2 R Chapter of History THE ACTS OF THE LAST GENERAL ASSEMBLY CLASSIFIED. The Magnificent Showing the State Makes in the Departments of Education and Com merce as Shown by New Schools and Business Enterprises, Tin* following classified list of th<* laws, complete with the exception of a few to h<> giv n hereafter, passed by the (tenoral Assembly, which has just adjourned is much more than it mere 1 dry recapitulation of Acts. It is a chap- < lt*r of history, infinitely suggestive and instructive. Through tin* last General .Assembly, more Chan through any that lms nu t for years, the hope ami will and aspira tion of the people of the State found free and intelligent voice -what North Carolina is doing and is to do. in edu cation. in sociology, in j*>litiex, in char ity, in business is indicated. In any and n till the showing is one of which North Carolinians have reason to h proud. The |*< int of view, of course, is not that law making makes i people prosperous or intelligent: it is only that behind till the laws passed there was a demand among the people concern-:'ti the law is only the index of it. Wheth er it was to incorporate a bank or a railroad, a cotton mill < r a .school: to ap propriate SIOO,OOO to the public schools of the State or to buibl tip its higher institutions of learning, it was done by the last Assembly only hecaus L there was a legitimate demand for it. Then* was a great deal of legislation but there was little making of laws for the fun of it. Hence tk value and instructive mss of the work done. There was much more local md pri vate legislation than was expected, for which the plain and evident reason was the change of political parties with the necessity to undo much of the itmmtis faetory. and' in mahy instances partis an or bungling, legislation of the past four years. Dismissing this class of laws from consideration there still remains a great deal of legislation that is of State wide interest ami broad significance. It is noticeable that there was much legisla tion touching two vital interests—edu cation and commerce—showing an awakening in those things in regard to which, heretofore,- out people have been most tardy. The number of pri/uto schools chartered ami graded schools established in the downs all over the State will be noted. The commercial outlook is bright if the incorporation of railroads, mills, banks, insurance and other companies means anything. Another evidence of growth that will attract attention is the amount of im provement in the way of putting in light, water and sewerage plants in tie* smaller towns of the State that was -provided for. An equally noticeable but far less gratifying feature of the statutes of 1899 is the special taxes that counties have found it necessary to levy in or der to m et obligations, 'imposed only too often by the ignorant management of those swept into place by the recent regime.
