CONTEST OVER ASPHALT.

Contention Between the House Regard

WASHINGTON, April 20.-It was "A
surprise even to the senators themselves
that so much time was spent last week
on the Indian appropriation bill, which
was not materially changed by the sem
ate from the form i'll which the bill
came from the committee. The con
test over the question of opening the
asphalt lands on the Uncompahgre res
ervation of Utah occupied some time.
and it maybe predicted with reasonable
certainty that this contest will be car
ried into the house. The subject in
volved is of great Importance to the
cities of the country. The asphalt used
i'll paving is still very expensive, and
the greater part of the supply thus far
employed has been brought here from
foreign countries at great cost. 1t is
claimed by the geological department
Of the government that the asphalt

some time to come. The asphalt is out

A Poor Outlook for Fruit.
Raleigh News and Observer


Between the heavy frosts and the San
Jose Scale the orchards of North Carolina
are this year having pretty hard time of
1t and the fruit crop will inevitably be
very short. The peach crop is already
practically destroyed by the frosts and
the other fruit trees, in almost every sec
ton, are suffering terribly from the new
pest, the San Jose Scale.
AS already told in these columns it has
been found by the State Botanist, Gerald
Mccarthy, in nearly all the fruit-growing
counties he has visited, and the last Leo
islature, recognizing the grave menace
the San Jose Scale is, appointed a special
commission for the purpose of taking such
steps as will stamp it out in this State.
They have held several meetings and done
some important work along this line.
They have just visited Southern Pines
one of the finest fruit growing sections of
the State. They found several orchards
infested to greater or less extent. Thev
held meeting of the fruit growers of the
section and all of them very unselfsh1y
consented to destroy the affected trees
though the loss falls very heavily on
some. The orchards of Messrs. Whipp1e
and Lewis are especially badly affected
MI. Whipple has already cut down and
burned one large orchard and ho& he will
have to destroy nearly all the trees he. has.
Mr.. Lewis orchards are in the same W
cinity and badly affected. The pest yc,ts
also found in Mr.. Van Lind1ey's orchard
AND he yesterday morning set force of
men to work cutting down and burnino
the trees that have the scale OF, them
The scale was also found or ni,,nbAr
of trees in the gardens and orchards in tha
town of Southern Pines, These too will
be destroyed.
The late frosts have not done muck dam
age IN this Southern Pines section, but
the frost of March 26th caused great in
jury, especially to peaches. Not more
than third of a crop, probably, not that
much, will be raised. The crop of eranes
will be fairly good. Berries were not in
jured.

MORE LAUNDERING,

The evidence accumulates as to
the incompetence and almost to-
tai worthlessness of the tasl Legis-
lature. The mistakes made and
the. uncon stitutional acts passed
mark it as the most remarkable
body, probably, that ever attempt
ed to leglslate for North Carolina
In addition to the many things
already told of the doings of the
body another big blunder has been
discovered. This is in the act -of
placing license tax on drum
mers. State Treasurer Worth de-
clares the act imperative and
void. His circular stating his
reasons for this decision was issued
last week and is as follows:
Section 81, Revenue Act of 1897
provides that Every person.
firm, company or corporation who
shall engage in the business of
selling OF offering for sale by a
drummer or drummers, with or
without samples, goods, wares. or
merchandise of any description,
IN this State, shall, before SO sell
ing or offering for sale any such
goods, wares, or merchandise. paw
to the State Treasurer a tax Of
fifty dollars (50.0O), and obtain a
license, which shall operate one
year from it's date"
1t is evident that the General
Assembly, by saying every per-
son, firm, company or corpo-
ration" meant that this tax
should apply to all drummers
alike, both foreign and resident.
But as the Supreme Courts, both
national and State, have decided
that State can not tax foreign
drummers, therefore this section is
imperative and void as applied to
foreign drummers. 1t is further ey-
ldent as the section was intended
to apply to all drummers alike
and cannot apply to foreign drum
mers, it should not, and can not
Justly apply to resident drummers
1t IS, also, evident that the Legis-
lature intended to put this tax
upon a class. If their power fails
as to part of the class, there is
no reason to believe it was inten-
ded to be in force as to the rest.
1t IS not rational to ascribe to the
Legislature purpose to impose a
burden upon portion of that
class resident within it's borders
and except that portion of the
same class who are non resident
L hold, therefore, that Section
5l, Revenue, Act of 1897, inasmucb
as 1T can not apply to all drum
mers as clearly intended, it can
not apply to any drummers and
Is therefore imperative and void.
