THE ASIIEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN". CLOSING DAY'S WCFK CF THE LEGSUTURE Changes in Western Crim inal Court District. BEPORT ON FUSION MANAGE MENT OF AGRICULTURAL DE PARTMENT AND PENITEN TIARY. Raleigh, N. C, June H, Lieutenant Governor Reynolds called the senate 10 order at 10 o'clock 'and Rev. Dr. Levi Branson ' offered prayer - In which he priyed for divine blessings on th Bor rowing family of the senator who crossed over into the promised land at early da,wn. - The journal of yesterday wia read and approved. Senator Justice said he had a peti tlon of a number of dtlsens of Ruth erfordton to repeal the dispensary there. Justice said that ho had had a bill passed to submit the question of dispensary to the people there and they voted for a dispensary. Justlca snld If the petition had been submitted in time for him to ascertain the sentl merit there he would have given the people what they want and introduced a bill to let the people vote on the question If they so desired. He felt the same way about a petition from Polk county to repeal the road law. He was not sufficiently informed on these sentiments. He was opposed to this session passing local legislation; he thought It unwise to do so and1 he did not Intend to Introduce bills. Senator Bryan said: "Mr. President It Is my painful duty to Inform the senate of the death of my colleague, Senator J,' Q. Jackson." He paid c (lowing tribute to the christian char acter of the late senater. He was pure t as a maid and his one purpose In life was honesty and integrity, and his ounty and state have lost a man whose figure stood out pointing to the path of the highest and noblest. Sen ator Bryan's tribute was eloquent and touching and he moved a committee of three be appointed to draft resolutions ' of respect and a joint committee be appointed to accompany the remains home and attend the funeral. "Resolved by the senate, the house of representatives concurring. That the president of the senate appoint two members of the senate and the speaker Of the house of representatives ap point four members of the house as a oommltlee tosatf company the remains Of the late Senator J. Q. Jackson to the place of burial and the sergeant at-arms of the senate take charge thereof." Senator Travis called up the bill to regulate Issuing of liquor license la Northampton - county. This bill gives the Judge holding court In the county power to order a license to sell liquor when 30 days' notice Is given. If a majority of voters In any township petition against license It shall not be granted and If a majority petition for It It shall be granted. This Is a local bill, modeled after the Virginia law. Hairston moved reference to commlt " Tee, ""Travis said It was a local com promise and all the people wanted it. Franks ridiculed giving Judges such as Hoke and Brown the derision in question of selling whisky, Travis said Just such men as Hoke and Brown were best qualified to decide whether a man was suitable to sell whisky Justice thought the proper course was to refer to committee. He was op posed to all this legislation of local character. The bill was an Innovation to require Judges to Issue liquor li cense and ought to go before a com mittee at least. Glenn said going to a committee simply kills a bill. Legisla tion had been passed without going to a committee. He fuvored plainly either passing or killing the bill and aot sidetracking It. justice reiterated his antagonism to all this legislation at this session. Cuoley thought the senate competent to act without committee, A telegram was read Inviting the senate to the Teachers' assembly at Morehead. At this hour the special order to elei't a director of the school for the deaf at Morganton arrrlved. James nomi nated A. I'. Miller of Shelby. Hicks and Davis were appointed tellers and reported Miller 39 and he was duly de clared elected. Consideration of the Northampton bill was resumed, and. after some dis cussion, the previous question was called and the bill passed its final read ing. Senator Hryan Introduced a second Tesolutlon on the death of Senator Jackson to appoint a committee of four to draft resolutions of respect and ap propriating money sufficient to defray the funeral expenses and of trans porting the remains to Klnston, Senator Itrown sent forward the re port of the committee to Investigate the North Carolina agricultural de partment and the state prison, togeth er with the evidence. The reading was postponed. The senate took up the house bill changing the western Criminal circuit court. Lambeth moved to strike out the word McDowell county; that the people there desired the court. The bill would leave only seven counties In the district. Franks moved to lay amendment on the table, Lost. Tra vis salil Representative Justice of Mc Dowell wanted the bill and thought It Of vital Importance to McDowell, The resolution In McDowell Democratic convention endorsing that court was psssi-d before a recent decision which had entirely changed opinion. Hairs ton offered an amendment to add Stokes county. Lambeth argue against striking McDowell from the circuit. Lindsay opposed Interfering with the Circuit court; he thought it would create division In the counties affected. 