2 li CHINOUWiTIME A Big Day's Work of Small Thirds. SENATE SWEEPS FLOOR OL’ WHAT MUST RE GOTTEN IUD OF. SENATOR WHO QUESTIONS THE JOURNAL Birds, Fishes and County Commissioners, Bridges and Fences Get Looked Astir by the Law. makers. The Senate did more work yesterday than on any previous day of the session. It passed eighteen bills, thirteen new bills were introduced and thirty-three came back from committees for consid eration. The Senate made a new departure by tabling its tirst bill. Senator Fuller’s resolution as to the treaty of peace with Spain. The apologetic Senator White, (Popu list), from Sampson, took hack his fa mous speech of the first day by opposing the increase of the number of commis sioners of his county. He asked Scnatoi Robinson (Democrat) to give his reasons for asking that the number of commis sioners be increased. Senator Robinson asked him in turn if lie had not said that he thought the present board of commissioners bad not and was not doing its duty; and also whether he (White) had not voted to increase the number of commissioners of Hertford county. Senator White admitted that lie had said the commissioners were not doing their duty in the matter of grant ing license to sell liquor. He denied that he had voted for the Hertford bill. Senator Robinson: “I think the Journal will show the Senator voted for the bill.” Senator White: “I don’t care what. the Journal shows, I did not vote for it.” Practically the only oppositions the Populists and Republicans have made to legislation has been to the hills to give the various counties competent cum in's Toners. The following additions were made to committees: Committe on Agriculture, Senators Whitaker and Stanback; Com mittee on Deaf and Dumb and the Blind Institutions, Senator Campbell. NEW BILLS REFERRED.

Next we have the removal of Dem ocrats and the appointment of relatives to the Fusion candidates. Then one of the two remaining Democrats is made drunk. Then in Grantsboro town ship seven votes for. Dees found in the wrong box were thrown out; while the five found in the wrong box for I’ftuJ were counted. Could there he stronger evidence of fraud? “At the recount there were present: Mr. Rice the candidate for clerk, and Mr. Cowell, a relative of Rice and a brother-in-law of Paul. Then there were the political abettors and sympathizers of Mr. Paul. And even that was not ne cessary. for 1 read nothing in the law that requires anybody to lie present ex cept the persons named in the judicial ordi r.” At this point in his speech Mr. Win ston picked up tin unsigned circular that had just been placed on the desk of each member. It was entitled “A Statement of the Case” and closed with these words: “Hold the scales evenly! Weigh the matter justly! “William Jennings Bryan said in a sjieech made at Cincinnati, January 4th. 1899. ’When men are excited they will talk about what they can do: when they are calm they talk of what they ought to do.’ “Members of the House! Sons of An glo Saxon ancestors! What ought you to do?” “This paper,” said Mr. Winston, “is not vouched for by the names of the sit ting members, of his counsel or of the members signing the minority report. It has however been the basis of their ar gument. I should not notice this father less statement, so at variance with the well established rules of law and the facts in the case, but for the closing sentences. “It seeks to use the name of the great est statesman in the annals of time, as a talisman to perpetuate a fraud on the electors of Pamlico county. It will fail of its purpose by that appeal, as it will fail in its appeal to the ‘Sons of Anglo Saxon Ancestry.’ “Long ago a brilliant woman, after years of philosophic contemplation of the struggles men had made for liberty and freedom, stood under the blade of the guillotine with its descending stroke. Madam Roland exclaimed, ‘Oh Liberty haw many crimes have been committed in thy name.’ “In the name of William Jennings Bryan (applause)—that great exaiuplar of human rights and champion of free ing all men from all thraldom—this one wrong will not he done, llis own pure spotless life will shield no wrong. And by it in tho coming years man will swear and dare to do the right. “Let us not misinterpret its teachings and commit the wrong of pirating the will of the people of Pamlico county as contained under the forms of lan administered in th» true spirit of ir uess and justice.” (Applause). Mr. Stubbs, of Martin, felt that he would be recreant to the trust his ]w*o plc had placed in him did he not vote as he was now about to do, for the minority report on this case. He had always loved the Democratic party and its principles, and it was be cause of this and of his desire to keep these principles intact that lie was now about to take this action. The evi dence did not, to his mind, deprive the contestee of his seat and would amount to a subversion of tne will of the people of Pamlico county. Mr. Gilliam, of Edgecombe, said la* wanted to lay it down as a proposition of fact that the election officers usually appointed in Eastern North Carolina would perpetrate a fraud if they had au opportunity. The question then is. did they have an opportunity to commit fraud in Pamlico? The evidence shew* that they did have an opportunity. This then puts the burden of proof upon the coutestee to show that there was no fraud. This closed the debate and Mr. Win ston called the previous question. Mr. Hampton (ltep.). of Surry, called the ayes and noes. The coll was sus tained. The roll call was on the minority report. It resulted: Ayes 22, noes 75. Mr. Hampton explained his vote. il<* said: "The ballot box from Bayboro town ship, on recount, showed a difference o< twenty-six votes, which is unusual, and \v<* claim that this box was stuffed or tampered with, tho boxes having been exposed from November 9th to Decern ber 