WERE PASSED WITH VERY LITTLE T EBATE 1 New Pirectors Oosen for the Ins'i'ufion Lr the Deaf i umband Blind. The House Refuses to *merd Section 590 ts 'he Code. I At last the House has passed a Foe Hill an act reducing certain foes of county officers to a basis nave nearly in accord with the price of agricultural pro ducts. In truth, it passed three f*e hills, all in on,* day. One of them i« for Anson county and fixes the fee for registering a crop lien at HO cents and the probate fee at 10 cents. The is for John ston and Iredell counties and the fees there named are 20 and 10 cents. The third and the principal bill provides a short form for agricultural liens and fixes the fees at 30 and 10 cents. This applies to Sampson, Watauga. Ashe, Chowan. Burke, Polk. Waneu Alle ghany.

In consideration of the reduction of fees, the hill further provide.-, that tln' form book used for ••egistenpg these crop liens shall he paid for by the county commissioners. { THE NEW INSANITY LAWS. They arc Now Laws lit Truth, Having Passed Both Houses. At noon yesterday the bill to revise, amend and consolidate the insanity laws of the Statj>*\vns taken up by the House as a spcolal order. | It passed its second reading with little discussion, and on the third reading there was fio discussion at all. After the bill had been read the sec ond; time- Mr. Bor.shall. of Wake, amend ed 'it so as to strike* out the section re quiring that no two directors should re-, sale in the same county. Ho stated his reasons for believing this' section a bad one, but he failed to bring the House to his way of thinking. It tabled his amendment by a big majority. Dr. McNeill, of Brunswick, objected to the sections i(!55. 04 and Oof providing for sending the criminal insane to the penitentiary. “There is a stigma attached to being sent to the penitentiary, even when in sane, and I’m opposed to it.” But the House wasn’t. It adopted the section as it stood. Iheu Mr. Brown, of Johnston, tried to get stricken out the provision that no two of the direc tors shall reside in the same county. This, like Mr. Boushall’s amendment to the same effect, went down beneath a heavy “no" vote; and the bill passed its third reading. PFT BACK INTO OLD HANDS. T he Institution for the Deaf. Dumb and the Blind. Another special order for the day was the lull putting the Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind (white and col ored) in the hands of the Democrats. The hill was introduced Monday by Mr. McLean, of Harnett, and names as directors. B. F. Montague, 1. M. Proctor, j» Edwards, for 6 years. Hugh Mor son and W. N. Jones for -I years and J. A. Briggs ami C. N. Allen for— years. , Mr. McLean, of Harnett, explained that the Senate failing two years ago to confirm the directors appointed, the whole directorate was now vacant. The directors named were, he said, men of the very highest character who are to give their time and attention to the institution without per.diem or other remuneration. . . The bill passed without opposition or further discussion. KNOTTY OLD 590 IS SAFE. Mr. Justice’s Bill Goes to the Table With a Nail in Its Back. The most spirited debate of the day, though, was over Mr. Justice’s bill amending section 590 of the Code, in re gard to the examination of persons in terested in-the event of a trial. Mr Justice explained that section .*9O. as* it now stands, provides “that upon the trial of an action a person interested shall not be examined in his own behalf, against the executor of it deceased per- he saidfi applied only to the prin cipal “But it isj usf, and if just ought to be extended to agents. That is just what my bill proposes to do, and I hope the House will pass it. Mr. Craig, of Buncombe, hoped it wouldn't do anything of the kind, and above all that it wouldn’t do so unless it so amended as not to apply to suits now pending. Mr Justice was unwilling to so amend, but he sent forward an amend ment “that it shall not apply to agents of corporations.” Mr. I.eatherwood. of Swam, duln I think this helped matters much, for he was opposed to the bill anyhow, he said. OASTORFA fonnSa3R»«<Cimsm Kind You Have Always Bough) i Mr. Justice said the bill was endorsed by all the leading lawyers of the State, except those in the House. He said it was endorsed by Judges Clark, Avery and Shepherd, and that the Senate was a unit for it. Both Mr. Craig, of Buncombe, and Mr. Rountree, of New Hanover, made strong arguments against the bill. The result Was that Mr. Justice’s amendment was sent to the table, taking the bill with it. Once he got it there Mr. Craig “clinched” it by a motion to reconsider and lay that motion on the table. So knotty old section 590 will not be troubled again this session. THE DAY’S BUSINESS.

