Enterprise Bureau, Special Correspondence. Kaileigh, Jan. 19, The House judiciary commit tee No. 1 has named a sub-coin mittee composed of Messrs Doughton, Harshaw and Connor to consider and report on Speak er Graham's bill equalizing the number of peremptory challenges m capital cases to twelve eacn far State and defendant, the State to stand none at the foot of the panel. Speaker Graham in an address to the committee, called attention to the fact that the great disparity now. 23 fo( the defendant and 4 for the State with the rule that the State can stand ten at the Soot of the panel is because originally the defend ant was not allowed to testify I for himself and hence was given all advantage possible otherwise The general sentiment of the committee seems to ibe to out down the disparity to some ex tent, but not to the point of equality, on account of the ad vantage of the State in having the opening and closing argu ment, and all are oj the opinion that if the number of the State's (challenges is to be increased there should be no standing at the foot of the panel.

Attack on Department of Labor and Printing. The attack on the department of labor and printing yesterday afternoon an the House stirred the biggest sensation of the ses sion thus far and the end is not yet as the whole matter comes up again Wednesday together with discussion as to (he advisabfmy of reducing the clerical force of the office. Commissioner Ship- man insists that he will stand out for the $2,500 allowed by the. Senate and that must be allowed an assistant. A fierce assault by Representative Grant of Davie. rhe young Republican who has, served several terms upon the efficiency of the office of com miisioner ofi labor and printing made things lively in the lower branch of the General Assembly to-day. It was over the Senate bill increasing the salary of the commissioner from $1,500 to $2,500, as recommended by Gov Glenn. Mir. Grant declared that the commissioner during the ten years since the establishment 01 the office had done nothing buit submit his biennial report every two years and that this consisted merely of statistics tabulated from the reports sent in in reply to his letters, was all office work and done by the assistant ; yet the State pays to that depart ment about $4,000 a year, includ ing clerical help ana traveling expenses. A compromise amend ment offered by Mr. Gotten of Pitt, malloing the salary $2,000, was adopted on a roll call vote of 57 to 35- he bill had passed its second reading 45 to 38. Finally on motion of Mr. Rascoe, of Ber tie. -who thought tihe matter of clerical help in the office ought to be looked into further, the bill was made a special order for VELT sT"-m m n 1,1 Wll I hl VI IIKliN !tne navy Dy allowing intolerable -I WV VUWIILW trtmpnt f ...,;w. -v.. th hands of aristocracy of Annapo lis officers," had permitted the degrading of soldiers at West Point who had been put to me nial work, and had given a Scotch verdict in connection wiuh the alleged Panama canal scandal.

After declaring1 that in the face of all sorts ofi conditions Americans were possessed of a universal sense of humor. Mr. WiHet said that to such people "it must be confessed, a chief magistrate who has himself no sense of haimoir, .moving like a horse-tedder over the hayfield of American activities; stirring up every drying blade of once green grass, to let it fall dryer than be fore; quarreling one day with flie practical politicians, then with the part-your-hair-in-the-middle reformers; then with the socialists, then with the great in dustrial corporations-; wiretling in agony of spirit with Noah Webster and our glorious Eng lish tongue; taking a fall out of nature-fakirs, exhorting our wo men to avoid race suicide, can not he an unmixed nuisance.

"He tries our patience, but he is always good to laugh at. Thank Heaven for the things that makes us laugh! Without them we might easily become raw, untamed Anglo-Saxons making much of Marna Charta, bellowing about an effete bill of rights, or even ready to fight for freedom of thought, freedom of speech and treedom of the press, as did our uncivilized ancestors at Lexington and Bunker Hill.

Tihe House committee on counties, cities and. towns is holding vep the Burlington twen ty thousand dollar bond issue for improvements, including a water plant, for the reason that the ibiH calls for the issue without submission to the vote of the people and also because the wa ter plant is not made liable in case the pressure is not main tained.

He exults in a strain of the old Hugenot, but the French gentleman does not fly into a passion and lasli the horse of a timid young girl, whose only offense is inadvertently passing the royal party in a public high way. Even Louis XIV was not that sort of a tyrant, and Henry IV, Henry of Navarre, the great Hugenot king, wore the w-hite plume ot noblesse ob-lige.

Supreme Court Has Held That a Man Who Reads What Pur ports to be Verbatim Newspa per Reports of the Testimony Disqualifies Himself. Nashville, Tenn.. Jan. 17 With carpenters working over time to get the new Criminal Court room completed with dep uty sheriffs busy summoning witnesses, and with the attor neys on both sides making their nnai preparations, it is very prob able that the CooperCarmack murder trial will be commenced here Wednesday morning. There nave been vague rumors of an attempt on the Dart of the de tense to secure further delay. But the missing witness, whose ab sence secured the last postpone ment is in the city. I he case will be tried before Judge William B. Hart. The most eminent legal counsel in the State have been engaged upon one side or the other. All that money and brains and influence can do will be done on one han to convict the defendants, and on the other to free them History of Case. 1 he parties to the case enloy- e.l national reputation. Co one Duncan B. Cooper, his son, Rob in, a young lawyer and former Sheriff John D. Sharpe are joint Iy indicted for the slaying of former United States Senator Edward W. Carmack. Colonel Cooper bad been prominent in State and national politics for years. Me was a friend of Pres ident Cleveland and of Ptresi dent Roosevelt. Years ago he brought Mr. Carmack to Nash 11.. - ,-. vine as an edironar writer on the American which Cooper then owned. But those who know say that the men were never very friendly, and later Carmack be came connected with a rival pub lication. In politics thev be onged to rival factions. Even Cooper's friends admit that he is a dominating man a man who has been wont to command and who liked but little those who imposed him. Carmack had ideas of his own, too, and was not backward in expressine them. There was no serious differ- esce between the men until the recent gubernatorial campaign, when Carmack deposed Patter son for the office. The issue was Statewide prohibition, with Car mack advocating it and Patter son opposing it. Carmack rea- ized that he was beaten, but he was confident that prohibition would carry. The Patterson forces rallied to defeat this plank. Carmack, as editor of the Ten nesseean denounced these efforts and criticised Colonel Cooper editorially. The latter, wbo man aged Patterson's campaign, sent word to Carmack that he would kill the editor if the attacks continued. Carmack told his friends that if he complied with Cooper's demands that he would e branded as a coward all over the State, consequerrtty he would refuse. The next editorial that Carmack wrote resulted in his death. Claims of Both Sides. The Cooper forces swear they will make out a clear case of self-defense. The State, on the other hand, claims that it will prove that the killing was the re sult of a conspiracy to assassi nate. The feeling in the State is intense ,and sentiment is nearly equally divided. The greatest difficulty will be experienced in securing a jury. The law provides that any one who has talked with a witness or talked with some one who pur ports to tell what the witness saw or heard, is disqualified as a juror. The Supreme Hjourt has. held that a man who reads what purports to be verbatim newspa per reports of the testimony dis qualifies himself. The defense applied for bail, forced the State to put its witnesses on the stand, and then several newspapers printed stenographic reports of the testimony. Whether there are enough men in the county who did not read the testimony to make up a jury remains to be seen. And Keep Straight. Our Shoulder Braces Will Help You. tin iin (o. W. T.
