but all these things increase the need
for another hotel. The building of

other hotel is indispensible. What
are you going to do about it ?

In the little squib that appeared in
the Visitor yesterday with the above

pleasantry and nothing more. No re
flection was intended. Mr. Goodwin
is a clever straight forward gentle
man and has our kind esteem.

The special order was taken up.be
ing the bill to charter the Bank of
Cumberland, - at Fayetteville. Ma
jority and minority reports were sub
mitted. Mr. Sutton spoke in favor of the
bill, saying it was well guarded. The
savings bank feature was important
and was needed. He alluded to the
unprecedented success of the Raleigh
Savings Bank. The chief objection
to the bill was as to the right of mar
ried women to deposit their own
money and to draw it. They had
that right in any bank at present.
Mr. Peebles said he yielded to no
man in his regard for the rights of
married women and minors. He ex
pected to show that the bill as it came
before the committee was not drawn
to carry out this purpose. It gave an
opportunity to put trust funds in the
bank. The present law gave every
protection to married women in the
matter of bank deposits. He said
that in the Kirkman case the Su
preme Court say married women have
no right to transfer the money in
bank; tney have a right to draw the
money themselves. He objects to the
bank's having no guarantee fund; the
whole security being the honesty of
the officers. He opposed power being
given women to convey their money
in the bank.
Mr. Skinner said the Dortch act
should be made applicable to this
bill.
