Introduced by Representative Robinson
Yesterday Afternoon.
Just before the House adjourned YES
terday afternoon an important bill was
introduced by Mr.. Robinson. of Cum
berland.
1t is a bill to be entitled an act 20
provide for the employment of stenogra-
pliers in trials. 1t vii be put upon its
several readings this morning.
The text of the bill is as follows:
'sl'he General Assembly Of North Car
DINA do enact:
Section L. That at any hearing be-
fore the Superior court. or criminal
court. clerk. of Superior court. or any
referee or Reconnaissance TO take testi-
mony, stenographer may be employed
by the court. at the instance OF any
party in interest TO take the testimony
in shorthand and transcribe the same
into longhand or typewriting; and such
testimony when so taken and transcribed
shall he the official testimony upon the
approval of the court.
..Sec. ,. That before acting, the ste
nographer appointed by the court, clerk
referee or commissioner, shall be duly
sworn faithfully and impartially to take
down the testimony and transcribe the
same.
..Sec. 3. For his services such stenog-
rapher shall receive not exceeding nifty

property and that the dividends paid
We're not warranted"
How is il that they claim the re-
ceipts arc increasing! This they fail
to show, inasmuch as Captain Dill, the
general superintendent, admitted to the
committee that durins the past eight
years the receipts Of The former four
years were greater than the latter four.
and only one year in the latter four
years equalled either of the four pre-
vious years; showing an actual decrease
in the business for this period of some
tthing over $4,000. Such is state man
agement of railroads"
What connection do your people con-
template! None except our westwardly
extension and boat connection at New
bern and Morehead City arrangements
having already been made for these
boat connections. This will result in a
great volume of freight. consisting Of
lumber, cotton. coal. brown stone, etc.
passing through these ports
What about the advisability Of the
States selling? 1T is clearly the duty
OF the State to sell upon conditions
named. il was unquastionably the de-
sign and intention of the charter and its
founders to sell and extend the road.
as the charter expressly implies this
] understand You have applied to the
Legislature for charter for your OK
tension from Goldsboro west through
the counties named. DO you intend to
build this road? Not unless we can
get the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad. We are making every arrange
ment as we feel the State will sell Ms the
road after the people have given the
matter due consideration.

\ CARD.

To the Editor: The comparative cost
of the Public Printing as pub
iished in another paper on Feb
ruary 18th, is greatly misleading,
for the reason that the plain compost
ton is put down 80 per cent more than
the correct amount; the rule and figure
work at more than 20 per cent more
than there is, while the press work is
given at IS per cent above what there
is. SO, that in the comparison of the
Capital Printing Co, bid with the law
as passed by the Legislature, there
is only difference of about 81, 192,G6,
And ON nearly all Of the work included
in the statement the Capital Printing
| 20, admitted to the committee THAT
THEY WOULD LOSE MONEY; BUT
THAT THEY EXPECTED TO
on WHICH THE LAW DID NOT
FIN ANY PRICE. The gentlemen of the
| Committee on Public Printing who
| framed the bin did not frame it for
any such padding as this. The prices
named in the bill are as cheap as good
work can be done, and cheaper than
those of any Southern State. and the com
mittce enquired fully on this point.
rs II PROOF tllAt Iilt ma 81 ire Ndpltdl
| Printing Co. was not based on business
principles. they declined to take that
| part of the work upon which they speci-
| fed prices. claiming that they wohld
| lose thereby. and insisted upon the
committee awarding them all the print
| ing, after admitting that they expected
| to make mp their losses on work upon
which there is no price fixed. Or. as
expressed by member Of the commit
| tee. Hthey propose 10 sell the State Il
$500 hat for S1.00 and charge $1,000
| for $1,000 oyereoat. 1t appears TO
| me" said the Senator, 'that the State
will be out $500 on that transaction"
We did not put in a bid for the work.
| hut asked for the contract at the prices
named in the BILL knowing. as we well
| do. that those prices are as low as ANY
house can afford To- offer and honestly,
faithfully and prompt4y do the work.
| And we do not want the work unless
we can do the same with equal justice
| 10 the State and to orr workmen.
| In other words. if we cannot take the
| contract and deal just rs squarely and
honestly with the State as we have al
ways done with private customers. we
| do not want il at all.
