2 WHAT SHALL WE DO WIIH PIS IOL 10TERS (Continued from First Pago.) v " ,t !"'<;’ouu>UKh what it is intended to accomplish. But ho doolaroil himself in lnv«.r of an enlargement of the powers <uiil junstliet i«»u of tho magistrate. Mr. Uay, of Cumberland. wanted the magistrate to have jurisdiction, lie thought, as a rule, the magistrates were sufficiently competent to dispose of such Hi* had in mind a case in his county, Ihe offender was a young hoy. As a magistrate, had he had jurisdiction, ho could have fined and lectured the hoy and possibly turned him from the ci ror ot his way. ltut the case had to go to court. The hoy, being unable to give bond, was committed to jail. lie paid a lawyer $lO as a fee. The law yer plead to the court the punishment the hoy had suffered in jail; judgment " :,s suspended on payment of the cost, and the hoy was turned loose a con firmed criminal." Mr. Couuoil, of Watauga, called atten tion to the large number of negro mag istrates in the State and said they were not tit to try anything, and some other Fusion justices were little better. “One fatal objection to this hill is that there is no provision in it by which oflotalers who cannot pay the fine shall In* s nt- to the roads. Then lie will have to go to jail and become a bur den upon the county. Therefore 1 say. even ns a matter of economy, the proposed lull is defective." -Mr. McLean, of Harnett, wanted to protest, in the name of his people against the enactment of the bill into law. With the‘personnel of the magistracy of the State such as it now is. lie thought the passage of the bill would amount to n repeal of all law against carrying concealed weapons. "With North Carolina tilled with fu sion magistrates and negro magistrates, we'd as well abolish tin* law. A negro youth thinks all that is necessary to atm him with the full panoply of man hood is to arm himself with a cigarette and a razor. Especially when att nd ing church “festihl:s" and like re ligious occasion;*. It isn't so much a matter of revenue as it is a matter of protection to human life." The present magistrates Fusion in polities and innocent of law books—Mr. Carraway considered them a Society for the Proniition of Crime. It was at this stage of the proceed ings that Mr. Carter (Hep.), of Forsyth, woke things Up and got himself into a whole ten-acre lot of trouble by observ ing that “all the lawyers seemed to bo against the bill, while the farmers fa vored it; and by further remarking that It "looked mighty like they were feared they would loose some fees they’d been gettin’ for defending folks charged with carrying concealed weepons." Mi*, Gilliam: "Are you a magistrateV" Mr. Carter: "I am." (Laughter.) Mr. Giles (Hep.), of Chatham: "Re rause n lawyer sometimes gels a fee by the l resent law is no reason it should he changed.” Mr. Moore, of .Taekspn, wanted to add his protest against the passage of the bill. Air. Williams. (Hep.), of Yadkin: “Are you a lawyer?” Air. Moore: “Yes. and in this House 1 shall defend tin* lawyers of North Carolina and their action here nnd< elsewhere. "I want to repudiate the charge made by the gentleman form Yadkin (Carter) arid insinuated hv the gentleman from Yadkin (Williams) that tie lawyers of this House are influenced in their opin ion on this hill by selfish motives. “The lawyer is not made of that kind of stuff. At no time in the history of the country has he Ijeen other than on the side of liberty and human rights. “Who was it exclaimed, “(live me lib erty or give me death?’ It was a law yer. "Who was it in this State that first stood for good government and redeem ed the State. It was a lawyer—Zebulon Baird Vance. (Applause.) “Who was it in the last campaign ex erted every muscle, strained every nerve; gave time, spent money and sacrificed business *o drive out stu b as you and yours? (Applause.) "It was the lawyers of the State." Air. Justice spoke much to the si me effect mid said he was not surprised to hear th • member from Forsyth use the words ho had used. "After the lawyers luv * stood solidly for good government and turned out your crowd, I’m not surprised at any thing you say about them." Then discussing the merits of the hill. Mr. Justice said that not thru* years ago there were thirteen capital cases on the docket at one term of court ami all of them originated from the carry ing of concealed weapons. "The pistol is a devilish invention, eon eiived for taking human life. X«> brave man carries one." Mr. Williams, of Iredell, disclaimed nny intention to reflect on nnvhody in his remarks made at the opening of the debate. He favored the bill simply be cause he thought it right. Air. Aleamler. of Rutherford, said he was neither a farmer, a lawyer nor a justice of the peace, hut he feaml that it would he a mistake to pass the bill. And Air. Carter's remarks as to lawyers lie thought unwarranted and unjust. Mr. Lowry, of Forsyth, la-lived Ids colleague (Carter) had used the lan guage complained of without considering its meaning or intending any reflection. Air. Lowry moved to amend the bill so as .to give magistrates iiower to semi offenders to the roads for thirty days. The amendment was lest. Mr. Williams, of Iredell called for the aves and uoes on the motion to table the bill. The roll call showed 72 members in fa vor of tabling and .‘lt! against. the house proceedings. A Big Pile of Bills Allowed to Repose Upon the Table. The House met nt 10 o’clock. Prayer was offered by Rev. Or. J. D.

