It is under- ing the interest on its bonded debt. The bill provided that the entire revenue derived from the dispensary should go to the county of Buncombe, which would deprive the city of Asheville of about $13,000 annually, based on the present license tax of the city. Sena tor Rollins also made a few remarks in opposition to the bill in its present form. After the conclusion of the argument, on motion or senator Anderson of Henderson county, the committee went Into executive session for the consid eration of the bill. The result, how ever, was soon known at the adjourn ment of the committee. It will be re membered that the bill provided that the act was not to take effect until ratified by a majority of the qualified voters of the county, but not to take effect until the first of September next. stood that the position to which he is The committee decided by a vote of 5 for the present assigned Is the vacant Ho 3 that the proposition should only post of Secretary of the.

Mr. Candler wrs imme'atly noti fied of the amendments and stated that he preferred for the bill to be reported unfavorably than for the amendments to be made, for if the amendments were adopted by the Senate so near the close of the -session, it meant the defeat of the bill. Mr. Anderson gave notice that he expected to make a minority report and make a fight for the passage of the bill as it passed the House. Senator Smathers says that this bill was at first very strongly supported by the Republicans of Buncombe coun ty as a party measure, but when the people of the city of Asheville began to realize the effect of the bill upon the revenue of the city in supporting the graded schools and paying -the in terest on the bonded debt, a sudden change of mind seems to have taken place, and a large number formerly in favor of the bill wired Senators Rollins and Smathers to oppose It. One telegram was signed by nearly all the county officials. The general im pression is that the bill will be de feated In the Senate. Washington, N. C, March 3. While Hon.
