Mr. Pin nix, of Yadkin, advocated
his bill to take Moore's North Caro
lina History out of the publio school
list, He said it. was partisan, and
that from It you could not tell who
was governor from 72 to 76. It
"was a blank. "''
McKenzie asked Pinnix if be fa?
vored state adoption? " . r .. -' ,
Pinnix said yes. v -
McKenzie then said,", "Why . not
leave It to the state board?"
Mr. Eddlus said this was the only
state history we have. We ought
not to take this. off our list-till we
have a new one. In many respects
it is h good book. He moved to amend
by providing toreadopt If objection'
able - features . were taken out
It will - be fatal blow to
strike ' down- our. only., state his
tory. It would oust much money to
be forced to buy a new book and
discard the present history,. When
a better history is written that will
be time enough to bring up this
matter. Dr. Dixon created a laugh
by moving to amend by changing to
"Branson's Almanac" ' Dr. Dixon
opposed the, bill, saying that each
county controls the matter, v He
moved to table.' It failed. Dr.
Dixon demanded the roll call. Fos
ter moved toamend by requiring
the State Treasui er to refund the
money that parents will require to
bny any tew history. ' Lost. . Bill
passed by 54 to 40. Hartness and
McKenzie raised the point that the
clerk had put down White, of Ean
dolph and, Aiken as voting1 whon
they did not vote at all." Correction
was made as to White of Randolph,
but Aiken's name was kept on the
roll,' ' McKenzie said he would pro

The Senatj then took up the ma
chinery act 9 v'' - ' '
Section X ' adopted : - While;., the
committee - was . considering , the
revenue act, Rollins offered a reso
lution that for twenty- years it bad
been a time honored custom for the
Senator from Buncombe (Rollins)
every 4 years to rise id his seat and
move that, the Senate, adjourn in
honor of the change of administra
tion frow one party to another, and
I now move the senate do adjourn
for the space of one minute in honor
of this government passing from the
bands of the Democratic party - into
the bands of that' noble and pure
statesman, Wm. McKinley;
Mr. Ray opposed theresolution. He
said It was out of order as the senate
was not in session, but was resolv
ed in a committee of the whole.
Mr. McCasey moved the rules be
suspended and the - resolution p be

DB. LEAKS VICTORY.
Indaecd to remain ia tahlngton with
Mark Hanne and Gov. Bushnell.
It is with reluctance and sorrow
on our brow that we record the fact
that the Rev DrRIIW Leak failed
to make the trip to Canton to escort
the president elect to the seat of
government. And then our heart
leaps for joy to think f bat the genial
doctor was induced to remain over
in - Washington with such distin
guished company as the Hon. M. A.
Hans' and Governor Bushnell of
Ohio.
We take it that in scoring this
last victory the temporary disap
pointment' which must have over
whelmed the doctors loving consti
tuents in this city, when they learn
ed that he had not made the trip to
Canton, will be melted away, and
when the tidings are brought back
that McKinley was handed the bible
on which he took the oath of office
by Dr. Leak, Jim Young will take
leave of the county and his admirers
will meet the Rev. Leak on his tri
umphal leturn from Washington
and do him the honor that he is en
titled to.
The following extract from a letter
from Dr. Leak dated Washington
and addressed to a gentleman In
this city will explain the Doctor's
movements:
"I promised to wire you from Can
ton, but late Sunday morning I re
ceived a message from the commit
tee to remain in Washington for a
conference Monday at ten o'clock.
Some of the committee were here and
others were on the way, "therefore I
remained with Hon M A Hanna
and Governor Bushnell who came on
to perfect arrangements."

municated with Mr. Upchurch.
After having the warrants served on
them, they agreed to appear at
Justice Marcom 's office this evening
at four o'clock.
Arborvitae Swinson, who has'
added so much to the gaiety of the
state, eclipsed all former achieve
ments today when be swore out
warrants for the arrest of two of the
state's most honored officers. Every
child in North Carolina knows that
at one time Swlnson was enrolling
clerk of the legislature. It is
equally as well known that he was
kicked out of office because he re
fused to appoint two negroes to
office. Next Mr, Swinson's office
was forcibly taken from him.
Now Mr Swlnson takes action
against that action. The war
rant, which is signed by
Swinson sets forth that the
affiant was in the lawful possession
of a certain office and room in the
state capitoi building at Raleigh, N.
C, known as the enrolling .clerk's
office, and while the affiant was in
possession as aforesaid and on or
about the day and date aforesaid C.
A. Reynolds and A. F. Hileman late
of said county unlawfully and wil
fully and with force and with strong
hand did beak intoand enter the said
office and forcibly takeand keep pos
session thereof and after the said C.
A. Reynolds and A. F. Hileman had
so as aforesaid forcibly broken into
and entered and taken possession of
the room and office aforesaid, the
stid C. A. Reynolds and A. F. Hile
man did then and there unlawfully,
wilfully and with force and arms and
with strong hand break open the
private drawers of said affiant in said
room, all of which said breakings
and entries were against the will of
affiant he being present and forbid
ing contrary, etc .
Many Mormon Converts.
Chicago. March 4 A party of
Mormon elders, under the leadership
of B. H. Roberts, who have been
preaching in the suburbs of this
city since October 1, expect to take
a colony of young people, many of
them girls, to Salt Lake City about
April 1. Meetings have been held
Sunday nighta of late in Wicker
Park, but it seems that the general
public has not been 'aware of their
nature."
Of late, however, reports of family
trouble, anxiety about daughters,
supposed to be visiting friends on
Sunday evenings, and growing un
rest in the community, have led to
the suspicion that the Mormon In
fluence was becoming strong enough
to cut a figure. Already, it is said,
200 residents of the west side have
oome over to the Mormon way of
thinking and the air in the vicinity
of Wicker Park is thick wth grow
ing excitement over the work of
proselyting.
