postponement, because I desire that i Salen
ine Din shall pass, and pass now ;
for the law, as It now stands, com
pels Minors, from the ages of 13
to 21 years to work on public roads,
while their fathers have the control
of their time. According to the ex
isting law the time of the minor is
not his own it belongs to his fath
er. The first duty of a child is to obey
his father. .His father may com
mand him to remain at home, and
if he does thus obev his father, bv
so doing he ttisol eys the existing
State road law. Then what is to
lie done? The minor is to be in
dicted before a Justice of the Peace,
tried, convicted, and fined not less
than two dollars, and not to exceed
five; then he may lie imprisoned to
enforce the payment of the same.
Here we find a grievous conflict
m this: the father is allowed to
control his son all the time, and the
X. C. road law is made to have con
trol over him for a part of his time.
I. hope that gentlemen on this floor
will see the inconvenience to the
minor, and "the inconsistency with
the laws, one with the other, and
the unwholesome conflict of the
same, and vote down the motion to
indefinitely postpone, so that the
the bill may pass.

Remarks of Mr. Ferry,
OP BLADEN',
On the Bill to Relieve JSIinor from
Work on Public Roads.
Mr. Siieaker, I hope the motion
to postiione indefinitely will not
prevail, for the reason, sir, that the
Jaws of North Carolina in this re
gard require all males of this tate
to work the public roads from 18 to
43 years, three years ir, before they
are allowed the rights of citizen
ship. This, Mr. Speaker and gen
tlemen of tnis House, is a hardship,
and in my judgment oppressive in
. its nature, a breach of civil liberty,
repuguant to republican institutions
and contrary to the principles of
free government.
Now, in a government like ours,
in which hereditary rights are un
asserted, it becomes our duty to pro
tect the rights and liberties, as leg
islators, of our brothers and sons
and those of our constituency, that
are under twenty-one years of age,
and not allow the existence of a law
on the Statute Book, or the enacting
of a law that will force upon them a
public duty, or in other words a tax,
for evidently the tendency of exist
ing legislation, uKn this subject, is
taxation without representation,
n hich is contrary to the spirit of
free government. And, sir, tne oo
jectof the bill under consideration,
is to protect minors from oppressive
government, uiider existing laws;
if thevfail to work roads after be
ing legally notified, they are liable
to be indicted for a misdemeanor,
and a line of five dollars and cost
recovered before any court of com
petent jurisdiction ; and they at the
s m e time subject to their p irents t
guardians, as the case may be.
And, Mr. Speaker and gentlemen
of this General Assembly, let me
ask,' if you please, what father is
there on this floor that can, with
any degree of complacency, go to
his home and say to his brother or
son, who is on mid duty but under
twenty-one years of age, well, there
was. a bill introduced in the Legis
lature, of which I am a member, to
relieve you of said duty until you,
by the Constitution and laws of the
State, become a citizen, but I would
not support it for the reason I thought
it was wrong? How do you think
that brother or son would feel to
wards him ? The answer is suscept
ible. ' .
And what young gentleman on
the floor of this building, a legisla
tor,! who has a brother or whose con
stituents has sons, under twenty
one 'years, but liable to road duty,
that can or will vote against the
measure, or in other words that will
vote to indefinitely postpone, that
being the motion pending?
3Ir. Speaker, it does not seem to
me that any christian father or
christian brother, here as a legisla
tor,' will or can in good faith oppose
tho hill.
But, Mr. Speaker, I hear it inti
mated that if we pass this bill, we
can't keep up our roads. The asser
tion is preposterous it will only
reduce our road force about ten per
cent. And mast we make our
brothers and sons' who are under
twenty-one years slaves to public
service to accomplish an end so
small ? The very thought is odious
to suppose that the friends of free
government will oppose a measure
. . t -I 1 .....1 .lo.l i .Km
I nab is cuicuiaicu iu reuuuuu w mo
liberty of the minor males of the
State," in this regard. Therefore, I
hope the motion to indefinitely post
pone will not prevail.

Saturday evening when Major Wiley
D. Jones went to feed his swine, he
.found one of his fattening hogs dead.
Supposing it to have been killed by one
of the larger hogs in tho pen, he had it
cleaned and put in the smoke house.
But Sunday morning when the servant
went to feed he found another one dead.
The Major then had the hogs turned off
the floor pen into the yard, when one of
them suddenly appeared to be sick,
went round and round like he had the
blind staggers, and fell dead in his tracks.
Three more died that morning in the
same way.

A Good One on Newbern.
A good one was told us to-day on a

some little club-in that city, and most
of the young men being present at the

it was proposed that the club wait
awhile for this meeting to break up, so
that they would have a larger attendance.
During this interval the Hon. C. C.

lawyer, who was chairman of the club,

He arose very deliberately, and got this
far : 44 Fellow citizens, I came here to

roar of laughter, he stumbled through
a labyrinth of embarrassed blushes, and
