2 PEE BILL RILLED AND i J, P, CREATED Hot Tim) Around the Bill’s Death Bed. FUN AT THE J.IP.’S BIRTH COUNT* CONVICT FARMS TO HE ESTABLISHED. PURE FOOD BILL AMENDED AND PASSED The Bv l Providing for the Removal of the State from Capital Square Report ed Back to the House Favorably. The Ifonse legislative ear thumped along quietly enough during the early end of yesterday’s session. Without accident or incident it proceeded for. nearly three hours. Then it ran info the gentleman from Macon (Mr. Kay and the gentleman from Jackson (Mr. Moore). The result "as a crash, and we came limping into Town minus a left hind wheel, the axle trey resting on a sapling. And it all happened in this way: | Along toward the tail-end of the meet ing, when many of the Solons,tired of legislating, had gone like sheep to their shearers in the lobbies or were wander ing about the corridors pondering ques tions of State, Judge Aleln’s bill to pro vide tt short form of it chattel mortgage to secure an existing debt and procure further advances, came up for passage. It had a favorable report from the Judiciary Committee. In fact it has had that for more than a week; but when it came before the House first it aroused so much opposition and so many comities asked to be excepted that the hill was re-committed, so that the amend- j wonts might be properly incorporated, j This was done ami the hill was yes terday brought back to the House. It will be remembered that this hill originally met with strong opposition before committee. For three days it was there threshed over. And in the House it raised a storm of opposition. Not the form prescribed for the mort gage, but the fees fixed for its registra tion is what caused the row on these oc casion:-; and it was this same question of lees that yesterday agitated the House l'or one solid hour and ended in the complete defeat of a most worthy meas ure. ! The discussion on it began with an ex '■ptnnatnu by Judge Allen, as to the provisions of the bill—its purpose and intent. Mr. Allen stated that it did not affect the old agricultural lien or chat tel mortgage. It was simply a combi nation of the two. The fee for regis tering these two instruments, lie said, ha'd been $1.05. The fee for registering and probate of the new instrument is only 40 cents—a saving of more than 100 per'cent to the tenant. Mr. Allen went on to say that under instructions from the House the fol lowing counties had been excepted from the operations of the bill; Macon. Clay. Cherokee, Alleghany, Transylvania, • Henderson, Madison, Jackson, Swain, Currituck. Guilford. Gaston. Mitchell, Forsyth. Dare, Washington, Polk, Gates and Tyrrell. An amendment had been inserted for Iredell, reducing the fee to 30 cents. “Now with these amendments there are just three different fees for doing the same thing: $1.05 in the above counties; 45 cents in all the other counties ex cept Iredell, in which it is 30 cents. I Though T have been anxious to have this hill passed, these amendments so j mar it that- T should not bo sorry to see it killed.!” 1 It was at the foot of this steep up- j grade that Judge Connor, calling Mr. ] Fonshee, of Durham, to the Speaker’s chair, came down and put his shoulder to the wheel. This is the second time this session Judge Connor has taken the floor to debate a pending measure. He cautioned the House of the great danger, in a tussle over fees, of for getting the legal questions involved in It bill of this kind. “We ure in great danger of affecting substantial rights in dealing with this little matter of fees.” Referring to the fact that there were no agricultural liens prior to 1807, he said the doctrine of the old law was that a man could mortgage only that which he had. But just after the wav. to bet ter accommodate ourselves to the changed conditions incident to the war we originated, agricultural liens. Later the people began to combine the agri cultural lien with a chattel mortgage.^ “The fee for recording those is $1.05. This is a great burden upon our people, mill it is most unfortunate that we .mild not early in the session have agreed upon some bill of this kind. Judge (%>nnor, however, agreed vith Mr Allen that the law. amended as proposed, would be of little benefit. Mr. Winston, of Bertie, wanted to know if it couldn’t be referred to the Committee on Salaries and Ices and there tie adjusted so as to meet all ob jections. . . Judge Connor thought it might tie done, but added that the House had ar rived at a place when- time is valuable. “Goldsmith somewhere tells of a man whom Parliament was trying to help. He needed clothing, but he lroze to fleath before enough red tape could be unwound to secure an appropriation to buv him a pair of breeches. And much to the same effect is the case of our Congress, which, it 1* *aid. once spent <ltivs debating about bow to have a de fi/f in the cnpltol repaired. Before tVv settled it a practical carpenter went tlmi-c one night and fixed the hole. Next CAG T O RIA f° r ,nfanls EMllrßn Tke Kind You Have Alwars BoagM morning the Congress found its occnpa-. tion gone.” % From this Judge Connor argued that the House could take the bit in its teeth and settle this question without so much waste of time referring and re-referring to committees. Mr. Alexander, of Rutherford, Mr. Rountree, of New Hanover; Mr. Bon-, shall, of Wake, and others, favored tin passage of the bill, urging that it was only a question of fees and theyj thought the reduction a just one and. such as the people demanded and ex-1 pected. With this half a dozen counties that j had only a few minutes before asked to be excepted were withdrawn and tin hill came up on its passage as originally amended. The word was somehow passed around to vote down all amendments that stood in the way of making the law a general one, and it was done. Brunswick first went by the board, then Clay and Currituck and so on til] the Macon amendment hoboed up. This brought Mr. Ray to his feet. He tackled the bill with gloves off and lambasted the House for its policy of riding over members who didn’t want the reduc tion to apply to their counties. It j seemed to him that some of the mem bers were assuming to themselves to know more about his own county and its wishes than he did himself. He thought he ought to Is- allowed to manage his own affairs. The larger counties, he said, could have this