2 THETIMBER CHOSEN FOR STOPPING THE HOLE 111 IH[ PEN A Costly Luxury Has Become Too Costly. NEW DIRECTORS ELECTED THEY AHE ALL OF TIIE TREE r.LT’fi VARIETY. # T.ILY WILL MELT HERE NEXT FRIDAY Three Fusion Vacancies to be Filled Next Tues day. The Vagrancy Bui Goes Back to the Committee, Isaac Smith Again. Bie gloria transit—of Capt. Bill Day. ns my friends from IMmrakatte would say. j The Legislature yesterday for about the tenth time, turned an ice-cold shoul i dor to the Captain. It took no Elijah, though, to tell that this would be done. It was a fate dimly, hut plainly, in' sight at tno time of his appointment;) and the water has been gn.n.ng on the' pumps ever since. Yesterday the staggering blow came in I the selection of twelve new directors. Democrats, every one of them, and of the uncompromising type, they will ac cept no goods with the Russell trade mark attached. Os the same brand will he the three to be ehoson next Tuesday to till vacancies in the old hoard. These fifteen new directors—and such of the six old ones as Caro to avail them selves of the opportunity so to do will meet here next Friday (February 10th). And from that day there’ll he a mighty rattling among the dry hones of this while elephant institution. * ) To say that there will be a revolution in its management is not putting it too strongly. The heavy weight ••states men” who have managed it for the past two years are dead failures. The meth od in which.it has been run is bad and they have not lieen equal to the remedy. It has been going astern —this peniten tiary has—at the rate of something like SIOO,OOO a year, for the reason that under “Rus'scH's righteous rule” it was converted into a huge blood-sucking take. Under stu b weak sisters as John R. Smith or the boneless Mewhorno it has been made a free lunch counter to feed a multitude of tax-eaters. | Now all of this is to he stopped—the Legislature says, and that is why ii yesterday ehose the following sound.) seasoned timber to ho thrown into the breach to stop it. THE NEW FEN directors. Chosen on Joint Ballot by Both Houses At Noon. It will appear on the Journal of the House that the new penitentiary direc tory wore chosen at noon. But that is a legislative fake. The ballot began precisely at 12:21 o'clock and ended nearly three-quarters of an hour later. Noon* yon know, is the . traditional time, in all legislative bodies, lor tak ing joint ballots. And it was the time duly set by resolution of hot h Houses for electing these directors. And in accordance with this resolution.] as the hands on the white dial folded themselves together over the noon mark. 1 Speaker Connor announced the “special order.” 1 "The Twelfth district is without ft candidate." said Mr. Rav. of Macon. • Well, don’t let that get out.” laugh ed Mr. Winston, of Bertie. "Wake can furnish you a few,” enn sideratolv suggested Mr Boushall. “Thank you.” replied Mr. Ray, “I’m not at all sure hut that we might scare up a few in our .section if you’ll give us a little time.” Ho therefore suggested the postpone ment of the special order until Saturday. This, of course, could not he done, n ' Resolution fixing Friday having passed Ik,ili Houses. The members from the Twelfth district were, however, allow ed to retire and select their director. ••Mr. Speaker,” said Mr. Craig, as he walked out, ”1 hope you won't let no important measures pass while We are absent—bird laws, no-fence hills or incorporation of churches. With this they went out, to return a quarter of an hour later. A few min utes thereafter the special order was an nounced. The clerk called the roll of the several Judicial districts and nominations were made as follows: First District—Ben j. 11. Thompson, of Beaufort, nominated by Air. Nicholson, of Beaufort. Second District—Edward L. 8 ravis. of Halifax, nominated l»y Mr. \Y inston* of Bertie. Third District—Robert 11. Ricks, of Nash, by Ellen, of Nash. Fourth District —Joseph AY . Perry, ol Johnston, by Alien, of Y\ ayno. Fifth District—Wm. 11. Osborne, of < Sail ford, by Carroll, of Alamance. Sixth District—James C. Davis, of Carteret, by Thompson, of Onslow. Seventh District—James T. of Richmond, by YY’ah, of Richmond. Eighth District—Alfred B. Young, of <’a harms, by Hart sell, of Cabarrus. Ninth District--John L. Gwaltnoy. of Alexander, by Mclntosh, of Alexander. Tenth District-. Marimi F. Morphow. of McDowell, by Justice, of McDowell. Eleventh District—J. Henderson Wed dington, of Mecklenburg, by Hanson, of Mecklenburg. Twelfth District-Samuel L. Rogers, of Macon, by Ray. of Macon. Second District —Roht. YV. Williams (colored), of t 'raven, by Smith (colored), of Craven. Before putting Williamson in nomina tion Smith had sent forward a resolution t () the effect tliar the colored race was entitled t.» representation in tin* mini ugement of the penitentiary, and that :Ufc least one of the directors ought to he a. colored man. This resolution was not, however, roc ognized by the chair, for the reason that the roll