- LEGISLATIVE ECHOS.

ibe ee

As Condensed From The Wilmington
Messenger.

It was 1:05 o’clock Weanesday merne
ing when the legislature adjourned sine
die, after a most eventful. ‘session of
sixty-two days.

Mcst of the talk Wednesday among
the public men was about the injunction
of Judge Simonton against interference
with the lease of the North Carolina
\Tailway to the Southern. A very prom.
jinent jurist says that so far, as he
knows, it is the first time a govenor
has been enjoined from bringing suits
in his own courts; that the people of
North Carolina are jealous ot the fed-
eral courts, this being particularly the
case west ot bere ; that he thinks this
proceeding, tor this reason ill-advised ;
that it will add immensely to the
strength of the populist party in the
state; that the governor will, if Simon-
ton decides against kim at Greensboro
April 6th, certainly take the case to the
United States supreme court, which
will hardly confirm such a decieion ;
that if Simonton sets aside the injunc—
that it will be equivalent to saying the
state courts can settle the matter.

There is, it seems, quite a little flurry
as to who shall be the new commis—
sioner of agriculture. The populist mi-
hority want J. M. Mewborne to get the
ptace, but it may be that Senator Par—
ker, of Randolph, will be the winner,

There were no less than fifteen fac—
tlons in the legislature. The lease
question tore the partles all to pieces.
It now threatens to continue this next
year. This is why the western repub-
licans were su anxious to get it out of

politics.

Goyernor atussell’s friends laugh at
the attempts made by many of cha
republican legislavors to balk him in
his purpose to have control of the va-
rious institutious. They feught him
desperately, black and white, but in
the end he has had his wey.

chavges in the faculty, but to mike
changes as to the officers and employes,
J. C. L. Harris is chairman of the new
board of agriculture.

No less 400 bills died on the leg—
slative calendar. Among the chief
were these: To prevent habitual
drunkenness. To prohibit the existexce
of trusts and combines. To establish
a state retorm school. To aid in the
enforcement of the inter-state com—
merce Jaw. ‘To require compulsory at
tendance at public schools. ‘To estab—
lish a true meridian in each county
of the state. To tax pistols at each
sale. © A joint resolution of sympathy
with Cuba. To print and disizibute
the sketches of North Carolina regi-
ments in the war. To protect public:
water supplies, To reduce the tonnage
tax on commercial fertilizers from 25
to 20 cents per ton. To provide fot
holding farmers’ institutes. To pro”
tect song andinsect eating birds, To
protect wives against crueity of hus-
bands. To establish the rule of master

 

 

and servant b*tween municipal corpo-
rations and their employes. To forbid
minors from entering and loafing in
barrooms. To make the wives of con-
tederate soldiers eligible to pension on
the death of the latter. To amend the
constitution by incorporating the elec-
tion law as the fifteexth amendment
and define what constitutes a political
parly. To allow court stenographers,
To fix the time of payment of mill em-
ployes. To increase duties aud power
of the railway commission. ‘To create
a state board of equalization. To
create a code commission. To incorpo-
rate the state veterinary association. To
furnish arms and jegs to all confed-
erate soldiers. To allow mayors vo
perform the marriage ceremony. ‘lo
allow deputy clerks ot court ‘to probate
deeds.

The governor commissioss D. H,
Abbott, railway commissioner. His
commission to Thomas H. Sutton as
judge of the Eastern criminal circuit is
effective April 1st.

The total number of acts and_reso-
putions of the legislature enrolled was

76 of the former and 56 of tke lat

Tie bill to prevent the disimember-
ment of the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley railway in a sale was ratified
Monday night.

The populists are declaring that their
party will sweep the state in 1898 and
that they will absorb thousands of re~
publicans and democrat:,

Gevernor Russell and Attorney Gen-
eral Walser had a conference today re-
garding the injunction of the federal
court as to the lease. State Treasure,
Worth finds that the legislative aporo-
priations aggregace $950,000, which far
eXceeds any previvus appropriatio. ». It
is sald the special appropriatons amount
to $130,000.

 

Anothir Fine Sermon,

Rev. J. B. Merton arrived fiom Ta:.
boro Thursday eyening, and preached to
a large congregation in the Presbyterian
church at the night service. His dis—
course wa; up*n the parable of the
talents. He vlearly and forcibly pointed
cut the duties resting upon every one in
rightly using the talents God has given
him. ‘The illustrations he used were
very impressive. ‘The sermon in its
entirety was an able one and received
closest attention fom the congregation,