1 Lieutenant Governor Reynolds then appointed Senators Hryan and Hutler to accompany the remains of Senator -,. cxiiiBK.ii, nini 1111 ine r Blltttee on resolutions Senators iels, Justice, Franks nd Harris. com .Da li Fields thought It dangerous to chanae 'the Circuit court now and favored waiting until the next legislature and not entering Into the right. The situa tion In McDowell was discussed at length by Glenn, Travis and others. Mason, Lindsay, Hicks, Cooley op posed the bill. Osborne wanted Mc Dowell left out of the bill, since Mc Dowell convention endorsed It. He didn't believe the people -of McDowell would say a bad thing was a good thing because they didn't like the so licitor. Cocke read a. letter from ex Senator Eaves opposing taking Mc Dowell county out of the circuit. Wil son favored Lambeth's amendment. Lambeth's amendment to leave Mc Dowell In the district was adopted, 21 ayes, 11 noes. . Senator Franks sent an amendment to take Henderson from the circuit. Senator Bryan wanted the senate to stop these local bills, but "just suspend the rules and let s pass a little bill of mine to pay some poor lady school teachers in Craven' (Laughter.) The president said the question was on the amendment by Franks to the western Criminal court bill. Franks' amendment was lost. The bill as amended by Lambeth then passed sec ond reading. On final reading Cocke demanded a roll call. The bill passed, ayes 36. noes 5 (fusionlsts). Cocke said: "I vote for the bill with the dls tinct understanding that Mr. Craig assumes all responsibility for It." Glenn Introduced a bill to pay Eu gene C. ueocllngneia lor services as railroad commissioner amounting to $1266.64. Bryan's school bill for Craven was taken up and finally passed by a vote of 16 to 15 on second reading,, and on third reading the vote stood 17 to 17 and the lieutenant governor voted aye and was applauded. Glenn's resolution to pay Bedding- field then paused second and third reading. . Osborne introduced a resolution to pay the clerks at this sessslon the usual mileage and, rules being sus pended. It passed. Franks Introduced a bill to lncor porate the Merchants' and Planters bank of Henderson. The house bill to ajlow commission ers of Edgecombe to make new Jury list passed. the house resolution to print re port of committee Investigating penl tentlary passed. The senate bill to restore good gov ernment to Brunswick county passed Its final reading. The senate bill for benefit of public roads In Loulsburg township passed The house resolution calling on state treasurer whether he has paid any money to Theo. White passed final readings. Osborne introduced a resolution that the senate pass no further bills ex cept those sent over from the house or already oh the calendar. The resolu uori puBBeu ana me senate took a re cess until 9 p. m. HOl'SE. The house met at 10 o'clock. The report of the committee which was ap pointed to ascertain whether the state treasurer had paid out any money since the act of 1S99 as salary to Theophilua White, shell fish commissioner, was made. The report of the committee which Investigated the agriculture uciJoiuiK-ni uuu penitentiary last year was also, made by Gattis. Both docu menu accompanying are ui Immense lengtn. The report was read. It sav as to the agricultural department that mere was extravagance after June tnis extravagance being of the grossest and most reckless kind and amounting to $24,000, mainly In sala nes. ine report was a scathing ar ruignmcnt or fusion mlsmanagemen ana corruption and of the holding of ecrai omces oy one man. Attorneys tees were also shown to be excessive, Aiiorney L,oge Harris coming in for nutlce in this regard, tin ne got $3300 in two years. As to the penitentiary the committee says recklessness, mismanagement and extravagance characterized every de pHi tment and caused a loss to the state of over 200,ooa In the two years up to iws. l ne committee says the evident' iiowb mat wun proper managemen me penitentiary could be made self sustaining and In fact profitable - uiiiK-Miima miu incompetence, as wen as extravagance, were proved by ine testimony or scores of witnesses me penitentiary record was shown to be reallly worse than that of the agii ruiturai aepariment. The report shows a terrible record of cruelty and carelessness as to convicts. Frightful instances or such cruelties were cited The committee says something Is lack ing tn the penitentiary system and rec ' toe intiiana system, espe ciauy tne patrol system. The use of able convicts on the public roads Is recom memtea as tiest, but If this cannot be secured then work with farms