The On>iow Railroad Matter Again.
| Mr.. Batter introduced a hill TO repeal
chapter 300, laws of 1857, aud portions
OF chapter -, laws Of 1899. IN relation

| failed. The bill WAS put upon It's read.
| ing. This bill gives this read ON. half
| of the State land, limits the hrst mort
| gage bonds TO &6. 600. aud oompels tho
road 10 run through the State lands
Mr.. Butler sent mp 7, buttons ot state
| Board OF Education requesting th. pas
| sage OF the legislation proposed by
him. The Board protested against
deciding NIL this Land 10 the road, aud
against allowing an increase IN hrst
| mortgage bonds, and against allowing
the road to merely outsklrt tho State
land.
Mr.. Gilman felt deep interc,t in this
matter. The less light thrown on thln
question tho better the chances OF Nr.
Buffers bill The Senate ha. not como
| here to stab corporations whenever an
opportunity IN allowed Ny people want
| harness and justice. Ii ~ not iTue that
| this company has acted IN bad faith,
| and We ought not To tax" away the fiehtn
| OF this company The Board of EducA
ton do not say they were ignorant of Nil
this legislation. Their hindsight Is bot
| ter than 'hetr foresight Now the gcn.
| tleman from Sampson wants go know
| why the company wants all that land
| Because II looks we'll 10 own no much
land, however worthless it may hr. for
l nrnhaltiv
to build the road on that much land if
the State Board Of Education can mud "A

Here's IA bill Of the greatest impOrtance
to my section which has been isolated
from the world for years, aud
are you going 10 kill this pro.
posed railroadi Talk about bad faith
when tho Board Of Education SAW it all
and did 1t all accepted their tcrmsF
The Board OF Education will not como
up here and say that the r. @ Railroad
Company is guilty Of had faith Whatcyor
else can be said one thing ~ certain
that the gentleman vino obtained tho
rights in the snpphmental act Of tho
| last Legislature are net the gentlemen
who are now asking for this charter.
Let the Board Of Education show whore
| the Schools have been imposed upon aud
| then III vote against everything tho
! company wants. IL In un ust aud unfair
| to any people to oppose this charter aud
| do not believe this Sonatc will do II.
Mr. Bollamy offered "A substitute 10 rc-
quire the railroad company To give TO
the State f25 900 in cash instead Of 80.
| 600 in bonds. / made the declaration
| Yesterday that the road was of itlio
value and that the mortgage bonds wcro
| of less value. ] therefore move that tho
| substitute be ena. ted 20 that the State
| Board can get casi. instead of bonds.
This substitute does away with tho see
tion limiting the execution Of mortgage
bonds by the company 10 so much per
mile.
Mr. Butler considered Mr. Bellamys
| position falrer than Mr.. Glman's AS u
! stood before 1t would give this land AS
| "A present 10 the corporation. The sen
| ator from ODslow does not like our inter
fering with the business Of his section.
| II tba' did hot effect the -cbool fund Of
the state / would no. have word to
say. There is another thing that have
heard and that is that whenever a pri-
yate charter IL asked for, you Senator'S
get up here aud say that the next Legis-
lature can repeal IL If the company
abuses IL, 50 let's pass it. Thc
last General Assembly granted this
charter and now when 1 get up here to
remedy IL according to the constitution.
] hear that the State ~ acting ~ bad
faith. Acting In bad faith when this cor
poration got this bill through without
the Senate even asking the state Board
about it
Mr. Bellamy thought We should have
better understanding Of the mater.
We were told yesterday that this las; act
Of Incorporation was carefully coarid-
cred by the last General Assembly. Tho
bill came up February l2tb, a month be.
fore the Legislature al Journed, and the
State Board bad plenty OF time To inyes-
gate it. | therefore regard that the
faith Of the State Is pledged. regard
it that the price offered to the state for
this land by the company il big price
and believe it il right TO take il.
, Mr.. Lucas declared he would bo
one of the last men 10 take one dol
lar from the school children Of the State.
/ can see the piausib.lity Of some Of tho
remarks Of the Senator from SAMPSON
but | do believe the contract made
3 by the last General Assembly was
= fair, square and legitimate. con
, sidered this with Major Finger my
, self and he considered it a good sale.
> There was no fault in that transaction
! 1t was thoroughly ventilated and tie
State Board was anxious for the con-
tract TO be made. Can we then repeal
that law without a causef ] do say II 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, bo
ready 10 draw their knife and slay ii.
1t is wrong. They 10 the State good. l
