2 A NOT OLD TIME AMONG RADICAL LEADERS Hampton Hops on Your Uncle Isaac Smith. AND ISAAC HITS BACK THEN HAMPTON SAYS HE WON’T PLAY NO MORE. AND TA'ES H»S DOLL RAGS HOME The House Refuses to Pcssthe Bill Creating the Office of Treisurer for Surry County. The Newb rn Char'er. Things woke up with a start in the, House yesterday. There Was strong talk from men with hot hearts und abiding love for their j State. It has been going dreamily along these snowy days—the House has. But yes terday, with a clear sky and crowded gallery, it was very much awake. Quietly enough it ambled along Tor the first hour aying and noiug the various bills put before it for action. Then it struck the act to repeal the charter of the city of New hern. , •When it did there was a slight jolt* for Mr. Williams, (Rep.), of Yadkin, put a chunck under the legislative wueel by saying that several bills for tnis county of this kind bad already been pussed, and asking how many more were yet to come. Wifti this Mr. Gilliam, (Deni.), of Edgecombe, got down and put his shoul der to the wheel. “The object of this bill.” he said, “is to take charge of Newborn. That’s all there is to it. The charter is repealed and a board of five trustees is created in whom are vested the property of the town. “The Legislature of 1807 so amended the charter and gerrymandered the town sis to put it under negro rule. This bill takes it out. Under the act of ’O7, the citv attorney is a negro and 5 of the 11 policemen are negroes. The trustees named in this bill were selected by a mass meeting of citizens. The bill was drawn by prominent attorneys of the town and adopted by the mass meet ing.” With this the bill passed. The next sung, however, was to be of a much more serious nature. So serious, indeed, that the House couldn’t get over it. After sticking on it for two solid hours it decided to back off and go round. And when it did so it registered a vote never to buck up against it again. For it laid a motion to reconsider on the table, and that you know, nails a thing down so that you can never get it up again. The aforesaid snag was a Senate bill to establish the office of county treasurer for Surry county. Now Surry is the county from which Mr. Hampton, the Republican leader, hails; and lmrdlv had the bill been read by its title than he put his number tens upon it with crushing force. He told the Ho'isp it w»s unusual and unnecessary legislation; that it ought not to pass. I “The majority of the House came here pledged to White Supremacy. This it has announced as its mission, and 1 must say I think it is carrying it out with a vengeance.” Mr. Leathenvood, of Swain, here made the point of order that the gentle man from Surry (Hamirtou) was not discussing the question before the House. Mr. Hampton: “If there’s any danger of getting the gentleman from Swain over on my side I’ll stop. “As I was about to say, the first at tack this great White Supremacy Party made was on Hertford county. There was not. however, a single negro officer in the county. The next point of at tack was Craven county, represented in this Hall bv that grand old Democrat, Isaac Smith.” Now it was Isaac's time to rise to a pboint of order. "Mr. Speaker. ’ he said, “the geni nmn calls me a gran’ old Democrat. He's discussin’ things not ’fore this House.” The point of order not being sustained Mr. Hampton proceeded. “Not satisfied with simply restoring White Supremacy in Craven, they’ve come back and restored it two fold. Yesterday when the second bill came up this grand old Democrat (Smith) got up here, almost with tears in bis eyes, and asked for an explanation of the measure. T sorter sympathized with him, 1 tell you I did.” Smith; “I rise to a p’int o’ order. That's not ’fore this House. It's foreign to this House. I'm here representin’ a gran’ people and I want him to speak ’spertfully o’ me.” The point was not sustained, and Mr. Hampton continued. "Yes, he asked for an explanation. All the explanation he got was that the bill was to restore white supremacy, and Ihero was still another dose of the same kind, size and quality to follow. Now I shall not be surprised if bill No. ”, wipes Craven county completely from the face of the earth, leaving (pointing to Smith) only a bi-r. black, greasy spot. “And now this White Supremacy cru sade comes to Sorry, though it has not a single negro officer. Surry -the land J*f the free and the home of the brave he land of free elections and fair counts. (JUanehter); the home of the sturdy mountaineer who loves to hunt the possum and the coon. “I tell you here and now mj people are opposed to this bill. They do not want to centralize their eonntv govern ment in this General Assembly. Only iwo men. so far as I know, are interest ed in the passage of this bill. They are the attorney who is lobbying this hill through the House, and the man who is appointed treasurer. “Fifteen years ago the Democrats abolished the office of county treasurer, and but for the fact that the present sheriff is a Republican you would not now be considering a proposition to re establish it.” Mr. Carroll, of Alamance: "Does the gentleman think Surry needs a county treasurer?” Mr. Hampton said lie did not, and that the