NOTES.
Representative Lodge was working on |
his speech yesterday defining his position |
on constitutional constitution.
The anti Chicago beef men will not be |
down until next week and then they are |
expected to come in force. The friends |
Of the measure are by no means confident |
OF its passage and when they see the
ream or so Of petitions that will come /
down from Wilmington against the bill |
they will be shaker than ever.
There was fun in the House during the |
noon recess to-day and Representative |
Eckles is after the man who fixed his |
glasses so that they would not hurt his
eyes. He has grave suspicious that the /
members from this city are implicated in
the scheme
Colonel e. T. Cooper and Captain
Eckles went up to Wilmington last |
evening.
The prospects for a state insane
asylum grow brighter
On Monday evening next the public |
meeting on the temperance bill will |
take place in the hall OF the House. The
temperance advocates will be present in |
force to urge the passage Of the bill. II |
Is not believed thar the liquor men will |
appear.
Addicks and his bill are possibilities Of |
next week. It is said that the attorneys
Tor the measure are preparing certain |
amendments that viii meet all objections
Representative Morgan advised All per. |
sons to keep their feet out of the sand p
