THAT MORTGAGE KILL.
lu Autuorhiji II 14 at Last IWn
Discovered.
V. M. Smith, Esq., of Cabarrus
county, .ays: The much Ulked of mort
gage and assignment bill wa origi
nate introduced by R, L. Smith, of
(Stanley, aud biil prepared by a
certain ei-juge at the instance of mer
chant!) in Baltimore, wa submitted to
biui ( W. M. uiuh) aud agreed to ac
cept it as a substitute bill.
'J his brings re preseutathe Smith of
feUiilrjr iuto the arena and be write
the editor of the w and Observer
as follows: "If this bill is a law it was
certainly forced through the house
and senate. I remember well that the
bill fame up on its second reading
Maach the J 1th orlS'h, and on motion
of Mr. Lee of Haywood was tabled bjr
a l:i r be vote. It was a house bill and
had never been to the senate.
Ihe next day after the bill was
tailed I met the priuripal clerk of the
house on h'9 way to the enrolling
clerk's olii. e with a number of bills
He stopped aud showed them to me,
and among them 1 saw that bill, and
told him the bill was tabled the day
before ;md bad never been to the sen
ate. 1 examined the bill and found no
mirk or .-it:u:ij) of wh-re the houe
ha..! takeu any act ion on it, eicep" that
it b;id passed the first reading, and
had betu referred to the nance lie m
luittee. He said that he would go
back and see about it. That was the
las; 1 hiard of the bill while I was
there. If you will investigate the jour
nals of the liouM and senate You will
lind that I am correct, unless they
have been 'doctored. There is cer
tainly something 'rotten in Denmark'
ju regard to this bill."

1 to l)t lN'plaeod ly Boiler Shops.
Mr. W. T. Reed, the new superinten
dent i,f motive power and machinery
of the S. A. L., was interviewed this
afternoon and said that since he had
taken charge he found that the
equipment of the foundry here was
not adequate to meet all requirements
and had therefore advised that the
foundry work let to contract and
that the foundry be fitted up as a
boiler shop, as there is no boiler shop.
This change will be made and in all
probability the foundry work will all
be done at the Ualeigh car wheel works.
Bad Oul look for Mate Public
Schools.
The orrrlook for the state public
schools is said by state superinten
dent Scarborough to be bad. The
new school law is the work of bung
lers, 'ever w as one more out of
.shape.-'-He says the new law was
"just whacked out," and is disjointed.
It takes away all the leverage used to
arouse enthusiasm on the part of
teachers.
