The Republi can and Popnlet Senators held joint caucus in the hall of the House this af ternoon beginning at 3 o'clock and nom inated by acclamation Marion Butler for the six year term in the United States Senate and Jeter C. Pritchard for the two-year term. Tsmultuous enthusiasm greeted the nominations, and although the caucus was behind closed doors the uproar could be beard for some distance from the CapitoL Addresses were made by Messrs. Butler and Pritchard. and also by Judge D. L. Russell, of Wil mington. LBy Soothem Associated Press. Raleigh, January 15. The Sena torial question in this State was settled this afternoon Dy .tne nomination ot Marion Butler to succeed Senator Ran som for the lopg term. The Populist caucus met In the House end of the Capitol : and ; invited the Republican cancas, then in the Senate wing, to meet them in Joint --session. Mr. riutier was then nominated by acclamation without a shade of: opposition, Mr. ..Pritchard having last night been named by the Republicans,' was. in turn . nominated after Mr.' Butler by the two parties this aJternoou-.ife -' ': . It is thought now that the bitterness stirred np by the caucus last night may cause some difference between the Hoi- ton and Pritchard factions in the Legis lature. Moreover, that the fusion hav ing served the ends " of the . leaders, will now turn their eyes upon themselves and possibly drift apart. . This is .what the Democrats hope for. But now the par ties present a solid troeL To-day the bill for the repeal of the Railroad Commission was introduced by 1895. Mr. Ewart, one of .the.; late i Senatorial candidates, and will be passed.! Then it is thought Mr. Butler; will strengthen his cause by putting it in the hands of one mad instead of in the hands of three as at present. .This ' is a plan of party pdwer and Mr. Butler appreciates it. A bill was Introduced also to abolish capital punishment in the State. The Fusion programme has been car ried out to- the letter so far, and it is probable that the rest of it will go through also, and leave them stronger at the end of the Legislature than they were before. Meanwhile, the Democrats are fighting every inch and putting themselves in readiness to pounce on any expenditures that may go beyond those allowed by the present law. rj HOW THEY DO PAY. ' Cotton Hills Psy from Ten to Thirty five Per Cent. Does Wilmington Went Anything- Better Then That? Mr. A. L James, well-known in Wil mington, writes the Manufacturer's Re cord as follows: Bank of Laurinburg. Laurinburg. N. C, Dec.-fttr-Wherever cotton mills have - been built in our State the benefit to the towns where they have been erected has been so marked that the most casual observer has noted it. The erec tion of these mills means better prices for those farmers contiguous thereto for their cotton. It also makes a mar ket for vegetables and small fruits where none existed before. In this (Rich mond) county all capital invested in mills is local money. There are eight mills in this county, all run by water power. The profit during this year in the cotton mill business has been and is still very large; it is from 10 to 85 per cent. 1 know of nothing in our section that pays so large a profit. Our people here would give a hearty and sincere welcome to any one contemplating the erection of cotton mills. Yes, it is a judicious investment for any one. Ail our mills are running on full time. Several of them are running at night. A. L James. President. AGAINST CONFEDERATE PENSIONS-! I A Bill to tbis Effect is Zatrodaoed by Mj. Grant in the State Senate. Goldsboro Argus. So Major H. L. Grant, who himself draws a pension from the Yankee side of the line, although able bodied and un wounded, vesterday introduced a bill in the State Senate to repeal the act pen sioning, at a poor pittance, the wounded Confederate soldiers of this State. He would take from tbem. wounded and maimed, helpless and starving though they be, the poor pittance that their own State has provided for tbem and which their own home people willingly pay, while he himself draws a Federal pension for helping to wound them at the head of a negro regiment! And this is the man whom many old Confederate soldiers voted for in. the late election on the Fusion ticket against Ben Aycock for the Senate, and by whose votes he was elected. This is how he repays them: He and Marion Butler "pull" for Abe MiddletOn, their burly negro henchman, in preference to a one-legged Confed erate soldier, as assistant doorkeeper. and now he wants their pension taken from them. Offloial Envelopes Cheeper. Postmaster Morton has been notified by the Post Office Department of the changes made by the new contract with the stamped envelope manufacturers. .Some changes have been made in the styles, and a slight reduction-is. noted in prices on all stamped goods except news-v paper wrappers.'