THE Vs HOMED SHAFT FALLS SHOHTOfITSMAHK Exoneration of Judge Brown Complete. VIR. WHIIE WILL RETRACT FAILS TO PROVE IIIS GRAVE CHARGES. iHE VvILL A-K THE RcCORD EXTJNGEO ALargeCnwd aid Much lxc*t*-ment at the Coirmittee Meeting. Ano’hcr Short Session Was Ht Id Last Night. Never did exorcration come to rum on swifter wings than to Judge Georg* • H. Brown yesterday. Never \vas that exoneration more com plete, or tin* accuser more overwhelmed with proofs of the falsity of his ehaiges. I Early in yesterdu/ - session of ill- House, Mr. White, of Davie, (Repaid can), introduced a resolution declaring * that it is u matter or politic nocof.el.. that Judge George H. Brown, Jr., was publicly drunk, and that he was m that condition at the reception by the Capital Club January 1(5, upon this statement of fact the resolution provided for rais ing a committee to investigate and re port whether Judge Brown was publicly drunk and has given just ground for impeachment. The reading of this resolution wa like the exploding of a bomb ic the House. One could literally feel the shock. Then there was the dazed .ook of inquiry from member to member as if asking: “Can this really he happen ing, may I believe my own ears?” Mr. Julian, of Rowan, was the first to get to his feet. “I move we nail that thing to the table,” he almost shrieked. Mr. I.eatherwood, of 5-wain, followed with a hissing: "I second that motion. It’s not wor thy. though, of even that nim-h notice." Mr. Allen, of Wayne, objected to this course, and asked its reference t<> the Judiciary committee, saying he knew Judge Brown would desin* that course to be taken. It was so referred. Later Mr. Allen gave notice that the Judiciary committee would hear the mat ter during the afternoon, and Mr. White was asked to be present with his evi dence. • When the com mi Fes met there was a large crowd present, for the news iiad spread ramdly. One could feel the very fever of sub pressed excitement, as the members took their places around the table. Mr. White, with eyes sunk far back into his head bul blazing like live coals, placed up and down the room. He was there lo tiy to make good his charge and that is I why he was first put on the stand. Tin* first, witness put on the stand was Mr. White (Rep ), of Davie, introducer of tile resolution. Ju'igc Allen “Mr. While, -h> y-.u know Judge Brown?” Mr. White—‘No sir. I have never seen him, that I recollect.” Judge Allen—“ Then you know, of your own knowledge, nothing of ihe facts set forth in your resolution?" Mr. White “Only oliu his uecn rohl me by others.” j Judge Allen —“Have you any witness es that you desire summoned?” j Mr. White—“Mv witnesses tire: Cur rie, of M oore; Davis, of Haywood; J. W. Ferguson, (J. E. Leach, and J. 11. Poti.” 1 Mr. Carroll, of Alamance, moved that the chairman be instructed to subpoena these witnesses immediately. It was done. 1 Mr. Gilliam, of Edgecombe, asked Mr. I White if he voted for Judge Norwood’s mpeachment. > Mr. White—“ No. The reason I didn’t do it, though, was that I didn’t: think he was judge.” Judge Allen—“ Air. White, where was this resolution type-written?” j Mr. White —”1 don’t know.” Judge Allen —“Will you tell this com mittee, Air. Waite?” “I don’t think that necessary.” “Did you prepare this resoluLi <a?” “I and others did.” “Who are the others?” “1 don’t consider that you have any thing to do with that.” ] “Then you decline to answer?” I “1 insist on your summoning the wit nesses whose names I have furnished.” i All*. McLean, of Harnett —“Where did you get your information?” Mr. Whitt —“I heard it talked around among the members.” “What members?” “The witnesses among others.” Mr. Rountree —“Did your over see Judge Brown drunk in the perforniaue of his official duties?” Air. White —“No.” “Drunk on the street?” “No. Fve never seen him at all drunk or sober.” “lias anybody ever told you they saw him drunk?” “Yes.” “\\ ho?” I “Davis, of Haywood.” I “Win re?” “At the Capital Club.” “On what occasion?’’ “At the reception.” “What reception?” “A public reception, about a month ago.” “Were you there?” “No.” “Were you invited?” “No.” Air. F. 11. 15 u slice said it was not a public root ption, but a private one “given by a number of gentlemen.” Air. E. W. Pou—“When did this in formation come into your posession?” Air. White—“ Sunday afternoon.” Judge Allen—“ Have you ever heard it charg'd that Judge Brown was drunk on any other occasion?” Air White —“I don’t know that I have.” “Then why do von put In vour rose lotion habitual drunkenness?” “Some of tin* witnesses stated that he had been drunk on other occasions.” Catarrh Leads to Consumption. A Forerunner of the Most Fatal Disease. Though its offensive features nro sometimes almost unbearable, few people are aware of the danger of which Catarrh is tho forerun ner. Catarrh invariably leads to Consumption. Growing worse and worse each winter, those who rely upon the usual treatment of sprays, washes and inhaling mix tures find that it is impossible to check the disease with these local applications which only reach the surface. The offensive discharge increases all the while, causing a feeling of personal defilement, and gets deeper and deeper until it is only a question of a short time until the lungs are affected. The importance of the proper treatment can therefore be readily appreciated. But no good what ever can be expected from local applications, as such treatment never did cure Catarrh, and never wiil.