School Men Ask tin* Enactment of Another "Stiff" Law. There is now a fiiii under considera tion by the House Judiciary Committee, providing for giving" to judicial colleges bodies of criminals executed, and of those who die in the penitentiary and other institutions. Dr. R. 11. Whitehead, Dean of the Medical school at the University, ap peared before the committee yesterday afternoon in behalf of the bill. He said that there are two methods by which bodies can be obtained: One by syste matic robbery of graves; and one is by law. He didn't think the law ought to apply to any one except outcasts. The pro posed bill, be said, was a copy of the law in operation in a neighlwmng Stale. "I have been buying bodies in North ern States, but 1 can no longer* do that. All the States now have laws forbid ding the exportation of bodies, and no one can be found bold enough to under take it. When I was aide to get them they cost S4O apiece. Now 1 can’i get them at any price, and personally I'm not going into the grave robbing busi ness. "So you will see some such law as this is absolutely necessary for the main tenance of the medical schools of the State. Anatomy cannot he taught prop erly without the dissection of human bodies. For my school about nine bodies a year are required. 1 do nor know bow many are required for the other two schools —Davidson and Shaw." Dr. Whitehead thought under this law, the bodies would cost about $lO each. Only one white person bad ever been dissected in hi* school. That was a young white man. about IS. that died in the criminal insane department. Dr. R, 11. Lewis, of Raleigh, also spoke in behalf of the bill and said it might very properly be entitled an act to prevent grave robbing. He spoke in the highest terms of Dr. Whitehead and his It had. to a great extent, he sftid, supplanted the Univer*ity of Virginia medical school. Ml*. Moore, of Jackson, said he wn*s opposed to any bill of the kind—that he had pledged his people to repeal the law in regard to this bill passed by tin* Fu sionists, and to oppose any other bill of the kind that might lu* introduced. Mr. Overman, of Rowan, thought it would be hard to pus* *uili a bill through the House. Mr. Justice, of McDowell, thought the bill ought to be amended to except the insane asylums at Morganton and Ral eigh. Mr. Hartnell, of Cabarrus, wanted the Goldsboro asylum taken out its well, lit* was not in favor of putting on the negro any law we don’t want oitrsoive*. Dr. Murphy. Superintendent of the. Morganton Asylum said no person could get a body for dissection from that in stitution as long as lie was in charge of it. Mr. Carroll, of Alamance, thought a bill giving convicts and criminals exe cuted to medical schools ought to be *uffii dent. On motion of Mr. Justice the bill was committed to a sub-committee of three to consider, revise and report back to the full committee. This committee con sists of Messrs. Gilliam, Gattis and Gar roll. ECZEMA WORST KIND Face and Neck One Inflammation. Not Able to See. Unable to Sleep for Weeks from Severe Pain. Friends Did Not Recognize Mo Face So Swollen and Hideous.
