Underwood replied that he had
never known one to arrest - anyone
when he captured "one of those coffee
pots. He proposed to amend that no
fees be paid unless the officer catch
the man with-the still. ,
Mr. drant offered an amendment to
pay $15 instead of $25 and took the
floor to oppose the bill,' and Bowie
was up in a minute to interrogate Mr.
Grant, and the gentleme from Ashe
and Davie performed stunts in tne
question' and repartee departments to

the "republican as to his politics,

enuers, reduiments of the law and
sundry matters of more or less per

could stand it no longer and Mr. Bow
ie had to keep his seat. Mr. Murphy
for and Mr. Julian against the bill
got into it, and the sergeant at Arms
got busy, but he did not have to use
more than moral suasion.
Messrs. Currle and Bowie spoke for
the-: bill, and Messrs. Henderson and
Rascoe against the last-named in
sisting that the original motion of
Mr. Underwood to table was the prop
er thing, as there had been a tacit un
derstanding that there was to be no
liquor legislation at this session. The
advocates of the bill, some of whom
had; opoBed prohibition, contended
that It was for the purpose o"f giving
State prohibition a fair chance, and
that It was not, right to' expect the
sheriffs to undertake the extra gazard
of his work ?. without some recom
nense. Finally the Graham amend
menl, with a further proviso reducing
the fee from 125 to $20, was adopted,
and the bill was passed on second
reading, an amendment by' Mr. Rose

STl'DENTS HOWL HARDIE DOWN.
City Attorney W. D. Mclver, who
has untiringly labored for certain
bills for the interest of New Bern,
said today that all bills of interest
to the city had been passed with the
exception of the Recorder's Court.
This he thought would pass today, and
if it did it would pass with the pro
vision that it be submitted to a vote
of the people.
The bills effecting the county, he
said, were probably dead. These are
the bills providing for stated salaries
for county officials and allowing three
of the county commissioners to remain
in office four years. Mr. Mclver was
obliged to return to the city owing to
important legal business in this city
to come up today.
