Washington Hastings next time
it seems to be necessary to present an
exhibition of Kent county poverty it
would be better for Kent county TO pick
out a better specimen of its poverty
stricken citizens There was not much
in his argument other than stuff and
buncombe. It is unfair to class us as
bloated manufacturers who are trying to
get out of paying our taxes. We come
here to try to kill, in the Senate, bill
which precipitately passed the House"
Mr.. Fulton arose and asked permission
to read two letters
Senator Williams objected. He said he
wanted TO 20 away on the 3 "a train and
wanted an opportunity to vote on the bill
before he went
Mr.. Fulton Persisted.
Mr. Fulton was determined TO get to
read the letters and began on one from
the late John Peoples, well known
bank cashier of Wilmington.
He was given three minutes to do the
work The time expired before he be-
gan on the second letter
Mr. Williams raised another objection,
and, at last, Mr.. Fulton desisted As he
folded his manuscript he said:
ut hurts, know but / can't helD IL. '
The hearing was then declared of and
the Senate proceeded to business.
