SUBSTITUTE FOR
WHITNEY co. BILL
CONTINUED on Ninth Page.)


----------
bill seemed precedent for the Senate
on corporations. and he wanted to get
the sense of the body on it's policy to-
wards them.
Senator Henderson said there were
forty or fifty other companies having
these powers and when he drew the bill
all he desircJl was TO give the company
as liberal a charter as others have.
Senator Morrison asked if the Sena
tor thought it constitutional to give
corporation eminent domain for fac
tories.
Senator Henderson said that if he
had not found it in other charters he
should not have thought of putting IT
in this bill, but the constitution has
nothing against it, every State is in
vested with she power to grant eminent
domain and all the constitution provides
is that no citizen shall be deprived of
his property except by law. The power
that the Senator from Rockingham OBJ
ects to, namely. the eminent domain,
has been stricken out in Difference to
the wishes Of the Senators. and he could
see no obj action to the bill now.
Senator Foushee thought the bill
gave no unusual powers for such a
great corporation. The last Legisla-
ture tried - he liberal and the result
has been that corporations have since
grown at the rate of two a week. Let
these corporations come, they will be
welcomed in Durham and Person any
way.
Senator Morrison said that the objec-
tionable feature had been eliminated
and the only thing he now opposed was
giving sucn broad rights without any
guarantee nat they would carry them
out
The bill passed second reading SO to 3,
Senators Qua. Robson and Morrison
voting no. tsa
