' . ' j' ' j' The bill was read by sections. There was considerable discussion of a section in regard to the tax on peddlers, i efforts being made to reduce it,! but .all such amendments were voted down.

In some counties, he said, while liquor was made, nose was sold in small quantities, and this amendment would make each distiller a bar keeper. Mr. Lilhngton said that tne law allow ing the Sale in quauuuen a suiau as a. quart had prevailed up to 1891, He honed Mr. Wateoa's amendment would nrftvail. L Messrs. Blair and Taylor, of Halifax, favored the amendment also. Mr. Starnes asked whyvtake from the hands of tJie retailers and from the super- vision of the counties the sale of liquor. This amendment wouiu, remove au if strictions.

The result was ayes, 43 j noes, 44, so the amendment was lost, j v ; The amendment allowing the salenu 100 yards of the place 'of manufactrle1 was adopted. ! This matter out of the way.i another amendment was offered, this being to leave the g-rantinsr of liouor licenses to the legal discretion of the county com missioners. The debate was quite warm. Several speakers said jthe amendment was a dangerous one, and that they had been elected upon ah understanding that the law as now should Btand, : Mr. McKenzie offered the i amend ment, ' i Mr. Long said that the liquor business was legalized Dy the state. That wat unquestioned. He would not speak oi the morality of the business. He sail-, that the , whole section (34 ought to be considered. A '-; violation of the law gives power to revoke th license. - The power in regard to the sale of liquor has been in some cases arbitra rily used. The sentiment is in favor of license of liquor. , All these matters have been discussed fully before the commits tee. . . :...' ,.- - . i in the course of discussion there was a rather lively scene between Mr. Long and Mr. Holt. J: Mr. Long said the section (34) was wise and of value to the State and Democrats. In conclusion he ; said the amendment was about the same as passing the prohi bition law. He made a very, forceful speech. i (Some other minor amendments to several sections were adopted. The rate of general taxation is not yet acted on and may be increased above the 20 cents named in the bill. This matter, stand open.) . ' - The committee at 1 :45 o!clock rose and reported pr ogress. (As it stands section 34 with McKenzie's amendment "gives .dis cretion in errantine licenses. . whereas the bill ..givesno-.diseretion whatever. Mr. ljong says that the amendment takes away $60,000 of taxes, because, as he de clares in many cases where the commis sioners have discretion they will refuse ta grant licenses. He says that this amend ment will require an increase it the general tax to sj3 cents. ) - The House took uo a bill to appropriate $1,500 for a normal school at CaHowhee, Jackson county. It passed.

BUSrNESs"oF THE WEEK, Excitement in Speculative Circles No Increased - Feaj. as to Money Matters Business Good at the South Cotton '. Factories, ! Prospering. New York, Feb. 24 R. G. Dun & Cb's weekly report of trade will say; The collapse of the coal combination formed year ago by the Reading railway and the sharp depression in Sugar stocks and a few railway stocks have made the week one of unusual excitement in speculative circles. But while $3,090,000 gold has gbne abroad this week and $500,000 more is expected to go to-day, there is no in crease of apprehension about the monetary future, and the business world pays little attention to the action or inaction ot Congress, though the increasing proba bilities of an extra session are regarded with some interest. i The volume of trade has not been di minished, except by severe storms and the holiday Wednesday, and the activity of the ereat industries is unchecked. At Memphis trade is locking- up, and business is fair at Nashville, though col lections are not quite so good. At At lanta trade is good. Mobile reports fair trade and satisfactory collections, and at New Orleans general trade is only fair, but building contracts are heavy, the mills having all the orders they can fill. Sugar is in hght demand and rice dull. Savannah reports dull trade but active demand for money, while at Charleston trade is improving. Iron is etui the weakest of the great in dustries and pig not of best brand is a shade weaker than a week ago. Business ih bars is unsatisfactory. Plates are vpry weak, and, while the( structural works are run oi orders, competition is so snarp I m m a . Ml' V that prices have little chance to improve.

The news is just to hand of a fearful storm in Wilkes county a night or two ago: It was the severest from 9 o'clock p. m. to 2 a. m. There was almost continuous roar, and the timber poping as it swayed back and forth, sounded like advancing artillery. Corn cribs, smoke houses, barns and dwellings were unroofed. Many fami lies fled to the fields for safety. Great damage was done to orchards. People are busy gaiAerhjg up their fodder, etc.:, which was scattered by the wind and cutting fallen timber from the roads. x ; Wash Church's! dwelling was burned on the same night and everything he had in it was destroyed. .

