In June tb? Legislature Will In

' Prltchard la Maryland,
Raleigh, Nov. 7 One of the Demo
cratic leaders in the Legislature, speak
ing of tin dociston in the railroad tax
assessment case, says the Legislature
will certainly meet next June and that
ha supposes the act creating the corpora
tion commission will be so amended as
to give the commission authority to
assess railroid property for taxation, in
dependent of any provision In the ma
chinery act. Of course railroads can
even then appeal to the Federal Court
for an injunction, but in granting it the
court will hae to reflect upon the wis
dom or sincerity of the corporation com
mission;' There will then be ne room to
decide that the commission, has not the
power to assess such property.. --..
The corporation commission Is In ses
sion .again this week. Among ether
things to which it will givo special at
tention will bean appeal from Judge
Slmonton's decision In the railroad tax
assessment case.1, Attorney F. M.' Sim
mons says that an appeal would Im
mediately be taken, and that the suit
would go to the end of the law; to the
Circuit Court of Appeals and then, if
necessary, te the Supreme Court. He
expressed surprise at the decision and
the point made, saying he expected that
the judge would follow the custom ol
the United States Supreme Court, which
sustains the construction put by . the
itaie conrl on State laws. The Stale
Court in such cases holds that the laws
enicted at one sestlon of the Legislature
are to be considered pari materia, as wa
the cass in the asylum cases and in the
Dtj penitentiary case.
Eugene liarroll, ex-quartermaster gen-
eral of the Siate and ex-qnartermaster
of the First I:elment ef Volnnletrs, is
C uvalescing from an attack of jellow
ver at Havana. : It Is learned . that
t it re have been fewer case of fever In
ilavana this year than in any year in
perhaps a century.
The Supreme Court this week l hear
ins; appeals from the seventh district.
. Farmers in this section who expected
stmeihlng of a top crop of cotton say ii
failed to materialize. The frosts cut it
off. It is but rarely that the August
blooming amounts to much.
Efforts are to be made to considerably
develop the State Library. ,
Much Work is in progress en the

It-Is quite probable that the Demo
cratic State committee will meet here
before the) ear closes. -i
In the Superior Court hers today a
suit for $10,000 sgalnst the Seaboard Air
Line was taken up. ' A fireman named
Overby was killed two miles from here
In December, 1898, "his -engine having
been derailed. His widow sues for dam.
ages, basing her suit on the claim that
the road was defective; that is, the rail
was not properly fastened. The. rail-
rod claims that the rail had been tamp

; The law requires that the bonds of
county officers shall be . filed with the
State Auditor, that of the register of
deeds by the olork, and that of the clerk
and sheriff by the register of deeds. The
Auditor is asked whether there Is any
compensation allowed for soeh filing
and says no.
A representative of the American
Bank Mote Company calkid on tb btate
Treasurer and assured him that the pen
lientlary bond will quickly be printed
He said that the representative of the
company, with whom the Treasurer had
been dealing, was of unsound mind, and
addedthat it would not be necessary for
the Treasurer to sue the company for in
terest on the debt for the farms, as. the
company would pay It without any trou
