There was some debate on a bill to give a ferry across the Pasquotank river near Elizabeth City, the exclusive right for .'1 miles up and 3 miles down that river. There was a petition for a new ferry, and theie was also a bill for a new ferry. Abbott, of Camden, defended the old ferry, which has had privileges for a century. Lee. of Pasquotank, spoke in favor of the new ferry, and said thte old one was a monopoly. There were majority ami minority reports on the bill to give the old ferry company Ihe continuation of the fran chise, and a mino:ity report against tais. The ferry an,l the roads to it wet bought by Dr. E. F. Lamb for $s.u(i. and there is a $.".000 mortgage. Elizabeth City is in 2 miles of the ferry. The bill failed to pass second reading. 17 to 52. The special order was taken up, be ing the bill bill t j authorize the publi cation of the .-k.iehes of each North Carolina regiment in the Confederate sc. vw. LOW volumes. Wall, of Rich mond, i .a id Judje Walter Clark a trib ute fm )Us lab . : In perpetuating these rils of North Carolina, and then in!l a graceful and proper tribute to the galiuntry of Northl Carolina's sol diers in the civil war. He was several times applauded. He thanked Presi dent McKlnley for his utterance at At lanta, which gave the finishing touch to tthe burial of sectionalism. He was specially applauded w hen he made a sharp hit at Senator 'Butler for his folly in inttroducing a bill for fed eral pensions to ex-Confederattes. He concluded by quoting the words of Gen. R. E. Lee: "God bless Northt Caro lina," and then saying, to quote Kip ling, "Lord God of hosts be with us yet, Let we forget, lest we forget." He was followed by Carraway, of Le noir, In support of the bill and who was given quite an ovation when took the floor. McLean, of Harnett, made a splendid speech for the bill. The bill passed Its readings by a unanimous vote. Inquiry was made as to the status of the bills for separate cars for whites and blacks.

A bill to make 12 months separation ground for a divorce passed, as did bill amending chatter of Cabarrus Savings Bank. A bill to provide for the working of the roads in Ashe county by taxation passed. ENTERTAINMENT. Although the new auditorium of the Blind Institution seats a thousand, it was not large enough to accommodaVi the audience that assembled last night to witness the opening. This was very gratifying to the friends of the insti tution. The Governor, his private sec retary, over a hundred members of the Legislature and many other notables were present and expressed their pleasure In the programme by sus tained interest and prolonged applause. Prayer was offered by Rev. 'Dr. 'W. C. Norman. The "Dedication March," composed by Mr. White, and dedicated to Prin cipal John E. Ray. was excellently played by the band of blind musicians, woh showed great ability. The com position showed Mr. White's knowl edge of music and its rendition his skill In training. "The Curfew," a chorus by the Ad vanced Choir, undei the direction of Mr. John A. Simpson, was thoroughly enjoyed, as was evinced by the hearty 1 p P 1 L U 3 Qt The "Drill of the Sprites" by the Kin dergarten Class was one of the pret tiest things on the programme, and showed careful training on the part of the teachers. Little Leon Harris recited "How Ti-mmie Nursed the Baby," and was heartily encored. In response he named the presidents of the United States and .the Governors of North Carolina, a feat that -would test the memory of some of the Belong. Part Two of the programme was de voted to the "Chronothanatoletron,". or "Time and Death Anni-hilator." Act ing 1s a new feature In the institu tion, but last night's play reflected great chedit upon the teacher In charge ind upon the young ladies taking part. The songs Introduced were appropri ate to the characters that rendered them so creditably.. After the enter tainment the whole 'building was thrown open for inspection. , IMPORTANT SESSION. There will be a call meeting of the Suicide Club Sunday afternoon between the hours of three and six. Business of great Importance to be ranaaeted. Each member requested to bring their credentials. - THE BATE WAR Fighting in Earnest for Cotton Business SOUTHERN ENTERS Seaboard Firtt Made a Reduction-Then the Central and Yesterday the Southern Entered the Arena With Drawn Knife. Atlanta Journal. This morning the great cut in cotton rates goes Into effect, not only over the Seaboard Air Line, but orer the Cen tral of Georgia, the Southern aailway and other great transportation lines. During dog days, when the 'thermom eter is 9514 in the shade, with light traffic moving, -- would not seem strange that railroad officials should indulge in a little rate slashing. But in this brisk January weather, in the midst of what is conceded to be the best business season since 1S92, so fat as railroads are concerned, there is a genuine reason, and a pretty big one, at that, behind this recent slump in cotton tariffs, which gives promise of being the beginning of a long and stub born rate war. A new heavy weight scrapper entered the arena this morning in the. person of the Southern railway, which made an application to the Georgia railroad commission, similar to that made by the Central on Wednesday, as previ ously told in these columns, for author ity lo reduce the rates to Brunswick, and together with the Plant System, to meet the Central's cut at Savannah, by putting in effect a l!)