Mr. Morton will preach again to-

. At the conclusion of Mr. Cleve-
.\ Jand’s first administration, he
~ ‘““torned overto Mr. Harrison one
hundred million gold.reserve, and
anet available balance of $48,-
096,148.. When Mr. Cleveland
| assumed the presidency for the
second time the Harrison admin-
istration turned oyer to him a
nominal balance of $24,128,088,
but if the books had been kept in
the same way as four years before
they would have shown an actual
deficit of $9,641,803, the gold re-
serve being impaired to that
extent. Retiring for the second
**.time Mr. Cleveland turns over a
net available balance, over and
aboye the hundred million gold
reserve, of $72,330,9:6. deducting
the redemption fund, subsidiary
coin, ete. These figurs are given
‘by the Philadelphia Times, an
independent paper.
' Tf the present administration
cleans out the Treasury as did
‘that of Harrison, the next Presi-
dent, if he be'a Democrat, will
have to apply himself to the same
task that contronted Mr.Cleyeland
—that of filling up a depleted
Treasury. The difference between
Republican and Democratic rule
is hiere very strikingly set forth.
One pulls down and the other
builds up. But there are people
who wil] abuse Mr. Cleveland for
leaving all that money for the
Republicans to squander.

No Wine for McKinleys.

oekeeinea a

Indications point to the absence
of win the White House dinners
during this administration.

A dinner was tendered last
night by the McKinleys to their
kinsfolk. It was elaborate in all
respecta, except that no wine was
served. The dinner. was served
jn tho family dining room, and
there was no formality. In pot
having wine Mrs. McKinley will
only follow the practice of many
years. The President is a consis-

‘tent abstainer.

| & nephew of President and
Mrs- McKinley, who was at the
dinner, said: “We didn’t havea
drop of wine. You know, the
Major and Mrs. McKinley never
drink wine themse!ves,and do not
believe in setting a bad example
for their younger relatives, or, in
fact, for any one. I’ve never seen
Wine on their table, and I’ve
@aten at their nome hundreds of
time.” :

During the recent campaign,
although many noted statesmen
wore guests at the McKinley

couples married. {u the morning
there was a tripple wedding in

the church. In the afternoon

three other couples were wedded
within an hour of each other at
the homes of the respective
brides. All six of the couples
were entertained at the home of
Uncle Bob Tucker, who after the
dimerent marriages, was closely
related to all the principals there-
to. Now come some of the sin-
gular features of the case. — Uncle
Bob, before the wedding, had in
the lot of twelve individuals a
daughter, a son, three grand
aaughtere, one niece and one
nephew. In the twelve there
were a brother and sister, two
sisters, two brothers, three cous-
ins, two uncles, an aunt, four
nieces and two nephews, and yet
no one of the twelye persons
married any one related tohim or
herse:f, Another funny feature
18 that before the weddings there
were two named Hopkins, two
Dunbara, two Chelfs, two Tuck-
ers, two Mc Whorters, one Pendlc-
ton and one Hood. After the
omelet was done, the Dunbars
and Hopkinses had gained two,
the Pendletons, Chelfs and Me:
Whorters had been exterminated:
the Hoods had been increased by
one, and the Tuckers had held
their ground. Ever since the
wedding day the gossips’ have
been figuring on the probable
kinship between the  saveral
brides and grooms and _ their
mutual relative to uncle Bob
Tucker.

 

 

Two Blind Housekeepers,

 

Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Johnson are
two young blind people who live
at Burgaw, Pender county. The
wonderful and remarkablo fact
about this couple is that they
are regular housekeepers, doing
all the work that is done, both in
and out of doors, for their own
living. Mr. Johnson has a small
cart on which he delivers freight
from the depot to the stores for
the merchants, who kindly belp
him along in that way. He does
other kinds of work outside as
wellas the work about home.
Mrs. Johnson, with Mr. vobnson’s
help does the cooking, ete. It is
said that she is a very neat house-
keeper and a good cook. She
keeps her floors very clean and
can make as good acake as any
lady in Burgaw. Mr: Johnson is
about 30 and his wife about 28
years of age. They were married

about two years ago. He lost his
eyesight when about two years
old, from sore eyes, aud Mrs.
Johnson lost hers when about
one year old. He was born in
Bladen county and she in Kin-
ston. They were both educated
at the asylum for the blind in
Raleigh and have lived at Bur-

.gaw about four years.

The Seaboard to Have New Orleans
Connections.

 

 

The Augusta News believes that the
Seaboard will soon have New Orleans
connections. It says:

‘Lhe way the Seaboard wilt get into
Columbus and New Orleans is, accord-
ing to a we'l-posted man as follows :

A line will be built from Atlanta to

‘arrollton, a distance of forty or fifty
miies, connecting ther with the Chat-
tanooga, Rome & Columbus, which will
be extended from Carrollton to Gulum-
bus, a distance of about seventy-five
miles, where it will tap the Alabama
Mialand for Montgomery and New
Orleans.

In addition to this move by the Sea-
board, it is stated that it they are giv—
en the proper encouragement and pat-
ronage by the merchants ot Augusta
they will within the next twelye months
have their own trains running into this
city.

‘This route will of course be over the
Tennessee, Georgia & Atlantic Rail-
road, the direct line of which will be
from Chottanooga to Jiula, thence to
Athens, via the Nortneastern, and on
to Augusta by the construction of the
new roac.
