Boyden Bill Special Order for Friday in House State Good Roads Bill Considered Today. Special to The Times. Raleigh, February 22. The House was overwhelmed -with tne enormous number of new bills today, not one of general State importance. The-total now nearly reaches the fifteen hundred mark. - The Boyden Senate bill for State building is set as special order for Friday in. the Louse. . In the Senate most of the session was devoted to argument of one of the most important bills before this legis lature, namely Boyden-Sikes, State ighway (Good Roads) bill. Contrary to expectations the numer- as amendments suggested today on he final reading of the Revenue bill x the House committee of the whole, ;ere lost. Bill will be adopted by ommittee this evening. The Avery county bill passed third reading and North Carolina now has 3ven one hundred counties. LLEWXAM. Others Important Matters Awaiting Action. Senator Cotten's measure embody ing the Torrens System of Land "Ti tles is one of the really important bills which is scheduled to be disposed o f this week. It will have its initial hearing in the Senate where the mi nority report of the committee (it having been reported adversely by the committee recently, much to the sur prise of its friends) which incorpo rate the bill has been set as the spe cial order for Wednesday. Without any intention to criticise unjustly the members of the bar, it is understood that the unfavorable re port is due to the hostility of the le Tal profession which is always so - lrgely represented in every legisla?- ture. Land owners, bankers and oth ers are hearty friends of the measure end for reasons one of which causes the lawyers to oppose it, it is said ihe fact that it will relieve land own ers of the expense of paying: lawyers fees for examining titles every time a piece of real estate is sold or its owner finds it necessary to borrow money with land as security. But for this opposition it is believed the bill would-be jas.sed practieally without , opposition and its friends hope to pass : it anyway, over such opposition. The matter of good roads (State Highway Commission)" is a. matter that is clamoring for attention this week. The Senate has reported a committee substitute for the bills pre sented on the subject, but whether it will be" adopted by both houses is still a question, one that will be settled probably this. week or early next week. There as a number of other impor tant measures pending that'eannot be forecasted in detail here. In order to give them even a limited consideration afternoon and. night sessions as well as the more important morning ses sions will be held daily (from now on.' Decision of the Joint Caucus. Much interest attaches to the action of the joint Democratic caucus which was postponed from last Friday night to Wednesday nigbt of this week. Two of the most important of a number df questions it will be called upon to set tle will be the matter of Tedistricting the State for congressmen and the enactment (or not) of the proposed "Legalized -State Primary.' ' , The delay in acting on the latter proposition is unquestionably due to some powerful influence or influences, else it would have have been disposed of before this. While special pains appear to have been taken in some quarters to impress the newspaper men here that there is practically no opposition to it, there is undoubtedly an undercurrent of opposition that has not yet clearly revealed itself. Still, I should say with all the lights before me, that the demand for such a pri mary is such that it will prevail when ; the matter is finally acted upon, and that its friends are able to prevent it ' from failing by default. Whether the plan of action with re spect to the strengthening of the pres- ( cut . anti-trust law will be discussed at)i acted upon in the caucus does not I sulliciently appear to hazard a predie I t ion . . . ! , LLEWXAM.

The property, is owned bv the Joel Reed family and is being worked by Mr. A. M. Cox, of Mt. Pleasant. Mr. Cox has about a half bushel of these specimens in the quartz and they are very pretty. The vein is being worked at a depth of about 35 feet through ground that has not been, worked theretofore. The vein is very promising at present and enlarges as it is followed. Topograph ically this property is really a part of the old Reed mine where the large nuggets were found some years ago, a history of which is generally known in our county. - Cold Wave Has Not Damaged Eastern Carolina Truck Yet. s Rocky Mount, Feb. 22. The cold wave here has not damaged truck yet. Neither radish, peas nor let tuce are showing" any bad effects. The strawberry crop will be held back from two weeks to twenty days owing to a cold wave which is considered a God-send to hold back premature budding and blooming. The run of shad has just begun, but will not be plentiful until the river becomes warmer. Tben large ship ments will go forward. It is thought that all peaches, plums and pears now in full bloom will be killed, also huckleberries This will enable berry growers to get better prices. Some Old Papers and Documents. Mr. John A.