-cent rate to these ports, in Ii"ii of 43 cents, as here tofore. It is reported that the Clyde and Ocean Steamship lines, from Charles ton Savannah, will aply the knife quite as vigorously as the rail lines have done, so that a rail-water rate from Atlanta will figure about 31 cents to Boston .as against the-old rate of 67 cents, a cut of more than 50 per cent. Then- . an be no doubt that the water lines will follow sail, for thye are not in business for their health, and they must meet the rail competition or do without the business. THIS THEORY WON'T HOLD WA TER. The theory which has been advanced to the effect that the shippers put up a Job on the Seaboard by routing over other lines in order to force it to cut is not generally credited. In the first place theSeaboaul by Its constant en deavors to afford its patronsyery rea sonable advantage, and to - promote their interests, has friends who stand by it through thick and thin. Again, it discredits the undoubted shrewdness of the Seaboard folks to suppose that such an extensive conspiracy as would take ail the Athens cotton by other lines, as well as a larfe portion o fthat from Atlanta, could be cariied out right under their noses iwthout being detected. Well Informed railroad men and cot ton dealers coincide In the belief that secret rate cutting or some other con siderable inducement, offered by com petent lines or their connections, drew the cotton in other directions. WAS BUSINESS SHY? A prominent business man advanced this new and somewhat plausible the ory: That when the Williams syndi cate went over the Seaboard's accounts prior to purchasing that road, it was found that this end of the road was not doing the business it should; that the Seaboard traffic people were spur red up to secure more, and hence the cut. When business gets shor t a blind man could tell what 'the Seaboard would do to s;art things moving lively. THE OUTCOME IN DOUBT. In shorl, it is difficult to say what the probable outcome will be. Things are in mighty bad shape for some tall fighting throughtout the South on cot ton rates; and when railroads begin to mix things in a Winter revival of this kind they are likely not to stop until they are out of wind. The public on the fence, looking on, ready to reap whatever advantage comes and hoping for more. Gene:ally the roads hope for an amicable adjust ment before things go too far. Every body who takes an interest in business affairs is waiting developments closely and nobody knows what the result will be. GONE TO JAC'KSONVILE. Mr. William A.

'Millard F. Moore was sentenced by Judge Brown this morning and March Jioth was fixed as lite date for the exe cution. Never has a more solemn and aai'ul scene been witnessed in the court h'-'ise of this county than was enacted this morning when the sentence nf death was pronounced upon Moore. An awful stillness, broken only by the ni'tii''iiiious voice , of the prison--i piecling I'm- mercy, pervade tile court roi'ih. When Moore ceased speaking Judge Brown proceeded to pass ft-n-t -nee while liis every accent showed that tile execution of this duty was extremely painful. Millard F. Moore, the desperate con viol who, while attempting to escape on tile night of October 30st, killed a guard named Shaw, was brought into court in cuslody of Deputies iiiddick and Powell at 9:45 this moning. Moore is appaienlly about fifty years old. He is of medium height, sturdy and close built, with rather small deep set black eyes. He is cool and collected at all time and shows the nerve of a daring desperado. Ai cording to his own testi mony lie 1ms been a horse trader since Sherman's army passed through the State. He also admits having been In court sixty or seventy times and hav ing shot s,x or seven men and when asked if he had killed any of these he had the r.ei'Vo, although on trial for his life to reply "No. but some of them ought to have been killed." He was dressed very shabily and wore a rag ged and faded overcoat. Judge l'.rown entered court shot tly before 10 o'clock. The clerk read yes terday's proceedings. The case of Moore was then taken up. 'Messrs. snow and Siniii: ?o"nl !' ih." '' - fendanl, then made a motion for a new trial. This was overruled and an ap peal was taken to the Supreme court and the defendant allowed to appeal as a pauper. The solemn duty then remained of passing sentence upon the prisoner. "Millard F. Moore have you any rea son why sentence should not be pro nounced upon you?" asked the judge. Moore stood before Judge Brown and gazed about him. Ho was cool and calm. He spoke slowly and his voice was very monotonous. "Yes, sir," he said in reply to Judge Rrown's question. "I don't think I ought to be sentenced. 