A -.r.rpr sud hy rate were also bui,ed, with other farming iruple ment8i. Pne wagon and two young calves were tin only things saved. The origin of the fire is mjsteri ous. 15m sh piles were being burned several hundred yards below the bi n late in the evening, and some think it caught from sparks, whil otbei'8 believe the fire was the work of a band of thi- ves wno iDfest tk city. It having occumd so early in th night, though, this Jatter acion is haidly probable. US to insurance on th?

The reel company, however, were of no service, as the bose would not reach the fire. But they could have prevented a Fpread. The colored jvcp'e with the hooks and ladders did all in their power. The barn was well nigh consumed when tb.2 department renc ed the spo, as the fire had a good headway when discovered. ; Two very important nn-etir-ss were brrVen np by the ai.-tpn.

Mr. Winecoif was fortunately blessed in haying his fine team, of mules hired out. Ham That Wasn't Ham. Wednesday night when the fire alarm sounded and everybody was on the move, some sneak thief took chances and swiped one of those large sample ba'xs that hang- in front of Warren Coleman's store. The thief was disappointed.however, as the ineide of the canvass was not ham, but sawdust. It was only a sign. After discoyering his mistake, -the stuffed canvass was layed on the step leading to the froot door of Jim Galloway's home, in rear o; 'Squire W J Hill's shop, where Chief Boger recovered it. Concocting a IMannlble explanation They were determined to concoct an explanation that would exonerate the clerVg, ar.d thus, if possible, keep tne blame cfF the Fu.,;.ou party. Bat this was a bi contract, and they floundered around looking for a plausible explanation. At last they found it. Listen : Mr. Pearson's con ten tin is that the Speaker ar.d Lieutenant Gover nor never signed the bill that has caused such consternation, but that covering of another bill, which was Bigned by the two presiding officers, was slij ptd on this bill by some one, and it thus became a law.

J. Cbawjobd Bigos. THE ORIGINAL BILL. And the Billaa Amended by Reformer III!cmao, of t'abarrns. We print a fac simile ef the en tries made oa. the bill. It will be seen that is h House bill No. 1018, and that it neyer went to the Senate at. all. It was introduced by Mr. Smith, of Stanly, and passed first reading February 20th atd was re ferreu to the Finance Committee. "Fav. (favorable) report" was the eatry trom the Finance Committe', but the lavorable report was accom panied by an amendment of which more later. In the Speaker's handwriting are the words: "Special" order, Friday evening, 8:30." It is also stamped "Tabled, Mjrch 12 1 h. 1&05." As a muter of f tct the bill was tabled on-March lltb This fao simile tells the tale of the whole bill, and shows that there v as 'vomething rotten in Denmark." The following is the original bill, and shows the hand Reformer Hile man had in it : The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact : Section 1. That all conditional sales, assignments mortgages or deeds in trust which are executed to ee cure any debt, obligation, note or bond which fives preferences to any creditor of the maker, shall be abso lutely Toid as to existing creditors, excepc those given to secure cash advanceu at the time of the execu tion of the same, or to secure ad vancement for farming purpoees. Sec 2. That all laws in cotilict with this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 3. This act shall be in force 'ro?ii and after its ra'ificition. Ou the bill is this eutry : "rheFipftr.c? Committee report thh bill favorably with th! follow ing amendment, recommended by the committee. (Signed) IIilemax." Amend by striking out in Section 1, all after ..he wcrd "creditors" ia ine five of said section. Why did llilemon want to strike out that portion of the bill except ing "those given to secure crsh ads yances at the time of the execution of the S3me or to Becure advance ment for farming" purposes ?" Did he do this at the suggestion of Northern merchants? or was it changed of his own motion ? Why did he amend it by prohibiting all mortgages ? What was he driving at? Raleigh News and Observer. The Enrolling Committee Vouch fcr t. After enrolling the bill the Litu tenant Governor and tie Speaker of the II.' use did not sign it until it was certified to them by the corn ndttee on enrolled bills that it was a correct copy of the bill. The members of the committee on enrolled bills that it was a correct copy of the bill. The members of the committee who signed this certificate, which was in these words : "Examine! and found correct," were : From the House J A Walker, Populist, of Rockingham county; Z Taylor, Populist, of Cumberland county, and E V Cox, Republican, of Pitt county. From tne Senate O A Starbuck, Republican, of GuiK ford county, and J M Aloody, Repub lican, of Haywood county. Observe : Not a Democrat on the committee certified, "Examined and found correct." Observe further: Not it piugle solitary Democrat was employed in either the Principal or Enrolling Clerk's of office. If any body paid anybody to forge the bill through, no Democrat was in a position to be involved. Somebody furged the bill through. Who did it ? And who are the sworn and paid clerks who did it or connived at it? Senator Fortun, Repulican from Cleveland, wasn't far wrong when he suggests; "There is some thing rotten in Denmark." Ra!ei.h Observer. What the Populist Leader Remember Mr. Hileman admits that he le por ted the bill from the Finance committee, with amendment that certain portions of the bill stricken out. He also says that be was in the House and heard the motion made to table, but does not remember who made the motion. He does not ex plain why he reported favorably the amendment to strike out the except ions in Mr. Smith's bill which were in the interest of the farmers. The people would like the Reformer" to explain his ao'.ion. Rileigh Ob' server.

INSTRUCTION President Eliot In a recent lecture before the Lowell Institute uttered these significant words : "Instruction to Individuals Instead of to classes Is coming to the front. A single special faculty In a mind otherwise dull, detected a.id trained, may make all the difference between a useful and useless life, a happy and a miserable one." How better can you detect the particular bent of your child's mind. the special channel In which his ability lies, than in securing for your home that greatest of all libraries, the Encyclopaedia. Britannica, now for a short time placed within your easy reach. With these noble books at hand your child will naturally select that line of reading which prtves to be In the line of his natural bent, for the BRITANNICA represents every line of study. President Eliot says further : "Individual Instruction has been too costly that is one reason why It has not been more Universally Adopted" And President Eliot spoke the truth. But he stopped just a hair's breadth short of the whole truth, for he should have added : "Since the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA has been brought within reach of any one who can save Ten Cents a day no one need be without Individual instruction." v No one who has the new edition of the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, we say, need be without Individual Instruction.

The court holds that the act is limited to con. ditional sales, assignments, mort gages and deeds in trust made to secure pre-existing debts and obliga tions, and that mortgages ot the nature of the one before the court, growing out of the transaction itself and executed for a present consider ation, do not come within the opera tion of the act.

Another Blunder of the .Legislature What They Would Have Mpent Had They Known How. A law was passed by the last legislature providing for the elec tion of three additional magistrates in each township, their terms to commence on April lsr, 1895. Few, if any, of these magistrates haye qualified, and they cannot now do so. 1 he offices created are. vacant be cause of the failure of the persons elected to qualify before the term began. The power f o appoint magistrates, to fill vacancies caused by failure of these elected to qualify, is vested in the Governor by chapter 288, Laws of 1895, una he appoints foi tbe fall term of six years. It is too late now for any clerk to qualify those appointed, and if they attempt to qualify them their acts will be illegal. The failure of the newly elected magistrates to qualify in time rids the people of the burden of 3,600 unnecessary magistrates, and of about $25,000 for the purchase of books, etc., for the new magistrates, which the legislators intended to spend if they had known how. The people will have to thank the Lord, and not the Legislature, for ridiing them of this burden which the Legislature voted upon them. Kaleigh Obscryer. Tnel.urkj OneCielslt.
