interrupt a public speaker came up
and caused a lively debate. An
amendment was adopted some days
ago to include in this bill the public
speaker who usesindecent language;
also another - amendment including
actors- "A motion was made to
strike out the first amendment.

- lection, Cunningham opposed the
i bill, if the amendment was' to be
" stdcken out. He said that in 9
' cases out of 10 it was demagogues
s . who went over the state using im-
proper language who caused rows.
. Blackburn favored the bill, and
-sard he was 'with Senator Butler
'when the latter was rotten egged at
: Wilson and himself got the contents
:- of one egg. Daffy said the bill would
- strike at free speech and political
liberty, and was legislation in a
dangerous direction.
- The text of the bill is as follows:
"Any person who shall wilfully in-
" terrupt or I disturb any political
meeting lawfully assembled,, shall
be guilty 'of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction shall be flnd not
exceeding. $30 of imprisoned not
more than 30 days. ' Cook 's amend
ment, as adopted, : was: "That this
act shall ' aUo ; apply-to all publlo
speakers and- stage actors." Ran
' somV amendment, adopted, was "by"
, " making it a misdemeanor for a politl
, rv cal speaker to use oy profaine or
T5u1gar language in any public

, tbe judiciary committee wnicir-jan.

bill, without the amendments, do

Blackburn offered an amendment
that all save the original bill he
' stricken out Murphy , offered an
' amendment that evangelists of the
Sam Joner and Bill Fife class be in.

to Murphy, that . the . latter amend

he heard Sam Jones call an auditor
: "a yellow liyered fooundrel," an4
" that the bill ought to apply '. to men
-who as evangelists use, such latigti;
age. , Blackburttbffered an amend
ment that a copy of this bill be sent

specially; it was to punish- without

Blackburn called the' previous
question . McKenzie demanded the
yeas and nays. ,'Tha vote was on
Blackburn's amendment and was as
follows;! Yeas 54, nays 39.: Ferrell,

wished to 'reform' the political
speakers,' and believing tbamost of

the speakers, he Voted, no. (fYes,

Lusk. J Ward, In voting no, said he
could not understand why the House
throttled the people and . did not in
terfere with the sp.akers. - ; :
The amendment of Murphy 'was
tiken up. He said he offered it In
good , faith. Sutton thought it not
germane as the bill applied to po
litical meetings only . J The amend
ment was lost... Parker or Wayne
offered an amendment as follows:
"Provided the., speaker is courteous
in manner and respectful in langu
age and that if the speaker violates
any of the provisions of this act he
shall be liable to the penalties here
imposed. '' Parker said no one could
object to this. Sutton agreed with
him. Parker demanded the yeas

. Lusk. antagonized the resolution,
while eulogizing Peabody, and said
if the latter could speak he would
say use the money for school's. Alex

one antagonizing this bill. On motion
of Sutton the resolution was indeb

PIE HUNTERS HUNGRY
drarabUns at the Governor Pritohard
. Vary SloK Man.
"Governor Russell has not been in
office quite a month," said a well
known Republican this morning,
"but during bis short administra
tion he has appointed two Demo
crats, one Republican and one lady
to office. We never thought 'our
Dan' would come to this."
The hunger of the pie hunters in
becoming intense. The 10th of
February is nearly here and no
Democrats have, been turned out
yet. The demand for immediate ac
tion on the part of the combination is
heard on every corner. Dozens of
the bread and butter brigade have
been hanging out at different
"joints" in the city since the legisla
ture convened in the hope of
obtaining reward. These people have
nearly lost patience.
Joe Woods, the inimitable Halifax
production was in a crowd this morn
ing, where tne su eject or onice seek
ing was under discussion. "Yes,"
said Joe, "this crowd reminds me
of an old goose.' You'll see a goose,
if she can't get through a bole in the
fence, sit down by it until she gets
poor eivnijjh to crawl through. No,
a goose will never 1i?ave. "

March 4th.'
Mojor Graut says that Senator
lrttohard is s very sick man.
He has been moved to a
private house for treatment and
where he can hot be disturbed.
No one in Washington save Secre
tary Hyams knows where Mr Pritch-
ardls confined. Major Grant says
Senator Pritchard is suffering from
nervous.: prostration and a heart
-affection. The physicians state that
Mr.1 Pritchard 's heart trouble is
caused by bis nervous spell, being
rather sympathetic than organic. It
is thought that by being kept quiet
he will be himself again soon.
The Rights of Wheelmen.
The introduction of the bicycle as
means of locomotion has led to
much legislation, a great deal of it
being designed to enforce certain
rights which the wheelmen believe
to be theirs. By dint of r umbers,

to carry bicycles af baggage free,
and a bill to the same intent has
been introduced at Springfield, 111.

