, At noon the House took up as a spe
cial order the, Steven anti-trust bill.
The committee hid amended the hill so
It did not apply to Jobbers, canning,
flailing; or cotton mill corporations,,
which, are not the agents of any trust.
Robinson said the bill was how aimed
directly at the trust and did not In
jure any of the mercantile or manufac
turing Industries of North Carolina.
Williams, of Iredell asked if it would
interfere with the buying and selling
of fertilisers. t -Stevens said It would de
pend upon whether the - goods were
made, by a trust or not He said it
would not affect this year's sale of fer
tilizers, but that It prevented a combi
nation to control prices. The blil.pass
ed its ; second reading without debate.
It la entitled "'An 'Aot to punish pools,
trusts and conspiracies."
On 3rd reading there was debate. Mc
Neill asked whether section 5 of the
bill ijid not put a premium on dishon
esty. Stevens replied. Rountree and
Stevens had a colloquy as to the Vir
ginia and Carolina Fertilizer Company.
Stevens said the thing: to do was fgs
the North Carolina firms in, that trust
to get out of it. "'"Patterson, of Robe
son said that with section 5 In it the
bill was a strong one. He denied that
i'section 5 encouraged dishonesty and
contended that it would not encourage
dishonesty. Williams offered an
amendment to strike out section fi, and
said in his opinion It put a premium
on dishonesty. (Yesterday the com
mittee on Foushee's motion decided to
strike out the section. (This meaning,
it appears, in consideration of Stevens
agreeing to, certain amendments of the
bill section 6 was allowed to stand.)
Boushall said he was not prepared to
vote on the bill Anally today. He mov
ed to reconsider the vote by which the
bill was ordered on 3rd reading. Ste
vens opposed this, but finally agreed
that it should go over until after the
morning hous tomorrow and become a
special order at noon.

for.. $200 per-annum for each pupil In
excess of 200. McLean ,of Harnett, ably
supported the bill. He said no further
appropriations for buildings would be
asked for. for 25 years. It has purchas
ed 20 acres of land, at $40 an acre,, in
the suburbs of Raleigh, near the ne
gro's Institution. It is supposed that
the bill will cany a total appropriation
of $15,000 a year. There are now 328 in
mates, and there are many applica
tions. For 4 months the institution has
been operated on credit. The $18,500 is
mainly for a building for girls at the
white institution for the blind. McLean
said this and other 'desired appropria
tions can be made without increasing

A. AND M. COLLEGE
A Bill to Consolidate Two
Boards.
REORGANIZATION
Proposed ta Pat the State Department
of Agriculture and the A. and
. M. Col ege Under One r..,0
Board. '
Mr. Winston introduced a bill today
for the Department of Agriculture and
Mechanic 'ArtB. The bill provides for a
Board of Trustees, which will have
charge of the Department of Agricul
ture and also of the College of Agricul
ture and Mechanic Arts. All powers
no.v conferred by law on the Board of
Agriculture and on the trustees of the
A, and M. College are conferred on
this new board.
The bill provides for nine directors
one" from each congressional district,
practical farmers, who shall select offi
cers and' agents for the work of the
Departmnet of lAgrieulture. The pur
pose of the bill is to thoroughly reor
ganize the A. and M. College.
Twenty-one trustees are provided for.
The textile school if established will
be under control of this board. The
The chemists for the board of agri
culture are to asslt in teaching at the
A. and M. College.
It Is believed that the joining of these
two departments will result in a sav
ing of money all around. One experi
mental farm, will take the place of two
and" one se of experiments will only
be had.
The college will be brought to do the
work it was established to do and will
enter upon an era of Industrial, me
chanical and textile Instruction as will
make it the first Institution of its kind
in the Union. .
This is one of -the most Important
measures yet Introduced.

Dear Belle, she has gone to rest:
Her earthly mission now is o'er.
Pillowed on the Saviour's breast.
There to rest forever more.
'Twas hard, dear one. to give her up,
But thirgs must perish in this vale;
By grace of God we drink the cup.
Nor should we now our loss bewail.
To think that now thy suff'ings o'er.
The pain intense is from thee gone.
Thy form lies smiling as ot yore,
Smile on, smile on, beauteous one.
Though our hearts are sad and lonely
We would not call thee back asain,
From a home so free from sorrow
Free from earthly care and pain.
We will Ftrive to live still closer
To our loving Saviour's side,
That we may meet our darling sister.
When we too have crossed the tide.
