It was midnight Whan the Watts Liquor regulation . bill passed third reading la the House last alght An attempt was immediately made to put the "clinchern . on it, but this tailed, for the reason thai some of the strong prsUbltlon members, who yet hope to pass the London bill. This of oourse Is an error. t. The Armfield company of Fsy etterllle is granted permission to Increase its ospltal stock from $10,000 to 150,000. A charter Is granted the Hall-Wood Furni ture Co., Of Oxiord, with $25,0D0 capital Stock; J. 8. Hall and 3. R. Wood stock holders- Bills were favorably reported In the Legislature today for dispensaries at Marshall and Hot Springs In Madison county, and at Oxford. A favorable report was made today on the bill rtvlne Mecklenburg county s dog tax law. The annual tax on dogs in Charlotte Is (3, sud the great many own ers kept their dogs in the country. Then too, there are some thousand of country dogs. The bill Is of course to protect sheep, also to protect children, and to raise revenue for the public schools. It Is expected that there will be quite an Interesting discussion on Baldwins bill to prohibit the wearing of .big hate or for that matter any other sort In thea tres or other public halls. Mr. Baldwin Is to be given fall opportunity to venti late his views on this grave matter, snd no doubt will have a fine female audi ence. Most earnest efforts will be made to secure the paiasge of a bill making an appropriation to have this State repro ved properly at the 31. Louis exposi tion. Up to this time the committee sppoint el by the legislature to examine the ac counts and books of tbo Stale Treasurer and Auditor hat gone no further. The legislature will now clothe It with power to examine the books and vouchers of all Bute institutions, There are a number of applications from various places to form Infantry companies In the State Guard. Among these being Wadesboro, Monroe end Albemarle. In all nrobabllty Wsdes- boro will be successful. There Is only one vacancy. Aeeneral order from military headquarters will soon bt Is sued directing that enlistments . be msde to bring the number of enlisted men up to the flcure named by the President. It Is said to be the idea of Adjt General Boyster, that 48 enlisted men will be about the proper figure, and that he has so Informed -the Secretary of War who asked his opinion. The minimum num ber In the BtaW Guards is now only 40. Ooi 3. F.

TAX RATE ADOPTED. Chslrman Gulon's SUtemenL Increase of Revenue. Bins Introduced. Liquor Bills Beit Week, Special to Journal. Raleiob, Feb.ai.-A blllwulutro- duced in the Senate to legalize all school elections. Bills passed to give Asbevllle compulsory school attendance law; to extend stock law In Hyde county; to punish seduction and abduotion of mar ried women and to punish elopements; to stimulate publlo road Improvement, about half the State is excepted from Its provisions; to allow people of Wilson not to vote on dispensary. The London liquor regulation bill was passed over until Monday with the un derstanding that the final votes be had Tuesday noon. The Watts liquor regulation bill passed by the House Isst night, come over, was referred and ordered printed. The bill was passed giving the corporation com mission power as to demurrage charges. Bills wero Introduced In tne House to prohibit manufacture and sale of adul terated illuminating oil; to Incorporate name of Klisabeth City through line rail way company; to prevent drunkene'ss In Beaufort county; to prevent depredations of domestic fowls. The House went Into committee of the wholo on the revenue bill, the question was asked whether the rate of $1,18 on poll, and 43 cents on property was suffi cient to raise the revenue necessary. The chairman of the finance committee esti mated the increase of taxes under the present bill at $159,000. Graham said much taxable property was escaping tax atlon, the railways were escaping their just share, lie favored a tax on their gross earnings, and Increasing their as sessments from 42 millions to 100 mil lion dollars. Chairman Gulon of the appropriation committee, said there would bo no defi cits, that could be charged up as fault of that committee, aad that bulk of ap proprtstions will not exceed the revenue to be raised by bills; that the bond Issue was necessary, and that committee did not think It wise to Increase the rate of taxation. The sections were unanimous ly adopted, fixing the State tax on p re party at II cents, 4 cents for pensions, publlo school 18 cents, poll tax $1 18. OABVOnxA.
