THE JIM CROW CAR BILL.
A New Substitute Passes he House
Unanimously.

The jim Crow Car Bill came under
the wire IN the House yesterday, and
will now go over to the Senate TO try
its fortunes there.
1t has been much disfigured II rs
long race and one would never recog-
nize it. In fact it is not one of the ofi-
ginal bills that started out. 1t is not
even u committee substitute.
1t is bill drawn by Mr.. Craig Tues
day night, after the committee bill hal
passed its second reading. 1t was in,
troduced yesterday morning as subsfi-
tute for the committee bill and passed
unanimously.
There was very little discussion be-
yond debate over am amendment offered
by Mr.. Justice.
The bill fixed the penalty at $1,000
and provided that only the Railroad
Commission could bring suit for its re-
covery.
To this Mr.. Justice objected lie
| thought the amount of the penalty ought
to be reduced and there ought to he
| some machinery by which the person ag.
grieved could bring suit. Under this
bin there will be no suits.
Mr.. Council-"Do you think under
this bill any one will be prevented
from bringing suit for damagey
] Mr.. Justice-.'There is no damage.

TAX ON DISPENSARY.
Continued from LIST page.)

dispensaries go 10 the county school
fund.-
Mr.. Thompson-"In some counties the
profits are so appropriated. In others
they are applied to the school fund of
the town having the ,iispcnsnrv.
Mr. Boushall -.'I'm Informed nv the
Treasurer that nor a penny of the ha.-
room license tax ends it's way into the
State Treasury. The only effect of this
amendment, therefore. will be turn the
funds back and forlh from one account
TO another, paying commission each
time"
Mr.. Clarkson-"I don't think there is
longer any doubt that the gentleman
from BERTHE winston is trying to do by
indirection that which he cannot do di-
rectly."
MIR. Boushall-"I hope the gentleman
from BERTHE will now defend himself
with the same vigor that he manifested
when made similar statement
Mr.. Winston-''I had not done so be-
cause ! had hoped, after my first state
ment, the good sense of members would
make it unnecessary"
Mr.. Clarkson-.Im talking sense. He's
talking no sense I'm in favor of dis
pensary and i don't hesitate to say so.
l see no reason for the passage of this
amendment
Mr.. Holman--sThere's not one dollar
of the bar-shop money that gets into the
State Treasury, and to pass this law
simply robs one county to contribute to
the school fund of counties that are not
entitled TO it"
Mr.. Council was in favor of dispensa-
ries, but he thought it only fair that in
the matter of taxation they ought to be
put on the same footing. He contended
that as the sbar-rooms were required to
pay privilege tax of 500 the dispensa-
ries ought to do the same.
Mr.. Clarkson suggested that the mat
ter be passed over in order that mem
bers might inform themselves as to what
disposition was really made of this tax.
and what effect it would have on the
school fund, and on the dispensaries.
Mr.. Winston-"I have no earthly OBJ
lection to that course. All | want is
for the State of North Carolina to get
some revenue out of this monopoly of
bar-rooms.
The matter was therefore passed over
and will probably come up again to-day
for action.

English manufacturers will never get
over the shock they received when 1t
was announced that an American Arm
had secured the contract for the cree
ton Of the AtbaFa bridge in Africa. At
first they claimed that the American
Steel Company, of Philadelphia, had
secured the contract by unfair means,
but this was discounted when the gov
eminent explained that 1t was awarded
in fair competition. Since then the
British manufacturers have been in-
dulging In a little Introspectlon. Won
derins what the matter was with them.
Iron and steel products are now being
hurled into the United Kingdom at a
rate to make their heads swim in
amazement. Our machinery and me-
chanical devices have the preference,
until to them. the world appears all
awry
Some have awakened to realization
Of the situation and. loath as they are.
freely confess that a great deal OF the
success OF Americana is due to push, or
in other words. advertising. The Eng
llsh merchants and manufacturers are
quite placid in their trade and business
methods, and are additionally opposed
to exploiting their wares like the COM
mon bagman." The American comes in
with a regular trumpet flourish, dis
playing wares always as good but FREE
quently better, than the English make
and captures the market.
1t is claimed that the American Steel
Company lost money on the Albara
bridge contract. 1t is more than likely
that they did. They no doubt took 1t
knowing they would lose. But what u
gain theirs has been in the gigantic adj
vertlsement 1t received on two conu-
nents. What they lost on Atbara they
will more than recover in future trans
actions. The moral is plain-advertise,
even IL 1t is attended with a loss at
first. Keep the people talking about
you and admlring your nerve. This is
Just as true in regard to the more mod
est business enterprises as 1t is of pre-
tentlous corporations.

AGrave Mistake.

The Intelligencer yesterday expressed
some wonder at the action of the Ma
tional Woman Christian Temperance
Union convention in passing resolutions
condemninS the Philippine policy OF the
administration, Intlmating that such a
subject was without the scope or object
of the organization, 1t now appears
that some of the members of the con-
vention have come to a realizing sense
Of the mistake that was made.
A high officer in the Unlor, who re-
fused to permit the use of her name,
very clearly outlines the blunder in the
following terms: 1.-THE union made the
mistake Of its life in passing the resolu-
tons. In order to further our temper.
ance work we have much to ask Of the
administration. and our requests will
have but little weight when by our acts
we show that we have no faith in Pres
ldent Mckinley and the other official
heads of our government. The union
will live to regret yesterdays work"