< Mr. Pou —“Now Jet's have the truth about this ninthr. Did you draw that resolution?” Air. White—“ That’s got nothing to do with tiie truth or falsity of the charges. I don’t think the answer to that ques tion essential to this investigation. 1 offered the resolution in good faith and I want it investigated.” Mr. Pou—“But did you draw that res olution?” Air. White —“I decline to answer.” Mr. Gilliam said it was evident the resolution was prompted by malice and spite and he didn’t think the commit tee ought to take up time with it. It’s malice and spite, not specially against Judge Brown, but against the party he represents. “1 was at the reception. I know then are no facts to support this resolution, o: even to warrant an investigation. Judge Brown is a endit to the judiciary •o‘ tin* State.” Air. AL Lean, of Harnett, said if it developed that this resolution had been gotten tq* for the purpose of blackening the eharaet* i- of a public man, the au thor of it ought to he expelled from the House. “Judge Brown is a man of tin* highest character. He is an honor to that high position to which lie has attained by his own efforts. He has now about reached the meridian of life, and if this ruan (pointing to Air. White) now comes here and maliciously tries to put him : n a** unfavorable light, tries to be smirch >his honorable name—l say if ti- • i a ll <■*' slot s here and nothing fur ther developos—l will, myself, introduce a resolution expelling the introducer *-f tins impeaching resolution from tin* House.” Air. Carroll, of Alamance, said (he would favor such a resolution. Mr. White- “Do you then refuse to summoh my witn sses?” Judge Allen—“We have refused noth ing.” Air. Rountree—“lt occurs to me that we had better go through with the tes timony offered befor considering Air. McLean’s suggestion as to expulsion. Air. C. AI. Btishee. who a ripen red ont 1 as a friend of Judge Brown, suggested that both the matters be consider'd to gether—that the committee, while hear u><>- the evidence produced by Air White, also keep in mind the question of contumacy. Mr. Winston, of Bertie, said he knew Judge Brown ami in li is behalf he asked the freest and fullest investigation. Judge Brown would he satisfied with nothing short *>f that. Alt*. Leatberwood. of Swain, thought tin* matter had already gone far enough. “The introducer of this resolution ought to have the manhood to conn* forward now and make a retraxit, and stop this devilish, infernal thing. It hears falsehood on its face. Any man ought to lie ashamed to present u thing like this to a committee <>f honest men. as I hope we are.” Air. E. W. I’ou said he had witnesses who were at tin* club summoned, and they all would give the lie to the charge. He said Judge Brown was punctual at court during the week he was here. He transacted properly the business before the court, keeping up with the grand jury. There was in* indication of his drinking. At the conclusion of Air. Foil’s re marks Judge Allen again called Air. White to the stand. He said: “Mr. White, the committee has asked certain question which you have declin ed to answer. The committee is dispos ed to insist on an answer to these ques tions; Did yon write the resolution intro duced by you and now before the com mittee?” ”1 did not write it myself.” “Who prepared it?” “I was assisted by one, W. V. Hall, at the suggestion of others.” Mr. Rountree—“ls Ilall the fellow that wears that flaming red tie?” ’’Judge Allen—“ Who was present and aided you?” ”Alr. Burrow and Air. Carter, mem bers of the House.” “Anybody else consulted in this mat ter?” "I talked it over with several people Sunday.” “With whom?” “Air. Davis, of Haywood: Rev. Air. Kendall, an assistant enrolling clerk, and others.” “Have you conferred with anybody else?” “Yes, I’ve talked with several others whose names 1 do not remember.” “Aiiyt-.ndy not connected with the Leg- I isluture?” , “Don’t know that I have.” (Continued on Sixth Page.) ; “I had such a severe case of Catarrh | that I lost my hearing in one ear, and ; part of the bone in my nose sloughed off. I was constantly treated with sprays and washes, but each winter ! the disease seemed to have a firmer j hold on me. I had finally been de clared incurable when l decided to try S. S. S. It seemed to get right at I the seat of the disease, and cured me permanently, for I have had no touch j of Catarrh for seven years. “Mbs, Josephine Polhiix, “Due West, S. C.” Those who have had the first touch of Catarrh will save endless suffering by tak ing the right remedy at the outset. Others who have for years sought re- $ | lief and found only disappoint ment in local treatment will find lit wise to waste no further time on sprays, washes, inhaling mi» ! tures, etc., which are only tempo rary and can not save them from Consumption. Catarrh is n deep seated blood disease. S. S. S. is j the only remedy which can reach the very bottom of the disease and cure it permanently. Books sent free by the Swift Specific Company, Atlanta.
