RALEIGH. n. c., Feb. 27-Special.-
There are large numbers Of prominent
tobacco men here to-day from all parts

of opposing what is known as the Wat
son tobacco bill, now pending
In the Legislature, the object
OF which is 10 break NJ the
so-called American Tobacco Company
Trust i'm North Carolina. Nearly every to-
bacco market In the State is represented.
The tobacco men met this morning and
organized by electing d. Y. Cooper, OF
Henderson, president, and G. i. Webb. or
Winston, secretary. a number OF res)lu-
tons from various markets were sub
mitted, and arguments were made showing
that such legislation would result in Sc
rious injury 70 the tobacco interests. as
well as TO the tobacco producers. The to-
bacco men appeared before the judiciary
committee this afternoon and presented a
strong case In opposition to the bill, show
ing that the effect OF II VIII be 10 force
the farmers to market their tobacco In
some other State. The bill will come up
in the House tomorrow.
The House to-day passed the revenue
act upon u final reading, and 1t was at
once sent over 10 the Senate and made the
special order for tomorrow. The Senate
to-day passed bills upon final reading 20
incorporate the Western North Carolina
and Atlanta Railroad Company; TO in
corporate the Commercial Bank OF Ruth
erfordton; TO incorporate the Bank OF
Kernersvlle.
The House to-day passed the State
Public Health bill. and occupied some time
in debating the bill 20 keep up public
roads OF the State by convict labor, which
was finally laid upon the table.
There WAS a marked falling off in at
tendance In both the Senate and House
to-day. Members are leaving rapidly, and
Il is probable that one or both branches
will bo left without a quorum before next
Saturday, the day set for final adjourn
ment. All important legislation, how
ever. has now been disposed of.