call had already begun. It was then that Smith put YY'ilJiamson in nom ination. Mr. Williams, of Yadkin, wanted it understood tlint the man named by the member from Craven was not the can didate of the minority of the House. Smith: “1 wish to inquire if the mi nority has a candidate?” Speaker: “The Chair is not inform ed as to that.” The Chair appointed as teller! on the part of the House Mr. Brown, of John ston. and Mr. Bryan, of Madison. With this the roll call proceeded, each member voting for all twelve of the candidates by name. That is, the Dem ocrats did, and one or two of the Popu lists, notably Mr. Crnmpler, of Samp son. The others either did not vote at all. or voted in ihe air. so to speak. None of them voted, so far as I know, except Ale. Grumpier, until the name of Mr. Williams, of Yadkin. was reached. Now Mr. Williams has won and proud ly wears the name of The I louse Fly. lie’s pestiferous, but harmless, hence rhe name. j Posting himself in front of the House I and in full view of the gallery, he an-j nonneed, in response to his name: "1 vote against the whole list." “No such vote as'that,” declared Mr. j Winston;-of Bertie. “Well then. 1 vote for the following.” And he rattled off a list of twelve names j —foreign and all of them, except W. E. Clark, of Newborn; J. C. L. Harris, of Raleigh, and O. 11. Dock ery. Jr., of Cuba. Later Hampton, of Surry, and Bryan, of Madison, being forced to vote, said they would cast their ballots for this list also. Mr. Petree, of Stqkes, voted for only one man on it- Marlin Malic, of the Ninth district. Smith (colored), of Craven, voted only for Williamson (colored). The other negro members did not vote. Mr. 1 iOwery. of Forsyth, asked to be excused from voting., Mr. Williams, of (Jraliam, finding tha* there were no men in his party couq*e tent to make directors and not wishiie to vote for a Democrat, made up a lis of tiefitious names which he tired at ill. tellers. The result of the joint ballot "ill li announced by the tellers in both House today. THE DANGER AYE ARE IN. A Plot Against Those -Who Toil No* Neither do They Spin. Perhaps they’ve never considered it in this light, lair it’s a fact nevertheless that the members of the Legislature are a Pont to drive immigration froir our noble old Stale. Ami what is more. they arc nhou* to enact a law that will cause eertair people that have hitherto traveller upon our railroads from longer doing so. On their way South le the fall, oi •North in the winter these tourists wil choose to shy around through Tenues see, or even Missouri, rather than pas; through North Carolina. If a certain bill now pending in th- DR. It. E. REEVES. OF ASHE, Author of the Patent Aletlieine Bill In troducod Yesterday. House —and no doubt it was introduce)* at the instigation of plutocrats or folks who still cling to thoold doctrine that every man ought to earn his bread b.\ the sweat of his brow—l say if this bit is allowed to liecome law, the bay-stacks, and out-houses, the sunny hills and se eluded valleys that once knew thos< gentlemen of nnelegant leisure will know them no more forever. The Hobo and the Tramp will be to m lost tribes, apd in every housewife’.- pantry there will be a plethora of in digestible pies and cold biscuits—with in hungry, unsuspecting mortal upon whou to bestow them. There will ‘be no hard-luek tales t< listen to; no chance, to “help a jjoor man lead a 1 tetter life,” by giving him it dime to buy a drink. There’ll he no gable-ends«of pants on which to allow Tmvser to test his teeth, nor anybody to wear our wife’s east-off bloomers. For Alcssrs. AA'eary Walker. Dusty Roads and the Hard-up brothers will certainly give us the mb ride heart if Air. Nichols bill passes. Even (the title of it. is enough to drive the most hardened old hobo to water: An Act to - give l magistrates authority to make vagrants work op the public roads. m Thar won! “work” settles the thing. No sell-respecting tramp, to say noth ing of a holm, will so disgrace the “per llesh” as to soil his hands with toil. lie is not even going -to put himself in the way of temptation, if he knows if. But tho House yesterday skipped blithely along, in its discussion of this thrilling question, paying no heed to these basic principles anil fundamental facts. The hill, as first introduced and as reported back from committee, applied only to Pitt county. Air. Gilliam, of Edgecombe, amended to include Wilson and Edgecombe. Mr. Carroll, of Alamance, amended to make it apply to every comity in the Slate. Air. llartsoll. of Cabarrus, having in mind, no doubt, the arguments so ably set forth above, objected. Air. Clarkson, of Mecklenburg, re manded members that the provisions of the hill were like a dose of salts: you needn’t take il unless you need .'it. Mr. Brown, of Stanly, didn’t want anybody to play the dog-in-the-manger act and because he didn’t need it keep other folks from having it. 1 The Speaker said as he understood the bill it did not interfere with any other existing