Mr, Hoover moved to amend by ; striking out the amount for a new ' building. Iula said he had visited this institu tion amfsaw the necessity for a new building for a female depart merit. Mr. ( i rant also stated the crowded condi tion ot this hospital and the appeals that had come up which necessitated this additional building that many female insane now in jail may be taken in and cared for.

He made the same stnxng appeal he did Saturday night w hen the bill passed its second reading. Mc Caskey supported t he amendment.

Moody of Haywood thought the bill should be enacted into law. lie was as uncompromising as any man in pol itics, whenever he went into the arera but, when a foe was down he could be ' as generous, and this official now seek ing relief was as justly entitled to it as other ollicials who deposited the conn tv funds in the Hank of Mew Han over. Fowler said, as an honest man, he could not singfle out Captain Kenan 1 and refuse him that relief given to al ; most any other otticer who had lost money in this Kank of New Hanover It would be an injustice he could not perpetrate upon a man who ditt'ered with him in politics.

Lindsay ix-nt up an amendment to strike out f &. mi. Adams said tins was a death blow at the penitentiary from which it would not recover in the next ten years. Lindsay said he did not send up his amendment unadvisedly. The law said the penitentiary should be self-sustaining, and just as ng as we keep on giving this institution moiiej just so long will we be compelled to do so. McCaskey said the amount asked fjr was absolutely necessary. This was t';e only State institution that b;-.s he- refused all it asked for. I'addison said he thought this the most reasonable and moderate appro priation that the (.eneral Assemblv will have made. Moody of Haywood hoped the amend ment would be adopted. Let's pav the debt the institution owes and let it take care of itself for the next two years, by economy in it farming inter- prises.

The bill v. a advocated by Smith of Stanly an.: Turner of Mitchdl. These gentlemen advocated the im portance of having a convict farm in the west as well a in the eal, for the health of the patients. To bring convicts from the munn tains to this farm on the Roanoke, Mr. Turner Mid, meant death to the con victs. These farms give profitable in payment for the women and children among the convicts and the men who are unable to work on railroads. Johnson, of Sampson, advocated the measure. Campbell, of Cherokee, opposed it. He believed that this Caledonia farm would be a moth, an fating moth, on the treasury of the Slate for "the mxt wenty years. He wanted the con victs for t he railroads. Fending the discussion of this bill, a messenger appeared with a larire num ber of enrolled bill, w hich wt re read by their titles mid signed by I he peaker.

Henderson opposed the purchase lw- eause it would require a bond issue to pay for the farms, and the Republi cans and I'opulijts and I leniocrats l ad all condemned Mr. Cleveland for issu ing bonds. There was a job in this thing for somebody. Tlie farms don't pay now and they wont pav if the State liu vs t hem. Kryau opposed the farm purchase. He iaid that four of the committee were opposed to the report, and he presented a minority report r i om mending that the hill'do not pass.