1 have witnesses which, if they had been here. I believe the case wouldn't have gone as it has. Some of these saw the homicide. One guard I spiral ly wanted but some how he was got out of the way and couldn't be got. Course I am at your nn-rcy, you can do what you like with me. but I ain't guilty, and believe if I had a new trial it would be different. I don't think I ought to be sentenced now." Judge Brown said: "This is a very painful duty to perform, but the re sponsibility is not with the court it is the law. A-eording to your own tes timony you have lead a checkered life, but I would not add to the weight of sorrow which now oppresses you. The judgment of the court is that Millaid F. Moore be In the custody of the sheriff and placed in the common Jail of Wake county and kept In close and solitary confinement until Thursday, the thirtieth of March, -when, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. he shall be taken into the jail- yard and hanged by the neck until he is dead, and may God have mercy upon your soul." Moore did not betray the slightest emotion, but quietly took his seat. Dtu uty Riddick handcuffed him and he was carried back to jail, a doomed man, unless the Supreme Court should grant a new trial, or the Governor should pardon or commute his sentence. A county Is fortunate when such an able and scholarly Judge as Judge Brown has shown himself to be pre sides at its court. He has won the hearts of the bar and the people and is an honor to the bench of the State. Clerk Russ and his asslstar.it, Mr. Itoyster, Sheriff Page and his deputies and Solicitor Pou all contributed to the success of the most remarkable and thoroughly business court the county has ever had. The term ended today. SAMOA. By Cable to the Times-Visitor. BERLIN, Jan. 21. Dr. Hamann, a hleh official In the German foreign of fice, said today that the government hd Just received a report from Samoa giving the details, which are -regarded as reliable, because the report distrib utes the blame for errors committed prettey evenly, though some points re main unexplained.

Our Grand Secretary will leave early Monday morning for Elkin, Wilkesboro and other points in that section of the State In the inteiest of the Order, and especially that noble institution the Or phan Home. ! We clip the following from an Iowa paper and give it as a piece of news; but have grave doubts as to its relia bility. We do not believe that such a scheme would be attempted by any one connected with the Order, worthy though it might seem to be . "Brother Lloyd Jones, of Chicago, with other enterprising Brothers, are contemplating a ritual for a Junior Order of Odd Fellows. Brother Jones asserts that the Order will be to the I. O. O. F. what (he Sunday school is io the church. "Certain it is that this scheme of ed ucating young boys from twelve to twenty-one in the divine lessons of Odd Fellowship, is a noble one an J de serving of encouragement and commen dation. It is a great start in the right direction and must win. "The ritual as now evolved from tile -o holarly lawyer's adept mind consists of two degrees, each in their verbiage about as long as ihe thinl degree of Ihe subordinate lodge, the first degree !) ing a lesson of purity and called the Degree of Purity taken from Joseph .-is Die character sketch. By a .critic the whole play of the degie- is pro nounced far seperior to any degree woik of the subordinate lodge, which is saying nmeh. "The second degree, or Degree of Pa triotism, is calculated to instruct in pure, honest devotion to country, its emblem being the Stars and Stripes. and the Degree of Purity will be that of the coat of many colors. The ef fects arc studied to perfection and the work is equal to a skillful dramatist. The two degrees are to cost Ihe can didate but five dollars, and. it is hoped later to make membership in the Junior Order a stepping stone to an easy en trance to the subordinate lodge. "The cry has gone up from all bene ficiary orders, ilow an we increase our membership?" The theatre and clubs get all of tin- most desirable of tile young- me a pan of !h" time and many of them all the time. Thus the lodge is leally endangered. We a:e of the opinion that the right theory has been evoked to make the future easy, and, being launched by a thorough stu-d-nt and a qualified O.ljl Fellow be sides b.ing a public speaker of no mean ability, it may be assuring lo us that the future of this movement is to be wry great. Much is expected of it as it is going to be launched by strong and brilliant men. "The first lodge will lie instituted in Chicago at the birth of the New Year iwth much eclat. God speed it on its '.c"tid earcr." CONFIDENT OF yt'AY S l.KKKAT. By Telegraph to the Times-Visitor. IIAltltlSlil'HG. Jan.
