ALNeLY RAILROAD DISCUSSION.
The Wilmington Road Can Now Extend
Its Line to the Virginia Border
.r.-a.Ia1 &slanrara 10 thu Qianatchl
Especial telegram 70 tho Dfspatch-I


RALEIGH, n. c., March 7.-To-day's SEES
sion of the Senate was made extremely in
teresting by reason of the discussion OF
two House bills. one to recharter the
Petersburg road for two years, the other TO
prevent the Wilmington and Weldon rail-
road from building or leasing any line OF
road which will connect the Wilmington
and Weldon road with any road on the
VIRGINIA line between the Blackwater river
and the Oxford and Clarksville railroad.
The latter was first taken up. Senator
Bellamy warmly opposed it's passage, say
ing the Senate had previously voted IT
down-30 to IA.
PAY TAXES OR STOP.
He said it would fatally injure Whining
toms business interests. He desired the
charter given the Petersburg railway for
two wears, and let that road know it must
then pay taxes or stop.
IN OPPOSITION.
Senator Turner spoke at great length in
opposition to the bill to stop the building
Of the connecting line. He urged the
Senate to grant tho Petersburg charter for
two wears. and said he hoped at the expl-
ration of that time the Norfolk and West
ern railroad will surrender its absolute
exemptions.
He denounced the bill as flying in the
face of the Constitution and revolutionary,
and said he could not stand up for revolu-
tionary politics.
THE PEOPLES INTERESTS.
The sole object was to force the Will
mington and Weldon road to give up its
chartered rights and pay taxes.
Mr.. Wilcox said the bill would only pre-
vent the Wilmington and Weldon road from
extending to the Virginia line and declared
that the people have interests to protect as
well as the railroads.
IN THE HOUSE.
By large majority the House had pass
ed the bill. He asserted that the Legisla-
ture has shown itself most friendly to rail-
BODYBUILDING, and now Just because 1t Is
asked that this road shall not have char
ter (by which it could escape taxation)
those who favor the bill are declared revo-
lutionary.
WENT OVER TO MONDAY.
The bill passed second reading-28 to 10.
It went over until Monday morning, an eff
fort TO pass it on third reading failing for
lack of the necessary two thirds. The bill
to recharter the Petersburg railroad for
two years also passed second reading and
went over until Monday.
II is believed tonight that for lack OF O
quorum neither bill will pass its third
reading. No matter whether the charter
is or is not granted the Petersburg railway
will continue. This is positively stated to
your correspondent tonight.

FRANKLIN, VA, March GA meeting OF
the County Democratic Executive Com
mittee will be held at CORTLAND on Mon
day. March 10th, for the purpose OF select
ing the time and manner of nominating
Democratic candidates for county ofhcers.
A GOOD many of our people favor mass
convention, those present from each dis,
trict in the county voting the strength Oh
that district. A primary election In the
country is hardly practical and the result
of delegate convention Is rarely satis-
factory to the mass OF the people.
CANDIDATES.
The canvass for county offices is get
ting very warm. The hottest contests
seem 10 be over the treasurership. for
which the candidates are the present in
cumbent, Captain j. j. Darden, and Dir.
L. A. Cav. of FranklinU district, and over
the Commissioner of the Revenue for Dis
trict No /. for which Mr.. r.. NJ. Edwards
and MIR. ]. L. Gillette are the candidates.
Indications now are that the old ticket,
with one or possibly two exceptions, Will
be renominated. We hear that In por-
ton of the county the canvass for the
county judgeship (Which place VIII De
filled BY the Legislature next Decemberl
is also becoming exceedingly warm ana
exciting.
COUNCIL PRocEEDINGs.
The Town Council of Franklin met last
night. A large amount of business was
considered, the following being the most
important: A number of building permits
for the erection of both brick and frame
houses were granted, among them one to
BRYANT & Knight and Vaughan d Co. to
build two brick buildings for q drugstore
and bank. The Council refused to carry
out the instructions of the citizens at q
meeting held here on February 9th request
ING them to borrow money for the town
and spend 81 900 in improving the streets
and 81. 900 in building a market and town
hall. This action carries that question IN
fortunately into municipal politics. and 1t
will be an issue in the next town election.
This spring. A number of our citizens are
IN favor Of borrowing money and I'M
proving the town, while number are OPP
posed to the borrowing OF money by the
town for any purpose. what the verdict
of the voters of the town Will be 1t is In
possible to predict at this time.
THE RIGHT THING.
The Council made an appropriation to
assist the county IN putting. one or the
roads leading into the town In thorough
order. A motion to purchase lot OF
much-needed hose for use in connection
with the pipes and engine that we now
have was defeated.
motion to compel the barber shops
here TO close on Sundays was carried by
close vote.
II was the busiest meeting held for q
long time.