The Committee on Counties this evening heard argument on the Senate bill : to create the county of Elkin,-and after ;hree hours considera tion decided almost unanimously to re port the bill unfavorably to-morrow. Only one committeeman voted for the bill. This means! the end of all new county projects a this session, - The New Ydrk Stock Market. New York, Feb! 24. A decidedly bear ish sentiment existed in all stocks thia morning, but the day developed a mate rial change in tiis respect, and while little resistance wfas given to the decline in the leading weak stocks, the narket, as a wnoie, again; showed a disposition to break away from the influence of these stocks, as their movements were the re sult of special causes, and not iusti- fied by the general situation. The outgo of Kold for to-morrow was re duced to a mere - nominal sum and money was defcidedly - easier than for some time before the holiday. While little attention was paid to these in fluences, they evidently had their full ef and a weak, feverish and unsettled spec ulation was changed into a 6trong one. Reading and its affairs occupied still the most prominent p&sition in the view of the street, but thejje was a decidedly bet ter feeling. The price was depressed on ly a fraction, and a full and substantial rally was in progress durmg most of the entire day, finally! closing at 30, with a net gain of If per cent. It was some what handicapped however by the cause of its ally, New England. The traders found this stock n- easy prey and un doubtedly heavy! liquidation was, per formed while the pears uncovered stop orders continuously and from 37 last evening ... it declined to 28f, with hardly a rally worthy of the name and finally closed at 29c, with a net loss of 18 per cent. Only one other prominent j feature marked the dealings, which was Sugar. The belief was general that the liquidation m pro gress was for acccjunt of & pool, and a decline of nearly a per cent to 111$ was established in the forenoon. The ap pearance of S. Vi j White in the crowd turned the course pf the price and almost a full recovery before the close was es tablished, primarily by his purchases. Among the otliel 'Industrials Cordage was especially we4k in the. forenoon, rer tiring to 57 against 624 last nierht and " in A1 ! JH 1 It- i uis aiso a iuu recovery was orougnt about. Among railroad stocks all show ed material advances at the close of $he day, but the mostlprominent movement was m the Coalers, which had been un duly depressed of late by vague rumors of something to transpire of an unfavor able nature. .Lackawanna to-day rose 4 per cent, to 147 aald the others propor tionate amounts, thus revealing the prin cipal source of the late selling. Lacka wanna then closed with a net gain of 8 per cent. Among other substantial gains were Manhattan, 8 per cent at 160, and Lead 1 per cent. The general list showed a firm temper and fractional advances are the rule. ij John W:Mackay Shot.

The principle debate was over the question whether the Utah Commission, which ha3 been in 'existence for the last ten yedrs, should be abolished as pro posed by the House1 or continued-in office as recommended by the Senate Committee on Appropriations.

HOUSE OF REPRESENT! VES. :' The Anti-Option ibill met with another set back, the House determining by a vote -f yeas, 145; hays, 84; to resume consideration of the Indian Appropria tionbiU. -j 4 After a debate, the paragraph appro priating $558,000 for arrears of interest claimed by the Chickasaw Indians was stricken from the bill. A few moments before the hour of 5 o'clock, Mr. Hatch, who was presiding over the Committee of the Whole left the chair and addressing: his successor. said that for three; legislative days the inaian dui had been under consideration. There was not, he continued, an intelli gent member of the House who did not absolutely know that at this hour of the session the Appropriation bill was be ing used as a . means of obstructing the consideration of the Anti-Option bill and that the opponents of the'; latter measure, the friends of the demonetiza tion of silver and the friends of the Sen ate rider to an appropriation bill, were in an absolute agreement and conspiracy and no gentleman from this time until 12 o'clock to-morrow! week could 'shield himself under, any sort of subterfuge, unless he was willing to go on record not only as opposed to ;the Anti-Option bill, but as the opponent! of silver and the friend of the 3 per cent, amendment. The House was brought face to face with this issue and he gave notice that he would continue this struggle against the interest of Lombard street and Wall street until the people's rights were preserved. Mr, Coombs called; the gentleman to order, f The gentleman was impuenine the motives of members of the "House, a thing that he had no right to do. Jur. Match replied that he was impugn ing no one s motives. He was merely stating the parliamentary status. The motives of the gentlemen rested in their own breasts and they could explain those motives to their constituents. The committee then rose, ; Mr. Holman again asked that there be a 'formal concurrence in the Senate amendments to the Sundry Civil Appro priation bill, with exception of the Sher man amendment. I : Mr. Bland If it be understood that one legislative day be given to the discussion of that amendment I have no objection. M. Hatch But I do object.