reduction if they desired, hut the register’s salary in Macon is very small and lu* didn’t think it right to further reduce it. I Judge Allen—“ Didn’t you say the I other day that there were uo such j things as agricultural liens in ym: f county—that you never saw one?” Mr. Ray admitted that he did, but ar gued that there were many small coun ties in which this was not true. On the vote on liis amendment Mr. j Ray called for a division?. The clerk announced 26 for and 27 against it. I Mr. Ray questioned the accuracy of j the count, lit- said there was one man who voted on his side of the question that wasn’t counted. He wanted Un vote taken again. The Chair (Mr. Fonshee) refused to take it, saying that the House had voted, the vote had been counted and announced. This Mr. Ray denounced as unfair and contrary to the rules. Mr. Allen: “The gentleman from j Macon has no right to thus address the Chair.” The Speaker: “The Chair has decided. The decision will stand unless the gen tleman from Macon appeals and his appeal is sustained.” Mr. Ray: "I appeal.” j The vote on the appeal stood: 28 for appeal and 3(5 against. I The Dare county amendment suf fered the same fate, though there was no fight on it. Jackson county. As .Mr. Moore arose to speak in favor of this amendment his eyes were red as if from weep ing over its impending fate and his voice had a watery timbre that some how got under your shirt on the left side. Mr. Ray had come as a warrior bold to snatch his amendment as a brand from the burning, and he failed to get jit; Mr. Moore assumed the martyred ’ air of injured innocence. He wanted the House to be consistent but he did not want it to be cruel. “The best consistency is Justice. Thi.* bill is unjust to my people. They don’t want it. They have sent me here as their representative. 1 alone am responsible to them. I ask you to take them out of this bill, and I believe you’ll do it. I have never failed to vote with other members aere who have asked things for their counties. I have done it sometimes when I doubted if were best for them. All t now ask at your hands is the same fair treatment.” i Mr. Moore’s county was accepted by an almost unanimous vote. That done, of course there was noth ing left but to feed all out of the same spoon, so Mr. Clarkson, of Mecklen burg, moved to reconsider the motion by which Mr. Ray’s amendment wa> “killed.” The motion prevailed unanimously, and Judge Allen moved to lay Mr. Ray’s amendment on the table. I This too passed, carrying the biill and all amendments with it. i Having thus “killed” the bill to re duce the fees of county officers, the > House adjourned. MAKING A MAGISTRATE. - Took Half an Hour for the House to Complete the Job. The high and honorable office of jn.< the of tin- pence, like the presidential chair, is a position to which every free American citizen may aspire. Many do so aspire. Some reach it. Some over-reach it, and others <1 neither. In the former class is Mr. J osejilt 1%. Hess, of No. 1 township, Madison conn ty. He plugged the bulls-eye of his ambition yesterday; and this morning he stands before an admiring world in the full panophy of a Justice of the Peace did he but know it. The Legislature did the trick, and it cost a hundred plunks or so in valuable time to do it, hut the deed is done. There was opposition to it. of course, hut matters of State like this cannot brooked or balked because somebody oh jeets. Now the objection to Mr. floss’ olova tion came from the Republican side- of the House, for the reason that Mr Hess’ politics is of the white stripe. | When the bill was read. Mr. Bryan, I of Madison, who amuses himself with the delusion that he’s something of a statesman, wanted to know what was the reason for the appointment of Mr. Hess. Mr. Gattis. chairman of the commit i tee that reported the bill, replied that it was done for the reason that Hess , was a Democrat, and the committee > thought it would be a good thing t< > have a Democrat or two in office, even i in Madison county. • Mr. Bryan said there was already an 1 overproduction of magistrates in bis . neck of the woods, or words to that ; effect. And some of them, he added, t were Democrats. t “And as for Joe Hess, the only rea Bears the mia T° son I can see why he should he appoint ed is that he has an ambition to be a j. r.” Mr. Winston: “Well, let’s satisfy him; let’s till ’ini up.” Mr. Leatherwood thought the passage of the bill due to Senator Murray, who introduced it in the Senate. Mr. Hampton called for the ayes and noes. The vote resulted: Ayes, 65; noes. 13. COUNTY CONVICT FARMS. How Counties May Use Short-Term Convicts to Advantage. Perhaps the bill of greatest import ance passed during the day was that introduced some time ago by Mr. Win ston, of Bertie, providing for the estab lishment of county convict farms, and for working convicts on the public roads Tne bill permits the county commission ers of each county in the State to pur chase a county farm upon which con victs are to he employed. It also pro vides for working them on the county roads under such regulations as the said commissioners may prescribe. If a county does not purchase a farm tlie court is to sentence convicted per sons to the farms of other counties. AJ persons sentenced to as much as five years must go to these farms. .Mr. Winston gave an interesting ae count of the working of convicts in Ber tie county. That county has a farm upon which the Home for the Aged and Infirm is located. The work has been the raising of food supplies for the poor and prisoners and results in saving at least a thousand dollars annually. Mr. Winston said that this use of convicts had effected a saving of over SI,OOO a year for the past three years in Bertie. The convicts available for such use are those under sentence of five years or less. The bill passed without debate, mem tiers remarking oil all sides that they regarded it as an excellent measure. The law is not obligatory, blit gives the counties power if desired to thus dispose of their convicts, and also to take convicts from counties which may not desire to avail themselves of the 1 iw. This bill will relievo the penitentiary of more than half its convicts and wil erectly simplify the management of that institution. It would result in purchas ing at least one farm for State convicts. THE DAY’S BUSINESS. PETITIONS PRESENTED.
