not find authority in
our own State for a proceeding of
another character whichmay effect
the desired purpose and afford
rededy. I think any clt
zen, in behalf of all others, may
bring the action you suggest. Such
a proceeding in the nature of
mandamus has been allowed in
our courts in the case of Scarbor
"ough vs. Robinson, 81 North Car
oline, page 409.- Perry vs. Whita
kor, 71 North Carolina, page 475
is somewhat analogous.
' Besides, I . find authority
in
other States to the same effect;
Among others, State vs. Cunning
ham, 83 WiscoBsin. page 90,(35
American State reports, page 2 )
Wise vs. Bigger, 79 Virginia, page
269. i
"There is nothing to prevent
l our Excellency as a citizen; in
behalf of all other citizens, from
bringing this action, and if yon
will permit me to go behind duties
as your legal advisor I take this
opportunity to say that you as our
most prominent citizen are the
proper person to do so,
It i on: Excellency should dacide
upon the course recommended, the
whole, matter will come before the
courts for decision and I, there
fore, express no opinion npon their
right or power, to go behind the
ratification ofan aet of the Legis
lature and inquire whether or not
the requirements of the Constitu
tion were observed in its passage,
but confine myself to the question
asked as to the method of proced
ure. , ;
The decision of the Supreme
Court virtually settles the question
and the "Assignment Bill" "tem
pest in a tea-pot," drawn by a
Democrat, introduced by a Dem
ocrat, voted for by Democrats,, and
then, bejf ore its fountain head was
known, was thrashed around by a
Democratic press, evidently more
for political -effect and prejudice
than a desire forJust'ice, has fallen
through, and the great "bugaboo'.'
assignment bill stands in full force
and effect, as passed by the Fusion
Legislature, and pronouncedly a
prudent, wise, and beneficial meas

upon the suggestion of the Attor

FIX THE ftKSPO.NSIBI MTV.
Present developments leave little
rooritfor doubt but that "the howl"
raised by thei i Democratic press
and poljticiaibs over th work of
the Ute LegiUature is a deliberate
and pre-arranged plan, not only to
fool 6ie people.but 'for the perpe
tration of gross frauds for party
and rlitica. advantage. Take the
lists pt Justices of the Peace as
certified to,;ihe BeveTal counties
throughout the State, none of them
are ,'dorrect iffrand, tit is alleged

arranged. . Somebody is responsi
ble aqd the Responsibility ought
to be JBxed. The Progressive;. Far
mer rfeferingto this matter says :
The Demoitfratic press tries to
bringlodium npon the legislature
by charging v that more bills were
stolen and ftneaked" through than
ever before. : Js , it not plain that
Democrats did the work? No leg
islative body will Jvoluutarily at
tempt.to bring odium upon itsalf.
In asserting that we believe, on the
best of circumstantial evidence,
that pll, or ribarly all the rogery
and wropg doing was done by Dem

