L. M. Currv. the agent of the Peabody fund, to ' address the General Assembly was made the occasion of a sensational de bate, which occupied nearly two hours. Leading Democrats vigorously lought the passage of the resolution becatiss it was alleged that Dr. Curry used his in fluence in behalf of Congressman Rich mond Pearson in the contest against W, T. -Crawford:' It was charged that Dr. Curry lobbied in Washington in behalf of Mr. Peareon. The fight over the adoption of the re solution was a lively one and there were many sharp passages among members on the floor of the House. The Repub licans were a unit in support of' the resolution! The opposition mustered 13 votes on fa roll call of votes. Those members voting, against the resolution were: Messrs. Blount. Brittain, Carra way, Craig, Curtis. Daniels of Warren, Fields,' Mann.. Mclver. Morgan Mor phew, Thompson, Whitaker of For sjthe. The resolution finally passed by a ote of 85 to 13. . ' The llouse. also ballotted -for United States Senator yesterday to fill the term of Senator Marion But ler, which expires March 4th. The, for mality of electing Hon. F. M.

Simmons received votes anu Congressman Richmond Pearson, the Republican nominee. 18 votes. The two Populist members did not vote,, yielding to the expressed wish of Senator But ler. The House was crowded and the eloquent speeches nominating Mr. Sim mons were enthusiastically applauded. Mr. Thompson of Onslow yesterday introduced a bill to tax the gross earn ings of railroads. It is an exact, copy of the bill which Mr. Thompson introduced in the Legislature of '99. DR. CURKY'S INVITATION FItrcaly Fongbt hj Democrats In a Very Lively Debate The House debated nearly two hours the resolution inviting Dr. .T. L. M. Curry, the general agent of the Feabody fnndto address the General Assembly. The reported declaration that Dr. Curry had lobbied at Washington in behalf of Congressman Richmond Pearson in his contest for the seat of W. T. Crawford as congressman from the Ninth North Carolina district, did not go well with a number of Democratic members, who lined up in opposition to the resolution extending the invitation. The resolution prevailed by a vote of 85 to 13. The resolution which is S. It. toy, li lt 307. came over from the Senate for ratification. No sooner had it been read than-the onslaught against the proposi tion was begun. . , ' Mr. Curtis of Buncombe first broke the euietude of the morning session and it was not long before the House -was. filled wih members and visitors. Mr. Curtis said: "We had a Congressional election two years ago in tne Ninth district and we elected W. T. Crawford to represent the district. The result was j.o declared by Republicans and .Demo crats and by the election officers, a ma jority of whom were not Democrats. The election was held under a Republi can election laV. which was declared to be so perfect that no fraud could b committed. Dr, J. L. M. Curry, whom it is pro-iosed to honor with an invi tation to address the General Assembly worked as a lobbyist to unseat Mr. Crawford.-' 1 would just as readily vote to in vite. Mr. Pearson to address the, Legis lature, and I had rather do so, because it was a matter of money to Pearson, but .1 can see no purpose in Curry ex erting himself for Pearson. Mr, Whitaker of Forsythe said that any man guilty of such an act deserved no consideration fioin the .D';inoeritiJ members' of the Legislature ani. he moved to table tho resolution. Mr Patterson of Robinson: "No man in the State has a higher regard for Mr. Crawford than I. He wes not only a Classmate of miue at college, but also a room mate. I know him and I know him well. I believe if he were here today he would rise above the situation and say invite Dr. Curry. Dr Cnrry is one of the foremost educators in "the Union. At this time especially this Legislature should rise above politics and invite to address it such a distinguished educator. Ilr.' Currv mav have done wronsr. .-If he ; did as charged he did do wiong. Ru.: (realizing his 1 standing as an educator and realizing the great good he has done for thev caused of education, we should adopt this resbultion.-r ' -' Mr. WTatts of? Iredell wanted to know if the State was not deriving nome rev enue from Dr. "Curry for educational purposes. Mr. Patterson replied affir matively. - Judge Connor said Dr. Curry was the agent of the Peabody fund and that he had charge ' of the . distribution of" the fund, which went largely to the normal Schools.:" j' - i' ' Mr. .Watts said if the State was finan cially benefitted by the Peabody fund he did not think any discourtesy should be shown Dr. Curry. Mr. Curtis of Buncombe : ''We had just as well pass' a . resolution compli mentary to Mark II anna aisd see if we can't get some money out of him.' :Mr.V McNeill of. Brunswick: f "We should not be guilty, of such discourtesy to such a distinguished gentleman and educator.'" Mr. Mann of Hyde: "The gentleman from Buncombe said he had reliable in formation that Di' Curry lobbied .for Pearson. For the benefit of myself and other members 1. wish he would, give this information.". ' - Mr. Curtis of Buncombe: "I saw a letter from Mr. Hairy Martin, son-in-law of . Senator Vance, saying he did so. Mr. Busbce was iu- WSu.ngton as counsel