Caved In and kitUd
Bun. ,'jh";
In the sheds of the' Weigh Cot
ton Seed Oil Mill at'tjbe Western
terminus of Davie street, where
acres of cotton seed are ajred away,
the body, of a young colored boy be
tween twelve and fourtoeft 'years of
age was found. this morftiag.'
Tbev work nicht and dav in the
oil mill and at this feason of the
vear there is no cessation n th fa.
moval of cotton seed from the ware-
house to the mill. h
Last nleht where the dav force
laid down their forks a pight squad
came oh and took them lip.
Anderson Horton wasoceof these.
He had excavated a great pile of
seed during the night, a quantity
ten feet in width wh)tb extended
from the floor to the tafters of the
wareshouse. He bad nearly cleared
the pile away, when he Maw what he
thought to be a few raffed clothes
in the remaining pile of seed. He
took hold of the clothesand in pull
ing them, the body ota boy about
twelve years of age came to view.
Life was extinct and Lad been for
......
some time possibly, out the body
was yet warm .
The police were notified and offi
cers Beasley and Jones removed the
body and laid it on the floor within
a few feet of tho seed pile, where it
remained until this evening.
A search was mad e of, the' boy 's
clothes, but nothing " was found
which would lead to 6a identifica
tion. The young fellow had a paper
bag which contained a biscuit or
two and a box of matohea.fff' "
This morning it was ascertained
that the boy caie from Rockingham
and had been here for several days
He was here v'threea(!th ago.
Yesterday he spent the day about
the mill and the depot, playing
around the cotton platform. . He
told the boys who were with him
that his name was Bill Atkinson and
that he was' from Rockingham. He
asked several of the boys in the
neighborhood that night to let him
stay with them.
Soon after dark he went ic the
night watchman's office and asked
permission to sleep on the floor.
Being turned away the little fel
low went to the oil mill shed where
he doubtless thought he would sleep
snugly in the cotton seed.
He crawled upon the big bank of
seed and made his way over to the
corner of the shed. Right at that
point the seed gave in and the boy
ent down.
He was covered by falling seed
and smothered to death. Here it is
necessary to state that on Saturday
a big box car ran into the corner of
the shed and tore away several
planks just above the floor, letting
out a large quantity of seed. A hoi
low was created and there Is where
the boy went down. Superintend
ent W O Smithurst, of the mills,
holds to the above vi&w.
The boy will be buried by the
county, unless some relatives turn
up. He was very shabbily dressed
and really did not have onenougb
clothes to protect his body. He
wore a cap, a red shirt, a pair of blue
overhauls and a few raj;s about his
ankles.
There was. a small scar on his
forehead and one leg bore signs of a
burn.

The North Carolina Agricultural
Expeiiment Station in Bulletin No.
137, details the plan of the "Cham
pion Chemical Process Company,"
capital stock $50,000, with offices at
Dunn, Fayetteville and Tbomasville,
N. C. This company has been
practicing in North Carolina by so-
iciting memberships at $4 each, the
advantages of which consists in
ability to purchase certain chemicals,
together with formula for making
composts. The chemicals are sup
plied to members for additional $4
and the actual cash fertilizing value
contained in them is only 69 cents.
Not only this, but the combination
materials is bad and phosphoric
acid is omitted entirely from the
mixture.
"Perfect satisfaction" is guaran
teed, and the statement is made that
it will make as good a crop as com
mercial fertilizers. It is also stated
that the same chemicals would cost
(15 before anyone becomes a mem
ber. All three statements are en
tirely inaccurate. ,
The station has urged that the
ppoplo of the state should stop pay
ing for all such formulas, as it is
ready and willing to specify any
mixture using materials which can
be best procured.
In fact, a;new publication of the
station will shortly be issued deal-
ng especially with composts and
home-made mixtures and telling bow
they can be made. It will be sent
free to parties in North Carolina
who apply for it. Write to the sta

"Citizen" on Street Work.
To our City Fathers:
You have been reminded from
time to time of the condition of East
Hargett street from Wilmington to
Blount, which wes formerly used
for a wood market. I notice in the
report of the chairman of the street
committee that tbey propose to
macadamize South Fayetteville street
as soon as the work is completed on
Hillsboro. Well, if the committee
will pass down East Hargett street
think they would begin work
there at once. The street is in a
very bad condition. It is worse
even than the country roads five
miles from the city.

same after the trial before the mayor

were made public. Furman Betts,
Everett Betts and R S. Dowell were
held under bond to appear at the
next term of court for an assault and
as conspirators. As much as I dis
like to appear in publio print, I feel
that in justice to my family, that I
cannofallow myself to be outraged

Mr. John Nichols is being quietly
talked of for pnblic printer to suc
ceed Mr. Benedict The office is one
of the best Mr. McKinley has at his
disposal. It is said that McKinley
and Mr. Nichols were very warm
friends while in Congress together.
Eight years ago Mr Nichols was
indorsed for public printer by the
member of congress from the eigh
teenth Ohio district, in which Can
ton is situated. That member of
congress was the president-elect,
and that is why some North Caro
liniansthink he is likely to get the
place. Ha is a practical printer,
and formerly ran one of the largest
printing establishments in thisstate.
When his name was presented eight
years ago for the office of public
printer General Harrison is said to
have remarked to him that he had
the best indorsement of any candi
date. He presented a petition of
over 10,000 names.