hangers-on, vfe do not mean to cast
any reflection; upon the good men

whelming majority of votes in this
State against the partr last fall,1
the State would nave been stolen
had thev not been diaamointed in!
the strength cf the opposition. As
' . - - i . . I
U was. several counties were stolen, !
bufi their calculations fell short in
o manr 1 that it was considered i
advisable to- submit The Demo-
cratic party has held power in many i
States of the South, portions of the
said States by fraud. The Demo
cratic Governor of Tennessee was
counted in last fall. Recently it
was discovered that his opponent
got 7,000 more votes than he re
ceived. Now with; all these facts
before us it is no trouble to believe
that the politician! and tricksters
of the party in this ' State would
cheerfully engage in the pastime
of stealing bills to prevent their
passage or sneak in bad bills to in
jure their political opponents. It
has been noticed that in nearly
every instance Democrats were the
first to discover the loss of bills or
any bad or imperfect bills. In
several instances thev were made
to disgorge bills during the last
legislature. , i
With all the proof staring ua in
the face we are bound to conclude
that the mortgage, assignment bill
is a Democratic scheme. It came
into effect just at the time when
farmers are arranging for fertiliz
ers, and a portion of them for sup
plies of. various kinds.. It was pre
arranged and premeditated. With
their usual ability for blundering
they" went about; this' hoping to
create such a sensation that Pop
ulists and Republicans would be
disgusted and driven into the de
funct Democratic! party. But the
plan has failed. Secrets., are leak
ing out. Every effort to besmirch
the legislature tsa failure. If the
legislature had made twice as many
mistakes as it. is charged with, the
people could not be driven back by
set of cowardly unscrupulous
tricksters and a few dozen Demo
cratic papers that have already be
come a stench in the nostrils of an
outraged people. The Democratic
party has a record nationally for
rascality that is incomparable. It
is in the last ditch, so far as this
State is concerned, and is drown
ing, for it failed to catch on to the
mortgage straw, the last straw.
Let it go where all corrupt organi
zations have gone before.
Representative Petree of Stokes
; l Speaks.
IMr Editor: i A bill, titled "an
Act to Regulate Assignments,"
and which appears to have been
smuggled through the Legislature
and is creating great excitement
over the State. If intended for
good it seems to have been the
work ot a great bungler, or some
designing politician who wished
to do some devilish work regard
less of the injury or-hardship it
might do the people, and hold the
Republicans responsible, as the
Democratic press of the State are
saying all manner of evil things
about the Legislature and that, too,
over a bill couceived' and born of
a Democrat, also intnxluced bv
Democrat, as I am informed that
the bill was drawn by a Democrat
ic; lawyer, of Cabarrus cout.ty, a
MrJ Smith, aid pent to Represen
tative Smith, of Stanley county,
another Democrat, and he intro
duced it. But be this as it may.
l -1 l., ,u ludmnl thu K, 1 1
be he Republican, Populist or Dem
ocrat, it is a great blucder and it
seomsto me mat 11 th nm was
intended for good it' could hav
been rriadn mom explicit. If got
ten up by the Denujrats, as it most
assured ly was, U is very unjust and
unmanly to abuse the Republican
party over the infamous work of
their hands. While I think some
legislation should be enacted to
prevent fraudulent assignments, I
am unwilling to believe any good
was intended by this bill ai d how
it became a law;! 'do notknow, for
I ami sure no such bill ever passed
the house during my presence, bu
the Question has been asked by
Democrats, where was I, was I not
sent there to took after the inter
ests of my constituents and the
people of the State generally? Yes,
I was sent there; for that purpose
only and I have had the honor of
representing the people of my
county twice in the Legislature
and have always tried to do my
duty regardless of politics. But
it appears that a very prominent
Democrat of Winston wishing to
prejudice some of my Republican
friends against me makes the point
that I should have been in my seat
attending to my duties and should
have prevented the passage of the
bjll. iNow I want to inform that
very distinguished' gentleman that
I was in my seat attending to my
duties and missed as few roll calls
as any Democratic member of the
House, and cast my vote against
any measure that I believed would
be detrimental to the people, for I
lam not such a; partisan as to be
biased by political affiliations and
do a) thing for party sake that
would injure the; masses and can
conscientiously say I did not sup
port the above mentioned bill and
do not believe there was a Repub
lican member who did. But per
haps if the Republicans had treat
ed the Democrats as they did the
handful of Republicans in the Leg
islature of '93 land sat down on
everything1 they introduced we
prightj have saved all this disturb
ance and miserable abuse which
has been heaped upon us by the
Democratic party of the State. For
like the lews iti saving can any
good come out of Nazareth? We
might have known that 110 gcod
tiling ?ould come out of the Dem
ocrat! party- ; R J. Petree.

yonr Orinoco Tobacco Guano and can
honestly say that e think it one of
the very bet guanos made for bright
Tobacco. It grows the' plant large
but perfectly smooth. Will use again
next season.!

I need three tons of Orinxo under
tobacco this year, and have the finest
crop of tobacco l ever raised. I have
never nsed it before. But expect to nse
it again if life lasts.

If yon are at all skeptical write any
of these parties yourself and ask them

Its effect npon the plant is wonder

where it is known. We guarantee it
to give satisfaction.
