Dill 10 secure TO creditors an eUuai
division of the assets of debtors max
ing assignments, except that clerks and
laborers shall be preferred.
Mr.. Beliamy said that our present
| law vas most fertile source of fraud.
A maj ,rity of the assignments made in
this State are fraudulent. Dishonest
men use this law to defraud the mer-
chant, the manufacturer and the farmer
alike. This is not right. This bill ap-
| peals to our sense of right and justice.
| Thirty one States have laws similar to
| the bill now before the Senate.
Mr.. King thought the main object of
the bill would fail. He thought the law
could be evaded by giving mortgages.
he also thought there ought to be some
remedy for the protection of home cred
ltors. He did not oppose the bill, he
only wanted it perfect.
| Mr.. Williams said he thought this
might be good bill, but he had not
heard much from the people on this
subject. He thought the present law
| good enough. BE was afraid of the bill
and should vote against it, He was op-
| posed to be always tampering with the
Code.
Mr. Durham thought the present law
good enough.
Mr. Aycock said the present law was
an outrage. Men continually assign ex-
pressly to make money. There is GER
tainly no defence for the old bill. This
| bill may not meet every case, but it
seems to be the best that can be done
This is a bill for justice-not to favor
| any one. He believed in honesty for
home merchant.
The Sanata adiournad at 9 O'clock apd
