pro'eclon IN the crop lien law and the
law against immigration agents.
MT. Gilman opposed this legislation.
lie had heard pleas for the Door man
but this legislation is step towards
creating system Of slavery. If land.
lord who induces tenants to leave shonld
be indlctab:e, under the present law. the |
tenants are hedged about, and thew are
poor and unfortunate. 1t is wrong 70 |
put another shackle upon the tenant
This is Senate Of landlords-and T heo
you in the name of God not to put add. |
ton shackles upon him.
Mr.. Allen of Granville, thought this
bill was only to prevent one landlord
from taking tenant from another. We
have enough legislation as between land
| lord and tenant, but this is between
londlords themselves
Mr. Avery also thought we had enough
law regarding landlord and tenants.
| There is no class so sensitive as the ten
ants, and If they know of this they will
| feel that the landlords are here legisjat
! ing for themselves whore they have no
| representation. Another thing be didn't
| llke-putting the tenants of the State
under the the head Of servants. It may
be sentiment, but nevertheless am op-
posed to it. We ought not to make
servant out of the honest tenant.
| Mr.. Payne said he had always, as
| landlord, allowed his dissatified tenants
and laborers 30 leave him if they wanted
to, since they would DO no work there
after if they stayed. He had introduced
the bill.
Mr. Freeman said, answering the
charge that the tenant had no represen-
tative: "If thought did not represent
the tenants Of my county | would resign
and go home. When we deal with the
agricultural classes we ara doing par
ticular business. hope the bill will
pass"
Mr.. King thought the Senators had
labored under misrepresentation. The
bill was drawn so as TO make it plain,
the reason the terms cropper and tenant
| were used.
Mr.. Gilman thought the tenants and
troopers should not come under the
head of servant. Don't make the tenant
guilty of misdemeanor as is servant.
but let the landlord, who induces him to
: leave, be the only one guilty.
: Mr. Turner declared that the tenant
could not be guilty under this act but
only the landlord. It's only object is to
reach those landlords who wiiully en-
tice away the lahorers of other landlords.
Mr. Gilman moved to recommit the
/, bill, which motion was carried.
The Cigarette Bill.
The bill to prohibit the sale of cigar
etts to minors was brought up and Mr.
J., Allen, of Granville, opposed It's passage.
g He said that he represented great to
n bacco section, and it would hurt them i
the bill was passed. This bi.
i will be weapon IN the hand;
l. of these cigarette trusts agairs
IS the raisers of tobacco. There is q Law
k | here to prohibit the sale of liquor tC
n minors and every one knows it is Still
n | sold to them This act will only teaci
i. young boys to break the laws IN thei
le infancy. ''If we cannot prevent our chill
/ dren from smoking cigarettes we shoul'
as not ask the Legislature to do 1t. Ih
I great American trust, while their sale
" " i'll not be whit decrease, will tell th
es tobacco raiserS that they cannot pa
ye them as much for their tobacco as the,
r would had the bill not been passed an
Us thus the raisers cannot get as good
IN price. The bill went over until 1t coui
us be better investigated.
IS To incorporate the Brunswick an
% Southern Railway Co. Mr.. William
49, opposed the bill and believed that corpo
ations ought to be held strictly to a.
n. count. BE said that the bill compele
of the county Commissioners to order a
rs, election in anyway. Mr.. Butler move
ire to amend the bill, carried. Mr.. Luc'
All moved to recommit the bill, carried.
