This bill was reported unfavorably by the committee on corporations. A ing its passage. HOUSE. The House met at 10 o’clock. There was the greatest legislative sensation here today ever known in North Carolina. It occurred in the house of representatives. At 11:58 o’clock Sutton, ot Cumberland, member of the committee to investigate the lease of the North Carolina railway. to which the senate substitute bill was re. ferred, arose. Cook, who is chairman of that special committee, was in the chair. Lusk presiding during the ear- Hileman, who was so hoarse that he spoke with difficulty, sat on the left of Cook. Sutton asked consent to cal up the resolution asking the supreme court to give tomorrow its opinion in the matter of the substitute for tae lease bill. His purpose was to gain time. Blackburn sprang to his feet and us the hands of the clock peinted to noon declared that the hour set for the spe— ci l order—the senate substitute lease bill—had arrived and that it, must be taken up. Both he and Sutton kept on their feet. Demands were poured at the speaker to recognize one or the other. Conspicious among those who cried out were Sutton of Cumberland, Hancock and Alexander, Sutton, of Cumber- land, said he wanted the special order held up until the resolution was acted on.’ He wanted delay, Then the storm burst. Blackburn said; “You kuow that under the resolution adopted by this house no resolution can be introduced {save by unanimous consent. You know that the journal shows that the resolu- tion was not introduced. I move that the house concur in the senate substi- tute.” Then contusion broke loose. Twenty members were on the floor at once all shouting, all protesting, some one Way, some another. The two factions arrayed For two or three minutes tle uproar continued, Person, of Wayne, moved that the house take a recess until 8 o’ lock. There was a roar of protests ; ‘Vote it down, vote it down,” and amid the din, the voices of Alexander, the two (CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE.) themselves. miaority report was filed, recommend— For the Reflector, ONCE UPON ATIME. :” eae ete: BY ECHO.

Yards and yards of green, gray mosses, U’er the nearest holly stray’d Berry laden were the branches Swaying as tle mosacs swayed.

Though slight of build, thedoupcervieris long legged, and when he faces a man, his eyes glaring yellow, his gray fur sticking out i all directions, his tasseled vars upright, with the ugly grin that shows his long teeth, he isn’t the sort of creature that ona would like to take up and fondle.
