Lawa Pawed by Last Leglslamre Re lating to Concord and Cabarrua County. We are indebted to Representative Stickley for the following resume of the laws passed by the late Legislature re lating to the City of Concord and the cojnty of Cabarrus: It may be of some interest to the public to know what laws were passed by the General Assembly of 190f relat ing to the City of Concord and Cabar rus coufty. The game law passed in 1903 was re pealed and the law now in force was enacted in 1901. The road law was amended so as to give the county commissioners the right to discontinue any road that they may deem not necessary for public travel The commissioners heretofore had this right but under the new rosd law of the county this was not specifically set out, and it was thought better to make the power plain. A new landlord and tenant act was passed that requires the landlord to comply, under a penalty with bis part of the contract, and makes the tenant, also, under penalty to carry out his part of the contract. There was quite a demand' upon the legislature to protect the farmer from a class of tenants who would be supported during the winter and summer and then when they had received about all they expected from the farmer, they would abandon the crop, and leave it to me iarmer to gather, and pay the bills. This act is intended to remedy this condition of affairs. The act regulating the sale of seed cotton was so amended that the pur chaser is now required not only to keep a record of the persons from whom he buys the cotton but also to keep a record of the owner of the land on whieb the cotton was raised. There was a general law passed to aid the Sheriffs of the several counties to aid each other in the collection of taxes. This act requires the sheriffs and tax- collectors of one county or town to use the same diligence in collecting the taxes from other counties and towns as thfjv use in making the collection of their own taxes. The charter of the City of Concord was so amended as to create a Board of Light and Water Commissioners who are to take charge of toe ugnt ana water plants belonging to the town. This board wss allowed to borrow the money to pay off the indebtedness of these plants, and pledge the revenues for them in paymeut of same. The City of Concord wts also allowed to sell its lot on West Dtpot Btreet at a private sale. The merchants tax provision of the revenue act was repealed. Another act of general interest to the State was to put in operation a law to prohibit the operation of "bucket shops." There was a great demand from many of the towns for a more stringent law on this subject, because manv business men and clerks were giving themselves up to this gambling spirit, and neglecting their proper busi ness. Many members of the Jegisla' ture sought the advice of the leading men of the State who always advised that these institutions were very dan gerous evils, and should be gotten rid of. The legislature repealed all the divorce laws that were passed since 1883. . tores Cloalng at T O'clock.
