urauam ana went into tne history of the building and showed that while the present nor the last Assembly was not re sponsible for the enterprise it was never theless" the duty of those having the State interestin charge to continue the as a matter of economy as well as of necessity He remarked upon the policy proposed by Mr Graham of giving $50 per annum to the outside insane and thought it bad policy But apart from that he held that lhe constitution made it imperative on the Legislature to take care of the insane and by that he meant not merely their support but their cure where possible He had taken an oath to support the constitution and whilst bin constituents thought proper to send him here as their representative hewould obey the constitution conscientiously in this re gard as in all others Mr Dortch moved to amend Mr By amendment by providing $20000 for the asylum for the colored insane at Goldsboro Mr Dortch said the site had been selected the grounds laid out and one wing and the central part of the build ing neatly finished since the last meeting of the Legislature anti the building would soon be in a condition to accommodate about 240 patients All the

AGIUCUITUBAL LI KN LAW Senate bill to repeal sections 19 and 20 chap 05 Revisal pro iding for an agricultural lien law was now reached Air King who introduced the bill ad vocated us passage It has been found to work badly in many respects and proved wuL acuiBu iu iue biuhh lariner in ieaa ing him lurii habits of idleness and extrav aganco by enabling him lo mortgage what he had not lhe crops he was yet to raise The bill did not nfnnose to inter Ifere with the landlord and tenant lien but Ito bring about a change in the relations between merchant and farmer and save to 'the latter ffom 50 to 100 per cent on his supplies In his county the merchants desired this change as it tended to cash sales Mr King spoke at some length aad said that his bill had received the unanimous endorsement of the committee on agriculture with one 1 Mr opposed ite passage as 7 it would destroy lhe farmer's credit hfi hkv ing for the most part no Other security on which 'to procure advancement of sup plies Mr Mebane favored the bill It was too common an occurrence for merchants to make advances based upon the crop and when the time for payment rolled round the crop was not there and the merchant lost his debt The class of farmers referred to (croppers) must learn to meet their obliga'ions or work for those who would Mr Austin said that in his county th staunchest farmers wi plenty of stock and lands gave liens and wanted no inter ference in their mode of doing business The poor were now acondition deplora ble enough but the repeal of this law jwould render them worse still Mr Leach was satisfied lhe repeal of the law would prove unfortunate for the land owner and the laborer The plan pro posed by Air King bad been attempted in South Carolina and failed Besides saidMr Leach it tends to degrade labor and jreduce the small farmer to the condition of a mere field hand or that of the tramp The law as it stood gave the poor man the chance of a little credit and'' gave scope for enterprise and industry Air McEachern concurred in the views' 'of Mr Leach He thougnt lhe farmers ofthe State were running the whole State machine At all events they took a lively hand in it and were capable of attending to thei own interests He had seen nor heard of no petition or memorial from them asking lhe repeal 'of the law under discussion The question on the second reading of the biUahowed 8 in lhe affirmative and 25 1 in the negative i Amotion to reconsider thia vote was tabled!

order for 8 in was taken up the ques tion being on its second reading The bill provides that the Governor and Board of Directors of the Penitentiary shall ap portion all the convict labor of the State as to them may seem just and right Mr Davidson thought the bill should be referred to the committee on intemal im provements I Mr Shackelford who introduced the bill considered the matter so simple that any man could understand it and was op posed lo the reference I Mr Caldwell thought the bill would prove detrimental to the interests The 8 ate was largely interested in some of the works and should have more consid VI I Mr Nicholson considered the pro rata system proposed fair still he was bound to stand by the pledges given during the session of the number of convicts pledged to the Western and Yadkin Valley Rail road Company Mr Dortch objected that the bill made no distinction between works in which the State was largely interested and those of a private character Every railroad bill passed this session bad a provision that the force granted to lhe Western Rail road should not be reduced He suggest ed an amendment discriminating in favor of the works i 4 Mr Davidson offered an amendment providing that the Western Road shall be secured the 500 convicts awarded to it and the Western and Yadkin Valley Railroad ite 250 making 750 in all the remainder of the convicts (several hun dred) to be distributed pro rata to the other works Mr8hackelford objected to this amend meut The East demanded her share of the convict labor which she would now get by the proposed plan Mr Scales urged the adoption of the Amendment Air Alexander drew attention to the' difficulty of compelling the Penitentiary Board to keep a large number of convicts locked up at the cost whilst those to whom they may have been allotted are preparing to use them He thought the convicts should be given to those who were ready to work them and bear their ex pense lie ravorea tne committal of the bill and made a motion to that effect Which was rejected by a vote of 26 to I Air Davidson now urged the passage of his amendment There are three classes pf works to which it was proposed to apply convict that in which the State had a sovereign interest that in which the State was largely inter ested and thirdly that In which the State had no direct interest but which though conducted by private enterprise was of great public importance The first and second classes should receive all lhe labor required and the third class he thought the pro rata principle should apply The bill as it stood did not meet the nc cessities of the case Air Nicholson thought all the convicts could be kept al work where the interests were involved till required else where This would meet the difficulty ofheir being kept in idleness in the peni tentiary I Mr Dortch moved to amend by previ dlng that the convictsallowed to the West era Road shall not be reduced below 500 All the railroad bills passed this ses

Normal School Not a voice was raised against it either in the Senate or House of Repre sentatives a fact which reflects great credit on their desire to promote the educational interests of the State 1 We learn that th' school will be opened at the usual time in June A programme giving detailed information as to the acul ty and the branches to be taught will be published in April 1 The public
