article, could have hail no other object
in viewjhan to hiimilatea political op
ponent by stating in his paper what
he must have known to he a falsehood
w hen he penned the article, in as much
as he is a citizen of the town in which
the gentleman referred to lived and
had his being, and as there appears
to be a disposition on the part of the'
Democratic newspapers in the State of
Xorth Carolina to misrepresent the
facts of the unfortunate encounter be
tween Shotwell and myself, I will
take the occasion to state the facts of
the case as they were, and to put for
ever to rest these slanderous misrepre
sentations of t hat unfortunate en
counter. 1 shall do so with reluct
ance, because the man w ho took part in
it is dead. When God Almighty lays
his hand upon a man, I always take my
hand off, and would do so now
if left to pursue my own inclination
and wishes in the matter. In lsn'.i,
when Shotwell was the editor of the
Asliev ille ITtizen, during a heated po
litical excitement, I got into a contro
versy with that paper. The editor was
a stranger to me. I had nev er met
that gentleman. I was in conversa
tion with the Hon. J. II. Merrimon,
w hen, not knowing t hat danger lurked
anywhere on tne face of the earth,
some one unknown to me, sneaked up
behind me and struck me with a club.
I shot at the coward, for I was armed ;
but when he turned and threw up his
arms, exclaiming, 'I am not armed.' 1
desisted from further attack. Mr.
Shotwell was indicted by the court.
He came into court and was tried be
fore Judge Bailey. When the case was
called I begged the court not to punish
the unfortunate man, and when the
court heard t he appeal he went unpun
ished, then Mr. Sm.twell lei t my
tow n. AVhen the Ku Klux broke out in
Rutherford he was arrested. I was the
solicitor of the district. I found the un-
fortunate Shotwell bound ovtr to court
I was directed by the Attorney Cen
eral of the L'nited States to prose
cute Shotwell. I absolutely refused to
doit. ' He was prosecuted by Mr. Sam
Phillips of this place. He was con
victed and sent to the Albany peniten
tiary. Shortly afterward 1 was ap
pealed to by friends of tile unfortunate
man to use my lnl'uence lor his re
lease, and at the instance of Mr. Piatt
Durham I appealed to Mr. Grant. At
my instance the President extended to
him executive clemency. He and I
came back to Xorth Carolina on the
same train. He knew he had his lib
erty at my instance, and yet he never
expressed a word of gratitude for my
serv ices in his behalf.
The committee on enrolled hills re

Mr. llileman oilt ret! au amendment
to tax lawyers .flu each. The amend
ment provoked a very spirited discus
sion which was participated in by
Mes-rs. Monroe, McKenzie. Lusk, Hen
derson ami ot iters. The vote oy this
motion was a tie, to.'.s. T he speaker
gave the casting vote in favor of the
amendment.
Mr. Monroe moved to amend by add

T he Speaker said if the gentle
man ment dentists, he would put the

ment in proper latiguage, otherwise he
would rule it out of order.)
Mr. White of Bladen, moved to
amend by adding that "no city, town
or county shall impose any additional
tax on physicians." He wanted phy
sicians to stain! on the same footing
as lawyers. The amend inent of Mr.
White was adopted and Hileman's

Mr. Robinson moved to reconsider
the vote by which the amendment to

pose a tax of 50 cents for each bed
room kept for use in all hotels ami
boarding and lodging houses kept for
the business of turnishing either
board or lodging, or both, to regular
or transient boarders for pay or hire.
Mr. Henderson thought it very un
just to tax poor willows who were
keeping boarding houses, 50 cents on a
bed, and then raise such a noise about
taxing lawyers.
An amendment was passed imposing
taxes on each ami every private busi
ness corporation (railroads, banks, and
insurance companies excepted ).a fran
chise tax in proportion to the amount
of its capital stock. By the term "capi
tal slock" in this section is meant Un
authorized amount of capital stock
lixed hy the corporation's charter, or
by the stockholders pursuant to pow
ers granted in the charter, whether the
said capital slock lias been issued by
the corporation and is outstanding or
not. That, in addition to penalties
! otherwise provided in this act, he cn-
tinned failure to pay the franchise tax
imposed by the 1st day of January,
ls'.ib, shall cause a lorleiture ol lb
charter of such defaulting ci.rporat ion,
and its charter in that event !iall be
repealed.
Mr. Hileman explained that this
amendment was proposed to meet that
class of corporations that got out char
ters to build railroads and make pub
lic improvements, ami did not make
the improvements, but held on to their
charters and kept others from enjoy
ing the privileges of the charter.

Edwards & Broughton say at first
Stewart was the lowest bidder. They
afterwards employed experts living in
Raleish that said Edwards & Brough

Democrats) never couiu no. vv e arej
going to put out this printing to

lieved that Edwards it Broughton were
the lowest bidders and they ought to
have it. -