county was now in better con dition than it was two years ago. He would give any man who would go there and examine into the matter a check for SSOO if he didn’t come back and so report. Mr. Gattis. of Orange, said the com mittee had beard both sides on this question carefully. It was in evidence that the county was badly behind in its finances: also that the present sheriff was charging a commission for receiving and paying out moneys, whereas the law expressly provides that he shall not do so: that the Democratic sheriff lmd not done so. “Further it was shown in committee that the sheriff has been paying county orders to partisan friends, while those of the opposite party have to wait for months and years to get their money. The school fund also is in bad condi tion. “I would like just here to state, in reply to my friend (Hampton), that there were two issues in the last cam paign: White Supremacy and Good Government. You may have white su premacy in Surry county, but you haven't got good government, if the evi dence before us be true.” [ Mr. Hampton: “I’ll stand by my SSOO offer as to the financial condition of the county.” | Smith, (col. Repl. of Craven: “The gentleman from Surry asks us not to I pass this bill. Asks Democrats not to vote for it, an’ then abuses them — abuses the very men he’s askin’ not to pass it —abuses me. I didn’t at nrst | know how I’d vote, now I’ll vote I ag'inst his bill if I get a chance, so help me God. I want this Legislature to ’lect that treasurer, an’ I'm sorry it couldn’t Meet a representative from Surry. He comes here and ’buses such as me—me who represents the grand ol’ county of Craven, that has contributed as much to literature as any other in the Slate. From that county came such men as Judge Gaston, whose autograph rests iu the Supreme court over yonder ns a inspiration to the young men of this country. “I am the sole representative of these people. And yet the gentleman gets up here an' refers to me as ‘that ol’ man.' Calls me an ol’ man—an ol’ Democrat: then in the next breath he asks the Democrats to kill that bill. “Why, he’s got the cheek of a brass monkey. “I’m here representin’ my race. I'm doin’ it consistent. If I aint who i name of God is? That's what I want to know. "I was sent here by the colored race, sanctioned by the white race. If they hadn’t wanted me they could have manipulated so as to beat me. “Then he (Hampton) comes here an* disgraces the people what sent him here by ‘busin’ me an’ callin’ me a ol' Democrat.” By this time Isaac had worked him self into quite a fury, and the Speaker called him to order, warned him that In* must desist from personalities and con fine himself to the question. Dr. McNeil, of Brunswick, rising to a point of order, said he must object to the language used by the Craven mem ber in reference to the gentleman from. Surry. Mr. Hampton: “I do not rise to makt any reply to that tirade. I shall consul er the* source and pay no attention to it. “I do wish to deny, however, the statement made to the committee that the sheriff has been discriminating in the payment of couuty orders. I was clerk while he was sheriff, and I know if to be untrue. He is an honest man and u man of high character.” Mr. Leathenvood. of Swain, thought the bill a good one, and lie advocated its passage. Mr. Gilliam, of Edgecombe, said : t was admitted before the committee <liaf the sheriff's bond was insufficient worth hardly $5,000. So far the line of cleavage in the de bate had been political. Now it struck across-lot on the Democratic side of tin House and from that moment the death knell of tin* bill began to ring. “I am opposed to this bill because 1 am a Democrat.” These words were spoken quietly enough by Mr. Craig (Democrat), of Buncombe; but they smote the ears of his hearers with i wonderful forge and significance. “i am in favor of the restoration of white government iu the counties of the East, where there are negroes—and my vote will always be found on that side.’ But with the people of the West it's differ ent. If they want bud government— Republican government—let them have it. They have chosen their officers, am: I take it they wouldn’t care to have the Legislature coming in and interfering They are able to govern themselves.” Mr. Winston: “Is there any other way f*r this county to get a treasurer?” Mr. Craig: “I think not. Im*i tin ■Legislature, if it so desires, create tin office or delegate the power to create it: hut leave to the people the choice of tlfc man to till it. 1 am opposed t< tlijs House trying to administer the af fairs of Surry or any other Western county. And 1 for one shall vote against it.” Mr. McLean, of Harnett, favored tin bill because he thought the Democratic minority was entitled to some protec tion at the hands of this Legislature Surry county is controlled by a com bination of negroes and Republicans and I want to break up this family ar rangement. “The Democrats, as a rule, are the taxpayers and they are as much entitlee to protection as are the Democrats o' any other county. It appears that the bond of the sheriff is insufficient. Well ir>w, that ought to be remedied. I think this bill a good one.” Mr. Gilliam said be couldn't see