Nevada, but they were given a rude
awakening Tuesday.' A telegram re
ceived in Washington states that the
$tate benate of Nevada met Tuesday
and repealed the set authorizing the
Mate to accept girts or. bonds.
The legislature met Tuesdav for the
first time, and the very first act of
the Senate was to vote to repeal the
legislation that wag sneaked through
at the last session for the benefit of
the earpet-bag bond speculators. It is
understood that the House of Repre
sentatives of Nevada will follow the
lead of the Senate.
Governor Dickinson having recom
mended the repeal of the legislation
it is as certain as anything can be
that the State of Nevada will clear its
skirts of the looters who have tried
to use it in a mercenary and discredi
table way.
Remember. North Carolinians, that
the bill is the same that Marion But
ler and William F. Pettigrew put
through the South Dakota Legisla
ture to force the payment of the old

It will be recalled that the earMt

000 worth of the repudiated North , '
Carolina scalawag : securities. The
State Supreme Court of Nevada held
only last week that the governor of
the Mate must accept the bonds- u

, The governor of Nevada waa avers
to this action, but the Supreme Court -of
the State said the law that ia about
to be repealed waa mandatory, and '
that he must accept them.,