lap' —simply extended the operation of the law to vagrants. Air. Justice, of McDowell. thought Air. AYJnston-s county - convict farm, passed Thursday, accomplished the very thing j aimed at by this bill, Air. I-’oushee, of Durham, didn’t think so. Mr. Moore, of Jackson, amended by putting in his county, and thought the j bill ought to he a general law. Mr. Brown added Stanly, and others were expressing a desire to get in when Air. Boushall, of Wake, moved to re commit the hill to the Judiciary com mittee. The motion prevailed. And thus do the So lons plot against those who toil not. neither do they spin. GIVEN TEN DAYS TO RETRACT Prof. Isaac Smith Tackles a Negr Editor and Preacher. Prof. Isaac Smith, of Craven, hobbet tip in the House yesterday with anotlie point: of personal privilege. He lead the following: “Air. Speaker: I rise to a question o personal privilege. A eonneetional paper published at Charlotte.- N. C., one Rev J. AM Smith being iis editor, lias pub l i shod and given to the world Hon Isaac 11. Smith, in the North Carolin Legislature,Hind betrayed his trust. “He charges that I have proven fals to the interest of the negro race, he cause i was the tirst colored man in North Carolina to give five dollars to erect a monument to that great and good man, the late lamented Senator Y'anco, and because 1 gave the presen Speaker of this General Assembly, on of North Carolina's ablest, truest am just son, a complimentary vote. “He charges further that I vote al the time with the Democrats. WM. JOHNSON NICHOLS, OF PITT. Who Introduced the Vagrancy Bill Yes terday Discussed. “He winds up by saying, if I can suc - ceed in getting the Democrats to defer rhe constitutional amendments and the jim crow cars, that he and the race will call me great. , “Air. Speaker, this editor is a genera iff leer of A. Al. E. Zion Convention of America, and this paper is known by name as the ‘Star of Zion,' and is said to mould character and shape sentiment for one million human souls. “J. To charge l vote with the Demo crats all the time is false. ‘ “2. To charge 1 have betrayed any trust, is meanly and cowardly without 'oundation. and the editor will he given ten days to retract. . To charge, because a colored Re onhlican votes for a Democrat of the highest character and at heart good, and ‘n his soul tin- nobility of God resides md to say for this not is a betrayal o > trust to his race, is to say Senator Vance's action was a betrayal of a trust to his race when lie took his pen in hand (a friend of the colored race) and recommend to the legislature tin* pas sage of a law giving to the colored race State normal schools: is to say also tha every white man of former Legislatures and of ibis present Legislature, betray his trust to his race when he votes a tax on the property of his race (the white people) to educate the colored race. “I learn that this same J. AM Smith , D. D.. is a candidate for bishop in the next General Conference of the A. Al. E. Zion Convention. His libelous und •landerous article may give him lots of rouble yet, because there is a place for ill such birds. “I believe, beginning with the Speak •r, and each member of this Genera! Assembly, would say in tbotr dying leelaration that too gentleman from Craven has been one zealous and anxi ms- to do some tiling for his race; in •tn intelligent, diplomatic, statesman like manner, believing as lie does, there s notiiing that succeeds like success.’ “This editor undertakes to put the Legislature of North Carolina before the world in a false light, lie also under l takes to divide the two races, stirs up a bad feeling between the races, which sometimes lead up to blood shed. “He claims that the Democrats (the white people) of North Carolina are such a low class of people until if a col ored Republican should give a good white man a complimentary vote that he lias'Committed the unpardonable sin j “Mr. Speaker, I suppose the represen tatives of the great liberty-loving people of Aleeklenhurg county will notify the citizens committee that Charlotte home ! a man whose room is more desired than his presence. Y'ox populi, vox die, the voice <if tin- people is the voice of God as express in opiurihus umun one hun dred and twenty representatives and fifty Senators, yet we are one and insepara i hie, known as the General Assembly of North Carolina. “Therefore, a reflection in the way o I a libelous and slanderous publication against one member of this General As j sembly, is an indirect reflection, libelou i and slanderous publication against the entirety. "Air. Speaker, I will state in conclusion that this editor receives pay byway of a tax of fifty cent per head of the poorer class of his race—the blind, the aged and decrepit to run and conduct a strie ‘ religious paper; hut yet he publishes and gives the-race, in my opinion, a political dirty, unreliable sheet.’’ THE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. i Patent Medicines Alust Have a Label Telling YVhat’s in ’Em.