and he - aid Dr. Curry lobbied for Pearson. - ' - - - ' Mr. Craig of Buncombe: "I agree with everything " Mr., Patterson has said about the ability of Dr. Curry, but as to whatMr. Crawford would do if he were here is not the cuestion with me. This contest: was - without merit : and Pearson knew it. It was based on a libil of the best citizens of .the Ninth district. The people, of i Buncombe have always treated Dr. Curry with the greatest re spect. They; have welcomed him there and given - .him large audiences. . But when he attempted to thwart the will of the people, and did so it seems, it is a matter of : honoring him in in viting him to address us. We are invit: ing Dr. Curry!here as a man, and "as a man if he saw fit to leave his high posi tion and dabble, in the dirtiest and most disgraceful : politics, that ever occurred in Washington, then this Legislature, composed of many of K the best men in the State . ought not to honor him in this way." Judge Allen of Wayne: "What did Dr. Curry do V" Mr. Craig: Mr: Busbee said that Dr. Curry did lobby in behalf of Itaisjn. Mr. Busbee was there as counsel He button-holed members or. Congress and begged them to ybte f0r Peaison. If hs saw fit to dabble in. dirty and disgraceful polities then 1 am not willing to condone the offense. If that was education, I don't want that kind of education. Mr. Whitaker of Forsyth: 1 don't want to be discourteous to any one, but Dr. Currv showed that blood is thicker than water in jthisf matter He wanted: to get his brother-in-law in Congress ana it would be humilfating for the Legisla ture to invite a . man to deliver an . ad dress, who 'was guilty of such action to ward W; T.-Orawfoi-d. The Republicans thev will stand bv Richmond Pearson and I appeal to' the-Democrats here today to stand by W. T. Crawford. (Prolonged applay s?.) Juda-e Connor, of Wilson, said the House certainly found itself embarrassed after what-- had ' been said about the iin1tinn: 4T heartilv endorse what the gentleman from Buncombe has sail,'' Mr. Connor declared. Therj is not a Democratic- member of this House who does not think as he does with relation to the treatment, of ' Mr. Crawford. It was very-improper- for Dr. Curry to do as has been stated. V And yet is tnere n)t some danger, oft making a false itsje here? If the' gentle man from Forsyth is correct then I say vote down the res olution. But are we honoring Div Cur ry V We are inviting him h?r.j as th? agent of the Peabody fund. The Peabody fund has resulted in great good to North Carolina and the peopli of the State. He has the distribution of a noble fund for educational advancement, in which the people of North Caiolina are great ly interested and , we are inviting him here as the agent of this fund to confer with him. We . ate not inviting h m personally. We are not asning him for his personal-views. Mr. Smith of Gates.: "Can we get anything fromr pr.. Curry to help th3 common schools in, the rural districts?'' Judge Connor: I understand the Pea body fund is applied largely to normal schools.'? " . . . , .".' ;" '.,': - Mr. Graham' of GrauVill?. said the distribution , of the PeuboJy nmd was almost entirely with the secretary. ' I have known Dr. Curry slightly," Mr. Graham declared. "He was a brave Con federate soldier and no truer Southern man ever lived." This is not a question of politics witk ws. - The evidence at most as' to I this matter is heresay. At 2 we prepared to cast a, slur upon a bravo Confederate soldier and true southern gentleman wh has 'doce so much for education in s the South upon such evi dence as has been ' given here. All of us err and our great men are no excep tion to the rule. . ; Mr. Petree of Stokes (Republican) : It does 'seem to .ni?. to be unwise to vot t down this resolution. ' I, would like to hear Dr, Curry- if ne can give us any infornration to benefit our school.?. I know nothing about his lobbying for Mr. Pearson. If he aid' so, he thought he did what was right. He certainly exer cised the right given an American citi zen' if he thought: Mr. Pearson was elected. Let ns rise above partisan po'i tics on such'a question-as this. Mr. Mason of Gnston, sail be wou!d support the resolution became he hoped to derive benefit from hearing Dr. Cur rv and not to get any money 'from him. Mr. Ebbs of; Madison '(R?publi' an): I am sorrv to see that the pol tical prv clivities of the House havV j isn above the subject of educntion. I do not Vnow whether Dr. Curry took the stand at tributed to hini or net." I for one would not cast my vote agiinst th? resolution when the relation existeing between Dr, Curry " and Mr. Pearson ara recalled. The speaker then drifted into a dicus sion of the Pearson-Crawford contest, Rppkinc- to mnfcp ft nlmisihle case for Mr. Pearson, whom he said had been vindi cated by the vote of the district in the November, election. r - Mr. Patterson of Robinson, arose 'tO make ' a point 'of order. He said -the sneaker h a d'd rifted awav from the Ques tion and entered into a political discus sion. Mr. Gattis , of urange," wno fwas nx-esiding. said the nuestion had entered the ground' of politics, v H ' ' , . --. Sir. Ebbs: 'T am sorry the gentleman did not rise to , a question of privilege, when - tne centlenian irom nuncomoB was speaking.
