The bill by Senator Morton to nro- X a ill . m. miners ana mercnants or iNortn r 1 m Carolina, reierrea to in a previous Stab telegram, is one of considerable importance, havinir for its chief ob ject the breaking up of a very conaid erable advantaee now esioved hv Virginia millers and jobbers over their North Carolina comoetitors in the saie oi at least two staple commodities, meal and salt Both these articles are sold principally in two -bushel sacks and quotations are by sack instead of oy tne pound. Under the Jaw of Vir ginia forty six pounds is a bushel and in North Carolina forty eight pounds constitutes a busbel, thereby giving Virginia mills an advantage of sav eight cents per sack in meal quotations aione. senator Morton's bill provides that tbe weight and name of nacker snan os Btamced on everv sack of meal or salt offered for sale in Nor h Carolina. Senator Morton has ample assurance that there will be no opposi tion to the bill in either branch of the Assembly. Mr. W. E. Worth-is here in the in terest of several bills now pending, notably that for the incorporation of tbe South, and Western Railroad Company, having for its ob ject the development of Wilming ton and Southport as seaboard coaling stations. Tbe bill is now before the Senate Committee on Corporations for reconsideration. It is charged by some members of the Senate that the specifications as to where the road shall run are too indefinite. The Senate Committee on Educa tion is considering the matter of con centrating 8tate aid to colored normal schools upon two or three instead of seven schools, as at present There was a meeting of tbe committee last night during which the idea was en dorsed by President Eppes. of Ply mouth Normal ScbooL who appeared before the committee. He said con centration would be a splendid idea if the schools aided were so located as to be most accessible to the most thickly populated negro sections. Tbe opinion is gaining strengtb among members of the Assembly that tbe movement to reapportion the Congressional districts should be abandoned, and only provide for the election of one additional Congress man at large under the new appor tionment ordered by Congress. There is strong opposition to changes which would make even one rock ribbed Republican district in the west and according to almost any apportion ment that can be devised there is dan ger that two or even three districts in the west would be Republican. - Special Star Telegram. The Impeachment Resolution. One of the first features of the House proceedings to-day was a favorable re port on the Craig impeachment reso lution, through Judge Allen from the Judiciary Committee.

Property Owners at Wrightsville Beach Will Avoid Confasloo in the Fotnre. Propei ty owners at Wrightsville Beach are naxious for some specific name for their popular seaside resort instead of advertising to the world under two or three names as has been the custom in years past, some people choosing to call it "Wrightsville," others "Ocean View," etc , etc., and the whole resulting in mujh confus ion to strangers, postoffice and rail road people. A meeting of property owners was held last night in tbe Mayor's office for the purpose of deciding upon some definite name, but owing ta the inclemency of the weather, there was not as large a crowd present as was expected and action was postponed until next Tuesday night, 12th inst, when a name will ba chosen and steps taken to have the Legislature make the choice legal. Some of the names suggested last night were "Sea View" and ''Island Beach," but there is yet an opportunity for inventive genius and the meeting will be glad entertain any other name that may do suggested.

Important Decisions in Cases by the Cir cuit Court of Appeals at Richmond. Announced Yesterday. Attorneys interested in the cases have received notice from the Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond of decisions in the matters which were recently argued there on appeal from the U. S. Court in this city. The most important one of these was that of Capt. Jno. W. Harper against Pendleton Bros., of New York, owners of the schooner Penobscott. which was towecftnto harbor from off the bar at Southport February 3rd, 1900, by the steamer Wilmington and upon which Capt. Harper in his own behalf and that of his crew asked $3,500. salvage. The decision of the lower court awarded the plaintiff $2,000, but the District Court of Ap peals this week reduced the amount to $1,000. The case was argued by Mr. Thos. Evans for the-defendants and Rountree and Carr for the p'aintiffs. Another -case was that of Walker Newton, a pilot, against the barge Carrie L. Tyler involving the validity of the compulsory pilotage law. The plaintiff sued for $325 an amount rep- resenting tne lees tor six trips, upon which the plaintiff's services were re- iuscu. j.ua uecision 01 ine lower 1 ml t : L . 1 1 court was reversed. A similar suit brought by the Commissioners of Nav igation and Pilotage against the same defendant was dismissed upon a legal technicality. In the case of Alexander McCollnm vs. the British steamship Anaces, ap pellee, the opinion was by Judge Simonton and the decision of the lower court was affirmed. The opinion in the Penobscott case was by Judge Golf and that in the case of Walker Newton, appellant. against the barge Carrie L. Tyler, appellee, was by Judge Simonton, and reverses the decision of the lower court. New Lightship for Hatteras.
