Notes from the Legislature.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 18th, 1899.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 11JII, 1000.
Without any unusual features the
Sixth Legislature convened at noon on
Monday, the fusionists settling their
differences and organizing the senate
with Lieut-Gov. Daniels presiding;
Senator High, of Clarke, President
pro tenn. The house was called to or
der by exsSpeaker Cline, and elected
the caucus nominee, E. III. Cute. OF
King, as Speaker. The first business
introduced was concurrent resolution
eulogizing President Mckinley on his
wise and patriotic course in connec-
ton With the Acknowledgements war:
also memorial on the death OF a. A.
Denny.
Tuesday forenoon the introduction
of bills began, covering the usual va
riety of subjects. In the selection OF
employees Mason failed in getting one
in either house, although Fred Bell
came near clerkship. At noon the
Governor delivered his message to the
joint houses in clear and expressive
manner. Among other things he re-
commended that the state printing be
let to the lowest bidder, citing other
states which do not expend more than
half what Washington does. He gave
the capitol project a black eye, and
the extra normal schools decided re-
buff, urging the increase of taxation
for the common schools.
The quadrangular senatorial fight is
the all-absorbing theme now, and has
been, excepting when the speakership
contest was at its height, when there
was lull, to increase with greater
intensity when the legislature was
organized. Each candidate is conf
dent Cor says so, at leasD, but one sin
gular thing is noticeable, that they
don't venture figures and it seems that
no mathematical rule can be used
which will determine any thing in the
least.
Wilson favers an early caucus which
he believes is for the best interest of
the people and party, and also an early
solution of the matter, but this others
seem to be averse to it, alleging that it
is scheme of some kind on the part
OF Wilson to further his own interest, =
though just where the scheme came in
the average legislator can not see.
The cry here of many is that Will
sons followers are all of the "Federal
Brigade" but it is noticeable that the
others are very anxious now, (and
have been for two years past) to break
into the federal lines.
No predictions can be made with
any degree of certainty Gas the speaker
ship contest was no test, the candidates
all disavowed any connection with it)
but indications are at this hour that
Wilson will lead with Foster close
second, and it is said that some of the
fusionists will favor Ankeny, making
him a strong competitor for the second
place. r.

AN TX REPUBLICAN SENATOR ON
g46USaS

If YOU think all leading republicans
in the north are dead in love with the
great system of robbery and oppres-
sion known as trusts, so very precious
to the heart Of some people in North
Carolina who are recipients OF their
benefactions, you should read the
newspapers. Among h able repre-
sentative men of the northwest is ex-
Senator William D. Washburn, who is
a great manufacturer. He has been
talking freely, and is reported in the
able organ of trusts, the New York
Tribune, as saying this:
Unless something is done at once to
stop the formation and exploitation of
trusts financial ruin will Overtake the
country, and the republican party will
be overthrown. He holds that the re-
publican administration must do more
than adopt resolutions against trusts,
and he advocates the abolition of all
protective duties when it is evident
hat a trust is securing exorbitant
profts on account of the duties. He
cites the steel rail industry, in which
he is interested, and the tinplate indus
try as Illustrating the immediate need
of withdrawing tariff duties, which
now tend to give to those industries
what he believes to be exorbitant
profits"
Read that last part. He wishes the
duty on behalf Of w rich industries
in which he is interested to be stripped
of the bounty levied upon the people
by the servile tools of the trusts-the
republicans in the congress-. Mr..
Washburn is a. Thoroughbred republic
can but he sees the great wrongs in
high protection and Internal trusts. He
says, but it is an overrating estimate:
The republican party has the brains
and courage to tackle this trust prob
lem if the gravity OF the situation is
brought home to the party leaders
Something should be done at once"
The roubl is that old party is rotten
and without any conscience.

says:
w soon found that the slave bust
ness still fiourished in Tawi Tawi.
Girls Of fifteen were valued a.

rice. One was offered to us at Taeaan
for three dollars in cash"
That Is fine business for Mckinley TO
work at What viii he do with these
sixty Or more islands that engage in
human slavery when he has shot
enough of the inhabitants to death to
own and u hold the remainder? The
thirteenth amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States declares that
neither slavery nor involuntary servi-
tude. excep as a punishment for
crime, whereof the party shah have
been duly convicted, shall exist Within
the United States, or any place subject

COUNTY

If you had taken a ride twenty or
thirty years ago from Rocky Mount
along the Tar River for twenty or thir-
ty miles in the very excellent produc-
tive county of Edgecombe, you would
have passed through dozens of very
fine farms. Riding with Major Hay, of
South Carolina, through Captain Turn
er Battles large plantation, about 1870,
we saw some 300 acres in cotton. He
said: Il have travelled much in my
own state, and have seen many superb
cotton farms. but 1 never beheld such
a field OF cotton before" 1t was Indeed
superb" 1t made a bale or more to
he acre. Other excellent farms, doubt
less as productive were all along the
river and elsewhere i'll the county. One
OF these farms was so productive that
it's valuation was over SIT per acre.
It is now valued at something over SIS
per acre
The Tarboro Southern publishes the
results shown by the tax books for

than the year before. 1t would be