24th. The glass light was broken out of the window to the room in which the boxes were stored. I further claim that under the decision of the Supreme Court in cast* of Broughton vs Young, a commission would have to be appointed by this Legislature to take a recount in the presence of contestant and contestee or their represntatives.” Smith (col., Rep.), of Craven, wanted to explain his vote. A fellow Republican objected and Smith declined to vote. At the conclusion of the roll-call Wright (col., Ilep.), of Warren, asked that Smith (col., Itep.), he allowed to vote. Smith: “I have not sufficient light op the subject to intelligently cast a vote. 1 think they nfe both about half elected.” The majority report was adopted and Mr. Dees come forward and was sworn in by the Speaker. THE COUNTY OFFICERS’ FEES. The Question Threshed Over Again in the House. For two days, in the early end of tnr week, the Judiciary committee discussed the question of a reduction of the fees of county officers. Yesterday the House took a whack at it, discussed it an hour and it’s not set tled yet. The b 11 in question was the same in all cases: “An Act to prescribe a short form of chattel mortgage to secure an existing debt, and an agricultural lien for advances, also to prescribe the fee for registering the same.” This bill was introduced by Mr. Alien, of Wayne, a week ago; was finally re ported favorably by the Judiciary com mittee and yesterday came up in the House for passage. Mr. Allen explained that it did not affect the old agricultural lien or chattel mortgage. It was simply a combination TH* SK\VS A.IL) OBSERVER, JAN. 21, 18«J9. of the t\(-o. The fee for registering these two instruments. he said, had been $1.05. The fee for registering and probate of the new ins 'umcnt is only jii cents—a saving of more than I*’o per cent to the tenant. Mr. Ray, of Macon, amended that this act shall not apply to Macon county. He explained that in his county agri cultural liens were practically unknown. But he thought the new form would take the place of the chattel mortgages on Which the registration and probate fees amount to only 30 cents. “When it does, the people will want to know why the charge for probate and registration is now 15 ('cuts higher than it was before the Democratic Legisla ture mot. There is no sort of doubt that this form will take the place* of the old form. It ought to do it. because it’s a better form and will hold water in the iourts hotter. The man that takes the | mortgage is the man that's going to dictate the form used.” Mr. Holman, of Iredell, amended “that the fee for registration shall he 20 rents and for probate It) rents.” He agreed | with Mr. Ray that this was the better l form of lion or chattel mortgage and it would take a long time to explain to the iK'ople how it was that members camp hero pledged to a reduction of fees and instead of that they had increased them from 30 cents to 45 cents.” Mr. Robinson, of Cumberland, pointed out that the bill created « new form 1 never before in use in North Carolina. It is one that takes the place of both a chattel mortgage and lieu bond and j for it thp fees are 45 cents instead of $1.05. “One reason there is no more cohesion and harmony in the Democratic party is that as soon as we get in we begin to cry ‘Reform, Retrenchment, Rei.’Srtion of Expenses.” All very well in its way. j but we begin at the wrong end. It is buncombe, nothing hut buncombe, the proposition to cut these fees down below (he living point.” Mr. Clarkson, of Mecklenburg, said lie, like tin* gentleman from Maeou (Mr. Ray), had opposed making the fees more than 10 and 20 cents. But after hearing the discussion before the committee lie had come to the conclusion that 45 cents was not too much. As for his own county, crop liens were seldom used, and therefore he thought the true solution of tin* matter for those counties that do not want the hill,was simply to take their counties out from the operations of the : act. Mr. Council sent forward an amend- ! merit “that nothing in this bill shall affect the crop lion or the chattel mort gage. as provided for in section 1.273 of j the Code.” Speaking to his amendment Mr. Coun cil su’d in his county such a thing as a ! crop lien had never been registered. But he thought the farmers of the East were entitled to relief. lie did not think i it would he considered by the people as an increase of fees. Mr. Williams, of Graham, amended to except the county of Graham. Mr. Allen explained that the advan tage of his bill was not only a question of foes but that it gives the landlord the benefit of additional security; it gives the tenant u chance to continue his cropping arrangement with the landlord and keep getting advances on such se curity as the landlord will accept. The form, he said, was longer than the chat tel mortgage, and if the fee of 20 cents for registering and 10. cents for probat ing the chattel mortgage Is right, then the fee for recording this instrument ought to he more. ' I’m in favor of reducing fees, but I’m not in favor of reducing fees un less that reduction is just. 1 am wili ng to save the people every dollar I •an: but I am not willing. merely for the purpose of saying that I cut fees, to •io my county officers an injustice. In this view of the matter my constituents will endorse me.” Mr. Overman, of Rowan: "8o far as I am concerned I’m willing to allow Row ill to stay in this bill. And I want to suggest to some of the gentlemen that they are making a great mistake. Sup ose you take out yOur county. Then the farmers in the neighboring county *vill pay only 45 cents, while in your county the l'ee will he $1.05. I want to •ay to the people, I’ve reduced your fees from $1.05 to 45 cents. As for those ounties that do not use the crop lien, his law can make no difference. This hill is in the interest of the poor