tint' there was any politics in the bill. TV him it looked like a simple business proposition. "Will the county have a treasurin'? If so, who? and how shall he be chosen 'b.v the Legislature, or by the commis sioners? “There is no extra cost attached to th* creation of such an office, for the sheriff is now charging the same fees that fin treasurer would charge.” Mr. Carroll, of Alamance, agreed with Mr. Craig's view of the question. He. being a good Democrat, feared that his party was treading on dangerous grottiffi Changes, he said, bad boon made in other counties—Craveh and Hertford— because of corruption of their govern ment. Here, however, it looked like creating an office simply to give A to a 1 democrat. Mr. McNeil, of Brunswick, thought 3 u dangerous precedent to adopt. “The Democratic party >s on trial. The people are the jurj. If tie people approve of this Legislature i‘ will lie Democratic again. I'm perfectly will ing for the people of Suvry rn have a treasurer if they wait him, but n*t them elect him. They haven’t dele gated to this body 'he power to choose their officers.” Mr. Justice, of Mellowed, wanted to say that the white people of Western North Carolina are going to itin thei*- own affairs, lint that this Dill was law ful. He referred to the fact that Fusion Legislature of 18517 created Tin* office of county treasurer for McDowell and under that act the Governor ap jHiinted the first Republican officer tin* county had had in a dozen years or more. “.Vs a proposition of law the Legis lature has a right to establish iTn* of fice of county treasurer. The sheriff took the office with that understanding. He has no vested right in the office of treasurer after the l/.*gi si autre has di vided it from that of sheriff.” Mr. Robinson, of Cumberland, didn’t deny the right of tlie legislature to do it, but he did deny the wisdom of doing it; and most emphatically lie de nied the justice of it. “The people fun damentally have a right to control tlicit own affairs.” Mr. Moore, of .Jackson, told tin* House that the sheriff of Surry county was a brother-in-law of the chairman of the board of commissioners and that this board was controlled by this chairman. From this he argued that there might easily be collusion and great corruption in office might result amt escape detec tion. The bill before the House he con sidered, therefore, not a question of jKilitics, but of expediency. Mr. Parks, the proposed treasurer, he said, was/or many years chairman of the boaru of ■ commissioners and a man eminently qualified for the place. Mr. Clarkson, of Mecklenburg, thought the passage of such a lull would be partisanship running riot. “I remember the Fusion Legislature tried to tint upon the fair city of Char lotte a police commission. 1 reniemhei too. that it was the Western Republi cans who prevented it. Mecklenburg people are not the kind of folk to re turn evil for good. Whenever you’ll prove to me that these bills are neces sary for the eastern counties I’ll vote them, but in the West a different con dition of affairs confronts us.” Mr. Craig made the point that the people, in voting for a sheriff who was also to be treasurer, had thereby voted for a treasurer. And that treasuroi was a Republican and not a Democrat. Mr. Allen, of Wayne: “Who intro duced this bill?” Mr. Craig: “Senator Glenn.” “Is Surry in his district?” “No.” Mr. Craig: “Two years ago the Fu sionists appointed a treasurer for Mc- Dowell county. A Democrat protested. He did right. A Fusion precedent is no good precedent." Mr. Gattis: “Don’t you know that the 600 negroes in Surry count}; hold the balance of power?” Mr. Craig: “I hear there are only about 400 negroes in the county.” Mr, Hampton said this was correct, and that all of them did not vote the Republican ticket. Mr. Craig: “If a Democrat had be *:i elected would there now be a petition here from Democrats for election of a treasurer? I undertake to say there would not. I don’t know whether even the Democrats want him or not. Tin people of Surry county spoke in the election. They sent Mr. Hampton here to represent them; let's abide the ver dict.” Mr. Council thought the best interests of every county demanded that it have a county treasurer. He knew his own had suffered and was now some SO,OOO in debt because it didn’t have one. But when it conies to electing him or any other county officer by the Legislature— that’s a different matter. He said lie would, at the proper time, amend the ' bill so as to create the office and give the county commissioners {power to elect. Mr. Gattis said this was the very thing they were trying to get around. ‘The chairman of the board of commis sioners is a brother-in-law of the sher iff. He is here lobbying. Leave it to him and there’ll be no treasurer. If Surry is to have a treasurer now is the time and here is the place. Then conies tin* question of the treasurer. Who will appoint? If you let the commissioners do it, then the object aimed at will not he accomplished. An investigation is necessary.” Mr. Gattis called the previous ques tion. The call was sustained and Mr. Cur *'is. of Buncombe, called the ayes and noes. The roll call resulted. 32 In favor ot the bill and 01 against it.