The special return request will be printed as heretofore, free on all envelopes except No. 6, a manilla circular envelope. The rates on the envelopes most commonly in use are as follows: No. 1. small note size, $21.86 per thousand, formerly $21 40; No. 2, note size, $21.56, formerly $21.60. No. 5, regular business size. $21.80. for merly $22 00; No. .6, manilla circular, 1 cent stamps, $11 08. formerly $11 20; No. 7, official, $22.52. from $28 00; No. 8, ex tra large official, $23 00, from $23.40.

Are Premiums Charged ; Upon Xibafca Usurious A Cese Involving phis Question Pending in the Supreme Court of XTorth, Caroline. j : pj j The Star recently published In opinion by the Supreme Court of j this State, by Judge Burwell, as to Building and Loan Associations, in which it , was held that premiums charged ' upon loans were usurious. This was the case bf Rowland against the Old Dominion Building and Loan Association,! pf Richmond. It seems that the opinion was rendered at the February term pf that Court, but, because of tome misap prehension of the facts by the Court,; the case was re-opened and has not been de cided. At the February term of the same Court another case Merooy against the Atlanta Building and; Loan Association, involving the same ques tion was elaborately argued by coun sel, and the Court up to this timeijjhjm withheld its opinion. Both of these cases have been ordered by the G3urt to be re-argued at the cooling Feoruary term of the Court. - Mil In reference to the toimer case, Which we re-puDusned from the Charlotte Observer, the State Auditor! has issued the following circular letter, which plains itself : " . j j ex- Raleigh, January! 1J My Dear Sir Through an inadver tence an opinion written by a member'of our Supreme Court in a case involving Building and Loan Associations in this State was printed in a law journal as the opinion ot the Court. Tne Court be s never decided the matter, but holds it under advisement, The law, therefore, remains as heretofore. Respectfully, Robt. M: FurmanJ! Auditor ot Stated ! il il The English Courts, the Star is in formed bv an attorney who has investi gated the question, have always adhered to the rule that the contracts between Building and Loan Associations and Its members are not to be construed: usuri ous. but in principle as contracts of. co partnership are construed, and because the borrowing member, though be may pay in excess of the legal rate, j as his contract continues participates ; in the profits and in the management of bis! As sociation, and is upon a different footing than if the relation between himself; and his Association was simply that of bor rower and lender. His profits, in Other words, go to the reduction of his inter est and the liquidation of his loan1. i! This rule has been followed generally by the Courts of the United States', but the Supreme Court in this State has held that all fines, bonuses and premiums are in effect usurious, but it is believed; that the re-opening and delay in the opinion in the cases referred to above indicate that the Court is very strongly consider ing whether they should not follow! ha English rule, construing such contracts as compartnershtp agreements. ! jj j The Star is also informed that in the States of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania.;,Ten- nessee, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin, the Legislatures havt; pe rclaredthat such contracts shall not j be construed usurious. In many of ithe other States the" p?.ss,ai?e of such acts have not been necessary, i as their Su preme Courts have decided that it is not i a usurious contract. It would, no doubt be a wise thing for the Legislature in session to. pass a stat ute declaring that these contracts in this State shall be valid between the Associ ations and their borrowing members; The beneficent influence of these As sociations wherever they have worked has been manifest, and they are j rapidly developing into large financial institu tions, acting as an intermediary between borrowers, who desire to build ; homes, and capitalists and investors who' have money to loan. It would be unwise to restrict their growth and development in this State. Arrested in Ooldaboro. The Goldsboro Argus says: "The Mayor committed to jail yester day, to await trial in next week's,!
