OF Incorporation was carefully cOnsid-

lofe Cha Legislature adjourned, and the
state Board DAD plenty of time to inves-
gate II: therefore regard that the
lalth OF the State is pledged. I re ard
IL that the price offered to the State for
this land by the company is a bio pyico
and believe it is right TO take il.
Mr.. Lucas declared he would he

remarks Of the Senator from Samson.
out DO believe the contract made

lar, square and legitimate | con-
sidered tiis with Major Finger NY
self and be considered it good sale
There was no fault in that transaction
1t was thoroughly ventilated and the
State Board was anxious for the con-
tract to be made Can we then repeal
that law without a cause? do say it is
not right after this company has done
its part, to repeal this act | know
there are some here who will, upon the
mention of railroad corporation, be
ready TO draw their knife aud slay it.
It is wrong. They DO the State good. |
am for better education for the chill
dren, but am fer honesty and justice
too.
Mr. Mclean said that the legislature
OF 1889 did promise the State Board to
submit the bill before it was finally
passed and it was not submitted to them
and the superintendent knew nothing OF
the SIP 600 iu bonds per mile to be
issued by the road.
Mr.. rwitty thought that the contract
made with the road ought to be stood to
! Mr.. Green said lie was for the con.
tract and that he believed it was entered
into in good faith. 1t is wrong in prin-
ciple to repeal this contract.
The amendment to the bill, to make
the railroad company pay S25, 900 in casl
: for the land, was adopUad.

[r. Lucas moved non concurrence. Mr.. b

ats hat the power was already given III

the supreme court might declare 1t to

men with Mr.. Turner; believed that rairo

here day or night except in stock law distr

the ought to be liable, and yet the supr'
fair court has decided that if cattle
and killed at night railroads were not
