Mr.. Hall of Orange, said that the

| farmer.
Mr.. Cover thought his county Uohn-
ston) used as much fertilizer as any
county, and they were willing TO pay for
it. do not think the farmers pay the
| tax; bat if they do, it is enough advan-
| tage to as to justify its payment.

| Wilkesboro. Mr.. Murdock asked its
| reference SO that the people of Wilkes
heard together.
Mr.. Henry, from the committee cor
| rected the bill. The people of New
Wilkesboro who advocate this bill own
| all the land 10 be Incorporated. Wien
the Railroad is extended it has got to
| pass through old Wllkesboro. This is q
| Railroad trick. The r Il d. Railroad
| S boa constructor, which is destroying
| he whole State. This road desires to
| extend its corporation SO that it will not
! have to carry the road across the river
| A Railroad attorney told me this, aud he
| said that Col. Andrews told the attorney.
Mr.. Murdock asked to correct Mr.
| Henry, and said that those opposed to
| the new incorporation owned 500, ,O0C
| of property proposed to be incorporated
| and said that he asked if it was not the
| representatives of the r. & D. that were
| here to pray the charter. This is fight
between honest tax payers and railroad
| owners and managers
Mr.. John Quincy Adams Bryan, OF
| Wilkes said bill had passed the Sen
| ate extending the corporate limits OF
| Nilkesboro, and So as to include New
| Wilkeaboro If this House Was familiar
] with the location-aDd saw the wide
| bottom lands that intervene between the
| owo towns-they would incorporate the
| new town. 1t Is three quarters Of d
| mile from the towns. He said people
| IN Alexander and Iredell were taking a
great deal of interest in this local mat
| Ter, and the reason is that they want to
| get the mountain trade.
Mr.. Holman dad not desire to discuss
he question. The Senate heard both
| petitions. and believed the House ought
. give all parties hearing He de-
Tended Iredell and the Senators rom the
district from the aspersions of the 9on
tleman on. Wilkes.
Col. Pickett said that the Committee
| unanimously reported fayoring charter
ing of the new town, and be believed in
giving the new town a charter. If not
they will be put at disadvantage in the
matter of mails.
Mr. Gilmer said that the reference was
made in the Senate because the parties
had not been >h. ard; but here all had
been heard by the Committe and re-
ference was unnecessary.
Mr.. Bryan, Of Wayne, urged the refer
| ence to Committee. He desired to do
| what was justice, and he could not do
so to-day.
Mr. Henry wanted to call attention to
another railroad" trick toR the old
charter extended. The r Il D. railroad
wanted to incorporate Newton and Con
over under one charter SO thas it can
leave Newton without a road. They
don't want to build across the river and
they are trying to save the expense of q
| costly bridge.
Mr.. Banner thought the old town
wanted TO take in the new town 20 as to
tax it and spend the money to develop
the old town. WiIkesboro has been
lying there rotting for two centuries. It
was fully considered yesterday.
Mr.. Holman said it was quite a reve-
lation that work was done on Sunday.
Mr.. Banner replied: II mean Satur-
day. | went to SO many churches yes
terday that the day slipped away before

railroads. l don't know much, but /
