His Action in Greene County Being
Severely Criticised
To impeach or not to impeach Judge
Timberlakc, Fusionist. was the question
that incidentally confronted the House
judiciary Committee yesterday after
noon.
Judge Conner laid a bill before the
committee for the relief of the county
commissioners of Greene county to pre-
vent the trial of title to an office except
by quo warranto. In that county
there is Il contest over all the county
offices and pending the quo warranto
Judge Timberlake issued an injunction
returnable before Judge Allen, Febru-
airy 18th, restraining the commissioners
who are in possession of the office from
transacting any business. AS Judge
Conner did not favor the bill as drawn,
it goes over to Mr.. Craig to prepare so
as to prohibit such interference by the
courts.
Though the impeachment of Judge
Timberlake was suggested, it met with
Though the impeachment of Judge Tim
berlake was only suggested, it met with
an approval from some members of the
committee, but nothing along that line
was done.
Mr.. Rountree's bill simplifying and
codifying the probate laws will be re-
ported favorably with amendments. This
bill was prepared by Mr.. s. f. Morde-
cai of this city. On motion it was de-
cided to call up the Norwood impeach-

THE SALE OF LEAF TOBACCO.
Farmers Ask Protection From the
Warehouse Drummer.

Some little discussion was aroused.
between the farmer members and the
lawyers in the House, over bill making
it q mistlemeanor fer n farmer or
warehouseman to violate a written con-
tract for the sale of leaf tobacco at q
stated price.
The bill III. B. 2SD had been unfa-
vorably reported by the committee, and
some one moved to table it.
Mr.. Davis, of Franklin, author of
the bill. hoped this course would not
tie taken. He said in his county there
were many agents for warehouses. They
go around among the farmers making
contracts, agreeing to pay certain prices
for leaf tobacco. But when the tobac
co is carried to the market the agent
can't be found and the farmer is forced
to put his tobacco on the market. and
take anything he can get.
Mr.. Foushee, of Durham, thought this
bill making violation of contract Il mis-
dcmeanor was going too far, and that
the bill ought not to pass.
Mr. Rountree, of New Hanover, con-
sidered the bill absolutely revolutionary.
1--WE have been under the domain of
the common law many hundreds years,
and this is the first time ] ever heard
of making breach of contract a crimi-
nal offense. / believe with Lord Hale
that the common law is wiser than any
individual--wiser even than this Legis-
lature. with all its wisdom"
Mr.. Davis, of Haywood, supported the
bill. He said the drummer made the
contract and if it was a good one he'd
stick to the trade; if it happened to be a
bad trade, then he'd back out. He
thought there ought to be some way to
prevent this.
Mr.. Powell, of Wake. had known
many such cases, and thought the bill a
good one. Certainly it was a fair one,
being equally binding on both farmer
and warehouseman
Mr.. Overman believed the bill VIOLA
ton of section Is, article 1, of the Con-
stitut;on. He therefore thought it EN-
minently proper that it be referred to
the Judiciary committee.
Mr.. White, of Halifax, saw no use
for referring. The bin, he pronounced
a bad one and wanted it put on the
table
Mr.. Gillian. of Edgecombe, spoke
much to the same effect, and contended
that such bill would be unjust both
to farmer and warehouseman and would
not accomplish the end it is intended to
attain.
The motion to refer to the Committee
0n judiciary prevailed.

HAMPTON GETS IN A HOLE.
Talks Too Much ON the Mt. Airy Town
ship Bill.

When the bill to restore Mt. Airy
township. Surry county, came up for ac-
ton by the House, the Fusion Legisla-
ture of 1895 and 1897 were shown up
N ii most unenviable light.
And Mr. Hampton, the Republican
leader, in trying to defend them, got
himself into rather sticky hcle. He
acknowledged that in 1897 Mt. Airy
township had voted $4,000 of Cape
Fear and Yadvin Railroal Company:
that the interest was regularly paid on
these bonds by The township up 70 1895.
Then the Fusion Legislature reduced the
township so as to include only the town
of Mt Airy. Then the town paid the in
terest until 1897 when the next Legisla-
ture, also Fusion wiped out the town
ship entirely and created in its place
Granite and Arrarat townships. Since
then, Mr.. Hampton said, nobobdy has
been paying the interest and the mat
ter is now in the courts.
And that is why / ask this Legisla
lure not to restore this township.
don't want it to take any part in the
legal fight. After the court has render
ed its decision I'm willing for the town
ship to be restored.
Il want it understood that | am no
repudiationist, and so far as know the
claim is a just one and ought to be
paid"
Mr.. Gillian, Of Edgeepmbe: "If the
claim is a just one, why do you oppose
this billT'
Mr.. Hampton: Because / consider the
courts the proper remedy
Mr.. Ray, of Macon: do you admit
that it's just debt?''
Mr.. Hampton: $50 far as / know"
Mr.. Ray: "And yet if | understand
YOU Alright you come here and oppose
Its payment"
Mr.. Gattis, of Orange, chairman of
| the Committee ON Counties, Cities and
Towns by which the bill was consider
ed, reviewed the evidence that was be-
fore the committee.
There were several persons here
from Mt. Airy" he said in conclusion.
They all acknowledged the debt just
one. They simply plead that it was not
expedient at this time to restore the
township, for political reasons. 1t is al
ways eXpedient to be honest. The Dem
ocratic party is party of honesty and
justice"
Mr.. Hampton called the ayes and
| noes. The call was sustained, and the
vote resulted: Ayes, 81; noes, IL.
All those voting i'll the negative were
| Republicans.
The following members explained their
| votes:
Mr.. Clarkson (Dem.), of Mecklenburg:
I'm against repudiating any contract
| in any shape or FORM"
| Mr.. Gillian (Dem.). of Edgecombe:
| THE debt is admitted to be just one.
| by all parties"
| Smith (col., Rep.l, of Craven: '1've
never signed paper in my life, but that
| made it good; I've never given my
| business word that I did not make il
good. I'm glad this Legislature is set
ting the good example of paying honest
| debts
Mr.. Lowry (Rep.). of Forsyth: Il
| know very little of the facts governing
this case but as matter of principle
vote aye"