tenant.” Mr. Stevens, of Union, favored the redaction in fees as fixed in the hill. Mr. Council’s amendment was adopt ed. Mr. Williams, of Graham, withdrew his amendment to except Graham. Mr. Holman’s amendment to reduce the fees to 20 cents iuul 10 cents was ,ost. Amendments were then sent forward, excepting the following counties from the operation of the bill: Macon, Clay. Cherokee, Alleghany, Transylvania, lenderson, Madison, Jackson, Swain, Currituck. Guilford. Gaston. Mitchell, Forsyth. Dare, Washington, Polk, Jutes and Tyrrell. These counties having been eliminated die bill as amended passed the second ending. Before it was put on its third reading, Mr. Holman, of Iredell, sent forward an intendment "that in the county of Ire -I**ll the registration fee be 20 cents, and he probable fee 40 cents.” This amendment was adopted. Oil motion of Mr. Allen, author of the till, it was re-committed to the Judiciary Committee that it might he put in prop er shape before being finally passed and engrossed. &)ME IMPORTANT BILLS. Several Railroad Measures Proposed or Passed. Yesterday was sort of a Railroad Day in the House. Three bills, looking to taking charge of the North Carolina Railroad and the At autic and North Carolina Railroad, were passed. A bill to require separate cars or com partments of cars for whites and blacks on railroad trains: and two bills to in corporate new railroads in North Caro lina were introduced —one in the Eastern part of tlie State and one in the West. The Western road Js the Tennessee and North Carolina Railway, to run from Cranberry to Lincoln ton The Eastern road is the Beaufort and Pamlieo Railway This road is to have $20,000 capital, its owner to have right to acquire 190,000 acres of land. The road is to extend from Dunn’s creek. Pamlico river or South creek to a point on' the Nouse river in Pamlico or Cra ven county. Another bill of local interest is that by Mr. McLean, of Harnett, to appropriate | $1(5.500 for each of the years 1899 and ] 1900 for improvements at the institu- ! tion for the white blind, including elec- 1 trie light plant, new boiler, new rooms : for females, etc. A bill of considerable importance was introduced by Mr. J. Floyd Brown of Johnston. It is to allow clerks of courts, on their own motion, upon petition back- j ed by proper proof, by a mother of an indigent child or of some good citizens, i to set apart not to exceed S2O of funds paid in by administrators, executors, etc., for the maintenance of indigent chil- j dren. Mr. Gattis, of Orange, presented the regular biennial petition of Josiah Tur ner. Public Printer twenty-five years ago. asking that his bill be re-amlited ami any balance found due, be paid him by the State treasurer, with »S per cent j interest. THE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

By McLean, of Harnett: Act to ap-j propriate $33,000 for the School for the ; Deaf.

By Allen, of Wayne: Act to repeal the law appointing a local hoard of trustees for the colored normal school at ' Goldsboro. , At the conclusion of the morning hour, Mr. Winston, chairman of the Commit tee on Privileges and Elections, called up the contested election case of Decs against Paul, from Pamlico county, i The majority and minority reports of the committee were read and discussed. Speeches were made in support of the minority report bvb Messrs. Carr, of Dtip lin; Clarkson, of Mecklenburg: Winston, of Bertie, and Gilliam, of Edgecombe. Those who favored the minority report wore: Hampton, (Rep.), of Surry: Giles. (Rep), of Chatham, and Stubbs, (Dem.i, of Martin. The minority report was rejected by a vote of 21 to 75. and the majority re port was adopted. Only three bills were passed on the third reading—all relating to the manage ment of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, and introduced by Mr. Allen, of Wayne. The linst one (11. B. 105) provides for a Board of Internal Improvements, con sisting of nine members —one from each Congressional district —elected biennially by the Legislature. The first meeting of this board is to be held in Raleigh, on February 10, 1899. Vacancies are to Ik* filled by other members of the board.. The other two hills were simply amendments of tin* laws passed by the Fusiouists in 1897. taking charge of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. These amendments make these acts cor respond with the changes made in the , Code by the first of the bills. It was frankly stated to the House by Judge Allen that the purpose of his three hills was tn take the North Carolina railroad and the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad out of the hands of its present management and put it into the hands of the Democrats. He had no ex cuse to make for it, as the Fusiouists had two years ago railroaded through two hills taking the road from the Demo cratic management. It was pointed out that under the present law the Board of Internal Improvements was practi cally the Governor, as the board con sisted only of the Governor and two other members appointed by him. This board has the appointment of eight di rectors for the Atlantic and North Caro , 1 ina Railroad—the private stockholders ! having sou the directors in turn elect the officers of the road. Judge Allen’s bills change all this. They were passed Without discussion. During the consideration of the calen dar the Senate sent hack with an amend ment, the House resolution in regard to the investigation of the State Treasur er’s office. This was put on the calen dar. and will to-day come lip for con ■ eurrence by the House. | The Scotland comity lull was ordered .printed. * In accordance with a resolution adopt ed by the House and Senate, the Speak er appointed the following committee, on the part of the House, to investigate l the suspension of the Wilsons from the office of Railroad Commissioner: Messrs.