Is next best. A telegram from the Teachers' as sembly. Morehead City, was read. In viting the legislature to be there Sat urday evening to hear the address of Dr. J. L. M. Curry. Craig. Abbott and Brown of Johnson submitted resolutions regarding the deaths of Representatives H. C. Wall, J. M. Trotman and S. L. Hart. Re marks In eulogy of the dead were made by McLean of Scotland and Mi. Lean of Harnett as to Mr. Wall' hv AVInslah and BoitshaU as to Mr. Trot- man: by Gilliam and Craig as jr Mr Hart. A message came over from the sen ate providing for the raising of a com mittee to accompany the remains of Senator J, Q. Jackson to Klnston. Carraway of Lenoir paid a tribute to the deceased. The speaker appointed as the house branch of the committee Carraway, Sugg. Noble and Russell. The house elected A. C. Miller a di rector of the deaf mute school at Mor ganton. to fill the unexpired term of the late It. A.. Oiler, until 1905. Hoey and Relnhardt were teller. A rush of new bills began. They were mainly local and . trivial. The house wore a broad smile while the ti tles were read. The scene, was realty amusing In the extreme. It had been said on Tuesday that some of the mem bers were "loaded" with bills, with even so many as 500 of them, and this morning's performance went far to Prove the accuracy of the statement, Rountree said there was great danger In this deluge of bills and that all ought to go before the proper committees. Council offered a resolution that the chair appoint a committee of three to arrrange the bills on the calendar: that there were some of political sig nificance; that the committee can pick out such bills as are entitled to pref erence, Stevens said it was the a-en- eral belief that there was to be no leg gation outside of the amendment and the election aw, Overman said he hoped that Council would amend his resolution so to bar all legislation av that of the greatest public mo- ment. Council accepted this. Davis of Haywood protested against the com mittee, saying it smacked of favorit ism. Council called the previous ques tion on his resolution. The motion was lost. Allen suggested that a Joint resolu tion should pass fixing the time of ad Journment. Gattis then offered the res olution providing that the legislature adjourn at 10 o'clock tonight to meet again at noon July. 24..-. Robinson of fered an amendment that at such ad journed session no prlvateor local Islatlon be enacted. ricn.non oi Beaufort wanted to charge the time of adjournment to 1 p. m. today.

Foushee offered a resolution direct ing the printing of the report of the special committee and the evidence In the penitentiary and agricultural de partment matters.' , It was adopted. At 12:15 the house took a recess until I p. m. WONDERFUL STORIES OF A WONDERFUL MAN DR. VAKN, THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE B. F. U. From the Concord Standard, The Ashevllle Citizen saya editorial ly: "The new president of the Baptist Female university at Raleigh Is an armless man and yet the instrtutlon may well besald to be In 'good hands.' Dr. .Vann Is one of the best known men among the North Carolina Baptists, a fine preacher, an all round good man. and the love people of his denomina tion have for him Is little greater than that of those of other churches who know him." This wonderful man so popularly and well known Is truly Interesting and stories of him are in order. When a mere boy he was caught In a sorghum mill (these mills have a liberal share In the honor of our maim ed) and his right arm was taken off near the shoulder and the left near the elbow. All the same he turns the leaves of a book with ease as he does the open ing of a door.pours water from a pitch er, takes up the glass end drinks. He rides or drives a horse and prac tically does Just what other people do. He sometimes feels the need of one hand, but thinks two would be (super fluous. He Is fund of hunting and Is a good hot. The story la told of him that on one occasion he was hunting 'and brought down a turkey. It fell on the verge of the liver. When he approach ed he discovered a mink that had come out of the water and was sucking the turkey's blood. A shot finished the sucking. Drawing still nearer his at tention was drawn to a frisking squir rel, which another shot dropped al most upon the other game. Now he needed that one hand, but In his own way, as the story is told, he robbed himself of suspenders and tied up the three, then shouldering them went off In triumph. Wonderful stories of this wonderful man would fill a good little volume. The best of all Is that he Is a very able preacher and a man of such reputed executive capacity as to promise suc ?es for the Institution. FOR THE AMENDMENT. Charles A. Webb, esq., will discuss the constitutional amendment lit Oak Grove, Flat Creek township, Saruiday, June 16. at 2 p. m., and at Weaver vllle Saturday evening, June 16, at S.I'.O o'clock. CITY TAXES.
