itor, the inequality of assessmenet be
ing now a cause of great complaint,

The House tabled by a heavy major
ity the bill to repeal the present news
paper libel law after a warm debate in
which a number of editor members par
ticipated. In the House last night a resolution
was adopted raising a committee to in
vestigate the Raleigh Times publica
tion of a statement that the Conference
committee on the Railway rate bill had
fixed the bill to hit president Page.
The editor of the paper R W Simpson
resigned yesterday, the owner of the
paper having published a statement re
quired by representative Winborn, of
the Conference committee. The paper
says editorially today that after this
publication the action of the House last
night was the strongest of all the re
markable occurrences which have
marked this legislature. The paper
says it carried out its end of the con
tract at the cost of the loss of its edi
tor and now declares it 'has been un
justly treated by the legislature, calls
on the people of the state to sit in
judgment in the piemises and declares
an explanation is due it from the Con
ference Committee. The paper says
that its agreement to print the apology
yesterday was with, Winborne, but it
had every assurance that nothing more
would be done and that surely Winborn
informed the other members of the
committee of the result of his conver
sation with Senator John C Drewry,
owner of the paper.
The Senate today considered the anti
trust bill submitted to its honorary
committee. .
An amendment waa offered to include
