The calendar was taken up. There
was ui;e a debate on Julian's bill to
repeal the act of 1S97, which requires
all officers of State banks, railways
and other corporations to file omths
m th the State Auditor. Overman, of
Rowan, championed I'he bill, eay
ing it was an insult to the
business men of .the State, and
ought to be wiped from the statute
books. He faid the private banks in
Salisbury were obeying the 1 .w, and
lending money t 6 p;r cen't, While the
national b.uiks there weie charging 8
per cent and were not taking any otih
er. Stevens opposed the bill and sa'id
many corporations were violating the
law. and that they did not wish to take
the oath. He declired his belief that
there was something behind this bill.
Jus tice r.iid the law was a stigma upon
the character of a particular class of
men. Allen taid he knew of cases in
which national bank officials did not
l ke any oath, though the aforesaid
statute required it. Rountree said
that he thought the law was not of
any use. He said the law also applied
to persons as well as eorporait'ions and
hat it did not apply to such u corpo
..c'tion as the Virginia and Carolina
Chemical Company, which is chartered
in 'another State. Justice thought it
easier to detect persons who violated
the law as to usurious interest if this
law were kept on the st'tute books.
Craig saw no good reason for the re
peal of the act. He was no enemy to
corporations, but considered them nec
essary to government. If the usury
law is not .light repeal it. If it is
ight then let all tire laws stand which
tend 'to enforce it. The oaths are not
required to be taken annu'.'lly, but only
when they take office, for they are of
ficers of the State.
Alien said .that the banks which 'took
he oath were, to his knowledge, placed
at a d. advantage as compared with
ir .'tional banks which did not take It.
Overman said it rferred not only to
banks but to all .corporations. A mo
tion to re-refer the bill to the judiciary
committee was lost. Hai: tsell said the
directors of cotton mills, to his knowl
edge, took the oath annually. He de-
lared the law to be cumbersome, in
convenient, useless. If it referred to
b nks alcne he would favor the reten
tion cf the oath, yet it would iot pre
vent a bank from violating the 6 per
csnt law.
The previous question was ordered.
Johnscn of Sampson, "demanded the
ayes and nays. The bill bill failed to
second reading, yeas 40, nays 71.
A resolution declaring that electors
should vcfe directly for United Slates
Senators w s taken up.
It was adopted without discussiiori.
rt calls on the- Senators and Represen
tatives In Congress to use all tlhieir
Influence to have such a namendment
to the constitution submltttd. to the
legislature's of the various 'States.
'Resolution raising a special joint
committee to examine the public laws
of 1895 '2nd 1897, and ascertain, which
of them are of value, was adopted.
Bill passed amending the act in. re
gard to the wOo-kt'ng of convicts on
roads in Anson county, amending chap
ter 252, public laws 1897.
Bill to repeal all public acts of 1897
was tabled. Bill" lepealing the act of
1897 providing for working Northamp
ton's roads by .taiatiOn passed.
By consent Overman Introduced a

the charter of Salisbury, and Robinson

ettevtlle.

Fayetteville to reduce its capital tojk
irom szuu.uuu to iuu.uuu passed.

quiring banks, railways and other Cor
porrations, to file oaths name up, Ray

port of its Jud'ic-'ary committee. The
bill was.on motion of Winston, re-re
ferr-ad tdJe eommi-l4ief4k-'.i

CHANUKS IN THE THIRD.
First Lieut. J.init's D. Hood, of Con
cord, was today appointed Captain of

martiale-d.
Second Iii-utunani ,J. G. Too!?, of
Charlotte was promoted to First Lieut.
and Firf t SuiK-eant James G. Smith of
Rockingham, was made Second Lieu
tenant. THE THIRD.
Opposition to Xaving Regiment Mus
tered Out Here.
The report that the Third Regiment,
negroes, would not be mustered out in
'Macon, Ga., Is confirmed by a dispatch
to yesterday's Atlanta Journal. There
is no doubt now that unles sthe De
partment changes its plan the regi
ment will be mustered out here shortly.
There Is strong? opposition to muster
ing out this regiment in Raleigh. There
is no doubt that Raleigh's police force,
efficient as it is. would not be sufficient
to handle at 1,000 negroes turned loose
in this city.
The suggestion has been made, and.
it is said it will be submitted to Gov
ernor Russell, tha tthe Governor order
a battalion of the State Guard to Ral
eigh and keep the batallion hero until
the negroes leave.

THE LEOPARD AND THE PAN.
Good Words.
One day a worthy Kulu housewife
came out from her cooking, and, stand
ing on the ledge of rock at her door,
emptied a pan of boiling water into
the rank herbage growing below. It
fell, splash, on the back of a sleeping
leopard, who jumped perpendicularly
into the air as high as the roof of the
hut. What might have happened next?
Who can say? But the astonished wo
man dropped the pan with a clang up
on the rock, and the leopard took one
leap down hill. The pan followed, and
the leopard's downward leaps became
longer and swifter as the pan bounded
after It from rock to rock.
When last seen the leopard had just
achieved a leap of about 350 feet to the
very bottom of the ravine, thousands
of feet below, and the pan had whirled
about 500 feet over It on to the opposite
side. The leopard would have eaten
old woman with pleasure; iut a
pan which first scalded half the hide
T him, and then bounded clanging in
his wake from the top of the Himalay
as to the plains below was something
which he could not face.
